　　The Xingling Extraction Workshop is the production department for the national Class II new drug "ginkgolide esters (raw materials)". In 2015, the Xingling Extraction Workshop participated in the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Group's "Strive to be the Main Force, Contribute to the New Shanghai Pharmaceutical" labor competition. Using the competition as a vehicle, it promoted Lean Six Sigma and cost reduction and efficiency improvement projects, achieving excellent achievements:

　　Annual production of ginkgolide esters reached 13.6 tons, a year-on-year increase of 10.1%;

　　The annual product first-pass acceptance rate and market sampling acceptance rate both reached 100%;

　　No safety production accidents occurred throughout the year;

　　With "improving the yield of ginkgolide ester products" as the project, a Lean Six Sigma project was launched, improving the yield and generating annual revenue of 1.98 million yuan;

　　Cost reduction and efficiency improvement were achieved through multiple channels, reducing ethanol consumption by 186.88 tons and cyclohexane consumption by 14.1 tons, saving over 1.536 million yuan; batch production time was reduced by 18.4% year-on-year.

　　Xingling Pharmaceutical's strong innovative Culture has continuously contributed to the construction of a learning-oriented team, achieving remarkable results.

　　Leading the Way, Setting an Example—Comrade Zhu Baozhong, the workshop's person in charge, participated in the development of two utility model patents, the "Vacuum System Ethanol Recovery Device" and "A Type of Decolorization Extraction Equipment," which were authorized in the first half of 2015; the "Vacuum System Ethanol Recovery Device" received the "My Post, My Innovation" continuous improvement proposal excellence award and the "Excellent Employee Technical Innovation Achievement Award" from the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Group Trade Union in October 2015. In January 2016, the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Group awarded Comrade Zhu Baozhong the "2015 Advanced Individual Award".

　　Developing Wings, Practical Training—Comrade Wang Jinfeng, the workshop supervisor, served as the Green Belt leader for the Lean Six Sigma project "Improving the Yield of Ginkgolide Ester Products." During the project implementation, he led the team to find "three key points" and "two quick wins" through a large amount of testing and data analysis, effectively improving the product yield by 9.09% year-on-year. On April 29, 2016, the Qingpu Industrial Park Youth League Committee awarded Comrade Wang Jinfeng the "Youth Pioneer" title.

　　Flying Together, Pursuing Excellence—Workshop employees actively participated in the trade union's "Post Innovation, Enterprise Efficiency Improvement, and Individual Optimization" rationalization suggestion activities, practically implementing the company's core values. While further strengthening team cohesion, this also effectively promoted performance improvement. 37 rationalization suggestions were put forward concerning cost reduction and efficiency improvement, Lean Six Sigma, safety production, quality management, and Culture. Based on the suggestions of Comrade Yu Zhengrong ("Improving the operation of collecting supernatant in the sedimentation process") and Comrade Yang Xiaowei ("Adjusting the powder collection interval time in the spray drying process"), the company promptly revised the standard operating procedures, and the implementation yielded significant benefits.

　　In January 2016, the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Group awarded the Extraction Workshop the "2015 Team Contribution Award".

　　Focusing on the three-year development plan of Shanghai Pharmaceutical Xingling, Xingling people are working towards the grand goal of "Concentrating Wisdom and Energy to Achieve Innovative Breakthroughs, Aiming High and Leading the Ginkgolide Era." On the road of innovative development, they uphold the historical inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine Culture and the unity of modern innovation, interpreting the spirit of craftsmanship!
