1 Introduction
Baosteel is one of the largest steel manufacturers in the world, providing premium quality products that are used in a variety of industries.In order to keep its products consistently high-quality, Baosteel has developed a strict brand-naming system to ensure that customers can depend on the grade of its products.This paper outlines the standard brand-naming system established by Baosteel for its 1550 cold-rolled steel products.
2 The Standard Naming Process
Baosteels 1550 cold-rolled steel products are identified by a thirteen-digit code, which is composed of three main parts:the steel grade, the manufacturers mark, and the products individual identification number. The first two digits of the code, the steel grade, are fixed at the 1550 mark, but the manufacturers mark and individual identification number vary depending on the specific product ordered.The manufacturers mark is composed of a letter followed by two numbers that indicate, respectively, the specific steelmaking plant and production line from which the steel was made.The final eight digits are an individual identification number that identifies each coil of material as a unique product.
3 Application of the Standard Naming Process
Baosteel applies the standard naming process to all of its 1550 cold-rolled steel products.For example, when a customer orders a coil of 1550 cold-rolled steel, the product is labeled with a thirteen-digit code.The first two digits identify the steel grade, the next three digits identify the manufacturers mark (BA25, for example), and the last eight digits (such as 00009421) are the individual identification number given to the entire coil.In this example, the entire product code would read as 1550BA2500009421.
4 Benefits of the Standard Brand Naming System
By using the standard brand-naming system for its 1550 cold-rolled steel products, Baosteel is able to maintain a high level of control over the quality of its products.By ensuring that every coil of steel is uniquely identified, Baosteel can easily locate and replace faulty coils of steel before they are sold.This reduces the risk of customer dissatisfaction and increases customer confidence in the quality of Baosteels products.Additionally, the standard naming system allows customers to quickly and easily compare similar products from different production batches.
5 Conclusion
Baosteels standard brand-naming system for its 1550 cold-rolled steel products ensures that customers receive products that are consistently high-quality.By using a unique thirteen-digit identification code for each coil of steel, Baosteel can maintain control over the quality of its products, reducing any risk of customer dissatisfaction and increasing customer confidence.Furthermore, the standard naming system allows customers to quickly and easily compare and order specific products from different production batches.
