Officials and workers in the metal industry sector kindle fierce flames of production upswing, true to the decisions of the 9th and 10th plenary meetings of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

The officials of the Ministry of Metal Industry take thorough measures for raw materials supply in close contact with the iron ore production units and railway sector, mindful of the importance of this undertaking in sufficiently satisfying the increasing demand for iron and steel.

Besides, they learn in detail the operation of equipment at iron and steel producers and strictly demand that they timely examine and repair the equipment in a responsible manner.

Those of the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex wage a round-the-clock campaign.

The party organization of the complex arouses the enthusiasm of the workers and technicians through various kinds of fresh ideological education.

With a firm viewpoint that the working ratio of equipment decides production results, the officials intensify control and summing up to ensure that each unit manages the equipment and technology in a substantial manner.

The workers and technicians of the blast furnace workshop Nos. 1 and 2 and Steel Workshop No. 2 regard the fulfilment of their production assignments as a serious matter of whether to implement the Party decisions successfully or not and help and lead one another forward to set new standards and records. In particular, they adopt worthwhile technical innovation schemes to improve the quality of products.

Those of the Chollima Steel Complex put spurs to production.

The officials thoroughly establish an alternated production system with the main stress on the UHP electric arc furnace on one hand and launch operation and control to elevate the working ratio of the rolling mill to the maximum on the other. Meanwhile, they give precedence to examination and repair of power equipment in order not to allow even the tiniest abnormality in the current production.

The workers of the steel workshop steadily augment their production achievement by shortening the melting time and raw material feeding time and actively finding out and introducing rational working methods.

The rolling workshop reliably guarantees the steel production by dint of science and technology amid the flames of mass-based technological innovation drive.

Those of units in charge of production of iron ores, refractories and electrodes including the Musan Mining Complex rev up the production at iron and steel producers by making collective innovation.
