Keyuan Pharmaceutical is fully implementing its "Manufacturing Digitalization and Intelligentization" development strategy, accelerating the deep integration of next-generation information technology with manufacturing. This initiative aims to build a new quality of productivity, focusing on the digitalization, intelligentization, and networking of manufacturing processes, thereby driving a transformative leap from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing." Meanwhile, the company's subsidiary, Linuo Pharmaceutical, is actively constructing an intelligent manufacturing project for injectables, meticulously designed in line with the "Smart Manufacturing Level 4 Standard." This project is set to become a benchmark innovation model in areas such as digital manufacturing, smart quality inspection, and intelligent园区 management, positioning it well for consideration as a Lighthouse Factory.

After the project is completed and put into operation, it will establish a structure centered around the Jinan Data Computing Center, with distributed storage in both Shanghe and Jinan, along with secure off-site backups. At the same time, it will connect to pharmaceutical R&D databases such as Beijing Nuokanda, as well as marketing databases from Hainan GSP Company, creating a favorable scenario of multi-site interconnection and collaborative development.

In 2024, the intelligent manufacturing project for injectables was successfully selected as part of the "2024 Provincial Key Projects for Green, Low-Carbon, and High-Quality Development," highlighting Keway Pharmaceutical & Linuo Pharmaceutical's outstanding achievements in the field of digital and intelligent manufacturing.

2 Implement Lean Digital and Intelligent Operations Management

Promote quality improvement, cost reduction, and efficiency enhancement

In the context of today's rapidly evolving digital and intelligent manufacturing landscape, Lean Digitalization—representing the deep integration of lean management practices with digital technologies—empowers both approaches mutually, helping manufacturing enterprises optimize resource allocation, boost production efficiency, enhance business performance, and deliver superior customer experiences. As a result, it is increasingly gaining prominence in corporate development.

To achieve high-quality enterprise development, Keyuan Pharmaceutical has positioned lean, digital, and intelligent operational management as one of the core principles driving its corporate growth. By embracing strategies centered on leanness, standardization, automation, information technology, digitalization, intelligence, and sustainability, the company is comprehensively enhancing its production, operational, and managerial capabilities.

Under the guidance of the group's lean experts, the company established a Lean Promotion Committee and has embarked on in-depth exploration and practical implementation in building a lean production system. Actively adopting advanced tools such as digital and intelligent lean value-stream analysis, the company uses project-based improvements as a key driver to gradually establish standardized operations on the shop floor. As a result, significant enhancements have been achieved at the benchmark factory, marking solid progress toward the company's goal of improving quality, reducing costs, and boosting efficiency.
