Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 4
When he first joined the Taiwan-Shanghai company, Wang Yiyuan made a request to Manager Ding of the business department and offered to go to the production workshop for half a month as an intern.

According to the company's practice, every new salesman will have the experience of going to the production workshop for an internship first, but the time will not be very long, usually about a week.

Manager Ding didn't understand Wang Yiyuan's request to leave the workshop for such a long time at first, and felt that his idea was a bit special, but thinking of Wang Yiyuan's previous factory work experience, he finally agreed.

Of course, Wang Yiyuan is familiar with the work in the workshop.He feels that although each factory has different industries and different products, the so-called thousands of people have thousands of faces, but their basic production operations, operating procedures and management methods have certain laws and universality, and there are still similarities.

Wang Yiyuan even drew up an internship plan by himself, and he planned to divide the entire internship period into two parts.

First use about ten days to familiarize yourself with the printing production facilities and equipment, and their general use and usage. If allowed, it is best to be able to directly operate on the machine; then the next five days will be the familiarization and Familiar with auxiliary programs such as proofing, design and production, packaging and delivery.

Although the time of fifteen days is a bit tight, many things are unlikely to be very deep, and even if it is not done well, it will only be superficial, perhaps only touched some superficial.But Wang Yiyuan has other preparations, that is, try to get in touch with the managers and workers in the workshop as much as possible, and learn more from them.

Based on Wang Yiyuan's previous experience, the production workshop is a place where talented people emerge. As a newcomer, in fact, the things that you really need to learn are basically in the hands of these so-called masters. If you don't deal with them in depth, It is certain that you will not master real first-hand, detailed information and gains, at least some production technical tips, experience and lessons, etc., will be greatly reduced.

Xiao Yunhua, the production manager, led Wang Yiyuan through the front desk and delivery area of ​​the factory warehouse, and then passed through a heavy gate. He changed into work clothes and a work cap. The gate, and finally arrived at the real production workshop of the Taihu company.

Like most Taiwan-funded enterprises, the production workshop of Taihu Company implements strict corporate lean management and 6S management. 6S management originated in Japan, and now it has become the basic management method for all Japanese companies.Taiwanese companies admire this management method very much, and quickly followed suit and used it for their own use.

Originally, in Wang Yiyuan's imagination, as a printing factory in the manufacturing industry, some problems such as flying paper scraps, noise from machines, and air mixed with glue smell and ink smell should be inevitable.

But as soon as he stepped into the workshop, what he saw and knew immediately overturned his previous inherent impression. His most intuitive first feeling is that it is not true that a company like Taihu Company can become stronger and bigger. Not without reason.

The first is the overall environment of the factory.The company's rigorous 6S management and lean management can be reflected and seen in every corner of this workshop.

Entering the workshop, I saw a clean and tidy environment and orderly work procedures. After seeing the advanced machines and assembly lines, the skilled operation of those workers, and the well-organized management of the job site, I can fully feel the modernization strength of Taihu Company. .

The second is the on-site management and efficiency of the factory.The items in the workshop are arranged in a neat and orderly manner, and all operations follow the principle of the shortest possible pick-up time. Unlike the printing companies in my impression, the printing environment is full of randomness and typical messiness.

During the break at noon, every worker will consciously organize his area in order and keep it clean.Workshop operators are very strict on quality control, and all printed products must be specially inspected.Xiao Yunhua said that there are some jobs where customers have very high requirements and no flaws are allowed, especially in the instructions of medicines and food.

The third is the planning and layout of the operation process and nodes, especially in the design of the core printing machine operation room.The printing factory is different from other industries and enterprises. If you want to print high-quality finished products, the environment where the printing machine is located is very important.

In order to ensure a good environment in the workshop, the entire workshop has achieved constant temperature and humidity. The workshop has also installed exhaust devices and humidifiers. The lighting is also specially designed according to the location of the printing press.

Xiao Yunhua told Wang Yiyuan that the printers in the workshop here organize, tidy up and clean up anytime and anywhere. This is one of the basic tasks of printing operators, so the printing machines in the factory are well maintained.

He also said that there are two Hamada printing machines in the company that have been used for more than ten years. Due to the good maintenance, the machines still look like new, so the quality of the printed products can be well guaranteed.

Wang Yiyuan is no stranger to lean management and 6S management. He has personally practiced and implemented them in his original factory in Ningbo.

But he felt that compared with the current Taiwan-Shanghai company, the gap is still quite large.Therefore, Wang Yiyuan devoted himself more wholeheartedly to this rare practice and study.

After half a month, Wang Yiyuan has a direct impression and experience of the various production equipment and production processes of the printing factory, and the entire production process from design, plate making, printing, binding, packaging to logistics. Master the professional terms and industry language related to printing.

After a period of observation, study and comparison, Wang Yiyuan believes that compared with the previous work unit, the gap between the two companies is mainly reflected in the production managers, especially the professionalism of the production managers is very important, and the business owners Management skills are more important.

In the last few days, he used his spare time, combined with what he saw and heard in the factory, and his previous experience in the 6S production management of the Ningbo factory, to discuss the system construction, production organization and coordination of the workshop production management of the Taihu company. The rationality of the arrangement and the connection of the production process, the current problems in the workshop and the solutions, etc., put forward some ideas of my own, and formed a written suggestion of more than 5000 words, and reported it to the company in charge of production in private. Manager Sun Yuquan and Manager Ding from the Business Department of his own department.

At that time, when Taiwanese companies entered the mainland to invest and build factories, out of prudence, they generally made professional assessments of the mainland's national policies, social relations, corporate governance, and even customs and customs.

But even so, they still feel that it is not safe enough. At the same time, they will hire a mainland person with certain social connections in the investment location as the company manager to help handle all aspects of the Taiwan-funded company's relationship in the mainland.The manager, whose responsibilities and status are relatively detached, but generally does not have any substantive rights within the company.

But this manager Sun Yuquan is an exception.

This 60-year-old man is always neatly dressed, has a cool head, his gray and white hair is neatly combed, and he keeps his chest up at all times. He just likes to drink a little wine occasionally. He was born and raised in the local Gu Genglang’s team in Guanghua Village, secondly, he was the deputy production director of Shanghai No. [-] Printing Factory before retiring. The company also let him assume the actual position of the production management of the Taihu company, with duties and powers equivalent to the factory director.

Manager Sun didn't pay much attention to Wang Yiyuan's internship in the production workshop at the beginning, thinking it was just another routine internship.

After he read Wang Yiyuan's suggestion report again and again, he felt that it was not only very practical, but also very deep and sincere, and he looked at Wang Yiyuan differently.Although he was in charge of production, he didn't try to avoid shortcomings, but directly submitted the report to Xiao Jingdong, the general manager of the company.

Mr. Xiao read it carefully from beginning to end, and thought the report was very good. He wrote a sentence in English on the first page of the report, very good.

Manager Sun is an old man who knows how to discover, appreciate and cherish talents. He thinks that Wang Yiyuan is likely to be a talented person in production management. Mr. Xiao stopped it.

Xiao always said that at the time, this Xiao Wang, it seems, still has two brushes, isn't he applying for a job?Then let him do the business first, and if it really fails, he will go back to the factory, and it will not be too late to do production management at that time.Of course, it is impossible for Wang Yiyuan to know all this.

Manager Sun attached great importance to the suggestion report approved by the boss. He invited Wang Yiyuan, and also called all the factory personnel to hold an on-site meeting, and conducted a detailed analysis of the suggestions and existing problems in the report. Correspondence to review one by one, in the actual work to further improve and perfect.

He also took the lead in the special affairs of the production department. After reporting to the general manager for approval, Wang Yiyuan was specially awarded the company's production star of the month, with a reward of [-] yuan.

But in this way, manager Ding of the company's business department was unable to step down, and the employees of the business department were awarded the highest reward by the production department, which was unprecedented in the company.

He secretly thought, especially this Wang Yiyuan, who made such a big splash just after he arrived at the company, what is going on?But he had no other choice, so he went downhill and selected Wang Yiyuan as the business star of the month, but the bonus was discounted from [-] yuan to [-] yuan.

As the saying goes, big companies behave as people, and small companies do things.Wang Yiyuan did not expect the result to become like this.

Originally writing this suggestion report, apart from his itchy hands, he mainly wanted to make a stage summary of his work during his internship in the factory, and the report was sent in private, and he never thought it would be made public.At the same time, in order to avoid suspicion in the department, he also gave a copy to Manager Ding.

The result of the business star, when it was announced at the business scheduling meeting on Saturday afternoon at the end of the month, made Wang Yiyuan, a salesman who had not yet done a penny business, still be teased by other salesmen.Fortunately, because Wang Yiyuan is new here, no one has any ill intentions towards him.

Of course, because of this report, Wang Yiyuan not only got substantial benefits, but also got a bonus of [-] yuan, and also established a good relationship with various people in the company's production department. Inadvertently narrowing the distance with other salesmen, the group that was originally a competitor accepted him invisibly and easily, making Wang Yiyuan integrate into the big family of the company's business department faster.

These were unexpected by Wang Yiyuan, and they were considered unintentional.
