Chapter 127 Quality Management, Project 552

After Lin Yi explained the requirements, he entrusted the site selection and design of the building to Lin Bing and Senior Brother Jin. He did not go back to the United States, but went to Singapore together accompanied by Xiao Luo and Manager Yi.

"Boss, you see, after the transformation of total quality management, more than 16,000 suggestions have been collected. Just by mouth, this systematic project is not clear at all!"

"So many, the Lion City branch, there are only a few hundred people in total, right?"

"It's not just us, it's the result of more than a dozen collaborators in the past two months. The total number of participants was about 4,000, and each person made an average of four suggestions. From procurement to warehousing, from processes to processes, all aspects are involved. ”

"That's pretty comprehensive!"

It took two days to visit every department and every partner factory. After having an intuitive impression, Lin Yi returned to the headquarters and listened to Dr. Taguchi's report.

When he was in his 20s, he invented the Taguchi method and became the founder of quality engineering. In RB, which has a very heavy resume, this is not easy.

"The manufacturing of every product is a systematic project, which requires the participation of all employees and the reform of the whole supply chain. Just like the barrel principle says, as long as there is a shortcoming, the quality will not be up to the expiration date. ”

Now in his 50s, the Ph.D. has become a world-class expert. Although Lin Yi was not a primary school student, the numbers given by the other party really made him dumbfounded.

If a small diode is found to have a problem during component inspection, the loss is only $1, the loss is $20 for rework when the circuit board is installed and then checked, and the loss is $200 for factory inspection. Encountered customer complaints, return and exchange loss of 1000!

Lin Yi had an idea: "An iron nail was missing, a horseshoe was broken, a war horse was broken, a king was lost, a war was lost, and a country was lost." Atari's recall is a lesson for us!"

Rodberg agreed: "Shakespeare's famous line, 'Horse, horse, horse loses its company', is just right here! In the Persian campaign, the English king was defeated in this way. ”

The doctor is a little proud: "Details determine success or failure, so more than 20 years ago, my country set up a quality award." And until now, Europe and the United States have not kept up. RB products have become synonymous with quality from shoddy manufacturing!"

Things were very complicated, and it took two days for Lin Yi to sort out his head. Then Taguchi said that Chinese mainland invited him to visit to help establish a quality management system.

This is another signal of the change, but what Lin Yi thinks is that in such a short period of time, he has actually encountered national-level projects in a row. You can't grab people from the five hooligans, so you have no choice but to obediently send the doctor on the plane.

As for the successor, of course, the director of the management center. After half a year, the research and development of the Walkman finally completed the project acceptance. The operation of the new product is entrusted to Julie. So Xiao Daiming's side was naturally freed from his hands.

This middle-aged man was in high spirits at this time: "Quality expert Kenichi Taguchi, I just graduated from my bachelor's degree, and he has already become famous." This time we are in the Lion City, and there is a lot of exchange, so I will definitely have no problem taking over. ”

For his confidants, Lin Yi did not hesitate to praise: "Last year's red and white machine, this year's Walkman, two major projects in a row, you are also a world-class expert." However, Taguchi is a quality management expert, and you are a project management expert. ”

Xiao Daiming said he would do it, and soon set up a management committee. All departments of Paradise and all cooperative enterprises have sent their counterparts to participate in this quality reform.

However, in the first meeting, the bosses discussed quarrels, sometimes lively and sometimes fierce.

"Last year's huge R&D investment has achieved fruitful returns, so we have no objection to reform." But it will take some time to fully recoup the cost, so isn't it too early to change?"

There are a lot of calculations: "But the machine has not been depreciated, and it is a bit of a waste to change it immediately." Moreover, the new process and new method will definitely have to retrain the staff, which is not a small expense. ”

There is also a small rich that is: "The United States and Japan, the share of red and white machines, is already the first in the market." The fruit in the stomach has not been digested yet, so it will definitely hurt my stomach if I run like this!"

Lin Yi had expected the opposition, so he was not angry. Old-fashioned large companies, with vertical management, orders must be executed. But collaboration between enterprises can only persuade but not command. Somewhat similar to a parliament, discussion run-in is a must.

Fortunately, after several days of discussion, there was finally a result. 16,000 recommendations, divided into 13 categories and 57 sub-items. To avoid resistance, take a step-by-step approach to change. When one reform bears fruit, it will move on to the next.

Xiao Daiming pointed out the final goal: "This 552 project will reduce the cost by 50%, the defective rate by 50%, and the productivity by 20% within one year." ”

Lin Yi's kingly demeanor came up to stand for the general: "In the past two years, the growth rate of the four Asian tigers has exceeded 10%. After you save and increase efficiency, invest your funds elsewhere and earn at least 1.8 million more every year!"

Even if there is no childcare this time, all parties are still moving quickly. Moreover, as the 'invisible richest man', Lin Yi's influence is getting heavier. Until you lose, you don't vote with your feet.

At the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Brother Zhao asked for tea again: "These cooperative factories all have a request for heaven." As long as you are tough, they will agree, even without my help. Why did you compromise in the end?"

For this eldest brother, Lin Yi did not hide it, and directly gave him the truth: "Forcibly apportion tasks, Yang Fengyin will inevitably violate it." More importantly, it will be seen over time. I'm going to look at companies that have a culture that believes in progress. Only such a company can become a strategic partner of Paradise. ”

Lao Zhao suddenly realized: "No wonder Director Xiao said that there is no end to improvement, this is a journey, not a goal." It turns out that you not only have to do the 552 project, but also screen lifelong friends!"

Lin Yi suddenly remembered something: "Vietnam and Cambodia, I heard that the relationship has deteriorated sharply?"

"yes, maybe there's going to be a fight. It doesn't matter if they conflict, but it hurts the Chinese children of the two countries. Most of the Chinese are wealthy, and they are not popular with both countries. China supports Cambodia, and the Chinese in Vietnam have a harder time. If you want to apply for exit, you need 1.2 kilograms of gold per person. ”

By the way, I set up the Dayu Charity Foundation in Hong Kong, and the supervisor is one of my elders. If Brother Zhao is in need, he doesn't need to go over in person, just call to solicit donations. ”

The other party toasted another cup of tea: "My brother is really anxious for justice and righteousness! For several years in a row, the amount of donations raised has been in the forefront." If you persist, you are the honorary president. ”
