1191 Don't take automation seriously (2)
"Okay, the food is here, let's eat first, and after dinner, let's go." It's a working meal at noon today, so don't drink. Yun Fei's words made Wang Qingfeng, who was just about to let the waiter serve wine, depressed.
Without drinking, the meal was naturally eaten very quickly, and in less than half an hour, everyone left the hotel.
Everyone understands Yun Fei's style of doing things, and no one asks for a break after dinner or anything. Directly got into the business car arranged by Wang Qingfeng, and in the car, Wang Qingfeng began to briefly introduce the situation of the plastic products factory.
"Xin Kaixing plastic products factory, the main is to produce a variety of large quantities of plastic products, only large quantities of products, will effectively reduce the cost of molds. Due to the large number of small parts, the production speed is only a few tens of seconds, or even less than ten seconds. This makes it impossible for one worker to take care of too much equipment. If we can change these most basic actions to automation like the blanking workshop of a heat sink factory, our costs will be reduced a lot. This is what Wang Qingfeng is most entangled with at present.
On the side of the plastic products factory, many products cannot be allowed to be molded just now, and the parts that have not been completely cooled will fall off automatically, and the slightly larger products must be picked up by workers to ensure the quality of these parts. For example, the fan used in the heat sink on the computer has to be divided into several molds to produce several parts, and then assemble them, especially those blades and the like, and the production time of each piece is only 26 seconds, which is plus the operation time of workers. Skilled workers can make this time into less than 22 seconds, but there is no way to maintain this speed for a long time, and workers with slower hands and feet can even make this production time higher than 34 seconds, which is all counted.
Once it can be transformed into automated production, it is completely possible to make the production time enter less than 20 seconds, and the production will continue 24 hours a year. In this way, Xinkaixing can free up at least one-third of the injection molding machine to produce other products, and the labor cost will be reduced to the greatest extent.
After all, when a worker is working, it is impossible to work in the best condition for twelve hours a day, 26 seconds, which is just an average time, which is the average production time without leaving the time for workers to eat, go to the toilet and rest.
In order to minimize labor costs and stimulate the enthusiasm of workers, piecework wages are also graded. The more over-production. Piecework wages are definitely more. The amount of work stipulated by the factory is basically not profitable.
This kind of system is not only practiced by Xinkaixing company, but also by almost all factories along the coast. Anyway, they all treat these ordinary workers as machine people and squeeze their labor force fiercely.
"The factory has a total of four production workshops, all of which work in different areas according to different products and different equipment, and the division of labor is very fine, handling and adding. Operators, quality inspection, molds, etc. are all strictly divided ......"
It is less than an hour from the hotel to the industrial area where the factory is located. Wang Qingfeng basically introduced the situation of the factory.
The plastic products factory does not need much stronger technology than any other factory, and the most complex mold is handed over to the mold factory of Xinkaixing, and the equipment maintenance is relatively technical, but most of these equipment are new equipment bought from abroad. A small one costs tens of thousands of dollars, and it is not easy to have problems. It is easier to install and debug the mold, after all, many products are produced on a long-term scale. After the mold is replaced, it is likely that the mold will not be moved for several months, unless it is broken and needs to be repaired......
In recent years, in the Pearl River Delta, especially Huadu, the special zone, which are the earliest cities to develop, almost all the places that can be seen around the city are industrial zones. Fortunately, this is only a light industry, otherwise, there are chemical factories around Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is estimated that there are no fish and shrimp in the river in this place.
The plastic products factory of Xinkaixing is not far from the Xinkaixing precision machinery processing factory, which is the headquarters. At present, the Huadu Municipal Government is considering building a special industrial park for Xinkaixing, so that Xinkaixing can leave more industries here, and Wang Qingfeng has been struggling with this matter.
Because the land in the industrial zone where Xinkaixing is located cannot support the expansion of Xinkaixing, mechanical processing is not like an electronics factory, and many heavy machinery and equipment cannot be placed on the upper floor, after all, there is no way to prevent the equipment from vibrating upstairs, and it is impossible to bear too much weight. As a result, the expansion of Hin Kai Hing needs to be supported by large-scale land. During this time, there was a lot of rumors about Wang Qingfeng's land speculation on the rivers and lakes, and the Huadu Municipal Government did not dare to give Xin Kaixing too much land.
If the land cannot be given, many factories in Xinkaixing have to be relocated......
The Huadu Municipal Government is currently preparing for the government to fund the construction of a Xinkaixing Industrial Park, which is used to put all the industries of Xinkaixing into it, Xinkaixing does not need to build a factory, only needs to pay rent every year, and operates according to their operation mode in other places, so that they will not be accused of eating the benefits given by Wang Qingfeng, and grant him land without principle, so that he can speculate on the price of land in Huadu.
"The injection molding machines in this workshop are small injection molding machines with an injection volume of 30-80 cubic centimeters, there are a total of 233 units in the whole workshop, Taiwan, Japan, and domestic ones, the production efficiency is not the same, and the mold warehouse next to it is also the largest, with a total of thousands of small molds for different products...... "Injection molding machines are different from mechanical processing equipment, and many small equipment here are placed upstairs, only those large injection molding machines are placed on the first floor. After all, there is not only an operator in the plastic products factory, but also a warehouse and others.
"Chen Gong, why don't I ask someone to take you around the entire workshop first?" Wang Qingfeng saw that Chen Mingli began to write around a lot as soon as she entered the workshop, holding a notebook and pen in her hand. He didn't know much about the situation of these factories, and he couldn't introduce them in too much detail.
Yun Fei was also constantly frowning on the side, as if he had found a lot of problems as soon as he came in.
"Mr. Wang, don't bother, we can just watch it ourselves." Chen Mingli rejected Wang Qingfeng's proposal, many things, only by looking at oneself can we find problems, which places can be automated, and which places must be manually operated to save costs, all of which have to be evaluated by guò on the operation of workers.
The design concept of Jiuyi Research Institute is to achieve the highest benefit with the lowest cost.
Even now, it is only a preliminary idea, and when they have a rough plan, more statistical surveys will be conducted.
The main purpose of automation is to replace the simple and repetitive actions of workers with mechanical automatic devices. All the movements used by these automated machines are simulated and optimized to the maximum extent possible, so that the cost can be minimized. Who can design it without a detailed understanding?
"Okay, Lao Chen, you can take them by yourself, and if we are not in the workshop after a while, we will go to the factory director's office." Yun Feizhi knows this, and Xin Kaixing may need to carry out another comprehensive rectification.
Wang Qingfeng did not inform the factory that they were going to come to inspect the factory, and they did not find the factory director in advance, after all, the car belonged to the company's headquarters, so there was naturally no obstacle to coming in. As soon as he arrived at the factory, Yun Fei found a lot of problems.
"Lao Wang, who is in charge of this factory? The people recruited outside are still promoted from the old factory in Xinkaixing? After Chen Mingli and the others left, Yun Fei asked Wang Qingfeng.
Wang Qingfeng heard that there was something wrong with Yun Fei's words, and asked suspiciously: "Except for technicians, most of the management in our Xin Kaixing is promoted from within the company." The director of this factory is called Tang Jing, who turned out to be a girl in the production department of Xinkaixing. What's wrong? ”
"From the production department?" Yun Fei frowned, "People from the production department should not have such a situation. Lao Wang, didn't you notice that the situation here is a bit abnormal? ”
"It's normal. What's wrong with it? Wang Qingfeng looked around, but didn't find anything abnormal.
"There is already a lot of equipment in this, so many people are needed in one class? Don't you think this workshop is very messy? Yun Fei was a little speechless, the injection molding factory is not like a mechanical processing factory, it could have been very neat. In terms of neatness, there is naturally nothing wrong with it, but Yun Fei still feels that it is too chaotic inside, mainly because there are too many people in it.
The crowding, crowding, and constant movement naturally give people a sense of chaos.
"Why don't you ask Tang Jing about the situation? I don't know any of these things. Don't you say that I haven't noticed it, what you said, it seems that there are really a lot of people on the job......" Wang Qingfeng heard Yun Fei say this, and really found that many people were not at work. It stands to reason that in addition to the QC of the inspection, the shift leader of the top post, the technician and the worker who fills the material bin of the injection molding machine, the operator should not be on the job.
The reason why it can be seen at once is that different jobs in Xinkaixing have different colors of work clothes.
"Just ask." Yun Fei nodded.
At this time, he is no longer the same person as before, if he found such a situation before, he would naturally stop the production of the whole workshop and lecture the workers.
Wang Qingfeng is familiar with all the factory directors, if Tang Jing is not capable, it is impossible to be brought here to be the factory director. (To be continued......)
