Chapter Eighty-Seven: Orders Soar
Wu Hua and Zhou Houming came to the factory, and Zhou Changde was already waiting for them in the office at this moment.
The two walked into the office, Zhou Changde was looking down to check the bill of goods, heard the sound, looked up and saw that it was Wu Hua, so he put down his work and said hello to Wu Hua.
"Xiaohua is here."
Zhou Houming was like a young master who had nothing to do, as soon as he entered the office, he sat on the sofa, lay down, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
I played so crazy a few days before school started, and I basically didn't sleep well.
"Is something wrong, Brother Zhou?" Wu Hua walked over a little eagerly, he thought there was something wrong in the factory.
Zhou Changde smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that the number of orders has risen, and the workers can't catch up with it, so I want to ask you what you can do."
After listening to Zhou Changde's words, Wu Hua made up his mind, Zhou Houming was really right, and he didn't ask clearly, so he worried about it all the way over.
"How many orders are there now?" Wu Hua asked.
Zhou Changde picked up the order again, looked at the total number, and then said with some hesitation: "In addition to the first batch ordered before, there are more than 3,200 orders received today, and I am worried about how to catch up."
Zhou Changde's face was worried.
Wu Hua stepped forward, picked up the order form registered by Zhou Changde, and looked at it in detail.
More than 3,200 orders were made by previous acquaintances, and the number of garments was unequal, but the delivery date was delivered by next Tuesday.
Today is Friday, there are still 4 days until Tuesday, 3,200 pieces, a little too rushed, Wu Hua also frowned.
"I have told the merchant to try to deliver the goods as early as possible, but there are only 200 workers in the factory, and no matter how urgent I am, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with next Tuesday." Zhou Changde had no clue, so he thought about finding Wu Hua to come over and discuss countermeasures.
Regarding this situation, Wu Hua didn't know how to solve it for a while.
It was previously estimated that there are 200 workers in the factory, and each person completes 3 pieces a day on average, and only 600 pieces a day, and these more than 3,000 orders will take at least 5 days to complete. It's Friday now, not to mention that the first batch of goods is still a little unfinished, and it will definitely be too late for only four days.
Wu Hua has a headache, the production efficiency of Baoli Garment Factory is still at the pure manual production of the primary level, and now even if it is the introduction of high-end equipment to catch up, I am afraid it will not work. Not to mention that high-end equipment is expensive, there are only a few days left, and it may be too late to introduce equipment.
How can this be?
Zhou Changde saw Wu Hua's frowns, and knew that Wu Hua had no available countermeasures, so he suddenly became anxious. This garment factory has just made some improvement, but it is stuck in the efficiency of workers, does his garment factory have no chance to turn over in this life?
Zhou Changde sighed deeply.
"It seems that we can only push off some orders." Zhou Changde was in a low mood, but he couldn't do anything.
Wu Hua did not speak, but fell into deep thought.
Workers can independently complete 3 jackets per day, and the production capacity is up to 600 pieces per day, which is still a gap from the total number of goods. However, the order must not be pushed off, otherwise it will directly affect the sales of the garment factory in the later stage. But how can you increase production efficiency without compromising on garment quality?
Wu Hua pondered, not knowing where to find a breakthrough.
Liu Mei returned to the office from the workshop and saw that the two bosses were here, so she stepped forward and made a report directly.
"Boss, the first batch of color-changing jackets has been sealed and shipped, and now it has entered the second batch of clothing production, the second batch of clothing is also 1,000 pieces, and the bottom line at the dark lines of the cuffs is blue."
Although it was just a few words, Liu Mei looked at the report and reported, at this critical moment when the storm was coming, Liu Mei didn't want to make a mistake in any link and hurt her position.
Zhou Changde listened to Liu Mei's report, nodded heavily, and then remembered the problem of rushing the goods, so he sighed and said to Liu Mei: "Notify the last customer who placed an order today, just say that our batch of goods is full, and let the customer wait for the next batch to order."
Boss Zhou, is this going to return the order?
Liu Mei looked at Zhou Changde with some surprise, suspecting that she had heard it wrong.
"Boss, this ...... Are you sure? Once you unsubscribe, it means that we may lose a customer, have you thought about it? Liu Mei asked in confusion.
Zhou Changde listened to Liu Mei's words, and his heart was even more uncomfortable. took a deep look at Liu Mei, and said angrily: "Do you think I want to retreat?" If the delivery is not enough, it is necessary to compensate for breach of contract, and it is better not to do it if it is not done. ”
Indeed, once the contract comes into effect, there are many legal liabilities.
Liu Mei regretted that she had asked such a stupid question, but the words had been spoken, and there was no chance of recovery, so Liu Mei could only obediently follow the boss's wishes.
"Okay, then I'll fight." Liu Mei said, walked past the desk, picked up the phone and prepared to call.
"Wait a minute." Wu Hua raised his hand and held down the phone, but Liu Mei did not call successfully.
Zhou Changde and Liu Mei looked at Wu Hua, thinking that he had something to do, and they all looked at Wu Hua expectantly, hoping that he had come up with a solution. Because in their opinion, all problems are not problems after encountering Wu Hua.
In fact, Wu Hua did think of some solutions, but when he looked at Zhou Changde and Liu Mei's expectant eyes, he suddenly had the idea of teasing the two of them.
Wu Hua let go of the hand that was pressing the phone, straightened his clothes, coughed lightly, and said as if he was nothing: "I just want to remind Liu Design that it's time to get off work, and I have to say everything tomorrow."
Liu Mei was stunned, looked up at the clock on the wall, indeed, it was past five o'clock, and the sellers estimated that they had already left work.
Liu Mei was helpless, so she could only put down the phone with a sad face. was secretly disappointed in his heart, thinking that Wu Hua had thought of some way, but as a result, alas, there was still no way.
"Then let's fight again tomorrow." Zhou Changde was also worried, but there was no way.
Wu Hua looked at the two of them frowning, and he also felt funny, he was going to tease them again, but he remembered that time was pressing, so forget it.
Wu Hua cleared his throat and said loudly, "It's not that there is no way. ”
Zhou Changde and Liu Mei listened to Wu Hua's words, and immediately came to their senses, looked at Wu Hua eagerly, and asked in unison, "What way?"
Wu Hua was not ready to sell Guanzi, looked at the two of them and said directly: "We now have 200 workers, except for the final garment ironing, basically every worker is familiar with every process and can complete all the operations independently." If you want to be more productive, I think you can group them into groups. ”
Zhou Changde and Liu Mei listened very carefully, Wu Hua saw that they had no objections, so he continued: "The garment production process is nothing more than the four parts of pattern making, cloth cutting, manual embroidery, and jointing, we can divide the existing workers into 4 groups, each group of 50 people, division of labor and cooperation, each group completes a part, from the simplest operation to the final garment joint, and can also let the workers who complete the work first to help the later work, which greatly improves the production efficiency."
Zhou Changde listened to Wu Hua's words and fell into deep thought.
He really couldn't understand why Wu Hua had to divide several people to complete the work that could be done by one person, wouldn't that increase the workload?
Wu Hua saw that Zhou Changde was a little confused, so he said: "On the surface, it is to increase the workload, but in fact, it is to make them better divide labor and cooperate."
Zhou Changde was a little confused, he understood the division of labor and cooperation, but although this convenience was feasible, once it was implemented, it would become complicated. Workers make jackets are billed by the piece, if the same person does not complete a jacket, then how do workers calculate wages?
Zhou Changde thought so, so he asked.
Wu Hua understands Zhou Changde's worries, but he has also considered that each person can produce 3 pieces of clothing a day, but two people may work together for more than 6 pieces. Because of the same production, some people are fast and some people are slow, and letting the person who is faster in production be in charge of the fast department is equivalent to choosing the best one and maximizing all the efficiency.
Listening to Wu Hua's explanation, Liu Mei felt that it made sense, but she still didn't understand it, everyone did the work together, so how should the salary be divided?
Liu Mei's doubts are actually Zhou Changde's doubts, everyone can't pay the same salary.
Listening to Zhou Changde's concerns, Wu Hua just smiled and said, "If Brother Zhou is so generous, the workers will definitely have no opinion."
Zhou Changde was even more puzzled when he heard it, and he was confused about what Wu Hua said.
"Then how to operate, you tell me, don't let me guess, I'm in a hurry." Zhou Changde is really anxious.
"We set a total amount for the four teams, charge according to the amount, and set a teamwork award for them, and the teams that meet the standards on time can get a corresponding bonus for each group, which can definitely improve the cooperation rate between them."
Zhou Changde listened to Wu Hua's analysis and explanation, and also had a consideration in his heart. In any case, according to the previous speed, it will definitely not be able to be completed, it is better to try Wu Hua's new method, maybe a miracle will happen.
"Okay, just do as you say, Liu Mei, you go and arrange it." Zhou Changde seemed to have made up his mind and decided to give it a go.
"Okay boss." Liu Mei was so happy that she almost applauded.
This little boss is really powerful, every time it is a critical moment to save the world, oh no, it saves them.
Wu Hua saw that Liu Mei was about to go out, so he followed her steps and said, "I'll go with you." ”
Liu Mei looked at Wu Hua coming with her, a little flustered, and then suddenly thought of the rule that the boss came first, quickly made way for Wu Hua, and walked out with Wu Hua's steps.
Zhou Changde looked at the backs of Wu Hua and Liu Mei, took a deep breath, and finally relaxed.
Then I saw my son sleeping on the sofa, and I had a headache, if my son could be half as sensible as Wu Hua, how good would it be, and I wouldn't have to worry so much.
