Chapter 649: Splitting
"Then we should expand production capacity, and at least ensure that the two sides can develop in a balanced way while there is still energy at the moment." Cheng Zhijie said unexpectedly.
Parts production capacity is not enough, does this need to be said? Of course, it's to expand production capacity.
Who says trucks are only useful for engineering? It's more useful in the army, right?
Cheng Zhijie has seen this for a long time, and many people have also seen it, where is the biggest benefit of the planned economy?
In any product, his cost is only one labor, perhaps in addition to an upfront plant equipment investment, but this is a one-time thing.
All the products do not need to pay extra money, the imperial court ordered, factory production, such as trucks, each one, the imperial court only needs to pay six hundred yuan, this is now the output is up, if it is still like before, the court needs to pay more money.
This money is paid to the machinery factory, and then the machinery factory distributes funds to several branches, and after getting the funds, the branches distribute them to the supply units.
For every part provided, how much money is given, this is a dead number, and no one can avoid it, but no matter how it is calculated, this money is enough to pay the wages of the workers.
Of course, the higher the output, the more profitable the factory is, even in the current model, producing 100 units a day will definitely make 20 more money than producing 80 units.
"Zhijie is right, the top priority at the moment should be to expand production capacity immediately." Fang Xuanling also rarely stood up in support: "The machinery factory has proved one thing to us through a month, this model is feasible, the requirements for workers are not high, and at the same time, the production speed can be increased to the fastest." Moreover, the speed of the workers' mastery of skills is far beyond our imagination, so the minister's suggestion is that the assembly plant should be at least doubled, and the rest of the branches, depending on the situation, should be expanded, in short, the supply of parts and components should be equal to the output of the final assembly, or in other words, the output of parts and components should exceed the speed of the final assembly. ”
The reason is very simple, the production speed of accessories is the same as the final assembly speed, so what should I do if some cars are broken and need to replace parts? Is it just to produce one and use one?
This kind of thing, there is always more to produce more spare, but it can't be blindly produced, and the specific needs to be explored, but it is inevitable to come to this point in the end.
"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea." Li Daozong, who had not spoken, also spoke.
As the middle of Yongzhou governance, the machinery factory is an enterprise jointly opened by the Yongzhou government and the imperial court, and he naturally has the right to speak.
But in the same way, as the governor of Yongzhou, his eyes can't just be on the land of Chang'an, there is still a large area in Yongzhou, and he can't just think about Yongzhou and not think about other places, right?
Recently, with the increase in the production capacity of the machinery factory, Li Daozong has become more and more troubled.
Today, when it happened to talk about the expansion of production, Li Daozong had an idea and came up with a feasible way.
"You might as well split the machine factory!"
"Split?"
"What's the split?" Li Yuanji hesitated, this idea is still a bit reliable, because this method is not new to him.
"Chang'an only retains two assembly plants, and its scale to expand, the current parts factory, only the production of manufacturing technical difficulties of the main components, such as steering wheels, seats and other parts that have little impact on the overall vehicle, can be dispersed to the counties around Chang'an to produce, and then use trucks to transport these produced parts to Chang'an for final assembly, and each plant is only responsible for a few components, which is more conducive to quality control, but also can better improve efficiency." Li Daozong said.
"Doesn't this increase the cost?" Cheng Zhijie snorted, if they can produce together, why should they be separated?
Even if you build a new plant or something, you also need to expand production, but in this way, it is clear that one truck can complete the transportation task between several factories, but now it takes ten trucks to complete.
Even if the truck runs fast, it will take half a day, back and forth, and the day will be gone, and the time does not cost money? Or do you not need money to burn coal? Or do truck drivers not get paid?
"That's not how the cost is calculated, on paper, the cost will indeed increase, but if the output increases, the extra cost can still be made up. More importantly, the machinery factory represents the imperial court, is the Yongzhou Mansion, if the parts factory is located in other counties, it is also a harvest in the hearts of the people, will let more people know that the imperial court has not forgotten them, and provide jobs for more places, which is also something that the imperial court is working on. Ma Zhou shook his head.
Both have their own benefits, and a single one does have benefits in terms of cost.
But from the point of view of the Ministry of Development, it is clear that the benefits of spreading it out are even greater.
A branch factory does not have a big impact in Chang'an or not, and even if it increases income, it is limited.
But in a small county, the difference is that a large factory with thousands of people can bring more than meets the eye, which means that every family in the area can guarantee that one person has a permanent job.
While driving regional economic development, it can also better stabilize people's hearts, so Ma Zhou supports this proposal.
And this time there is mainly no experience, if there is experience, a comprehensive layout has been done as early as the beginning, and it will not wait until now.
Li Yuanji is no stranger to this model, and it is simply a bad street model in later generations.
Before the reform and opening up, most of them were scattered, and the scale of a factory was also very large, almost a one-stop model, but this also led to the upgrading of products has become the biggest problem.
Later, in order to save costs, many upstream players chose OEM factories to be responsible for the creation of some parts, because of focus, so high efficiency, because of high efficiency, so the average cost is lower, because the average cost is low, so the final total price and profit, in the market has more room for operation.
Because those processing is only downstream manufacturers, in order to ensure their own interests, so it is necessary to ensure the pass rate of components, unqualified, people will not receive, this can only be smashed in their own hands, the failure rate is high, people will change manufacturers, so that your line will be broken.
Therefore, in later generations, such a situation has been formed, the upstream is responsible for the next task, and the downstream manufacturers are constantly updating their own production technology and improving their own production technology, so as to achieve better results and obtain more orders.
In the era of planned economy, this trick is not very suitable, because no matter what the quality is, it is its own brother unit, and even if there is an opinion, it is impossible to change the manufacturer.
There are advantages and disadvantages, but in Li Yuanji's view, it is completely possible to do it.
"Wannian, Xianyang, Xinfeng, Gaoling, and Yunyang counties each have a branch factory, and you can see the specific arrangements." Li Yuanji ordered directly.
The current factory is located in Chang'an County, and Chang'an County, the same status of Wannian County, but nothing has fallen, this is indeed something that needs to be taken care of, and the governance of the two counties is in Chang'an City, but one east and one west, there are large areas of land outside the city.
In addition to Yunyang, several other places can be reached within half a day, which is not far away, and if you produce parts alone, you can also keep up with the use.
As for Yunyang, Li Yuanji has been there, and the economic situation is really difficult to raise his head, and if he doesn't think of a way, the whole county will become a reserved place for the lonely and widowed elderly, and setting up the factory there is also conducive to attracting young people back.
It's not to restrict the flow of people, but under the current situation, Chang'an's population is basically saturated, although it can still be loaded, but the supply and demand of the entire city are very difficult. This will waste a lot of energy and resources, and Chang'an will not be able to provide more jobs for them for the time being.
Li Daozong was overjoyed, and he was divided into five branches at once, even if each branch factory only has 1,000 people, that is 5,000 jobs, and the other is that the production capacity of the machinery factory will definitely be greatly improved, which is the most important thing.
As for the truck, I'm sorry, this Li Daozong really doesn't think there's anything wrong.
After all, that's what machine factories do, and each factory allocates two trucks for transportation, isn't that difficult?
Well, after the new car rolls off the assembly line, it must be tried, right? Even if a car runs for a day, it is completely enough.
More importantly, there are more jobs, and the branches are more even, although there are still many places that have not been allocated, but Li Daozong can give the cement factories that were originally planned to be allocated to these counties to other counties.
Coming and going, this time the entire Yongzhou will add at least 15,000 jobs, although there are still many gaps, but everything must come step by step, one bite can't make a fat man, right?
Moreover, the Academy of Sciences is currently sorting out the technologies that can be released, although it has not yet been sorted out, but Li Daozong, as a sect, has no problem going through the back door and going to see the quantity, right?
At present, the number that can be released has exceeded a hundred technologies, and there are many more to come.
"Your Majesty, you might as well release the plough and grader as well, so that the agricultural machinery side can concentrate on the production of tractors, and the number of workers needed by these two factories is not much, mainly due to seasonal restrictions." Ma Zhou followed suit.
"Yes! On the premise of ensuring quality and yield, we will benefit as many people in the region as possible. Li Yuanji nodded in agreement, this is really nothing to refuse.
Although it is seasonal, it can't stand the huge demand, even if it is producing all year round, in the face of the entire Datang, let alone one factory, even ten factories are not enough.
Moreover, agricultural machinery, which is a profitable unit, is not the same as the rigid demand of trucks.
