Chapter 3
When he first joined the Taiwan-Shanghai company, Wang Yiyuan made a request to Manager Ding of the business department and took the initiative to go to the production workshop for internship for half a month.
According to company practice, every new salesperson will have the experience of internship in the production workshop first, but the time is basically not long, usually about a week.
Manager Ding didn't understand Wang Yiyuan's request to leave the workshop for so long, and he thought his idea was a bit special, but when he thought about 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 "one with thousands of people" has certain rules and universality, and its basic production operations, operating processes and management methods are still in common.
Wang Yiyuan had even planned his internship plan for himself, and he was planning to divide the entire internship into two sections.
First, you will be familiar with the printing production facilities and equipment and their general uses and uses in about ten days. If allowed, it is best to be able to operate directly on the machine; then the next five days will be familiar with the entire printing and production process, as well as familiar with the auxiliary procedures such as proofing, designing, production, packaging and delivery.
Although the fifteen-day period is a bit compact, many things are unlikely to be very in-depth, and maybe they will be just like glimpses, or they may only be exposed to some fur. But Wang Yiyuan has another preparation, which is to try to contact the workshop managers and workers and learn from them more.
Based on Wang Yiyuan's past experience, the production workshop is a place where talented people emerge. As a newcomer, the things you really want to learn are basically in the hands of these so-called masters. If you don't deal with them in depth, you will definitely not be able to master the truly first-hand, detailed information and gains, at least some production technical tips, experiences and lessons, etc., which will be greatly reduced.
Xiao Yunhua, the student manager, led Wang Yiyuan, first passed through the factory warehouse front desk and delivery area, then passed through a thick door, changed into work clothes, put on a work hat, and then passed through a thick door, and finally arrived at the real production workshop of the Taiwan-Shanghai Company.
Like most Taiwanese-funded enterprises, the production workshops of Taiwan and Shanghai companies implement strict enterprise lean management and 6s management. 6s management originated in Japan and has now become the basic management method for all Japanese companies. Taiwanese companies highly respect this management method and quickly copied it and used it for their own use.
Originally, as a printing factory in the manufacturing industry, some problems such as the flying of paper confetti, the noise of machines, and the mixed glue-flavored ink-flavored air, etc., are inevitable.
But as soon as he stepped into the workshop, what he saw and knew immediately subverted his previous inherent impression. His most intuitive first feeling was that it is not without reason that companies like Taiwan and Shanghai can become stronger and bigger.
First of all, 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.
When I entered the workshop, I saw a clean and neat environment and well-organized working procedures. After seeing the advanced machines and assembly lines, the skilled operation level of the workers, and the orderly management of the work site, I could fully feel the modern strength of the Taiwan and Shanghai company.
The second is the on-site management and efficiency of the factory. The placement of the items in the workshop is neat and orderly, and they are based on the principle of the shortest time to take. All operations have strict standard processes. Unlike the printing companies I remember, the printing environment is full of randomness and is typically dirty and messy.
During the lunch break, every worker will consciously organize his area in an orderly manner and keep it clean. The workshop operators have strict quality control and all printed items must be inspected specifically. Xiao Yunhua said that there are some work, customers have high requirements and no flaws are allowed, especially the instructions for medicines and food.
The third is the planning and layout of the operation process and nodes, especially reflected in the design of the core printing press operating room. Different from other industry companies, if you want to print high-quality finished products, the environment in which the printing press is located is very important.
In order to ensure a good environment in the workshop, the entire workshop has achieved constant temperature and humidity. Exhaust devices and humidifiers are also installed in the workshop, and the lighting lamps are also specially designed according to the position of the printing press.
Xiao Yunhua told Wang Yiyuan that the printers in the workshop here organize, sort out and clean anytime, anywhere. This is one of the basic tasks of printing operators, so the printing presses in the factory are very well maintained.
He also said that the company has two Hamada printers that have been in the company for more than ten years. Due to their good maintenance, the machine looks like new, so that the quality of the printing products can be well guaranteed.
Wang Yiyuan is familiar with lean management and 6S management. He has personally practiced and implemented the factory in Ningbo.
But he felt that compared with the current Taiwan-Shanghai companies, the obvious gap was still quite large. So Wang Yiyuan devoted himself more to this rare practice and learning.
After half a month, Wang Yiyuan had a direct impression and experience of the printing factory's various production equipment and production processes, from design, plate making, printing, binding, packaging to logistics, and basically mastered the professional terms and industry languages related to printing.
After this period of observation, learning and comparison, Wang Yiyuan believes that compared with his previous work units, the gap between the two companies is mainly reflected in the production managers, especially the professional literacy of production managers is very important, and the management literacy of business owners is even 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 production management of the 6S model of Ningbo factory, and put forward some of his own ideas on the system construction of the production management of the workshop of the Taiwan-Shanghai company, the rationality of production organization and coordination arrangement, the connection of production processes, the current problems and solutions in the workshop, and formed a written suggestion of more than 5,000 words, and reported it to Manager Sun Yuquan, who was in charge of production and Manager Ding of his own department business department.
At that time, Taiwanese companies entered the mainland to invest and build factories. Out of careful consideration, they generally had professional evaluations 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 insurance enough. At the same time, they will hire a mainlander with certain social relations in the investment location to serve as the company manager to help deal with the relationship between Taiwanese-funded companies in all aspects of the mainland. This manager has relatively transcendent responsibilities and status, but generally does not have any substantive rights within the company.
But this manager Sun Yuquan is an exception.
This old man in his sixties is always dressed neatly, his head is refreshing, his gray hair is combed in a slight mess, and he always stands up his chest and looks up at all times. He just likes to drink some wine occasionally. First, he is born and raised in Gu Genglang's group in Guanghua Village, locally. Second, before he retired, he was the deputy director of the production of Shanghai Printing Factory No. 2. He has rich experience in printing production management. In addition, he himself thinks he is in good health and can work for a while. So the company also lets him take on the actual position of production management of Taiwan and Shanghai Company, and his responsibilities and powers are equivalent to those of the factory manager.
Manager Sun didn't pay much attention to Wang Yiyuan's internship in the production workshop at the beginning, and felt that it was just another routine internship.
After he read Wang Yiyuan's suggestion report repeatedly, he felt that it was not only written in a practical way, but also very profound and sincere way, and he looked at Wang Yiyuan differently. Although he was in charge of production, he did not avoid weaknesses and protected his shortcomings, but instead presented the report directly to the company's general manager Xiao Jingdong.
Mr. Xiao looked at it carefully from beginning to end, and he also thought the report was very good. He wrote a sentence on the first page of the report, very good.
Manager Sun is an old man who knows how to discover, appreciate and cherish talent. He thinks that Wang Yiyuan is likely to be a talent in production management. He even had the idea of bringing Wang Yiyuan into a production management position, but was stopped by Mr. Xiao.
At that time, Xiao always said that Xiao Wang seems to have two tricks. Isn’t he applying for a job? Then let him do business first. If it really doesn’t work, he will go back to the factory. It will not be too late to do business again. Of course, Wang Yiyuan cannot know about these.
Manager Sun attached great importance to the suggestions reported by the boss. He invited Wang Yiyuan and convened all the staff of the factory to hold an on-site meeting. He conducted a detailed analysis of the suggestions and existing problems in the report, reviewed them one by one, and further improved and improved them in actual work.
He also took the lead in the special handling of special affairs of the production department. With the approval of the general manager, he specially awarded Wang Yiyuan the company's production star that month, with a reward of 500 yuan.
But in this way, Manager Ding of the company's business department was unable to get out of the market, and the employees of the business department were actually awarded the highest reward by the production department, which is no precedent in the company.
He thought secretly, especially Wang Yiyuan, who had just arrived at the company, was so popular. What was going on? But he had no other way, so he had to go astray and select Wang Yiyuan as the business star of the month, but the bonus was discounted, and it was reduced from 500 yuan to 300 yuan.
As the saying goes, big companies are good at work, small companies do things. Wang Yiyuan didn't expect the result to become like this.
When he originally wrote this suggestion report, in addition to the temporary itchyness, he mainly wanted to summarize his work during his internship in the factory. The report was sent privately, and he never expected it to be made public. In order to avoid suspicion from the department, he also gave Manager Ding a copy.
As a result of Business Star, when the business scheduling meeting was announced at the business scheduling meeting on Saturday afternoon at the end of the month, Wang Yiyuan, a salesperson who had not yet started a one-cent business, was still teased by other salesmen. Fortunately, because Wang Yiyuan was a newcomer, everyone had no malicious intentions towards him.
Of course, because of this report, Wang Yiyuan not only gained substantial benefits and received a bonus of 800 yuan, but also established relationships with all kinds of people in the company's production department. In this way, it was almost a joke, and inadvertently narrowed the distance with other salesmen, allowing the group that was already competitors to accept him easily, allowing Wang Yiyuan to integrate into the company's business department family faster.
