Chapter 124: Benefit a lot. Visit the workshop to the sculpture

From beginning to end, after I participated in the meeting for more than two hours, I realized that this job was not as simple as I thought before: I received an email from an American company and translated it carefully and accurately, and then conveyed it word by word to the factory, supervise, follow up on their modification process, and then feedback the factory's modification results to the American company. If it is qualified, it will be OK and conduct the next procedure. Otherwise, if it is not qualified, it will start again until it is qualified.

"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, because I haven't been in this mountain." I did take it for granted before. I admit that I took this job a little superficially. Now I think about it, if my position is just a sound tube like this, wouldn't the only standard for recruiting employees be enough to read English? But in this huge Shenzhen, it's more than tens of millions better than ours? So, first of all, this job is very demanding, and secondly, what David likes to me is not English proficiency. In short, the comprehensive ability of one sentence, experience, ability, attitude, etc. is the most important.

Just like the sample of the denim jean just now, the customer was very satisfied with the overall situation, but he only put forward two details on the saddle. At the beginning, Pete also thought that these two points were easy to modify. Is the factory doing something? Why has it been modified twice, but it still does not meet the requirements?

Sun Meiping explained aggrievedly that it was not the meaning, Pete, you misunderstood. In fact, if we want to meet the customer's requirements 100%, we can do it completely. We just need to carefully craft it while proofing, but we can't do that.

Ah? Not only me, but even Peter screamed in surprise and asked quickly, why? What does it mean to be able to do it but not do it?

Manager Qiu said, Peter, that's the case, because if you make a proof exactly according to the standard required by the customer, there will be no problem and there will be no difficult process requirements. If you think about it, it is really simple, just a few samples. I will send a few more people and spend more hours to complete the task. You can leave it to the customer for confirmation and you will be able to pass it. But what I'm afraid of is that if the customer confirms, it will be really troublesome.

Big trouble? We both are even more puzzled. If you have all this product, what big trouble is there? Are you exaggerating? Or are you fooling us with clever words?

Manager Qiu continued, the trouble is to produce large goods, and we can spend a lot of effort to make a few samples, but when we make large goods, it is impossible to do it again. If we really do that, it will take several times more time. Pete, you must know that with so much time, the cost will be different, so we cannot do this.

After listening to the explanation from the shallow to the depth of Director Qiu, we realized that this was the case. No wonder the factory kept hiding and unwilling to change it as required. Who knew that there were so many things involved in this? No wonder even Pete didn't understand it, and even almost got angry.

There is another sample that has been modified five or six times over and over again. I heard that two of them were caused by Pitt's mistakes. In fact, it cannot be said that Pitt's mistakes were conveyed completely according to the meaning of the American company. The mistake was that he was anxious and did not discuss with the supervisors of other departments, so he asked Sun Meiping to modify it directly according to his translation. As a result, it turned out that the design of the American company was unreasonable at all and did not conform to the basic product design principles. It caused losses to others without any loss. Fortunately, Sun Meiping made it through, so it was not involved in Pitt.

So, when Peter asked Sun Meiping to call several other supervisors together during the meeting, I was wondering. We were not connected with factory followers, so why did we find other supervisors? Now it seems that brainstorming is necessary. We discussed and analyzed with Sun Meiping and the supervisors of various departments, and finally came up with a feasible plan to minimize unnecessary steps and solve the problem. Everyone was happy.

If everyone can’t make a decision, we must report it to the manager or boss as soon as possible, and they will communicate with higher-level people from Lindao Company, confirm, and after obtaining the revised plan, we will follow up.

Moreover, I also found that the opinions on the United States are not just golden rules, and are not necessarily feasible. In other words, the revisions and rectification requirements of American colleagues, sometimes, some of them are just theoretical, and some cannot be fulfilled in the actual production process.

This proves the above truth that experience and ability are the most important, and also requires us not to blindly think that the foreign moon must be rounder than our China, and what foreigners say must be correct, but to use their own abilities and experience to distinguish and solve them. This is the kingly way.

Just like the modification opinions brought by me today, some problems can be immediately resulted, such as the bear's face is a little big and needs to be thinner; or the branches are a little too thin and need to be thicker, etc. The factory will arrange them immediately. It won't take long to get the modified samples to confirm.

Pete will make a detailed comparison to decide whether it is acceptable. If he feels that it does not meet the requirements, he will continue to modify it. If he feels that the requirements have been met, he still needs to take a photo, first take a sample of the modification, then take a comparison photo between the modified sample and the previous sample. After returning to the company, he will pass it to the United States and ask them to give the final opinion. Confirm OK, and notify the factory to proceed with the next step. If it is not OK, continue to modify it and then confirm until it is OK.

The most troublesome thing is that some samples cannot be confirmed by photos in the United States whether the modified sample is acceptable. There is no way to take the stupidest method and send the sample. In this way, it is both costly and time-consuming, and the most troublesome thing is that it will pass ten days and half a month. This will inevitably shorten the time for sample development, resulting in the speed of subsequent speed, which will naturally bring other risks. As for us, we need to be motivated and spend twice as much energy to protect the subsequent actions.

For example, after the factory is modified, Pitt will use the panton book (the international standard color card book) to compare. We will determine whether this is acceptable. After checking and comparing, if you think it is OK, it is OK. If it is not OK, let the factory continue to adjust the color and modify it until you are satisfied.

However, this is both your right and your responsibility. You can’t just touch your upper lip and say OK. We need to have a full and in-depth understanding of this product and its fixed color system. The same thing is said, without experience, you cannot control it.

Some colors are indeed more complicated, and we have no way to make a judgment, and we also need to confirm the United States. However, because the photos taken by digital cameras have color differences (the digital cameras at that time were not as high as they are now), what should I do? I have to bring the sample back to Longgang, take photos with the company's professional Canon camera, then take them to the photo studio to wash out the photos, and then send them to the United States for confirmation.

Oh, Pete finally let out a long sigh. He was very tired and said weakly. Finally, he finished his mission today. Sun Meiping, take Arthur to the workshop and tell him about the production process. You will set up a team together in the future. You can’t hide your secrets!

OK, Pete, look at what you said, how could that happen? I happened to go to the sample room, Mr. Tang, let's go! Sun Meiping stood up and picked up a sample of a tree stump on the table.

OK, Miss Sun, let me get it! I quickly reached out to grab the sample, and Sun Meiping hurriedly said, No, no, I will get it.

Just as he was about to raise his foot, Sun Meiping suddenly remembered something and asked, By the way, Pete, did the windmill from the past few days reply to the United States?

Oh, what about none? If you don’t say it, I’ve forgotten it. You haven’t started construction yet?

Yes, if you don’t give a sure letter, how dare we move, especially Mr. Zeng, who is worried that it will be too late to have enough time for the big goods!

OK, I will send another email to ask when I go back today. By the way, Arthur, don’t forget to remind me at that time! After that, Pitt picked up a pen and made a few strokes on the notebook. I admire Pitt’s way of doing things, which is very stable, double insurance, and has a way out. We need to know carefully these things.

OK, I remember, the windmill isn't it? Is there a number? What's the problem? I wanted to figure it out, but I couldn't help asking a few more questions.

Before Pete answered, Sun Meiping hurriedly said beside him, "There are numbers, Mr. Tang, when I go to the sculpture workshop, I will show you, and you will know, it's mainly the problem of the small fan blade. Let's go there first, you will definitely understand after reading it!"

OK, thanks!

I followed Sun Meiping out of the sample room, turned left and walked about fifty or sixty meters before coming to the production area. The first one I went to was the sculpture room, and there were three sculptors in Lindao's office, but I just greeted them yesterday and didn't go in and take a closer look. Today, I can be considered as the moon first, so I have to take a closer look.

There were more than a dozen sculptors inside, either holding carving knives, bamboo chops, mud, and scraping them there, sticking them, pinching them with hands, or using small molds, and they were busy and busy.

Looking at these sculptors, putting a piece of mud in their hands for a few strokes, a bear appeared on the chopping board vividly, and a few slashes were cut, and the details of a rooster's crown were revealed. What a surprising craft. I am full of awe for these craftsmen!
