1191 Don't take automation for granted (2)

"Okay, the food is here, everyone, let's have a meal first, after the meal, let's set off. This is a working meal at noon, so don't drink anymore." Yun Fei's words made Wang Qingfeng, who was just about to ask the waiter to serve the wine, depressed.

Without drinking, one meal would naturally be extremely fast. In less than half an hour, everyone left the hotel.

Everyone knows Yun Fei's style of doing business, and no one asks to take a break after a meal or something. They get on the business car arranged by Wang Qingfeng. In the car, Wang Qingfeng began to briefly introduce the situation of the plastic products factory.

"In Xinkaixing Plastic Products Factory, the main purpose of producing various large-scale plastic products. Only large-scale products can effectively reduce the cost of molds. Because there are many small parts, the production speed is only a few dozen seconds, or even less than ten seconds. This makes a worker unable to take care of too many equipment. If these most basic actions can be changed to automation like the cutting workshop of the radiator factory, our cost will be reduced a lot." This is the most tangled thing that Wang Qingfeng is currently most troublesome.

In the plastic products factory, many products cannot be allowed to be allowed to be molded and parts that have not been completely cooled fall off automatically. Smaller products must be picked up by workers to ensure the quality of these parts. For example, the fans used in the heat sink on the computer must be divided into several types of molds to produce some parts and then assemble them, especially those blades, and the production time for each piece is only 26 seconds, which is added to the worker's operating time. Skilled workers can make this time within 22 seconds, but there is no way to maintain such a speed for a long time. Workers with slow hands and feet can even make this production time higher than 34 seconds. This is all statistics.

Once it can be transformed into automated production, the production time can be fully allowed to enter within 20 seconds and continuously produce 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 maximum extent.

After all, when workers work, it is impossible for them to work in the best condition for twelve hours a day. 26 seconds is just an average time. This is the average production time without putting aside the time for workers to eat, go to the toilet and rest.

Anyway, Xinkaixing now has a guaranteed wage system with piecework. In order to minimize labor costs and stimulate workers' enthusiasm for production, piecework wages are also graded. The more over-production, the more piecework wages are definitely the more. The work weight specified by the factory is basically not making money.

This system is not just like this, Xinkaixing, but almost all factories in the coastal areas are like this. Anyway, they treat these ordinary workers as robots and squeeze their labor force hard.

"The factory has four production workshops, all of which work in different areas according to different products and equipment. The division of labor is very detailed, handling, adding materials, operators, quality inspections, molds, etc. are strictly divided..."

It is only 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.

Plastic products factories do not require much technology like other factories. The most complex molds are handed over to Xinkaixing’s mold factory. Equipment maintenance is quite technical, but most of these equipment are new equipment purchased from abroad. A small one costs only tens of thousands of yuan, and it is not easy to have problems. The installation and debugging of molds is simpler. After all, many products are produced on a large scale for a long time. After the mold is replaced, it is very likely that the mold will not move for several consecutive months, unless it is broken and needs to be repaired...

In recent years, in the Pearl River Delta, especially in Huadu and Special Economic Zone, the earliest cities that developed, almost all the places around the city are industrial zones. Fortunately, they are just light industries, otherwise, there are chemical factories around Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so there are probably no fish or shrimp in the rivers here.

Xinkaixing's plastic products factory is not far from 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 keep more industries here. Wang Qingfeng has been struggling with this matter.

Because the land in the industrial area where Xin Kaixing is located cannot support Xin Kaixing's expansion, mechanical processing is not like an electronic factory, many heavy machinery and equipment cannot be placed upstairs. After all, there is no way to prevent equipment from vibrating, and it is impossible to bear too much load. This makes Xin Kaixing's expansion require large-scale land to support it. During this period, there has been a lot of controversy over Wang Qingfeng's land speculation, and the Huadu Municipal Government did not dare to give Xin Kaixing too much land.

If you can't give the land, many factories in Xinkaixing have to be moved out...

The Huadu Municipal Government is currently preparing the government to invest in the construction of a Xinkaixing Industrial Park to install all the industries in Xinkaixing. Xinkaixing does not need to build factories, but only needs to rent every year. It operates according to their operating model in other places. In this way, it will not be accused of eating the benefits given by Wang Qingfeng, and approve land for him without principles and let him hype up the price of the Huadu land.

"The injection molding machines in this workshop are all small injection molding machines with injection volumes of 30-80 cubic centimeters. There are 233 units in the entire workshop, including Taiwan, Japan, and domestic products. The production efficiency is not the same. The mold warehouse next to it is also the largest, with a total of thousands of small molds of different products..." Injection molding machines are different from mechanical processing equipment. Many small equipment here are placed upstairs, and only those large injection molding machines are placed on the first floor. After all, plastic products factories not only require operators, but also warehouses and others.

"Mr. Chen, why don't I ask someone to take you to the entire workshop to take a walk first?" Wang Qingfeng saw that Chen Mingli started to hang around as soon as he entered the workshop, holding a notebook and a pen in his hand. He didn't know much about the situation in these factories, and he couldn't introduce it in detail.

Yun Fei was also frowning while on the side, as if he had discovered a lot of problems as soon as he came in.

"Mr. Wang, don't bother, we can just look at it ourselves." Chen Mingli rejected Wang Qingfeng's suggestions. Many things can only be discovered by looking at them by themselves. Where can we automate the transformation, and where it must be manually operated to save costs. These must be evaluated through the operation of workers.

The design philosophy of Jiuyi Research Institute is to achieve the highest efficiency with the lowest cost.

Even now, it is just the most preliminary idea. After they have a rough plan, more statistical surveys will be conducted.

The main purpose of automation is to use mechanical automatic devices to replace the simple repeated actions of workers. All the actions used by these automated machinery simulate the worker's operation and optimize to the greatest extent. Only in this way can the purpose of minimizing costs be achieved. Without a detailed understanding, who can design it?

"Okay, Lao Chen, you can take them with you. If we are not in the workshop, go to the factory director's office." Yun Fei naturally knew this, and Xin Kaixing might have carried out another comprehensive rectification.

Wang Qingfeng did not notify the factory about their visit to the factory, nor did they contact the factory manager in advance. After all, the car is from the company headquarters, so there is naturally no obstacle when entering. As soon as he arrived at the factory, Yun Fei discovered a lot of problems.

"Lao Wang, who is responsible for this factory? Are the people recruited outside or are they promoted from Xinkaixing's old factory?" After Chen Mingli and his friends left, Yun Fei asked Wang Qingfeng.

When Wang Qingfeng heard something wrong with Yun Fei's words, he asked in confusion: "Except for technicians, most of the management in our Xinkaixing are promoted internally by the company. The director of this factory is Tang Jing. It turns out that a girl from Xinkaixing's production department. What's wrong?"

"From the Production Department?" Yun Fei frowned, "The people who came out of the Production Department should not have such a situation. Lao Wang, have you not noticed that the situation here is a bit abnormal?"

"It's normal. What's wrong with it?" Wang Qingfeng looked around and did not find anything wrong with it.

"There are many equipment here, and a class requires so many people? Don't you think this workshop is very messy?" Yun Fei was a little speechless. The injection molding factory was not like a machining factory. It could have been very neat. In terms of neatness, it is naturally nothing wrong. However, Yun Fei still felt that it was too messy inside. This is mainly because there were too many people here.

There are many people and crowds, and the constant movement, it naturally gives people a feeling of chaos.

"Why don't you ask Tang Jing about the situation? I don't know these things. If you don't say it, I haven't noticed it yet. It seems that there are really many people working on the post..." Wang Qingfeng heard Yun Fei say this and really found that many people were not at work. Logically speaking, in addition to the inspection qc, the on-duty squad leader, the technician, and the workers who fill in the injection molding machine silo, the operator should not work on the post.

The reason why it can be seen at once is that different jobs in Xinkaixing have different colors of work clothes.

"Ask." Yun Fei nodded.

Now he is no longer the same as before. If he had discovered such a situation, he would naturally stop the entire workshop from production and give a lecture to the workers.

Wang Qingfeng is familiar with all the factory directors. If Tang Jing does not have the ability, she will not be brought here to be the factory director. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
