Chapter 259 The Way of Survival

The structure of the assembly line of small household appliances is not complicated and is mainly composed of a line frame, a power system, a transmission belt and a belt support.

Among them, the wire frame is the easiest to make, and any skilled welder can make it.

The transmission belt is a PVC anti-static belt with a seamless interface.

The belt support uses a bearing roller. Since small household appliances are not heavy, the requirements for the belt support are not high. If it is a bulky large appliance, you need to use a good bearing roller.

In the 1990s, some of the above could be done domestically. Only the most important power system had to be imported.

Assembly lines have relatively high requirements for motors. Domestic motors used in assembly lines would break down every three days. Therefore, the assembly lines at that time mainly used motors imported from Japan.

The price of imported motors was very high. At that time, a motor imported from Japan cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, which also raised the price of the assembly line.

Later, a large number of Chinese companies introduced Japanese motor technology and localized assembly line motors. The price of assembly line equipment became cabbage prices, with many assembly lines costing tens of thousands of yuan a set.

Also because of price factors, Li Weidong did not introduce assembly lines before. It would cost more than 2 million yuan to install two assembly line equipment in a factory with more than 200 people.

With this kind of money, we can hire more than 200 workers, and each person will be paid a salary of 100 yuan a month, which is only 1,200 yuan a year. More than 2 million yuan can be used for ten years! Calculating, it is still cost-effective to hire workers.

But now, the situation is different. Li Weidong wants to win the OEM contract of Xizhi Electric. This will be a long-term business, so he must introduce assembly line equipment.

Spending several million and installing a few sets of assembly lines, if you can get Xizhi Electric's OEM, it will definitely be a very cost-effective investment.

After all, Ma Zhongyi is engaged in production, and he is no stranger to assembly lines. When he heard that Li Weidong wanted to introduce assembly line equipment, Ma Zhongyi was the first to frown.

"Weidong, I've seen assembly lines before. Some factories in the south are already using them. However, I don't think the efficiency is much faster, and the assembly line equipment is expensive. It's better to recruit more workers!" Ma

Zhongyi said.

Li Weidong smiled slightly and said: "Brother Ma, the assembly line is for workers, so the efficiency of the assembly line depends on the management of the workers! If we still follow the management model of the planned economy era, even with the assembly line, the efficiency will be

It won’t improve much, so while introducing assembly lines, we must improve management methods.”

"How to change it?" Ma Zhongyi asked subconsciously.

"First of all, I plan to reform the management system. In the past, the person in charge of front-line production was the workshop director. After the introduction of the assembly line, I want to change it. First, divide a production line into several production classes, select a person with outstanding ability as the class leader, and lead

Members perform production work.

Then a production line is set up with a line leader. This line leader can be selected from the squad leaders. Each line leader is responsible for one assembly line equipment. The line leader does not need to go to the production line. His job responsibilities include arranging production plans, implementing production goals, and completing

Quality control, keeping equipment stable, maintaining work discipline, etc.”

Li Weidong paused and let Ma and Wang digest it for a while before continuing: "The person above the line leader is the workshop director. The workshop director is mainly responsible for the management of the workshop. In addition to ensuring the production of the workshop,

In addition, supervision work must be done, such as the rationing of raw materials and labor discipline in the workshop, which are also the responsibility of the workshop director. In short, each production line is required to complete production tasks with quality and quantity."

Having said this, Li Weidong looked at Ma Zhongyi and said: "Beyond the workshop director, you are the director in charge of production! I think this division of labor system is clearer than before. In the past, a workshop director had to take care of many things.

There are even many trivial matters. The addition of squad leaders and line leaders can free the workshop director from trivial matters and devote his energy to management."

"If things look like this, we may need to increase the number of cadres in the factory!" Wang Kaiping said.

Li Weidong nodded: "That's right, but I'm not afraid of too many cadres, I'm afraid that they won't be useful! It's said that it's easy to get a thousand troops, but it's hard to find a general. If we can train qualified middle-level cadres in this way, it will definitely

It’s cost-effective. If we expand production scale in the future, we won’t have to worry about talent issues.”

Li Weidong took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "After installing the assembly line equipment, our wage system will also need to be modified. I plan to adopt a wage system that combines basic wages with overtime wages.

Eight hours of work per day are calculated as basic wages, and working hours beyond eight hours are calculated as overtime wages. The standard for overtime wages is 1.5 times the basic wage.

In other words, if a worker works four hours of overtime every day, then his working time is twelve hours, but he can get fourteen hours of wages. In this way, the overtime pay will account for 40% of the worker's salary.

"

Li Weidong directly copied Foxconn’s wage system.

"Weidong, if you do this, wouldn't you just encourage everyone to work overtime?" Wang Kaiping asked.

"Yes, we encourage everyone to work overtime. If the production tasks are tight, we can adopt a 24-hour production model with two shifts, one shift every 12 hours. In this way, people can rest, but the equipment does not rest, so as to maximize production capacity and achieve the fastest speed.

Complete production tasks."

Li Weidong continued: "If the production tasks are not tight, then we will carry out production normally and will not arrange overtime for workers. At that time, we will only need to pay basic wages, and we will not need to pay 1.5 times overtime pay, and we can also reduce the cost of production."

Our cost.”

"I have a question!" Ma Zhongyi asked: "If there are two shifts 24 hours a day, half of the people will definitely work the night shift. It is not convenient to go from home to the factory in the middle of the night! I guess not

How many people are willing to work the night shift?"

"So we have one more thing to do." Li Weidong smiled slightly and then said: "We have to build dormitories for workers!"

Wang Kaiping suddenly looked surprised: "Are you planning to build a family area? That would cost a lot of money!"

"Brother Wang, don't think too much. What I want to build is not a family area like our transportation company, but a dormitory." Li Weidong added: "It's just like an ordinary dormitory, with four bunk beds in one room.

, the kind that can accommodate eight people.”

Ma Zhongyi frowned: "What are you doing building that thing? Our workers are basically villagers from the surrounding villages. The villages have been allocated housing sites and have built houses. Who do you build dormitories for?"

"It's for those who work the night shift and those who work overtime!" Li Weidong continued:

"I have investigated and found that not many workers in our factory live in the town. Most of them live in the villages below. It takes 20 to 30 minutes from each village to work in our factory at the fastest time, and one hour at the slow time. This is just

One way, round trip time will be doubled.

If workers can live directly in the factory, this time can be saved. The time saved can be used to work overtime, and they can earn 1.5 times the salary in one hour, which is no better than wasting time on the way back and forth.

What?

In addition to building dormitories, we also need to buy a boiler and build a bathhouse. After the workers finish working overtime, they go directly to the bathhouse to take a warm bath, then go back to the dormitory to sleep, wake up and go back to work overtime.

The canteen also needs to be renovated. The variety of food should be richer and provide three meals a day, plus a midnight snack. We can use part of the money every month as a food subsidy to allow workers to eat directly in the canteen.

Eating here is not much more convenient than eating at home! "

"It's easier to work overtime after you have a full meal, right?" Wang Kaiping asked with a smile.

Ma Zhongyi, who was next to him, also said, "Weidong, I finally understand. These measures you have taken are all to encourage workers to work overtime!"

Li Weidong nodded: "You are right, I wish all the workers would work overtime!"

"Weidong, you are becoming more and more like a black-hearted capitalist!" Wang Kaiping said jokingly.

"Brother Wang, I didn't exploit the workers. I paid them 1.5 times overtime pay for working overtime! In a state-owned enterprise, overtime work is voluntary labor. Is there any state-owned enterprise that pays overtime pay for overtime work? Calculate it like this

, I am a conscientious employer!”

Li Weidong paused and then said: "And if we want to defeat the Malaysian factory and obtain the agency qualification from Xizhi Electric, we must do this!"

Having said this, Li Weidong sighed lightly: "We are not a Middle Eastern country, where we can make a fortune by selling oil; we are not Australia, where we can live comfortably by mining;

We are not a European country, and our ancestors did not become robbers, and did not rob us of wealth that could not be spent in several lifetimes;

We are not the United States either. We have a superior geographical location and are rich in various resources. We have been developing steadily for two hundred years. Now that we are strong, we can take advantage of it by running around the world!

We have suffered humiliation, we have suffered hardships, and we are lagging behind others!

We don’t have a rich family, and we don’t want to rob others. If we want to live a good life, we can only use our diligence, our sweat, and work hard. Apart from that, we have no other way.

Walk!"

Li Weidong walked to the window, looked at the huge yard, and then said: "If others work for eight hours, and we also work for eight hours, why should Xizhi Electric leave the OEM to us?

If we want to be the foundry of Xizhi Electric, we have to work harder than others! If others work eight hours a day, we will work twelve hours! We want to tell Xizhi Electric that here are the hardest-working workers in the world.

!

Hard work and sweat are our way to survive! It is also the only weapon we have. Now, we must use this weapon to steal all the jobs!"
