NOVEL NEXT Chapter 52 Promote 5S
Fang Bai rode to his father-in-law's processing factory and saw that the entire workshop was busy.
Father-in-law saw Fang Bai coming and asked him to sit for a while while he finished the work at hand.
Fang Bai stood a few meters away and watched. At this time, his father-in-law was wearing dirty work clothes and operating a lathe. He was no different from a lathe in the factory. Fortunately, he was still young and strong, so there was no problem in doing this kind of work.
Seeing that he is not wearing protective glasses, I remind you: "You still have to pay attention to wearing glasses, reading glasses will do."
Qin Donghai said happily: "My speed is not fast, and there is a baffle. If the speed is fast, the wire will swing violently, so I need to wear glasses."
"Well, pay attention to your safety. You see, the injury on my right hand was accidentally caused by the shearing machine."
Fang Bai said that he knew that his father-in-law had noticed the scars on the middle three fingers of his right hand for a long time, but he was too embarrassed to ask the reason. An expert could tell the reason at a glance.
In terms of production safety, whether it is a lathe or a driller, it is best for workers to wear protective glasses to prevent iron filings from being thrown into their eyes.
The processed iron filings are very hot and sharp, and can easily injure people.
"You have few people now. If there are more workers and you don't pay attention to production safety, problems will easily occur and you will lose a lot of money." Fang Bai reminded again. When he saw his father-in-law picking up his glasses and wearing them, he smiled and said that he must pay attention to it.
As soon as he finished speaking, the driller who was working said "Ouch". Fang Bai and Qin Donghai went over to take a look and asked how it was going.
"Iron filings flew into my eyes, but luckily they didn't get into my eyes. It's okay." The worker closed his eyes, took off his gloves and rubbed his eyes, trying to find a way to relieve the pain.
Fang Bai took a closer look and found that his eyelids were burned red and there was a slight scratch. It was indeed a small injury and nothing serious.
But if it gets into your eyes, it’s no small matter.
Fang Bai then observed the driller's labor protection. He wore gloves on his hands.
According to regulations, workers are not allowed to wear gloves when working, because they are afraid of accidentally getting their hands or even people involved, which poses a huge safety hazard.
However, if you don’t wear gloves, you will easily get cut when holding the workpiece with your bare hands. Workers are reluctant to take off their gloves all the time because it is too troublesome.
"Boss Qin, I suggest that you strictly require wearing glasses before working. If it really hurts your eyes, this is not a small problem. It will ruin your life. How will you work to make money to support your family in the future?"
Don't wear silk or linen gloves for drillers, as they can easily twist your hands. Use plastic gloves instead. "
As a salesperson, Fang Bai has the right to inspect and audit the factory's production safety. I think you are not in compliance with the standards. If you don't change it, I won't give you an order next time.
This is an unwritten rule. It’s up to your boss whether you do it or not.
When the driller heard Fang Bai's words, he shuddered. His eyes were seriously injured and he really had no way to support his family.
"Okay, I'll buy it in the afternoon and exchange it." Qin Donghai felt that he had no objection. Everything the customer said was right.
Fang Bai nodded, now it's okay that his father-in-law went to give birth as he requested.
If the two of them form a partnership, it may be difficult to listen to his opinion.
There are some things that must be led by him.
"It's almost time to get paid for the first batch of orders. Also, I'm going to help you do more work. Your workshop must be standardized. Otherwise, if customers come to inspect, it's impossible to give you an order if you make such a mess. .
If you don't manage the scene well, people will think you don't have good quality control. That's what I mean. "Fang Baiping gave some suggestions in a calm tone, and then talked about the money issue, so that he wouldn't have so many worries.
Finally, when it comes to the issue of order volume, it is just a sweetener.
When Qin Donghai heard that Fang Bai was working so hard to get the order, he smiled and was very excited. He patted his chest and said, "Okay, what you gave is a good suggestion, but I'm not very good at it."
"Okay, first you have to draw the area line. Just use yellow paint to make it more conspicuous. Where are the rough products, semi-finished products, finished products and unqualified products, arranged neatly, with clear quantities and effective markings.
The finished product is placed on a plastic board to avoid scratches, and care must be taken during transportation;
Your equipment needs to be placed at an angle, and there are baffles on the outside, not to mention it was also done to prevent leaks..."
Fang Bai roughly talked about the factory planning of big manufacturers he had seen in his previous life. No matter what factory he is now, he basically doesn’t understand 5S.
The first companies to introduce 5S management were some island companies in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province. It was around 2000 that some domestic companies introduced the management concept.
But if it becomes truly popular, it may not be until around 2010.
This was Fang Bai's impression. He couldn't remember the specific time.
Now Fang Bai is talking to his father-in-law about 5S. He can be said to be the first person in China to promote the 5S concept.
Of course, he only gave some suggestions to his father-in-law, saying that there were too many and he could not absorb them so much, so he could only remind him more in the future.
Even if Fang Bai said it today, it would be good if he could improve a little, but he didn't mean he could improve too much.
Now that my father-in-law is working day and night shifts, safety issues are likely to arise when working at night.
There are many work-related injuries in machinery factories every year, and they are even more frequent in this era. Serious safety accidents are not uncommon.
There are many cases like steel factory furnaces falling down and burning people to death, and coal mines collapsing.
The 5S management concept is applicable to both small workshops and large enterprises, and it is not too advanced. It just depends on how it is used. Fang Bai said that concepts such as delineating classification areas and working habits can improve work efficiency and quality.
Of course, if you mess around and just do it as a formality, it will be harmful to the company. Fang Bai also specifically told his father-in-law not to do it as a formality.
The ultimate goal of 5S is to improve efficiency and quality. If you violate this, you have not fully understood the 5S concept and are messing around.
Fang Bai stayed for more than ten minutes and then went to find the order.
If you want to upgrade your index finger, you have to wait until after the college entrance examination, and the time is stuck for a long time. Now there are only two upgrades, making money to upgrade to the intermediate level, and building connections to upgrade the ring finger.
Apart from recovering from the injury, upgrading Fang Bai's middle finger is of little significance now, as the company has to design products.
Of course, he doesn't understand what new features will be gained by upgrading his middle finger to LV3. He needs to accumulate a million wealth. If selling TVs can be stable, it will be possible next year.
Nowadays, connections are very useful in dealing with Fang Bai. He can only detect one person a day. The number is too small and he will not use it unless he has to.
Now if I want to make connections, the best way to deal with them is with the senior management of the valve factory. If I only know each other but have no shared interests, it is not considered a connection at all.
Fang Bai's target valve factory this time is Nanjiang Valve Factory, whose boss is Huang Xing.
Huang Xing is a very powerful person. He worked for a few years after retiring from the army and established his own valve manufacturing company in 1985. He was also able to conduct independent research and development. He obtained many invention patents that shocked the industry and created three "world's first" valve manufacturing companies. ".
But later on, he was tricked by his nephew who liked to gamble, and the shoe factory owned by Nanjiang Group was destroyed, and he lost a lot of money.
That's how family businesses are, there are advantages and disadvantages, but it's always better than working with outsiders.
In non-partnerships, partners will part ways if there is any conflict between them.
But family businesses don’t do that. If they don’t do well, they will still be scolded and they will continue to do so.
Generally speaking, Huang Xing is a very good person. He will be prosperous in a few years and he will do well in politics and business. He is worth keeping friends with.
There are too many valve factories in Yongjia County, including small workshops. The number is no less than a thousand. Fang Bai walked along the street for a while and found one.
More than ten minutes later, Fang Bai arrived at Nanjiang Valve Manufacturing Company.
The current scale of Nanjiang Valve is not large, not as big as that of Burley Valve Service Co., Ltd.
Carrying a CALL machine and dressed exquisitely, when the doormen saw Fang Bai entering the door, they all politely called him, "Boss, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for you, Mr. Huang, to discuss something."
"It should be in the office on the second floor, or in the workshop."
"Okay, thank you." Fang Bai handed him a cigarette, and the doorman took it with a smile.
"I have to guard the door, otherwise I'll take you in."
"It's okay, I know where it is."
Fang Bai smiled and walked into the factory.
Compared with some companies, Huang Xing's management is pretty good, and the doorman knows etiquette.
He used the same management method he used as a soldier, which was stricter, but the results were good, so it developed well in the next few years.
Fang Bai had dealt with Huang Xing in his previous life. His company mainly produced butterfly valves and regulating valves, not many gate and stop valves. They basically outsourced processing and then assembled and sold them themselves.
Butterfly valves are easy to install and clamp. Fang Bai does not want to do butterfly valve processing business. There is no improvement in processing and the profit is not high, but the technical requirements are not low.
The orders he is looking for now are all those he has dealt with in his previous life and knows something about.
He didn't expect to get an order this time. How could it be so easy to get an order? He mainly wanted to make connections.
The veteran farmer has worked in state-owned enterprises, foreign companies, and private enterprises, and has also personally participated in 5S evaluations. At the beginning, he really didn’t understand it and was purely engaged in formalities. In recent years, he has been deeply involved in grassroots management and has a better understanding. He is not just doing formalities to look good and improve customer satisfaction. , but based on the efficiency, safety and quality of the company's work.
