"Yunfei, xinkaixing can't continue like this. The company has been expanding, but it has begun to face the problem of finding no people in the Pearl River Delta. We can't continue to raise workers' wages to attract people!" Wang Qingfeng, who had not appeared in front of Yun Fei for a long time, appeared in front of Yun Fei with a depressed face.
The "labor shortage" in the Pearl River Delta has begun?
Yun Fei is really confused.
Under normal circumstances, it will not be difficult for enterprises to recruit on a small scale until 2004, and the large-scale labor shortage will not start until 2007. What if we start now?
"How can we not find anyone now?" Yun Fei didn't read the news reports, and no one in the company told him about it. Isn't wang Qingfeng making a mountain out of a molehill?
Wang Qingfeng shook his head. They xinkaixing have always maintained a high working level, which has caused great cost pressure to them.
"It's not that it's difficult to recruit workers, but at present, with the popularity of a large number of domestic CNC machine tools, after China's accession to the world trade organization, although more outsourcing processing orders have entered China, the competition has become more intense. Three years ago, we slowed down the increase in workers' wages, which is now about 10% higher than that of ordinary enterprises. At present, in just over half a year, the gross profit level of the machining industry has decreased from 30% to about 22%, and there is a possibility of further decline... "Wang Qingfeng explained to Yun Fei.
The cost of machining business is getting higher and higher, and the processing price is declining with the increase of domestic CNC machine tools.
At the beginning, there were few three-axis machining centers, and the charge for outsourcing processing can reach 300 yuan an hour. Now, it is not easy for most of them to reach 180 yuan. Ordinary products even cost tens of dollars an hour.
The profit of Qingfeng machinery's machinery processing business has shrunk significantly. Compared with the time when Yunfei worked in their factory in the early 1990s, the processing fee has basically decreased by 50%, and the labor cost has increased from about 300 yuan to 800 yuan, which has more than tripled!
"What's the opinion of the company's strategy department? They don't have the slightest way to deal with such a situation, do they? Moreover, they should be aware of these situations, otherwise they will be derelict of their duty. " Yun Fei didn't care too much about these things.
Wang Qingfeng is really making a fuss.
Their industries are not mainly located in the Pearl River Delta.
Even xinkaixing, in order to cope with the rising domestic labor costs, will also put a large part of its business in Dandong, which is separated by a river from North Korea. Xinyizhou will also have some industries in which xinkaixing needs a lot of labor.
"This was put forward by Ma Ting of the strategic planning department. At present, there is only such a trend, which is not very serious, but according to the current sales of your CNC machine tools and some data of domestic business growth, there will be a labor shortage in the Pearl River Delta in two years at most. " Wang Qingfeng said to Yun Fei very seriously.
The Pearl River Delta is not a traditional heavy industry area. They still have high requirements for skilled workers. Many jobs need to be done by skilled workers who have received professional training. Especially for a large number of ordinary processing businesses, there is no problem from the design to NC machine tool processing. After all, as long as programmers do a good job in the program and on-site technicians debug various processing parameters, the last operator's daily action is basically fixed - open the protective door of the machine tool, Clamping parts - close the protective door and press the green start button - after that, open the door again for clamping.
For such boring work, many young people who used to study technology or think it's more fun simply don't have the patience to repeat it day after day. They don't even have time to fall in love with the work of 12 hours a day.
After all, if they want to climb up and become technicians or managers, they must constantly charge and take the initiative to learn. After passing the assessment, the company will provide promotion training, and then conduct the assessment.
There is basically no way to surpass this model.
This is how the assembly line works. People are robots. They repeat those actions every day.
Such a job cannot retain people like the subordinate enterprises of Yunshi holding.
"Ma Ting didn't come here with you? You said you too. You don't know anything about the company, do you? " Yun Fei was speechless. Since it was proposed by the people from the planning department, at least he should bring the people from the planning department here, shouldn't he? Even if he asked Wang Qingfeng a question, he didn't know how to answer it, did he?
"Yes, I'm looking at the situation in the ball screw factory. After all, it's much easier to recruit workers here, and there don't need many general workers here..." Wang Qingfeng said shyly.
"The situation is not fully understood. What are you talking about? Lao Wang, it's just up to them to deal with this matter... "Yun Fei was speechless immediately.
Isn't wang Qingfeng looking for trouble?
He is very busy now and is preparing to let go of the company's management affairs, so he often has to look at the management personnel of the whole company to see if they are competent for the work after the decentralization. Wang Qingfeng is good. The company usually doesn't take care of it. After his subordinates reported some possibility, they ran to find their own trouble.
I really think I'm as idle as he is!
"No, although it doesn't happen now, we have to take precautions, don't we?" When Wang Qingfeng saw Yunfei, he didn't intend to ignore him. He couldn't help being a little worried.
"Wait until you understand the situation clearly, you come to me with Ma Ting, and I'll listen to the situation." Yun Fei said helplessly.
If you don't get rid of this guy, you'll have to bother him here all day.
"I also know something about the situation. Why don't I tell you?" Wang Qingfeng smiled at Yunfei and said, "Ma Ting doesn't know when she's free. Anyway, I'm free. We still don't disturb her work, do we? She has done a good job. Is she helping us make money? "
"Everything you know has been said. Just say what you want to do!" The cloud is not really speechless.
"Use robots to replace assembly line operators!" Wang Qingfeng's words immediately shocked Yun Fei.
This guy can't have burned his head, can he?
Now want to replace operators with robots? Aren't you kidding? The cloud is very clear about how high the cost is.
After all, this technology has not been fully put into practical use, and the cost is quite high. Besides, the control accuracy is also a big problem.
"The planning department feels that, just like our radiator factory, using robots to replace operators, we can reduce the number of people on one line from 30 to two porters, and one life line length can manage the whole line. At the same time, the line leader will also be held by technicians. In this way, our 20 production lines will reduce nearly 800 workers and save nearly ten million a year... "Wang Qingfeng also learns to speak with data now.
"More importantly, after calculation, when the robot production line ensures the current production efficiency, because the robot does not have to work shifts and starts up 24 hours, even if it stops for maintenance one day a week, eight automatic production lines are enough. Our efficiency will be improved by at least 40% and the cost will be reduced by about 60... "Wang Qingfeng tells Yun Fei with a sharp data comparison that he is determined to start the intelligent production line at this time.
He wants to turn their labor-intensive industries into technology intensive industries.
"Lao Wang, do you know the cost of a production line? According to the current cost price, such a production line is not difficult, but the cost is very high, which needs to be coordinated as a whole. Moreover, a manipulator has a problem, and the whole line has to stop... "Yun Fei is very helpless.
Obviously, Wang Qingfeng is too superstitious about their mechanical automation technology.
For this, the cloud has no bottom in his heart.
"The cost is not a problem. Even if it is 100 million for one line, the cost will be recovered in five years at most." Wang Qingfeng said domineering.
"Besides, I don't do everything like this, just those assembly lines. Let's just use the heat sink factory to do the test... "
For this, the cloud is not speechless.
"The board of directors passed this resolution?" Yun Fei really doesn't know how to deal with Wang Qingfeng.
This guy made it clear that he wanted to pass on the cost to Yun's holdings and wait until he slowly repaid the debt. Yun must be able to do this.
"They have no problem with this. They wait for money every year. I agree, you agree, isn't that enough? " Wang Qingfeng smiled.
"I have to think about this. I have to discuss with the person in charge of automation about whether there is a way to realize this kind of fully automatic assembly. Now Deng Lanqing, the vice president in charge of this, is on vacation... "Yun Fei simply put the matter on Deng Lanqing.
Anyway, now Deng Lanqing doesn't know where to play, and Wang Qingfeng can't find her.
Although the project continues, the person in charge is Deng Lanqing, isn't he?
Sun Lin and situ Heyun are working on CNC machine tools.
Moreover, the heavy-duty turning milling compound machining center supporting the Three Gorges has entered the final stage, and situ Heyun has always been in Hal heavy industry.
It has taken several years since the project was started. The super heavy equipment they cooperated with northern heavy industry and Harbin heavy industry, and perhaps the largest single machining equipment in the world, is about to be completed.
At such an important historical moment, the cloud is unnatural and it is impossible not to go to the scene.
Where do you have time to gossip with Wang Qingfeng?
"Lao Wang, let's wait another two years. By then, the technology will be more mature. After all, this involves robots. At present, 91 automobile equipment is only the main direction of automobile business, and now we don't have the energy to focus on it. I mean, do you understand? " Even if I'm sorry to refuse, I can't refuse.
This matter is really unnecessary.
Wang Qingfeng is a guy who is full.
It is estimated that he said that using this to reduce costs is not really to reduce costs, but to boast and pretend to be B to people! After all, once such a production line is really completed, it will shock the whole world.
Although there is no such technology abroad, foreign investment in such a production line is a little painful.
Moreover, immature robot technology often causes problems in the production line. In this way, it is likely that the production cost is higher than that of labor!
"This..." Wang Qingfeng didn't think of it. Yun Fei didn't want it at all.
This is very different from what he thought before he came to Yunfei.
"Lao Wang, even if the labor cost is really unbearable, don't we still have cheap Korean workers? From a commercial standpoint, when we conduct research in this area, we naturally hope to have market orders. But I am also a shareholder of xinkaixing. Naturally, I will not be willing to do such a thing. Sometimes, automation is not better than using manual methods. " Yun Fei is telling the truth.
If it is ordered by other customers, such as those OEM factories in Taiwan, he will accept these orders without hesitation.
After all, this can recover part of the research funds.
Wang Qingfeng can't. Yunfei himself is also a shareholder. Xinkaixing's financial situation has always been very bad because of its rapid expansion. If Yunfei agrees, he has to advance money himself. Even with interest, it is not cost-effective for him.
This not only failed to reduce their R & D costs, but also increased their R & D costs.
"The last automation transformation was very good. It took so long. As long as there was no operation error, it was very stable. So, I think there's no problem getting on the automatic line... "Wang Qingfeng still didn't give up.
The cloud is going crazy.
He really doesn't know why Wang Qingfeng has to be so persistent about this!
"Lao Wang, this fully automatic production line and semi-automatic production line are two things. To realize semi-automatic, some places only need some small tooling and simple accessories, which has little to do with intelligence. Let me tell you, to achieve complete automation is not what our existing technology can achieve. European and American countries are much more advanced in science and technology than us. Why do they prefer to give their countries development opportunities rather than realize these automation by themselves? Have you thought about it? " Yun Fei had to explain to Wang Qingfeng seriously.
If you don't explain clearly, this guy will never let him live a peaceful life.
"That's because our domestic labor was cheap at that time!" Wang Qingfeng naturally knows these things.
He went to sea in the 1980s.
