Chapter 273

After Li Kuanda left, Zhang Qianxiu looked at Cao Yaowen and Xu Lejia and said, "Cao Gong, what grade is your electrician?"

"Boss, I'm a second-class electrician." Cao Yaowen said.

Zhang Qianxiu was a little surprised. He probably knew that electricians were divided into five levels: Junior (Level 5), intermediate (Level 4), senior (Level 3), technician (Level 2) and senior technician (Level 1).

In the 21st century, the electrician's certificate may not be so high in gold, and now it is difficult to rate.

In principle, a second-class electrician will not stay here.

"Cao Gong, how can you work here for such a long time?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.

Cao Yaowen embarrassed said: "boss, I can have this job has been good, I have been in prison."

Zhang Qianxiu was even more surprised to see that Cao Yaowen, who was harmless to human beings and animals, had been in prison. He asked, "Cao Gong, would you mind telling me?"

Cao Yaowen was silent for a moment and gave a sad smile: "when my daughter was 13 years old, she was bullied by two bastards. I was so angry that I stabbed someone with a knife and went in for seven years."

"I learned electrician in prison, because I performed well in prison, the leaders took care of me, and sometimes helped to repair some things."

"When I came out, the leader inside wrote me a letter of recommendation, so that I could have this job."

Zhang Qianxiu nodded understandably: "sorry."

Cao Yaowen looked at Zhang Qianxiu in surprise and quickly bowed his head: "it's OK. It's almost ten years in the past."

Zhang Qianxiu didn't ask Cao Yaowen much about his personal affairs. He just asked just now, but he was afraid that Cao Yaowen had any bad habits.

"Mr. Cao, I've been thinking these days. I want to optimize some of the equipment and processes in the factory. If we can replace them with machines, we'll use them. Can you make some machines or equipment instead of manual labor?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.

Cao Yaowen awkwardly said: "boss, i... I don't know how to make cakes, but in some places, I can think of some ways to try."

Zhang Qianxiu pondered for a while and said, "it's ok if you can't make cakes. I'll say hello to Chen Fei. You'll go to the small R & D room of our factory and ask them to tell you how and why cakes are made. When the time comes, you'll let them try out what you make. If you can use it, we'll put it on the production line."

"Xu Yue's family has learned a little bit about electricity before. They don't know much about it, but they also have some basic knowledge."

"Cao Gong, in the future, you have to supply power and machinery to the factory and study machinery and equipment. I'm afraid you won't be able to keep busy, so let him help you."

Xu Le's family, who had been sitting on the side without saying a word, was overjoyed that Zhang Qianxiu had arranged such a good job for them.

Cao Yaowen nodded: "OK, boss, I'll think of more ways."

Zhang Qianxiu said, "in the future, Cao Gong will take Xu Le's family with you, and when you have time, you will find a way to study some more practical things. A station can be replaced by a machine, and the factory will give at least 500 rewards."

"If we can't reduce the number of employees and accelerate the speed by more than 10%, there will be more than 100 rewards."

If you can save a station, as long as it doesn't consume a lot of electricity, you can save a lot of employees' wages in the future. 500 yuan is not much.

Cao Yaowen couldn't help his eyes when he heard that there was something approaching. Maybe it was because he had been in prison for a long time. After all, Cao Yaowen was a bit stiff in his words: "thank you, boss. I'll try my best to find a way."

After arranging these, Zhang Qianxiu asked them to go out first, and he also went to the workshop to find Su Yuwei.

Zhang Qianxiu found Su Yuwei in the packaging workshop.

Su Yuwei stood on the side and looked at the staff's work very seriously.

"Daughter in law, what are you looking at?" Zhang Qianxiu walked behind Su Yuwei and asked.

Su Yuwei looked back, continued to look at the workers at work, and said: "you say, why can't family style small workshops compare with factories?"

Zhang Qianxiu was stunned. He hadn't thought about this before. He didn't start a business in his last life. In this life, he also made a dash: "why?"

"Efficiency!" Su Yuwei said: "just now I told you that your factory needs more people. When I said it, I didn't feel wrong. There are more people in the factory than in the family style small workshop."

"But when I got to the workshop, I looked back and thought about the two books" on the wealth of nations "and" economics "I read a few days ago."

"I remember a paragraph in the wealth of nations, which seems to say that in a normal and healthy economy, prices should be lower and lower, that is to say, efficiency is higher and higher."

"Because of the cooperation and division of labor between people."

"When the assembly line was invented, the traditional production speed was accelerated, and the price of goods would be depressed."

"With the same price and the same product, your profit should be higher than that of a small family workshop. But if you calculate it like this, it is lower than that of a small family workshop. There must be something wrong."

Zhang Qianxiu asked, "do you mean there is something wrong with the work arrangement of the production department?"

In fact, Zhang Qianxiu doesn't care much about the production department. A few days ago, he was busy with the problems of Dongtai and Wanhui factories, as long as the production department can produce things.

These days, he is busy with business and thinking about promotion. He always thinks that the production department should not have any problems.

Su Yuwei nodded: "there is a problem, the division of labor in the workshop is too complicated, some people have to do two or three processes, even four or five processes."

"You seem to have read the wealth of nations? My book is still with you. "

Zhang Qianxiu looked at the workers at work and nodded: "yes, both on the wealth of nations and on capital have said that the finer the division of labor, the higher the efficiency."

Zhang Qianxiu turned his head and waved to Gu Qinian, who was busy not far away.

Gu Qinian put down his work and ran over: "boss!"

Zhang Qianxiu asked: "group leader Gu, why does everyone have to do two or three processes, or even four or five processes?"

Gu Qinian explained: "it's always like this. It's convenient for adjustment. Sometimes when the factory has no or few orders, it needs to reduce the number of temporary workers, so that it can be done even if there are fewer people."

Zhang Qianxiu said, "from today on, try to take apart all the work stations, one process and one worker."

Gu Qinian is stunned: "boss, some are relatively simple, some processes are relatively complex."

Zhang Qianxiu said: "simple arrangements for one person, complex arrangements for two or even three. Every employee is only responsible for one process. "

Gu Qinian hesitated: "do you want to change it now?"

"There's nothing wrong now. Let them have a try." Zhang Qianxiu said.

Originally, there were more than 20 employees, including seven or eight groups. After integration, they directly became one group.

Weighing by weighing, bagging by bagging and sealing by sealing.

One line down, the speed is really much faster.

Because it was filled with crispy cakes, which were tossed back and forth and broke a lot. The last one in charge of the inspection picked out a lot of them.

Gu Qinian felt a little embarrassed. This was proposed by his boss, and he couldn't say anything.

Zhang Qianxiu shook his head: "no, one less assembly line."

After that, Zhang Qianxiu said, "team leader Gu, try to do it for an hour, and make statistics. Don't worry about how much faster it is or how much broken it is."

The factory does not have that kind of belt conveyor belt, so it can only change hands on the table. The cakes loaded by the employees have to be pushed back and forth for many times, which will inevitably break.

Su Yuwei said: "cake making workshop can also be subdivided. There is no way for baking workshop."

"As long as the speed of these two workshops is increased, the efficiency can be improved a lot," Zhang said

For an hour, neither Zhang Qianxiu nor Su Yuwei left.

Finally, Gu Qinian made some statistics. He was a little surprised: "boss, there are 65 cases. Usually there are more than 30 cases in an hour."

Zhang Qianxiu took a breath and said, "the speed is still fast. I'll go to Cao Gong and ask him to find a way to make a transport belt for you. With the transport belt, there won't be so many bad ones."

Gu Qinian asked: "what is a transport belt?"

"It's the assembly line." Zhang Qianxiu greets Su Yuwei and goes to find Cao Yaowen.

If Cao Yaowen can't make it, he will buy it. It's a motor, so it's not very difficult to make. Moreover, it's for biscuits, not for heavy things, and it doesn't require high pressure on the conveyor belt.

Cao Yaowen and Niu Tianfa were studying how to make cakes.

Zhang Qianxiu said, "Cao Gong, come out."

Cao Yaowen came out: "boss, what's up?"

"Can you make an assembly line?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.

Cao Yaowen thought for a moment and said, "it's not a big problem."

"How long will it take?" Zhang Qianxiu asked again.

"Look how long, two or three days!" Cao Yaowen said: "that's to do shelf, to welding, welding I will be a little bit, not very familiar, will be relatively slow."

"OK, in three days, make one." Zhang Qianxiu said.

"Do you want to do it now?" Cao Yaowen asked.

Zhang Qianxiu said, "now go to do it. If you want any materials, tell Xue Gaoyi to buy them immediately."

"Good!" Cao Yaowen didn't waste any time either. He turned around and called Xu Yue's family. They left together.

Zhang Qianxiu doesn't go any more. He stays in the workshop and studies with Su Yuwei what can be improved.

Because just now we were talking about the packaging workshop. Two people went to the packaging workshop to watch the workers work. Sometimes they even started thinking about it by themselves.

After pondering for more than half an hour, Zhang Qianxiu said: "daughter in law, I ponder that I can be an automatic load-bearing one."

"It doesn't matter if the speed is slower. The biscuits don't weigh much. It doesn't take a lot of power to drive the motor. When the time comes, the biscuits will flow down and there will be many slots below. It's like a person's palm. If the weight is enough, it will automatically open the gate, or just like a seesaw. Let the biscuits flow to the assembly line by themselves and the workers will pack them by themselves."

Su Yuwei pondered and nodded: "yes, it shouldn't be very difficult."

Zhang Qianxiu also said: "you can also make an automatic counting. A packet of biscuits is so thick, and the thickness is almost the same. As long as you specify a length, the quantity will not be bad."

"Make a pipe with inclined opening below. The pipe is about the same size as the packed biscuit. The entrance is made into a V-shaped shape. The biscuit will flow down automatically. The V-shaped opening is large, and it will certainly flow in. In the next section, there is no need for electric drive. Anyway, it is inclined opening, and the biscuit will flow down by itself. Just try to make sure that the biscuit is in the same direction."

"It's a bit difficult to make sure the biscuits go in one direction," Su said

Zhang Qianxiu didn't think: "now there are several people packing, and then we can arrange a worker to adjust the position of biscuits on the assembly line to a unified position."

Su Yuwei pondered for a while, said: "that should also be OK, then let Cao Gong do it to try."

Su Yuwei then joked: "you are very good at thinking about these."

Zhang Qianxiu was really energetic at this time: "this is to figure out a thing, which is to save money for himself."

As long as the production efficiency comes up, it is equivalent to doubling the money earned.

Among other things, if the production line was changed just now, Zhang Qianxiu's profits would be much higher.
