Chapter 2282 The Waste Rate Cannot Exceed 0/3!
"The boss is back." Hu Zhibiao came and was waiting for Yang Fei in the living room. When he saw Yang Fei walking in, he stood up and smiled.
"Lao Hu!" Yang Fei said with a smile, "You came just in time. Let's have a drink together tonight."
"Okay, boss." Hu Zhibiao said, "I have two things to report to you."
"Say it."
"Regarding the product failure rate, I wrote a review and asked the boss to review it." Hu Zhibiao said, actually took out a copy of the material and handed it to Yang Fei.
Yang Fei was surprised: "You don't have to be so serious, right?"
"Yes, yes." Hu Zhibiao said, "Who told me that I didn't manage the company well! Even though the boss didn't punish me for such a big thing, I still understood it in my heart. This review must be written. Boss, please do this. The group is open to the public and has strict discipline.”
Yang Fei took it, took a look, and said with a smile: "Forget it if you write it. There is no need to make it public. What else is there?"
Hu Zhibiao said: "We acquired an electronic processing factory in the first half of the year. It's been almost half a year and we are still losing money."
"Oh?" Yang Fei became excited and asked, "Was this company losing money before the acquisition?"
"Yes, otherwise they wouldn't sell it to us."
"It's been half a year and you still haven't found the crux?"
"The cost is high, but we have been controlling the cost, but it is still high."
"Which factory?"
"It was a joint venture factory left by the British. The Chinese investors were unable to continue due to losses, so they left. We took over."
"I understand. The current management staff are still from the British side, right?"
"Yes, they are actually quite rigorous in doing things, but for some reason, the factory is losing money."
Yang Fei said: "Did you bring the report? Let me take a look."
"I have brought the financial statements for the past six months and asked my boss to review them."
"I remember, this factory is controlled by us, right? The British side only holds 36% of the shares."
"Yes. The boss has a really good memory."
You know, Yang Fei is the manager of the entire group. He has no idea how many companies, factories, and branches he has, and he doesn’t know how many branch companies and factories he has to acquire or sell every year. He has to remember the specific situation of each factory. Indeed, It's more difficult.
Yang Fei looked at the report and asked, "Is cost control so difficult?"
"Every indicator item exceeds the cost by 5% to 15%. This is a low-profit industry, and if the cost exceeds this much, how can there be money to be made?"
Yang Fei pondered: "Looking at it this way, you can't tell. It's best to go to the factory and have a look. It's still early, let's take a walk!"
"Okay, boss. I'll go with you." Hu Zhibiao stood up.
Yang Fei said to Chen Mo: "Let's prepare dinner at home first, and invite Mr. Jiang to come over to eat with us. Let's have a small gathering in the evening and open two bottles of good wine."
Chen Mo responded.
As soon as Yang Fei got home, he went out again before he even had time to finish a cup of tea.
“After the initial acquisition, we felt that the British management staff should be good.
So there are no changes. "Hu Zhibiao said, "After the assessment, their scores are also very high. "
Yang Fei said: "If there is no problem with the management staff, then where is the problem?"
"The British managers all use computers to control raw materials. All procedures, including the purchase of factory ingredients, are also strictly calculated by computers. How many vegetables need to be bought and how many meals need to be cooked every day are very accurate."
"Really?" Yang Fei smiled, "In this case, corruption should be very difficult."
"All income and expenditure are transparent, and it is difficult for anyone who wants to commit corruption. Moreover, we also have managers who supervise every expenditure."
"Since it is so strict, why can't the cost be reduced? We are not the only one making this kind of product. Since others can make money from it, shouldn't we be able to do the same?"
"Management is a very advanced science. So not everyone can do business. I have made losses before. I made a lot of money, but in the end I still lost money."
Yang Fei said: "That's true. Management methods are very important."
Upon arriving at the factory, Yang Fei immediately had an in-depth and detailed understanding of the entire management system.
Indeed, as Hu Zhibiao said, the British managers of this factory worshiped computers and controlled everything accurately through computers.
In the computer, all income and expenditure are clear at a glance, and there are no flaws when the reports are printed.
But in the final reckoning, it was still a loss.
In the impression of the world, the management level of developed countries such as the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom is naturally world-class. In terms of corporate management, these countries also regard themselves as the boss.
Yang Fei looked at the data in the computer and found no problems.
If there was a problem in the computer, it would have been discovered long ago.
Yang Fei called together the heads of major departments such as the factory's personnel, finance, and production managers, and asked about some actual situations.
Between asking and answering, Yang Fei quickly discovered the problem.
"How many employees are there? Say it again."
"Eight hundred and seventeen people."
"Do we need so many people?" Yang Fei asked, "How many shifts are there now? How long is each shift?"
"Three shifts. Eight hours each."
"Can all production tasks be completed?"
"Easy done."
"The more you complete, the more you lose?"
"..."
Yang Fei said: "There are too many people! Reduce the number to two hundred!"
"Two hundred?" The HR manager was surprised.
Yang Fei said: "For such a small factory, two hundred people are enough. Many positions can be held concurrently. Foreigners like fine management and divide all work into very detailed parts. They can do this abroad, but it doesn't work in our country!"
"Why, boss?"
"Because foreign products are expensive! And our products are often sold at only one-fifth of theirs, so our costs must also be controlled at about one-fifth of theirs to make a profit. The biggest cost is labor expenses. So, you must cut the number of workers, two hundred will be enough!"
The HR manager said: "I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower."
"Afraid? I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? I tell you to do it, and you do it!"
"Yes, boss. Then the workers' work intensity must be increased. What if they don't want to stay?"
"More than 800 people, only one-quarter will stay. I think there will always be people willing to stay, right? For those who are willing to stay, the basic salary will be increased by 10%. Those who are unwilling can leave, and we are just going to lay off employees!"
"Okay, boss." The HR manager didn't dare to talk back.
The basic salary is not high, even if it is increased by 10%, it is not much, but it can give employees a kind of motivation. After all, it is a salary increase, and the increase is still considerable!
Yang Fei said to the production manager: "I have taken a look, and the raw material waste rate of several departments is high! I don't care what method you use, you must control the waste rate of raw materials below 3%! If it exceeds 3%, you will be unqualified!"
"Boss," said the production manager, "the raw materials are all controlled by computers by the British..."
Yang Fei waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't mention computers to me! If computers are omnipotent, what do I ask you people to do with your brains? Specific things need to be analyzed specifically! Computers are intelligent, but they are dead things! The people who do things below are also people! Computers can calculate, but they can't calculate human nature! So, you must prescribe the right medicine and control the cost for me! The waste rate cannot exceed 3%, this is my bottom line!"
