Shoemaking Enterprises: From Conflict To Recognition

In the eyes of Zhou Zhongmao, deputy general manager of Jordan sports Limited by Share Ltd shoe business center, the so-called "intellectualization" is not simply using some intelligent machines instead of labor, but a systematic project covering all aspects of design, research and development, production and logistics.

Only in this way can we shorten the process and achieve the goal of reducing manpower and shortening working hours.

"We have to design more than 300 shoes in one month, and every shoe has to go through dozens of processes from large to small in terms of research and development. From the current technology, it is difficult to achieve comprehensive" intelligence ". Intelligent equipment can only be applied to some relatively simple processes, such as needle trains,

Cutting,

And so on, often rely on labor.

Zhou Zhongmao thinks, for shoemaking enterprises, intelligent upgrading needs to consider the cost and benefit problems. At present, the price of intelligent mechanical equipment is generally high in the market, which is not suitable for the diversified and low volume shoe enterprises. Only the enterprises with large output and relatively fixed technology will have the effect.

Some intelligent machines are expensive.

On the one hand, on the other hand, the limitations of employees' inherent thinking will also block the advancement of intelligence.

When XTEP just introduced smart devices, many front-line employees and even some management were in conflict.

The reason is simple: they have been very familiar with the operation of traditional equipment; they must spend more time adapting to new equipment.

During the period of adaptation, the advantages of intelligent devices in capacity can not be fully reflected.

For the front-line employees who generally use piecework methods to calculate salaries, this means a direct reduction in income.

"Employees are not accustomed to the operation, and the effect is not obvious at the beginning, etc., so that management doubts whether it is necessary to invest so much money on these machines.

Many people even clamour for the original equipment.

Thinking of the first scene, Dai Yong smiled helplessly.

In order for employees to be convinced, Dai Yong arranged two groups of employees to produce the same products with two devices for testing.

A month later, the workers who used intelligent equipment not only stopped complaining, but also made more than 1000 yuan of wages than the employees of the traditional equipment group.

"Getting employees to get tangible benefits is more useful than chanting slogans."

Dai Yong said, "for enterprises, savings are real labor costs, and efficiency is enhanced, win-win!"

Although it is the trend of the times, for local shoe making enterprises, intelligent upgrading can not be achieved overnight.

In the process of intelligent pformation, they will also encounter various difficulties.
