AOKANG: Lean Production To Reduce Costs Seven Mm Shoe Skin To Extract Tens Of Millions Of Yuan

When producing the upper, seven mm Lippi is cut off. The details are not only easier to bond, but also save 0.35 yuan for each pair of shoes.

In the face of the increasingly severe economic situation, AOKANG group has been implementing "new recruit" and pursuing lean production details since the beginning of this year. Through "seven millimeter shoe leather" and "five grams of rubber shoes", the company has been able to "get" tens of millions of dollars a year.

The shoemaking industry is a labor-intensive industry. Every tiny waste in the production process, multiplied by the huge output base, will cause huge waste.

In order to cope with the increasing cost pressures of enterprises, AOKANG group has set up new cost offices, technology pfer departments and other institutions this year, specializing in finding and eliminating waste in the production process.

Through in-depth internal investigation, the cost department staff found that there are eight wastes in the production process, such as waiting for waste, waste in pportation, waste of defective rate, waste of processing, unnecessary waste of action, waste of inventory, excessive production waste and shortage of goods.

In view of these diseases, AOKANG group began to implement the "lean production" mode, starting from each process, formulating new production standards, strictly controlling production costs and reducing unnecessary losses.

According to Huang Zhiwen, director of cost department, the implementation of lean production is to eliminate details and waste through standardized operation.

For example, for example, the shoe brush is used for each worker. The average amount of shoes per brush is 30 grams for each worker.

At the cost office, the employees were repeatedly tested and standardized. The standard size of each pair of shoes brush must be controlled between 20 and 25 grams.

If a worker exceeds this standard, he must pay the bill himself.

After the introduction of the standard, the amount of brush consumption is over 20%.

It is estimated that, after standardized production and detailed treatment, the production cost of one pair of shoes can be saved by about 1%. After a year, the annual production cost of AOKANG shoe production base is expected to exceed 10 million yuan.

At the same time, the implementation of lean production has greatly improved the efficiency of workers.

The statistics provided by the group in the first 9 months of this year show that after the implementation of lean production, the average working efficiency of the 2300 employees of AOKANG shoes manufacturing Co., Ltd. has increased by 5% and the production cycle has also been shortened by 1/3.

Ma Jinlong, President of Wenzhou Economic Association and professor of City College of Wenzhou University, said that the competition of enterprises is ultimately cost competition.

Facing the current economic situation, AOKANG's lean production mode has important reference and promotion significance for Wenzhou private enterprises, which still remain in extensive production mode and production costs are rising.

Benefit from a drop in the bucket

In economics, there is a famous case: Rockefeller, the oil magnate, found that the number of solder drops dropped by 39 drops per rotation during the welding process of the oil tank lid.

So he began to think about whether he could reduce the flux by one or two drops and save the cost.

After a lot of painstaking research, he really developed a "38 drop" welding machine, which saved millions of dollars per year for the company.

Now, this story is reinterpreted in AOKANG.

Perhaps, for a large enterprise with an annual output value of billions of dollars, seven millimeter shoe leather and five grams of shoe glue are "a drop in the bucket".

However, once multiplied by the huge output base, it means millions of dollars or even tens of millions of dollars.

Since the beginning of this year, economic development has been encountering a cold spell. Many private enterprises in our city suffer from the pressure of rising costs of raw materials and human resources.

However, many enterprises still remain in the extensive traditional production mode. There is a huge waste of resources in the production process: the production equipment is idling, the backward production technology is in use, and there are huge waste of manpower, electricity and venues.

The waste of production details is very serious, which directly increases the production cost of enterprises and reduces the economic benefits.

Facing the difficulties on the way forward, if we can also rely on lean production, such as AOKANG and Rockefeller, to waste every detail in declaring war, and "dry the last drop of towel", then reducing costs and increasing efficiency is still promising.

In fact, reducing costs and increasing efficiency lies in every corner, every link and every nuance of every job.

In this familiar nuance, there is a huge unknown benefit that we have not yet excavated.
