"Cost Office" Specializes In Wasting The Economy Of Zhejiang Enterprises And Starting From Saving Money.

Chen Xiaoqing, a brush worker in Yongjia Industrial Park of AOKANG group, has worked in this production line for nearly 3 years. She is a skilled worker, but she is more careful than usual.

Because the company recently issued a new regulation: each pair of shoes brush must be controlled at 20~25 grams of standard glue; if workers exceed this standard, they must pay for the excess glue.

"How much you want to brush before is completely based on experience and feeling. Now you can't be so casual."

Chen Xiaoqing said that her wages were calculated on the basis of parts. After having this standard, she was a little unaccustomed at first and slowed down.

Now it is the peak season. She can brush more than 200 pairs of shoes in the day.

A pair of shoes will save 20% Jiao. Chen Xiaoqing and his colleagues are responsible for gluing the soles, using PU glue brush. Each worker is different in the way they brush their glue. The difference between each pair of shoes is a few grams of glue, even though it is only a few cents.

However, such a few cents, the company is also very "real", "cost office" staff repeated testing, standardized operation.

"Don't look at such a small action, it will affect a lot of expenses."

Fan Manru, manager of production department of AOKANG shoes manufacturing Co., said that PU glue rose from 19 yuan / kg to 21 yuan per kilogram at the beginning of the year. According to the output of the company, the price of light PU glue increased, and the company would spend more than fifty thousand or sixty thousand yuan per quarter.

After the introduction of the standard, the amount of brushing glue dropped from 30 grams per pair of shoes to 20 grams to 25 grams, saving more than 20%.

Since the beginning of this year, the production cost of shoes and metal fittings has increased by nearly 20% compared with last year.

To this end, the cost of AOKANG shoe company will cost more than 100 million yuan.

Similar production standards have been set up by them. According to the estimation, after a standardized production, the average cost of one pair of shoes can be reduced by about 1%, and AOKANG can save about 3000000 yuan in one year.

In order to avoid unnecessary wastage, AOKANG shoes company has set up a "cost office" in the first half of this year, which is responsible for finding waste in the production process, such as waiting for waste, waste in pportation, waste of defective rate, waste of processing, waste of unnecessary action, waste of inventory, excessive production waste, shortage of goods and so on.

In order to solve these wastes, they refined the index to each item of raw and auxiliary materials, and launched the training of employees' cost control skills.

"The company wants to make profits, so we can't have no sense of cost control."

Wang Micheng, President of Hongyan Electric Company, has the same feeling. For this reason, the company has set up a cost management center and a purchasing center.

Recently, a detailed cost management manual covering product life cycle has been basically completed, and strive to control costs from every link and detail.

In addition to management tapping potential, the source of procurement is also closely watched by manufacturing enterprises.

For example, the relevant purchasing department of Hongyan Electric Company is responsible for searching information on the Internet everyday, as an analysis basis for deciding important matters such as raw material purchase.

They will always have millions of money in their hands, ready to purchase.

AOKANG has adopted a model called "futures purchase", such as mid July, and forecast the price of leather materials through the information of manufacturers and collects. AOKANG bought 50 thousand feet of leather materials in advance to reserve, and saved a cost of more than tens of thousands of dollars at once.

"For many manufacturing enterprises in the over competitive industry in Zhejiang, the continuous rise of factor costs can hardly be converted to continuous and significant increase in terminal commodity prices. The key is whether the speed of enterprise labor productivity improvement and the efficiency of management can win the cost increase."

Ma Jinlong, an economist in Wenzhou, said.

The cost control personnel are popular.

This year, there are many lists of cost control talents.

Hangzhou Hunter Human Resources Development Co., Ltd. told reporters that just this month, such a list received more than ten sheets.

"Manufacturing enterprises require the introduction of cost control of the largest number of talents."

Xiaofang, a headhunter, has just succeeded in excavating an internal control talent of a Taiwan funded enterprise to a manufacturing enterprise of mechanical and electrical equipment in our province.

After the job hopping, the annual salary of the talented person has increased by nearly thirty thousand.

Like many other manufacturing enterprises, this enterprise has been affected by various unfavorable factors this year, and the profit margins of enterprises have been getting lower and lower.

Internal control is a kind of financial personnel.

According to Xiaofang, the cost control of many private enterprises in our province is relatively extensive, and in the cost intensive control of Taiwan funded enterprises and some foreign-funded enterprises, there are often good internal management processes, and financial personnel are divided into cost management, procurement management, budget management and so on. Logistics management is also very scientific, virtually saving a lot of costs.

Some enterprises seeking expansion are also interested in cost control talents.

Like a fast chain hotel, this year it plans to expand its Fasthotel to 15, requiring headhunting companies to hunt for a chief financial controller who is proficient in cost control.

"The cost of control is too important for Fasthotel, so we are willing to pay a big price to finance experts."
