Xu Yifan didn't have to wait too long, and soon there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
After getting Xu Yifan's consent, a girl in her twenties, wearing a formal suit and with a beautiful face opened the door and walked in.
"Boss, Manager Zhou of the production department is looking for you."
Lin Wanxia, twenty-two years old, had just graduated from college. She was the secretary that Xu Yifan had personally requested to be assigned to her. She was a beautiful woman who was carefully selected by the human resources department.
Overall, when nothing happens, it looks very pleasing to the eye and makes you feel happy.
Although she only had two stars in the system evaluation, Xu Yifan didn't have much work for her to do. It was enough that she was beautiful and could be responsible for transmitting his words clearly to various departments in the company.
"Let him in." Xu Yifan said calmly.
The door was pushed open and a man in his fifties walked in.
Zhou Fengyan's face was full of excitement: "Director, the production line has been debugged and is ready for use."
"Very good, I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Xu Yifan closed the boring games on the computer and stood up.
"This is our factory's first product. Let's go and have a look."
After walking out of the office, the two of them came to the production workshop in the factory with ease.
This is a very large factory building, filled with large and small equipment. Some employees are currently at their workstations, busy driving screws.
Generally speaking, the manufacturing process of automobile OEMs is divided into four major processes: punching, welding, coating and total.
The first three major processes are in the production of car bodies, and all systems except the car body are responsible for final assembly.
The Jiuzhou Automobile Factory is no exception. However, unlike some large manufacturers that separate their production processes into several factories, the small Jiuzhou Automobile Factory has all its production processes in one factory.
The area is very large. In the rectangular factory building, the four production processes each occupy a quarter of the area.
After entering the door, there are stamping process area and final assembly process area on both sides, followed by welding process area and painting process area.
The production line as a whole presents a concave shape.
In the stamping process area, the stamping equipment will work with the stamping mold to make the sheet metal parts into the shape required by the car body according to the size and precision planned by the engineer, thus preparing for the next step of the welding process.
In this first process, steel materials of different sizes go through the trimming process and are then distributed to various stamping machines.
The flat steel is reshaped by a stamping machine and pressed into various stamped parts on the body, fenders, side panels, doors, hoods, etc.
Each component is transported to the next process through the conveyor belt.
In the welding process area, various body stamping parts are welded into the completed body.
In the welding shop, various body parts are joined together. What completes the work is another key process - welding.
The factory is still too small and the production line equipment is relatively old. In this process, most of the workers weld manually, and only a small part of the process uses machine welding.
After welding, the body already has the general shape of a car, and the next step is the painting process area.
In the painting process area, the car body will undergo electrophoresis anti-rust treatment, and workers will clean the car body surface and check for defects.
The car bodies with no problems are sent to the spray paint room, sprayed with paint by robots, and baked in the dust-free workshop built on the production line.
The painted body enters the final stage with the hook on the production line.
In the final assembly process area, workers first assemble some body parts, suspension links, shock absorbers, brake discs, drive shafts, motors, batteries and other components ordered from supporting manufacturers.
Finally, the chassis with the power system installed is connected to the car shell that has been lifted from the first three processes.
Then install the interior, steering wheel, seats, seat belts, wipers, glass, lights, etc., and a brand new car is officially produced.
At this time, all the workers on the automobile production line are already at work and completing their jobs skillfully.
On one side of the factory, two vehicles have been produced.
These are two white cars, small in shape, compact in body, and only have two doors.
Except for the car logo on the front being replaced by the dragon logo of a Jiuzhou Automobile Factory car, it is almost identical to the later Wuling Hongguang mini!
Arriving next to the two produced vehicles, Xu Yifan got on the vehicle and inspected it carefully, confirming that no problems were found.
After the inspection was completed, Xu Yifan asked Zhou Fengyan next to him: "How is the production now?"
Zhou Fengyan thought for a while and replied: "The production line has restarted, and some employees are new employees. In addition, this car is different from the cars produced before. Many workers are not very skilled yet and can only complete about ten cars a day." output.
However, it only needs a period of running-in, and the production capacity can be increased.
Generally speaking, the annual output of our automobile production line is about 10,000 units.
Normally, more than 30 units can be produced every day. If overtime is worked, the output can be increased. "
Xu Yifan thought about it and nodded: "About ten units per day should be enough.
Now start full-scale production until the three million funds remaining in the company's account are not enough to cover the production costs. "
Zhou Fengyan: "Okay."
"By the way, how much does the product cost?" Although Xu Yifan could easily see it through the system, he still asked.
“In terms of manufacturing costs, because the body is small, there is basically no research and development expenses. The total cost of the low-end version is about 15,000 yuan.
It will be more at first, but as more is produced later, after the cost is amortized, it can be reduced by about one or two thousand yuan. "
The product is not only the production cost, but also the wages of more than a hundred employees in the factory, the purchase and maintenance of equipment, etc.
According to system calculations, the price of each unit is about 17,000, which is enough to ensure no loss. As for making money, the price has to be raised!
"Now that the product has been manufactured, the sales department should get busy."
Saying goodbye to Zhou Fengyan, who was in charge of production, Xu Yifan returned to the office building with Lin Wanxia.
Instructing Lin Wanxia to call everyone in the sales department to the conference room for a meeting, Xu Yifan sat on a chair in the conference room and waited.
Lin Wanxia stepped on her high heels and twisted her waist to leave.
Soon, ten employees from the sales department walked into the conference room.
In the conference room, Xu Yifan sat at the front and asked the employees below: "Our company's new energy vehicle, Jiuzhou Mini, will be officially sold starting tomorrow. The price will be based on the previous pricing, with the lowest price starting from 19,999. , what sales strategies do you have.”
When it comes to his job, sales manager Ji Shenghai, who has been idle for a long time and is ready for all sales, explained the department's general plan in detail.
"We have carefully understood the company's products and are very confident in sales!"
"According to previous plans, the company's stores have been renovated and can be put into use until the products are manufactured."
“At the beginning, we need to build awareness and let everyone know that we are selling this product.
We are going to follow your previous instructions, boss, and the sales staff in front of us will drive our cars to form a fleet on various streets in the city every day.
Driving slowly around crowded places in the city, speakers installed on the roof loop to play relevant sales information.
Then we will carry out test drive activities for interested consumers to experience our products on closed roads under the guidance of salespersons. . . . . . "
Sales department manager Ji Shenghai was recruited to the company's sales department through the human resources department. He is male, 37 years old, and a Samsung talent!
After a long time, Ji Shenghai finished reporting on the sales work he had prepared.
Xu Yifan nodded in agreement. "Very good, let's proceed according to this plan."
After systematic evaluation and sorting out by Xu Yifan, it was found that all departments in the factory were full of experienced people.
The sales department is no exception. Although there is nothing particularly outstanding, there are no particularly big flaws.
