The competition for large factories came to an end. Gao Jianwu did not wait. Instead, he presided over the introduction of a new management and assessment system for subordinate enterprises, institutionalizing the selection mechanism and assessment of enterprise managers.
The first batch of 20 factories is now the first batch of pilot projects. If successful, it will be extended to enterprises in the base area.
Especially for old factories and newly built factories with poor efficiency, Gao Jianwu, as the competent department, cannot watch someone occupy the position without creating value.
Now that the foundation is so bad, he can't tolerate anyone's corpse.
After a large-scale adjustment of the factory's management, sure enough, when these professional managers took over, they began to carry out all-round rectification and improvement of product production and product quality according to Gao Jianwu's requirements. They had been working in these industries for many years, although Gao Jianwu The new production line introduced is also something completely new to them.
However, they have something in common in terms of management, especially respect for technical personnel. These professionals are completely different from the original management team, and there is no difficulty in cooperating with them. Therefore, they quickly and resolutely solved the product problem in less than a month after taking office. Standardized production issues in the production process and began to produce products of qualified quality on a large scale.
Faced with such a result, even those with the biggest opinions in each base area now have no opinions.
The result is just there. Is there any objective reason you can find?
Gao Jianwu also breathed a sigh of relief. He must know that this batch of enterprises is the basis for his next development. If he can't figure out where he will make money to further expand production.
These factories are his cash cow, and he can make money from them in the short term.
After the production capacity began to enter the regular production rhythm, Gao Jianwu started with food and carried out sales promotion in the domestic market. Although this batch of products used imported production lines from abroad, the amortization cost was relatively high. It is reasonable to say that the cost is the same as that of some small products. The factory is higher.
However, in terms of pricing, Gao Jianwu did not refer to the prices of imported products in the international market for domestic pricing. Instead, he benchmarked the prices of the leading brands in the domestic food industry.
This ensures a certain profit and at the same time allows everyone to obtain international quality food, which is built in the direction of domestic mid-to-high-end consumer brands.
In terms of promotion, Gao Jianwu asked the sales side to carry out large-scale trial promotions in major cities in the country. With solid product quality, he quickly won the trust of mid-to-high-end consumers in the city.
Large-scale sales began to form in the domestic market, and other industrial products began to be introduced to the market. The group started a series of domestic mid-to-high-end brand layouts proposed by Gao Jianwu.
His goal is very clear. Now domestically, he will compete with imported foreign brands and take back the domestic market space from foreign brands.
This is the first small goal.
The next small goal is to enter the international market, launch our products, and occupy the mainstream market share.
The first small goal seems easy to achieve, but the second goal is difficult. The food industry, in the domestic market, is basically in a state of relative hunger, and the lack of suitable products is to fill the gap.
However, in the current domestic market space, because there are too many absolutely poor families, there are really not too many families with real spending power. Gao Jianwu's original goal in this wave of operations is to focus on the second one.
The domestic market space is limited, and Gao Jianwu does not expect to create much sales in the country. After all, foods such as canned food and biscuits are considered high-end consumption in the country. Gao Jianwu's purpose in the domestic market is to create a new brand that can compete with international brands.
Used to verify products and squeeze out foreign brands.
Under this premise, the sales of food factories are mainly targeted at limited large cities in China.
Relatively speaking, the construction of channels is relatively simple. Build sales agents in big cities, and then through this sales end, advertise in urban newspapers and radios and promote on the ground to urban department stores. This matter is basically solved.
As for generating hits, in this era when television doesn’t even exist, there aren’t many methods that can be adopted. This still needs time to settle slowly.
So in this regard, Gao Jianwu's assessment indicator is to investigate the real experience of purchasing users. He does not ask food factories to do this work, but sets up a professional third-party investigation agency!
This third-party investigation agency is not just for food products, but covers most of the products currently produced. Gao Jianwu needs to see what customers' experience is with the products.
At this point in time, no one cares about customer experience, because most products are now in shortage, and it seems good to have something to buy.
But Gao Jianwu knew that he would soon enter an era of product explosion. Without improving product quality in advance, it would be difficult to create a product brand with a century-old reputation.
If it is a future-oriented market competition, if we don’t do it now, it will be too late when the era of commodity explosion arrives.
German and Japanese goods were once popular all over the world. The fact that two small countries were able to become the world's second largest economic empire was not just due to the hard work of their citizens.
It is more about their pursuit of product quality. They have spent decades constantly updating product quality, and finally formed a subconscious understanding around the world that the products produced in this country are of high quality. These are the results of decades of continuous improvement. .
Relatively speaking, in Gao Jianwu's own time and space, due to the greed of some people, some fake and shoddy products were exported abroad, causing our country to become synonymous with fake and shoddy products for a period of time!
Not to mention the inability to establish a brand, the reputation of the entire country's products has been completely ruined by them.
Now that Gao Jianwu has the opportunity to be in charge of industrial products, he certainly will not let such a thing play out.
So regarding the new factory this time, Gao Jianwu was dissatisfied on the one hand that the new batch of factory directors were unprofessional and had no scientific knowledge of product production. He even decided to take this opportunity to instill quality awareness in advance. For products that meet the specifications, resolutely say no!
Let the business people in the base area learn a lesson with a comprehensive overhaul of the factory management level!
Gao Jianwu did this in such a big way, which not only formed a comprehensive deterrent in the new factories, but also saw the results of not paying attention to product quality in the old factories, and began to comprehensively control the product quality of their own factories.
Before Gao Jianwu took action against them, they started to conduct comprehensive self-examination and self-correction one by one.
According to rumors, the Ministry of Industry is about to launch a testing and assessment mechanism for the overall operation management and product quality management of enterprises directly under the ministry and base areas. At that time, the leadership who failed the assessment will be comprehensively cleared!
Although this news has not yet been officially released, it has already spread all over the world.
There is no doubt that the source lies with Gao Jianwu. This was a rumor he deliberately let out. Because for an old factory, Gao Jianwu knew that there were many limitations of objective conditions when it was established.
Therefore, Gao Jianwu of these old factories does not want to catch them and deal with them. Instead, he spreads the word first and gives them three months to half a year to conduct self-examination and self-correction. If they can make reasonable reforms to their factories and product quality, major problems can be solved. Part of the problem, then even if these people still have some flaws, he decided to give them the opportunity to grow.
After all, they are in the start-up stage, which makes a significant contribution to the construction and development of these factories.
In order to enable these people to seize the key points for reform, Gao Jianwu asked people to sort out the early product quality inspection standards for heavy industry, five small factories, military industry and other industries, and publish this standard. At the same time, he also asked people to sort out the factory process and the current newly built Factory process management requirements.
In this way, old factories can compare these two standards or requirements to find gaps and deficiencies.
Seize the last window of time to improve and optimize.
After drastic rectifications in the early stage, a sufficient deterrent force has been formed. Gao Jianwu's strong style in factory reform has caused many of the heroes of the new factories to be returned to their original places, without any human feelings at all.
This inspired most of the leadership of the entire factory in the base area to cheer up and start making improvements in full swing.
"No heavy hammers are needed for drums. If they can self-optimize and improve, they can realize the standardization of process flow and product quality control. For us, this is a good opportunity for comprehensive improvement." Gao Jianwu heard the following feedback from all over the country Work hard to make changes according to the new standards.
I couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
After all, these factories have not been established for a long time. The earlier ones may be three or four years old, and most of them were actually established in the last one or two years.
Corporate inertia has not yet penetrated deep into the bone marrow. From this point on, reform is actually just right and relatively easy to correct.
If you wait seven or eight years later, many people will have formed an inertia. Not only will it be difficult to get back, but it will be very troublesome even if the management wants to move.
Nowadays, there are not that many people in the management. Generally, the smaller ones only have one factory director and one organization representative, and there is not even a deputy factory director. Most factories also have few departments. Only one finance department may have a department of two or three people, and the rest Management has been delegated to the workshop.
There are very few levels of management and personnel.
After all, we have to deal with war, so we can save manpower in the factory.
After the war is completely over, these things will become troublesome. A large number of cadres need to be resettled, and the leadership positions on the government side are also limited. Government agencies cannot arrange them, and the excess cadres can only be arranged in factories. These ordinary people feel more relaxed and peaceful. A place with good benefits.
Soon the entire enterprise was bloated, not to mention the unlimited supporting facilities surrounding the enterprise, such as primary schools, hospitals, kindergartens, ancillary stores, canteens, guest houses, etc. It is purely about building a new independent small society.
Gao Jianwu is well aware of the shortcomings of this system, and now he is completely avoiding it from the root.
Therefore, when the factory was opened, the local base government had already made supporting plans for the factory, and the current location of the factory did not allow it to choose to exist independently in a place where birds can't shit.
The factory's housing, food, clothing, housing and transportation all rely on the local base government to undertake supporting work, including the construction of accommodation buildings, which are the assets of the local government.
Of course, when building these supporting facilities, Gao Jianwu also took into account the local financial and material resources and provided support to the local area with supporting funds for building factories.
Since the land collected by the collective in this era does not count, the labor cost is only for workers’ food and accommodation, and the cost of building housing is only the material fee. The factory’s worker accommodation building is based on the standard worker dormitory with 8 rooms with high and low beds, which is relatively complete. This is quite economical.
After the construction is completed, the factory will pay a certain amount of housing rent to the local government according to the room, which will be used to make up for the resources invested by the government in housing. As a long-term financial resource for the local area, it can maintain housing maintenance and management, and part of the balance can be used to build kindergartens and schools. these supporting facilities.
Therefore, in addition to the canteen, the factory manages itself. Gao Jianwu cut off all other social functions when planning the factory.
In this way, the leaders at the factory will devote all their efforts to the production and operation of the company and will not be interfered with by messy social functions.
It has to be said that Gao Jianwu's plan was quite successful. Since the factory had a single function at the beginning, there were not many leadership positions in the factory. Now the local government in the base area has not put its thoughts on the factory, so the operation of the factory is less affected by local interference. few.
According to Gao Jianwu's further plan, the factory will be separately managed as an enterprise from now on, with vertical leadership. If the scale of the factory expands to the point where it cannot be managed directly by the Ministry of Industry, group management will begin.
When it comes to large enterprises that basically guarantee the national economy and people's livelihood, we should try our best to conglomerate them into state-owned and private enterprises. The Ministry of Industry vertically manages these large conglomerates to ensure centralized utilization of resources and avoid duplication of construction and disorderly competition.
For example, enterprises such as military industry, heavy industry, and key export-oriented light industry require large investments, high technical requirements, and complex management. Such enterprises are professionally managed by the Ministry of Industry.
If they are only local small and medium-sized enterprises, the private mode will be liberalized to achieve full market competition. The state-owned part can take shares and pay dividends, but will not intervene in management. It will only send people to monitor and audit to ensure that assets are not lost and fulfill its shareholder responsibilities. .
This is a mechanism that has been verified in Gao Jianwu's time and space. If it had been implemented decades in advance, the shortcomings would have been corrected earlier and the optimization would have been better.
Gao Jianwu piloted and guided these at the beginning, and now at least the operation in Jinyang is very good, whether it is Jinyang Heavy Industry, Jinyang Iron and Steel, Jinyang Fertilizer, Jinyang Machinery Factory, Jinyang Coal Industry and other large-scale group enterprises that have grown up.
Even the five small businesses in the Ping'an base area have now grown to the point where each has more than a thousand employees, and they are considered to be numerous enterprises in Shanxi.
Although the geographical area is not very good and the resources are not good enough, the mechanism is flexible enough, which makes the company very dynamic. In addition, with Sanosuke Yamashita establishing the company's sales channels, Ping An Enterprise's product sales have always been no problem, and it has also built Ping An Manufactured word-of-mouth brand.
The success of this pilot is one of the fundamental reasons why Gao Jianwu is still able to control the overall situation in industrial development.
After all, the old man said that practice is the criterion for testing everything! These tangible achievements, even though Gao Jianwu left Ping An and Jinyang for so long and barely paid attention to them, they still maintain a strong development momentum and vitality.
