Chapter 53 Unintentional planting willows and willows,
After finishing the list given by Bai Bingchun, Chen Changan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take this list of suppliers back and let the company contact you and arrange it as soon as possible. It's estimated that it will take some time for us to expand the production line."
Bai Bingchun not only listed the parts supply chain, but also listed the CNC machine tools and production lines that Ruikang needs to self-produce.
With the monthly output of 1,000 invasive ventilators as the standard, Ruikang needs to spend about 60 million to purchase production lines, and many production equipment need to be customized by large machinery and equipment manufacturing companies.
The workers on the new production line will also have to recruit another 200 people.
Fortunately, the higher the equipment, the less demand for workers during production. Most of them are automated production. You only need to recruit some technicians who control the production line, as well as workers who are responsible for quality control, manpower handling and other physical work.
Instead of having to hire a bunch of workers like producing sutures, you have to hire a lot of workers to manually produce, and the efficiency is even less efficient.
Now the production of cutting-edge equipment is becoming increasingly automated.
Chen Changan did not plan to continue to waste time in the research institute today. He took the list of suppliers provided by Bai Bingchun and went back to Ruikang's headquarters in Binhai Building, and found Guan Kou and Shang Ning.
"You two take this list of parts suppliers, each leading a team to be responsible for half of the companies on the list, and talk to them about OEM matters. If the drawings we provide involve cutting-edge technology, they must sign a confidentiality contract, and the liquidated damages will be higher."
"After all the negotiations are made, let them try to produce three sets of accessories, and we will do clinical trials first."
It is normal to sign a confidentiality agreement when looking for an OEM to produce parts. In addition, Ruikang will send special monitoring personnel to monitor the entire production process by ensuring that the OEM does not produce more independently.
TSMC and Samsung manufacture A-series chips for Apple every day, and they may not be able to leak secrets. On the one hand, it is the limit on the breach of confidentiality contracts, and on the other hand, Apple has done a good job in its own monitoring process.
Once any company-level leak occurs, the court may be able to fine the OEM factories until bankruptcy and never turn over.
Therefore, the production of each product of major high-tech companies can involve hundreds of OEM factories, but no matter which product, there will be basically no technical leaks.
Even if there is occasional, it is just the personal behavior of some employees and will not have much impact on the company. After all, it is difficult for an employee to master all aspects of the entire production of parts, and it is even more impossible to master the technical secrets of hundreds of parts of a product.
What's more, the two most core technologies are still in Ruikang's own hands.
Chen Changan can find an OEM factory with confidence without any problems.
The production of this ventilator involves more than 50 upstream OEM factories supplying parts. Some of them are used to leak information. Not only can they get much benefit fees, they will be fined by the court until bankruptcy. Why bother?
If you have the skill of leaking secrets, it is better to think more about how to get a few more OEM contracts from Ruikang.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, we will implement it as soon as possible!" Guan Kou stepped forward and took the supplier list in Chen Changan, and took Shang Ning back to his office to divide the tasks.
Chen Changan was not idle either. He called Yang Hui with another call and asked him to be responsible for the factory's expansion of new production lines. After giving him some instructions, Chen Changan passed him a copy of the production equipment that needed to be purchased and asked him to implement the sensor production line and assembly workshop as soon as possible.
After everything is ready, then wait until Guan Kou and the others lead a team to negotiate the details of OEM with suppliers, and then they can first try to produce several finished products, and wait until the control system at the institute is programmed and then write it into the ventilator, and then clinical verification can begin.
Non-invasive ventilators and convenient ventilators are medical devices of Class II and Class I. They only need to meet the quality inspection standards and complete documents and materials to apply for registration certificates, and then they can go to the medical device registration certificate and go to the market for sale.
However, invasive ventilators belong to the third category of medical devices. Although there are similar products on the market, clinical verification of medical devices is also required before approval.
However, clinical verification is still simpler than clinical trial research. You only need to verify the function of the equipment and confirm that it can be used. There are no problems with the use, that's fine.
The next month, the progress was very smooth. Guan Kou and Shang Ning successively negotiated OEM contracts with dozens of suppliers and signed a trial production contract first, but the confidentiality contract has been signed, with a liquidated damages of up to 1 billion!
Although the amount is still much smaller than the $10 billion leak penalty signed by Apple and OEM, 1 billion yuan is enough to make these OEM factories lose all their money.
The expansion of the new production line on Yanghui was also very smooth, because some automation equipment needed to be customized by the machinery manufacturing company, so the various production equipment on the production line has not been in place yet, but it is too soon. It is estimated that all production equipment will be in place in one or two months.
As for the technicians who operate production equipment, Yang Hui also recruited them. He directly dug two groups of technicians from a car company in the manufacturing center of the Gusu Industrial Park.
When it comes to operating fully automatic production equipment, or the best things that car manufacturers can do, the production lines for producing cars are basically completely automated.
Their factory technicians can play with large-scale precision automation production equipment, so it is naturally no problem to control these small automation assembly lines of Ruikang.
It is estimated that in two months, Ruikang's first high-end invasive ventilator will be offline!
For this reason, Chen Changan also gave this ventilator a very good style name. The high-end model is called ae86 and the basic model is rx-7, which is very meaningful.
After taking the code name, Chen Changan still went to the institute every day in the past month and continued his studies.
Although the institute has clearly studied the technical information of the invasive ventilator he provided, this does not mean that they are idle.
Now all the researchers in the institute are responsible for a lot of work. Relying on the technical information of this invasive ventilator, they try to design and develop non-invasive ventilators and turbofan invasive ventilators with slightly simpler technical difficulties.
It is impossible for Ruikang to make only one ventilator product. Next, we must produce our own non-invasive ventilator and convenient ventilator to form a high and low ventilator family. Only in this way can we maximize benefits and make full use of this technical information.
And Chen Changan naturally could not miss this learning opportunity and continued to follow the researchers to learn the basic knowledge of various disciplines and expand his knowledge reserves.
May 11.
As usual, Chen Changan arrived at the institute on time at around 9 o'clock in the morning. After enjoying the breakfast on his desk, he followed the material group again and humbly studied with them.
"Dingling, Dingling."
Chen Changan was looking at a piece of special PVU material that had just been released in the laboratory, and the phone lined on his chest suddenly rang.
He took off his test gloves, took out his cell phone and saw that it was Guan Kou who called him, so he pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Chen, the company's scientific research team has created a new smart stapler according to your requirements!"
"What??"
Chen Changan was stunned for a moment, quickly gave a few instructions, hung up the phone, took off his white coat, hurriedly left the research institute, and rushed to the company's factory.
Chapter completed!
