Before Niu Xiaobai could respond, Zhang Tiancheng began to list the reasons why single-piece flow could not be implemented at present, one by one:
First, the basis for the implementation of single-piece flow is process balancing. Manager Niu, has our machine shop achieved process balancing now?
Second, single-piece flow requires the production line to be stable and the fluctuations in production orders to be very small to maintain continuous and stable production. Jiang Hui, do you think we can achieve this now?
Third, rapid mold change can shorten the time of line change and mold change. This is a necessary condition for maintaining single piece flow. With our current line change speed, haha!
Fourth, operators must be versatile, which means that one person can adapt to the needs of multiple types of work, which facilitates deployment and management, and can be replaced in time when personnel are absent. With the current level of our operators, this road is still far away!
Fifth, the equipment must be lightweight, simple, and versatile. On this point, I, Zhang Tiancheng, would give Fuma 50 points, right?
Sixth, the leadership’s commitment and the determination of all employees to participate. Everyone here, you can taste it yourself, I won’t go into details.
besides……
Zhang Tiancheng finally concluded: "Obviously, based on the existing conditions of our machine shop, it is impossible for us to successfully run a single-piece flow. Therefore, I do not agree to do this!" After speaking, he sat down and lowered his head.
He was playing with his cell phone.
What makes Zhang Tiancheng feel a little depressed is that unlike the last meeting, this time except for him who has been expressing objections, no one else is echoing him. Zhang Tiancheng wants to find out, these people this time
What's going on? Why is everyone silent?
After listening carefully to Zhang Tiancheng's words, Niu Xiaobai asked Tang Cheng: "Mr. Tang, have you finished measuring the process balance data?"
Tang Cheng murmured: "I've been a little busy these past two days, and I haven't finished testing yet... Moreover, some people on the production line don't seem to be very... willing to cooperate with my work.
..." Tang Cheng turned his attention to Zhang Tiancheng, "So, some data have not been obtained yet..."
Niu Xiaobai shook his head with dissatisfaction, raised his head slightly and closed his eyes. At this time, Anderson's lustful eyes and Dong Xiaoya's eyes filled with tears poured into Niu Xiaobai at the same time.
In Xiaobai's mind...
Niu Xiaobai suddenly opened his eyes, supported the conference table with both hands, looked at everyone with a very serious expression and said: "Dear colleagues, you want to talk about process balancing, but as of now, we don't even have basic data for this! In
In my opinion, why don’t we take action first and then see where there is accumulation? After we discover these bottlenecks, we can then dynamically take measures to improve it? What are we waiting for?! If we continue to think this way, we will stagnate.
If we continue to work in the same way as before, we will never be able to make a breakthrough!"
Having said this, Niu Xiaobai slammed the table: "I have decided, and I will implement it according to my ideas! If there is any problem, we will discuss it again and adjourn the meeting!"
…
After everyone dispersed, Niu Xiaobai sat alone in the conference room and thought. He once heard Leng Shi say: The so-called management actually manages people in the end. To put it more bluntly,
——Management manages people’s hearts.
Recalling Zhang Tiancheng's performance just now, Niu Xiaobai felt very irritable.
Niu Xiaobai once discussed with Leng Shi how to correctly handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates. As a subordinate, when he wants to complete a certain job, if he
If he thinks that the method requested by his leader is not the best and he has a better way, what should he do?
In principle, subordinates must respect and obey the leader's work arrangements; at the same time, they can find opportunities in private to express their ideas tactfully in a soliciting tone to see if the leader can change his mind; if the leader does not adopt his suggestions, the subordinates will also
This work should be completed seriously according to the leadership's requirements;
In another situation, if the leader's request violates the principles, the subordinates should resolutely raise objections; if the leader is still stubborn, the subordinates can report it to the superior leader without hesitation... Obviously, Zhang Tiancheng did not follow this routine.
Card;
For Zhang Rulan's matter, Niu Xiaobai also had a detailed discussion with Zhang Tiancheng. He thought that that very in-depth communication would make him change, but he did not expect that he would still go his own way. His work performance during this period,
Niu Xiaobai felt very dissatisfied both publicly and privately. It seemed that it was time to take some tougher measures.
The psychological blow to Niu Xiaobai this time is actually not small. Because Niu Xiaobai feels that he communicates well with his colleagues in the workplace, and most of his subordinates also think that others are very good. But Niu Xiaobai himself
It must also be admitted that as a manager, he is unqualified: he cares too much about other people's emotions, and is sometimes too accommodating and tolerant to his subordinates, which makes him feel very difficult when doing his work.
Maybe at work, it is necessary to keep a certain distance from your subordinates and create a certain degree of authority. Human nature is like this. Sometimes if you treat him better, you will lose his respect for you. However, even if Niu Xiaobai
Knowing this, it is difficult for him to apply this kind of manipulating technique. Because in Niu Xiaobai's values everyone is equal, and the values in the workplace are different between top and bottom, so... Niu Xiaobai once again thought deeply: I
Should we forge our own path?
Niu Xiaobai also remembered that during a case discussion in the "Organizational Behavior" class, the professor gave such a classic case: when a passerby passed by a construction site, he saw three masons polishing stones.
He walked over and asked everyone: "What are you doing?"
The first mason replied angrily: "I am working to make money and support my family."
The second stonemason pointed at himself with his thumb and said: "I am the best stonemason in the world, and I am polishing the most exquisite stone."
The third mason said very proudly: "We are building the most majestic palace in the world."
When the professor asked who was the best mason among the three, all the students said it was the third one because he had a clear goal, a lofty vision in his heart, and was very clear about what he was working for... For this
There is no dispute among the class about the answer;
And when the professor asked the team composed of these three masons, who is most likely to have the worst performance? Most of the classmates said it was the first mason. The reason everyone gave was: he is short-sighted.
They only care about their own immediate interests and don't care about the team's big goals, etc.
As a result, the professor shook his head and gave a different answer than everyone else. He said that the second mason was more likely to be the worst person in the team because the first mason was more inclined to do his job well.
Work, strictly implement rules and regulations, obey the instructions of superior leaders, and exchange rewards for their honest labor. Such people are common in real life. Although they are unknown, they are the main force in the team.
The second stonemason often thinks that he
He is very smart, good at opportunism, and thinks too highly of his own work ability; he often does not care what kind of stones the team needs, but self-righteously polishes the stones according to his own wishes, showing off what he considers to be a superb polishing level. When others follow
When they have disagreements, this type of person is often prone to adopting extreme methods to resolve the differences.
Obviously, Zhang Tiancheng is now the second stonemason, and his destructive power to the team can be imagined.
Just when Niu Xiaobai lowered his head and thought, the ringtone of his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Dong Xiaoya. After the call was answered, Dong Xiaoya said straight to the point: "Xiaobai, come to my office.
In a moment, I will let you meet an important guest."
"Xiaoya, are you sure you don't want me to watch a soap opera with you this time?"
"Xiaobai, stop making trouble, I'm doing serious business! Come here quickly, I'll give you five minutes, hurry up!" Dong Xiaoya urged on the phone.
…
Dong Xiaoya's office is located on the third floor of the main office building of Fuma Company. Fuma Company did not have a sales department office before, and her office was converted from a small conference room. After the original large conference table was removed,
Dong Xiaoya asked the buyer to buy a set of very small and lightweight office desks and chairs for her. The light blue appearance is quite delicate. The huge fluorescent screen and projector are still on the east wall. This set of equipment
It is often used by Dong Xiaoya to watch romantic soap operas during working hours. It is said that with a pair of high-fidelity earplugs, the viewing effect is quite good.
I don’t know if Chen Wanshi knows about this matter, but Niu Xiaobai knows it very well. Every time he walks to Dong Xiaoya’s office and watches her watching the show with runny nose and tears, Niu Xiaobai will sigh: “Why?
How can those who work in sales be so cool and unrestrained? Why do those who work in production management have such a hard life? Different career choices determine different destinies!"
When Niu Xiaobai walked into Dong Xiaoya's office, he saw Dong Xiaoya, who was wearing a very professional suit and skirt, sitting on a leather sofa and chatting about home affairs with a middle-aged man with a smile. This middle-aged man was estimated to be 1.65 meters tall.
On the left and right, they have a short figure, a round belly, a fair and fat face, and their hair is meticulously styled with hairspray; they are wearing a pair of shiny black leather shoes, a pair of khaki suit pants on the lower body, and a snow-white short-sleeved T-shirt on the upper body.
shirt and a light blue tie around his neck, which makes him look like a successful person.
Seeing Niu Xiaobai walk in, Dong Xiaoya stood up quickly, pointed at Niu Xiaobai and said to the middle-aged man: "Mr. Guo, this is the manager of our machine processing workshop, Mr. Niu Xiaobai. You
The parts to be purchased will be produced by him." After that, she pointed at the middle-aged man and introduced to Niu Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, this is the purchasing director of Hangzhong Defa Trading Co., Ltd.
Guo Mingliang, Mr. Guo."
Guo Mingliang stood up slowly, stretched out a fat hand and shook Niu Xiaobai's hand softly, and said in greeting: "Hello, Manager Niu. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"
Niu Xiaobai quickly responded: "Hello, Mr. Guo, welcome to visit."
Niu Xiaobai noticed that when shaking hands with him, Guo Mingliang's eyes flickered, and his small mung bean-like eyes were turning around, as if he was deliberately avoiding his gaze. Niu Xiaobai secretly wondered, there was something strange
The feeling came to my heart.
"Defa Trading Co., Ltd.? This name sounds familiar." But for a while, Niu Xiaobai couldn't remember where he had heard it.
