Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

"Mr. Cao, our battery division has now started a double shift mode. Although the equipment delivery cycle is one or two months later than in previous years, it is still relatively fast in the entire industry."

"Especially compared with imported equipment, the cycle is at least three months faster, and some equipment is even faster than half a year."

Pan Jinxing knew that Cao Yang knew a lot about equipment and attached great importance to the development of the equipment industry.

The status of Nanshan Equipment in the country has been continuously improved in recent years, which is inseparable from Cao Yang's attention.

Nowadays, there are many orders for battery equipment, and Pan Jinxing naturally does not want anything to happen.

"The current battery technology is also advancing very fast, and both the battery cells and modules are changing very quickly."

"After investing in some battery production lines, they can only produce products of one specification."

"If the specifications are to be changed, the production line will need to be modified to meet the requirements."

"This situation should have become a headache for many battery manufacturers."

"Is it possible for us to improve the flexibility of the equipment so that a battery production line can produce several specifications of batteries without modification?"

"In this way, even if the investment amount in the production line increases, many battery manufacturers should be very interested."

Cao Yang had just communicated with Lin Cheng about the situation of the battery industry this year, and now he was talking to Pan Jinxing about the production of battery equipment, which was naturally targeted.

The equipment industry is inherently special, and various types of equipment have a certain degree of independence.

To engage in flexible production, the requirements for equipment are the highest.

But this is indeed the general trend and must be done.

If Nanshan Equipment doesn't do it today, maybe other manufacturers will start doing it tomorrow.

When the horse stumbles and is overtaken in a curve, it will be more embarrassing.

Cao Yang does not expect that one production line can produce all types of batteries, but it can at least have a certain degree of flexibility, allowing it to produce several types of batteries when switching some parameters.

This can greatly reduce the risk of battery factory investment and reduce the risk of Nanshan Battery receiving some new orders.

After all, not every customer is willing to use the standard products recommended by Nanshan Battery.

"I will arrange for people to communicate with Nanshan Battery about this aspect of the work, and see what degree of flexibility can be achieved to maximize the comprehensive advantages."

Cao Yang has already said that, and Pan Jinxing will definitely implement it.

However, the battery production line is so long, how to make it a production line with flexible production is still very particular.

If one is not good, the money is spent too much, but it does not achieve the desired effect, which is a pity.

“The equipment we produce must be flexible, and similarly, the production lines of our production equipment must be as flexible as possible.”

"The efficiency of manual work alone is too low, large-scale assembly line production requires large investments, and the production capacity utilization rate is low."

"How to find a compromise solution needs to be carefully considered."

One of the important reasons why the delivery cycle of equipment is often long is that the production efficiency of the parts used in the equipment is not that high.

Therefore, unless it is a general-purpose equipment produced in advance, the cycle of customized equipment is often relatively long.

For some special equipment, the delivery cycle can be as long as two years or even three years.

Of course, for Cao Yang, any equipment with a delivery cycle of more than one year is difficult to accept.

Especially in the face of the very fast-changing Chinese market, investment in new factories needs to be as fast as possible.

Otherwise, the market will change faster, and by the time your factory is put into production, the world will have changed.

"Mr. Cao, you got to the crux of the problem right away."

"Like other industrial products, there are certain standards for how to judge whether to invest in a large-scale automated production line, a small-scale production line, or a manual line, or it is easier to make a judgment."

"But the equipment we produce will basically not be in particularly high demand within a certain cycle."

"In addition to some general-purpose machine tools, many other equipment are customized."

"This means that many of our parts are not suitable for mass production."

"But some parts are certainly universal. We need to consider the overall demand when arranging production. We can also consider mass-producing a batch and then using them as inventory."

"How to grasp the degree of this is a relatively big problem."

"I plan to set up a special research group with the School of Management of Lingnan University of Technology to let everyone study some of the relationships here and find the best management methods."

With the development of Nanshan Equipment, in addition to constantly researching new technologies and new equipment, improvement in management obviously also needs to be put on the agenda.

Traditional management methods can no longer fully meet current needs.

Pan Jinxing is relatively clear about this, and Cao Yang can also understand this.

Although the management method is a relatively fictitious existence, no one can deny its importance.

The ultimate effect of a good management plan and good managers may not be smaller than that of a major technological breakthrough.

"This idea is okay. Study it carefully and determine some methods as soon as possible."

"It's okay to take this opportunity to sort out the organizational structure and management methods of the entire Nanshan Equipment and find some shortcomings."

Foreign monks can chant sutras.

Sometimes, problems within the company are not invisible to everyone, but it is very difficult to change them.

On the one hand, existence is reasonable. If you want to change an existing management plan, it will definitely touch some vested interests, so many people are not willing to be the bad guy.

On the other hand, you pointed out the old problem, so there must be no problem with the new method?

If the changes become more chaotic, wouldn't someone have to take the blame?

For various reasons, it is often difficult for enterprises to innovate themselves.

Why do many large companies like to hire outside consulting companies to handle matters? Of course, there are experienced factors involved, but outsiders are asked to boldly help provide opinions, point out problems, or use outsiders to implement some tasks. Managing change is also a very important reason.

Lingnan University of Technology has a close relationship with companies in the Nanshan Department, and many professors’ research projects are related to companies in the Nanshan Department.

Find them to cooperate with. On the one hand, the professional level is decent. On the other hand, the graduate students and doctoral students in the school are more courageous and dare to speak out when they see problems.

Although the experience is not as good as that of people from consulting companies, Nanshan Equipment sometimes needs outsiders to point out problems.

As for specific solutions, they can actually be found through internal discussions.

Since Pan Jinxing was already dealing with this matter, Cao Yang didn't say anything more specific.
