Chapter 91 Assembly Line Operations
Under such difficult circumstances, through everyone's joint efforts, the situation has gradually improved.
The night school training was very successful and the students who participated were very enthusiastic. They couldn't wait to go on the assembly line and show their talents.
Once the machine starts running, each process is carried out step by step, according to the preset process, and everyone does their job well.
The machines are running at a high speed, and people's movements are harmonious and coordinated, orderly and seamless.
On the conveyor belt of the assembly line, the work of the previous link has just been completed, and the work of the next link has just started.
The design of the equipment is ingenious. From a distance, the entire workshop looks like a precise machine in operation. The scene is grand and spectacular.
Seeing this scene, Su Qing's eyes were filled with tears. She felt proud that her long-term efforts had not been in vain. She gained greater confidence that she did not give up under such difficult circumstances.
Lu Xingchen was also not idle. He was directing several villagers from Kengkou Village to unload and load onto the shelves the two large truckloads of silkworm cocoon production materials brought by Zhou Yifu.
A steady stream of raw materials was placed at the designated starting position, and the cocoons were arranged neatly, like a square formation marching in step. Under the guidance of the needle and thread, the snow-white silk was woven step by step into the designed shape.
After several processes, it becomes a complete finished product, and the whole process looks so magical.
Compared with the original state of production by primitive labor, this production scene has made a qualitative leap in both quality and appearance, and is no longer comparable.
"You see, our workmanship is very fine and feels very smooth to the touch. In particular, our raw materials are whiter and more lustrous. If I were a customer, I would definitely choose our products. We are machine-automated, and our costs are half that of Ye Lingshuang and others. Our prices should also be half that of theirs. In this way, we have the confidence to maintain greater competitiveness in the market." At the production summary meeting, Su Qing gave a foresighted summary.
After the speech, everyone gave warm applause to congratulate him!
Good news soon came from Xingqing Supply and Marketing Cooperative. As soon as the new products were put on the shelves, they were sold out. Some series of products were soon out of stock. The supply and demand imbalance also forced the production line to work overtime and operate at overload.
The students are becoming more and more skilled, and their production efficiency is constantly improving. At this rate of development, the students will not only offset their night school training costs, but will also have optimistic commission income.
After hearing the news, the parents of the classmates also joined the ranks of those working on the assembly line. Some of the workers in Ye Lingshuang's factory also secretly changed their positions and kept coming to inquire whether they could join.
Zhou Yifu saw that Su Qing's base was running smoothly. The two trucks that had been shipped over before were just a warm-up and a trial. Now that they had passed the real test on the assembly line, with greater drama yet to come, he confidently shipped over the cocoons they produced continuously.
Wen Hu, who was far away in Yangshi, the provincial capital, also took the initiative to contact Fang Daqiang, and continued to purchase a batch of production equipment and transported it over for installation and testing. Another new workshop came into being.
Another month passed, and the silkworm pupae raised by the Xiangyang Production Brigade gradually turned into cocoons. This invisibly provided a large number of jobs, and people signed up to participate in the labor for work points. Su Qing paid the work points to the Xiangyang Brigade in advance.
As soon as the work is completed, people can get considerable income, and the smiles on their faces become extremely bright.
In Lin Yueran's account book, the data is slowly increasing and developing in a more favorable direction. The original situation of deficit and tight turnover has become more relaxed, and it has even turned from a loss-making state to a profit, and the scale of this profit is constantly and slowly expanding.
"The Frost Leaf production factory has been surrounded by consumers, and their products have been collectively condemned by consumers due to quality issues." Lin Yueran, who specializes in intelligence work, also brought this news today.
The hidden dangers they had planted before finally exploded today. Su Qing had anticipated such a situation, but things happened a little faster than originally expected.
"I heard that the law enforcers also came and Ye Lingshuang was taken away for investigation! The gate of their factory has been sealed and the production workers have been dismissed on the spot."
"All their products are unsalable and their equipment is too old. They rely on the raw power of manpower, which is really incomparable to our automated assembly lines."
"Their costs are high, their work is hard, and the quality of the products they produce is relatively poor. The color is ugly and they can't attract consumers' attention at all."
……
In the automated workshop, workers were talking to each other like this, with calm expressions on their faces and light movements of their hands, as if they were doing it effortlessly while strolling leisurely.
This new equipment also has an inherent advantage. It can draw and weave different patterns and designs according to the set plan, and can be dyed with a variety of required colors during the production process.
This is very magical, from a long strand of silk to the final process, the assembly line creates a beautiful, colorful product like magic.
From the first step to the last step, it only took two hours for a product to be completed from start to finish.
Moreover, in the subsequent process, the product can be packaged semi-automatically, and the required labels and promotional texts can be automatically printed on the packaging box.
The production model on this automated assembly line soon attracted the attention of the media, and waves of reporters arrived at the scene to carry out extensive publicity and reporting.
The Xiangyang silk production base is also well-known, and the brand effect is constantly growing.
The workers on the assembly line also changed from being students to being their parents, especially the young talents from Kengkou Village. After they brought the news back, more laborers continued to pour in.
With the help of night school training, wave after wave of workers quickly mastered the relevant production techniques and started working in the workshop.
Four months have passed since the fire accident. The original site was burned to ruins, but now it has become a brand new, fully automatic assembly line workshop. As the workers' skills become more sophisticated and production efficiency is further improved, the products produced are in short supply.
This brought high profits to the Xiangyang Brigade, and Su Qing and Wen Hu gradually received significant returns in proportion to their shares.
The production is on track and everything is moving in a good direction.
Su Qing was able to focus her main energy back on preparing for the college entrance examination.
