Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 283 Management Issues

  Fang Lang didn't think the monthly salary of 280 Cruzeiro for textile workers was high.

  However, he also knows that the wages of ordinary workers in Brazil are generally not high.

   From the expression on Mayor Ewald Dursley's side, it can be seen that the wages of their factory are not low.

   Nodding his head, he said to Chen Hongqing:

   "Among these local workers, are there any family members of our navy officers and soldiers?

  I remember that when we recruited workers, we asked for priority in recruiting the family members of the sailors. "

   This is indeed what Fang Lang meant. The purpose of Fang Lang's initial establishment of these factories was also to accommodate the families of the soldiers under his command.

  It is used to increase the cohesion of soldiers.

  The families of the soldiers are placed near the base. One is to ease the soldiers’ homesickness and allow the soldiers to reunite with their families during their breaks.

   This can also reduce the chances of soldiers messing around outside during their breaks.

  Secondly, in order to further tie the soldiers to their chariots, Fang Lang paid the soldiers allowances, and their family members worked in the Fang Lang family's factory.

  It is equivalent to a family of soldiers relying on Fang Lang to support them, which can better improve the loyalty of the soldiers.

  Third, the allowances of the soldiers under Fang Lang's command are not low, and the family members also work nearby, with so much income, it is easy for the soldiers to choose to settle in Natal.

  This can further increase the population of Natal and drive the economy of Natal.

   "Of course, boss.

  Many of our female workers are family members of soldiers, and they come for interviews with letters of introduction issued by the fleet. "

   Fang Lang nodded in satisfaction and said:

   "That's good, the work enthusiasm of these family members is no problem!"

   Some worry that these family members will not obey the management because of their status as military family members.

   Bring adverse effects to the development of the factory.

   "The boss can rest assured that our factory uses performance-based wages, the more we do, the more we get.

   If everyone wants to get a high salary, they will definitely work **** their own. "

   Accompanied by the two, Fang Lang visited all the way and walked through several production workshops. The roar of the machines in some workshops was so loud that several people had to walk out of the factory before continuing to talk.

  Through today's inspection, Fang Lang still found a lot of problems, but it's no wonder that more management concepts of later generations in this era have not yet appeared.

  Many things that are well known in later generations have not been brought up in this era.

  Fang Lang has never studied factory management, so he couldn't come up with some theoretical things.

   However, it is still very easy to find some problems.

  So, after everyone returned to the company's office, Chen Hongqing gathered all the basic management personnel of the factory into the meeting room, ready to listen to the boss's lecture.

  Fang Lang didn't want to do these formalistic things, but it might be more effective for him to say some things, and he could buy people's hearts.

   Therefore, there is no excuse.

  Let's have a meeting! For Fang Lang, he was already familiar with it. After Chen Hongqing finished his opening remarks and introduction, it was Fang Lang's turn to speak.

  First of all, I affirmed the achievements made by everyone, and thanked everyone for their hard work.

   Then start asking the questions you found.

  “During this visit, I also found several problems, and here I want to raise them one by one, hoping that everyone can implement improvement one by one.

  First of all, I think the most important job of a factory is safety. What is the biggest safety hazard in a textile factory?

  It is fire prevention. During the inspection today, I found many workers smoking.

  Smoking in a textile factory, isn’t this lighting a lamp in the toilet, courting death?

  So, the first thing is to implement a smoke-free factory. From today on, all fireworks, flammable and explosive materials must not appear in the factory.

  Even the kitchen that needs to be cooked should be far away from the production area of ​​the factory.

  Look at the cotton wool floating in the factory, if you are not careful, it will cause disaster.

  Second, the fire-fighting facilities in the factory are very imperfect. I noticed that there are a few water tanks outside the factory, but such a small water tank is a drop in the bucket for such a large workshop.

   If an accident happens, it will not be able to play its due role at all.

  I remember that special fire extinguishers have appeared in European and American countries. We have them on the warships of our fleet, and we can purchase them later.

  There must be a fire extinguisher every ten meters in the factory.

   In addition, workers should also be organized to learn fire prevention and fire extinguishing knowledge every month, to know how to put out what kind of fire, and how to use fire extinguishers.

  I don’t want the electric circuit to catch fire that day, and some people still want to use water to extinguish it. Is this to be understood by the people? "

  Everyone nodded, and took out their small notebooks to record.

  Chen Hongqing also blushed a little. He knew that the boss was a soldier, but he didn't expect to find so many problems just by looking at it.

   "Third, I found that our factory has not regulated the placement of goods and tools at all.

  The first thing I felt when I walked into the factory was that it was messy, some places didn’t even have a place to step down.

  How can this work? Workers tripped and fell, causing industrial accidents. Who is responsible?

  From now on, scattered goods can be packed in wooden boxes, marked, and lines drawn on the ground. The corresponding items can only be placed in the designated places. Anyone who does not follow the regulations will be punished.

  I hope that the factory floor will always be clean and tidy, except for mechanical equipment, no raw materials, goods and tools should be present.

  Especially the oil stains produced by machinery must be cleaned up in time.

   It would be great if you could find an OCD to check this work out. "

   Everyone can understand the importance of fire prevention work.

   But I didn't expect that the boss would put such strict requirements on the placement of items.

   For a while, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what was the point of doing so.

  In everyone's mind, many things must be placed in the most convenient place, so that everyone can work conveniently.

  Actually, Fang Lang didn't know the specific principle of doing this.

  However, he knew that most of the factories in later generations were like this, and they looked very clean and tidy, giving them a sense of grandeur.

  He doesn’t know, but in fact, this is the 5S management that many factories are using, “arranging”, “rectifying”, “cleaning”, “cleaning” and “literacy”.

  This management method is mainly to create a safe, comfortable and bright working environment, cultivate good working habits of employees, and improve the quality of people.

   It was proposed by the Japanese, of course, it may now be proposed by the Fangyuan Group.

   Fang Lang noticed that everyone's expressions were a little unclear, and he didn't explain too much, but said directly with a cold face:

   "If you understand it, you must execute it, if you don't understand it, you must execute it. This is an order, understand?"

  Everyone was silent, expressing their understanding in unison.

   Seeing everyone's expressions, Fang Lang understood that no one should dare to disobey his order, so he didn't say much, but nodded and continued:

  “In the end, I found that our workers didn’t have uniform uniforms, which is very inappropriate and not conducive to highlighting the image of our factory.

How about this! In the future, we can provide winter and summer work clothes for the workers in the factory every year.

  The types of work of workers are different, and the color and logo of the work clothes can also be distinguished, so that our managers can distinguish the type of work of this worker at a glance.

  For example, our porters can be blue-gray, which is resistant to dirt.

  Workers on the production line can use white! This looks cleaner and tidier.

  By the way, all workers must wear hats that can wrap their hair. If the spinning machine accidentally twists your hair, it is too dangerous to pull your head into the machine, understand? "

  When Chen Hongqing saw the boss, he simply looked around like this, and then put forward so many rectification requirements.

  I feel very admirable in my heart. After all, what the boss said is not just empty talk, but all of them are real problems, although he has not figured out why some problems.

  However, as a manager, he can see a lot of benefits from the method proposed by the boss, which is enough.

   Immediately afterwards, Fang Lang encouraged everyone again, and shook hands with everyone one by one to say goodbye.

   After everyone returned to work, Fang Lang chatted with Chen Hongqing again.

   "Old Chen! Do the workers in our factory take sick leave a lot? Where do you go for medical treatment when you get sick?"

  Chen Hongqing couldn't respond to Fang Lang's sudden question.

  However, he also understood this matter, and quickly replied:

   "Boss, for the time being, there are not many workers who take sick leave, and most of them will still go to work in the factory after getting sick.

   After a period of time, the disease gradually recovered.

   As for where to go for medical treatment after getting sick, I do know that there is a hospital in Natal.

  However, the cost of seeing a doctor is too high, and one month's wages can't even splash the water in the hospital.

  If you are not seriously ill, you dare not go to the hospital for treatment.

  Last time I heard that a local man had a wound infected and suppurated. He went to the hospital to see a doctor and said that he needed to be injected with penicillin.

  Good guy, it costs 3,700 Cruzeiros for an injection, which is higher than the wages of the workers for a year.

   Who cares about this, I can only buy some sulfonamide tablets and eat at home, and it will be cured gradually. "

  Penicillin is expensive. Of course, Fang Lang knows that sulfonamide is also a very good anti-inflammatory drug. The effect is not as obvious as penicillin, and the price is actually not cheap.

   After all, Brazil does not have the ability to manufacture locally, and has to rely on imports, but thinking about its own pharmaceutical factory, maybe it can try to manufacture some sulfonamides for sale.

  “You said, if we take part of the wages of the workers every month, our factory subsidizes another part to buy a medical insurance for everyone.

   Let everyone be able to see the disease in the future, will the workers be willing? "

  Fang Lang's words made Chen Hongqing fall into deep thought again, and even the mayor, Mr. Ewald Dursley, looked at Fang Lang puzzledly, not understanding what he meant.

  But Mr. Mayor felt that this obviously didn't concern him, so he didn't participate in the discussion.

  Chen Hongqing asked after thinking for a while:

   "How much should the workers pay? How much should the factory subsidize?"

   Fang Lang thought for a while, knocked on the table and said:

  “Workers spend one-twentieth of their monthly wages, which is about 14 Cruzeiros, and the factory subsidizes 28 Cruzeiros. In total, they spend 42 Cruzeiros to buy a medical insurance.

  It is used to ensure that everyone can enjoy medical services when they are sick. "

   "But in this way, the factory will have an extra monthly expenditure of more than 28,000 Cruzeiro.

   Workers may not be willing to spend this part of their wages to buy this kind of medical insurance! "

  Fang Lang also understands that many workers may rather put money in their own pockets than buy this kind of medical insurance.

  Even Chen Hongqing in front of him probably had the same idea.

   Fang Lang had expected this, nodded and said:

   "Let's do this! I'll discuss it with the insurance company first, and if we can reach an agreement, we'll talk later.

  If workers do not want to participate in insurance, we can also allow workers to choose freely.

   After I have settled this matter with the insurance company, let the trade union come forward to raise it! "
