90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

Xie Yan nodded and slowly told him about the three systems she had come into contact with in her previous life. She also described all the unreasonable operations she had discovered in the workshop.

Huang Yue listened quietly without interrupting the little girl's endless chatter.

She knew that what she said was very pertinent and reasonable, and it was also an area she had been trying to improve.

Xie Yan looked at Huang Yue with unconcealed admiration and favor in her eyes. She knew that what she said accurately hit Huang Yue's pain point, which was also the pain point of Superior Cotton Mill.

Factory management, or even project management, is nothing more than "people, machines, materials, methods, and environment."

"Man, Machine, Material, Method and Environment" is the abbreviation for the five main factors affecting product quality in the total quality management theory.

People refer to the people who make products.

Machine, equipment used to manufacture products.

Materials refer to the raw materials used to manufacture products.

Method refers to the method used to manufacture a product.

Environment refers to the environment in which the product is manufactured.

The Superior Cotton Mill had major problems with its “people, machines, materials, methods, and environment.”

The personnel who produce and manufacture products do not have sufficient comprehensive qualities and need to be matched with corresponding departments to carry out production and safety training.

The machines used to manufacture the products are also relatively old and need to be replaced with a batch of new machines.

The raw materials for manufacturing products are piled up in disorder in the workshop. The dust and oil in the workshop contaminate a lot of raw materials, resulting in the production of many defective products, which unnecessarily increases the cost of the products.

The method of manufacturing cotton thread and the environment of the workshop are naturally not up to standard, and there are corresponding problems.

The real popularization of the quality management theory came after China joined the WTO in 1999. In China, many factories and managers had never heard of such theories due to their low education level.

Huang Yue's eyes were sparkling, letting Xie Yan know that the matter was settled.

This was the first time she truly took advantage of the information gap and reaped the benefits of rebirth.

Huang Yue wrote down every word about the problems and improvement methods mentioned by Xie Yan. The little girl talked for two or three hours in one breath, almost pouring out all the knowledge she had about workshop management and company management.

Xie Yan is not a professional management student. She is a veterinarian. However, in order to take care of her daughter, she had to change her career and go to work in a factory. She studied factory management knowledge for five or six years.

However, this little bit of superficial knowledge is enough to amaze others in this era.

After saying this, Xie Yan collapsed on the mahogany chair as if exhausted.

Huang Yue stood up with a bang and clapped her hands repeatedly, feeling a little excited. She had invited so many so-called highly educated people to solve the problem but they couldn't find it, but an eight-year-old child pointed it out in one sentence and gave a complete solution.

She couldn't believe it herself.

But at this moment, she already had full trust in Xie Yan and the Jinxing Textile Factory that Xie Yan mentioned. With talents like Xie Yan in the factory, how could the factory fail to run well?

"Thank you, Representative Xie." Huang Yue extended her hand, and Xie Yan also extended her small hand, and the two shook hands. "I can accept the cooperation plan you proposed. But..."

Xie Yan did not ask any further questions in a hurry, but smiled faintly and waited politely for Huang Yue's next words.

"I need to go to the Venus Textile Factory for a field trip."

"Of course, you are welcome to come and inspect our factory. After all, this is the first time the two factories have cooperated, so we must clearly understand each other's strengths."

Xie Yan agreed without thinking.

Jinxing Textile Factory may have been nothing a month ago, but now, backed by state-owned capital and Hong Kong capital from Zheng Shiyu, it is probably one of the best in S Province in terms of strength.

She was not afraid at all that Huang Yue would go for the inspection, but was afraid that Huang Yue would not go.

After the two finalized the time and details of the inspection, Xie Yan returned to the lounge.

But she never expected that Ma Yao, an intellectual, could really stir up trouble.

As soon as I returned to the lounge, I found Ma Yao fighting with a worker in his fifties wearing work clothes.

There were a lot of people surrounding them, and Zheng Shiyu and several male workers were trying their best to separate the two people.

Ma Yao is young and has never worked in a factory or done rough labor, so he doesn't have very good physical strength.

When he fought with the workers, he didn't get any advantage at all and even received several blood-red bars on his face.

Xie Yan was completely confused as to why a fight had broken out.

She walked aside and pulled a female worker who was watching: "Auntie, what's going on with them? Why are they fighting?"

The female worker clearly had an accent from S Province and explained to Xie Yan in extremely unstandard Mandarin.

The other party in the fight was named Wang Jianguo, a 50-year-old car blocker in the workshop who had worked in this factory for more than ten years.

Today, Huang Yue and the technician took the three of them to visit the workshop. Everyone thought they were new technicians.

Ma Yao had just woken up and seemed to be still reluctant to leave, so he went to the workshop and asked Wang Jianguo to take him to continue to visit the process.

He was also a little embarrassed. Seeing the outdated equipment of the Superior Cotton Mill, he wanted to show off the equipment of his own factory.

He explained the parameters of the new equipment at the Jinxing Textile Factory in Mandarin. Wang Jianguo misunderstood what he meant by "laying off old employees" because of his accent. Considering the recent rumors of layoffs at the factory, Wang Jianguo's expression became very bad.

When Ma Yao said “efficiency increased by 30%”, Wang Jianguo heard it as “lay off 30% of the staff”.

There are a lot of people in the cotton mill, hundreds of them. If 30% of them are laid off, what will happen to them?!

In addition, Ma Yao casually threw the remaining mineral water bottle into the cotton pile. Wang Jianguo believed that this was an insult to the workers' labor results.

Everyone knows that cotton mill workers regard cotton as their lifeblood, and he also...

Wang Jianguo cursed in dialect as "prodigal son", and Ma Yao, who was from the north, misheard it as "idiot", and the emotions on both sides escalated.

After Xie Yan listened to what the workers and Zheng Shiyu had pieced together, she assembled the whole thing herself.

Ma Yao’s biggest problem is that he is arrogant and has never come into contact with grassroots workers.

He has no idea what the workers are going through now.

At this time, Longguo had a special name, called the wave of layoffs.

主要在1990年代中期至2000年代初，1997-2000年为高峰期，全国累计约4000万职工下岗。

The "grasp the large and let go of the small" policy in 1995 directly triggered large-scale layoffs across the country.

At that time, Longguo’s state-owned enterprises took on too many social functions, such as running schools and hospitals, which resulted in low efficiency and redundant staff.

Coupled with the rise of foreign capital and township enterprises, state-owned enterprises have fallen behind in technology and management.

The economy of Longguo must transform, and urgently.

The so-called economic reform requires state-owned enterprises to divest redundant personnel, and the old industrial bases in Northeast China, such as cotton mills and steel mills, are the first to be affected.

Many workers at the Superior Cotton Mill traveled thousands of miles from the Northeast Industrial Base to work in Province G.

Under the impact of the financial crisis in 1999, how could they not be afraid of experiencing another wave of layoffs?

Workers are most sensitive to layoffs.

Ma Yao obviously touched the workers' sore spot, he was really a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger.

Xie Yan was speechless.
