KOTA Technology successfully launched the training course on cost reduction and efficiency improvement for enterprises

Recently, in order to further focus on cost reduction and efficiency improvement and improve management and control capabilities, the company has organized a training course on "Enterprise Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement Comprehensive Production Cost Control Training". The course was taught by Mr. Zhong Jie, a senior cost control expert who has teaching experience in well-known domestic companies such as Dongfeng Motor, Geely Automobile, Foxconn, General Electric, and Xuzhou Heavy Industry, and a special lecturer of the Tsinghua University President Class.

　　The training was held in the training room on the second floor of KOTA Technology (Nantong) Co., Ltd. A total of 36 people, including mid-level and above managers and technical backbones of departments from KOTA Technology headquarters and branches and subsidiaries, participated in the training.

　　This training started with a systematic explanation of "cost reduction". For example: the objects of cost reduction: people, machines, materials, methods, and environment; the goals of cost reduction: efficiency, variety, cost, delivery time, safety, and morale; the three main points of cost reduction: A. Reduction of variable costs, B. Reduction of fixed costs, and C. Reduction of inventory; the six methods of cost control: quota cost method, standard cost method, target cost method, and waste reduction method.

　　After the systematic learning, Mr. Zhong Jie organized the trainees to interact by playing the "Paradise Factory Sand Table Exercise", aiming to enhance employees' awareness and practical operational capabilities of reducing costs and improving efficiency by simulating a real production management environment.

　　In this training, a trainee said: In the sandbox exercise, I played the role of a person in charge of the production department, and faced the problem of how to accept as many orders as possible within a month to arrange production and obtain the profit. To obtain the profit, it is not simply to accept large orders blindly, but to reasonably arrange order acceptance, planning and production through scientific management under the premise of ensuring production efficiency and product quality. For example, to consider maintaining customer relationships, every customer's order must be accepted. The key to the production capacity of an enterprise lies in the key nodes in the process. The maximization of profits lies in dispatching orders on the premise of meeting the customer's delivery date . Accepting new orders every day will only cause work orders to pile up in front of the key process, and ultimately fail to deliver on time. Through the sandbox exercise, I realized the key role of production and sales coordination in production management. Production and sales coordination is not only the basis for ensuring the smooth progress of production, but also an important means to achieve cost control and efficiency improvement. We need to pay close attention to market trends and customer needs, and adjust production plans and product strategies in a timely manner to ensure that products can be delivered on time and meet customer needs. Customer-centricity and continuous improvement of customer service satisfaction are the magic weapon for the long-term prosperity of an enterprise.

　　Through this comprehensive and in-depth training, the trainees not only deepened their understanding of the concept of cost reduction and efficiency improvement, but also mastered a variety of cost reduction and efficiency improvement methods that are highly practical and effective, and further clarified the importance of cost reduction and efficiency improvement to the company's long-term development strategy.

　　In the next step, the company will firmly adhere to the principle of "all costs can be reduced", mobilize all forces and resources, focus on cost reduction points, strengthen meticulous and strict safety, intensive production, and careful management, effectively implement specific measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency, focus on improving efficiency, stabilize production and ensure operations, and promote all aspects of work to achieve new breakthroughs in cost reduction and efficiency improvement, achieve a dual improvement in the company's economic and social benefits, lay a solid foundation for the company's long-term and healthy development, and aspire to align with outstanding companies such as Dongfeng Motor, Geely Auto, and General Electric!
