Chapter 382 The password of the rise (first update, please subscribe)
The king also has tidbits.
This is not too normal. There are even some newspapers in the UK that like to report royal tidbits.
Although there is no such newspaper in Nanyang, it is inevitable that some gossip will spread.
After all, there is no airtight wall in this world.
And some secrets are open secrets. Just because it's not written in the newspaper doesn't mean everyone doesn't know about it.
However, as the person involved, Li Yian didn't care about the gossip at all.
If you are not romantic, you will waste your youth!
If you have a romantic affair occasionally, you might have to block other people's mouths. That's just deceiving others.
In fact, Li Yian has always been very tolerant of public opinion. He has only established a review agency, but the review is also controlled within a reasonable range. After all, external supervision to a certain extent is beneficial to the government, but it must be under control and not out of control. After all, losing control is the most dangerous thing.
Of course, what is more important is work.
Towards the end of the year, work has become even busier for Li Yian. In just one week, he inspected more than 40 companies. Among these companies, both The "BMW" company is under construction - although it has not yet been completed, the first batch of cars has already rolled off the production line - the BMW 326 designed before the war has begun to be put into the market and has become a car for Nanyang officials.
When Li Yian entered BMW, the company's management did not come out to greet him. After asking for a moment, he found out that they were attending a lecture.
"Deming's class?"
Li Yian said as soon as he heard it.
"That's good, let's go and listen."
Soon, a group of them arrived at the conference room on the sixth floor of BMW. When he entered the conference room, dozens of company managers were working seriously. notes. And Deming on the stage was giving a lecture.
“...Stop selecting suppliers based solely on quotations and focus on reducing overall costs...Price and quality are inseparable. Blindly trying to lower the purchase price while ignoring quality will only make excellent Suppliers withdrew due to unprofitability..."
During Deming's lecture, Li Yian also became a student. Although he hired this guy by name, this was the first time. Listen to his lectures.
William Edwards Deming was a statistical expert. During the war, he was a consultant to the U.S. Census Bureau. It was during the war that he introduced the principles of statistical quality control into industrial management and introduced statistics Theory applied to wartime production.
However, production during the war only sought more, not better. Although Deming continued to call for attention to quality in the United States, it rarely attracted attention from the outside world. In the past few years, he continued to conduct quality management training. He tried to apply statistics to industrial production, but not many people were interested in his suggestions and courses. After the war, the American economy was prosperous and orders were overwhelmed. No one had time to talk about the quality of this sampling survey expert.
But it was at this time that he received an invitation from MacArthur to engage in statistical work in Japan. It was also in Japan that his quality management theory was welcomed by all walks of life in Japan. It was precisely this management expert who was regarded as an "abandoned son" by the United States, who became the "Godfather of Japanese Quality Management" in a foreign country. The Japanese business community was extremely grateful to Deming, and not only established the "Deming Prize" to reward those who excel in quality management There are innovative people in the field. In the Toyota headquarters, there are three larger-than-life photos. One is the founder of Toyota, the other is the current president, and the third one is larger than the first two, which is Deming.
It was Deming’s quality management theory that made Japan’s manufacturing possible. By the time the United States discovered it again, Japanese manufacturing, which relied on quality to win, had already wiped out American manufacturing.
For such a quality management master, Li Yian will certainly not leave it to the Japanese. After all, in this era, Japanese manufacturing is synonymous with inferiority. It is precisely because of the quality management mechanism spread by Deming that Changed everything.
Such talents should be reserved for one's own use. Now Deming is the company's special consultant. After coming to Nanyang last year, he has been engaged in corporate quality management research.
"Most quality problems are the responsibility of managers, not workers, because the whole stupid production procedure is made by managers and workers are excluded..."
Onstage Deming spoke very seriously, and the people in the audience listened very seriously. Just like his past lectures, not only the management of BMW, but also the managers of other companies, everyone was eager to learn quality management. Knowledge.
“...If we can strive to get things done right the first time without causing waste, we can reduce costs without increasing investment...Quality is a way to use the most economical means to create the most useful products on the market products. Once the product quality is improved, productivity will automatically increase.”
Li Yi’an, who was in the last row, also listened carefully to his lecture. Although he is not directly involved in the company’s management now, Quality is the foundation for the survival of all industrial enterprises. When the lecture was about to end, during the interaction between Deming and everyone, Li Yian thought for a while, wrote a note and had it sent to him.
After taking the note handed by others, Dai Ming took a look at it and said.
“This is a very good question. How long will it take to transform Nanyang from a country that manufactures ordinary products to a country that produces high-quality products and has a competitive advantage in the international market? I want you to They should also be very concerned about this issue.”
As Deming said, they are indeed very concerned about this issue.
“In my opinion, as long as we use statistical analysis and establish a quality management mechanism, the quality of Nanyang’s products can surpass that of the United States in five years!”
Despite his prediction, the conference room Everyone was whispering to each other in disbelief. After all, everyone knew that it was not easy to train a machining worker, although in the past few years, Nanyang has been learning from the United States how to control quality in mass production. Methods and management methods have brought the company's production management to a new level, but there are some problems in worker training. Those machine tools require workers to operate them personally. An apprentice needs at least two years from learning to independent operation. Time, there are countless apprentices in Nanyang who do not return to their dormitories for several months and sleep on the floor of the factory every day, in order to leave the job as soon as possible and be able to truly operate machine tools independently.
Sometimes, they obviously underestimated themselves. Just as Deming predicted, the overall quality level of Nanyang's products surpassed that of the United States in five years, and began to pose a huge challenge to the American industry in terms of quality.
It was from this beginning that Deming became the godfather of quality management in Nanyang. In the following decades, Deming held quality management training lectures across Southeast Asia to impart his management ideas. Four out of every five business executives in Nanyang have attended his lectures.
To a certain extent, the most important thing about Li Yi'an's Jiu Hu in Japan is not the machine dismantled from Japan, but the brain of Jiu Hu. Although this brain is not Japanese, it is deeply changed Japan.
Now, Deming's quality management theory will also fundamentally change Nanyang.
