Resource appreciation

The major departments of the Hong Kong government are vigorously promoting a large-scale "resource increase" plan. The actions can be roughly divided into:

1. To increase revenues and reduce expenditures, surplus "human" and "material" must also be saved, and the implementation of automatic departure, no replacement vacancies, saving of expenses, etc.;

2. Reorganize or reorganize the structure, and the department strives to simplify it and make the best use of it;

3. Outsourcing, seek professional assistance or cooperation with professional companies, increase efficiency and effectiveness;

4. Apply new technology and professional software systems to reduce the workload of people, reduce human factors, and enhance the use of time, so that all major resources can be greatly added in a short period of time.

There are numerous ways to increase the value of resources. The above are just a few of the most commonly used and most effective examples to share with you.

Do not think that the government is a large organization. Its method of resource appreciation is not suitable for printing companies or SMEs. If you really think so, it is just an excuse for "unchanging, not wanting to change."

And share with you the analysis of our IT investment in printing and customer calculations. The customer is a small and medium-sized enterprise, a private company, and has been printing for many years. Now he is not investing in IT. His questions are:

1. I am a small and medium-sized company. Should it be IT?

2. After IT, there are many more orders, and the time spent on customers is naturally higher. I'm already very busy now. I can't follow so many orders!

3. It would be very painful for me to pay $1. Now I need to spend $200,000 on IT. Is there anything wrong?

4. I would rather use $200,000 to buy a new machine or ask one more person for help.

Our real-time response is, of course, plagued by his problems! But it may also be what you say in your heart! Especially for private companies, every penny you make must be well deserved, and you are expected to have a reward. This is normal. of. But meditation, you must also know how to answer his questions:

1. IT is inevitable. To survive, depend on science and technology, depends on the system, and people's ability is really limited. Recently, there is a slogan for an advertisement that is really interesting: “Living is limited, living in boundlessness”, printing companies and printing professions must also be The same! The use of the system, especially the computer system, will be able to continue the printing profession...

2. Who will be too many business?! "Too much business," increase it, add people, this is not much to mention, because the discussion is not high value.

Take a moment to look at the analysis in the table below:

3. After investing $200,000 in IT, it was possible to save more than $200,000 in resources in the first month! At this value, I was shocked at first sight. Without counting, one plan was quite convincing. This is resource appreciation!

4. IT investment, real-time value-added resources, plus machine or add people, you should know the answer!

From the business model of the manufacturing industry in the 1960s, we had a single-minded attitude of being in stock and focused on inventory control; we went to the material planning MRP Material Requirement Planning in the 1970s to strengthen the connection between customer orders and material storage. Department, to increase the budget for production materials; the world continues to advance, customers not only demand for product quality, but also focus more on product price competition; Therefore, not only can there be goods to sell, but also consider whether the price of the product is attractive; In the management of the manufacturing industry of the decade, there are even more elements, which are the so-called best use of materials, the best use of their resources, the best use of their talents, the use of existing resources, material storage, material requirements, and resource planning for MRPII Manufacturing Resource Planning. A systematic change has been made between each Other, from the customer's orders, to the deployment of resources, the cooperation of materials, and the management of warehouses, so that JIT (Just In Time) arrives on time to drive our production around the world.

Undoubtedly, faced with the requirements of customers every day, we are increasingly demanding a variety of printing variables. For example, the unlimited combination of different printing paper, weight, number of faces, printing and transportation makes our CRS colleagues exhausted. In addition to the cumbersome requirements of customers and the continuous reduction of prices by our peers, we have to agree that the current market changes are in progress. To survive, we must not change; therefore, we must add business in our resource planning. Departments, production and deployment department, logistics and warehouse management department, financial and accounting department, etc. are in contact with each other to become the current enterprise resource planning ERP Enterprise Resource Planning; we can use the information models of each department of ERP to closely follow each other and are indispensable. This can help us to achieve the goal of resource appreciation.
