Chapter 325 Enterprise Reform
Foreign trade companies can be said to be the economic growth point of the future Oriental Factory and the incubation base of the new project manager. Liu Ming attaches great importance to it. How could he leave such an important position to the corpse-positioned person? After Miao Wanning, who is ruthless and experienced, it is not too easy to deal with a contestant like Tang Junchen.
Wang Weizhen's expression showed a hint of strangeness, "Where is my Uncle Ma?"
Liu Ming said lightly: "Ma Deliang took the initiative to propose to work in the second line, and I arranged it to be the head of the group's propaganda department."
Wang Weizhen didn't say anything after hearing this. She knew that with Liu Ming's personality, as long as Lao Ma no longer stretched out his legs to trip him up, the two of them could still be together.
In order to better cooperate with the project manager system, Liu Ming announced the flattening and cellularization reform of all design departments.
The diaphragm between branches and majors was cancelled, and the design team of 4,500 people in the group was divided into more than 700 "cells" based on three, five and seven people, and divided them into two major categories, comprehensive cells and specialized cells.
In the comprehensive cell, some people are equipment calculations, steel structure design, electrical design, and packaging design. Specialized cells are composed of several people of the same profession.
When these design cells were first established, they were marked with various abilities, professional levels, technical characteristics and even special skills in certain specific fields, so that each project manager would select when establishing a project department. After participating in completing various projects, these design cells will be certified by the participating project and evaluated by the project department.
Since it is called cells, it means that they all have life characteristics. If many projects urgently require a certain professional ability, then in order to increase the probability of being selected, some cells that are often idle will work hard to learn that major and add new labels to themselves. Starting from a practical perspective, we will lead the design direction by demand.
In the design department, there are also some who are like the deputy design director of the branch, the director of the design office, or old experts such as President Qiao and President Xiao, who are not in contact with actual design work, and are unified by Liu Ming to be in charge of reviewing the plan and final drawings.
Old experts like Dean Qiao who have participated in the formulation of industry standards and are highly respected were elected to the group-level technical expert group.
The top priority for project managers when establishing projects is to hire a technical leader from the expert group, and then the leader coordinates and dispatches appropriate design cells.
For example, Bi Chuchu, the former director of the conveyor room, was just nominated by Feng Tao as the technical leader of the Amazon St. Louis Port Project.
After the transformation of the internal operation entity of the enterprise was completed, Liu Ming turned his attention to some external windows.
Just after the group team meeting was held, Liu Ming left Song Yuan alone.
"Old Song, come with me later to attend a bidding meeting."
The procurement of outsourced equipment and raw materials has always been led by Song Yuan, vice president of logistics.
Song Yuan walked into the No. 4 conference room of the group bidding office with Liu Ming and Ouyang Qian together with him.
Some suppliers are not familiar with Liu Ming's low-key job.
The business staff in the bidding office saw three giants coming, and hurriedly stood up to greet them, but was stopped by Liu Ming with his eyes.
Song Yuan whispered to the clerks: "The leader is here to do research. You can do whatever you usually do, and you can do whatever you want now. Don't make any trouble!"
Ouyang Qian, who participated in the tender for the first time, listened to novelty and laughed at the side.
Liu Ming asked with a smile: "I said, Mr. Song, what is your 'mock' referring to?"
Song Yuan explained awkwardly: "Mr. Liu, some veterans from the bidding office. When they saw the leaders above inspecting, they tried to keep their prices down in order to show their work ability. The old suppliers who often participated in our bidding meetings also cooperated closely. Sometimes the price of the challenge was lower than the cost. They all knew that when they were happy, they could make up for the difference for suppliers on other projects!"
After hearing this, Liu Ming nodded slightly. Song Yuan was indeed a sensible person. The huge group is not without talents, but not used in a suitable place.
After the bidding meeting began, Liu Ming found that the atmosphere was different from the last time he came.
The suppliers did not have the tension of bidding at all, and people from different companies even sat together and chatted.
The clerk announced: "Xunyangshan Mining Company has a quotation of 1.897 million yuan. Zhangzhou Machinery Factory has a quotation of 1.9 million yuan. The two companies have a close quotation. Please prepare a second quotation, right?"
At this time, a sales manager in Yingbiao District raised his hand and said, "No need! Our Zhangzhou factory is at this price."
The clerk had no choice but to ask the manager of the Xunyang company that won the bid to come forward and sign and confirm.
When Liu Ming heard this, his brow frowned slightly.
It's only 3,000 yuan short, so I don't want to bid at any more, which is interesting.
He read through the records of the bidding office in history. Although the prices of raw materials fluctuate every year, they are generally of reference.
"Old Song, let's take a look. This is the unit price of the equipment that Zhangzhou factory won the bid last year. Let's take a look at the current price."
Ouyang Qian, who was standing beside him, covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Will the same model be twice the price?"
Song Yuan opened his mouth, and before he could speak, Liu Ming said, "Let's watch!"
When the bidding reached the brake, another small episode appeared.
A nationally renowned brand brake salesperson suddenly felt a little excited after losing the bid at a slight disadvantage of 200 yuan.
He pointed to the winner's opponent and shouted: "I really don't understand what standards your Dongfang Group judges this qualified supplier. Can our products be the same as theirs?"
The clerk quickly stood up and explained, "Mr. Huang, if you have something to say, we are bidding according to national standards. Since everyone is on the same benchmark line, naturally, whoever is cheaper and who chooses a family, you can't spend extra money just because you are a famous brand. Besides, I asked you just now. As long as you reduce the order by 200 yuan, the order will belong to your factory. You don't agree. What can I do?"
Mr. Huang said angrily: "National standards are the bottom line. If you are below the national standards, you will be subject to legal sanctions. Our products are much stronger than their packaging, technical details, and materials. Don't you consider these? I'll tell you, the current price is just because I filled my commission. Just because I didn't reduce this 200 yuan and I won the bid. Where can I make sense?"
At this time, the conference room was quiet.
Song Yuan glanced at Liu Ming, who was sitting beside him, and found that his face was already very bad.
After the bidding meeting, Liu Ming asked Song Yuan who was walking beside him, saying, "What do you think?"
Chapter completed!
