Venue: Dalang Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province
I feel very honored to have the opportunity to practice in a printing factory this time. Although it is only a week, during this time, I have a perceptual knowledge of some common theoretical things and feel that I have benefited a lot.
The following are some summaries and experiences during my internship. I hope to learn from my own work and communication with customers in the future.
First, the overall scale level of the factory.
Yatai (Dongguan) Printing Factory is located in Dalang Town, Dongguan, with an area of 24,600 square meters and more than 600 employees. After nearly ten years of manufacturing history, he has developed into a professional printing expert and is also famous in the developed areas of Dongguan.
Walking into the factory, I saw a clean environment and orderly working procedures. Although it is a domestic manufacturer, when we go to the workshop and see the advanced assembly lines and skilled technical level, we will fully feel the modern management. As a manufacturer of printing products, some problems are inevitable, such as the flying of paper scraps, the noise of machines, and the smell of glue and paint mixed together, but the factory has tried to minimize them. Walking in the workshop, it seems that the serious problems faced by most printing plants are not much trouble in our factory, but those management and efficiency attract most visitors.
The factory has its own timetable and will strictly abide by it. Even during lunch break, every worker will clean up his area in order, which is one of the reasons why the factory can keep clean. On the issue of dining, the factory also has its own characteristics. That is, from the top to the ordinary workers, the meals they eat are the same, without any specialization.
Second, the learning process
The following points are the main knowledge I learned during my internship in the factory and some experience I got from my work.
(1) Selection of Paper Most of the paper commonly used in factories is imported from abroad, which is also the reason why our quotation is higher than that of domestic manufacturers-it is precisely "a penny for a penny". MDF paper is also one of the commonly used materials. MDF can also be used in many products of our company. Can be recommended to some customers who want to save costs. A certain amount of these conventional papers are kept in the warehouse, and the others are reserved for use. Generally speaking, however, conventional paper is recommended as much as possible (unless the products ordered by customers are large enough, the factory can purchase other expensive paper), which will be helpful to the processing technology, production cycle and growth cost of the factory.
(2) In terms of processing, the machines used in the factory are relatively advanced. Generally speaking, they are all operated automatically, such as CNC machine tools and vertical axis machine tools. So as long as the operation is proper and the personnel arrangement is reasonable, it can generally produce higher efficiency (generally speaking, skilled labor is needed). Although the factory can produce most paper products, in the process of communicating with customers in the future, we should try our best to meet the requirements of customers and consider them from the standpoint of the factory. For example, you can recommend some samples with the same appearance, but simple practice and clear structure to customers. This can not only reduce the cost for the factory, but also improve the efficiency. When an order is completed, the factory will arrange every link in place. Therefore, when confirming the order with the customer, we must completely confirm each demand. Some customers are not sure about the paint after finishing the white clothes. If this is put aside, not only will the product be easily deformed, but it will also affect the order schedule and bring unnecessary trouble to the factory.
(3) Laser and Screen Printing At present, the largest laser size in the factory is 320×320mm, and the smallest is1.5×1.5mm. After laser, color can be applied, the most common one is black, which can make the laser pattern clearer. However, customers are generally not advised to color after laser, which will increase the cost. The cost of laser depends on the complexity of laser pattern. Generally speaking, it is 1 yuan per product. Screen printing is also a common method, but its requirement is that the surface of screen printing should be smooth. If laser or screen printing is needed, customers will be asked to provide pictures, preferably electronic documents.
(4) Packaging is the last process before the finished product is completed, and it is also an important part of a product. The packaging process includes the simple assembly of products, the assembly of hemming, flannel and hardware, the production of packaging materials, the quality inspection of the previous process of products and the packaging of products. Quality is the guarantee of quality. Therefore, our factory also has strict quality control. Generally, there are two or three quality inspectors on a packaging assembly line to carry out strict product inspection. From dust removal, quality inspection to final packaging, every detail will have strict operating standards of workers. For some export customers, the product will be more critical, but the factory will meet these requirements. This is why the quality of our products is guaranteed, and there are few quality defects in our products. And if it is also a domestic order, there will often be some unruly customers who will pick some small "flaws" without quality problems. For these problems, I think it is not only necessary to explain to customers that some of them are due to the problems of paper products themselves, but also to let them know that the quality control requirements of our factory have reached the domestic advanced level, and many quality problems are likely to be caused by collisions and barbaric transportation during transportation. Of course, in order to avoid damage in transit, in general safety packaging, in addition to some conventional packaging materials (cartons, cartons, gift boxes, sponges, styrofoam, pearl cotton, copy paper, bubble bags, tape, etc. ), the six sides of the carton can also be protected with styrofoam. (6) Other accessory hardware is a common accessory. So for some conventional hardware, such as some hinges, copper buttons, copper feet and so on. The factory will purchase a certain quantity for inventory. In addition, like some hardware on the pen, the factory itself has the manufacturing ability, and many of them can be done independently. In addition, things like EVA need to be purchased separately.
Thirdly, the experience of this internship has made me understand the scale and level of the factory, the production technology and the production of some conventional products, which I believe will be of great help to the future business operation. In addition, I feel that on the one hand, the factory supplies us, on the other hand, we should actively cooperate with the factory to do a good job of both sides. At the same time, I will continue to learn the knowledge of products and serve customers well. Only when the overall business level of the company is improved can we create good performance.
