visited more than 100 manufacturing companies some time ago. After a round, I found that the busiest order business is not the big factory but the small workshop. Their processing environment is relatively simple. Some simply set up tents to produce on-site, and some transform their homes into factories. The scale is usually a couple plus one equipment. They can be said to be a decathlon, and the boss is responsible for procurement, sales, production, finance, drivers, clerks, etc. With the changes in the market environment in the past two years, the advantages of this production and processing model have gradually become prominent, and the owners of small workshops have become the most prosperous group of people. -Follow me and take you to unlock more new knowledge
Chen Zhengyi cooperated with a boss who works in fitness equipment. He used 8 laser pipe cutting machines in front and behind. Last year, the market rebounded, and Mr. Chen even built a new factory to expand production scale and accelerate the process of automation upgrade. At that time, Mr. Chen told me that he can earn 20 million in one factory now, so he can earn 40 million by copying this model and adding one more factory. At that time, I told Mr. Chen that this method was too risky because the market situation was unclear, but Mr. Chen felt that he had to seize it if he had the opportunity, otherwise he would not make a penny.
In the end, he followed his plan. When I visited their factory again, I found that more than half of the production lines of General Manager Chen were in a downtime. He said that there is no demand in the market now, and the startup cost of many small orders is very high and not cost-effective. Now I am just taking one step at a time. Later I found that there were several small workshops 10 kilometers away from Mr. Chen's factory. They were all done by couples. The order business was very busy. According to the other party, the orders in hand are now divided from surrounding large factories. Because of the small quantity and complex processing, the large factories have no production advantages, so they gave up these orders. In the current market environment, small workshop owners have become the least affected group!
The biggest reason why small workshop owners can stand out is their own flexibility. They have low operating costs and can make changes at any time according to market changes, which is something that large factories cannot compare with. So does it mean that large manufacturers have no advantages? In fact, it is not. Large manufacturers have the right to bargain with the advantages of bulk orders, so when demand increases, the products of large manufacturers are the most cost-effective. In my opinion, the future development model of enterprises is not small workshops or large enterprises, but the combination of the two is not pursuing the scale of enterprises to seize the market with technology. The mainstream direction in the future is to produce high-value-added products.
