A Japanese businessman on the evaluation of the Chinese factory of the world

 Our company is doing trade with Japan, and often come into contact with the Chinese is called A Japanese-funded enterprises in Shanghai, the work of Mr. Yamaguchi to China has more than 6 years, and has 5 cities in China, work and life, studied Chinese at Japanese universities, but can understand spoken Chinese is not fluent, can read Chinese characters but will not write the general meaning of the Chinese is called a long way to go. Here are some of his ideas (hereinafter the
one factory of the world does not mean sweatshops. Some likened the Japanese ants, but compared with the hard-working Chinese, Japanese far behind. In the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, the Yellow River Delta, there are countless backward technology, products similar, lax management of the family-owned factories that technology is low, poor efficiency, the only advantage is to have the ants work hard, like obedient beasts of burden in supporting the Chinese people, workers working hours per day for up to 10 hours or more, lived in simple houses, living at the lowest level of living, lack of basic social security. This is the advantage in China.
in hours if the pay, the Chinese people is the world's low-wage, slightly higher than in Vietnam. Some piece-rate reward in the factory, workers work an average of up to 12 hours or more, forcing the foreman is not refused to rest. I work in a number of enterprises in China engaged in environmental health workers, their silent, in silence, keep more than 10 hours a day labor, and no one to urge them, Homo habilis did not directly manage them, just because they are than the other plant a little bit of health workers with high incomes, they will be very grateful. When I heard that they can send home 80% of revenue when no one is not surprised by the Japanese point of view, the rest of their life-sustaining that even the most basic money spending are inadequate, not to mention they also have to pay the rent and water charges , as they say they are at work, better to say in their lives.
I have worked in many countries in Southeast Asia, even in backward Burma, to the workers is very difficult to work overtime, they will make a lot of requirements. In the Philippines, the dirty work so they will not dry, and the Filipinos will not rest one month after the dry month, and so spent the last month's salary and then go to work clean. Obviously the concept with the Chinese not the same. In Indonesia, this kind of work did not do the job. So I think that these so-called factory of the world settled down, eat-working by the sweat and blood of Chinese people supported, these factories elsewhere in the world can not survive unless there are Chinese people, to complete the coolies live.
Second, there is no skilled industrial workers, a standard difficult to achieve the world's factory. Yesterday, in southern China, northern China major cities, a large number of job opportunities waiting for the labor force, but the real scarcity of skilled workers and skilled, this is because most Chinese factories do not have long-term plan, resulting in a lack of technical support, a large number from workers in rural areas this year in this factory, next to that factory, making shoes this year, next year, clothes, industry, mobility of staff great, there is no effective organization and management, there is no basic job training.
the same time also a lack of long-term plan of the plant, often wildly rush to build what will sell what the skills of workers must also be replaced with the product to change, in most cases, the factory will be expelled existing workers, and then move back to the market, which resulted in a majority of workers in skilled jobs is difficult to engage in a long time, industrial skills, can never improve. Today's job shortage, not because of technology, but China has a land of cheap living, why should the South to their lives?
Japan in technology development, the Chinese may be better than smart, wisdom, ideas and more, so that, not dominant. But a world unparalleled skilled industrial army, they are engaged in related work for decades, their skillful hands create the world's most sophisticated products, this pair of skillful hands not in the institutions of higher learning out of education nor short-term training can achieve, but honed for many years, Chinese people have a more skillful hands than the Japanese, who had made the exquisite arts and crafts, but now there is no employment in factories in China for them to hone his hands the stage, like quicksand Chinese workers this year in the next year in a flowing, they are difficult to achieve the conditions necessary skilled.
Third, there is no large-scale plant is difficult to achieve the world's factory standards. Most small-scale factories in China, manufacturing the same product factories everywhere, and if the Japanese standards, these factories can only be considered workshops, reaching less than industrial production standards, the most intensive factories in China, the Pearl River Delta region, all combined annual output value of the factory is only one of Japan's total output value of large enterprises. Separation of the products as do many plants, the result is the factory of underemployment, high production costs, companies no extra funds for technology development, and no excess funds to support a technology development team.
same time, because of low labor costs, companies do not intend to introduce more advanced technology and equipment. In the Pearl River Delta region, in TV sets, microwave ovens, air conditioners, refrigerators, telephones and other low-tech household appliances production enterprises of informal enterprises and workshops are numerous, but not a world-renowned brands in clothing, footwear, toys, more factories is everywhere all is also not a large-scale production to achieve the minimum standard.
Fourth, low-technology Gongchang difficult to achieve the main factory of the world standards. World-renowned companies have products developed the basic ability to form a scientific research, production, sales, service stop, and most factories in China is basically a generic or other agent production, technical control of others, the most profitable part of the hands of others hand, China's research system and production system in a detached state of basic products, product development, low capacity, basic to imitation, self-developed products is minimal.
V. inefficient management difficult to achieve the world's factory standards. Production more progress, more stringent management requirements, which is the most lacking. The total number of Chinese factories countless times more than Japan, but the factory can produce very few complete sets of equipment, most equipment is imported from abroad.
can see the factories in China, relatively advanced equipment, technology requirements of the parts are imported from abroad, in which China is not the greatest shortages of productive capacity, but a complete set of equipment production organization and management capacity, complete sets of equipment is different from the scale of products, a production line equipment may only sell a few years, in order to generate profits, we must take all relevant materials, manufacturers, specifications, standards and other complex integrated organizational factors as accurate as the assembly of watch assembly, a part of the management of confusion will result in increased costs, reduced performance, but China still lacks such precise organization and management capacity, inefficient management of state-owned enterprises are basically official ceremony management, the smaller plants do not have such training opportunities, I think, if the production of Airbus aircraft on China by the Chinese people to manage, then the cost would be much higher.
in my personal point of view, China is not shortage of managers, but the lack of selection criteria for scientific management, a lot of incompetence, poor personality, good loophole, calculating the incompetent occupied the position of manager salaries, blocked the development of good management space.
China has unrivaled anywhere in the world's most hard-working people, but the lack of skilled industrial workers; has the world's largest factory, but not a world-scale enterprises; to cause the full range of products, but advanced technology and products developed by very few; have huge production capacity, it is difficult to create sets of production equipment and advanced technology.
China from the real world, there is a considerable distance from the factory, for a long time in the future, China can only be a primary product processing base, it is difficult to reach the world's factory standards. I say very nicely, but there is a saying China is not: bitter medicine to the mouth it?
