Seeing that no one had any objections, Cheng Maixiang suggested, "Since everyone has no problem, I'll take everyone to the garment factory to have a look."
Everyone stood up and followed Cheng Maixiang out of the brigade headquarters. After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at the door of the garment factory.
As soon as they entered the garment workshop, all three of them felt their eyes brighten. In the bright and clean environment, fifteen sewing machines were neatly divided into three rows. Fifteen female foremen wearing work hats and uniform light blue work uniforms were concentrating on making clothes.
"Comrade Cheng, why do these female workers wear hats on their heads?" Ruan Peiling took out her camera, took a picture, and asked curiously.
"We ask female workers to wear hats just to put their hair inside the hats to prevent it from falling on clothes and being discovered during final inspection and falling into the hands of customers."
Section Chief Zeng nodded secretly. He saw that each female worker had three boxes next to her. One box contained the fabrics used to make clothes that day, and the other two boxes had a small green paper on one and a small red paper on the other.
"Comrade Xiao Cheng, what do these two boxes represent?"
"Chief Zeng, the boxes with green labels contain good products, while the red boxes contain rejects. We clean them out every day and dispose of them collectively at the end of the month."
Section Chief Zeng nodded and casually flipped through a few red boxes. He saw that they were all empty, obviously there were no defective products.
Ruan Peiling pointed to a white line drawn on the ground and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"This is the area division I made. This is the production area, and that is the employee rest area. I put a table and a few teacups there. When employees are tired from work, they go there to have a drink of water and take a break."
Cheng Maixiang pointed upwards as she spoke. Everyone looked up and saw a sign hanging above with the three big words "Work Area" written on it.
Section Chief Zeng walked to the rest area and saw a blackboard embedded in the wall next to him. The blackboard was cleverly divided into three areas. One area had the employee code of conduct posted on it. In the middle area, a piece of paper was pinned with thumbtacks. On the paper was a blank form, which seemed to be counting how many pieces of clothing each employee made in a day. In the area on the far right, there were several pictures with schematic diagrams of unqualified clothing.
Section Chief Zeng stood in front of the blackboard, watching intently, and felt that these management measures were extremely advanced, and in many aspects were not available in the current state-owned factories. He deeply felt that he needed to write a detailed report to Director Lian about what he had seen and heard today.
Manager Wu was also extremely shocked. Her vision was even narrower than that of Section Chief Zeng. At most, she had only come into contact with factories in the city. However, the garment workshop even surpassed the factories in the city in terms of management and environment.
Cheng Maixiang was not surprised by the three people's surprise. She used the 5S management, area division management and online diagram management that were adopted in the manufacturing industry in later generations. They were popular among enterprises at that time and are naturally extremely advanced in this era.
Seeing Ruan Peiling taking photos, Section Chief Zeng politely asked, "Comrade Ruan, can you give me a copy of the photos after they're developed? I won't ask for them for free. I'll pay for them."
"No problem." Ruan Peiling answered readily.
Finally, Cheng Maixiang led the three to the warehouse and Cheng's mother's office, which was also divided into four areas: raw material warehouse, finished product warehouse, office area and testing area.
Cheng's mother was in the testing area, conducting the final inspection on the clothes made by the female workers. There was a thin board hanging on the testing table. Section Chief Zeng picked it up and saw that it had the clothing testing operating instructions written on it.
The instruction manual clearly stated every step and every position of garment inspection, and also clearly stated the standards for passing or failing the inspection. Section Chief Zeng smiled and casually chatted with Cheng's mother for a few words. He immediately realized that Cheng's mother was indeed an expert in this area.
Manager Wu wandered around the garment warehouse area and saw that each carton had a label indicating the style, quantity, production number and surname of the female worker.
Section Chief Zeng was amazed and patted Zhou Minqi on the shoulder. "Xiao Zhou, you are really amazing. How did you find this collective enterprise? This is not a collective enterprise at all. The management is better than our state-owned enterprises. We really should send people here to learn from them."
Zhou Minqi smiled but didn't say anything. Ever since Cheng Maixiang started distributing the information, he hadn't said a word and just played the role of an escort.
Section Chief Zeng knew his relationship with the garment factory. If he expressed his opinions casually, Section Chief Zeng would inevitably think that he was deliberately speaking well of the garment factory. It would be better for him to keep silent and let Section Chief Zeng see for himself, which would make him feel more comfortable.
Manager Wu also nodded repeatedly. The management of this garment factory was indeed beyond her expectations. No wonder it was favored by the Guangzhou Garment Factory and was praised highly. It seemed that Cheng Maixiang's refusal to give a discount was not unreasonable.
Ruan Peiling had already left the office and came to the embroidery area, which she was very interested in. She looked carefully at the patterns on the handkerchiefs of the female workers and suddenly asked loudly, "Comrade Cheng, can I buy this handkerchief at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"This is not sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives. I sell it through my friends who introduce it to customers, but the sales are pretty good."
Ruan Peiling deliberately sighed in admiration, "That's such a pity, this handkerchief is really beautiful."
Ruan Peiling's words immediately attracted the attention of Section Chief Zeng and Manager Wu. Since they had already seen and asked almost everything they needed to see, they walked to the embroidery area and picked up the handkerchief embroidered by the female worker to look at it.
Section Chief Zeng took a stack of handkerchiefs, looked through them one by one, nodded slightly, and turned to ask Cheng Maixiang: "Comrade Cheng, how much is this handkerchief?"
Cheng Maixiang smiled nonchalantly, "Chief Zeng, you're too polite. It's just a handkerchief, why would you charge so much? I'll give you whichever one you like."
