Under the impact of the invasion of foreign-funded flexible packaging enterprises, overcapacity, and economic environment recession, the flexible packaging industry still ushered in the development process. 2014 is not a good year. What about 2015? Senior people in the industry have summed up ten development treasures. It is said that some enterprises have already done so. We are looking forward to all of you to tide over the difficulties!
Treasure 1: dare to say "no" to unprofitable orders
Some flexible packaging enterprises may keep down the price to retain customers when they encounter difficulties. As a result, they can't make money when they make orders. Then you have to raise the price, the customers attracted by the low price will run away.
When receiving the order, the soft package factory should measure the benefit of the order in advance, calculate the cost and then quote the appropriate price. If the order is not for making money, is it still a waste of money? It is better to spend time on unprofitable customers than to spend energy on customer service with desirable benefits.
Treasure 2: in 2015, it will be right to take the green environmental protection route
Looking back, the government's governance of the packaging and printing industry in 2014 basically did not leave the theme of green environmental protection. At the same time, policy also gave a lot of support. Flexible packaging enterprises should and must take the green environmental protection route, which is not only to comply with the policy, but also to consider the long-term interests.
Since December 2014, the industry has implemented a new gravure printing standard, and the new standard also clearly indicates that it is a green environmental protection standard. At present, many flexible packaging enterprises have adopted environmental protection facilities, including VOCs recovery device, energy-saving pump, and flexible printing and solvent-free composite. As always, the soft packaging industry should go on in 2015.
Treasure 3: who can grasp the combination of the Internet and traditional industries is the winner
The development trend of the Internet is very rapid, and we also see many enterprises have made their homes because of the Internet. There are also enterprises in the flexible packaging industry are constantly exploring how to better use the Internet to develop business, and the effect is good. Cloud printing, food packaging app, Taobao, Alibaba and other platforms have been tried, but they are not mature enough.
In the future, flexible packaging enterprises should continue to explore how to properly use the Internet as a big platform, find the right combination point, and I believe that there will be great achievements.
Treasure 4: do not buy equipment blindly to expand production capacity
The market is changing fast and volatile. Just like solvent-free composite equipment, it was not accepted by manufacturers when it came to China, but its development momentum is very fierce in the past two years. Investment in any equipment is risky. Flexible packaging enterprises should do a good job in their own future development trend analysis, as a guide to choose suitable equipment for themselves, rather than see what others use, what others say is good for themselves, which is easy to destroy themselves.
Treasure 5: paying attention to policy changes and winning policy subsidies are of great help to the development of enterprises
In the past two years, the government's support for the development of enterprises has been pouring out. The policies that the flexible packaging industry can grasp include: the government's support for the development of small and micro enterprises, the support for enterprises adopting green environmental protection facilities, and subsidies for high-tech enterprises. In fact, these are policies to promote the development of flexible packaging enterprises. Is it not a good thing to make full use of them and make profits from them?
It can be seen from the annual reports of some listed enterprises that the net profit of some enterprises may be 30 million yuan a year, and the policy subsidies received in the current year alone are more than 10 million yuan. We can imagine how much the policy subsidies can promote the development of enterprises.
Baodian 6: improving production efficiency is a necessary medicine for all enterprises
Whether it is soft package factory or equipment factory or film factory, improving productivity is the common pursuit of all, and it is also a good medicine for enterprises to reduce costs. This requires enterprises to strengthen production management and make reasonable plans for the production process of printing workshop and compound workshop. We should know that there is a lot of money hidden in many neglected details.
Treasure 7: make full use of the talents of the staff
In recent years, the proportion of labor cost in enterprise cost is increasing. Because of this, enterprises should fully tap the talents of employees, give them opportunities to reflect their own value, and maximize the benefits they bring to enterprises. Why not make the best of both worlds?
Take the soft package factory as an example. The printing assistant hopes to develop into a printer chief, the printer chief hopes to develop into a production leader, and the production team leader hopes to develop into a production manager Every employee has his own target position. The enterprise should give employees hints that as long as they work hard, there will be good results, instead of making employees work every day without seeing the future.
Baodian 8: regular maintenance equipment, regular personnel training
"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first". From this sentence, we can see how important the regular maintenance of equipment is. Enterprises must not think that maintenance equipment costs money, these are actually in order to save more money in subsequent production. Just imagine, if due to a moment of negligence, equipment failure, shipping problems, to the customer can not pay the difference, the customer lost not to say, there may be a huge amount of compensation?
If the equipment is well maintained, the technicians should also keep up with the pace. Regular personnel training can impart the latest technical knowledge to employees, and also can continuously consolidate the skills and knowledge of employees. It is very helpful to improve the production efficiency.
