For cost control considerations, or new business development, printing companies are inevitably exposed to raw material testing and usage problems. There are many aspects that need to be noted here. A brief description will be made below.
1 Analysis
For new business, we need to choose new raw materials. At this time, the choice of raw materials is very particular. First, the products delivered to customers need to meet the requirements of use, and the cost must be calculated to ensure profitability. Mainly should be done: â‘ Select raw materials based on various data of product performance required by customers and analyze relevant data of various raw materials. This selection criterion is practicability and applicability; â‘¡After selecting raw materials based on new products developed, Appropriate production processes should be worked out and the utilization rates of various raw materials such as paper utilization rate and layout utilization rate should be designed and then put into practice in actual production.
2 Detection
When using raw materials, it is imperative to test the raw materials. This test should follow the standards and methods established by the country and industry standards agreed upon by the supplier and the buyer. In addition, it should be clarified that the raw material testing should be based on the manufacturer, that is, the testing should be moved to the production link, with the process inspection as the main part and the final inspection as the supplement to ensure that the raw materials produced meet the customer's use requirements, because When the demand side inspection and verification of raw materials are unqualified, it will cause great losses to both parties. Now the supply and demand sides should follow a mutually beneficial relationship, so when the inspection is moved to the production link of the manufacturer, the raw materials can be guaranteed to the maximum extent The product quality is stable and qualified. Although the testing is mainly based on the supplier, it does not mean that the buyer does not test. At this time, the buyer's testing is mainly to test and verify the performance of the raw materials provided by the supplier. Another point is that the buyer should be based on the actual use Explore the relevant raw material data and feed back to the supplier, so that the raw materials can be continuously improved in order to better serve the production and final product use.
3 Judge suppliers
When choosing brand-new raw materials, one principle should be followed, that is, to judge the relevant suppliers. This judgment is not only to check the business license and operating status of the enterprise, but also include the supply status of the raw materials produced by them in the industry. And the use situation, and then use these materials as an important basis for the selection of raw materials. The status of large enterprises is relatively good, and those smaller companies have certain difficulties in judging. At this time, the company ’s credibility, supply cycle and long-term development status should be added to the judging criteria. .
4 Initial test
When both the supplier and the raw materials are confirmed to be selected, the selected raw materials must be tested. In order to avoid losses for both the supply and demand sides, the trial must also start with a small batch trial. The initial test of this raw material must have a certain purpose, mainly including observing and verifying whether the performance of the raw material is consistent with that reflected in actual production, and confirming the product ink color and specifications in actual production. The product undergoes a series of related tests in order to have a certain perceptual understanding of the requirements of the end product users and provide qualified end products to customers.
5 Pilot
When the raw materials pass the initial test, it does not mean that the raw materials can be put into formal production and use, because there is a checkpoint after the initial test and before the batch use, that is, the raw material pilot test, in addition to continuing to verify the relevant test items of the initial test, The final product produced should also be sent to the user for trial use, and then corresponding feedback on the raw material performance, production process, etc. should be made for the feedback provided by the user, and the corresponding improvement opinions should be made on the raw material, and the corresponding test will continue in the future. There is still another work, which is to conduct a cost analysis for the pilot test in order to determine the overall cost value geometry of the application of such raw materials.
6 Feedback on the use of bulk raw materials
The raw materials can be used in batches after passing the pilot test, but because the raw materials that passed the pilot test will inevitably have one or other problems when they are mass-produced, used, and the final product is used on the client side, so it is also necessary The raw materials supplied in batches should be tracked accordingly. It should mainly include comparative testing with reference to the raw material testing data during the pilot test, production process use status, comprehensive cost comparison analysis with reference to the use of mature raw materials used in the past, the use of the final product on the client side and user requirements for the product, etc. Various data and information, and then put forward corresponding improvements to the raw material suppliers in a targeted manner and continue to track them in future use until the raw material supplier becomes a qualified supplier, but it should be noted that it becomes a qualified supplier After that, only the follow-up inspection of each batch was changed to random inspection, not the cancellation of the inspection of raw materials.
7 Track the market for continuous improvement
Raw materials are made into final products and recognized by customers is not a good thing, because packaging and printing companies are in the service area during the entire product manufacturing process, shouldering the responsibility to ensure that the packaging looks beautiful and meets the relevant strength requirements and other requirements. In order to achieve the recognition of customers, final consumers and other relevant audiences, packaging and printing companies should also track the status of the final product in the market, so as to determine the status of the packaging product and then integrate the feedback of the user of the packaging product to propose corresponding improvements to the raw materials , And continue to track in the subsequent production and use, to achieve the goal of continuous improvement until the final audience is satisfied.
8 Judging the quality status of long-term raw material suppliers
Qualified raw material suppliers for long-term supply should also establish evaluation criteria, which should include: whether there are fluctuations in raw material-related data within a certain period of time, use efficiency in actual production, qualified product rate, quality status, etc. The completion status of the item data, whether the supply cycle is in place, whether the after-sales service is timely, whether the improvement measures meet the standard, and whether the price (should be based on the overall cost of actual production) is fair, etc. Afterwards, a comprehensive evaluation of these items is carried out, and then the raw material suppliers are scored and graded, and referenced in future continuous procurement, so as to introduce a competition mechanism in the raw material suppliers, so that the raw material suppliers have a sense of urgency in order to make certain To a certain extent, it restricts raw material suppliers to provide more suitable raw materials in all aspects.
The selection and use of raw materials occupies a very important position in the development of an enterprise, and the selection of the best (the best comprehensive performance such as cost performance and credibility) raw materials plays a decisive role in all aspects of the development of the enterprise, so Enterprises should put the selection and use of raw materials at a strategic level, and this selection criterion should be derived from practice, used in practice and follow the principle of not choosing the best and only the most suitable.
