Inventory 庫存


多美麗的輕井澤之旅...

日本輕井澤想必你一定聽過,或許你已經去過或是想去的地方.回想服務的公司有始以來唯一的一次國外旅遊,也是公司營業狀況最好的時候.並且是營業額步步高昇的時後.那次的旅遊雖在秋天,但也是相當不錯的時候.泡湯活動及呼吸清晰的空氣另人振奮. 然而其中也另我想起一段往事...

產品的生產往往是需要時間,尤其IC元件需要更長,一般3-4個月的時間.公司做的產品,如果不是有一些重量級客戶,預估銷售將很難準確,往往憑藉著業務人員及老板的感覺去抓預估值.這將有什麼後果?運氣好的話,客戶如期消掉生產的貨物;不幸的話,將造成一堆庫存.如果此產品是很單純,成本便宜.就算是庫存,大不了不會構成太大的壓力.但是如果此產品單價高,那可慘了.不僅原先賺的利潤全部泡湯,留下的更是難處理了.就算要便宜銷售,一點都沒機會.因為時效性及市場已都不在.而且如果產品並不是一般消費者必須品的話,那更慘的.當時公司到日本旅遊時,老闆在進日本關時,連絡台灣的客戶後,認為可以追加生產預估量.身為業務負責的我,只好屈就下通知生產單位,增加該產品量.然而3-4個月後,發現市場需求及產品不對時,已嚴重造成呆滯庫存.我也難逃負責的去面對問題的責任.

回想到此一段快樂的旅遊帶來的後遺症,人往往無法記取教訓,如果公司的系統未完成建立,可想而知,問題依然存在的.面對問題的處理態度才是應該去建立及學習的.沒有一百分的解決方案,只有將公司受傷的程度降到最低,才是主事者應該考慮到的.

輕井澤是日本皇室避暑勝地,玩過後仍然希望有機會再去一遊呢.

Attractive System


I have a friend, he founded the company for more than 15 years. Most of the employee came from software technical background. The founders are professors with their students in the same college.

They develop the web based authorizing tool. Users can develop their fantastic web site. The company got government project every years. But, the business still keep in small without much progress.

The friend has many elder retire people friends who can provide experience to him. Those elder people are the other field company board members before. They know much much succeed experience and vision. According to their comments, my friend company has the big problem on "system". The company didn't create a system which can provide the company efficiency.

A good system must provide the finance, sales, production, and developing with efficiency supply chain. The communication between the departments are very important. How to avoid the bottleneck for the system, there are some indicators:
1. specific company goal
2. the company culture
3. a training practical
4. planning and execution
5. risk control capability
6. performance review and reward policy
7. an absorbed and persisted enthusiasm

Maybe the friend didn't find the suitable way to improve.But, he has the item 7 attitude, and focus on the target business. I believe that they will be getting better finally.
