Four Elements of Wooden Door Coating Cost Control


For wooden door manufacturing enterprises, painting technology is the most important part in the production process of wooden door. At the same time, cost control and operation management of wooden door painting are the most difficult to control in the whole manufacturing process. Therefore, many business owners often sigh that other costs are well controlled, that is, the cost control of painting does not know where to start.

For wooden door manufacturing enterprises, painting technology is the most important part in the production process of wooden door. At the same time, cost control and operation management of wooden door painting are the most difficult to control in the whole manufacturing process. Therefore, many business owners often sigh that other costs are well controlled, that is, the cost control of painting does not know where to start.

At the same time, some business owners simply regard the purchase price control of paint as the cost control of the whole coating, thinking that as long as the purchase price of paint is reduced, the coating cost can be reduced. The fact is not so simple.

Under the condition that the quality remains unchanged, the cost control of painting mainly consists of the following four elements:

(1) purchasing cost of paint

many people think that the purchase cost of paint is the price control of paint. In fact, this statement is too simple. Paint, as a special raw material, is hard to see the quality and characteristics of the product on the surface. The paint bought is often very cheap, but the final coating cost is higher than others. Why is this happening? This is because some managers of furniture factories and wooden door factories only pay attention to the price of products, ignore the internal quality of products, and ignore the real cost of products-unit coating cost. Excellent managers must pursue the essence of things rather than appearances.

In the market, you can always see a paint product cheaper than one. For some small paint factories that lack sense of responsibility and are eager for quick success and instant benefits, customers can produce more cheap paint products and ensure sufficient profits. For these coating factories, it can greatly reduce the cost by reducing the solid content, resin content, stability, safety and environmental protection of the coating, and replace normal raw materials with waste recycling, the national product standards and safety and environmental protection requirements are all put aside. In case something happens to the product one day, closing the door is a small matter, you can change to another place and open it again.

The author has visited many door factories, and some bosses of small and medium-sized door factories often say to me, "the paint I bought is already very cheap, but the square paint cost of the produced door is 170~200 yuan". However, many large door factories, the price of paint purchased is not cheap, but the quality of the door made is excellent, and the cost of square paint can be controlled within 140 yuan, or even less. One of the reasons has a considerable relationship with the above content.

(2) selection of painting process

it is very important to control the coating cost and select the process. In the market, we often see that several factories choose products from one coating factory, but the final coating costs vary greatly, the biggest reason is the gap caused by the selection of technology.

For this reason, we have conducted a lot of analysis and research on the coating processes used by door factories at home and abroad, and found that some processes save time and some processes save cost, some of the processes are particularly effective. Through the above analysis and practical operation of various situations, and under the condition of summarizing and integrating everyone's advantages, we also put forward some creative process designs, and it has been recognized by all customers in the process of market application.

Here, I would like to give you a suggestion. When you choose a paint product, this paint factory will provide you with products, products plus process design and recommend; If the former, I suggest you think deeply (unless you think your existing craft is the most perfect); It is appropriate to choose the latter, because the latter is for the effect of your products, the efficiency and cost of production are worrying about; It is doing the responsibility of a partner, not just a simple businessman, selling products to you.

(3) control of rework rate of painting

the cost waste caused by rework is amazing and is often ignored by managers. If a product is reworked, the overall cost of rework will be three times that of initial cost.

How can we reduce the rework rate?

First of all, leaders always attach importance to it.

Secondly, we should choose a paint brand with good stability.

Thirdly, pay attention to statistics and analysis, find out the main reasons that affect the quality, and start from solving and controlling these reasons, so as to reduce the rework rate of painting.

At the same time, do a good job in the operation standard process requirements of key positions. With operating standards, we can learn, operate correctly, and better control human errors.

Finally, improve the quality of personnel. All work is operated by people. Only when the quality of personnel is improved can the quality of work be improved and the return rate be reduced.

(4) comprehensive quality of operators

in any industry or enterprise, people are always the most important key factor.

In the process of visiting furniture factories and wooden door factories, the author found a phenomenon: some particularly excellent enterprises have a common characteristic-good at learning and improvement. This may be the reason why these enterprises are more successful than other enterprises.

At the same time, we often encounter that some managers and operators of enterprises are unwilling to accept changes. When we propose some new technologies in a targeted way, we often answer in one sentence: we have always done this. We are not willing to do experiments and comparisons. Even if the comparison tests prove that the new process can greatly reduce costs and improve efficiency, we are not willing to go online for production and application.

Some business owners, on the one hand, want to reduce manufacturing costs, on the other hand, do not want to change, or are afraid of change. You can imagine what the result will be if others are making progress and standing still.

As long as you are good at learning, change and progress, and then choose a truly excellent paint supplier, the control of coating cost will definitely have a good result.

Personally, I think the standard of truly excellent coating suppliers: they can provide stable and cost-effective coating products; Pay more attention to the actual cost of customers (cost per unit coating area); have a deep understanding of the industries served, have in-depth research on various technologies, and can provide constructive operability solutions to furniture factories and wooden door factories; Pay attention to the production process of customers, assist customers in training in painting application and management.
