Newspaper Printing Development and Material Management Modernization

Newspaper Printing Development and Material Management Modernization

The printing industry is a processing industry. The economic benefits are derived from the careful management and detailed accounting of the production process. The material and material management as the main cost item occupies a very important position in the print management of newspapers. Under the modern enterprise system, the material management of newspaper printing enterprises must also shift from extensive management to scientific management. Using modern management techniques, scientific management and comprehensive accounting of the import, export, and storage of printed materials should be conducted.
I. Material management is one of the key contents of printing management in newspapers. Printing materials are mainly used to produce raw and auxiliary materials. It is one of the largest cost items in printing production and is one of the important contents of modern enterprise management. The management level of deposits and other links directly affects the economic benefits of the entire company, and has a fundamental impact on other management elements such as product quality, publishing time efficiency, and production cost. In order to enter the market and participate in fierce competition, newspaper printing must reduce costs, improve product quality, ensure publishing efficiency, and increase labor productivity in order to increase market competitiveness.
Since the 1990s, the development of the newspaper industry has been very rapid, and the situation of colorization and multiple editions of newspapers has been formed. Newspaper printing as a means of newspaper publishing has also developed rapidly. In recent years, in order to adapt to the ever-increasing newspaper publishing requirements, all newspaper printing factories have increased their investment in fixed assets, the production scale has increased exponentially, and the level of product quality has also steadily increased. Under such circumstances, the complexity of the management of the printing presses of various newspapers has continuously increased, and the variety and quantity of printed materials have increased rapidly. In particular, the publication of color newspapers has made the printing process more complicated, and the quality of printed materials has been raised. High demand.
As the printing material management of the largest cost item in newspaper production, it is necessary to fully explore the cost potential of material management and reduce material consumption. This is the first problem that must be solved in strengthening management. Establishing a scientific printing material management system, improving the material management system, and scientifically managing the import, sales, and storage of materials and establishing cost awareness are the inevitable requirements for the reform and development of newspaper printing enterprises.
The material management printed by the newspaper includes not only raw and auxiliary materials for production, but also office supplies, tools, and labor insurance products. The value of these materials is not high and generally does not directly affect production. However, from the management point of view, serious management and accounting are also required.
Second, with the production, technology, quality management, the performance indicators of raw and auxiliary materials directly affect the quality of printed products, quality management, inevitably involve raw material quality analysis. The impact of various raw material performance indicators on product quality is very obvious. We cannot say that general raw materials cannot produce high-quality products. However, improving the performance of materials is the most direct way to improve quality. At the same time, purchasing raw materials based on actual production characteristics is also a guarantee. The important content of product quality. The performance of any raw material such as paper, ink, plate material, and film will have a direct impact on the print quality of a piece of paper. When printing color papers, paper with poor quality is used to reproduce dots, color reproduction, and registration accuracy. There is a considerable gap in the import of paper; a product with higher quality requirements must have corresponding raw material guarantees, otherwise it will not be possible to fundamentally guarantee product quality. Each plant has different equipment and different process conditions. The requirements for raw and auxiliary materials are also different. Some materials are used on Roland machines without problems. They are not necessarily easy to use on KBA and Goss machines. All kinds of raw materials have a great relationship with the actual production of each plant. A kind of material can be used well in one plant and not necessarily easy to be used in another. It is necessary to rationally arrange the procurement of raw and auxiliary materials according to different production characteristics. Good cooperation with the actual production. Printed materials management personnel should not copy the experience of other factories and think that other plants can use it and force the factory to use it. For example, lasers of various brands have different wavelengths of light source and different sizes. The type and size of the applicable film are not necessarily the same. These materials managers must be clear. There are many types of raw and auxiliary materials printed by newspapers, and corresponding raw materials must be selected appropriately for different requirements. For example, there are great differences between newspapers, plates, papers, and black-and-white newspapers.
It is necessary to carry out regular and irregular quality inspections on various major raw materials, find problems, provide timely feedback, establish a printing factory's own quality inspection system, and provide certain inspection methods. Some newspaper companies used a lot of imported materials in the past. With cost accounting further strengthened, the scope of use of domestically produced materials will surely expand. In the current situation where the quality of domestically produced raw materials is still not satisfactory, more attention should be paid to the good cooperation between material management and technology, and the amount of raw materials should be controlled. When a new material is selected, careful performance comparisons must be performed first. If you plan to use a new plate, you must first try it out and collect the trials by the technical department. After the quality is determined, you can arrange to purchase in bulk. During the use process, you also need the technical department to deal with various types of plates. Performance parameters for certain process adjustments, such as exposure time, flushing conditions, etc., in order to ensure the smooth use of production. The technical department must participate in the management and review of printed materials. The production workshop should carefully understand the performance indicators of raw and auxiliary materials, and form an effective print quality management and feedback system.
Third, do a good job of inventory management, inventory management for production services is the basic work of material management, reflected in many management data. In recent years, the print production scale of newspapers has been continuously expanding, and the variety and requirements of products are not the same. The amount of raw materials required has been continuously increasing. Extensive inventory management has not been adapted to the needs of newspaper printing and development.
Serving well for production is the fundamental task of inventory management. Each index of inventory must be determined according to the actual production. For example, the minimum inventory, the highest inventory, the maximum purchase amount, and the control of inventory types of certain materials must be determined based on the actual production on the premise of ensuring the production needs. At the same time, we must make timely adjustments according to changes in production conditions. In terms of quantity, the minimum inventory quantity must guarantee the production demand for a certain period of time, the maximum inventory quantity should be controlled within a few months' usage, and the restriction of the inventory type should be based on the actual production adjustment requirements, which is very time-sensitive. The newspaper industry is very important.
The establishment of a strict stock keeping system, standardized code placement, accurate quantity, clear marking, periodic inventory, and scientific custody are very important contents. It is the basic requirement for material management, and all levels of supervisors must pay full attention to this. For example, paper in the newspaper industry is one of the larger cost items. During the transportation, storage, and use of paper, the deformation and breakage of webs is the biggest problem of paper waste. Therefore, it is correct to regulate and handle the transportation. Code puts all very high demands.
One of the means for the scientific management of printed materials is to implement classification control. Based on the classification, different management strategies and control methods are applied to various types of material objects. Key materials, which have major impacts on production and operations, such as paper, ink, plate, film, etc., must be subject to key management. For some key materials, such as bearings, oil, tools, electric materials, etc., there are many varieties and small flows. If the funds are not used, general management shall be carried out. In order to actually manage the printed materials economically and efficiently, the ABC management method in management can be cited to form the ABC inventory management theory. For example, if we classify the film as A, we will adjust the original film account from level 1 to level 3, and calculate separately from the three levels of variety, specification, and brand, effectively improving the quality of film management. Benefits have received very clear results.
Fourth, put a good cargo clearance, improve the use of funds to enhance the management of various raw materials, to establish a set of effective management mechanisms, to improve the efficiency of capital use, reduce production costs is very important. The supply of goods is not only a matter of buying the necessary materials, but also the management and accounting of materials. What to buy, when to buy, and how much to buy should all be done in accordance with scientific laws. For many years, our material procurement managers generally think that if they can buy things back, they can be managed well. With the progress of newspaper printing enterprise reform, scientific management must be carried out from all aspects, and material management personnel must also constantly learn to improve management level and understanding of technical processes in order to meet the requirements of newspaper printing and development.
The purchase of printing materials should pay attention to relevant factors such as variety, quality, quantity, time, price, etc., and make overall plans, especially in brands, vendors and channels, and establish a sound supervision mechanism to prevent the occurrence of one or two persons. In the final say, the purchase of printed materials must have a strict set of rules and procedures to form a good control mechanism. In the proposed purchase plan, purchase approval, quantity and quality control, price quality review, acceptance, and reimbursement, mutual restrictions, strict implementation of national laws and regulations and the factory's various rules and regulations. According to the status quo of the current printing materials buyer's market, another significance of the good goods clearance is to form a good atmosphere of brand-to-brand quality, the same brand ratio price, the same price ratio service, and eliminate unnecessary human factors. Grading the management of various materials is a basic job for the management of material procurement. In the procurement process, important materials and funds that have important influences on production quality occupy relatively large quantities of materials, and strict management is required. For some low-value materials, relatively coarse management can be performed. Classification can refer to the classification of inventory management. get on.
The supervisors of production materials and materials at all levels should have a clear understanding of the market conditions of printed materials. The market for printing materials is changing rapidly and the operating channels are complex. We must take the initiative in printing materials management. It is very important to establish a credit rating evaluation mechanism for suppliers. Under market economy conditions, some businesses do not exclude some normal business activities for economic interests. In the work, the suppliers are continuously screened according to the degree of creditworthiness, and evaluations are made from the aspects of product quality, delivery time, service, purchase channel, price, company management, and credit level, etc., and some suppliers with poor credit standing are stopped in time. Business contacts avoid unnecessary troubles and losses.
The purchase of printed materials under market economy conditions also requires certain planning. According to the needs of the factory, we must formulate plans that are in line with the actual situation and plan and manage material procurement. In this way, we can have a general grasp of the raw materials of the whole plant, and make overall plans for varieties, brands, and quantities, which is very important for improving the efficiency of capital utilization. Procurement work should be planned more rigorously. The monthly plan and annual plan should be clear and correspond with the actual production, and the unplanned materials must be strictly controlled.
In addition to the purchase plan for production, the procurement of materials also requires attention to the process requirements. Recently, various kinds of new printing materials have emerged constantly. The quality and price are also very different. The use of high quality and low price products is the basic principle of material management. We cannot and should not exclude any new products.
5. Refine the consumption targets of various raw materials and reduce production costs. Printing companies are processing-type enterprises. Under the circumstances of extremely fierce market competition, reducing raw material consumption and thus lowering production costs are the main means for ensuring the profit rate of the company's output value. Therefore, the management departments of printed materials are required to not only manage the advances and deposits, but also manage the sales of materials and materials. It is necessary to establish strict and reasonable consumption indicators for the consumption of various raw materials in the production department, and to reduce the consumption of raw materials through necessary rewards and penalties to reduce production costs.
First of all, we must implement quota management for the consumption of various raw materials and establish a sound system of rewards and punishments. The basis of this work is the verification of the consumption quota, and the data should be scientific and reasonable. Based on the actual production and process characteristics of production, reference should be made to the mature experience of other brothers and plants to establish a practical and feasible consumption quota. The focus of this work is still on all major raw materials, such as paper, ink, plate, film, etc., due to the large amount of use and high cost, which need to be controlled. As the market change process of newspaper business has just begun, some work is still not perfect. Paying attention to the management of fixed consumption of raw materials will greatly reduce production costs.
Second, to implement the rewards and punishments, production workshops, warehouses, accounts must be well coordinated, timely delivery, in order to effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of employees. A corresponding system shall be established in the workshop to allocate indicators to teams, machines, and tables so that the consumption of raw materials is implemented for each specific operator.
