The Richest Man Yang Fei

Of course Yang Fei didn't come to check the sanitation work.

He is looking for problems in the production process.

Although Yang Fei seldom came to the toothpaste factory, he did not relax his supervision of the factory.

He uses the toothpaste produced by his own factory every day, three times in the morning, noon and evening, and still uses three different toothpastes.

Yang Fei recently discovered that the quality of toothpaste has declined.

He had wanted to come and see it a long time ago, but he had been busy with dealer conferences and advertising bidding, so he had no time to come here until recently.

Judging from Yang Fei's experience, the smell of toothpaste is mostly due to the infection of microorganisms during the production process.

Ordinary consumers may not feel anything, but Yang Fei is not only brushing teeth, but also inspecting toothpaste, so he is very careful, so he can find out.

Microorganisms commonly found in toothpaste production include molds and yeasts, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, fecal coliforms, and Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

The total number of bacterial colonies is mainly used as a sign to determine the degree of contamination of food products. At present, the national regulation on the total number of bacterial colonies in toothpaste shall not exceed 500cfu/g.

As long as the total number of colonies meets the national standard, there is no problem with toothpaste.

But Yang Fei has stricter requirements on his own products!

On top of the national standard, Yang Fei has his own set of more stringent standards.

There are many ways of microbial contamination in toothpaste, such as air pollution, raw material pollution, production water pollution, production equipment pollution, container and pipeline system pollution, and production personnel pollution.

In the toothpaste production process, the control of microorganisms refers to the technical solutions used to kill pathogenic microorganisms on the transmission medium.

After years of hard work, the technical experts of German Budig International Co., Ltd. have developed the Octex special agent for disinfection, sterilization and antiseptic. Broad-spectrum, bactericidal, mildew-removing, anti-corrosion special agent.

Octex can quickly kill more than 200 types of microorganisms including spores, bacterial spores, fungal spores, actinomycetes, mycobacteria, yeasts, molds and mycotoxins, viruses, and meet the requirements of commercial sterility.

At the same time of disinfection and sterilization, Octex can be reduced to oxygen and water by itself without leaving any traces, no secondary pollution, and is environmentally safe.

Since the 1990s, my country's health management department has approved that Octex can be used in water treatment, food processing, aquaculture, and deodorization.

The toothpaste factory also adopts the Octex sterilization method.

However, in the production process, it is inevitable to leave various bacterial infections.

The toothpaste Yang Fei used, as soon as he felt something was wrong, he knew something went wrong in the production process.

Walking and touching, Yang Fei's white gloves gradually turned gray and then black again.

Li Liangzhao smiled awkwardly: "Boss, many of these are dead corners of hygiene, so there is some dust. In fact, our factory's quality control management is the best."

Yang Fei stayed behind, pointed to the machine and said, "The pollution of the production equipment will cause hygiene problems for toothpaste. Some dead corners of the production equipment will adhere to static paste, and it is very easy to breed and multiply bacteria. If it is not cleaned in time, it may fall into the toothpaste. Contaminate the paste in the pot, and even cause serious pollution.”

Li Liangzhao repeatedly said yes.

Yang Fei said: "I'm not here to pick anyone's thorns, I'm here to solve the problem. Director Li, do you usually come to the workshop?"

"Well, here we come."

"There will be more in the future. As the top manager of the factory, you have an inescapable responsibility for all departments in the factory, you know?"

"Yes, boss."

"In addition, compared with other production links, the containers and pipelines in the workshop are more difficult to sterilize and disinfect, and it is not easy to completely kill the microorganisms inside the pipelines. Because the production pipelines have not been purified and disinfected for a long time, the production water is infected with bacteria when passing through the pipelines. , mold, yeast, etc., will produce a layer of biofilm after long-term use.”

"Well, it makes sense."

"Biofilm is mainly composed of microorganisms mixed with some impurities and adsorbed on the inner wall for a long time.

A film with a strong stickiness. In addition, the small diameter of the water pipe, many bends, and slow water flow make it difficult to clean and replace. These blind spots are exactly what we need to pay attention to. "

"Yes, boss. The inside of the pipe is indeed a bit dirty, but it's not easy to clean."

"In this way, when shutting down for maintenance every week, let's clean up the containers and pipelines along the way! We must strictly demand ourselves, and treat every link in production with the attitude of a major international brand."

"What the boss said is very true. Then add a work rule, and require cleaning of containers and pipes during weekly shutdown maintenance."

Li Liangzhao couldn't help sighing, the boss looked young, but he was so old-fashioned!

Not to mention a young man like Yang Fei, even Li Liangzhao has been immersed in this trip for more than ten years, and he didn't think about these details!

Yang Fei said: "Also, the quality of raw materials must be controlled. You must always remember that the product is the life of the factory! Only better and better products can produce better and better benefits!"

Li Liangzhao said: "We always only buy the best raw materials."

Yang Fei said: "Our toothpaste, which abrasive is used now?"

"Calcium carbonate." Li Liangzhao replied, "This kind of abrasive is cheap and easy to get. We use precipitated calcium carbonate, which is better than calcite, and the friction is not so strong, and it will cause less damage to tooth enamel. .”

Yang Fei said: "Well, this is quite conscientious. Those small toothpaste factories all use calcite. I know that you are out of cost control considerations. I suggest that you use water-insoluble sodium metaphosphate or α Aluminum hydroxide is used in combination with calcium pyrophosphate crystals. These raw materials are a little more expensive, but they have moderate friction and better compatibility with fluoride.”

Li Liangzhao thought for a while and said, "Boss, why don't we only use these relatively expensive raw materials in high-end toothpaste? After all, the low-price market is also our advantage. For more consumers, what they need It’s an inexpensive toothpaste that doesn’t care what’s good or bad about any of the ingredients.”

Yang Fei hummed: "Yes."

Seeing that his opinion was adopted by Yang Fei, Li Liangzhao smiled slightly, thinking that the boss is good enough to listen to his opinion.

Yang Fei said: "Talk about the decline in sales! What do you say?"

Li Liangzhao pondered: "Boss, I don't think the problem lies in the products. The quality of our products has always been stable."

Yang Fei said: "Well, then, is there any way for you to increase sales?"

Li Liangzhao said: "To be honest, our market share is already very high. Among other brands of toothpaste on the market, only a few foreign brands can compare with us."

Yang Fei said: "Since the number of users is fixed, it is difficult to open up new markets. Under this premise, we can make the opening of the toothpaste bigger! The opening becomes larger, and the amount of toothpaste squeezed out by consumers will increase each time. If the length of toothpaste is doubled, the sales of our toothpaste will be doubled!"

When Li Liangzhao and others heard this idea, they were all inexplicably shocked. They all felt that this was really a stroke of genius, a genius idea! 8)
