It is said that a large daily company, soap production line above the packaging may be leaking packets of soap problem. The company's president ordered a team of experts led by the doctor to tackle the problem. The research team used the world's most sophisticated technology (such as infrared detection, laser irradiation, etc.), after spending a large amount of U.S. dollars and six months after the completion of the soap box detection system, the detection of empty soap box, the robot will be empty box out. This method will effectively reduce the empty soap box to less than 5%, the problem is basically solved.
Another township soap enterprises also encountered similar problems, the boss ordered the high school graduation assembly line foreman to solve, after a half-day thinking, the foreman took an electric fan to the end of the production line of the conveyor, those who did not fill the soap box due to light weight is blown down by the wind.
This is a widely spread of chicken soup story, the story from a different perspective can be derived from different points of view, such as point 1: China's education system is rigid, doctoral students will not be flexible; Views 2: The Practice of truth, junior high school graduates in the practice of the experience is far more important than the knowledge of doctoral students in the school ; point 3: Recruitment can not see Education; point 4: High-tech is not necessarily practical and so on, anyway, basically junior high school foreman finally have a chance to win Berson experts, elated a. Of course, there are many points of view to be dialectical analysis, proved that the doctor is still better than the junior foreman. More accustomed to the mean people put forward this question to two-sided view, to the actual look, junior Foreman and doctor experts have the merit, also have to improve the place, two people should learn from each other.
The last time I saw this story is still high school students, once again to see that has been working for 4 years of Product manager, the formation of occupational diseases let me habitually from the perspective of the product to see the story, may wish to analyze.
First clear the story of what is the product, soap is the company's products, to be made to consumer-oriented, the production line is also a product, the user of this product is their own, used to produce soap. So the first question comes: production line This product two who's good?
Let's start by sorting out the information you can get from the story.
From the text can be seen, two manufacturers are themselves to maintain the production line of this product, but the two inputs of manpower and resources are different, encountered problems when Township soap factory is to let junior foreman part-time maintenance, a large company is composed of Berson led expert Group specialized research solution. Common sense according to here can judge this large company's production line is certainly better than Township enterprises, do not worry, judge the product is not only by common sense.
What is a good product, a good product of the first standard is to be able to meet the needs of users, just said the user is the production line is the enterprise itself, demand is the production of empty box rate within a certain range of good soap. The soap is not good this standard because the information is too little to judge, so the empty box rate is the sole criterion of judging the production line merits. Before the two enterprises to solve the problem, no data to determine who the empty box rate is higher, for the moment, the two production line 1.0 empty box rate is the same, you can think that the two enterprises of the production line of the 1.0 version of the good or bad.
2.0 version, the data on the 2.0 version of the large-scale production line of the empty box rate is less than 5%, and township Enterprises, 2.0 version of the empty box rate is 0%, so to meet user demand this point, the production line of 2.0 version than the large Enterprise 2.0 version of the good.
Two of the 1.0 versions are now experiencing problems and need to iterate over the update. Then the second measure of the quality of the product is: iteration speed. The speed of the iteration is based on the product itself and the user's use of the measurement, of course, is not simple as soon as possible, such as a mobile phone reader software, 7 days a day to release two updated version, even if each version is a major update to solve some major bugs, add some important modules, This iterative update speed will only give the user the feeling of insecurity and frustration to uninstall the application. In this story, the user of the product is the enterprise itself, the product's tool-based attributes determine that once a major bug must be resolved as soon as possible, the resolution of the Bug 2.0 version of the speed of the line is a measure of the quality of the product is a standard. At this point there is no doubt that township soap factory is far better than large companies, they used a half day to solve the bug completed the 2.0 version of the line, and large companies spent half a year, in the iteration speed this point, township enterprises have won again.
The third standard for judging the product is the user experience, the user experience not only refers to the appearance, and the story of the production line of the user is their own, so the appearance of the judge is very low in the proportion, high-tech machinery Tentacle is certainly better than the fan, and then eggs. Enterprises are more concerned about the ease of operation of the production line as well as maintainability, convenience, the same, do not need to be supervised, automatic operation, maintainability is obvious than the high-tech machinery of the tentacles better, the fan is the market is a common mass production of goods, very easy to maintain replacement, This high-tech machine is a custom-made non-production component, with maintenance and replacement costs and cycles more expensive than an electric fan. So overall, the 2.0 version of the Township enterprise production line is better than the user experience of a large company.
Judging the product is good or bad fourth general standard is the product updates in line with the main mission of the product, not deviate from the main line. A reading app, updated to become an overseas shopping app, this is not a good product iteration, the original reading app is dead, overseas shopping app is a new product. Before using this standard to compare the production line products of county town enterprises and large companies, we must first identify the design and manufacturing methods of this product. If it's all made by yourself, Then undoubtedly in this judgment standard Large company's 2.0 production line is better than Township enterprises, because it fixes the 1.0 version bug added additional modules better fit into the overall product, become part of the whole product, and the design of township Enterprises is to make up for their own shortcomings with foreign products. In future iterations, there is no doubt that the production line of large enterprises can do further optimization and innovation, and the design of township enterprises can only rely on the emergence of other electric fans in the market, which will deviate from the main line of products. If the production line of two enterprises are procurement, they are only responsible for maintenance, is undoubtedly the main line of migration products are large enterprises, the purpose of maintenance is to allow the product to better complete the original function, rather than spend a lot of manpower and material resources without iterative new version, this should be the production line of things.
Therefore, in summary, township SOAP Enterprise production Line 2.0 version than a large daily production line 2.0 version of the better.
But why most people intuitively feel that a large company's 2.0 than Township Enterprises 2.0 good, hehe:
1, not through thinking and scientific evaluation, only intuition to make judgments are often wrong;
2, small enterprises have their own advantages, the use of good can be under the siege of large companies quickly grow up;
3, large enterprises have their own advantages, if also rely on clever will play their own death, large companies to have the courage to try wrong;
4, this article only uses the empty box rate this one standard, certainly not comprehensive ^^;
