From last century is engaged in stone material industry to begin, a lot of stone material production enterprise cuts the rate of specification board to press 80% quotation when the project is quoted, at that time this principle does not know is that enterprise puts forward first, anyway it is to quote so all the time go down, connect line, cylinder, circular arc board product also is to quote so. At the beginning of this century, When I was working in a large domestic stone enterprise, I thought it was unreasonable to quote the price of line, cylinder, circular arc plate and other special-shaped products according to the engineering board output rate of 80%. I suggested to the company to adjust the output rate of special-shaped products to 65% ~ 70&, and the proposal was adopted.
In recent ten years, due to the more and more strict requirements on material quality of stone products, the increase of home decoration projects, if the material yield of the engineering board still follows the principle of 80% of the material yield in the last century, the enterprise a year down the loss estimate can not find the cause of the loss? Natural stone gives material rate to press 80% gives material after all unreasonable? My answer is not reasonable!
(1) Higher quality requirements for stone materials
Now regardless of the public or home decoration project, without exception to the material quality of stone requirements higher. A bit chromatic aberration is not good on board face, it is this kind of stone material itself is inevitable to have chromatic aberration, also not good. For example, Germany cream-colored stone, Spain cream-colored stone, such as the inevitable existence of color difference stone; Bean big color spot, black dot not line; Crack repair is not good; The grain is too thick not enough, all want fine grain; Some projects even the beautiful landscape texture is not; Stone surface repaired crack stone is not good; Broken repaired marble will not do. Now, some architectural decoration projects have strict requirements on the quality of stone materials. The bridge cutting supervisor, who once made me manage the factory with many years of bridge cutting experience, said to me that he did not know how to arrange the cutting board for such a project with such high requirements on the quality of stone materials. As a result, I went to the big board warehouse to pick the board, plan the materials, and guide the bridge cutting staff to cut the board. Over the years I have experienced a number of construction decoration projects with a production rate of less than 60%. If these projects are quoted at the traditional yield rate of 80%, the losers will complain bitterly.
Most architectural decoration projects in China adopt a bidding system, and whoever bids the lowest wins the bid. Which factor ultimately determines the bid price of a building decoration project? It is stone material of course, and the bidding price of stone material depends on that factor again? It is to determine the rise and fall of stone enterprises, "out of material rate". Win the bid with the lowest price, but want the best stone quality, believe that stone enterprise will not do so unfair, unfair stupid thing. Stone production enterprises often come out some negative news, the project won the bid at a low price after the project side of the material quality requirements are so strict, the material rate is too low, how to lose money? Shutdown bai! Without adjusting the stone quotation, I did it slowly and dragged it until the project side adjusted the price again according to the low material rate.
This contradiction is not caused by stone production enterprises, I believe that no stone production enterprises are willing to give such a back-and-forth scandal. But the realistic system of building decoration is like this, "low bid, high bid out", "low bid, high quality supply". I dont know what economic theory, what economic logic? Both low price and good quality, materials should not have such problems, such shortcomings, my standard is the standard of the product, otherwise you do I do not receive, tube you what the material rate of 80%? Sometimes its hard to face the reality of a project that offers a low price and a high quality product without sighing! Figure 1 doesnt look like a stone with problems, but the inspector of the project side just doesnt accept the board on the left of figure 1, because there is a dark shadow in the middle of the board. Figure 2 such a perfect beige stone layout effect is the sacrifice of the material rate in exchange for small black spots, small rust spots, white flowers, repair of the glue line do not, color difference do not. The yield is about 50%.
(2) Now the size of products designed for building projects is larger
In order to pursue "tall still", spell seam is little, had better be the adornment result that does not spell seam, the product of stone material does bigger more, this is good thing also is bad thing. Good thing is the product size is big, easy production, products production and processing to reduce the splicing process chain, if youre lucky, product size is too big to close to the size of the big board material yield can reach more than 90%, stone material production enterprises because of the high rate of material, if according to the material yield 80% price, stone material production enterprises from the material yield is almost 10% of the net profit. But this kind of lucky thing seems to be the skys the limit, daydream, building decoration large size stone material is often to the material rate of stone material influence greatly, to some 2200*900 windowsill board or desktop board, how can the material rate of stone material reach 80%? The external wall decorative stone to some 1500*1500 specifications, the material rate can reach 80%? Projects of this size abound. In recent years, I have been exposed to some stone projects, which affect the output rate due to the improper size. Figure 3 is a real engineering drawing. People who make stones of this size know its not easy to make them. The length of the board shall not be shorter than 2500mm, and the height shall be greater than 1620mm, otherwise the material yield will be very low.
(3) Disorganized and inconsistent effects of quantity and specifications
The specification of domestic adornment project is mixed and disorderly, do not unite to give material rate to affect very big. The products processed more in the family decoration project are background wall products, windowsill board, threshold stone, door cover, bathroom bath board, washbasin face plate. These products have their own characteristics, material varieties are not the same. Background wall products are characterized by gorgeous color, elegant texture, luxury material quality, no stone defects, large size. It cannot be used for other space when it is used up. Usually, the material yield is too low, less than 80%. Windowsill board dimension is big, material asks likewise good, give material rate to also reach less than 80%; The length of door cover plate is long, the quantity is little, the material quality requirement is high, the material yield is very low; Toilet shower board, wash ones hands the number of stage face plate is usually 1 ~ 2, the material may be same also may be different, the quantity is little size also wont be very big, give material rate is lower; As for the number and size of the threshold stone is more a headache, some area will not exceed 0.2㎡, large also will not exceed 1㎡, in this case, how to report the material rate! If the stone production and processing enterprises in the scrap material, loose, low material rate does not matter, no scrap or loose plate when this order stone production enterprises will weigh whether to undertake this order. We cant transfer the cost of a large plate to this order! Therefore, many stone production enterprises to undertake this small and miscellaneous orders will increase the price, than the public order 1.5 ~ 3 times higher, this is also reasonable. Because a few small home decoration order quantity is little, product is miscellaneous, quality requirement is high, yield is low.
(4) Special requirements on texture affect the yield
Some architectural decoration projects have special requirements on the texture of stone, the direction of the length and width (height) is not the same material yield; The rate of grain production is not the same as that of grain production. Therefore, when quoting, the output rate should be reported in accordance with the requirements of stone texture of the project. Not considering this factor may lead to the low price of the newspaper and the high price of The Times. At the end of the project, it was found that the profit of the project was very low. Take 800 (length) *1240 (width) size in FIG. 3 as an example, figure 3 in the grain straightening 800, if the size of the selected large board 2500*1650, a large board cut 3 800*1240 specification board, in this case out of the material rate is 72%. If the texture direction is changed to the direction of 1240, the size of the large plate is still 2500*1650. At this time, a large plate can be cut into four 800*1240 specification plates, and the output rate is 96%. The difference between the two is as much as 24%, it can be seen that the direction of the texture of stone specifications on the material grain is how much influence! If such a project when the processing volume is large, the material rate of error on the enterprises profit impact. Figure 3 is actually a real project. If the yield of the project is changed to the direction of c1240, the yield of the project is higher than that of the direction of C800. If quoted at a material yield of 80%, the processing enterprise undertaking this project is very cost-effective because of the higher material yield. Now lines rationalize 800 direction, theory to calculate the material rate at about 72%, and the material rate is 80%, a 8% loss, to undertake the processing enterprises because of the effect on the rate of material of this project in the aspect of material price profits caused by reduced about 8%, if the project is the number of large, to undertake the project processing enterprises loss will be huge.
(5) Natural damage in production and processing
Because now many architectural decoration project of large size, high difficulty of processing, product processing procedure in production and processing, and stone production process layout is unreasonable, semi-finished products, often from the workshop to the workshop from this procedure and go to the to the process, Monday to go over, some poor material products in the breakdown and damage during the transfer process; There are also some out of the cavity processing stone products, such as lavabo panel, bathtub whole processing panel, water cutter machine opened the cavity transfer to machining grinding edge, when the grinding workshop adhesion grinding edge because the stone cavity was dug, easy to break. The customer does not accept the fracture repair. No one will consider the natural damage items in this part of the processing before the quotation. As a reasonable and forward-looking quotation should be the processing of natural damage factors into the material rate to reduce the rate of quotation will not affect the normal profit of the enterprise. In Figure 5, natural damage in the production and processing of open products is normal and common. If it is broken during processing, it is very unlikely for the project side to accept the repair, especially for high-end residential decoration projects.
(6) The customization of stone products leads to a low output rate
Because of peoples personalities and preferences. Like zhang SAN li si products may not, leading to a stone products custom-made products more and more, need stone varieties of multifarious, custom-made production mode to stone production enterprise to bring the adverse effect is stone material rate is low, more than expected, and the remaining material is used for other orders, because varieties may be other customers dont like it, let alone the size not just the remaining material can be used for other customers. I once talked to the owner of a stone enterprise about this problem. The boss said that the rest of the customized products to be counted on the customer, the customers money. And I said to him, this is not reasonable, because the customer is buying the product, and if you have the rest of the board, the customer is going to take the rest of the board, whats the point of him taking it? Take it back and find a place to put it. If the customers money is calculated, the customer does not take away, the rest of the board left in your factory is your, this is not reasonable. I suggest 50% quotation when the material yield is lower than 60%, and the actual material yield is quoted when the material yield is higher than 60%. In this way, the same stone material will not appear because the change of the material yield will lead to the change of the product price. If the price of the white plate is 1000 yuan/square, the 10% yield will lead to the price of the product reaching 10000 yuan/square, which is obviously unfair and unreasonable for the customer. Figure 7 is a decoration order product, several threshold stones and a bath board. Do you want to make or not make this customized order product? The length of several products is not uniform, length, width are not consistent, with a large plate out of the material rate can have? This order to do stone production and processing enterprises to earn money? It makes one wonder.
