graveyard shift! The lingering pain of the machining industry

When you walk on the way to work in the morning, you are greeted by such a kind of person, their faces look slightly greasy, they walk up and down, their backs are slightly hunched, their eyes are covered with blood, although they try to open their eyes but they can't stop trying to close, they keep yawning, no doubt, they must be a group of workers who just got off the night shift!

In fact, the night shift is very strange or even unbelievable to many people, in most people's impression, the day is the normal time for work, what can you do at night? But it is so amazing that the machining industry can actually work 24 hours a day, or so understand, as long as there is electricity, the machine tool can run, then it can be 24/7. Every Spring Festival Gala, the host will always interview the workers who are still on duty during the Spring Festival, the highest rate of appearance is probably the railway workers, Chinese New Year's EveChinese New Year's Eve night, it is the time for the family to raise a glass together, but they are for the convenience of more people, stick to the front line of work, is it not very hard? Think again, the nurse workers in the hospital, because of the need to take care of patients, also need to work the night shift, is it not very hard?

If you feel that the first two have been more difficult, then let's look at the mechanical processing industry, so that we have full mental preparation. At present, 90% of mechanical processing enterprises implement a shift system, which is nothing more than the difference between 8+8, 10+10, 12+12. Night shifts in other industries may be the need for personnel on duty, during the night shift is that you are busy, you have nothing to rest, and there are no other too many requirements, and the mechanical processing industry is only the working hours converted into night shifts, work requirements, work content and daytime is no different, you have to complete the production task, you want to ensure that the yield rate meets the standard, you want to safely produce accidents... This is the basic requirement for night shifts in the machining industry.

Once the author met a young man who just graduated and entered the machine processing plant, left his job and changed careers in half a year, when talking about the reason for the change of career, he said: I can accept the new entry because the technical accumulation is not enough salary and treatment, but I can not accept the night shift, because this will make me a 20-year-old age but in a short period of time to destroy a face in the 40s! Yes, there have been many enthusiastic young people like him, watched the documentary to publicize the spirit of the craftsmen of the big country, plunged into the machine industry, determined to become a new big country craftsman, but underestimated the difficulty of learning art, but also overestimated their endurance, and then excited turned into loss, and finally left silently!

This is such a painful realization that when you casually publish an article on the topic of whether the machinery industry has a future in the forum or website, you can almost one-sidedly dissuade, as if one by one the machines and people in the past see another innocent self repeating the same mistakes. In fact, the author does not reject the night shift, and can even understand the night shift, but what the author is really worried about is that the existence of the night shift will shake the determination of many people who enter the industry. Young people just graduated need time to fall in love, night shift makes your life rhythm completely staggered with normal people, because of the night shift after marriage, so that you can not enjoy the holiday time with your family, this from front to back time span will make many people have and eventually make the idea of leaving the machine plus industry.

Why does the night shift exist? This is actually a practical problem, I will give a simple example: a batch of 100 parts, normal processing 8 hours can produce 10 pieces, processing is not 10 days to complete? And if there is a night shift, the production capacity is consistent with the daytime requirements, then it only takes 5 days to complete the order of 100 pieces? Is it possible to take another batch of orders in the extra 5 days? Compared to the only day-shift competitors, are you more competitive? Also for machine tool buyers, the machine tool can only be bought back to make it run for 24 hours, its value can be maximized, and for the producer, only 8 hours of day shift, your personal income, whether piecework or working hours, may not be able to meet your demand expectations, so all relevant parties need to have the existence of night shifts, and it will only get longer and longer, gradually becoming a normalized working time arrangement.

Can't change the status quo of the industry, then you can change yourself, when you have the technology that others can't have, your position has changed from the operator to the debugger, you only need to work hard in the initial modulation stage of the product, once the debugging is successful, the next step is a relatively stable work rhythm. If you don't pursue progress, you will only stand still, then sorry, you may only be able to stay in the circle of night shifts and day shifts forever!
