Please give me an article about enterprises reducing costs through thrift.

People often say to reduce costs and improve economic benefits. In other words, if the cost is reduced, the economic benefit will be improved. In fact, it is not only by reducing costs that economic benefits can be improved. There are many ways to improve economic benefits, and reducing costs is only one way to improve economic benefits, but it is not the only way.

When it comes to reducing costs, it is inevitable to talk about saving. I think saving is also a way to reduce costs, but it is not the only way. Why talk about saving? I think there are many ways to reduce costs, such as: relying on scientific and technological progress, improving production technology, or adding new equipment to make the equipment run in the best configuration. These are all ways to reduce costs. But saving is an indispensable way. Find a way, find a way, isn't it a good way to reduce costs?

In recent years, we have indeed done a lot of work in reducing costs, such as improving the existing equipment configuration and operation mode that does not meet the market demand in production, striving to reduce various energy consumption, and adopting the recycling and renovation of usable old materials in material management. These practices saved money and reduced production costs, and the company really tasted the sweetness of contracting and cashing in the cost reduction. It should be said that these achievements are gratifying. However, what we can't ignore is that we often see some waste phenomena around us, such as: waste materials can be seen everywhere, long-term running of tap water is common, employees' awareness of saving is weak, and even parts of individual equipment are broken, so we simply replace the whole equipment with new ones without considering maintenance at all ... The amount of waste is also amazing!

Having said that, I can't help but think of a report I once read: A delegation from China visited Japan and visited a big Japanese consortium, Toyota. Careful tourists find that there are several bricks in the water tank of each toilet in the bathroom. They were very surprised. When the public relations staff saw the guests with different faces, they smiled and explained: Bricks were put in order to slow down the water flow and save washing water. Economy is the main factor of Toyota's success.

Putting bricks in the water tank is totally "petty" according to China people. However, Japan's "Toyota" company made a fortune by this "petty" and achieved success. How commendable is this spirit of being rich and not forgetting to save!

By contrast, we should be ashamed!

A well-known Japanese consortium can still insist on starting from scratch, not to mention that we, a not-rich enterprise, should not always bear in mind the word "saving" everywhere.

Diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. If a person, an enterprise or even a country wants to do something, it must not be extravagant and wasteful, and must regard thrift as its own moral code. Of course, we do not advocate the practice of "three years new, three years old and three years patchwork", but should learn the spirit of hard work and simplicity from the fine traditions of the predecessors, so as to cherish today's happy life.

"Waste is like a burst river, and saving is like the mud of a swallow." Only by always saving everywhere can our enterprises become richer and our country prosper. Of course, compared with developed countries, we are still not rich, so we should be thrifty. If we are rich, we should also be thrifty, because the "petty" company of Toyota in Japan has set a successful example for us!
