Discussion on cost control of supermarket operation

First of all, supermarkets like to make great efforts to train new employees in military training, commodity knowledge, service and marketing before they take up their posts, which is a misunderstanding.

Training should be done, but it should be focused. We can completely link military training with company discipline and rules and regulations and instill them in new employees. We can say that military training for employees is similar to inculcating the company system, but the purpose is basically the same. In addition, in the content of training, don't digress too far. The training of senior managers, middle managers and grass-roots personnel should be distinguished, and each has its own emphasis.

To tell the truth, based on the development of education in China and the needs of the current economic situation, the quality of candidates is still good. Therefore, I think that in their pre-job training, the content of improving quality training should also be changed to boost morale and cultivate interest.

Training should be systematic, targeted and purposeful, so how to carry out reasonable and effective training is a problem worthy of our study.

Note: If the education level or ideological quality of the main leaders (chairman or general manager) of an enterprise is lower than that of ordinary employees, it is suggested to train the leaders first and then the employees. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Secondly, there are misunderstandings in the utilization of supermarket environment and value creation.

Many supermarkets have large operating areas, and most of the remaining venues outside the freight yard are rented out or other operating counters are set up. This is also a good way to generate income without affecting the planning and supermarket operating environment, but many companies try their best to rent all available venues in order to win more profits. In fact, this decision is incorrect. In today's society, consumers can buy any goods they need anywhere, and the difference is only the tangible or intangible services they enjoy during the purchase process. Why do consumers go shopping in supermarkets? Are the goods in the supermarket cheaper than those in other places? The answer is yes, so supermarkets should pay more attention to providing consumers with the convenience of spiritual enjoyment while focusing on commodity management. Plan your own market reasonably and try to provide consumers with additional services that can increase their spiritual enjoyment besides shopping. For example: the rest room for the elderly (there are visually readable TV programs or magazines for the elderly, etc.). ), shopping guide desk, lovers' music cafe, and free mobile phone charging service.

Third, it is the misunderstanding of cost control and personnel utilization.

It is the pursuit of enterprises to make the best use of things and people. However, the operation of the supermarket needs most people of all types to complete. There are always some business owners complaining that there are many people in their company, but they are not satisfied with their work efficiency and achievements. Therefore, we will find ways to punish or reduce the wages of employees, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing operating costs. It can be said that this is the most ignorant practice. I believe that every employee very much hopes that his company's business performance will be excellent, and he hopes that excellent companies will bring more benefits to himself. The boss of the company controls the operating cost by deducting punishment or reducing treatment, which only adds insult to injury to the employees, and also adds insult to injury to the originally inefficient work, which is a vicious circle.

We all understand the principle of equal pay and reward and equal rights, responsibilities and interests. Under the premise of strengthening the company's business objectives, we can quantitatively manage all the work, find the most suitable person to complete the tasks in front of the company, and determine the salary or performance according to the value created after the work is completed. If there is no work or things to do, then don't get used to employees' rest or do things unrelated to work. At this time, you can think about his or her hard work and selflessness at work. If he (she) is a person with great ability or potential, you should keep him (her) in good spirits and health, because the profit he (she) can create for the company is several times that of the fine you imposed on him (her), which is the value you hope to achieve.

Leaders and employees are not antagonistic, and controlling operating costs does not always focus on employees' mistakes. According to different company environment and personnel structure, we should formulate management strategies suitable for the company's development.
