iPhone 12 Production at Foxconn in Full Capacity: 24 Hours a day, No Holidays
Welcome to "The Outwrite Podcast". This article is published on www.theoutwrite.com by Varun Singh Rajput.
iPhone 12 production in China factory is operating with a new extensive model of running 24 hours operations includes non-avoidable overtime and no holidays. However, there are major bonuses and even 3 times their regular payout on holidays to keep it going.
The eight-day national holiday beginning on October 1, 2020, won’t be allotted this year – Foxconn employees have been asked to be in the factory. China is the backbone of the world supply chain in most of the items and the quick recovery of the country from COVID-19 wherein the rest of the world is still struggling – could be a good sign. However, this pandemic has raised an international approach to remove the supply chain dependency. Hence, many tech giants have decided to move out of China to set up their manufacturing units in other countries like India.
Now, iPhone 12 or the upcoming iPhone model as we are still not confirmed with the names – would have less time for assembly and distribution as compared to its predecessors.
South China Morning Post shared this story as in how Foxconn is trying to meet with the strong demand for Apple iPhone 12 in the coming few weeks.
According to the Hongkong based newspaper SCMP , “
Many employees have been asked to cancel upcoming holidays around the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day that fall this week to ensure timely delivery of the new iPhone, according to another worker who declined to be named
Employee Wang Guofeng said overtime work had increased since summer and most workers were allowed to take only four days off per month.
“You can earn 5,000 yuan to 6,000 yuan (US$880) per month, and if you work at the factory for more than 90 days, there’s a handsome amount of special pay,” said the 33-year-old who has worked at the factory for over four years.
Another employee surnamed Ma said the company had started night shifts, with production lines running 24 hours a day.
“We have been kept so busy for the past weeks because of the iPhone 12,” Ma said, referring to the new model that is expected to be unveiled next month.
Foxconn has issued a 10,000 yuan bonus for the joining and staying for at least 90 days to meet the extensive production goals before the Apple event. The factory needs more workforce to cover the manufacturing goals of the new iPhone models otherwise current workers would be investing more hours.
For now, there are 4 iPhone models mentioned below what we expect to be announced in the coming month.
