Chapter 352 The Trouble at Jiangcheng Heavy Machinery Factory (4K)
That night, Chang Haonan and his party stayed in a guest house arranged by the Office of Science and Industry.
There is no need to open an extra room.
Because both Hong Kun and Zhu Yadan said they could live in one room because they would take turns to rest at night during the mission.
Chang Haonan's room is at the end, so anyone who wants to go there must pass through the doorways of the other two rooms.
He felt that this seemed a bit too sensitive, and if he didn't get enough rest, it might affect his tasks during the day tomorrow.
However, Hong Kun said that they have been accustomed to this way of rest after training, and the security work is not the most careful but more careful.
Considering that the person in charge of safety work arranged by Ding Gaoheng was Hong Kun, Chang Haonan was not prepared to say anything more on this matter.
Everyone is doing it for his own good.
Fortunately, one night passed and nothing happened.
The next day, Chang Haonan officially went to Jiangcheng Heavy Machine Tool Factory with a group of eight people according to the original plan.
The person who led the team to welcome him was naturally Jiang Zhong’s deputy director, named Lin Xu.
This year, the management model of state-owned enterprises has been changed to the factory director responsibility system. However, Jiang Zhong’s factory director resigned two years ago due to performance issues, and the candidate for the new factory director has not been formally documented. Therefore, He is considered Jiang Zhong's top leader.
"Hello, Director Lin."
"Hello, Mr. Chang, we only received a notice at noon yesterday that technical experts from Beijing were coming to inspect our factory, and we were short on time. , it’s really a poor reception.”
Lin Xu came up and shook hands, and then said with an embarrassed look,
"So the banners and slogans are, first, too late to prepare, and second, you may not know that our factory's current income and expenditure situation is not optimistic. , and it is true that there is not much spare money.”
These words almost burned the CPU of Qin Xueming, who was just following behind him.
He has been working in the system for 20 years and has never seen this kind of gameplay.
In the past, when there were enterprises under the Science and Industry Office, he also went to inspect them.
Those factory directors and secretaries, no matter how bad the company's situation is, are eager to spend their money to carry out face-saving projects.
As a result, when Lin Xu, the factory director, faced the investigators appointed by his superiors, his first sentence was "Our factory's current income and expenditure situation is not optimistic"?
Is there really such an honest person?
Do you still want to get involved in the system?
However, Chang Haonan’s reaction was very ordinary:
"It doesn't matter, I didn't give any instructions originally, but there is a project at the Aviation Industry Port, which requires a super-heavy CNC vertical milling lathe of more than 15 meters. I heard that your factory is currently the only one in China. model, so I came to take a look.”
In fact, on the plane to Jiangcheng yesterday, he also thought about whether he would encounter some local factory director who looked down on the technicians sent by his superiors and tried to make substandard products. It was so easy to fool him, but he was exposed on the spot and pretended to be cool. In the end, under his guidance, he led the entire factory to turn losses into profits and take off.
But after thinking about it again and again, I felt it was unlikely.
When he received the May 4th Medal before coming here, some of his deeds were made public.
Although it is not as scary as the actual situation, it at least shows that he must have a science and engineering background.
Secondly, after all, he is known as the chief engineer of a certain project. No matter how young he is, he can still intimidate people.
Of course, if such a factory has been losing money for a long time, the other party must be trying to trick it somewhere.
But it won’t be that blunt method.
After meeting Lin Xu today, I found that my guess was indeed good.
The honesty shown by the other party is shocking.
"Anyway, since you are here, Mr. Chang, I will always take you to visit our Jiangzhong. Although there are some difficulties at the moment, we are also trying our best to overcome them."
Lin As Xu said, he took Chang Haonan and his party to the door of the building closest to the factory entrance:
“Let’s start from the factory history museum of our factory.”
……
< br>Chang Haonan did not interrupt the route arranged by Lin Xu. He wanted to see what the other party was planning to do.
But the latter had no intention of delaying time. After fluently introducing Jiang Zhong's history, he directly brought Chang Haonan and the others into the production area.
Although Jiang Zhong's name is "Jiangcheng Heavy Machine Tool Factory", his business scope has not been limited to manufacturing machine tools for a long time, so the related equipment is extremely complicated. If he hadn't stayed in Factory 112 and Factory 410 before, For a long time, I even studied with Zhong Shihong, the technical director of Factory 410, for a period of time. I am afraid that when I really walked in, I would be dazzled.
"I think Chang always has a background in research. Have you ever been to a factory in a traditional industry like ours before?"
While in the changing area, Lin Xu asked seemingly unintentionally One sentence.
“I’ve never been to one of this scale.”
Chang Haonan gave an unclear answer.
“This is the final assembly workshop of machine tools.”
After putting on work clothes and safety helmets, everyone came to the first workshop.
What surprised Chang Haonan was that there was no chaotic or even dilapidated scene like he had imagined.
Although from the perspective of a reborn person, the layout of this workshop still has problems such as unclear classification of raw material areas and semi-finished products areas, severe crossover of logistics lines, too long material handling distances, and repeated routes. But for a factory built in the mid-1990s, this is nothing to criticize.
The only problem is that the number of workers working here is a bit small, making the entire workshop deserted.
“The super heavy-duty CNC vertical milling lathe you want to buy, the corresponding model in our factory is CKX53160-1, 16-meter level. In the past, we have manufactured two units for the electric power departments of Guangxi Province and Hunan Province. We I have a semi-finished product on hand that the customer defaulted on and abandoned. If we order it now, it can be delivered in the first half of next year at the earliest.”
“Director Lin, the performance of your flagship product should be quite good, with such high performance. Technical level, I heard what you just said, the factory’s efficiency is still not improving?”
“Hey... What’s the technical level? I always have a say and don’t hide the situation from the organization. "
Speaking of this, Lin Xu sighed helplessly:
“Such flagship products like these are all produced by us, by gathering together some experienced master craftsmen, engaging in production contracting, assigning responsibilities to each person, and using a manual workshop model. Otherwise, they would all be semi-finished products. What about the construction period that takes more than half a year? "
"But this whole method is to put it bluntly, it is a production war. It is okay if the output is small, but there is no way to use it for mass production. In addition, now The old masters are retreating, and there are still people who go out to do some private work. The new young people are impatient and unwilling to learn the craft. Even the efficiency of this kind of intensive workshop is getting lower and lower. "
"Mr. Chang, you also have a background in science and engineering. You know that modern industry pays attention to standardized production. If we work intensively like ours, the cost of each piece of equipment is much higher than imported ones, and the quality is almost the same as others. What you bought It is difficult to import this kind of machine tools, so there are still sales. Others that can be purchased from abroad have no one come to us. Now this workshop is the most used place in our factory.”
“ Have you ever thought about improving the management level through some means? It’s a pity to let such a big factory go to waste like this.”
Chang Haonan responded appropriately.
"Of course I have thought about it. In fact, this is also my most important job in the past few years as the factory director."
Lin Xu said and took Chang Haonan and others outside the workshop. There was a small room here. It is covered with various promotional posters.
“We refer to the ISO9001 quality system introduced from abroad to strengthen the optimization of the company’s quality management model. We even specially invited experts from Japan to implement a comprehensive quality management system throughout the factory so that every employee can, It is not just the quality inspection department that participates in quality management work. ”
“In addition, the 6sigma theory, which is currently the most popular among large international companies, is used to make decisions based on data in customer, process management and improvement. Objective evaluation, using the standard deviation in mathematical statistics to realize data as the basis..."
I talked for forty minutes in a row. It can be heard that Lin Xu is definitely not memorizing things from a script. He has his own understanding of management.
In many places, he directly used examples or even data from our own factory or some internationally renowned companies.
You must know that this is not the era of information explosion more than 20 years later. Some middle-level managers do not have any real information in their minds. As long as there is a search engine, they can be PPT gods of war.
The things Lin Xu talked about are quite valuable in this era.
“So, Director Lin, since you have introduced such a complete management system, what do you think is the main reason for our factory’s loss?”
This sudden question made Lin Xu express some frustration:
“It’s just the old problems of state-owned enterprises.”
“No matter how good the management method is, in the end it still depends on people. Lai Qian, a state-owned enterprise, has complex relationships and overstaffed affairs. Young people are holding on to their iron rice bowls and want to live a leisurely life. The old oil man spends three days fishing in the factory and two days drying nets. He is more active than anyone else in taking on private work outside. The number of administrative managers is actually There are many, but the efficiency cannot be improved. Some stores along the street have been cleared for rent, but they cannot rent at high prices due to passenger flow and policy issues..."
Chang Haonan appeared to agree on the surface, but he had already figured it out in his heart. Halfway through——
Even if Siemens is moved here today, the management methods cannot escape these things posted on the wall.
A few years ago, when the management system of state-owned enterprises was in chaos, there would be all kinds of constraints and strife, which would lead to constraints. But now under the factory director responsibility system, the factory director himself seems to know more about management and technology than anyone else, and in the end he actually... Such a result?
At the same time, Chang Haonan also understood why Deputy Director Lin has been able to maintain his position despite consecutive years of losses.
Because based on the latter's performance just now, anyone who comes here will feel that the factory's losses are crimes other than war.
Changing to a factory director who doesn’t know the job might be even worse.
In fact, judging from the data, after the former factory director left, although he did not make the factory better, he at least managed to stop the decline.
As for the reasons Lin Xu just mentioned...
Those words can convince many people.
Because this was the direction of public opinion in the late 1990s.
State-owned enterprises are the original sin.
No one will dispute this.
But that didn't convince him.
Because the problems mentioned by Lin Xu are actually common problems in large-scale enterprises.
In her previous life, Chang Jiayao did not take the road of recruiting students. After graduation, she changed jobs in several well-known large factories.
Chang Haonan can say with certainty that the above situations are not lacking.
So, those are certainly problems, but they are certainly not the fundamental problems.
Deputy Director Lin is indeed very capable.
Facing an inspection by someone who was very likely to understand technology, he resorted to playing tricks on business management issues, avoiding the important and taking the light.
If another person came here and was deceived by him in such a series, he would definitely believe it.
The next question is why Jiang Zhong's balance sheet is the way it was before.
The debt of 500 million yuan cannot be faked, but even if it does not count real estate, Chang Haonan has seen the equipment in these workshops so far, and it is impossible for Chang Haonan to estimate that it is only tens of millions of yuan.
Thinking of this, he pretended to ask casually:
"I heard that our factory seems to be transferred to the Ordnance Industry Corporation?"
Lin Xu was stunned and then shook his head. He shook his head:
"There was such a saying at the end of last year, but after our factory submitted the balance sheet, there was no further explanation. I guess it was frightened by our debt of more than 500 million yuan... …”
“A liability of 500 million?”
Chang Haonan pretended to be surprised:
“I’m from an aviation background and don’t know much about mechanics, but if you calculate these factories and equipment, I’m afraid they can offset a considerable part of them. Is it so difficult to get rid of them? "
"You don't know something."
Lin Xu brought Chang Haonan to a row of equipment covered with raincloths:
"A lot of equipment in the factory. They were all imported from places like East Germany, Romania, and Czechoslovakia. After 1991, many manufacturers even disappeared, and maintenance and guarantees were not in place. In addition, as mentioned just now, employees of state-owned enterprises did not know how to take good care of the equipment. Before, I When I first came to take office, I didn’t even notice that the workshop was in ruins. I spent several months working hard to rectify it and stopped many operations that were simply destroying the equipment.”
"Then these scrapped equipment have been left there forever?"
Chang Haonan opened a corner of the raincloth and found that it was indeed a machine tool. Judging from the nameplate, it was an SC2000 vertical lathe produced in Romania.
“There’s no way. It’s easy to report equipment as damaged, but to scrap it, the procedure is very troublesome. Besides, even if these things are worthless, they can still cost over 100,000 yuan when calculating assets and liabilities. It’s better than nothing, right? "
While Lin Xu was answering, he looked at several other devices.
AKODAW250G CNC floor-standing boring and milling machine produced in Czechoslovakia.
ZSTZ-10H gear grinding machine from East Germany.
SI50 internal grinding machine from East Germany.
......
Indeed, as Lin Xu said, they are all quite old equipment.
Even though machine tools have a relatively long service life, these models are really not worth the price, not to mention they are broken.
Until he saw a very familiar piece of equipment -
The soft abrasive polishing machine designed by Chang Haonan himself.
“This one is broken too?”
He pointed at the device and asked.
“Yes, I just purchased it at the end of last year. As a result, last month, there were problems with excessive grinding and insufficient abrasive passing rate. The manufacturer came to inspect it many times, but it never worked. After it was completely repaired, the responsibility was passed on to our technicians, and we are currently arguing with them.”
Hearing this answer, Chang Haonan didn't know what expression he should put on for a while.
He knows a lot about the equipment he built himself.
This problem has occurred for a few months. The only possibility is that during the initialization process of the PLC program, abrasives that do not correspond to the corresponding label are used for forced calibration.
It is also easy to repair. Just replace a set of nozzles and at most a set of valves.
It is absolutely impossible for the repair to fail.
Chang Haonan raised his head and looked around at the dozens of machine tools and equipment around him.
This is the case in a workshop. In the entire factory area, there must be at least two to three hundred units of this type of equipment that are classified as damaged or scrapped.
He suddenly realized.
