Chapter 352 The Tricks of 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 Hong Kun and Zhu Yadan both said that 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 also 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, so he is considered Jiang Zhong's. The number one.

"Director Lin, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Chang, we only received a notice at noon yesterday that a technical expert from the capital was going to visit our factory for inspection. The time was short and we really didn't provide good hospitality."

Lin Xu came up and shook hands, then expressed with an embarrassed look,

"So the banners and slogans are, firstly, too late to prepare, and secondly, you may not know that our factory's current income and expenditure situation is not optimistic, and it is true that we cannot have much spare funds."

These words almost burned the CPU of Qin Xueming, who was following behind and was just a driver.

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 revenue 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 over to take a look.”

In fact, on the plane to Jiangcheng yesterday, he also thought about whether he would encounter the local factory director who looked down on the technicians sent by his superiors and tried to fool him by substituting them, but he was exposed on the spot and pretended to be fake. 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 he came 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 suffers long-term losses, the other party must try to trick it somewhere.

But it won't be that blunt approach.

After meeting Lin Xu today, I found that my guess was indeed good.

The honesty shown by the other person was astounding.

"Anyway, since Mr. Chang is here, I will always take you to visit our Jiangzhong. Although there are some difficulties at the moment, we are also trying every way to overcome them."

Lin Xu said as 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.”

…

Chang Haonan did not interrupt the route planned 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", in fact, his business scope has not been limited to manufacturing machine tools, so the related equipment is extremely complicated. If he hadn't stayed in Factory 112 and Factory 410 for a long time, even I also studied with Zhong Shihong, the technical director of Factory 410, for a period of time. I'm afraid if 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.

“I’ve never been to one of this scale.”

Chang Haonan gave an unclear answer.

"This is the final assembly shop for 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, serious crossover of logistics lines, too long material handling distances and duplicate routes, but it is a building built in the mid-1990s. For the factory, this is not something worth criticizing.

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 meters. In the past, we have manufactured two units for the electric power departments of Guangxi Province and Hunan Province. We have one on hand that was abandoned by a customer after default. If you place an order for semi-finished products now, they 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 a high technical level, why can't the factory benefit from what I heard you just say?"

"Hey... What's the point of having a high technical level? I always have my say and I 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. Will it take more than half a year to complete?"

"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 on mass-produced things. In addition, now that the old masters have retreated, there are still people who usually go out to take on private work. , the new young people are impatient and unwilling to learn skills, and even this kind of precision workshop is becoming less and less efficient.”

"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 is It is difficult to import this kind of machine tools, so there are still sales. Others that can be bought from abroad have no one come to us at all. Now this workshop is the most used place in our factory."

"Have you ever thought about improving the management level through some methods? It is a pity to let such a large factory go to waste like this."

Chang Haonan turned into a compliment and answered it just right.

"Of course I have thought about it. In fact, this has been my most important job in the past few years as the factory director."

Lin Xu said as he took Chang Haonan and others outside the workshop. There was a small room filled with various propaganda 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, not just the quality inspection department, can Participate in quality management efforts.”

"In addition, it also introduced the 6sigma theory, which is currently the most popular among large international companies, to use data in customer, process management and improvement to make objective evaluations, and to use standard deviation in mathematical statistics to achieve data as the basis..."

He spoke for forty minutes in a row.

It can be heard that Lin Xu is definitely not just memorizing things from a script. He has his own understanding of management.

In many places, he directly used examples or even data from his own factory or some internationally renowned companies.

You know, this is not the era of information explosion more than 20 years later. Some middle-level managers don’t have any real materials 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, now that 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 show some frustration:

"It's nothing more than the old problems of state-owned enterprises."

"No matter how good the management method is, in the final analysis, it depends on people. State-owned enterprises have complicated relationships and overstaffed people. Young people want to get by with their iron rice bowls, and old people spend three days in the factory fishing and two days drying nets. I am more active than anyone else in taking on private work, but I have a lot of administrative staff, but my efficiency is not high. I have cleared out some shops along the street for rent, but I cannot rent them at a high price due to customer flow and policy issues..."

Chang Haonan pretended to agree on the surface, but he had already figured out half of it in his heart——

Even if Siemens is moved here today, the management methods will not be able to escape from 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 could still maintain his position despite consecutive years of losses.

Because judging from the latter's performance just now, anyone who comes here will feel that the factory's losses are crimes other than war crimes.

Replacing a factory manager 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 reason Lin Xu just mentioned...

Those words can convince many people.

Because the trend of public opinion in the late 1990s was like this.

State-owned enterprises are the original sin.

No one can dispute that.

But that didn't convince him.

Because the problems mentioned by Lin Xu are actually common problems of 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 problem.

Deputy Director Lin is indeed very capable.

Faced with an inspection by someone who was very likely to understand technology, he resorted to playing tricks on corporate management issues, avoiding the important and taking the easy.

If another person came here and was fooled by him in such a series, he would definitely believe it.

Another question that follows is why Jiang Zhong's balance sheet is what 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 for a moment, then shook his head:

"There was such a talk at the end of last year, but after our factory submitted the balance sheet, there was no further information. I guess it was frightened by our debt of more than 500 million yuan..."

"A debt of 500 million?"

Chang Haonan pretended to be surprised:

"I come from an aviation background and don't know much about mechanics, but if you think about these factories and equipment, I'm afraid I can offset quite a bit 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:

"Many of the equipment in the factory were imported from places like East Germany, Romania, and Czechoslovakia. After 1991, many of the manufacturers even disappeared, and maintenance and guarantees were not in place. In addition, as mentioned just now, state-owned enterprises have no employees at all. I don’t know how to take good care of equipment. When I first came to take office, I didn’t even look at the workshop. I spent several months working hard to rectify it and stopped many operations that were simply destroying equipment.”

"Then these scrapped equipment will always be left there?"

Chang Haonan lifted a corner of the raincloth, and 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 the procedures for scrapping it are 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."

While Lin Xu was answering, he looked at several other devices.

AKODA W250G 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 device——

A soft abrasive polishing machine designed by Chang Haonan himself.

"Is this broken too?"

he asked, pointing to the device.

"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 was never completely repaired, so I took the responsibility. The technical staff who pushed it to us 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 simple 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 for a workshop. In the entire factory area, there must be at least two to three hundred pieces of equipment classified as damaged or scrapped.

It dawned on him.
