Daming Military Empire

Chapter 361 Advanced Concepts
Zhu Cijiong has never studied management. He has only seen how people manage in various workshops, so he does not have a systematic understanding of management. It is already a rare advanced management concept for North Koreans.

Speaking of this material number, he remembered the production plan he saw in the workshop in his previous life, so he continued: "With the material number booklet, you can clearly know how much material a battleship needs. If all preparations are complete, there will be no downtime and waiting for materials. I checked carefully at the shipyard today. The progress of each shipyard is different. In some places, the assembly has been stagnant for several days because of lack of certain materials. Yes, this is the so-called downtime. Does this downtime waste a lot of time? If you can compile a production plan based on the material number list, then this downtime will never happen again .”

After writing this, Bi Maokang suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help asking: "Production plan?"

He understands what this production means, and what does planning mean?
Zhu Cijiong heard his question, and then explained: "This production plan is a kind of measurement and planning for the production in the future. Simply put, it is how much work will be done in the next year or month, and how to arrange people to take care of these After the work is done, for example, I request to produce [-] super battleships next year, then excluding the time for final assembly and testing on the water, at least [-] semi-finished products will be launched in a month, how can we guarantee that [-] semi-finished products will be launched in a month? How many people are needed for a process and how long does it take? These can be measured. Here, it can be calculated in units of man-hours. For example, it takes ten days for a hundred people to nail a deck, and the working time of a day is five hours. Then the man-hours The total is [-]. If you arrange [-] people, can it be completed in five days? Of course, I just gave a simple example. In short, if you quantify everything into man-hours, you will know how to complete these tasks within the stipulated time. How many people are needed."

Speaking of this, Zhu Cijiong felt that his thoughts were a little messed up. He stopped, took a sip of tea, thought about it carefully, and finally thought of a typical example, so he continued to explain: "Of course, it is not enough to count the working hours alone. To make a reasonable production plan, you must arrange the work one by one in a certain order. This is the so-called process. Let me give you a simple example. For example, arrange people to go to the mountain to load ten trees, and the working hours are like this Yes, it takes one hour for a person to carry a sapling up the mountain, ten saplings are a total of ten man-hours, and it takes two hours for one person to dig a big hole for planting trees, ten holes are a total of twenty man-hours, and then one person It takes half an hour to fill the soil for one hole, five man-hours in total for ten holes, and one hour for one person to water the saplings with a bucket of water from the bottom of the mountain, ten man-hours for ten saplings, so the total is 45 As for the working hours, if the plan is good, [-] people can complete the work in half a day, if the plan is not good or there is no plan, [-] people may not be able to complete the work in a day.”

Zhu Cijiong stopped again to take a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "The so-called good plan means that all twenty people arrive at the foot of the mountain on time, and all the hoes, buckets, and saplings needed have been prepared. First carry the hoes up the mountain to dig a hole, and the other ten people carry the saplings on their backs and slowly go up the mountain. After an hour, the hole is half dug, and the saplings have also gone up the mountain. In an hour, the hole was dug, the saplings were put in and the soil was filled, and the water was about to be brought up. After half an hour, the hole was filled and the water came. After watering, the work could be called off. If the plan is not good, it will What happened? For example, [-] people ran down the mountain to see that there were no hoes, no saplings, or buckets, so they went to the person in charge. The hoes were found. After half a day, ten people dug a hole first, and two hours later After digging, the saplings have not been bought yet, so they can't fill the hole and leave, right? Is this a waste of a day? The next day, another ten people brought the saplings up, they put the saplings in the pit and then Go to pick up the water, if the people who filled the pit haven’t arrived yet, they have to wait again, they can’t just pour the water into the pit and leave?”

This is a rather interesting little example. Everyone smiled faintly on the embarrassed expressions of the people who were waiting to fill the pit and water. Zhu Cijiong was also smiling, but what he said next was not funny at all. He continued: "It's kind of funny, isn't it? In fact, Dongda University has done a lot of ridiculous things like building shipyards. For example, the keel frame needs to use pine wood from Liaodong. I took a look at the first batch of keel frame wood cubes put into storage. At the end of February and mid-March, the first batch of keel frame timbers were brought out one after another. I know that when an order is placed from the shipyard, the Liaodong side will start to cut down trees, and then find a ship to ship them. It will take about a month, and then processed into It takes another ten days for the woodwork to be used, and then the woodwork will be dried for about ten days before it can be used. That is to say, it took almost two months between the shipyard placing an order on the [-]th day of the first lunar month and the formal start of nailing the keel frame. The keel frame, and basically nothing else can be done, so in the past two months, are most of the craftsmen in the shipyard just like the ten people who are waiting to fill the hole and wait for watering, at a loss as to what to do, sitting there and waiting? ?”

Now Bi Maokang and others couldn't laugh anymore, instead they just sat there with shame on their faces, not knowing what to do.

Zhu Cijiong didn't want to criticize them, so he immediately comforted: "I don't want to blame you, I just want you to know the importance of the plan. Think about it, last year's [-] battleships couldn't be the New Year's Eve. It’s just finished, I know, they’ve finished it a month in advance, just waiting to pull out the waterway and officially launch it into the sea. If there is a plan, they should place an order with Liaodong in October, and wait until early November. The warships are all finished, and they can let people easily process all the keel wood squares that will be used in the coming year, and put them in the open air to dry, so that the materials can be picked up and started immediately on the [-]th of the first lunar month of the coming year, without a day's delay. So you have to have a plan when you do things, do you think this is the truth?"

Hearing this, Bi Maokang said with sincere admiration: "The emperor is wise, I will ask them to number the materials tomorrow, count the working hours, arrange the procedures, and strive to compile the production plan as soon as possible."

Zhu Cijiong nodded and said: "Well, if we can do this well, the output of Dongda Construction Shipyard can be increased by at least [-]%, but it is still a little short to reach an annual output of [-] super battleships, and we need to use other methods to increase production. Let me give you a few more examples."

What Zhu Cijiong said earlier, everyone was amazed and admired by Tianshu. There is even a way to increase production. This emperor is really amazing!
