Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Monday, October 2.

Zhou Xinjian, who had not been to the factory for a long time, appeared in Yang Weimin's office again.

Jiang Chen, who came after receiving the news, met Li Guangfu for the first time after becoming the deputy director.

Jiang Chen greeted everyone.

Li Guangfu took the initiative to stand up and pass the cigarette: "Hey, our great engineer is here?"

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to take it: "Director Li, what you said here is so obvious! I should have gone to congratulate you on your promotion a long time ago, but I haven't seen you in person."

Seeing Li Guangfu, Jiang Chen thought of You Fengxia.

He didn't understand what it was about such a beautiful girl that attracted Li Guangfu.

She was actually willing to be his lover.

Li Guangfu said with a smile: "Not only have I just taken over this responsibility, my inexperience and ability also need to be strengthened. The pressure is a bit high. I have been working hard to learn from experience."

Zhou Xinjian said: "Okay, I'm going to do some housework. I'll do it later. Now let's get down to business."

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, he continued: "I have announced before that the No. 3 Steel Plant will be upgraded to a department-level unit."

"It was just that we were in a hurry and did not provide a plan for the reorganization of various departments after the upgrade of the No. 3 Steel Plant. After we went back and studied it carefully, we finally finalized the plan and issued a formal document."

"Next, I will briefly explain this plan to you, and then you will pass it on."

Then, Zhou Xinjian began to explain the plan decided by the Ministry of Industry.

The Human Resources Department was upgraded to the Human Resources Department, and the person in charge was Deputy Director Wen Wan.

The Security Section has been upgraded to the Security Division, and Qi Fei is still in charge for the time being, but he revealed that the Ministry of Industry may redeploy personnel to take over the Security Division, with Qi Fei assisting.

Because a series of things happened recently, the Ministry of Industry felt that Qi Fei was not doing much.

Maybe he can handle interpersonal relationships well and is conscientious, but he is obviously not qualified to be the head of the security department of a department-level unit.

The Logistics Section was upgraded to the Logistics Department, and the person in charge of the Logistics Department who took over Li Guangfu's position was Wei Feixiang, who was transferred from a manufacturing plant and was at the rank of a full department officer.

The reason for the transfer from the manufacturing plant is that the manufacturing tasks of the No. 3 Steel Plant will become increasingly heavy in the future, and sending an experienced person to take charge of logistics will be helpful to their manufacturing work.

Among them, the one that has changed the most is Jiang Chen’s engineering department.

The Engineering Department was upgraded to the Engineering Department, which has four departments: Quality Inspection Department, Training Department, and Scientific Research Laboratory.

Jiang Chen serves as the head of the Engineering Department and the Director of the Engineering Department, but this director is in name only and has no administrative level.

Because Jiang Chen's rank and salary have always been calculated based on technical level.

Zhang Shan, head of the quality inspection department, was promoted to one level in technical personnel registration.

Wu Dagang, the head of the training department, has been upgraded to an administrative staff level.

Jiang Chen will temporarily serve as the head of the laboratory, and we will discuss it later when a suitable candidate is found.

Qin Kai officially joined the No. 3 Steel Plant Laboratory, and will be fully commanded by Jiang Chen from now on.

In terms of size and organization, the UNRWA is more like a division-level administrative unit than the Personnel Office and the Logistics Office.

In addition, the production system of the No. 3 Steel Plant will be divided into two.

The production department is responsible for steel processing, which was the previous work scope of the No. 3 Steel Plant.

The second production department is responsible for machine tool manufacturing. Currently, it mainly produces core components and assembly of Sangang machine tools.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xinjian looked at everyone: "Do you have any suggestions?"

Tao Yuan said: "It's very reasonable, no objection! Thank you to all the leaders of the Ministry of Industry for your hard work."

Yang Weimin also shook his head.

Jiang Chen raised his hand again.

Zhou Xinjian said angrily: "It's you again, you are the only one who does too much in a day."

"Tell me, what do you think?"

Jiang Chen said: "The responsibilities of the second production department may need to be expanded. For example, now, our workshop has developed other supporting machine tools for Sangang machine tools and has completed testing."

"There may be other scientific research results in the future, and the two parts will also need to be produced together."

"Originally, I was preparing to report to the leadership, but I didn't expect that you would come to me for a meeting first."

Zhou Xinjian's eyes lit up: "Oh? There are results again. Come on, let's take a look at the data."

Jiang Chen put the test data and production drawings on the ground together.

Zhou Xinjian looked at it again: "Hey, the production efficiency is about 50% higher than the original machine tool. Not bad, not bad."

In the entire processing project, the core and most important machine tool is the Sangang machine tool.

That's why everyone was so excited when Sangang Machine Tool was developed.

The usage frequency and functions of other supporting machine tools are incomparable with Sangang machine tools, so Zhou Xinjian can stay calm.

"Please pay attention to this manufacturing drawing. If you make the same mistake as last time again, then we will finish it together."

"The Ministry of Industry has customized a safe for you, but it won't arrive until after the year. Then you can put all the drawings in the safe to avoid accidents."

Zhou Xinjian handed the test data to Yang Weimin and looked at the drawings himself.

After a while, Zhou Xinjian asked doubtfully: "Why do I feel that many parts in this are exactly the same as Sangang machine tools?"

"For example, this screw seems to be exactly the same in terms of size, accuracy, and other parameters."

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Of course! We said before the design that unless we have to change it as a last resort, we will try to maintain the unity of the parameters of the regular parts."

"Of course, what we are talking about here are only conventional components. The core components and spindles of different products cannot be unified."

Zhou Xinjian said: "What does this mean?"

Jiang Chen said: "This has a lot of benefits, let me tell you briefly."

"The first and most important thing at the moment is to improve production efficiency. Unified parameters can simplify the production process and reduce unnecessary complexity, allowing workers to better master production skills, improve proficiency, improve production efficiency and reduce error rates."

"For example, in the subsequent production of parts and components, we don't even need to give parameters. We just need to ask major manufacturers to increase shipments."

Zhou Xinjian nodded in approval.

Jiang Chen continued: "Secondly, we need to effectively control costs and reduce inventory. We only need to control the total production of parts. If there is more, it will be consumed faster. If there is less, we can increase the production intensity of the parts while ensuring the output of the machine tool through reasonable arrangements."

"In this way, our inventory costs can be well controlled, and the purchase or supply of raw materials is also simpler."

"Furthermore, if we develop new products in the future, many parts will be ready-made. We only need to produce core parts that are not universal, and the new products will be on the market."

"Then, when there is a problem with our machine tools, it is very simple to repair. It is definitely much more convenient for us to find one kind of parts than to find many kinds."

"Of course, there are many others, so I won't go into details one by one."

Zhou Xinjian pondered for a long time: "How do I feel that you are playing a big game of chess?"

"Tell me, what are your plans for your future work?"

Jiang Chen said: "Long term or short term?"

Zhou Xinjian said: "It must be long-term."

Jiang Chen said: "Build an advanced industrial system for flower growers that leads the world."
