Although Lao Wu is just a workshop technician, he is a college graduate in the late 1960s and is familiar with the general process of technology development. Whether in factories, scientific research institutes, or colleges and universities, when innovating or transforming a process technology, the first step is to do a small test in the laboratory. After success, then do a scale-up test, and finally use it in industrial-scale equipment. To verify the technology, he wanted to push this matter to the factory leaders for decision-making from the beginning.
The workshop director proposed to conduct experiments directly on industrial equipment, which showed that Lao Yang did not understand the technology development process at all, because Lao Yang only had a technical school degree, so it was understandable that he made such an ignorant decision. What Lao Wu did not expect was that, When Lao Yang handed over the task, Fang Hanmin, a fool, happily agreed. He thought that these two guys were exactly five hundred divided by two, and both were two hundred and five!
Lao Yang wanted to solve the technical problems in the workshop as soon as possible and sought medical treatment in a hurry. This is understandable, but what do you, Fang Hanmin, want to do? You're a temporary worker, and you don't take a piss to look after yourself! Do you want to become a regular employee and are eager to express yourself, or are you crazy about becoming famous? Well, let the two of you struggle with it, and we'll see how you end up with it!
How could Fang Hanmin know what Lao Wu was thinking! However, through the conversation a few days ago, Fang Hanmin believed that Lao Wu only had a partial understanding of the new technical solutions and could not make any suggestions at all. In order to show respect for him, he allowed him to review them. After all, Lao Wu was a second-year student. Fang Hanmin, the technical director of the workshop, did not want him to misunderstand because of this matter.
However, even for a temporary worker, Lao Wu's words and deeds are very rude. Not to mention that he is just a workshop technician. Regardless of his technical title or administrative position, they are all low-level. Even if he is a higher-ranking leader, he should not Such rough treatment to a subordinate who was so humble and respectful to him.
After Lao Wu left, Fang Hanmin froze in place, slightly embarrassed. Lao Yang stood up and walked over, patted him on the shoulder, "Don't take this seriously, focus on your work, go back and seize the time to get the raw materials." Submit the employment plan."
The "acylation" reaction is only one of several technical links in the production of "acetaminophen". In his previous life, Fang Hanmin knew all the technical links of this raw material drug well, because before graduating from 985 University, he not only worked in a domestic company I worked as an intern on the "acetaminophen" production line of a large pharmaceutical company for more than three months, and his graduation thesis was "Comparison of the technical routes of acetaminophen and discussion of new processes."
The upcoming test was very familiar to Fang Hanmin. It only took him one day to not only propose the equipment, raw materials and personnel plan required for the test, but also to compile the test operation methods and process control points.
The technical details related to the test do not need to be reported to Lao Yang, but the required raw materials, equipment and personnel require his coordination. Fang Hanmin presented these three plans to Lao Yang. He read them carefully and pointed to one of them. Xiang Jihua said: "Didn't I already tell you that you can choose what kind of personnel you need in the whole workshop without saying hello to me?"
"Director, everything else is easy to talk about, but personnel deployment is not that simple."
"What, is it possible that you asked for someone from any team and they didn't give it to you?"
"That's not true, because I haven't asked any team for anyone yet, and I won't do that."
"Why? Aren't you solely responsible for this experiment?"
"I am a temporary worker, and everyone treats me with contempt and suspicion. What qualifications do I have to transfer people from the workshop team?"
Lao Yang thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Well, I have simplified things. I should say hello to the relevant team first. But ---, I see that you have Jiao Tiehui with the 'acylation' position on your list. This guy But he is a famous thorn in the whole workshop! The squad leader, Zhao, can’t do anything about him, so he transferred him to do experiments. Can you control him? "
"I am in the same team as Jiao Tiehui. Although he has a bad temper and his thick hair is like a hedgehog, pricking anyone he sees. But I know this person better and I think he is not bad at heart. He has a sense of justice, dares to take responsibility when encountering problems, and has a sense of responsibility. As long as he is relatively fair, he will never cheat at work." It seems that there is a lack of communication with his colleagues in the team, but in fact, Fang Hanmin treats the people around him equally. Clearly.
Lao Yang was a little surprised by this evaluation of people. He didn't expect that this nerd nicknamed Xiucai was actually a caring person!
According to the plan proposed by Fang Hanmin, Lao Yang first implemented the equipment required for the test, and then asked the material preparers in the second workshop to prepare raw materials according to the required varieties and quantities.
According to the requirements of process technology, Fang Hanmin decided to divide the experiment into two shifts, with three people in each shift, and six employees would need to be transferred. He planned to transfer all the required personnel from his "acylation" position, because he felt that the employees in this position After all, you are familiar with the basic operation of the "acylation" reaction.
When Lao Yang explained the situation to Master Zhao, the squad leader of the "acylation" position, Lao Zhao immediately became anxious, "Director, our 'acylation' position has only about thirty employees in total. You can transfer six people at once. We can normally Is it still possible to carry out three shifts?"
"You don't have enough manpower. I can transfer a few people from other positions to you."
"Employees in other positions are not familiar with the procedures of this position. Even if they are transferred here, they will not be able to take up their posts for three to five days. You might as well assign the people transferred from other positions directly to Fang Hanmin instead of taking people from our position. Anyway, Fang Hanmin is also doing experiments, he is not engaged in production, and there are no hard targets to complete." It concerns the interests of the team, and the loyal old Zhao will not give in.
"Well ---, let me discuss it with Xiao Fang."
It is precisely because of the test that experienced operators are needed. Therefore, when Lao Yang conveyed Master Zhao’s opinion, Fang Hanmin firmly disagreed with Lao Zhao’s statement, “Director, Master Zhao should have some overall concept. This test is for To improve the process technology of the 'acylation' position, as the person in charge of this position, he should support the test work. If the test is to be successful, the quality of the operators is crucial. The production position is just repetitive work, and new people can gradually adapt."
Lao Yang felt that what he said was reasonable. In order to ensure the success of the test, it was worthwhile to slow down the production progress. He came to the "acylation" position again and explained this truth to Lao Zhao.
Facing his immediate boss, Lao Zhao had to make concessions after weighing the situation.
When the personnel arrived, Fang Hanmin held a meeting for them and gave them a simple task assignment. Then, he handed a sketch to Jiao Tiehui and asked him to lead the team to adjust the pipeline of the designated equipment according to the sketch.
Taking the sketch, Jiao Tiehui frowned and said, "Xiucai, it's not like you don't know. How can we, with our level of education, understand the drawings? Why don't you go to the site and directly tell us how to change the pipeline and give us a sign?" ”
Fang Hanmin knew that although these guys had low levels of education, they were all good at work. "Okay, let's go to the workshop right now, and I'll tell you how to change the pipeline. However, I want to remind you that you won't be able to do anything in the future." You must call me by my nickname to my face."
"In our eyes, you are a scholar. We think this nickname is a respectful title for you. You are younger than us, and your superiors have not determined a title for you. How do you want us to call you?"
"I have a first name and a surname. Wouldn't it be better to call him by his first name?"
"this......"
Under Fang Hanmin's personal guidance, Jiao Tiehui and others spent two days to complete the pipeline modification of the designated equipment as required.
Everything was ready. At 8:30 the next morning, Fang Hanmin directed Jiao Tiehui and others to start the feeding test. The workers followed the operating procedures and after fourteen hours of careful operation, the 'acylation' reaction was completed at 10:30 that night.
The next step is to separate and purify the "acylation" product. It is already the morning of the third day that a complete process flow has been completed.
Fang Hanmin couldn't take a break, and arranged for the workshop laboratory to conduct quality inspections on the "acylated" products while evaluating the test results.
At around 11 o'clock in the morning, the quality inspection report sent by the laboratory technician showed that the purity of the "acylated" product reached 98%, which was completely consistent with Fang Hanmin's expectation!
"How many times have you done the tests? How reproducible are the results?" Fang Hanmin was afraid that the results would be inaccurate and let his joy be in vain.
"Xiucai, don't worry. We have done three tests, and the average error is no more than 0.2%, which fully meets the testing standards." The laboratory technician is a eldest sister in her thirties, who seems to be very reliable in speaking and doing things.
Fang Hanmin said confidently: "Well, I guess there will be no problem."
Although the purity of the "acylation" product has been greatly improved, after analyzing and evaluating the test results, Fang Hanmin found that the product yield of the "acylation" reaction did not meet expectations. What is the reason?
One test may not explain anything. Fang Hanmin then arranged a second test, and the results were almost the same as the first test, which forced him to temporarily stop and find out the reason.
The operating process and process conditions were carefully reviewed again, and nothing suspicious was found. Where did the problem lie? Fang Hanmin sat at his desk, aimlessly looking at the various materials on the table, and his eyes suddenly fell on the list of raw materials received and consumed.
Picking up the list of more than a dozen bills stapled together with paper clips, Fang Hanmin flipped through it at will. When he looked at the acetic acid pick-up list, he found that the item specification column was filled with the words "98%". It turned out that the test process The reaction medium used was 98% aqueous acetic acid, not the glacial acetic acid he requested!
"Maybe this is the reason!" Fang Hanmin muttered to himself, got up and walked out.
Entering the workshop office, before Fang Hanmin could speak, Lao Yang asked with concern: "Hanmin, did the test go well?" For some unknown reason, Lao Yang changed Fang Hanmin's title.
"Director, I was just about to report this matter to you."
"Okay, sit down and talk about the test." Because it was decided in advance that Fang Hanmin would be solely responsible for the test and would not be interfered with by the outside world, Lao Yang neither went to the test site nor took the initiative to inquire about the test results. In fact, He is always following the progress of the experiment.
Fang Hanmin briefly introduced the test process, "Overall, the test went smoothly. In the first test, the purity of the 'acylated' product reached 98%."
Lao Yang couldn't help but interjected: "In my impression, the product content of the 'acylation' position in the workshop is generally only about 95%. It suddenly increased by 3%. The result is very good!"
"The purity has improved, but the yield has not reached expectations."
"Oh ---, that means that the experiment was only half successful?" The joy that was still on Lao Yang's face just now faded a lot in an instant.
"You can say that, but the reason that affects the yield has been found."
"Really? It will be easy to solve if we find the reason. Alas, what caused the yield to be lower than expected?" Lao Yang asked eagerly.
"According to the process requirements, glacial acetic acid should be used as the reaction medium, but the test used acetic acid with a content of only 98%. I think this is the root cause of the failure to improve the yield." After speaking, Fang Hanmin handed over a picking list. Presented in front of Lao Yang.
After reading the numbers on the receipt, Lao Yang's expression became serious, "So, the problem lies with the workshop preparers. The raw materials they prepared for the test did not meet the requirements?"
Lao Yang has a bad temper. If the preparers were really responsible, he would scold them and maybe even give them a punishment.
Fang Hanmin believes that this experiment has created a gap between the workshop technician Lao Wu and him. If the workshop material preparer becomes enmity with him again because of the raw materials, it will not be worth it for him as a temporary worker! So he quickly took the responsibility on himself and said, "You can't blame the material preparer for this. Maybe I didn't make the requirements clear when I proposed the raw material plan."
Lao Yang is a very principled person. He said angrily: "You don't have to take responsibility for them. I know those people's work sense of responsibility better than you. They are all placed in such a relaxed and comfortable position because of their connections and backgrounds." positions, if it weren’t for the sake of face, I would have replaced them long ago!”
