Lao Wu's major in college was nominally chemical engineering. Due to the political movement that swept across the country, the school actually basically suspended classes in the second semester of his junior year, so he didn't learn much professional knowledge.
In the first few years after joining the work, the chaotic situation in the factory was not conducive to personal learning and improvement in professional knowledge. In such an environment, within a few years, Lao Wu had almost forgotten most of the basic knowledge he learned in college. Now, he can become the technical supervisor of the second workshop only because of his university diploma. After all, in local state-owned enterprises like Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, there are only a handful of university graduates assigned to him in recent years.
Lao Wu had never heard of the title of the book reported by Fang Hanmin, but based on the author's name, he could tell that it was a monograph on pharmaceutical technology written by foreign scholars.
Although he had neither heard of this book nor read this monograph, it was indeed a bit embarrassing for Lao Wu, but through this incident, he felt that the mystery that had troubled him for many days seemed to be solved. Answer.
No wonder colleagues say that this nerd holds a book all day long. It turns out that he is studying pharmaceutical technology! It seems that Fang Hanmin's suggestions for process improvement in the "acylation" position were not based on imagination, but were based on book theory.
Lao Wu still remembers the first time he discussed the "acylation" process improvement plan with Fang Hanmin. Fang Hanmin talked about the mechanism of the reaction medium. He was wondering at the time how a temporary worker who had been in the factory for more than a year could understand such profound things. theory? Now, the mystery has finally been solved.
Thinking of this, Old Wu said calmly: "To be honest, this is the first time I have heard you mention the title of this book."
"Ha, ha," Fang Hanmin smiled strangely and planned to continue reading.
"Xiao Fang, it seems that this kind of foreign academic monograph has not been seen in domestic bookstores. Where did you buy this kind of book?"
Of course Lao Wu would not know that in the 1980s, not only were there no such books in China, but there were no such monographs abroad either, because this was an academic work published only in the new century, and there were many technical details in the book. It was a cutting-edge technology that had not yet been developed even in developed countries at that time!
Lao Wu's inquisitive questioning made Fang Hanmin a little uneasy. It was originally a false story. Fang Hanmin didn't have any "Pharmaceutical Process Development" at hand. How could he justify himself?
After thinking about it for a while, Fang Hanmin made up a reason. Although it was far-fetched and could not withstand careful scrutiny, it was enough to deal with Lao Wu. "I had a very close teacher in high school who had a relative abroad. When he knew After I worked as a temporary worker at the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, I asked his relatives to buy me this book and send it back."
"Oh ---, it seems to be the original English book, can you understand it?" Old Wu's doubts have not been eliminated.
"With the little English I learned in high school, of course I couldn't understand the original academic monograph. In addition, I didn't know anything about the craftsmanship techniques introduced in the book at first, so I decided to learn English by myself while slowly reading it. The content in the book. Hard work pays off. After more than a year of hard work, I finally understand some of the basics."
Lao Wu nodded. His colleagues all said that Fang Hanmin was an impersonal nerd, and laughed at him for holding a book when he had nothing to do. How did they know that Fang Hanmin not only had to teach himself English, but also had to study the professional knowledge in pharmaceutical technology monographs. , there is no time to think about interpersonal relationships!
After learning about these situations, Lao Wu had a sincere admiration for Fang Hanmin. He felt that Fang Hanmin's spirit of study and persistence in pharmaceutical technology was not only something he could not do himself, but also the two to three thousand employees in the whole factory. No one else can do it!
...
Although he knew that the test hosted by Fang Hanmin was very successful, the workshop director Lao Yang still needed to seek the opinion of the technical supervisor Lao Wu before reporting to the functional departments and factory leaders of the factory. For this reason, a week ago, he summarized the test The report and test results summary table were handed over to Lao Wu. A week later, he couldn't help but ask Lao Wu for his opinions and views.
"I have read both the summary report and the test results. I have the impression that the test hosted by Fang Hanmin was very successful, and the test summary report was also well written!"
Lao Wu's confession dispelled Lao Yang's concerns. He originally thought that Lao Wu would stay out of the matter like he did some time ago, and even prevent the process improvement from continuing. It seems that he was overthinking, "Do you think we should take some time to Will you report the test results to the factory?"
"It's not about taking time, but we should report to the factory now. I don't think there is anything more important in our second workshop than this!"
"Okay, let's go to the technical department to report now."
In the technical office of Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory, Lao Wu took out Fang Hanmin's test summary report and test results summary table, "Chief Xue, take a look at this."
"What is this?" Lao Xue looked at the two leaders of the second workshop blankly.
"You'll know just by looking at it."
Lao Xue spent nearly half an hour carefully reading the test report and results summary table from beginning to end, then raised his head and asked: "You did the test in the workshop? Is this the test process and test results?"
"Yes, what you see is the trial summary report and the summary of trial results, but to be precise, we support the trial, but we did not do the trial ourselves." Lao Wu clarified.
"I don't understand. What do you mean? How could you not do the test? Besides you two leaders, who else in the second workshop can do such a test?"
Lao Wu gave a rough explanation of the cause of the matter. Section Chief Xue couldn't believe it was true. "A temporary worker came up with such a bold and forward-thinking idea? And then he personally presided over and completed the experiment? Are you kidding me?" "
"Chief Xue, there are so many technical problems in the second workshop, how can we bother to joke with you!" Lao Yang said seriously.
"Well, you're just kidding. However, your experiment was not submitted to the technical department for approval. There is a procedural problem. This is a work mistake by your two leaders."
Lao Yang quickly took over the responsibility, because he was the one who made the final decision on the matter, "Chief Xue, the responsibility for this matter lies with me and has nothing to do with Wu Gong. To be honest, at that time, the young man proposed to improve the 'acylation' position When he suggested the process technology, I didn’t have much hope for him, but his motivation was good and his work enthusiasm was worthy of recognition. As workshop leaders, of course we should support him. Fortunately, improving the process only requires changing one reaction medium, and other conditions There is no need to mobilize troops, so I decided to find a set of equipment in the workshop for testing first. If the test is successful, I will report it to the factory. If the test is not successful, I will just give it up. It is all my fault."
Section Chief Xue and Lao Yang are both middle-level cadres of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. Lao Yang has been working at the grassroots level for a long time and is hard-working and hard-working. The factory leaders have to be accommodating to the workshop directors on the production line, even though Lao Yang's original decision was procedural. It was inappropriate, but he had admitted his mistake, and the purpose was to solve technical problems for the second workshop. If Lao Xue continued to pursue this matter, it would be inappropriate.
Of course, Lao Yang had considered the censure from the technical department when he made the decision, but he thought he was very magnanimous because everything he did was for work. At worst, he would go to the factory director to plead guilty.
In fact, compared with solving the technical problems in the second workshop, the procedural issues at work are not a big deal. Not only Lao Yang knows this, but Section Chief Tangled up in little things.
Seeing that Lao Yang took over the responsibility and criticized himself, Lao Xue waved his hand, "I'm just saying casually, the matter is not as serious as you think, isn't it that such good test results have been achieved? This is encouraging news !”
"What does Chief Xue mean, what should we do next?"
"You are grassroots leaders, and I want to hear your plans or ideas first."
"We want to transplant the experimental process directly to the 'acylation' position of the workshop production line, thereby achieving technological transformation of the existing production process."
"The idea is good, but I want to know how sure it is to be successful if it is directly transplanted to the production line?" Although Lao Xue only knows a little about the process technology of the second workshop, he still has to say it if he is pretentious, otherwise how can he show that he is the technical expert of the whole factory? What about the leaders of the competent departments?
Lao Wu on the side said confidently: "I have carefully studied the test process in the test summary report. I think it is feasible to transplant the test process directly to the production line, and it will definitely be successful!"
What really gave Lao Wu confidence was not that he carefully studied Fang Hanmin's test summary report, but because he knew that the test was no different from regular production, plus his understanding of the pharmaceutical process through contact with Fang Hanmin a few days ago. .
After receiving such a positive answer, Section Chief Xue was naturally very satisfied, "In that case, in what aspects do you need the help of the technical department? For example, we will submit the process technology improvement report of the second workshop to the factory and request the factory to provide financial and material resources. We will provide support to the second workshop.”
"Thank you, Section Chief Xue, for thinking so thoughtfully for us! If the test process is directly transplanted to the 'acylation' position of the production line, there is basically no need for the factory to invest more money in the second workshop. At most, a few valves or a small number of pipes will be replaced. These spare parts We have them in stock in the warehouse of the second workshop.”
Lao Yang and Lao Wu reported the test situation and next plan to the technical department. Their purpose was just to go through the work procedures. They did not want to get any help from the technical department. After all, this was a technical transformation of one position in the second workshop. They did not report to the technical department. The technical department in charge of the whole factory should report this, but it would be unjustifiable no matter what.
Lao Xue planned to report this matter to the factory leaders immediately. Lao Yang told him that there was no need to alarm the factory leaders for the technical transformation of a position. Even if a report was needed, it was best to wait until the process transformation of the "acylation" position in the second workshop was completed. Not too late...
Returning to the office of the second workshop, Lao Yang asked about the specific implementation plan for the next step. Lao Wu said without hesitation: "Leave it to Fang Hanmin. Just like you asked him to preside over the test last time, this time he will be fully responsible for the 'acylation' position." process transformation.”
Lao Wu's attitude towards Fang Hanmin changed 180 degrees, which was completely beyond Lao Yang's expectation, "Last time it was just an experiment, this time it is a large-scale process transformation, regardless of the workload or the various types of work involved. Relationships, as well as the management of personnel and materials, both have different duties. Do you think it is feasible to hand over such an important task to Fang Hanmin? "
