Xu Hui and Jiang Guoxin were exhausted from being busy on the front line of technical transformation for a long time. Fang Hanmin saw all this. Now that the new process has been officially put into production in the first workshop, writing written reporting materials for the process transformation is an important task. It was a tight task, so he wanted the two assistants to rest at home for a week.
On the fifth day after the people in the technical department evacuated from the first workshop, around nine o'clock in the morning, the phone on Fang Hanmin's desk suddenly rang rapidly. He picked it up and said, "This is the technical department. Who are you?"
"Chief Fang, I am Old Han from the first workshop. Please come and take a look."
"Han Gong, what's the matter?"
"We can't tell clearly. You'll know when you come and take a look."
Fang Hanmin didn't dare to neglect, put down the phone, and immediately got up and ran to the office of the first workshop. When he got there, he pushed the door open and saw Lao Han holding several test reports in his hand, and Lao Su sitting opposite with a gloomy face.
"What's going on?" Fang Hanmin asked as he entered the room.
"Chief Fang, please sit down first and take a look at the quality inspection reports of these batches of products." Old Han greeted.
Sitting down on the bench next to him, Fang Hanmin took the test report form from Lao Han, carefully checked the various monitoring indicators on it, and found that the content of the last three batches of products did not meet the standards, "What's going on? Have you found the reason? ?"
Lao Su, the workshop director, said lazily: "We searched, but we couldn't find the reason, so we asked you to come over and have a look."
In this case, Fang Hanmin felt that he had nothing to talk to Su Wenquan and Lao Han. They were not on the production line, so he might as well go to various positions in the workshop in person to see what happened in the past few days.
Fang Hanmin came to the second production unit. He calmly checked from post No. 1 to post No. 8. There was no problem with the workers' operations. He then checked the operation records of each post in turn. As a result, at the crystallization post, Fang Hanmin found that the cooling time was different from the requirements of the process regulations.
Finding the monitor on duty, Fang Hanmin pointed to the operation record and pulled out the relevant clauses of the operating procedures, "Do you think this meets the requirements of the regulations?"
"This... is different from the regulations. Not only our class, but all teams do this." The squad leader scratched his hair and admitted.
"Why are you doing this?"
"There is nothing we can do. We are asked to do this by above."
"Above? Who asked for this?"
"The workshop director instructed us to adjust the cooling speed to the same as before, and every team did as he asked."
"You mean the workshop director, Old Su, asked you to do this? Do you dare to say that in front of him?" Fang Hanmin felt incredible.
"He was the one who asked us to extend the cooling time. Why shouldn't we admit it in front of him? This is what he said."
"Okay, then let me tell you, from now on, change the cooling time back and operate in accordance with the requirements of the process regulations."
"Is this... okay? What if Director Su knows?"
"Don't worry, he will have to follow the process regulations even if he knows."
Fang Hanmin went to the crystallization stations of other production units and found exactly the same mistakes, and he corrected them one by one.
Although he was angry at Lao Su's blind command, Fang Hanmin finally felt relieved that he had found the problem. However, this matter had to be explained clearly to the two leaders of the first workshop in person. When he returned to the office of the first workshop, the technician Lao Han asked : "Did you find the reason?"
Fang Hanmin did not rush to answer, but took out an operating procedure and an operating record, turned to the relevant page, and handed it to Lao Han, "Take a look at this."
Old Han didn't know what he meant. He took what Fang Hanmin handed over and looked at him, "What... does this mean?"
"You take a look first and you will know after reading it."
Lao Han carefully looked at the contents of the operating procedures and operating records, and compared them repeatedly for a long time, and finally found the problem, "The cooling time is different. Is there any problem with this?"
"Of course there is a problem. The cooling time is too long, which means the crystallization speed is too slow and the crystal particles become larger, which will inevitably contain more impurities and ultimately affect the purity of the product." Fang Hanmin analyzed.
Lao Han nodded in agreement, "Well, that's the truth, but..."
Fang Hanmin grabbed the conversation, "But how dare the workshop workers change the process conditions at will?"
"Yes, the operating procedures are clearly written, how can the operator change them at will? This matter must be taken seriously!"
Fang Hanmin glanced at the workshop director Su Wenquan who was sitting at the table opposite Lao Han and had been silent. "Without the leader's words, how could the workers dare to change the process conditions casually! Right? Director Su."
Just now, he had regarded himself as an outsider. Suddenly, when he heard Fang Hanmin asking, Old Su said in a daze: "What? Who said something?"
"I just went to each post in the workshop to check carefully and discovered the problem. The employees on duty at the crystallization post said that you asked them to extend the crystallization time. Is this true?"
"Me?" Old Su wanted to deny it, but considering that the workshop employees had told Fang Hanmin the truth, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I said that the crystallization time should be extended to the same as before. No matter what kind of process, the crystallization process should be It’s all the same, does extending the crystallization time affect the purity of the product?”
"Of course it has an impact! I just said the reason. Director Su, I don't quite understand, why do you let the workers change the process conditions at will?"
"I think some unimportant process conditions should be unified with the past to facilitate workshop management." Lao Su felt that he was justified.
Fang Hanmin said helplessly: "Irrelevant process conditions? Is that what you said? As long as it is the process conditions required in the operating procedures, none of them are irrelevant! The principles of the old and new processes are different. Even the crystallization process is not the same as before. There is a difference, I hope you will strictly abide by the process discipline! And the facts during the trial run prove that there is nothing that is not conducive to management if the operating procedures are strictly implemented."
Afraid of a quarrel between Lao Su and Fang Hanmin, Lao Han changed the subject and said, "Chief Fang, what should we do next?"
"I have told the employees at the crystallization position to immediately restore the crystallization time to the standards of the commissioning stage in accordance with the requirements of the process regulations."...
Since then, the operation of the first workshop has been normal. However, no matter how big or small, as long as it has something to do with process technology, even if the workshop technician Lao Wu can solve the problem, the workshop director Su Wenquan has to call Fang Hanmin, which makes Fang Hanmin overwhelmed. bother.
More than ten days later, when submitting a written report on the process improvement to Factory Director Yuan, Fang Hanmin said that the leader of the first workshop failed to fulfill his duties and even gave blind orders. He still cannot do without the guidance of the technical department and the work he has done. caused a certain degree of distress.
"Why do you say that?" Director Yuan knew that Fang Hanmin never talked about others behind their backs. He was surprised when he heard Fang Hanmin's complaints.
"Half a month ago, a quality incident occurred just a week after they took over. I was asked to analyze the cause. It turned out that the workshop director, Lao Su, made the decision without authorization and let the employees change the process conditions at will, resulting in several batches of product quality being substandard."
"Is there such a thing? I haven't heard you say it before. How are you doing now?" Lao Yuan began to pay attention to Fang Hanmin's reaction.
"After I found the reason, I asked the employees on the job to correct it on the spot, and also pointed out to Lao Su that it was wrong to violate the operating procedures. However, since then, Lao Su has been looking for everything related to process technology in the workshop. Me, even those problems they could have solved on their own.”
"In your opinion, do they not understand the new technology at all, or are they deliberately trying to cause trouble for you?"
"I think there are two reasons. In terms of technology, their Korean workers should have mastered 80 to 90% of it, and Lao Su only knew a little bit about it. But some of Lao Su's behaviors were obviously to find trouble, because he started from the beginning There is resistance to technological transformation.”
Speaking of this matter, Factory Director Yuan still had the impression that at that time he asked Deputy Factory Director Wang to coordinate the working relationship between the first workshop and the technical department. It was because Lao Su interfered with it that Lao Wang could not coordinate, and finally the problem came to Director Yuan. It was because he did the work himself that he reluctantly allowed Lao Su to accept work coordination.
Director Yuan nodded, "Well, Lao Su didn't welcome process transformation in the first place. Maybe he was used to managing old processes and was a little afraid of new technologies. Now he is learning from scratch. He is a bit older and his brain has become dull. It’s understandable that I can’t learn.”
"However, technological progress is the general trend. Without technological progress, there will be no future! Moreover, the technical transformation of the first workshop has been completed and cannot be restored to the past!" Fang Hanmin said anxiously.
"Don't worry, we have already reached a consensus that technological progress will be the focus of the entire factory's work in the future. Not to mention that a workshop cannot be restored to its previous state, even if it can be changed back to the old process, it must not be done like that! That is not reversing the course, it is the same as Is it going against the general trend of the times? Not only is it making people laugh, but it’s also a complete fool’s errand!”
“Having said that, where does the workshop go from here?”
"Needless to say? The successful launch of the new process is a major event for Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory! You can't be pessimistic about the first workshop just because some people can't adapt. The first workshop and the new process now adopted are unshakable. But those who are not adapted to new technologies and new processes can be moved." Lao Yuan said meaningfully.
Fang Hanmin thought thoughtfully, "Director Yuan, you mean...?"
"Yes, maybe you have guessed, aren't some people not adaptable to the new process? Then let them move! What is a middle-level cadre? I am the director of the factory. As long as I don't adapt to the new situation, the superior authorities will still let me Move home.”
"Isn't this not good? It makes people think that the first workshop has carried out process transformation, but the workshop leader has been changed. It seems that the technical department played some role in it."
"Hanmin, you are overthinking. A workshop with two to three thousand people cannot be abandoned because of poor leadership. No matter who it is, as long as it is not qualified for the job, it must be moved. Don't care what the outside world says. In addition, I also want to Let me tell you, as long as you think something is right, do it boldly. No one can control the opinions of the outside world, but that cannot be the key factor that hinders your decision-making. The matter of the first workshop is very simple for me, but I suffer from the lack of replacement The choice makes me hesitant.”
Fang Hanmin worried again and again, "Actually..., it may not be appropriate for me to say this, so let's forget it."
"There is no one else here. If you have any ideas, you might as well say it. Even if it is mutual communication, even if it is inappropriate, it doesn't matter."
"Actually, as long as the factory broadens its horizons, we may be able to find useful talents among young people."
Factory Director Yuan was very interested in this suggestion, "Oh? This is a good idea for young people. You are a young person and you must know them well. In the process of dealing with them, have you discovered such talents?"
"Only through long-term contact can we understand a person. In the past two or three years, through working relationships, I have had a lot of contact with four young people in the technical department. It can be said that I have a relatively in-depth understanding of them. Regardless of business level or management ability, I I think all four of them are good, they are not only enthusiastic about their work, but also very responsible.”
Factory Director Yuan seemed to have made some new discovery, "Hey, you observed very carefully. I thought you were focused on technology and had no time to care about anything else."
