Comfortable life in Siheyuan

In the morning, when the sky was bright, Liu Qingshan finally didn't have to queue up for the toilet. It was really much more convenient to have a toilet at home. The public toilet in the courtyard was really hard to describe for a later generation.

After having breakfast at home, the family of three went out to work.

Arriving at the office and pouring a cup of tea, Liu Qingshan planned to hand over the 5S management method he had sorted out in the past two weeks to the section chief.

It was compiled into a management method for the factory workshop, including some information about regular maintenance of machines, centralized training of personnel, and improvement of the workshop environment.

Taking the documents, he knocked on the door of the section chief's office.

"Chief, I have something to report to you." He handed over the document.

Then he continued, "Section Chief, in the past few days, I have carefully observed the working environment and work processes of our factory's workshops, and also looked through many accident files. I have made this document. The main purpose is to ensure safe production while also improving the work efficiency of the workers."

Section Chief Qin watched for about a cup of tea.

"You wrote this material in great detail. It indeed mentioned many problems in the factory." Section Chief Qin said with a serious face!

"Come with me to find the factory leaders, and we will report these matters to them." Section Chief Qin interrupted Liu Qingshan.

The two of them went out together and went to the factory director's office.

Arriving at Director Yang's office, Section Chief Qin first introduced the director: "Director Yang, this is the new college student assigned to our factory. His name is Liu Qingshan, and he is also the son of a worker in our factory."

Director Yang also stood up and said, "I know you. You are an outstanding graduate of Beigang this year. Many factories are vying for you. I was wondering why you were willing to come here. It turns out that you are one of our own!"

"Director Yang, my father is Liu Yaohui from the factory's electrician group. I have been playing in the factory since I was a child and have feelings for our factory." Liu Qingshan also said!

"Okay, that's great. Old Qin, is there anything you need my help with?" Director Yang asked Section Chief Qin.

Section Chief Qin took out the document and handed it to the factory director.

"Director, this document was written by Xiao Liu. I took a look at it and it's very well written. If it's done well, it can effectively reduce accidents and improve work efficiency. Please take a look." Section Chief Qin flipped through the management rules of the workshop and started discussing it with the director. Soon Liu Qingshan also joined the discussion.

"The working environment in the factory workshop is very poor, and the sanitary conditions are poor. Working in this environment for a long time makes people prone to illness. Our workers have to bear minor illnesses by themselves. Once an accident occurs, it is a big deal. They are the pillars of their families. In the current environment, even diarrhea is unbearable."

"The equipment in the factory still needs frequent maintenance. Several of our technicians went to the workshops to instruct the old masters on maintenance a few times. In the future, the old masters will take the lead in weekly maintenance. This will extend the service life of the equipment and ensure that any problems with the equipment are discovered and dealt with early, rather than being scrapped." Liu Qingshan said.

The factory manager nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but the factory has a heavy production task, so you have to arrange your time well."

Liu Qingshan lowered his head and thought for a while: "I plan to build a workshop first to see how it works."

"How about this, we'll have a meeting this afternoon and discuss it. Xiao Liu, this was your suggestion. You can attend the meeting with Section Chief Qin and the deputy chief engineer this afternoon." After saying this, the factory director looked carefully at the document in his hand.

The two men said hello to Director Yang again, left the factory office and returned to the technical department.

In the technical department office, Liu Qingshan sorted out the materials that might be needed for the afternoon meeting.

As soon as we got to work in the afternoon, three people from the technical department went to the factory meeting room together. Soon all the factory leaders arrived.

"I initiated today's meeting. Liu Qingshan, a college student in our factory, submitted a set of workshop management methods. Let's brainstorm and see if there are any additions or revisions." Director Yang said after smoking a cigarette.

"Director Yang, I have also read this document. It does make sense, but the factory is facing a heavy production task right now. What should we do if these formalities affect production?" Deputy Director Li also spoke up.

"This was proposed by Comrade Qingshan. Tell us about your ideas!" Come on, comrades, quack quack! !

After he finished speaking, applause broke out in the office.

"Dear factory leaders, this is what I think. It is really unrealistic to change all five workshops at once, and our technical department is too busy to handle it.

I plan to use one workshop as a model first, so there won’t be any loss.

The workers in the factory use their break time to clean the entire workshop and unify the arrangement of materials. At the same time, our technical department guides the masters to carry out maintenance.

As for the improvement of workers' quality mentioned in the document, my idea is to let those who are good at teaching apprentices and know how to teach them use their lunch break to teach apprentices and low-level workers to improve the workers' movement standards. The factory will provide some subsidies to make these teachers more willing to teach.

After saying this, discussions broke out in the factory office.

"It is true that there are many senior technicians who can do but cannot teach. Take Yi Zhonghai, for example. He is a seventh-level fitter, but none of his apprentices are decent. There was even a safety accident last year," said a workshop director.

"Yes, many old employees hold on to old ideas. They think that teaching an apprentice will only make them starve to death, so they keep something back when teaching anything."

"We have several intermediate technicians in our workshop. They are only intermediate level themselves, but they are willing to teach and know how to teach. Their apprentices have all passed the beginner level." Several other directors also echoed!

Section Chief Qin stood up and said, "In the coming period, our technical department is also going to produce the operation and maintenance manuals for the factory's equipment and hand them over to the experienced technicians in the factory. They will pass on their experience and skills. This will also increase work efficiency and reduce the failure rate. Zhang Gong, deputy chief engineer of our technical department, will be specifically responsible for this matter."

Zhang Yejun also stood up: "From a professional perspective, this manual can effectively prevent accidents and increase production."

"Then it should be implemented as soon as possible. If it is indeed effective, it should be actively reported to the department. Does anyone have any other opinions? Secretary Guo and Deputy Director Li, what do you think?" Director Yang asked the two.

"I have no objection. I think it can be done." Secretary Guo said firmly.

After another discussion of more than half an hour, they decided to make one workshop the demonstration workshop and start the transformation from there.

The technical section chief Qin is responsible for this, with Liu Qingshan assisting. Deputy chief engineer Zhang Yejun is responsible for technical support and writing maintenance manuals.

The director of a workshop selects the experienced workers who are good at teaching in the workshop to teach and mentor them. Deputy Director Li provides logistical support.

The whole factory started a major reform in full swing.

In less than half a month, the appearance of a workshop was completely renewed. The overall environment was clean and sanitary, and the items were neatly arranged. Every noon, some masters were there to explain the essentials of the movements. On Saturday afternoon, before leaving get off work, they would maintain the machines half an hour in advance.

Everything became orderly. The workers were more motivated, especially the apprentices, who ate lunch in the workshop for fear of missing out on the guidance of the master.

The workers' work efficiency has also improved, and it is safer and more efficient. The entire technical department is even busier.

Seeing the results, the factory leaders began to make major improvements throughout the factory, including logistics and factory office. During this period, the workers were more motivated to work.

The factory leaders also handed the document to the department, and the department also arranged for people to come down and inspect it.

The factory praised Liu Qingshan for his work during this period and made him a regular employee ahead of schedule.

Liu Qingshan also submitted the original 5S management method to the department, which was praised by his superiors. The department even rewarded him with a bicycle ticket, which made him very happy.
