Chapter 149: Start of assembly line operation

Li Huaide motioned for Wang Xin to speak. Wang Xin saw that Li Huaide motioned for him, so he immediately stood up and said, "Director Li, since this is a document from above, we will definitely execute it. But I want to know what this combination of assembly line and piece-rate work means? If the workers only know a part of the processing procedures, how will we take the examination? How will the workers' wages be increased in the future?"

Li Huaide looked at Wang Xin and nodded. He said that Wang Xin was a practical man who cared about the interests of the workers.

He said, "I think everyone has the same question about the opinion raised by Director Wang. You can open page 85 of the plan, which clearly proposes the workflow of assembly line operation combined with piecework recording. The comparison between the current salary and the planned salary is also explained later. One thing you should pay attention to is that we are in a trial run. I am not going to implement this system in all our steel rolling mills. I plan to divide one to three workshops from each processing workshop to run the new work mode, and the remaining workshops will remain unchanged according to the previous mode. After a quarter, we will compare them with each other. If everyone approves of the new mode, we will make large-scale changes. If the new workshop is not approved, we will find a way. In addition, the previous model will not be abandoned. We will talk about this after the trial period. Do you have any questions now?"

Then several people asked some questions, and Li Huaide answered them one by one.

After everyone had asked their questions, Li Huaide left a few workshop directors behind and the rest of the meeting adjourned.

After everyone left, Li Huaide looked at the workshop directors who stayed and took out a stack of names. He said, "We keep you here because we want to use your workshop as a pilot. Your workshop will be the first to be renovated. Now think about it, are there any lazy people in the workshop who are difficult to manage? Tell me and I will transfer them to another workshop. I will make sure that the rest are obedient. Remember to be obedient. Mark those people on the list now." He then distributed the list.

Several workshop directors looked at each other and quickly started to make marks on the list. After a long time, when everyone had handed in their lists, Li Huaide took a look and signaled that the workshop directors could leave.

Several workshop directors had just left when they found that Li Huaide handed the list to the security soldier who was waiting at the door. The soldier trotted away after getting the list. When the directors returned to the workshop, they found that the security department had already started to take people away according to the people on the list. The workshop was in chaos. After all the people on the list were taken away, a group of workers came in from outside the workshop and waited for instructions from the workshop director.

While the workshop director was still thinking about how to arrange these new people, the people from the special workshop came in and said to the workshop director: "Hello, director. We are sent by Director Li to plan your workshop." After that, he took out the blueprint from his arms and handed it to the workshop director.

The workshop director picked it up and saw that it was a plan of the entire workshop, which clearly showed where the machines were placed and where the workpiece started and ended.

The workshop director took a look and said, "Okay, let's get to work," and began to direct the staff to use tools to move the machine.

By the time everything was settled, it was already past the time to get off work. The workshop director still sent someone to the canteen to get lunch, just to save time and officially start work the next day.

The other pilot workshops are basically the same, and some workshops have not finished their work yet because the lunch break was a little longer.

The workers were packing up and preparing to go home when the person who came to give instructions from the special workshop suddenly shouted with a loud speaker: "Everyone, please work hard and put the things in place according to our requirements before the New Year before leaving get off work. We will officially start work tomorrow. This is also for everyone to have a better job tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work."

When the workers heard this, they had to get on with it. Fortunately, the workshop was full of obedient people and there were no troublemakers. The workers tidied up everything before going home. By then, it was already dark.

(Speaking of an off-topic topic, I also know that the machines in the workshop cannot be planned well in one day, but for the sake of the plot, please forgive me and just treat it as a small cheat! Haha...)

Nothing happened overnight. When the workers in the new workshop went to work the next day, they found that the workshop director had come to the workshop early and the workers' names and tasks were already posted on each workstation.

When everyone got to their workstations, someone shouted, "Director, this is not right. My job description says that my job is to drill holes. What about other jobs? You don't want to do this anymore?"

The person in front of him also shouted: "Hey, you are drilling? I am shaping, not director, what are you doing?"

The workshop director then took the loud speaker that the special workshop staff had used yesterday and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, and listen to me. Yesterday, the factory leaders followed the instructions from above to innovate our steel rolling mill. Our workshop is one of the few pilots of the new model. I hope everyone will work according to the instructions at your workstation. If there is anything you don't understand, we will discuss it together this afternoon. Now let's start working. Do you understand?"

When the workers heard this, they knew it was the instruction from their superiors, so they didn't say anything. After all, they had something to discuss in the afternoon, so they just focused on their work for now.

It is not a big deal to start the work. The workers found that the placement of the workpiece is very particular. A workpiece is divided from beginning to end. From the first worker to the last, a workpiece is processed. If the workpiece is unqualified, they can find out where the problem lies at once.

At the beginning, the person at the back had no work to do, and he secretly laughed at the people in front who were working. But after a while, he could not laugh anymore. When the people in front finished their work and it was his turn, he found that work pieces came one after another and he could not finish them at all. He did not even have time to be lazy.

However, there were also some inappropriate voices, "How did you make your workpiece? If it's not done right, how are we going to work later?"

"It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. I'm going to do this job. If you don't want to do it, get out of the way. Please stay behind me."

"How do you talk like that?"

"I just talk like this, so what?"

Just when a fight was about to break out, the workshop director arrived. After understanding the situation, he said to the man in front: "Little monkey, if you deduct a penny from a workpiece like this again, I won't care if you continue to waste money like this, and the people behind you will have nothing to do."

The little monkey immediately became obedient upon hearing this, and pleaded to the director: "Director, I was wrong. Can't I just do it properly? I'll do it now." After that, the little monkey started to do the workpiece properly.

The workshop director nodded, picked up the loud speaker beside him and shouted, "Everyone, stop for a moment. I have something to announce. Everyone is entitled to two scrapped workpieces per day. If you exceed this number, one cent will be deducted for each workpiece. From now on, you all should consider it carefully. If anyone thinks the money is too much, they can continue to not work hard."
