Steel Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 56: Rectification (3) A long way to go

(The third update is coming, ask for red ticket, ask for collection)

For a whole day, Shen Huai was accompanied by Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong, and several deputy factory directors, and went to work section by section.

Others are killing chickens to show the monkeys, Shen Huai is killing the monkeys to show the chickens - when the news spread that the deputy factory director surnamed Guo was ordered to resign in public because he did not change his safety shoes when he entered the production area, he walked to the next section, at least he couldn't see it. Wearing slippers to work, undisguised smoking in the workshop or gambling in the warehouse, and no workers in the workshop.

Although high pressure can improve the production situation, there is no way to fundamentally improve the situation of the steel mill. The root is too bad.

Most of the employees of the steel mill come from various villages in Meixi Town. The proportion of employees with a high school or high school entrance examination or above is not high. Most of them have a junior high school education. There are even a considerable number of employees who have not even graduated from primary school.

Shen Huai can remove all the management, but there is no way to remove all the front-line workers with low education.

"Training, no matter how much resources are invested, should be adequately trained for frontline workers," he said.

Shen Huai called Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong, Hu Zhigang and several deputy factory directors, department and workshop leaders together to talk about things while he was having dinner in the cafeteria.

"The production can't be stopped, so we will use the night for training. XCMG and Zhao Dong will prepare some training materials tomorrow, or they can directly use the training materials from the municipal steel plant for the time being. Let's start with labor discipline, production safety, and job skills. The training will be delayed. It will take two months for those who pass the assessment to be formally employed. For all employees who participate in the training at night and pass the assessment, the training time will be calculated as double the working hours for overtime, and the salary will be increased by two levels. If the assessment fails, They are all taken down. The factory area and the town all need cleaners. I want to clean up and I can always do the job..."

For ordinary workers, sticks and candies should be used to mobilize enthusiasm.

When it comes to off-duty hours, ordinary employees and grass-roots team leaders almost all go to get off work as usual.

Those who plan to leave the steel mill, have a way to be transferred back to the county's functional department, and the managers who think they are Du Jian's hard-core confidants who will inevitably be cleaned out, have the idea of ​​"not leaving the master here, but leaving the master's place". He didn't dare to conflict with Shen Huai, but he wasn't particularly afraid of Shen Huai, and he would leave normally when he got off work.

Those who were unwilling to be cleaned up, or even if they were kicked out of the steel mill, could only return to the town government to see Shen Huai's face, so they could only bite the bullet and stay. He also hoped that he would be soft at this time. Even if his ability was not good, he could still hope that Shen Huai would be soft and not show any sympathy when cleaning them up.

Including the original management who can insist on gritting their teeth and staying, plus Hu Zhigang and other special assistants who have been recommended from the team and various departments, as well as Xu Wendao and Pan Cheng, who were officially called to work in the afternoon after being recommended by Zhao Dong and Xu Xiting. Two engineers, the entire management team organized temporarily, there are twenty-six people.

After dinner, Shen Huai called everyone to the factory conference room, sat at one end of the conference table, looked at the people sitting in two circles, and said:

"A lot of what happened yesterday and today was something I didn't want to do, but everyone knows that my heart is not cruel and my hands are not sharp. What about rectification and rescue?"

Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong sat at the conference table and looked at the record book in front of them. They were very familiar with the intertwined problems of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant.

Without the ferocity to cut through the mess with a quick knife, it would be difficult for Meixi Iron and Steel Plant to have a chance of reversal.

It is precisely because they know this, and they also know that Shen Huai's ruthlessness in running the factory with an iron fist is something they do not possess, so they admire Shen Huai more and more.

"I said a lot of harsh things yesterday and today, and everyone will be worried: I am lacking in ability, what should I do?" Shen Huai continued, "There are some people here who only have a junior high school degree, and they are probably very worried that they will not be able to do it. I will kick this guy Shen Huai out. Actually, you don't need to worry so much. I only have two requirements for you now: one is to work hard, and the other is to be willing to learn. Position, I think the steel mill and the town can ask you to do things that you can do. As the saying goes, if you can't do it, you can become an official..."

Many people's tense nerves relaxed a little at this time, and they all laughed heartily when they heard that Shen Huai could even tell jokes.

In the face of companies with chaotic management, tough iron-fisted policies often have direct effects, but blindly iron-fisted high-pressure, without a certain degree of flexibility, is obviously inappropriate.

If it is a purely private enterprise, it does not need to undertake so many social responsibilities, and it can pay taxes according to the regulations. However, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is a collective township-owned enterprise. At the beginning of its development, it directly occupied a large amount of public resources almost for free. Therefore, some social responsibilities that must be assumed cannot be avoided.

Managers with some lack of ability, as well as front-line workers with low education and skills, are problems that steel mills must digest, and cannot push these problems to the town.

"Yesterday, I said that I was very young and had little experience," Shen Huai continued. "Of course, this is a humble statement. I thought everyone admired people who are more humble, but today I went to various workshops and actually walked around. I don’t think I can be too modest. The result of being too modest will only make people mistakenly think that my requirements and standards are very low…”

Everyone laughed again. Yesterday everyone was sitting in the office, and Shen Huai just showed his tough attitude. In the end, how much management experience and level, the vast majority of people do not take it for granted.

Today, everyone followed Shen Huai in various sections, and their calves were sore. Even if they had never eaten pork, they had seen pigs running.

Whether Shen Huai has the ability to manage a steel mill can be seen from the details of his exchanges with front-line workers and cadres.

Xu Xiting also had to admit that Shen Huai was even more proficient in the steelmaking process and industrial management than Zhao Dong. In just two days, Xu Xiting was able to confirm that with Shen Huai's iron fist and mastery of steel plant management, it was entirely possible for Meixi Steel Plant to get out of the quagmire and take off.

What makes Xu Xiting puzzled is: Does this world really have a so-called genius?

When other people knew that Shen Huai had overseas study experience, they felt calmer in their hearts: Returnees are really different!

The conference room has no advanced equipment such as projectors, only a hanging board on the wall.

Shen Huai stood up, picked up the chalk and wrote the number "58" on the hanging board:

"This figure is familiar to all of you. This is the per capita annual output of steel in our factory. That is to say, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, on average, produces only 58 tons of steel per person per year. Tons of steel, this is the most direct measure of the production efficiency of a steel plant," Shen Huai turned around, looked at everyone in the conference room, and asked, "Is this number high?"

Shen Huai turned around and continued to write down a few numbers on the blackboard.

"The second number, 149, is the per capita annual ton of steel produced by the city's steel mills last year..."

"The third number, 238, is the best data in the history of the city's steel mills; this number happens to be the average of the top ten domestic steel companies in terms of efficiency last year..."

"The fourth number, 262, is the per capita annual ton of steel produced by the global steel industry; as for the per capita annual ton of steel produced by world-class iron and steel companies, let's not write it down. That goal is too far away..."

After writing these numbers, Shen Huai quickly used colored chalk to string together the four numbers, and drew a standard graph of the number of tons of steel on the blackboard.

"The hanging board is so big, and the indicators such as energy consumption per ton of steel and billet yield are not enough to draw, but everyone should know how big the gap is," Shen Huai said, "Even if some people don't know it, don't worry. ; My request is that everyone should work hard and study hard from today onwards.”

The faces of Xu Xiting and others were hot and hot.

The production line introduced by Meixi Iron and Steel Plant can be said to be a technology that matured abroad in the early 1980s. At least it is not backward in terms of technical level, but the production efficiency it exerts is not even that of the first-class domestic steel companies and international steel companies. a quarter of the average.

There are many reasons for this situation:

The number of full-time workers is almost equal to that of front-line workers, which directly reduces the per capita steel output by nearly half;

There are serious problems in the procurement process, and the quality of the charge is poor;

The industrial supporting environment is poor, and the supply of electricity and transportation capacity is insufficient;

The technical force is extremely weak. There are more than 800 employees in the whole factory. Even if the junior professional title is included, there are less than 30 qualified professionals;

The production management is seriously lagging behind, the professional quality of employees is poor, and labor discipline is lax, resulting in frequent production accidents of various sizes and serious production waste;

The management bureaucracy is serious, the nepotism in the steel mill is intricate, and there are people eating inside and outside almost every link from top to bottom...

Almost all the drawbacks that domestic public-owned enterprises can have are concentrated in Meixi Iron and Steel Plant.

Although there are various excuses, Xu Xiting is ashamed as the actual person in charge of the technology of the whole factory and will also officially appoint Shen Huai as the general person in charge of the technology of the whole factory.

Including those former management personnel who still have a sense of shame, they are also ashamed that they can't directly confront Shen Huai.

"I will devote my main energy to the steel mill, but I will also be responsible for part of the town's work," Shen Huai said, "How far the Meixi Steel Works can go, in fact, more depends on the people present here. Ladies and gentlemen, I have informed the union to prepare dormitories for each of you who do not live near the factory. Ladies and gentlemen, there is a long way to go…”

Shen Huai believes that Zhao Dong, Xu Xiting, Xu Wendao and Pan Cheng can all find out the problems that occur in the whole production process, and they can propose corresponding rectification plans. Perhaps more importantly, let them be better with the existing managers good fusion.

Shen Huai looked at his watch, it was past nine o'clock in the middle of the night, and he had to meet He Qingshe, so he left the rest of the time to Zhao Dong and Xu Xiting, and before leaving, he gave a special order: "Also Don't be too slow, preferably no more than twelve o'clock; tomorrow morning at half past seven, I have to meet you here on time..."
