So far, Tao Tang has landed on the Red Star, and the most pressure on the team members is not Li Luo, nor Han Zhiyong, nor Zhao Qingmin, but Ma Guangming, who is in charge of production. Without him, because Tao Tang went to the grassroots level almost every day.

Red Star Company has a total of 23 production branches, most of which have a varying number of production workshops, plus service production quality inspection center, physical and chemical measurement center, logistics distribution center and other administrative institutions, forming the company's huge production system. Ma Guangming found that in less than half a month, Tao Tang had already left more than half of the production branch.

There are several ways to go down to the grassroots level, and accompanying the leader to inspect is the most common one, such as Tao Tang's predecessor. Song Yue went down to the grassroots level more to accompany the leaders and guests, and he rarely went to the workshop to inspect alone. In Ma Guangming's view, Chief Engineer Jiang's grassroots level belongs to the horses, and the problem of fart cannot be solved, it is more like killing time. The last one is Tao Tang's this, which is to have a solid understanding of the situation. That day, he met Tao Tang in the branch factory and asked Chen Jianping, the director of the branch, from the production capacity, process, cost, and quality control points all the way, and Chen Jianping asked a lot of sweat.

The third branch is a total component of agricultural machinery and one of the largest branches of Red Star, and Chen Jianping is one of the best branch directors in Ma Guangming's eyes. Chen Jianping is like this, and others are afraid that it is even worse. In fact, asking questions requires more level, and Tao Tang's relentless pursuit of Chen Jianping made Ma Guangming deeply admired, and at the same time felt great pressure. Because that day, when Chen Jianping answered why he did not complete the monthly operation order of the production department this month, he replied that there were two reasons, one is that the attachment to the branch is late, and the second is that the production capacity is insufficient.

Tao Tang then chased down two questions, he called the deputy director in charge of production of the branch plant, the planner, the dispatcher and the dispatcher in charge of the assembly of the third branch of the production department to understand in depth and detail: how many kinds of accessories are there in the third branch factory? How many didn't come in on schedule? A few days late? What measures have been taken? What is the lack of capacity? The branch is now normally in one shift, what is the difficulty if it becomes a two-shift system? How many people are missing?

Chen Jianping's answer alone is different from that of a group of people, because the answers are sometimes contradictory. For example, Chen Jianping said that one-third of the accessories did not enter the factory on time, and Tao Tang asked the dispatcher of the production department to bring the relevant records, but the result was that only 11 kinds of accessories did not enter the factory on time, less than one-tenth of the outsourcing parts, and the latest was four days, not one week as Chen Jianping said.

was afraid of being serious about everything, and Chen Jianping sweated at that time.

As for the lack of production capacity, it is even more absurd, the third branch can assemble more than 300 agricultural machinery per month when it is running at full capacity, and the production plan for that month is 160 units. It is a fact that some accessories enter the factory late, but you can use overtime to rush back the time. The various conditions for overtime are in place, and the failure to complete the assembly plan for the month is entirely due to the organization of the branch. In this way, the main responsible unit for the failure of the task is the third branch factory, not the production department, nor the accessories supply branch.

Chen Jianping saw the opportunity quickly and immediately made sincere self-criticism to Tao Tang. But at the end of the self-criticism, he talked about cost and quality control, saying that the branch factory prefers to achieve balanced production, and everyone is unwilling to work overtime, which not only increases overtime wages, but also makes it difficult to control quality.

Generally speaking, working overtime will increase expenses, but Chen Jianping has the meaning of exculpating himself at the moment, so Ma Guangming glared at Chen Jianping fiercely.

Sure enough, Tao Tang's criticism came, "Director Chen, mistakes in work are common, not a big problem." However, deviation from the right path in the guiding ideology is a big problem. Having just analyzed the reasons for your failure to complete your plan, I think the responsibility lies primarily with you. Moreover, I think you are not convinced by this conclusion, which is why there are a lot of reasons for cost, quality and balanced production. We are engaged in enterprise management, and we must tighten the string of cost at all times, which is right. Does overtime increase working hours? Not necessarily. If you are convinced that the attachment is delaying the assembly, why not request a replacement? Branch 11 did just that, and I think it's reasonable. The attachment can't come, what is the point of the workers resting in the workshop? Well? Also, who said that overtime leads to a decrease in quality? Is there still time to run the quality system? Valid for eight hours and invalid after eight hours? In addition, don't talk about the old tune of balanced production, the market economy is like this, you will supply as much as the user wants, and you will supply when the user wants. The planned economy can talk about balanced production, but how can we talk about the market economy? The situation of the third branch factory reflects the problems of your team, and the problems of the team are mainly your problems! You have to review deeply, I will not allow similar mistakes to be made again. In particular, don't excuse your mistakes, because then you won't really correct them. Mr. Ma, this month's assessment of the directive tasks should pay attention to the three branches. ”

The deputy is like that, when he meets a shrewd main position, he immediately becomes short of breath. Therefore, when Tao Tang said to Ma Guangming that he would comment on and assess the completion of this month's production plan before the holiday, Ma Guangming immediately made self-criticism, apologized for failing to complete part of the production plan in April as planned, and said that he would make up for April's arrears in May.

Insist on running the grassroots during the day, some desk work can only be placed at night, fortunately, Tao Tang has no family drag, and he has to face an endless stream of visitors in Xiaozhao, which is worthy of being a company in the same system, he just arrived in Shengdong is like this, every day someone is looking for it, and what trivial things are also looking for, which makes him annoyed. Therefore, after his walk after dinner, he usually goes to the office for an hour or two to finish the daily papers, requests and reports, as well as the letters of complaint that began to increase, so as to free up time for the grassroots level during the day. The doorman of the office building has been much better after he has rectified it, and the office is much quieter.

On the evening of the 29th, Tao Tang came to the office at about a quarter past eight as usual and began to review documents and ask for instructions. He found a bad phenomenon, some problems that should have been solved by the department or the vice presidents were pushed into his own hands. For example, today I encountered two more, one is the overhead crane repair of the 5th branch, and Duan Hui, deputy director of the development and planning department, commented on the report of the branch: Please ask the planning department to check with the mobile department on the spot. This is no problem, of course, it needs to be verified by the professional department on site. Two days later, it was Duan Hui again: the situation is true, I plan to agree, and I ask Mr. Luo for instructions. Two days later, Luo Chong commented on the report, agreed, and asked Mr. Tao to read it.

In Tao Tang's view, there is a big problem in the process. The first is whether the overhead crane repair of the branch is included in the annual or quarterly plan? If it is included in the plan, why should it be in charge of the deputy general manager's instructions? The relevant departments just follow the plan. It seems that the overhead crane repair of the fifth branch plant is not included in the plan, so what is the reason? The crane is an important safety facility, and if there is a potential safety hazard, it must be repaired in time, and it is absolutely not allowed to be sloppy. And the characteristics of its use are generally not emergencies, how to have a problem, at the end of last year should be reported to the Ministry of Technical Safety, by the Ministry of Technical Safety review and summary after forwarding to the Ministry of Planning for inclusion in the annual overhaul plan, now is obviously not the case. The second is that the issuance and regulation department's request to Luo Chong is a bit redundant, this is a must be done, why should he be in charge of the leader's instructions? And Luo Chong's instructions are even more unreasonable to "read the instructions" by himself, if this kind of thing has to be managed by the general manager, don't do anything every day, just the word approval can exhaust him to death.

The second is the report of the Ministry of Human Resources on supplementing the entry of college students. Liu Xiuyun also signed an opinion similar to Luo Chong above, and he had to review it himself. What to certify? The principles have been explained to them, why do you want to push it to your side? This is probably the problem brought out by the two petitioners of the power company, from the good side, Liu Xiuyun is cautious, and from the bad side, it is to shirk responsibility and even make things difficult for himself.

Of course, these two things are not difficult enough, at least they are much simpler than the financial arrangement. But Tao Tang didn't think so......

With more than 20 years of work experience, Tao Tang's understanding of human nature is deeper than most people's. Don't maliciously guess a colleague, and don't trust a colleague in good faith. All problems should be based on the bad and the good......

Enterprises are relatively tightly organized economies. Its strictness is manifested in the fact that there are perfect rules and regulations and work processes. Large state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have this feature. If the process stipulates that these matters need to be reported to the general manager for approval, then the speculation of the deputy is unwarranted suspicion. But Tao Tang didn't believe that Red Star would make such a ridiculous workflow - a maintenance of equipment that is not important must be reported to the general manager for approval? He wanted to see the process, and he believed there must be a compilation of the process, even though it might be like scrap paper.

The lead management department for rules and regulations is the Ministry of Development and Planning. He thought of Lu Qi, and it seemed that Lu Qi was in charge of this...... Tao Tang found the internal address book and was about to make a call to Lu Qi to look at his watch, but it was already half past nine, so he dismissed his idea. Make a mark on the desk calendar to remind yourself that you will come to see the process tomorrow.

He began to read newspapers, "People's Daily", "G Province Daily", "Economic Daily", "Reference News", "China Sports News", "Brilliant Daily" and "Red Star Man", a total of seven copies, the first five were transferred to him by the factory office according to his request, he had been subscribed for several years, and he was used to it. The latter two are based on the system and are available in every office. Newspapers are one of his main channels for obtaining information, and everyone's reading methods and priorities are different, except for his favorite sports newspapers, for the other four major newspapers, Tao Tang generally only reads the headlines and reads carefully when he finds the content he cares about. Many leaders scoffed at the state-level newspapers, believing that the whole article was worthless nonsense, and Tao Tang's party secretary in Shengdong did not understand Tao Tang's insistence on reading the party newspaper. But Tao Tang will not tell his partner what he has learned, he can always find out what he needs from it and find the right direction of work. To be the main leader of a state-owned enterprise, you must have the quality of a politician, which is a bit of a big statement, but this is the real situation. It's not good to just pull a car without looking at the road, and it's even more nonsense to just look at the road without pulling a car. There are always people who pin their promotions on relationships, and that kind of person Tao Tang has always looked down on, and he doesn't think he will go far. What the leader needs is subordinates who can solve problems for him, just like Red Star now, Feng Shizhao must trust and support him, but if he can't bring Red Star out of the quagmire of ** and reverse the declining business situation, Feng Shizhao's trust will fade. On the contrary, even if he often does not go to see Feng Shizhao, Feng Shizhao will pay attention to him. Because the fate of Red Star is related to Feng Shizhao's future.

There was a knock on the office door, and "come in......" Tao Tang did not look up, but was still carefully reading an article on the adjustment of the industrial structure, which was published on the front page of the "G Province Daily" on April 28, and he believed that the main leaders of the province would definitely see it, and may even have reviewed and revised it himself.

The reason why he studied this article is because he found that the tone was different from what he was used to......

"Oh, what's a good article to read?"

"It's you......" The person who came turned out to be Lu Qi, wearing light gray casual clothes and sneakers under his feet, looking capable and neat.

Tao Tang put down the newspaper, "Hey, I wanted to call just now, but I'm afraid your husband will be unhappy." ”

This is a bit ambiguous.

"Looking for me?" Lu Qi suppressed the panic in her heart.

"Let's talk about you first, you have something to do with me?"

"No...... I came out for a walk and saw the lights on in your office, so I came up...... Didn't bother you, did you? ”

"No, no...... Have a seat. ”

Lu Qi didn't come up unintentionally when she saw Tao Tang in the office. She overheard that Tao Tang had to come to the office almost every night, and she came on purpose. Because Yan Shuzhen, the head of the trade union's female workers, happened to visit her home, she was delayed for half an hour, and she came a little late. But it was hard to suppress the aroused thoughts, so she came anyway. Fortunately, the opportunity is good, Tao Tang is here, and he is the only one.

"What about you, what are you looking for me?" Lu Qi looked at Tao Tang, who was a little tired, expectantly.

"Oh," Tao Tang's calm face disappointed Lu Qi, "That's the case, I want to see the company's workflow, right?" ”

"What did the leader find wrong? You ask, the process is all through my hands, and I should be able to explain it clearly. ”

"Yay. Do I need my approval to enter the factory? ”

"Yes. The human resources department proposes the plan, reports to the supervisor for review and approval, and finally reports to the general manager for approval. Lu Qi described the process and explained, "Personnel issues have always been the authority of the top leader, so such a provision has been made. ”

"Oh. What about equipment overhauls? I don't need to approve this, do I? ”

"No, the major repair plan at the beginning of the year is to go to the general manager's office meeting, and if it is included in the plan, the development and regulation department can arrange for implementation. If it is temporarily added in the middle of the year, it can be approved by the leader in charge. ”

"Understood."

"There is a special situation, that is, if the original value of the equipment is 30 million or more, it is necessary to go to the general manager's office meeting. There is only one such equipment factory, that is, the precision casting machine imported from Germany. ”

"The one at the Seventh Branch?"

"Yes. Any questions? ”

"There is no problem with the process. It's the actual problem. They always push trivial things to me. Tao Tang picked up the folder and shook it.

"Maybe be careful......

"Hopefully. But that doesn't work. I don't have enough energy......"

"I've been trying to tell you, I think you're too tired. Pay attention to your physical ......"

"Thank you. I'm okay, at least for now. ”

"By the way, I'd like to ask you about the thing you laid out. Liu Shulin handed it over to me, for fear that I would not understand the spirit of leadership. ”

"What's the matter? Oh, you mean the steel pipe factory of East Lake Machinery, right? ”

"yes."

"Drink something? I have imported Jamaican coffee here ......"

"If you don't drink it, you'll lose sleep."

"Well, let's have a cup of tea...... Let's talk about this steel pipe factory. ”
