Zhu Cijiong has not studied management, he has only seen how people manage in various workshops, so he does not have a systematic understanding of management, he can only trace the memory of his previous life, and think of where to say, but this is already a rare advanced management concept for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of this material number, he remembered the production plan he saw in the workshop in his previous life, so he immediately said: "With the material number, you can clearly know how many materials a battleship needs, if the materials are prepared in advance, there will be no shutdown, I have carefully looked at the shipyard today, the progress of each dock is different, and the assembly in some places has been stalled there for several days, because some materials are missing, this is the so-called shutdown and waiting for materials, Is this downtime another waste of time? If you can compile a production plan based on the material number, then this downtime will not happen again. “

Writing this, Bi Maokang suddenly paused, and he couldn't help but ask: "Production plan? “

What does this production mean by him, and what does the plan mean?

Zhu Cijiong heard his question, and then explained: "This production plan is a kind of measurement and planning for production in the future, simply put, how much work will be done in the next year or month, and how to arrange people to complete these jobs, for example, I require the production of 200 super battleships next year, so excluding the time for final assembly and testing on the water, at least 20 semi-finished products will be launched in a month, how to ensure that 20 semi-finished products can be launched in a month?" How many people are needed for each process, how long to do, these can be measured, here can be calculated in working hours, for example, it takes ten days for a hundred people to nail a deck, and the working hours of a day are five hours, so the total number of working hours is 5,000, if two hundred people are arranged, is it five days to complete? Of course, I'm just a simple example, but if you quantify everything into man-hours, you will know how many people it takes to complete the work in the prescribed time. “

Speaking of this, Zhu Cijiong felt that his thoughts were a little confused, he stopped, took a sip of tea, thought about it carefully, and finally thought of a typical example, so he went on to explain: "Of course, just counting the working hours cannot compile a reasonable production plan, and the work must be arranged one by one in a certain order, this is the so-called process, I will give you a simple example." For example, it takes one hour for a person to carry a sapling up the mountain, ten saplings are ten man-hours, it takes two hours for a person to dig a big pit for planting trees, and ten pits are twenty man-hours in total, and then it takes half an hour for a person to fill the soil of a pit, and ten pits are five man-hours in total, and then it takes one hour for a person to carry a bucket of water up from the bottom of the mountain to water the saplings, and ten saplings are ten man-hours in total, so that the total is forty-five man-hours, if the plan is goodTwenty people can finish the work in half a day, and if the plan is not good or not planned, twenty people may not be able to finish the work in one day. “

Zhu Cijiong stopped to take a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "The so-called plan is good, that is, all twenty people rushed to the foot of the mountain on time, and the required hoes, buckets, and saplings have all been prepared, so ten people first carry the hoe up the mountain to dig the pit, and the other ten people carry the saplings on their backs, slowly go up the mountain, an hour later, the pit is half dug up, and the saplings are also up the mountain, at this time the saplings are carried down the mountain to carry water, then after another hour, the pit is dug, the saplings are put in and start to fill the soil, and the water is about to come up, Half an hour later, the pit was filled with water and the water came, and after watering, it was time to call it a day. What happens if the plan is not good? For example, twenty people ran down the mountain to see, there were no hoes, no saplings, no buckets, so they went to find the steward, the hoe was found, half a day passed, ten people dug the pit first, two hours later the pit was dug, the saplings have not been bought, they can't fill the pit and leave, is this day so wasted? The next day, ten other people carried the saplings on their backs, and they put the saplings in the pit and went to carry water. “

This is a relatively interesting little example, everyone thought about the embarrassed expressions of the people who were waiting to fill the pit and waiting for watering showed a faint smile, Zhu Cijiong was also smiling, but what he said next was not funny at all, he continued: "It's a little funny, isn't it, in fact, Dongda Construction Shipyard has done a lot of ridiculous things, such as keel frame, which needs to be made of pine wood from Liaodong, I took a look at the first batch of keel frame wood in storage at the end of February, and the first batch of keel frame wood was brought out in mid-March. I know that it takes about a month to place an order from the shipyard, start cutting trees and trees in Liaodong, and then find a ship to transport it, and then it takes about ten days to process it into a wooden square, and then it takes about ten days to dry the wooden square before it can be used, that is to say, the shipyard placed an order on the sixteenth day of the first month, and it took almost two months to officially start nailing the keel frame, and without the keel frame, nothing else can be done, so in these two months, most of the craftsmen in the shipyard are not the same as the ten people who are waiting to fill the pit and waiting for watering, at a loss, sitting there and waiting? “

At this time, Bi Maokang and the others couldn't laugh, but sat there with a ashamed face, not knowing what to do.

Zhu Cijiong didn't want to criticize them, so he immediately comforted: "Shu doesn't want to blame you, just wants you to know the importance of the plan, you think, the hundred battleships last year can't have been completed in the Chinese New Year's Eve, Shu knows that they have finished a month in advance, just waiting to pull out the waterway and officially go to the sea." If there is a plan, they should place an order with Liaodong in October, and by the beginning of November, when all the warships have been completed, they can easily process all the keel wood squares that will be used in the coming year, and enlarge the open top to dry, so that they can immediately pick up the materials and start work on the sixteenth day of the first month of the next year, without delaying a day, so it is said that there must be a plan to do things, do you say that this is the truth? “

When Bi Maokang heard this, he sincerely admired: "The emperor is wise, and Weichen will ask them to number the materials tomorrow, count the working hours, arrange the process, and strive to compile the production plan as soon as possible." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded and said: "Well, if you can do these things well, the output of Dongda Construction Shipyard can be increased by at least fifty percent, but to reach an annual output of two hundred super battleships, it is still a little short, and other methods must be used to increase production, I will give you a few more examples." “

Everyone was already amazed by what Zhu Cijiong said earlier, and there was a way to increase production, this emperor was really superb!
