Chapter 149: Standardization
The arrival of the workers, especially the German-trained skilled workers, was a shock to Baotou, and these people lived in Baotou, living in the rooms arranged by Liu Shu, which was relatively concentrated, and did not go to the downtown area of Baotou, but on this side close to the future industrial park.
So many blonde and blue-eyed foreigners have caused a sensation, Baotou is a city with a stuffy nose, and compradors from foreign banks come from time to time, and occasionally foreigners come, but there are so many, so concentrated, it is the first time.
After a long time, the Baotou people have dispersed their interest, it doesn't matter, foreigners are here to work, that is, one nose and two eyes, these workers, in Germany, even on the ocean passenger ship, have received preliminary training, can not be said to be Chinese into the stream, but can carry out simple communication, and Yang Yuanzhao carefully selected, some skilled workers, and some young workers, also joined, the entire soap factory personnel reached 500 people, it seems to be incongruous, run-in with each other, It is far from perfect, but it can basically ensure the operation of a soap factory with an annual output of 3,000 tons, and the total output can reach about 2,500 tons.
From the next day, the workers were put into the construction of the factory, the plant was ready, the machine was in place, and a complete factory to start production was completely different things, and there were many machines that needed to be adjusted and debugged.
Farrick was temporarily appointed as the head of the factory, he would work with York, Jerry, and some other technicians to adjust the layout of the entire factory, design a suitable production plan, all kinds of raw materials, and hand over to Yang Yuanzhao, a large amount of salt, water, and animal fat, all began to be stacked in the warehouse, among them, the most important thing is the guarantee of electricity.
Electrolysis of salt water, the most important thing, is this electricity, in this world, electricity is in the ascendant, based on electricity, just has a sprout, electrolysis is only the most basic, electricity for the power of the motor has not been greatly developed, many machines and household goods have not yet appeared, this electrolysis, as long as the electricity is guaranteed.
To this end, Yang Yuanzhao specially made a generator for the industrial zone, five 800 kilowatt generators, connected in parallel, to form a small power plant with a daily power generation capacity of about 4000 degrees, which can not only ensure the normal operation of the electrolytic cell, but also provide a lighting line for the industrial park, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
The electricity is in place, the raw materials are in place, and under the manipulation of skilled workers, these machines, which have been left for months, are finally running again in a foreign land, and the peculiar smell of chemical factories begins to converge in this plant, but with the German workers, it is a familiar and exciting taste, and they finally have a job.
It seems to work smoothly, but after the start, it is obvious that the whole production line has stopped dozens of times in one morning, and as for the machine that has been temporarily stopped, there are even more.
The reason why it has been stopped so many times is not because of unskill, but because of the 140 German workers, more than eighty percent of them are from chemical plants, and a large part of them, even directly from soap factories, or workers in related industries, operate these machines without any problem, and the reason for listening so many times is also because of these newly recruited workers.
The rigor of German workers is undoubtedly shown here, every step, every process, there are strict requirements, a certain process dù is a little rigid and harsh, which makes Chinese workers, some are not used to it, especially some in the chemical plant, they naturally have their own set of standards, there is a certain rebound, fortunately here is Baotou, these workers' food and clothing parents are Baoken company, Liu Shu after getting the news, quickly reported to Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao knew, after thinking twice, It was decided to follow the facts of the Germans, and with the support of Yang Yuanzhao, the other shareholders were very dissatisfied, and this system was also implemented and became the unified standard for new chemical plants.
At the beginning, it was still stumbling, when everyone was familiar with the process, scientific management and rigid procedures, in industrial production, extremely dazzling, no, only a week or so, the caustic soda plant has begun to take shape, not only the workers got started faster, the output is also rising again and again, and the yield rate was charged with a considerable amount of time.
The chemical plant's shun lì was put into use, after the first day, the caustic soda was produced in batches, and then the process of producing soap was even more logical, if it was not a soap mold, it would take time to make soap, they could even directly produce soap, a few days later, with the joint efforts of York and several technicians, it was named Baojie's soap mold, and finally completed the production of soap, put the soap into the mold, directly forged and formed, and the soap was rolled off the production line.
When the news came out, Baotou was in an uproar, the arrival of these foreigners, as well as this Baojie soap factory, everyone knows that imported machinery costs a lot of money, and even these workers are here for this, which is nothing, but a complex chemical factory, so easy to put into production, how long has it been.
Li Mingsheng heard what happened here, came to inspect it, every step was asked very carefully, as a senior master, and did a few months of management, the current cement plant, basically he alone has the final say, the two experiences combined, gave Li Mingsheng a different perception, a little thought, I can see the benefits of doing this, obviously, scientific management, can avoid the impact of arbitrariness and human error, reduce these to a minimum, This is also an important guarantee of yield and output, and it is also the foundation for Baojie factory to quickly form production capacity and increase production capacity.
Li Mingsheng felt that it should be possible to combine it with Bao Jie to set the industrial standard of the cement factory, Yang Yuanzhao thought about it for a while and sent York out. York's work is very miscellaneous, not only car enthusiasts, but also used to work in the cement factory, when he was in the cement factory, just an ordinary technician, has not become an engineer, engaged in the basic peripheral work, a certain amount of work, for the cement plant rules and regulations are also understood, Li Mingsheng and York, the rules and regulations of the cement plant began to be formulated again, both of them are very familiar with the industry, almost no effort was spent, to complete the basic adjustment of the cement plant.
Several simple rules and regulations, operating procedures, under the vigorous promotion of Li Mingsheng, strictly implemented, and finally, after a short period of twists and turns, it burst out of a very high effect, the yield rate within a week, increased by 12, and the output also increased, almost increased by 15, from 7200 barrels per day, to 9100 barrels in one fell swoop, almost reaching the limit of the cement plant's production, with an average output of more than 3000 per calciner. It's almost extinction how many failed yields. This alone reduces the cost of the entire cement production by at least more than two percent, which also represents a huge improvement in efficiency.
Li Mingsheng really felt this effect, and began to realize that sometimes, the strict system is not necessarily impersonal, for example, for example, the cleaning of the cement furnace, it looks inconspicuous, sometimes, it may be cleaned up two or three times, at least on the surface, the slag can not be seen, but the German side is stipulated 5 times, when the change has just begun, the person in charge of this work, some of them complain, obviously two times can complete things, why five times, isn't this a toss, But as a manager, Li Mingsheng, I don't know what the benefits are in doing this, but I can see the benefits from the actual effect, in the past cement refining, the problems that often appeared, now there is no longer zài, responsible for observing the cement furnace, can be more clear, the previous impact and trouble, will not appear, now Li Mingsheng's disciples, the most skilled, almost able to do 9 percent, but after such improvement, can do 9 into 5, and there is the situation in the furnace, The efficiency of the cement plant has been significantly improved.
Only then did Li Mingsheng know that he thought that in the cement industry, after decades, he knew a lot about all fields of cement, but in a sense, he was still a layman.
It also started from the caustic soda factory, standardization and systematization, seems to be rooted in the industry of Baotou, first of all, the cement factory, and then, even the brick factory and flour mill, have also carried out this standardization and systematic reform, although it is only at the workshop level, but all aspects are very strict, which more or less have improved the output and quality of Baotou products, in a certain way, for the take-off of Baotou, laid a good foundation.
The soap factory has completed the process of trial production, and is currently in the intensive debugging of the first batch of completed soap, which has flowed into the market through the channels of Guò Yang and Weijia, the quality is good, and the price is low, only two-thirds of the price of Yangnizi Bao Jie soap, suddenly occupied a part of the market in Shanxi Mongolia, Henan and Shaanxi, almost in short supply, good cash feedback, as well as cement, bricks, flour soap, Baotou's products began to be enriched, and also attracted some of the nimble businessmen, They began to test the waters of the Baotou side of the trade route, some to Baotou to sell leather goods or other products, began to try, to bring back a part of the Baotou goods, so that Baotou's goods, imperceptibly, began to get farther and farther away, the formation of the word of mouth also spread among the people.
