Chapter 3: Two Two Hundred and Five

Although Lao Wu is only a workshop technician, he is a college graduate in the late sixties and is still familiar with the general process of technology development. Whether in factories, scientific research institutes, or colleges and universities, the first step to innovate or transform a process technology needs to do a small test in the laboratory, and after success, then do a scale-up test, and finally verify the technology in industrial-scale equipment, so he wanted to push this matter to the factory leaders to make a decision at the beginning.

The workshop director proposed to do the test directly on the industrial equipment, indicating that Lao Yang did not understand the technology development process at all, because Lao Yang only had a technical school graduate, and it was understandable to make such an ignorant decision, what Lao Wu did not expect was that when Lao Yang explained the task, Fang Hanmin, a fool, happily agreed, he thought that these two guys were exactly five hundred divided by two, and both were two hundred and five!

Lao Yang wants to solve the technical problems in the workshop as soon as possible, and he rushes to the doctor in a hurry, which is understandable, but what do you Fang Hanmin want to do? You're a temporary worker, and you don't pee on yourself! Do you want to turn positive and rush to show yourself, or do you want to be famous and want to go crazy? Okay, let the two of you toss it, and see how you end up then!

Where did Fang Hanmin know what Lao Wu was thinking! However, through the conversation a few days ago, Fang Hanmin thought that Lao Wu knew nothing about the new technical solution at most, and couldn't make any suggestions at all, in order to show respect for him, he let him look at it, Lao Wu was the technical director of the second workshop after all, Fang Hanmin didn't want to let him misunderstand because of this matter.

However, even for a temporary worker, Lao Wu's words and deeds are very rude, not to mention that he is just a workshop technician, whether it is his technical title or administrative position, it is a low-level level, even if it is a leader with a higher rank, he should not be so rude to a subordinate who is humble and respectful.

After Lao Wu left, Fang Hanmin froze in place and was slightly embarrassed, Lao Yang stood up and walked over, patting him on the shoulder, "Don't take this seriously, put your mind on work, go back and hurry up and report the raw materials and employment plan." ”

The "acylation" reaction is only one of the several technical links in the production of "acetaminophen", and Fang Hanmin in his previous life knew all the technical aspects of this API well, because before graduating from 985 University, he not only practiced for more than three months in the "acetaminophen" production line of a large pharmaceutical company in China, but also his graduation thesis was "Comparison of the Technical Route of Acetaminophen and Discussion of New Processes".

The upcoming test was very familiar to Fang Hanmin, who only spent one day not only proposing the equipment, raw materials and personnel required for the test, but also writing out the test operation methods and process control points.

The technical details related to the test can not be reported to Lao Yang, but the raw materials, equipment and personnel needed to be coordinated by him, Fang Hanmin reported these three plans to Lao Yang, he looked at it carefully, pointed to one of the plans and said: "Didn't I already tell you what kind of personnel are needed, you can choose in the whole workshop, don't you need to say hello to me?" ”

"Director, everything else is easy to say, but the deployment of personnel is not so simple."

"Why, are you asking for someone from a team, and they won't give it to you?"

"Not really, because I haven't asked for anyone from any team, and I'm not going to do that."

"Why? Didn't you take full responsibility for this trial? ”

"I'm a temporary worker, and everyone has a contemptuous and suspicious attitude towards me, what qualifications do I have to transfer people from the workshop team?"

Lao Yang thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, I thought things simple, I should greet the relevant team first." However---, I see that you have Jiao Tiehui on this list for the 'acylation' position, this guy is a famous thorn in the whole workshop! Squad Elder Zhao has nothing to do with him, so he is transferred to conduct experiments, can you control him?"

"I'm in a team with Jiao Tiehui, although he doesn't have a good temper, the plate hair on his head is like a hedgehog, see who pierces whom, but I know this person better, I think his essence is not bad, he has a sense of justice, he dares to act in trouble, and has a sense of responsibility, as long as he is relatively fair, he never cheats and cheats at work." It seems that there is a lack of communication with colleagues in the team, but in fact, Fang Hanmin sees the people around him clearly.

This evaluation of people made Lao Yang a little surprised, he didn't expect that this nerd nicknamed Xiucai was still a caring person!

According to the plan proposed by Fang Hanmin, Lao Yang first implemented the equipment required for the test, and then asked the material preparer in the second workshop to prepare raw materials according to the number of varieties needed.

According to the requirements of the process technology, Fang Hanmin decided to divide the test into two shifts of operation, three people in each shift, and six employees need to be transferred, and he intends to need personnel from his "acylation" post, because he feels that the employees in this post are familiar with the basic operation of the "acylation" reaction after all.

When Lao Yang explained the situation to Master Zhao, the squad leader of the "acylation" post, Lao Zhao immediately became anxious, "Director, we have only about 30 employees in the 'acylation' position, and you can transfer six people at once, can we still carry out our normal three shifts?" ”

"You don't have enough manpower, I can transfer a few people from other positions for you."

"Employees in other positions are not familiar with the process of this post, even if they are transferred, they can't be on the post for three or five days, you might as well assign the people transferred from other positions directly to Fang Hanmin, don't draw people from our posts, anyway, Fang Hanmin is also doing experiments, and he is not engaged in production, and there are no hard indicators to complete." It is related to the interests of the team, and Lao Zhao, who is loyal and kind, will not give in.

"Well---, I'll discuss it with Xiao Fang."

It is precisely because of the test that experienced operators are needed, so when Lao Yang conveyed Master Zhao's opinion, Fang Hanmin resolutely disagreed with Lao Zhao's statement, "Director, Master Zhao should have a little overall concept, this test is to improve the process technology of the 'acylation' post, and he, as the person in charge of this post, should support the test work." In order to succeed in the experiment, the quality of the operator is very important, and the production position is just a repetitive work, and the newcomer can gradually adapt to it. ”

Lao Yang felt that in order to ensure the success of the experiment, it was worth slowing down the production progress, so he came to the "acylation" post again to explain this truth to Lao Zhao.

Facing his immediate boss, Lao Zhao had no choice but to make concessions after weighing it.

When the personnel arrived, Fang Hanmin held a meeting with them, explained the simple tasks, and then handed a sketch to Jiao Tiehui and asked him to lead the team to adjust the pipeline of the designated equipment according to the sketch.

Taking the sketch, Jiao Tiehui frowned, "Xiucai, it's not that you don't know, just a few of us have this level of education, how can we understand the drawings!" You might as well go to the scene and tell us directly how to change the pipeline, and just give us a comparison. ”

Fang Hanmin knew that although these guys had a low level of education, they were all good at doing their work, "Okay, let's go to the workshop, and I'll tell you how to change the pipeline." However, I would like to remind you that you are not allowed to call me by my nickname to your face in the future. ”

"In our eyes, you are Xiucai, we think this nickname is an honorific title for you, you are younger than us, and your superiors have not determined any title for you, what do you let us call you?"

"I have a name and a surname, isn't it good to call him by his first name?"

"This ......"

Under the personal guidance of Fang Hanmin, Jiao Tiehui and others spent two days to complete the pipeline modification of the designated equipment as required.

Everything was ready, at half past eight in the morning of the next day, Fang Hanmin commanded Jiao Tiehui and others to start the feeding test, and the workers followed the operating procedures, after 14 hours of careful operation, and ended the 'acylation' reaction at half past ten in the evening.

The next process is to separate and purify the "acylation" product, and a complete process is already the morning of the third day.

Fang Hanmin didn't take a break, and arranged the workshop laboratory to conduct quality testing on the "acylation" products, while evaluating the test results.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, the quality inspection report sent by the laboratory technician showed that the purity of the "acylated" product reached 98%, which was completely consistent with Fang Hanmin's expectations!

"How many tests have you done, how reproducible are the results?" Fang Hanmin was afraid that the result would be inaccurate, so he would make himself happy.

"Xiucai, you can rest assured, we have done three tests, and the average error is no more than 0.2%, which fully meets the testing standards." The laboratory technician is an eldest sister in her thirties, and she seems to be very steady in her speech and work.

Fang Hanmin said confidently: "Well, I guess there is no problem." ”

Although the purity of the "acylation" product has been greatly improved, after analyzing and evaluating the test results, Fang Hanmin found that the product yield of the "acylation" reaction did not meet expectations, what is the reason?

One test may not explain anything, and Fang Hanmin then arranged a second test, and the result was almost no different from the first test, which forced him to pause for a moment to find out the reason.

A careful review of the operating process and process conditions found nothing suspicious, what is the problem? Fang Hanmin sat at his desk, looking aimlessly at the various materials placed on the table, and his eyes suddenly fell on the list of raw materials received and consumed.

Picking up a list of more than a dozen bills stapled together with a paper clip, Fang Hanmin flipped through it at random, and when he flipped through the picking list of acetic acid, he found that the item specification column was filled with the words "98%", it turned out that the reaction medium used in the test process was 98% hydrous acetic acid, not glacial acetic acid as he requested!

"Maybe here's why!" Fang Hanmin muttered to himself, got up and walked out.

Entering the workshop office, without waiting for Fang Hanmin to speak, Lao Yang asked with concern: "Hanmin, the test is going well, right?" "For some reason, Lao Yang changed the name of the other party's Hanmin.

"Director, I was about to report this to you."

"Okay, sit down and tell me about the test." Because it was decided in advance that Fang Hanmin was fully responsible for the test and was not interfered with by the outside world, Lao Yang neither went to the test site, nor did he take the initiative to inquire about the test results, in fact, he always paid attention to the progress of the test.

Fang Hanmin briefly introduced the test, "Overall, the test went smoothly, and the purity of the 'acylation' product reached 98% in the first test. ”

Lao Yang couldn't help but interject: "In my impression, the product content of the 'acylation' position in the workshop is generally only about 95%, and it has increased by 3% all of a sudden, and the result is very good!" ”

"The purity is improving, but the yield is not as expected."

"Oh---, that means the experiment is only half the battle?" The joy that was still on Lao Yang's face just now instantly faded a lot.

"So to speak, but we've found the reason for the yield."

"Really? It's easy to find the cause. Alas, what causes the yield to be less than expected? Lao Yang asked eagerly.

"According to the process requirements, glacial acetic acid should be used as the reaction medium, but the test used acetic acid with only 98% content, which I think is the root cause of the failure to improve the yield." After speaking, Fang Hanmin presented a picking list in front of Lao Yang.

Looking at the numbers on the documents, Lao Yang's expression became serious, "So, the problem is with the workshop preparer, the raw materials they prepared for the test do not meet the requirements?" ”

Lao Yang has a short temper, if it is really the responsibility of the preparer, he will definitely scold them, and even give them a punishment.

Fang Hanmin believes that this test has made the workshop technician Lao Wu estranged from him, and if the workshop preparer makes enemies with him because of the matter of raw materials, he will not be worth it as a temporary worker! So he quickly took the responsibility on himself, "I can't blame the material preparer for this, maybe I didn't make the requirements clear when I proposed the raw material plan." ”

Lao Yang is a very principled person, he said angrily: "You don't have to take responsibility for them, I know better than you the sense of responsibility of those people's work, they are all arranged to this kind of relaxed position by their relationships and backgrounds, if it weren't for the loss of face, I would have replaced them a long time ago!" ”
