Chapter 18 Unified Control
In the gloomy Kislev Bandhargarh Palace, Rhodes holds a heavy manuscript in his hand and reads the data and text on it. That's Alves and Chancellor of the Exchequer Toricika compiled the national budget for the last quarter.
Judging from this report, the development of Kislev is still very uneven, and the western coastal areas are still leading the country in terms of economic aggregate and growth rate. Especially in Errengrad and its surrounding towns, the economy is simply soaring. Benefiting from the policy of full openness, there were not a few imperial merchants who went to invest in Erlengrad.
At the same time, the city has been war-free for many years, which has attracted a large number of immigrants to settle there. The economy is 12 percent higher than the same period last year, and at this rate, the economy of the entire Erlengrad region will double in a few years.
However, little progress has been made in the area of Fort Blackhammer further north. Geographical factors determined that its development was far from keeping up with Erlengrad. Erlengrad has the finest deep-water port in Kislev, while Blackhammer's Winterspring Harbor can only accommodate Imperial Class 2 merchant ships at most, and even larger ships cannot dock. In addition, it is located in the northernmost part of the kingdom and has a cold climate, and the population of immigrants is far less than that of Errengrad.
However, Rhodes didn't plan to build Blackhammer into a megacity in the first place, and geography meant it couldn't become a megacity. The laws of history tell Rhodes that every great human city was built at the crossroads of trade roads, and that there must be a great river passing through it. Obviously, only Errengrad has these two points, and Blackhammer Fort does not have such conditions. It was true that it was built into the strongest fortress in the north.
Flipping through this thick "government work report", Rod couldn't help but focus on the last few pages, which were summary reports on the work of state-owned enterprises. When the vampire Tsar Pavel came to an end, many of the Kislev nobles who supported him had their homes confiscated, as well as those who had been killed in the civil strife, and their property confiscated.
With her own permission and guidance, her daughter, also Queen Dennis, pocketed these properties as state-owned assets and established the Kislev state-owned enterprise.
Now, after half a year of operation, many pros and cons are still apparent. According to the report, Rod immediately saw the problem - inefficiency.
Compared with the industries in the hands of the big aristocracy, the Kislev state-owned enterprises were more crowded, but the output was not as good as that of the aristocratic factories of the same size. The manor employed a lot of people, but the crops produced were not much different from those of other noble estates. Lack of competition is a very important factor.
To this end, it is urgent to speed up the formulation of the system.
"I plan to introduce a management system by objectives. ”
Sitting on the ivory chair, Rhodes pondered for a long time before slowly swallowing out a few words. Alves turned his head away and made a deferential gesture.
"To put it simply, we set a final goal for the year, and then we assign that goal to the responsible person in each district to implement it. To put it simply, we set a big goal, divide it into several small goals, and assign them. These small goals are then subdivided by each manager and assigned to each department, and after the department head gets the target task, he continues to subdivide the goal, assigns the task to each team, and the production team leader then assigns these tasks to each worker and each farmer. In this way, a complete set of target management systems can be formed, so that we can effectively control the overall situation. ”
Alves rolled his eyes and seemed to quickly grasp the meaning.
"What should I do if I can't reach my goal?"
"There will be a reward and punishment mechanism. Those who achieve the production goal will be rewarded. Failure to achieve the goal will result in punishment. You and Antonovich will discuss this reward and punishment mechanism, and draw up a draft for me to give instructions. ”
Rhodes went on to say –
"Also, I just talked about management by objectives. What matters is the setting of goals. We can't set our goals so high that everyone can't achieve them, which will only cause complaints from below. However, it should not be set too low. Otherwise, the task will be easily completed, and the people below will fall into a state of laziness and laziness. ”
"The setting of targets must refer to the data of the same period last year. You can float up slightly, but not too much. In addition, each industry is different. The growth rate of the steelmaking industry is good, and it cannot be formulated too low. However, shipbuilding and forestry tend to stabilize and grow slowly, so we cannot set too high targets. These need to be subdivided. You come up with a plan as soon as possible. Send one to me and one to Dennis. ”
Rod said, and Alves carefully recorded the whole process. I thought that Rhodes would be able to take a break after he completely took power, but now it seems that the real challenge has just begun. The Great Lord had so much on his head that he could even think of a road of steel, and according to Rhodes, in the future, the territory of Kislev would be paved with railroad tracks, and a means of transport called a train would travel through the towns and cities of Kislev. Huge quantities of materials and personnel were quickly transported to all parts of the country.
Alves can't imagine that, but the prototype of the train can depict one or two. Thanks to Rhodes' hand-drawn artwork, these steel monsters on land have been sent to the engineering department for development. It's just that, with current productivity, it's almost impossible to achieve.
"The situation is different in each region and needs to be treated differently. In addition, the element of chance must be taken into account. Those events that occur unexpectedly cannot be used as a reference for the target data. ”
Rod said, picking up a quill and drawing a draft on the parchment.
Alves leaned over and saw a triangular frame diagram. The quill pen moved back and forth in Rod's hand, moving rapidly, and the pattern became clearer.
"Organizational chart. ”
Rhodes said—
"Annual plan, quarterly plan, monthly plan...... Next to it corresponds to the total amount of production that must be completed by each department. You follow this framework to make a plan and draw up specific numbers. ”
Rod said yes and moved the drawings to Alves.
Alves took the drawing and gave it a quick glance. Suddenly, a bold idea came to mind. If this approach is successful, it seems that urban management and others can plan in the same way. Slice a large piece of cake into countless smaller ones and get everyone involved in accomplishing the goal together. This approach seems to be the most effective way to improve efficiency in a short period of time.
Just as the two of them were talking about the many advantages of the new system with great interest, the hurried footsteps of the guards sounded outside the door.
