Wang Shouren eventually got busy.
He didn't stay at the steel rolling mill for more than a few days before being sent to the agricultural machinery factory to provide guidance.
Agricultural machinery factories, as the name suggests, manufacture machinery used in agriculture.
This time, no one brought him along. However, there were still quite a few people who came to greet him.
The factory director of the agricultural machinery factory, surnamed Chang, greeted Wang Shouren with a strong Shandong accent, treating him like a close nephew. He was so excited he almost cried: "Oh, Technician Wang, you've finally arrived! You really have to help us figure out how this management system works. Following the plan from above, not only is our output not increasing, it's actually decreasing! This is driving me crazy!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Shouren frowned slightly and observed the situation for a moment.
Good heavens, at least half of the people in this group have a hint of anger in their eyes.
He said calmly, "Then let's go take a look."
"Yes, yes, let's go take a look first."
In some ways, the interior of an agricultural machinery factory is not much different from that of a machine factory.
The overall process is roughly the same.
"Wait a minute." Wang Shouren suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Director Chang asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Director Chang, there's no need for so many of us to go. I won't be able to see the normal situation anyway. How about this, could you send one person with me? Any workshop will do. What do you think?"
Factory Director Chang slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing, "Yes, yes, with so many people, it's really hard to tell anything. Everyone, go, go." He introduced Wang Shouren, "This is Wu Hongda, the head of our factory's technical department. Director Wu, you two can talk. Everyone else, go do what you need to do."
To be fair, leaders in this era are quite efficient.
In an instant, they all disappeared.
Only Director Chang and Section Chief Wu remained.
With a cold face, Director Wu asked Wang Shouren, "Technician Wang, where are we going to look?"
Wang Shouren didn't care about his expression. He simply said, "Let's go to the workshop and take a look," and then stopped talking to him.
Prejudice between people is like a mountain.
After Wang Shouren arrived here, he actually knew the problem.
A month ago, the ministry organized a study session to have everyone learn about Wang Shouren's management system. It was also clearly stipulated that if production could not be increased, the ministry would hold them accountable.
He only glanced around the workshop a few times before identifying the problem.
Goodness, these guys are really bad.
He glanced at Director Wu, who was standing beside him, with a puzzled look and asked, "Director Wu, is this all the personnel your factory sent to our department for training learned?"
The person who managed to rise to the position of director of the technical department wasn't stupid; he immediately understood the meaning behind Wang Shouren's words.
Originally, he thought the ministry was just messing around. How could anyone make something like this that could nearly double production? Wasn't this just fooling people, repeating what happened a few years ago? So, after discussing it with the factory director, he figured it wouldn't work, but since the ministry had given the order, they had to send someone from the ministry to take a look.
After your people came to inspect the site, they still couldn't increase production. You can't exactly say it's my problem, can you?
But Wang Shouren's words after he arrived made Wu Hongda realize that there might still be some problems involved.
"What did the people you sent out tell you about the five-star management system?" Wang Shouren asked.
"When you come back, tell them to focus on hygiene. If hygiene is good, the workers will be in a better mood!" Wu Hongda's face softened, and he spoke up.
Goodness...
Wang Shouren's lips twitched.
In later generations, many factories promoted the 5S management system in the same way, focusing only on cleanliness. In reality, they had no idea what true 5S really was.
They only know about cleaning—organizing, tidying up, sweeping, sanitation, and improving manners.
This has led many people to scoff at the so-called 5S.
Seeing Wang Shouren's expression, Wu Hongda understood his thoughts even more clearly: "Is there a problem?"
"Let me explain it to you in detail," Wang Shouren said with a hint of helplessness.
"The so-called five-star management system, with cleanliness listed as the fourth item, is based on the principles of sorting, tidying, sweeping, cleaning, and improving personal conduct."
“Tell me more about it,” Wu Hongda said.
"Organization refers to organizing the entire production line. For example, when you assemble a tractor, how many steps are involved, how many workstations are there, and how long does it take? Conduct a detailed investigation of these things and put them into practice." Wang Shouren paused, took out a report from his bag, and said, "This one was specially approved by the ministry. Consider it a sample. Please take a look."
Wu Hongda took it, took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, and put them on.
Take a look.
Wow, this is amazing! He had never seen such a clear report before, showing exactly what to do and how to perform tasks at each workstation. He was completely captivated by it.
As a technician, he could even simulate the production line in his mind.
Only now did he understand what it meant to be a big shot.
If you gave him this thing, he could plan out a complete production line right away. In the past, while it was possible, it would have been much more complicated.
These days, most production line planning is done in advance, and then as things get messy, more workstations are added, relying almost entirely on intuition. This is why Wang Shouren's approach was practically revolutionary.
Wang Shouren didn't disturb them; he silently watched from inside the workshop.
This workshop is similar to the old steel rolling mill. They call it "clean," but it's really just piling up the garbage where you can't see it. It's exactly like what he did in his past life to pass inspections. In reality, the entire production line remains exactly the same.
After Wu Hongda finished reading, Wang Shouren basically had a good idea of what was going on.
After reading it, Wu Hongda immediately put on a smiling face: "Technician Wang, come on, come on, come to my office. I have a lot of good stuff there. So, don't leave tonight, it's my treat."
"That won't do. I have to go back tonight; my wife is pregnant. We're both in the tech field, so let's just talk things out and not beat around the bush," Wang Shouren refused directly.
"Okay! That's how it should be done. I'd like to ask, what exactly does this rectification entail?"
