Production equipment and management concepts must keep up.
Ji Xia talked to him about the concept of lean production. This set of concepts later put the small-scale enterprise on the fast track, and the whole world was learning from their lean production.
At this time, Ji Xia simply gave some instructions based on the actual situation of the factory, but it was enough for them.
Zeng Guanghua was a connoisseur and felt he had stumbled upon a treasure. He instructed Cao Guozhong, "Go tell the canteen to cook a few dishes. Ji Gong will be there for dinner soon."
Then, he said to Ji Xia, "Engineer Ji, this isn't something you can finish in a few words. Let's go. It's getting late. You've been busy for our factory all afternoon. Eat dinner first and then go back."
Ji Xia looked at Ji Jianguo, who waved his hand and said, "Secretary Zeng invites you, go quickly and respect your leaders!"
Who is Zeng Guanghua? He smiled and said, "Jianguo, you should go too. You have raised a good daughter, and you are also a great contributor!"
This is really enviable. Everyone in the factory envies Ji Jianguo.
Chu Hongying reminded him, "Secretary, I heard that Ji Jianguo is actually the son of a capitalist, not the son of a poor and lower-middle peasant. He's about to be labeled a bad element. He has ideological problems and can't stay in our factory. I suggest we expel him as soon as possible. Maybe he deliberately broke the lathe and had his daughter fix it. He was setting us up!"
Chu Hongying was worried that she had no evidence to hold against Ji Jianguo when she heard the news from the Seventh Production Team, but she ended up getting the better of him.
And this is exactly what Ji Xia is worried about.
Anyone who has any connection with feudalism, capitalism, and revisionism will have no good life. The Red Guards will not stop until they are fought to death.
The Little Red Guards are the committee's sharp weapon.
How could Chu Hongying let go of such a good opportunity?
Ji Xia sneered, "Who are you? Can you be more honest? Did my dad break the lathe on purpose? Before yesterday, my dad thought he was a farmer born and raised in the Honghe Brigade. Even if he's a bad element, he served in the army for eight years and then worked here for more than ten years. Don't the leaders of the army and the factory have your sharp eyes? Are you the only one with such vision, like an infrared radar, that you can tell if someone has a problem at a glance?"
"Comrade Ji, stop being unreasonable. Your father's class background is questionable, and I didn't say that." Chu Hongying raised her chin. "It's because you are the descendants of bad elements. Your father has problems, so your thoughts must have been polluted as well. You need to be reformed!"
Ji Xia laughed in anger. "The Qing Dynasty has been gone for ages, are you planning a restoration? How come you wrote the constitution? Which article or clause clearly stipulates that the entire clan should be punished?"
Chu Hongying shuddered with fear. "I didn't say that. Don't label me that. I'm a poor and lower-middle peasant. I won't talk to a capitalist son of a bitch like you!"
"Then get out!" Ji Xia said.
Chu Hongying complained to Zeng Guanghua, "Secretary, look at Comrade Ji Xia. I try to talk to her nicely, but she just keeps throwing tantrums and refuses to accept any advice!"
Zeng Guanghua was also very annoyed with Chu Hongying. "Let's not talk about this today. Comrade Ji Jianguo's status hasn't been determined yet. Let's talk about it after it's determined!"
The group went to the cafeteria and went up to the second floor, where there was a private room. After they sat down, Zeng Guanghua said, "Comrade Xiao Ji, our factory conditions are not very good, so let's have a simple meal here today. We will discuss your plan to modify our lathe today!"
It would be great if Ji Xia could help renovate all the lathes, so that they can contribute more to socialism.
The current level of productivity is really too low. The tasks assigned by superiors are very tight and often cannot be completed.
Ji Xia saw what Zeng Guanghua was thinking. "That's all easy to say! Secretary, even if you ask me to help bring the maintenance personnel from your factory out, I have no objection. I can even help you get a more advanced lathe that can do turning, milling, planing and grinding all in one."
Chen Zenggang was stunned for a long time. "What? Turning, milling, planing and grinding all in one? There's also this thing?"
"Of course there is!" Ji Xia said, "This type of equipment is called a CNC machining center. The machine I modified today uses input commands, and the lathe performs machining step by step according to the instructions. The principle is simple. If we give the machining center an instruction to automatically change tools, wouldn't that be possible?"
This is an area that no one has ever thought about. After all, devices are not people. First of all, how to give instructions? After giving them, how to make the device execute automatically?
Zeng Guanghua knew that CNC lathes had already existed in foreign countries and had also been developed in China, but they had not yet been maturely applied.
It can be said that the CNC lathe that Ji Xia helped them modify today definitely exceeds the current international level.
"There's no doubt that the machining accuracy of CNC lathes is much more stable than manual machining," Ji Xia continued. "Many factors affect precision, and repeated clamping of parts is the biggest one. If we had a machining center, wouldn't we be able to eliminate this step and maximize machining accuracy?"
Ji Xia said, "As far as I know, China currently needs high-precision parts in many fields, especially certain specialized areas. Sometimes, an eighth- or even ninth-level worker is required to repeatedly manufacture them. Selecting the most precise parts may not necessarily meet the requirements. In this case, achieving mass production is a joke."
Zeng Guanghua was extremely moved, and Chen Zenggang even wanted to help Ji Xia lobby the secretary. He looked at the secretary eagerly, like a poor child asking for candy.
