Reborn in 1985, starting from a machine factory

Chen Mo turned around: "Oh, isn't this Engineer Yang? You're personally supervising the work?"

With a forced smile, Engineer Yang said, "Xiao Wang, go back and review the rules and regulations. I seem to remember that assistant engineers must work under the guidance of engineers."

"Could I be mistaken? I see our big shot, Chen Mo, Assistant Chen, needing to fix a vertical machine tool?"

Chen Mo's expression remained unchanged: "I see. That explains why this screwdriver didn't feel right to me. Please go ahead."

He handed the screwdriver to Engineer Yang.

"Xiao Wang, you'd better check this more carefully. I seem to remember that assistant engineers must follow the instructions of the supervising engineer."

"Since when can assistant engineers assign tasks to full-time engineers?"

Chen Mo smiled calmly. Just as he was about to speak, a sickeningly loud sound came from the workshop.

The roaring gantry milling machine suddenly stopped.

Yang unconsciously turned his head. The machine that had almost given him nightmares was now, unfortunately, stuck in the same spot as last time.

Chen Mo glanced at the gantry milling machine, then looked away: "Foreman Song, hurry up and write the fault report, who are you waiting for?"

"I don't see any real engineers. Is Engineer Yang here?"

"Submit the fault report, and a real engineer will fix it right away! We absolutely cannot delay the project schedule."

Foreman Song wished he could go deaf for a while. He had known Chen Mo for several years, but he had never realized that Chen Mo was so difficult to deal with.

First, he didn't get along with Director Li, and then he clashed with Engineer Yang.

What's worse, he can't afford to offend any of these people.

However, Chen Mo's words now make sense, and Song Bantou pulled out the fault report.

"A real engineer, that's amazing. I really need to learn from him," Chen Mo said.

"Hey, isn't this the gantry milling machine that the big shot just fixed?"

"I don't know if it was just good luck or something, but how come it broke again so quickly?" Engineer Yang retorted without backing down.

"Fortunately, we have Assistant Chen."

"Assistant Chen, I'll trouble you to fix these two devices. Guys, let's go back to the office and have some tea."

"My mouth is dry after talking so much."

"Engineer Yang, you seem to have made a mistake!" Chen Mo patted the dirt off his hands.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you believe I'm your supervising engineer? I fought hard for this, and the notice was covered in ink."

"I'm assigning you to fix these two pieces of equipment now. If you can't fix them, get out of here. I don't keep idle people here."

"I see, no wonder he has such an air of authority." Chen Mo didn't stop walking, and after a few steps he walked to the workshop door and pulled out a piece of paper.

"Chen Mo, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? It's time to leave work, Engineer Yang! It's time to go home!" Chen Mo pointed to the Sanwu brand clocks in the workshop.

"You think you can leave work today if you don't fix these two pieces of equipment?" Engineer Yang said with a sneer.

"Even though I told you you'd made a mistake, you still don't understand."

Chen Mo held the completed paper in his hand: "Until the notice is issued, I will still be a worker in Production Department 3. As a worker, I am not qualified to repair equipment."

"What are the factory's rules? When are workers allowed to dismantle important equipment?"

"Or are you saying, Engineer Yang, that you can change the factory rules?"

"Huh?" Engineer Yang's eyes widened.

"Engineer Yang, you'd better not leave work until you've fixed it, or the bosses won't look good!" Chen Mo said slowly. "But I have to go home now!"

At the same time, the clock struck as he spoke.

"Clang...Clang!"

"Ha, what are you! Who gives you the right to point fingers?" Engineer Yang snorted coldly and walked straight toward the door.

"If it's broken, so be it. I don't need it anyway!"

"Let's see who gets impatient!"

Seeing the group leave, Foreman Song immediately rushed over: "Engineer Chen, I heard that Engineer Yang and the others weren't going to fix it?"

"There's nothing I can do if they won't fix it!" Chen Mo pulled out a note from his pocket: "Squad Leader Song, I'd like to ask for half a day off tomorrow."

"What about this equipment?" Song Bantou was at a loss.

"Squad Leader Song, you have the workshop director and the production department leader. If the technical department discovers equipment damage and people leave work normally, we can't stop them. You should report it truthfully."

"As for me, I can't fix equipment!" Chen Mo smiled.

"The official notice hasn't come down yet. I'm just a worker in the third production workshop, and even if we take a step back, I'm only an assistant engineer. Moving the equipment without authorization would be a serious violation."

"I..." Chief Song opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Chen Mo is absolutely right.

There's nothing wrong with the workshop, and there's even less wrong with him, surnamed Song. It's just that the equipment in the workshop is broken, but now nobody's taking care of it.

"If you report it up the chain of command, you won't be held responsible. It's a written matter, so the sooner the better!" Chen Mo instructed, then took back the leave slip signed by Foreman Song.

"Chen Mo, you asked for leave tomorrow morning, is it because of this?" Foreman Song's smile was more like a grimace.

"Of course not." Chen Mo didn't answer at all; he turned and walked out of the workshop.

The factory regulations are very clear, and assistant engineers are indeed restricted in many ways.

But this has little to do with Chen Mo, since Chen Mo is not an assistant engineer yet, but a worker in the workshop.

What a coincidence!

...

late at night!

Li Guihua got out of bed, still feeling uneasy. She used a long bamboo pole to poke at the cover of the upstairs mezzanine.

"What time is it? Why aren't the lights off yet?"

Chen Mo's helpless voice came from upstairs: "Mom, I know. I'll write some materials and then turn it off."

"Second brother, you need to think about the electricity bill. With the lights on all night, how much does it cost?"

"Mom, I understand!"

Li Guihua muttered a few words, then turned and went back to her room.

Chen Mo, who was in the next room, sighed. He put the two watches he had repaired aside and had already written more than a dozen pages of manuscript paper in his hand.

The factory's situation is simple: people like Engineer Yang are used to being managers and only want to show off their power in their own little corner of the world, while ignoring the true nature of the factory.

Beiyang Heavy Industry!

The fact that such a large factory eventually went bankrupt, leaving tens of thousands of workers unemployed, is inextricably linked to these people.

The essence of a factory is to produce products. If you engage in infighting and backstabbing at every turn, you'll end up accomplishing nothing.

This was not something Chen Mo could worry about, but since he was involved, he couldn't completely stay out of it.

After finishing his meal, he went to the next floor specifically for this "Production Alarm Mechanism".

The reasons why both the factory manager and Secretary Liu sought change are unclear, but at this stage, it is definitely mainly focused on the production workshop.

So this should be helpful!

Chen Mo had written the last line, and he neatly signed his name.

The document is very simple.

In case of equipment failure, the production team leader needs to arrive at the scene within three minutes.

The technical department needs to arrive at the site within ten minutes.

If the fault cannot be resolved, the workshop director must arrive at the equipment location within thirty minutes.

The deputy factory manager in charge must be informed within one hour.

If the time is three hours or more, the factory manager must be informed.

It's very simple, really very simple. Anything extra just goes on to explain the benefits.

It also emphasizes that this is an essential way to improve efficiency in order to build a modern society with four key aspects.

However, this simple mechanism can completely shift the responsibility to the corresponding department.

After all, this is the experience that major companies in later generations have gained through decades of practice.

After blowing on the ink, Chen Mo put away the documents and took out a few sheets of manuscript paper.

In addition to his pen, he also took out a straight piece of wood to use as a ruler and drew pictures on the paper.

There are many things to do, and there is no room for any slack.

"Knock knock knock!"

I had just started drawing a few strokes when the cover of the partition was poked loudly by a bamboo pole.

"Second brother, light bulbs really don't cost electricity, right?"

Li Guihua's voice came from downstairs.

Chen Mo reached out and turned off the light: "Mom, I'm going to sleep now!"

"Well, if they don't want to draw up the antenna design, then they don't have to. Hopefully, the factory run by the neighborhood committee has the capability!"

Chen Mo lay back down in bed.
