60s: I have a store

Chapter 277 Safety Guidelines
Section Chief Wang quickly disassembled part of the machine and immediately discovered the problem. One of the parts was severely worn, which was why the unusual noise was coming out.

"Director Fang, please ask Engineer Tan to process this part."

After hearing this, Director Fang hurried to find Engineer Tan in order not to disrupt production.

Engineer Tan is one of the few eighth-level fitters in the rice cooker factory.

Level 8 workers are very rare nowadays, and each one is a treasure in the factory. Even the leaders in the factory have to speak politely, for fear of angering Engineer Tan and causing him to quit his job.

Benchwork is the oldest metal processing technology in mechanical manufacturing. They can process parts with complex shapes and high precision.

Skilled fitters can even produce parts with very complex shapes that cannot be processed by modern machine tools, such as high-precision measuring tools, templates, and molds with complex beginnings.

Of course, there are very few of those.

Moreover, the speed is far inferior to that of economical machine tools, and it is difficult to compare manual labor with machines.

Some level eight fitters can also design, draw, and arrange processes. They are masters of design and drawing in the mechanical industry, and have mastered the mechanical processing properties and cutting properties of various metal materials, as well as the production, improvement, and repair of various cutting tools.

After Director Fang found Engineer Tan, he hurriedly said, "Engineer Tan, please process this part as soon as possible."

"Okay, Director Fang. This part is not complicated, but the precision requirement is slightly higher. Give me some time." Engineer Tan took the part, looked at it for a few seconds, and nodded confidently.

In his eyes, there are no parts that he cannot process, only parts that do not exist. As long as there are drawings or dimensions, he can process them.

Some people just came forward to watch for fun, while some others were wondering if they could steal some skills. After all, with each level promotion, the salary would increase significantly, and they would also be more respected by others.

When Mr. Tan saw this scene, he did not drive them away. Normally, even if someone came to ask for advice, he would teach them without reservation.

He is a highly conscious person and knows that the more senior fitters there are, the better it will be for the country.

However, locksmithing requires a lot of talent. People without talent will probably never become advanced locksmiths in their lifetime.

Director Fang waited anxiously, and almost an hour passed.

"Okay." Mr. Tan breathed a sigh of relief.

Director Fang was pleasantly surprised and said, "Good, good, you are worthy of being Engineer Tan. You succeeded in making such a precise part in one go."

Zhou Yimin asked, "Chief Wang, are there frequent problems with the machine?"

Seeing that the handling method had become so skillful, he guessed that this kind of thing must have happened quite often.

Section Chief Wang sighed and said, “Yes, due to backward technology, design defects, and low-quality materials, these problems have led to unstable performance, poor reliability, and easy failure of the machine.

We are considered good, the machines are not too old..."

Due to technical limitations, the machine's processing accuracy and efficiency are low, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-precision processing.

Secondly, design defects are also a prominent problem, which leads to unreasonable structure and prone to problems such as stress concentration and vibration.

Section Chief Wang expressed all his unhappiness at once.

Zhou Yimin nodded when he heard this. He certainly understood the gap between China and foreign countries.

Even machines that have been eliminated abroad are still much more advanced than those in China.

However, there is no way. We do not lack talented people, but we lack industrial foundation. The current domestic industrial level is really too low.

After hearing what Section Chief Wang said, everyone could only lower their heads in silence.

At this moment, Director Fang rushed over with the parts that had just been processed, and said, "Chief Wang, the parts have been processed."

After Section Chief Wang took the part and measured it with a caliper, he exclaimed: "As expected of Engineer Tan, the parts he made are so accurate." You know, the higher the precision of the part, the better it is for the machine.

They started to assemble it, but this time they intentionally slowed down the speed so that the people in the R&D department would have more time to observe and explain. The people in the R&D department also understood that this was a hard-won opportunity, and they listened very carefully.

After a while, the machine was reinstalled.

Section Chief Wang powered on the machine and found that the previous abnormal noise had disappeared. He then said, "Director Fang, this machine tool has been repaired."

"Chief Wang, I'm sorry to bother you this time." Director Fang.

Fortunately, this machine is not the most important one in the workshop, otherwise, the whole workshop would have to stop. As the workshop director, he has a lot of responsibility and has delayed the production task.

Section Chief Wang said indifferently, "It's my job."

Xiao Li, who was watching, enviously said, "When will I be able to have the skills like Section Chief Wang?"

The person next to him rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be so ambitious. Try to work hard for another ten or eight years before you decide!"

Thinking what?
It's not even dark yet! Already daydreaming?

"Xiao Li, if you work harder in the future, it won't be a problem for you to surpass me. I'm rooting for you, young man." Section Chief Wang encouraged with a smile.

Although he knew that those were words of encouragement to him, Xiao Li was still very happy and excited after hearing them.

Zhou Yimin was stunned, feeling a little amused and helpless.

Young people are young people! They are easily inspired by a few words.

After hearing this, I guess it wouldn't be a problem to take Xiao Li to plow a few acres of land, right?
"Yimin, do you have any suggestions?" Section Chief Wang couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhou Yimin's expression.

Could it be that he had some new ideas? After this period of contact, he still attached great importance to Zhou Yimin's wild ideas.

"I wasn't thinking about anything, I just suddenly thought of something else." Zhou Yimin explained.

"By the way, safety is no small matter. I think we should take this seriously. Otherwise, once an accident occurs, it will not only delay production tasks, but more importantly, it will endanger the lives of our workers..." Zhou Yimin added.

Afterwards, Zhou Yimin talked about the common sense of workshop safety production and management in future generations.

In later generations, this knowledge may be common sense that many workers need to master, but at this time, this knowledge is a little bit advanced.

At first, Section Chief Wang and Director Fang didn't take it seriously, but the more they listened, the more serious they became.

Especially Director Fang, he got nothing.

Finally, he simply took out a notebook and summarized what Zhou Yimin had said into a series of safety rules.

"Yimin, speak slower." He suddenly said, recording slower.

Zhou Yimin slowed down his speech and spoke only of the practical stuff.

After ten minutes or so, Zhou Yimin felt empty.

"Well! That's all!" said Zhou Yimin.

Director Fang handed the notebook over and said, "Comrade Yimin, please check if there is anything missing."

He felt that reporting these safety guidelines was also a credit to him. If nothing unexpected happens, these will become guidelines that many factories will have to memorize.
