Chapter 114 Time is a big problem

"It's all good things!"

A group of workers and technicians kept stuttering around the machine tools with German letters. Even if they didn't look at the technical performance indicators of these equipment, just looking at the exquisite appearance was enough to be amazed. The retired masters from Pujiang had seen some of the world, and some had been exposed to imported CNC equipment before retirement, but seeing so many imported machine tools at the same place still gave people a shocking feeling.

The second-hand equipment dismantled from Philo Company fills the two existing workshops of Chenyu Company. It turns out that the old equipment of Tongchuan Agricultural Machinery Factory, except for a few that can still play a role, the rest are piled into the warehouse. Some of the warehouses cannot be piled up and have to occupy a corner of the employee canteen.

According to Peman's humble opinion, these old equipment is no longer valuable, so it is better to sell it to the acquisition station as scrap iron. He didn't even think that these things are also possible to be sold as second-hand equipment. In this regard, Feng Xiaochen and Yang Haifan have the same view, that is, they are treasured and they always think it's a pity to throw away such good things, so it's better to store them first. In fact, Feng Xiaochen also knew in his heart that with the expansion of the company's business scale, these old equipment basically have no chance to see the light of day again. Keeping them is purely a kind of psychological comfort.

The original production process of Philo Company was complete. This time, Feng Shuyi spared no effort to remove all the equipment that could be dismantled and transported it to China. Peman directed the workers to install the equipment according to the location when he was in Germany, and then took several experienced technicians to debug one by one, and rebuilt the original production system. However, according to Peman, since some equipment was a little outdated, and some equipment lost some accuracy during the folding and reinstallation process, Chenyu Company's current production capacity can only be about 80% of the original Philo Company.

"80% is enough." Feng Xiaochen replied to Perman, "Peman, how long does it take to make this system produce qualified oil film bearing products?"

"This...is probably difficult." Peman's face showed a look of embarrassment.

"Why?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"There is no skilled workers. Needless to say, the newly recruited apprentices are not mentioned. Those retired workers use traditional machine tools. Even in Germany, they are all newcomers when it comes to the use of CNC machine tools. I don't know how long it will take for them to master these operating techniques."

"Can't you estimate a time?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Peman thought for a while and said, "The fastest speed may take about three months... I mean, let them learn how to use these machine tools. As for being able to use these machine tools to process qualified parts at a high level, it may take another three months."

"In other words, it took half a year in total?" Feng Xiaochen said.

Peman nodded: "Yes, this is just the most optimistic situation."

"The most optimistic..." Feng Xiaochen asked a little discouragedly: "What if he is more pessimistic?"

"That may be one or two years." Peiman didn't feel Feng Xiaochen's displeasure and answered honestly.

"This is unacceptable." Feng Xiaochen said angrily. It has only been half a year or even a year, and it has been too late. He actually knew that running-in for a new factory is not so easy. It is already very efficient to take out the finished product in half a year. But he cloned it directly from Germany, and it is ready-made from equipment to products, and there are dozens of outstanding technicians. In this case, he has to wait for half a year to a year. He is really unwilling to accept it.

"I hope to produce qualified products in three months. This is the bottom line and we can't break through any more." Feng Xiaochen said.

Peiman could only answer with silence. His aggrieved expression reminded Feng Xiaochen of a line, called "I can't do it." Thinking that if he forced him down, Peman might appear in a cute way, Feng Xiaochen felt a chill. He waved his hand, asked Peman to leave, and then called Yang Haifan and told him what Peman meant.

"Half a year is indeed too long." Yang Haifan's idea was quite consistent with Feng Xiaochen. His eagerness to achieve success even exceeded Feng Xiaochen. He could not bear it when he asked him to wait for half a year.

"Is there any way?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Yang Haifan thought for a while and said, "I have no choice. I have no idea how long it takes for the masters to master these machine tools. Otherwise, let's discuss it with these masters. Haven't we always advocated the mass line?"

"Yes." Feng Xiaochen nodded. He didn't know whether these retired masters could learn to use imported CNC machine tools, and how long it would take them to learn, or whether it would be better to listen to what these people said.

Yang Haifan called the workshop and invited seven or eight masters, including the old engineer Chen Jinqun. After everyone sat in the small conference room, Feng Xiaochen bluntly raised his own question: "My masters, our equipment is in place, everyone has seen it. The question now is how long it takes for everyone to adapt to these equipment and when will our company produce the finished product?"

When I heard Feng Xiaochen’s question, everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, waiting for others to speak first. After two or three minutes, an old car worker named Yu Song spoke:

"Director Feng, your question is really hard to answer. Mr. Peman just demonstrated how to use CNC lathes to us, which really opened our eyes. To be honest, I have never touched such CNC lathes in the past, just heard others talk about it. I looked at it today and thought this play is really useful.

I don’t think it’s too difficult to learn to open such a lathe. I just let the computer help you do all the things we do by hand. I can basically understand the truth in this, that is, how to set commands on the control panel, and I need someone to guide you. If Mr. Perman can guarantee the guidance, I guess I will be able to master it in one or two weeks.”

"Master Yu, the operation of this CNC lathe is quite different from our traditional lathes. Can you really adapt?" Yang Haifan asked worriedly.

Yu Song said: "Actually, there is no difference. You should just use a chuck to clamp the workpiece and then use a knife to cut it? It just changes the matter of shaking the handwheel to a machine to shake it. We have to set the amount of shaking, right? I can see what's going on at a glance."

"Well, what about the other masters?" Yang Haifan turned his head to the others and asked.

Youyu let go of his head, and the other people's chatterboxes were opened. Some people said they couldn't quite understand the foreign code on the machine. If they were changed to Chinese, they might know how to use it. Some people said they had never used such high-precision beds in the past, and they probably had to try it out. However, everyone was not afraid of the use of these imported machine tools. Perhaps because they were skilled and brave, they didn't think there was anything they could not learn.

"Director Feng, Xiao Yang, I think it's not enough to just let all masters learn to turn on the machine tools." Chen Jinqun made his last speech, and he said:

"I just looked through the information I sent. These information are quite complete. Germans are much more particular about doing things than us. We can learn a lot from the middle. But the problem now is that most of these information is German, and a few are in English.

It doesn’t matter if the technical data is partly, I can read German data. But the process files are troublesome. None of us masters understand German. If we want to officially start production of traditional products from Philo Company, we must first translate the German process files into Chinese. The workload of this work is amazing."

Feng Xiaochen took a breath of cold air, which was really a problem he ignored. Making a bearing is not enough to have a drawing. Every process link has process requirements. If these requirements are not met, it is impossible to create products that reach the level of Philo Company. Of course, the process information of Philo Company is written in German, and if it is not translated into Chinese, workers cannot use it.

"Mr. Chen, how much information do you think you need to translate?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Chen Jinqun said: "This number is hard to say. I thought about it. If I were to translate it alone, it would probably take about half a year, as long as I only do this and cannot be distracted from doing other things."

"This is difficult." Feng Xiaochen scratched his scalp. "Peman wants to explain to everyone the use of machine tools, and you also need to do translation, so your main job is not to translate technical materials, but to be an assistant for Perman."

"What should I do?" Chen Jinqun looked at Feng Xiaochen, showed a embarrassed expression and said, "I can work overtime. My family is not here anyway. When I have nothing to do at night, I can translate some of it, but I'm afraid I can't keep up with the requirements."

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "No, I can't let you work overtime. You are so old that you have been busy all day during the day and work overtime to do translation at night. Your body will not be able to stand it. We are a joint venture, not a sweatshop for capitalists, so we can't be so demanding on everyone."
