Chapter 882 National Inventory Code
"My plan is to standardize the parts of the harmonious wheel first, and then implement this standardized system through ordering." Shi Jiantao said, "The aborigines in Guangdong will definitely not meet our requirements at the beginning, but they have the requirement of pursuing profits. , as long as we propose a quantifiable standard and help them meet this standard, they will be able to produce according to our requirements after a period of time."

Before the 80s, Chinese enterprises also did relatively poorly in controlling tolerances.In the relatively sophisticated field of the aviation industry, it is still impossible to fully achieve the interchangeability of parts of the same type of aircraft.China in the 30th century, which had been industrialized for 20 years, could not do it, let alone the Ming shipbuilding industry, which was completely in the state of handicraft production.

Wood expressed great doubts about this.As far as their experience is concerned, if the handicraft workshops in this time and space were not directly under the management and operation of the veterans, their product quality and production efficiency would be far from the requirements of industrialization.

"To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about your idea. This process is too long, I'm afraid it won't happen overnight." Wu De said, "You have to improve the craftsmanship of the indigenous shipyards, and you have to do too much training and modification work .”

Most shipbuilders are illiterate, and the size and shape of parts are all based on memory.Passing on skills by word of mouth, Wu De thinks that it is too much investment to formulate parts standards for such a group of handicraftsmen and let them produce according to certain specifications.

Instead of cultivating them so painstakingly, it is better to simply annex the indigenous shipbuilding workshops, incorporate all their manpower, and then retrain the craftsmen according to the new model.

"To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about your thoughts." Wu De said, "I've seen a lot of indigenous craftsmen, they are very dexterous and smart, but you have to let them understand weights and measures and understand the meaning of modern weights and measures. , instead of using their own hands or earthen measuring tools, it is very difficult for them. This retraining alone will consume a lot of manpower and time. Do you think we can wait? The naturalized craftsmen are in our direct Under management, we can urge corrections at all times. Now you have to issue orders to individual workshops and make them follow a system that they don’t understand at all—I am very worried about the actual operation effect.”

"You're right." Shi Jiantao knew that what Wu De said was very reasonable, and it was difficult for him to refute, "But I think we can give it a try. Even if there is a [-]% success rate, it will greatly reduce our pain. Production pressure. Give them some small parts to make and try, even if it fails, it won’t have a big impact.”

Wu De considered and agreed to his plan again and again—but restricted him to try it in a smaller range.

With the hard work of Shi Jiantao, the Planning Institute finally issued an order to the Hong Kong shipyard to build 24 H-800s, all of which were standard models.According to the requirements, Shi Jiantao had to complete at least two-thirds of the orders before the end of 1631.

Wu De issued the approval document for the list of material transfers and the permission for the use of shipbuilding funds.

In the 1631 financial budget at the beginning of the year, the Planning Institute received a sum of money for buying or building ships, which was specially used to add to the transport fleet.Part of the money was successively allocated to Lingao Shipyard to build the 901 tugboat and several offshore barges.The remaining funds have not been used yet due to the limited production capacity of the shipyard.

Originally, Wu De planned to exchange part of the funds into foreign exchange and buy ready-made large-tonnage Guangzhou Ship or Fuchuan from Guangdong, but because the current "foreign exchange" of the Senate - silver reserves are tight, it has not been done for a while.

The money is counted by negotiable notes, but Shi Jiantao is located in Hong Kong. According to his vision, many raw materials must be purchased from Guangdong.The circulation of circulation coupons in a small area in Guangzhou is largely due to the prestige and financial resources of Zizihao.

Once out of the city gate, circulation coupons have no purchasing power.Therefore, Wu De reminded Shi Jiantao that he should go to Delong Bank to apply for a certain amount of "foreign exchange" to pay for the raw materials imported from Guangdong.

"Now that there are more foreign trade exchanges, it is really inconvenient to use grain circulation coupons." Wu De said, "I don't know how people in the financial sector plan to get it going. They just think of ways to save money, but there are many things that have to be spent. Silver is not acceptable."

"I'll save money and start a revolution."

"I handed over the order to you, and you must finish it on time." Wu De said, "You know, I originally planned to buy some large Guangzhou Ships and Fuzhou Ships directly from Guangdong to participate in Dengzhou and Zhejiang operations. If you Screw it up and it's going to be hard to end, understand?"

"Yes, I understand. I promise to complete the task." Shi Jiantao said loudly.

"Guarantee is meaningless to me. Deliver the ship on time." Wu De waved his hands, "If you can't do it, I can only ask the Executive Committee to mobilize all our ships during wartime. It has seriously affected the import and export and the supply of various overseas stations."

Shi Jiantao wants to engage in outsourced production, so since the beginning of Lingao's industrialization construction, the establishment and management of industrial standardization has become an urgent problem to be solved.

The establishment and management of industrial standardization is not limited to shipbuilding or industrial enterprises.When the Planning Institute and the General Staff compiled the plans for the Dengzhou and Zhejiang operations, they had already encountered problems in the mobilization, transportation, storage and distribution of a large number of materials.

During the development of Sanya, the Planning Institute and the army have already encountered various inconveniences in transporting supplies.Although the types and specifications of products that Lingao's industrial and agricultural system can produce are not as good as a hypermarket by the standards of old time and space.But the level of complexity in organizing supply has far exceeded the expectations of the elders.

If they hadn't had Hong Huangnan, who had at least a considerable theoretical basis for logistics work, be responsible for compiling supply tables and formulating supply procedures, the development of Sanya's supply work would have turned into a disaster.

Even if there are professionals in command, various mistakes often occur during the supply process: urgently needed materials are not shipped, but materials with a large inventory in Sanya are shipped batch after batch; the goods that should be shipped to Sanya are shipped. Leizhou, but the goods shipped to Hong Kong were sent to Sanya.There were even oolong incidents where the waybill and the unpacked goods did not match.During the period, there was also an incident of "drifting" of goods.In the inventory of the planning institute, it was found that some goods were "unaccounted for".And a few months later, these goods that were declared "not in the planned location" mysteriously appeared in the inventory that no one had ever thought of.

During the operations in Dengzhou and Zhejiang, the logistical supply was even more arduous. Not only did we need to provide food rations to more than [-] refugees, but we also had to provide clothes, medicine, covering materials, cups for drinking water, and bowls and chopsticks for eating; organize ships Long-distance round-trip transportation also needs to set up rest stations and supply points along the way. These stations need construction materials, supply staff and supplies for the garrison; ships need to be repaired and replenished during shipping...

Not only are the supplies supplied in large quantities and varieties, but they must also be supplied to multiple nodes: according to the plan, multiple rest stations will be set up along the route from Dengzhou to Lingao for turnover.These rest stops have to be supplied with various supplies according to the number of refugees detained, arrived and dispatched every day.

In order to ensure an orderly and accurate supply of materials, a joint meeting of various departments was held in the conference room of the executive committee compound. The topic of the meeting was to formulate a standardized code system.

The meeting was led by the Planning Institute, but the suggestion to use standardized codes was proposed by Skade and Hong Huangnan.

Hong Huangnan's idea is very simple. He needs to establish a standard code system to support the logistics if he wants to supply supplies to the ever-expanding army and overseas stations. Humans are not equipped to handle large-scale logistics.Hong Huangnan often said a word: Among the various military departments in Lingao, the logistics command is an organization that has no sense of existence.Not only does it not have a commander, it doesn't even have a guard.

However, Skade's idea is much more complicated. He suggested that this system should be fully implemented in all fields.This is an important part of the "standardized construction" promoted by the Senate.

The boss of the meeting, Cade, took out a lot of materials and distributed them to everyone: this is a military code system standard that seems to have no impact on the US military.

"This is an important reference object for us. The standardization code of the US military: NSN - that is, the national inventory code. When the US military decides to adopt any kind of thing, it will give an inventory code. In the future, any US military and NATO in the world will Warehouses and troops will use this code as the ID number for this kind of thing..." Skade said.

"A kind of thing refers to, for example—" Facing the suspicious elders, Skade continued, "For example...my khaki cloth M65, size L, this is a kind, whether it is Made in Taiwan or made in Mexico, as long as it is certified, it is the same thing, but if it is a size M, or a desert color, it is a different thing, because the Americans don't want to send desert color uniforms to Alaska in the hands of the troops.

"Now we can give each part of the shipyard a code. This code is followed by a set of files, including all drawings, performance, data and quality standards, failure and supply records, qualified supplier lists and non-conforming supplies. Supplier blacklist. Whether it is a screw or a mast, when someone wants to use the same thing in the future, they can find it by searching the archives.
