After May 1975. Our factory is in full swing with a production war. I'm working in the model room. I just finished a set of models and did a self-inspection. I felt that there was no problem, so I confidently handed it to the section chief, Master Yang. After he finished the routine inspection, he satisfactorily stamped the bright red " qualified " seal on the model I made. He casually placed the " Pass " stamp back into his tool cabinet and carefully put it away.
At this moment, Master Yang raised his head and asked me thoughtfully,"Do you still have unfinished blueprints?”
"No," I answered firmly,"do you want to give me a new task?"”
Master Yang, the section chief, took off his glasses and took out a handkerchief from his pocket. As he slowly wiped his glasses with both hands, he said seriously,"There's no need for that now, you've finished your last job as a model maker. From today onwards, you have to leave our model room and work in the materials department of the factory.”
"What's going on?" I asked in surprise.”
Master Yang pondered for a moment and said unhurriedly,"I only know that this is the factory's decision. As for the specific details, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the workshop office in person and ask the workshop personnel. However…You must report to the materials department in the factory this morning. After you're done reporting, you can take some time to return to the model room and hand over your tools to the workshop material staff to officially complete the handover procedures.”
Just as Master Yang said this, I suddenly remembered that two things did happen some time ago. It seemed to be related to my job transfer.
A few months ago, my old company commander found me in the model room and called me to a deserted place outside the workshop. He asked me very seriously,"You've been a worker in the workshop for several years. When I was the workshop director, how did you think I treated you?”
"You're good to me," I said.
"Then are you still willing to follow me?" he asked.”
At that time, I really didn't understand the true meaning of his words. At that time, because of the old leader's feelings, I casually said,"Since you think highly of me, I'll follow you.”
He nodded in satisfaction and waved at me before leaving.
Later, the factory manager also came to me and asked me face to face,"I want to transfer your work and ask you to do something else. Do you agree?”
I remember that I was boasting at that time and was too confident."I'm a member of the Komsomolets. I promise to obey the orders and do whatever the party tells me to do.”
The factory manager nodded in satisfaction, but he didn't say where he wanted to transfer me or what specific work he wanted to do. He left me in a hurry and went to do his work.
I finally understand. I can't be wrong. The old company commander and the factory director looked for me. The focal point of these two matters has completely fallen on me. These two things had finally overlapped. After a few days, they finally showed their true colors.
As the saying goes,"There is no banquet in the world that will not end."”
I bid farewell to the section chief, Master Yang. I returned to my work desk. I told my master. Master did not say anything. He looked at me silently. I had no choice but to tell him,"My workplace is in the materials department of the factory, not far from here. We can see them anytime. I hope you come and play often."
Immediately after. I shook hands and said goodbye to the masters and brothers in the squad.
I bid farewell to my model section, bid farewell to all the masters and senior brothers and sisters in the model section, reluctantly left the model room of the Third Company Workshop that I had worked for several years, and came to the material department of the factory department. As soon as I entered the door, I saw my old company commander.
When the old company commander saw me walk into the office, he immediately stood up from the rattan chair and asked happily,"Little Rock, what are you doing here today?”
"Didn't you tell me to report here?" I replied. I'm here now. Captain, why are you here?”
Unexpectedly, the moment I said this, it immediately caused everyone in the materials department to laugh. One of them joked,"Little Stone hasn't even become an official yet. He's so bureaucrat that he doesn't even know who his section chief is."”
In the department, Teacher Shang, who was the oldest at the time, walked over and patted my shoulder. He smiled and said,"Little Rock, you have to understand that your former company commander is still your immediate superior. This is the Section Chief of our Material supply department. Do you understand?"
I scratched my head in embarrassment and smiled. My old company commander has to be called old section chief now.
At this time, the old section chief pulled me in front of Teacher Shang and introduced me,"This is Teacher Shang. From now on, he will be your master. In the future, you will learn business from him. Whatever he wants you to do, you have to do it. His business skills are enough for you to learn for a lifetime. Work hard."
As he spoke, the old section chief brought me to an empty table and joined me. He moved the empty table to the opposite side of Master Shang's desk. It was placed together with Master Shang's desk.
The old section chief said to me,"From now on, you will be working as a material planner with Master Shang."”
From then on, my career as a materials planner began.
I started to be a material planner, following the steps and methods that Master Shang gave me.
First, he would familiarize himself with the inventory of materials in the warehouse for the month, and understand the types of materials in the warehouse, the names, specifications, quantities, and general uses of the specific materials. The place where the supplies were stored. Storage methods and related precautions.
Secondly, according to the material plan proposed by the factory's technical department and the production workshop, as well as the monthly inventory list of our material department's warehouse, the three tables will be balanced. Which materials are available in the warehouse, which materials are not available in the warehouse, or which materials are available in the warehouse, but the quantity cannot meet the needs. There were also some materials that were available in the warehouse. Although the quantity could meet the needs, the specifications and materials could not be met. After sorting out the various situations, they would make a comprehensive balance.
After the overall balance, the first thing to do was to make full use of the inventory. If it really didn't work, they would immediately arrange for the materials to be reported and organize the purchase.
The materials that were under the control of the country were immediately summarized and submitted to the higher-ups in advance.
The materials that were not under the control of the state should be immediately compiled into a monthly purchase plan and reported to the section chief. After being approved by the section chief, it would be handed over to the purchasing staff in the department to organize the specific supply of goods.
Apart from that, he was also responsible for balancing the material plans of the various workshops in the factory. It was still the same principle, using the materials in stock as much as possible. I'm also responsible for the approval of the sporadic material collection of each workshop and department.
Just as I was talking, someone happened to come to collect the materials. I followed the above principles and steps and began to handle it for him according to the process. This was the first time I checked the sporadic materials collected in the workshop in the past few years. The name, specifications, and quantity of the materials to be received were confirmed to be in stock in the warehouse. Moreover, the delivery conditions could be met without affecting the overall production plan. After I carefully reviewed it, that person filled in the name of the person who received the materials on the material collection form. I signed my name on the person who filled in the form on the material collection form and handed it to Master Shang for him to review and sign.
Master Shang took it and looked at it. He flipped through the inventory list for the month and checked the material plan. He nodded and said,"Alright, you did the right thing. In the future, we will follow these rules."
As he spoke, he returned the material list to me intact.
"Master Shang, according to the format of the material collection form, you should be the one to sign the review column."”
Master Shang said," If you ask me, you're not that old. You look so young. Why are you so rigid when you do things?" Of course, according to the rules, you are right. However, the specific situation had to be analyzed and treated differently. The reason why the materials department transferred you here today is to let you handle these specific trivial matters. The arrangement of the leaders is to let you gradually get started as soon as possible and free me as soon as possible so that you can develop more business. Remember, in the future, you can handle these small matters directly. I won't sign any more. If you sign it, it means that you're signing on behalf of me. After you sign it, you can get the Section Chief to sign it. Do you understand?"
"What if I sign the wrong one?" I asked him worriedly.”
Master Shang replied with a bright smile,"Just work boldly and don't worry. If anything goes wrong, the Section Chief and I will be responsible. You understand."
"Understood," I answered carefully.”
With that little bit of practical experience just now, I just felt a little sense of accomplishment. He came to my desk with confidence and wiped the dust off the table with a piece of waste paper. He casually picked up a monthly inventory list and sat on the wooden bench in front of the desk. Not long after, people came to collect all kinds of materials.
Many people followed their old habits and directly asked Master Shang to sign and complete the procedures to collect the materials. Master Shang pointed at me and said to those people,"Go over there. It's right for you to ask me for the materials and ask me to sign." Now. The rules of our materials department have changed. From now on, Little Stone will be in charge of the materials you need.”As soon as I finished speaking, the group of people immediately surrounded me. Master Shang greeted everyone. At the same time, he encouraged me,"Don't panic. Line up and come one by one." Things are always done one by one."
My work as a materials planner officially began.
In the Materials Department, within my scope of business, there was such a content at that time. Among the materials needed for production in the factory, those that are controlled by the state must submit an application plan to the higher-level material management department. The higher-level responsible unit for the supply of state-controlled materials in our factory was the Material Department of Wuye at that time.
Please look at the next section," Business with Materials."
