61: Is someone arguing?

Just walked into the workshop, saw Yang Tianmo yelling at Qi Qingan: "I think your work process has problems! Doing things this way wastes time and delays work."

Qi Qingan said angrily: "This is the consistent production process of our Jiangnan Machinery Factory, why do you think it's not okay now?"

Yang Tianmo was so angry his face turned red: "Are you still a Director Yao? Can't you see that after clocking in every day, the employees in the later processes have nothing to do? They have to wait until the first few processes are completed and reach the final process before they can start working. Isn't nearly an hour of time wasted?"

"Before, when you were in the first few processes, why didn't you have so many opinions?" Qi Qingan said huffily.

"Yesterday, I was transferred to the final process and only then discovered this problem. Before, when I was in the front processes, I didn't have time to manage the matters of the later processes. And I couldn't manage them!" Yang Tianmo roared, his neck stiff.

"Then don't manage it now either, you can't manage it!" Qi Qingan retorted impolitely.

"General Manager Liu, you're here, perfect, you judge, am I right or wrong!" Yang Tianmo spotted Liu Xiaolin who had just entered and immediately asked him to decide.

"What's going on?" Liu Xiaolin listened for a while, had a general idea, but still wanted to ask for the details.

"General Manager Liu, it's like this, today's output is similar to the past few days, but Yang Tianmo thinks the output is lower by a few units because the process hasn't been optimized, so they started arguing." Qi Qingan quickly explained when he saw Liu Xiaolin arrive.

"Still a few units short today? Why? There was no rework today." Liu Xiaolin asked in confusion.

"Yes, there was no rework today, but because the quality inspection between each process was much stricter, the entire process slowed down, and in the end, the personnel in the front processes were very busy, while the personnel in the back rested from time to time." Qi Qingan said.

"Wasn't I right! If it wasn't for a smoother process, why would I bother arguing with you? Anyway, we get paid for a day's work for a day's shift." Yang Tianmo said huffily.

After listening, Liu Xiaolin thought for a while and said to Qi Qingan: "It's a good thing for employees to raise issues. Many things we consider correct, they can find and raise problems during their practice. This requires us managers to be good at solving problems, not solving the people who raise problems."

"I wasn't trying to solve the person who raised the problem, I was just discussing the problem with him," Qi Qingan said a little unhappily, feeling misunderstood by Liu Xiaolin.

"Like this, you notify the personnel from the Production Department, Quality Inspection Department, and Technology Department to come over, we'll have a temporary meeting in the workshop." Liu Xiaolin said.

It's almost five now. After the workers get off work, a few people will hold a meeting to discuss solutions, and they can implement the new plan tomorrow.

Seeing that the leaders were going to have a meeting, Yang Tianmo didn't dare to make noise anymore. He returned to his equipment, tidied up the area, and prepared to get off work.

"Master Yang, please don't leave yet. I'd like to invite you to attend our temporary meeting today, do you have time?" Liu Xiaolin saw Yang Tianmo who had finished tidying up and was preparing to leave, and went after him to ask.

"You leaders are having a meeting, what am I interfering for?" Yang Tianmo rolled his eyes and said.

"Our factory's employees are all good employees with a sense of ownership, they all care about the factory. Today's meeting is about factory matters, so you have the right to participate." Liu Xiaolin encouraged.

Seeing Liu Xiaolin was so sincere, Yang Tianmo felt a bit embarrassed to refuse again: "Okay then, I'm just a grunt worker anyway, didn't really have the right to speak. Since General Manager Liu thinks so highly of me, I'll attend your meeting and listen and learn."

"It's not just listening and learning, it's about actively speaking up and offering ideas." Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"General Manager Liu, everyone is here, waiting for you in the workshop office." Zhao Rui walked over and said.

Although Zhao Rui wasn't workshop personnel, he was from the Comprehensive Department, and every meeting required him to take minutes and summarize.

"Okay, Master Yang, let's go together." Liu Xiaolin took Yang Tianmo and walked into the workshop office together.

The workshop office wasn't big, so Zhao Rui temporarily grabbed a few chairs and arranged them in a circle.

The others were already seated, but they all stood up when they saw Liu Xiaolin come over.

Although Liu Xiaolin wasn't old, he was still the General Manager. In an old enterprise like Jiangnan Machinery Factory, seniority no longer worked; it was about the size of one's position.

"Sit down, sit down. Let's start the temporary meeting. We're taking up a bit of your rest time, please don't mind." Liu Xiaolin said very politely.

"General Manager Liu, don't say that. Who among the people who work in the factory doesn't treat factory matters as their own and handle them with such urgency?" Li Wei's loud voice echoed through the office.

"It's all as it should be, everyone wants to solve the problem as quickly as possible." Wang Shengjun said gently.

"Okay, very good, then let's start the meeting. First, I'd like to ask Master Yang to tell everyone about the issue of the workshop's process flow not being smooth enough." Liu Xiaolin went straight to the topic.
