In the morning of the next day, Xu Zhenming received a notice to participate in a joint office meeting organized by the production department of the collective company.
Generally speaking, he should not participate in meetings of this level unless there is a particularly important matter that requires him to participate in decision-making.Ma Jimin, who presided over the meeting, specially asked Yang Yurong to notify him to attend the meeting. The content of this meeting must be very important.
Around 8:30, Xu Zhenming walked into the large conference room on the sixth floor of the office building on time.This super-large ladder meeting room is an exclusive meeting room for the production department, and is generally used by the production department of the group company.
At this moment, the meeting room is full of people.
Chen Dengliang from the large riveting and welding base of the group company, Hong Aiguo from the CNC machine tool factory, Zheng Cheng from the technical department, Zhang Neojing from the Mingxin Manufacturing Company, Hu Mingzhen from the electronic laboratory... etc.
Almost all middle-level cadres from all departments of the group company came.
Near the first floor of the ladder conference room, the conference table on the rostrum has been arranged, and the main seat in the center is still in the air, waiting for Xu Zhenming's arrival.
Seeing that this pace hastened a little, Xu Zhenming came to the podium to take his seat in three steps and two steps.
Ma Jimin sat on his left hand and nodded and smiled at Xu Zhenming.Immediately he sullen his face again and looked down the podium with solemn eyes.
"Ahem, hem!" He coughed a few times, motioning everyone to calm down.
"Dear colleagues, our group company won the battle yesterday and got a dozen orders for KrF lithography machines. For the group company, this is a good thing; but for those of us engaged in production, this is a challenge. ."
Ma Jimin took the microphone and said with a serious expression.
He told everyone present that the order for 16 KrF lithography machines that Yiming Group has just received is a big problem.Because Yiming Group's manufacturing capacity cannot keep up, it is no longer possible to complete these orders on time.
"The two lithography machines manufactured by our group company actually took nearly a year. The first one achieved experimental success, and the second one can be debugged. But now it is different. We have to make various types from scratch. Sub-system, time is too late."
Ma Jimin was talking while looking at the computer screen in front of him.
The technician in charge of operating the computer displays a production plan sheet.
At this moment, on the big projection screen behind Xu Zhenming and others, the electronic form of the CCED97 system has displayed the tasks of 16 lithography machine orders.
The first batch of four orders was placed during the Spring Festival. The production department has completed the preparation, preliminary processing, and spare parts processing of the main system of the lithography machine. It is estimated that there will be three months to deliver.
The second batch of two orders was only placed on April 10. The stocking of raw materials has not yet started.
The third batch has a total of 10 KrF lithography machines, but because of the sudden departure of Bay Bay VIA, the company’s order for a lithography machine cannot be confirmed.
In addition, Wanwantai Electromechanical Company has two orders. Although the contract was signed, the advance payment did not arrive. The accuracy of the order was unpredictable.
"If only seven KrF lithography machines are made, all production tasks will be completed by October 1998 according to our current production capacity. But what if customers come to order again?"
Ma Jimin raised his concerns.This is also his main purpose for organizing today's meeting.
After throwing out these issues, Ma Jimin gave up the right to speak and let colleagues attending the meeting come up with suggestions.
After listening to Ma Jimin's report, Xu Zhenming did not rush to speak.He was here to attend the meeting as a non-voting delegate, so that he could not speak without speaking, allowing the management of Yiming Group to use his brain and learn to think.
At this time, Wang Guoyou, who had already taken the position of middle-level leadership, stood up from the third row with a smile."I'll make a suggestion." He smiled and nodded at everyone.
Wang Guoyou is a technical expert of computerized embroidery machines.
The computer embroidery machine factory where he was originally located has merged with branch factories such as computer cutting machines, computer clothing pattern cutting machines, computer shoe pattern cutting machines, etc. to form a shoe and clothing intelligent equipment company.
Wang Guoyou is the deputy general manager of Shoes & Apparel Intelligent Equipment Company, who specializes in technology development.It stands to reason that he has nothing to do with the lithography machine project, so what good suggestions can he make?
Therefore, the middle-level cadres in the conference room were not optimistic about him.Everyone turned their heads in silence and looked at Wang Guoyou who was smiling.
But Wang Guoyou's thinking at this time is different from everyone's.
He knows the characteristics of Xu Zhenming, knows that the boss appreciates capable employees, and will promote internal employees based on their abilities and contributions.He wanted to climb up, only at this moment to get the boss's idea.
"Chairman, dear colleagues, I think our group company should reconsider expanding the scale of the headquarters group, expanding the equipment level of the production department and the number of technicians. This is the fundamental way to solve the production capacity of KrF lithography machines."
In everyone's eyes, Wang Guoyou did not blush, nor stammered, to speak out his shallow thoughts.
He also believes that the production method of the KrF lithography machine should be the same as the manufacture of computerized embroidery machines, using mass production to solve the order problem.
For example, if the production task of a hundred lithography machines is first placed, customers can pick up the goods anytime and anywhere.
Wow...
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the conference room.
Although he is also engaged in intelligent equipment manufacturing, Wang Guoyou's knowledge of lithography machine manufacturing is still a bit weak.One hundred KrF lithography machines, it is estimated that there are only so many in the world.
So, his plan definitely won't work.
But his speech this time attracted Xu Zhenming's attention.
"Hey... Lao Wang is now eligible to come to the meeting. I will give him a R&D task later." Xu Zhenming glanced at Wang Guoyou and wrote a line in his notebook.
This line of words is also the inspiration for a new product. It is precisely because of the appearance of Wang Guoyou that Xu Zhenming suddenly has the inspiration.Therefore, the appearance of Wang Guoyou is still very useful.
"Mr. Ma, I suggest that we separate the parts of the lithography machine so that our group company’s Xijing manufacturing base, Lianda manufacturing base, and Shenjing manufacturing base can produce at the same time. In this way, there are 30 KrF lasers. We can also have time for the order for the engraving machine."
"No! That would leak our core technical secrets!"
"What is there to worry about? The other three machinery manufacturing bases are also branches of our group company. Will the employees betray our group company?"
Since Wang Guoyou handed over the microphone, the middle-level cadres in the conference room have all spoken, believing that Yiming Group has the ability to complete the order for 16 KrF lithography machines.
Xu Zhenming also believes that this is not a big problem, but that Ma Jimin's ability is unable to handle such cutting-edge technology projects.
Mindful of this, he wrote a small note and handed it to Ma Jimin privately, implying that Ma Jimin proposed to establish a semiconductor equipment manufacturing company immediately, allowing experts to manage this kind of cutting-edge equipment manufacturing project.
