Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

When Section Chief Liao was doing the calculations, he initially thought that Director Li must have made a mistake. Workers usually wouldn't make mistakes with data like this, and Director Li looked very young, probably around twenty years old. So he assumed that the young Director Li had made a mistake. But after Section Chief Liao finished calculating the data, he found that Director Li didn't seem to have made a mistake.

And the calculation was actually correct; it turned out that our workers had made a mistake.

This made him a little embarrassed, but if he had miscalculated, he had miscalculated, so he didn't deny it and directly said that Li Feng's calculation was correct.

When Director Fan heard what Section Chief Liao said, he was very surprised. He did not expect that there would be an error in the data of the plan, and that the young Director Li would find it at a glance. This surprised Director Fan.

Although Director Fan didn't understand this, he knew that the factory workers rarely made mistakes in this area, so he didn't know why the workers had miscalculated, especially since Section Chief Liao had just admitted it himself.

At this moment, he looked at Section Chief Liao. He didn't understand this, so he wanted Section Chief Liao to make a decision.

However, at this moment, Section Chief Liao was also in a bit of a predicament regarding this technical error. Although he admitted that it was his workers who had made a calculation error, it was a bit embarrassing for Li Feng, an outsider, to point it out.

After all, in Section Chief Liao's view, this was a very shameful thing.

However, at this moment, Director Liao looked at Director Fan, and then he spoke to Li Feng.

"This matter is our factory's responsibility."

"It was due to the negligence of our factory's foreman that this parameter was calculated incorrectly."

"I will correct this error immediately."

Since this is a technical error, Section Chief Liao will still acknowledge it and show his attitude.

Li Feng wouldn't dwell on this kind of thing, because it would eventually be discovered, since the parameters would definitely be checked again when the goods were delivered.

If any parameters are found to be incorrect, then it's definitely something that needs to be addressed by their factory.

Since they admitted that their calculated parameters were wrong, he did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he addressed Section Chief Liao with the issue of process technology.

"I have reviewed your proposal, and apart from the problem with the calculation parameters, there is no problem with your process plan."

"However, the part I designed has extremely high requirements for welding."

"The current technological challenge lies here."

"certainly!".

"If we change it to the pouring method, that would be the best option."

"It's just that the cost is a bit high."

"Perhaps you had this plan, but you may have abandoned it for some reason. However, the premise of both of your plans is that you must have a very skilled welder to do it."

"Otherwise, problems may arise."

After Li Feng finished speaking,

After listening to Li Feng's words, Section Chief Liao was surprised that Li Feng had thought of the one-piece molding solution from the very beginning. However, the one-piece molding solution was too expensive. If the quantity was large, then it would be fine.

If the quantity is small, it's simply not worthwhile. Wuxing Ceramics Factory only ordered one of these parts, so they decided to use welding to make it.

However, when they were working on the plan, they suddenly realized that they didn't know if the welding would work, so their master craftsman proposed two solutions.

Now that he heard Li Feng say that both options were acceptable, but a good welder would be needed, he thought for a moment and then said to Li Feng.

"Since the root cause lies in the welding problem, it's easy to solve."

“We have a very skilled female welder in our factory. If she does it, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

After listening to Section Chief Liao's words, Li Feng was surprised to find that the best welding technician in their factory was actually a female master.

However, generally speaking, the most skilled technicians, such as welders, are usually men.

This was the first time Li Feng had ever heard of a woman having the best welding skills.

However, it's true that women are more meticulous in their work.

Especially women of this era.

At this moment, Li Feng said to Section Chief Liao.

"If there are no problems with the welding technique, then there shouldn't be any issues with either of these two solutions." "After all, the difficulty in my design lies precisely here."

After listening to Li Feng's words, Section Chief Liao nodded to Li Feng.

"Director Li".

"How about this?"

"Regarding this part, we'll start processing it today. Once the welding is finished, how do you see the result? Is that acceptable?"

After thinking about it, Li Feng agreed.

Anyway, it's just checking the welding results. If there are no problems, then I can go back.

So Li Feng nodded to Section Chief Liao at this moment.

"OK!".

"I'll come and see the welding results later."

At this moment, Director Fan heard Li Feng propose a solution, so he immediately spoke to Li Feng.

"Director Li".

"Now that we have the results, let me take you back to rest."

"I'll bring you over for dinner tonight."

After hearing what Director Fan said, Li Feng nodded in agreement.

"OK!".

At this point, Li Feng probably understood what Director Fan meant: he wanted to bring him to the factory for special treatment.

The food at the guesthouse was generally not as good as what we ate at the factory, although the food at the guesthouse was not bad either.

However, factory leaders are usually in the factory, so the food in the factory's canteen is definitely much better than that in the guesthouse.

Li Feng would certainly not refuse this; everyone would be willing to eat well, and Li Feng was no exception.

However, the accommodation and food here are quite good; this is indeed the treatment afforded to the client.

If he weren't the client, Li Feng estimated he wouldn't have received such good treatment.

However, to be honest, this is the only problem I need to solve myself right now.

After Director Fan left with Li Feng, Section Chief Liao criticized the two workers who had provided the solution.

"You two are both long-time employees of the factory, how could you make such a basic mistake?"

"And do you know how much loss this kind of mistake can cause to the factory if the part is scrapped?"

"Luckily, this was discovered this time, otherwise the cost of the wasted materials alone would have been extremely high."

"That's enough to cover the expenses of many families for a year."

"I can understand if it's scrapped, but what do you say if the plan is wrong?"

"Who should bear this responsibility?"

"Is it you? Or is it me?"

At this moment, the two workers blushed with embarrassment after being spoken to by Section Chief Liao.

One of the workers' solutions was created by directly using data from the worker next to him.

But at this moment, he didn't feel wronged. Instead, he blamed himself for not checking the data.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been criticized together. (End of Chapter)
