Lingao¡¯s standard code system is specifically a copycat nsn. The sorting rule of nsn is 4+2+7 bits. The first 4 digits are the classification code. The code before 1974 was in the 4+7 pattern, followed by the serial number. From 1951 to 1974, a 7-digit code was used, called fsn. After 1974, two country codes were added before the serial number, and now it can support up to 1-1 billion items and parts. Americans themselves use 00, 01, 02. That means a total of more than 20 million were used. FSN did not have classification codes before, only serial numbers. It was 5 digits at the beginning of World War II and 6 digits at the end of World War II.
"The US military has only used 20 million. Even if we want to extend it to the entire industrial field, all types will not exceed 20 million. We will stay above five digits for a long time. So currently we use 4+2+5 The system of digits will be good. In the future, we can add digits like a phone number upgrade."
"The biggest advantage of Laomei's coding is that the categories have been pre-divided. It is easy to search for any category of things by following the category number, and you can quickly find any of them."
By adopting a standard code system, even if electronic computers cannot be used for management for the time being, at least it has laid the foundation for future electromechanical card database management.
Skade took a sip of water: "Aren't we short of people now? We should reduce repetitive work as much as possible, code all the existing parts, and create files. If you need anything, check it out first. If you can use it, you can use it. GM, doesn't this save manpower? Especially the veterans who are designers and engineers. It is also very convenient for organizing logistics supply."
"Judging from the recent internal trials of our colonial ministry, we now only use a few thousand kinds of raw materials and parts. There are not as many kinds of parts on a car as in the old days. The entire file only uses two or three The natives took charge. If I wanted to check the archives of any commodity, someone would bring it to my desk within three minutes. In the future, if there are too many things, it will just be a human flesh database. I propose to establish a standardized central information archive, and all departments You can come here to search and consult to improve efficiency."
"You are too idealistic. If the standard code does not have the support of the modern IT industry, without the support of barcodes, automatic scanners and databases, it can only achieve low-level functions. By then, just compiling a comparison copy will become a complex issue." Veterans who have worked in ERP said this is an unrealistic "Great Leap Forward".
"It's not that complicated," Skade said plausibly, "This system was already in existence during World War II. How could you have anything to say at that time?"
He continued to explain: The purpose of classification codes is to assign different things to different people. A major category is assigned to a logistics department: such as electronics department and hydraulic department. A subcategory or several subcategories are assigned to a person or a group. Specific management is directly implemented by people. If there is a problem with the things in charge, if the files are not standardized, or if the files cannot keep up with the development, the salary will be deducted.
The original serial number is still the serial number and continues to be arranged in order. This part is managed by the general directory.
"Although we don't have computers, these codes can be managed by naturalized civil servants. They can be simply trained in library retrieval skills and master the skills of using card indexes and filing files. With our current situation Depending on the level of technical development, at most a dozen or so major categories of standard codes can be used, and less than 100 can be used for small categories. The total number of codes can be in the tens of thousands at most. A professional team of twenty or thirty people can manage it very well, and at most a few more can be added. A supervisor is responsible for checking errors.¡±
Before there was an IT system, fsn had a complete paper system that ran through tables. This system has been used for decades. Even after the IT equipment and software are available, this paper system still exists as a backup, but now it is printed directly from the database to keep the record.
"In order to further explain how this system works, I will take the Hong Kong shipyard as an example." Skade said, "In fact, it is mainly table operations. Various activities have tables for various activities."
For example, if the shipyard wants a certain model of 20 cm ship nails, it can give the demand list to Guangzhou Station. The Guangzhou Station notified qualified indigenous workshops and craftsmen to come up with quotations and then sign contracts to purchase the goods. As the receiving agent, *** Shipping took the forms to sign for them one by one, and then forwarded them to Shi Jiantao, and Delong made payment based on the receipt documents.
Each workshop in the shipyard reports its requisition plan to the warehouse every day, and the warehouse determines the inventory plan based on consumption and inventory. After the plan is approved, it is transferred to the supporting department and then placed with the Guangzhou station. After *** Shipping receives the ship, it will also accept repair parts. According to the consumption rate of the parts, a warning line will be set. If the line is reached, additional orders will be placed.
"Similarly, we can also apply it in many aspects such as logistics supply, trade management, etc. These tasks could be completed manually when I first started working, and it is not impossible to implement complex management without computers."???It's just a decrease in efficiency. The purpose of the nsn code is to ensure that the transmitted information will not be distorted at all stages of the process, and at the same time, all additional generated information, such as a supplier's capabilities, the failure and damage of the component itself, can be recorded and analyzed based on The only clues are entered into the file and forwarded to those who should know the information. "
¡°As a result, the speed of information exchange has become very important.¡± Shi Jiantao expressed concern about this.
"We have wireless and wired telegraphs through which data can be exchanged. More complex forms can be delivered by mail."
"I am deeply suspicious of such exchange of data. First of all, the timeliness is a mess. Secondly, have you underestimated the complexity"
¡¡
The two sides argued about this issue for more than ten minutes, and finally everyone's eyes fell on Wu De, who was in a "state of contemplation." As the moderator of the meeting, he has the final say on the issue.
"Well, what everyone said makes sense." He suddenly "awoke". In order to cover up his distraction, he coughed, "I think the standard code system should still be implemented. It's better to do it sooner rather than later - taking advantage of the small variety of materials at present, establishing the system first will save a lot of trouble in the future. I think Just follow Skade¡¯s plan and try it out.¡±
At the meeting, it was decided to first use the Hong Kong Shipyard and the Fubo Army¡¯s Logistics Command as pilot units to implement the imperial standard code system.
After the meeting, Wu De picked up the fake boss briefcase and walked out of the planning institute conference room. He had the next meeting to hold. At this time, the three steps and two steps came up from behind.
"Ade! Walk slowly."
"What's up?"
Si Kaide said: "This time we implement the standard code and prepare to outsource shipyard parts. Can the letter of credit system also be launched in Guangzhou?"
"Let's discuss this matter later. I don't think there is any problem." Wu De has always had an indispensable attitude towards things like letters of credit - anyway, the Planning Institute has always been not very interested in finance. "The executive committee said Just pass.¡±
"The problem is that everyone doesn't seem to know enough about this aspect. The implementation of the letter of credit system will be of great benefit to import and export trade. It is a good thing that brings convenience to both parties. It is not a financial trick"
Wu De didn¡¯t listen to Skade¡¯s complaints very much. He had been a little absent-minded since the meeting - the concept of imperial inventory codes was something he strongly advocated. He originally knew nothing about the concept of fsn. It was entirely the result of Hong Huangnan and Si Kaide constantly coming to him to lobby. The concept of "standardization" of all things was often mentioned in the "Weekly Thoughts" that Wen Desi was personally responsible for compiling and circulated weekly to the Executive Committee, Senate Standing Committee and heads of ministries.
It was under this dual stimulation that he became interested in the fsn system and took the lead in preparing for its organization and implementation. However, just having a code system only facilitates management, and the objects to be managed are far from enough.
The launch of the Dengzhou and Zhejiang operations was imminent. The Senate did not specify the exact number of people to be obtained from these two operations. It only said "to transport as many as we can". Although he said this, Wu De believed in Ma Qianzhu's private conversation that this second operation would only be valuable if it had a population of at least 200,000. At present, the number of refugees in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Jiangxi has decreased, and the pace of accepting people in various stations has slowed down significantly. If we do not create an artificial crisis, it will become difficult to absorb a large number of new people from Guangdong.
"Of course it's good to invest by yourself, but compared to indentured servants, I still prefer indentured servants." Ma Qianzhu said, "They are more motivated than ordinary people to work and are easy to manage. Furthermore, we also need to change the proportion of the population structure. .¡±
The Senate is also very dissatisfied with the current situation where there are too many naturalized people from Guangdong and Fujian. Most of the naturalized people were admitted from Guangdong. Due to geographical conditions, Guangdong and Fujian have the largest population. In Lingao, Cantonese vernacular and Hokkien not only have the possibility of replacing Lingao dialect, but even Mandarin, the official language, has also fallen behind. Although the elders vigorously promoted Mandarin in schools and government agencies, in production enterprises, these two dialects tended to gradually become the lingua franca among workers.
In the final draft of the population transport plan, the Planning Institute plans to transport 100,000 people from northern Zhejiang and at least 100,000 people from Dengzhou - the vast majority of them will be transported back to Lingao, and 10,000 people will be resettled to Taiwan and Hong Kong. In addition, two to three thousand people were resettled in Zhejiang to serve as the labor force for Zhao Yingong's industries in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
