PREPARATIONS FOR TWO-YEAR PLANS -- Hwanghae Inminbo, 13 Jan 49
The production. records of the small industries for the year 1948
fell far short of the production goal due to: (1) many workers in small
industries did not take the production competition seriously; (2) the
inadequate organization of the production system; (3) the workers paid
core attention to their private affairs than to the State-managed
enterprises; and (4) the intolerable negligence of the Industrial
equipment. The degree of machinery breakdown was so serious that it
became necessary to overhaul the entire machinery in almost every
factory at the beginning of the 1948 industrial year. This was not
only an expensive operation, but it nleo consumed much valuable time.
To ensure a healthy start for the new two-year economic plans, the
following diructivee have been issued:
1. Workers must use their knowledge, experience, and energy in their
work so that the two-yoar plans may be completed successfully.
2. All industries mist be mechanized as such as possible to effect
maximum productivity.
3. Stop rumors. Help strengthen the labor regulations to insure
increased production. It is recommended that political education of the
workers be intensified. Workers will gladly do all they can to mks the
two-year economic plans a great success if they understand the underlying
political significance of the new economic program.
4. Strong emphasis must be paced upon the individual worker's skill
and the quality of products. Period e rod-a'.amtnation of individual
workers' qualifications meet be conducted in an effort to improve workers'
skills. If and when finished products by any individual or group of
individual workers are found to be defective, such factors must be
considered when paying wages, and deductiona from the wages, in proportion
to the production records as affected by defective products, will be made.
5. Thera have been too many industrial machinery breakdowns in the
past, reportedly due to over-age machinery. In the event of machinery
breakdowns in the future, thg cause and the responsibility for breakdowns
must be thoroughly investigated, and every possible precautionary measure
taken to prevent any reclrrence.

6. An individual daily production competition system shall replace
the old departmental production competition system.
7. Some workers, according to the records, failed to meet the
dally individual production quota and laid the blame on the pretended
lack of raw materials. These workers, as proved by their conduct,
prefer to pay the fine for their failure to meet the daily quota rather
than to exert their utmost efforts to meet the set quota. In such
instances, the case should be investigated fully.
