Kimmie calls for industrial production befitting IT age
2009-11-25
SEOUL, Nov. 25 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il visited several industrial factories in a region that borders China and called for their facility modernization "as required by the IT age," state media said Wednesday.
He could also call for food production as required by the age of agriculture ...
"In order to bring about a radical turn in bearing production it is necessary to continue dynamically pushing forward the modernization and scientific progress of the factory," Kim was quoted by the Korean Central News Agency as saying during his visit to Ryangchaek Bearing Factory, the first leg of his industrial visits.

Kim "made the rounds of the computer control room and the room for incubation and other places to acquaint himself in detail with its technological updating and production," the report said of his chicken farm visit.

Kim also visited the Sinuiji Shoes Factory, the Sinuiju Grass Craft Production Cooperative and the Sinuiju Chicken Farm, the report said. Workers at the chicken farm greatly contributed to improving the people's diet, he said.
I'm almost afraid to ask how ...
The workers "have made progressive leaps in the production of meat and eggs by intensifying the technological updating of the production processes and putting the breeding on a scientific basis as required by the IT age," Kim said.

#9  I once worked for Teledyne Continental (Continental Aircraft Engines) we had a Vice-President DETERMINED to force the plant to modernize, he damn near bankrupted them, Ripping out whole Production lines and replacing 20 machines with ONE CNC monster.
When I first started working there, we could make 52 engines working around the clock (Maximum capacity) when I left the top capacity was 16.
He damn near "Modernized" Continental to death. Anybody who KNEW how to make engines he fired,(Union, what he'd do is have a "layoff" Then about 6 months later he' call folks back IF they'd agree to leser pay and lower status, A regular routine, and got newer, cheaper Non-Machinists to replace skilled workers. A lot of highly skilled folks didn't come back.

This spunds much the same, Pigheadiness and Managment By Decree instead of brains.
