Sailors, port workers and railway workers interact here. No matter how many times I had to visit ports, especially this one in Leningrad, I was always surprised and made to think about the unusual status of this enterprise for a person from the outside: it is neither sea nor land, but both — part on land, part on water. Ships are coming from one side, and railway trains from the other. The sea gate for earth. An earthly gateway to the sea.
The Leningrad Port is one of the largest seaports in the country. And one of the best, largely due to the fact that the restructuring processes are rapidly gaining momentum here.
The team associates its beginning with a specific date — January 1, 1987. Of course, no one is going to claim that everything happened on that day. It doesn't happen that people fall asleep in some economic conditions and wake up in others. This is a lengthy and far from simple process. But everything has a beginning, even the biggest and longest journey begins with the first step.
However, before that, there was still a year of preparation for the transition to new working conditions. A year when it was necessary to comprehend the essence of what was happening: the abandonment of the previous administrative system, under which the command "Cargo — at any cost!" operated once and for many years, and, as luck would have it, the year was unsuccessful for the team: the volume of traffic dropped sharply, the mechanisms failed every now and then, capricious foreigners literally The port chief was bombarded with polite but very unambiguous ultimatums; "Mr. Terekhov, we don't have time to wait for you to rebuild."
Terekhov didn't have time either. The sharp drop in productivity against the background of a record year in 1985 was not only surprising for foreign sailors, but also for their own employees.: what will happen in terms of full self-financing?
Back then, no one could answer that question. You can do it now. Let's not overuse the numbers, let's just name the main ones. Over the past three years (despite the unsuccessful 1986), the intensity of fleet processing at the port has increased by more than 40%. The average transit time of export-import cargoes to recipients was reduced by 5 days and, in general, turned out to be lower than the industry standard. Labor productivity increases by an average of 13% over the five-year target, and the cost of transshipment is reduced by 5.8%.
How did you manage to achieve this? The first and most important thing, according to the head of the port O. Terekhov, is that reserves have been found to reduce the costs of carrying out the same loading and unloading operations. Here it was necessary to change not only and not so much the economics of the port economy, but the psychology of people.
Well, for example, the introduction of a district-free structure, the elimination of the traditional middle level in port management. Was it easy to convince people that without this medium—sized structure — the district, according to the direct "pier - port management" scheme, the work would go better and faster? How is it, some wondered, without district dispatchers? Can you tell me who will make an emergency decision in case of any malfunction or inconsistency? Is it really possible to run to the high authorities for any trifle?
But the whole point is that the dispatchers and district heads did not make important decisions. They performed, for the most part, the functions of a transmission link. If there is a malfunction somewhere, they will inform the "top", they will be asked to allow them such and such actions. They were often reported late, and often, sometimes, in a distorted form. Why? Of course, the same district chief is responsible for any problem — he overlooked it. So he often hid this or that emergency, and if he reported, then anyone was guilty, but not himself. So the administrative system did not so much reveal as hide flaws, slowing down the solution of problems.
Now they've said enough! No one knows their reserves better than the team itself, only they can eliminate certain shortcomings. Let him not count on someone to come and tell him or do it for him, but solve his problems on his own. By using the 1xbet promo code the registration form to get a 100% welcome bonus up to 130$.
