State defense order slips
First, official information on the progress of the implementation of the state defense order in Russia. Despite the fact that this information was published more than a month ago (there is no new data yet), we can conclude about the trend in terms of the implementation of orders from the state by defense enterprises.
Thus, the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Yury Borisov, during a visit to Primorye Arsenyev, where the Ka-52 Alligator helicopters are being assembled, told reporters that by the end of June, the SDO had been completed by almost 40%. Given the fact that the second half of the year usually brings a greater percentage of sales, it can be concluded that the planned targets can be achieved. Can be achieved, and can and ...
Already after 4 of the day after the announcement of 40% performed by the GOZ, Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov raised the question that there are enterprises in the country whose arrears continue to grow. Among others, for example, the Amur Shipbuilding Plant, which last year, as part of the state defense order, was supposed to hand over two corvettes of the 20380 project, but something went wrong ... It seems that the leadership is new, and the funding has not decreased, and the deadlines moved again.
RIA News cited a statement by Yuri Borisov:
That is, the Defense Ministry speaks in an extremely clear language: by fulfilling the plans of the state defense order on time and without overstating the “tariffs”, the enterprise will continue to receive orders for the creation of military equipment. And this is money, and jobs, and social guarantees, and taxes to the regional and municipal budgets. If the breakdown continues, the answer to the question about the effectiveness of such an enterprise will be unequivocal - with all the ensuing consequences for both the enterprise itself and its workforce, which becomes hostage, to put it mildly, not always clear actions by the management of the enterprise.
What is one of the reasons why enterprises are often unable to fulfill their obligations under a contract with the country's defense ministry? One of the reasons most often stated by enterprise managers looks like this: but what did you want if sanctions were imposed against Russia and we are deprived of the opportunity to purchase components we are interested in in a number of segments of the foreign market.
This reason actually looks very serious. Indeed, the situation in terms of productive trade contacts with the European Union or with the same Ukraine has changed for the worse, and it would be strange not to recognize. However, when the leadership of an enterprise at every step is trying to argue the failure of the state defense order in its segment for exactly this reason, I would like to ask: in 2011, 2012, 2013, too, “sanctions” were to blame? .. So there was no sanction. And the performance of the GOZ on 100% was not there either. How so...
It is worth recalling that in 2011, the percentage of sales of the GOZ barely reached 90%. By 2013, the bar has risen to 93% - after personal intervention in the process of President Vladimir Putin. On the one hand 90-93 percent - a lot. But on the other hand, this suggests that billions of budget funds were suspended in the air without any sanctions if the 7-10% GOZH were not fulfilled on time.
At the same time, the management system of enterprises complained about everything and everyone, stating that the majority of the staff were retired, now excessive wear of machine tools and other equipment, or the absence of any additional subsidies from the state. At the same time, a rare person from the composition of the above-mentioned management system cited himself as one of the main reasons for the failure of contract execution plans. A rare "effective manager" directed the proper amount of money earned by an enterprise to train the same workers and engineering personnel, to upgrade equipment, to a system of incentives for personnel.
When elementary inquiries were received from the educational institutions of primary and secondary vocational education to the management of enterprises engaged in the GOZ system, so that students had the opportunity to do practical work, then a considerable percentage of “effective managers” of a number of enterprises (and these are not empty words, but reality almost the entire post-Soviet period) just waved his hands. There is only one argument: we have enough of our own problems, and here we will still be teaching “your” work. It’s hard to imagine something like that even 30-35 years ago.
And in general, an interesting movie ... How is it possible after such a response to call the lack of personnel as an argument for disruption in time? Where does this enterprise come from in this case? And the state structures simply shrug their hands, saying: well, we can't just take and oblige a private trader to provide an opportunity for students to practice ... But this is one of the real causes of problems with the same state defense order: an enterprise undertakes to fulfill the state order, but it does not take into account the related interests of the state - even for the same training of qualified workers and engineering personnel; and the state itself is also not ready to ask hard. Unless, then the debriefing begins ... When part of the funds has already settled, it is not clear where, and it must be found and returned, but will you return it when, according to the law, “everything is not so simple” with the question of confiscation of property.
From the reporting documentation of one of the enterprises employed in the defense system of the Voronezh Region (ARZ-711) (published in general access mode): education and training of enterprise personnel - 22 thousand rubles, introduction of new technological processes - 34 thousand rubles. Oh, how the management has become generous ... Already 22 thousands per year for staff training. Yes, another cognac leader drinks a large amount per day ...
From the report of the same enterprise for 2013 year: accepted production workers - 46, dismissed production workers - 61. Total accepted - 93, fired - 103. Trend.
Today, this company receives information that "there are orders - there are no spare parts." And again the same argument: sanctions, loss of suppliers.
In this case, we can conclude that the management of such enterprises, initially knowing about the problems with the presence of suppliers, still signs a number of contracts for the execution of certain works with the Ministry of Defense. Well, at least earlier it could be attributed to “Vasilyevschina” and “Serdyukovschina”, and now to whom? .. And this is so in a number of enterprises, one way or another connected with the implementation of the state defense order.
It is clear that there are problems, that there are a lot of them. But in general, the main reason for the breakdowns, it seems, is connected with the responsibility of “effective” managers. There is no responsibility - and the result will show problems, even if the state is ready to allocate substantial sums to the defense industry. They will continue to seek out the extreme anywhere, while forgetting to count themselves ...
And still, we hope that by the end of 2016 for the first time in recent years, the implementation of the state defense order will be 100%. Moreover, there are quite a few enterprises in our country, whose management precisely realizes their responsibility, and who are ready to make every effort so that their prestige is not squandered.
