c. The production departments are subdivided into Mechanical Workshops I and II
and 5 production areas (Prod:uktionsbereiche). various
sections under each of the production areas an the names--of-some of the 50X1-HUM
officials.
Investments. Since the capacity of the plant is not to be expanded, direct 50X1-HUM
investments for 1959 include only 1 trimming press (Abkantpresse) and 1
guillotine'_sheart-1- cr (Schlagschere) 16 2400.
6. Production Program and Plan
a. The production program included the manufacture of complete cement
installations, replacement machinery of all types, and consumer goods.
b. The 1958 production plan was about 72,000,000 DME; this amount included
production by the enterprise itself plus deliveries from many cooperating
enterprises. As of 31 December 1958 it was determined that the Zement-_. -
antagenbau Dessau had realized its production plaia,.insofar 'as its own
production was concerned.
c. The 1959 production plan is 74, 000, 000 DME, of which 1,000,000 DME is
for consumer goods.
Long-Range Planning
As of 1960, a number of enterprises capable of high production are to be
transferred from the General Machine Construction and Heavy Machine Construction
authorities to become Central Enterprises for Chemical Equipment (Zentralbetriebe
fuer chemische Ausruestungen). Two enterprises from the VVB Schwermaschinenbau
and two from the VVB Elektromotorenbau are to be so transferred. The enterprises
of the VVB Schwermaschinenbau are the VEB Zementanlagenbau Dessau and the VEB
Maschenenfabrik Halle. F7arther details on the work to be handled by Dessau in
this new position are given.
8.. Sales
a. Export. Up to 1965, the following orders are to be exported:
Complete cement factories:, 4 to the USSR. 'I to Communist China
Enlargement of existing
cement factory: 1 in Poland
b? Domestic: 1 complete cement factory (location not given).
c. Dessau is encountering many difficulties, both in parts deliveries
and in the 1-redesigning of installations. Cement factories for the
USSR, Communist China, Bulgaria as well as for an East 50X1-HUM
German cement factory at Ruedersdorf, are concerned.

d. Arrears in Exports. As of 30 June 19589 the.enterprise was 229 0009000 DME
in arrears in exports; the amount included 690009000 DME worth of its own
production and the balance from cooperative deliveries. As of 31 December
.1958, the arrears; in its on production had been niade`~ up, and the amount
from cooperative deliveries reduced-to three to four million DME, to be
carried over into the new year.
Production Difficulties. The various types of production difficulties are
discussed briefly;
10. Plan Realization. The 1958 Finance Plan.was 96% realized; there were approxi-
mately 609000 hours' :.idle,
time,a::(Wartessturden)_ ;aid a_aap roxig~ e3v -?.
112,000 hours overtime. In the first quarter'of 19599 the production plan was
only 60% realized; in February, it was 116% realized; the February over-production,
however, was not adequate to compensate for January and efforts were made in
March to realize, the qudr ter plan quota.
11. Economic Conferences and Production Meetings. There were two economic conferences
held in 195 , one concerning the realization of the 1958 Half-Year Plan and the
other, the realization of the 1958 Year'Plan. The general theme of the production
meetings was the introduction of the Seifert Method.
12. Work Productivity. During 1958, work productivity was supposed to have increased
1 ; actually, however, an increase of 6.4% was attained. In 1959, an 11%
increase is supposed to be reached, with the implementation of the Seifert Method.
There is opposition to the Seifert Method on the part of both workers and manage-
ment. Nevertheless, the carrying out of the,Method is Priority Task.No. 1 for
the 1959 Plan Year. Furthermore, along with this Method is the introduction of
the Mamai Method, which involves the scheduling.of the production plan by month,
day, shift, and hour. 50X1-HUM
