Shipping one million tons of freight in cont ainers enables us to free up to 1,5Q0 people from loading and un].oading work. Through the introduction of large unit-capac ity facilities, labo r productivity has - increased two- to four-fold and electric power expend~ture has decreased nearly - eight-fold in the production of weak nitric acid, arnmonia and ethylene. In carry- ~ ing out a CPSU Central Committee resolution, workers in chemical and petroleum ma- chine building zncreased deliveries of comp lete sets of technological lines, instal- _ lations and units 1.8-fold as compared with the Ninth Five-Year Plan. The complete . sets of equipment being supplied are more fully factory-finished, which permits a substantial reduction in installation work a t construction sites. During the five-year period, 224 new tracto rs and pieces of agricultural machinery ~ were developed and the production of 218 wa s mastered, which permits bringing the products list of machinery being produced up to more than 740 items and a substan- tial rise in the technical level of the equipment being delivered to sovkhozes and kolichozes. Assignments on creating and mastering the production of the latest feed procurement and processing equipment, includ ing self-propelled fodder harvesters, highly productive units for artif icially dry ing grasses and preparing reed granules and pelipts, as well as large-capacity organic fertilizer spreaders for K-700 and T-150 tractors, were ~net. The successes in developing machine build ing are determined in considerable measure by the status of the !^.a;;~ ;ne tool building base. More than half the country's mach- ine tools are being used in machine building and metalworking, Comrade Leonid I1'ich Brezhnev, CPSU Central Committ~e General Secretary and USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium Chairman, pointed out the necessity of paying more atten- tion to developing machine tool building at the 25th CPSU Congress. Tt!~ efficiency of machine b�ilding and metalworking, which employ upwards of 40 percent of all the � manufacturing-oroduction personnel in indus t ry, depends largel.y on machine tool building. Machine tool building is the heart of all machine building. It plays a pivotal role in increas~:ng the ef f iciency of machine-building production and , in the f inal analy- sis, of the national economy as a whole. I t is only on the basis of the use of im- proved machine tools, forging, pressing and casting machinery and high-quality toois Chat cve can achieve acceleratsd labor praductivity growth, higher product quality and the introduction of inetal- and energy-saving technology. Our country has available to it a powerful machine tool building and tool industry which annually produces more than 300,000 machine tools, forges, presses and casting machinery. _ In the lOth Five-Year Plan, much work was done in machine tool building to change the structure of ehe equipment being produced, to manufacture the most productive types. For example, given growth in the overaly rel ease of machine too ls of 6.4 percent as compared with the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the production of special, specialized, unit- - ized, high-precision, heavy-duty, single-purpose machine tools, automatic and semi- automatic machines and automated conveyors increased by 25-60 percent and the release 10 � Fnu nFFrc:TAL USE JNLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000300100061-0 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000300104461-4 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY - of machine tuols with nuruerical preset control increased more than two-fold. The production of modern forging, pressing and foundry equipment and tool:~ increased sig�- _ nificantly, and the structure of their release was improved. During the five years of the lOth Five-Year Plan, forging and pressing equipmenC pro- duction increased by 69 percent in value teruis and by 26.9 percent in terms of quan- tity. The release of forging and pressing equipment tu produce precisi~:~n blanks and ~ foundry equipment for low-waste technology had increased 1.6-fold in 1980 as compared with 1976. Domestic industry has mastered the release of machine tools with tool magazines (pro- - cessing centers). The proportion of automated forging and pressing machines in the - total release of inetalworking equipment has increased, and the production of forging and pressing automatic machines and flow lines has increased 1.8-fold. ~ i Our industry has begun producing automatic industrial manipulators with numerical pre- set control (robots) for var.ious purposes. During 1976-1980, upwards of 2,700 automa- tic manipulators c~ere produced. Automatic manipulators play a large role in automat- ing an3 mechanizing technological processes, foremost in machine building. Multipur- pose, computer-controlled automated sectors are being created on a base of robots and technological equipment with numerical preset control. The organization of sec- tors for small-series and series production ensures two- to three-fold labor produc- tivity growth and eliminates monotonous heavy manual Zabor. - The recently adopted CPSU Central Committee and USSR C:,~uncil o� Ministers decree "On Significantly Raising the Technical Level and ~Competitiveness of M2tal.working, Foun- dry and Wood Processing Equipment and Tools" and the CPSU Central ComQnittee decree "On Steps to Increase the Production and Broad Application of Automatic Manipulators ~ in Branches of the Nationa~ Economy in Light of the Instructions of the 25th CPSU ~ Congress" outline continued development of the machine tool and robot building base. These multilevel documents open up a yualitatively new stage in the development of Soviet machine rool building and tool industry and in the development of robot build- i ing. Instrument making and the production of ineans of automation have been developed at high rates here. The industrial release of a number of new-generation computer con- trol complexes and computer-instrument complexes has been begun and mastered. We have organized the production of a number of progressive instruments for monitoring, ; regulating and optimizing technological processes, of analytic ap;.aratus for scien- ~ tific research, and of instruments to ~monitor environmental pollution. We have mas- ' tered numerical preset control systems using microcomputers for metalworking equip- , ment. ' The use of microelectronics in instrument making has been expanded significantly, which has enabled us to significantly improve the operating properties of the items. Production volume increasec: 3.5-fold in the lOth Five-Year Plan for items using mi- croelectronics. In the lOth Five-Year Plan, automotive industry achieved significant successes. The release of motor vehicles with diesel motors increased nearly two-fold, which pro- vided the national economy with a considerable fuel savings. Much work is being done on creating new types of trucks and passenger cars, buses and loaders. 11 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000300100061-0 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000300104461-4 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY ~ At the same time, our main attention has been focused on increasing the economy of uper,lt.ion and productiveness of ineans of motor transport by continuing to expand the - production of vehicles with diesel motors, developing the production of truck trail- _ ers and specialized transport, increasing load capacity, reliability and durability, and also by reducing the labor intensiveness of vehicle repair and technical serviC~ , in~; . Considerable work has been done on developing construction, road and municipal ser- vices machine building. A series of highly productive machines has been created to ' mechanize the labor of construction workers. At enterprises of machine building for light and food industry, particular atten- ~ tion is being paid to developing and producing highly efficient machine systems which , permit the overall mechanization and automation of a11 production processes, from processing raw material to producing wrapped or packed finished products. Ways have been outlined for further developing this br3nch, and we have significantly increased - the production and raised the technical level of machines and equipment for light and food industry. All machine-building ministries have done a great deal of work on expanding and up- ~ dating the assortment of consumer goods, on ensuring that they are produced in amounts ! which meet the needs of the population. Problems.associated with increasing production efficiency and work quality in all _ branches of machine building, and foremost those concerning ensuring high rates of ~ labor productivity growth, merit intense scrutiny. One very important prerequisite ' is to develop the production of and to introduce extensively means of inechanization, and foremost for jobs involving difficult working conditions. Res~~~tion of this task is not just a social and economic problem, but also a most importan~ political one , ~ _ The CPSU Central Committee and USSR Council of Ministers properly set th~2 task se- veral years ago of creating a machine-building base for significantly ::educing low- productivity manual labor. Certain work has been done along these ~ines, but the le- - vel of inechanization of lift-transport, loading-unloading and warenousing remains low. We are currently wo~king out a comprehensive program for developin~.g the mechanization and automation of these jobs for 1981-1985 which will anticipate correcring existing shortcomings in this area. The introduction of new equipment is closely linked to solving the problem of improv- ing the quality, reliability and durability of the machines and equipment being pro-- _ duced. This is a complex, multilevel task. It must be resolved with consideration of technical, organizational, economic and social aspects. Only if this is done will the task of improving the quality of machine-building output be carried out success- fully. _ Machine-building enterprises still continue to manufacture some machinery and equip- ment whic.h does not meet modern requirements in terms of design, productivity, eco- ~ nomy and reliability of operation. It is therefore the foremost conr_ern of the min- istries, associations and enterprises to meet the assignments established for signi- ficantly increasing the proportion of output in the highest quality category, increas- ing the service life of machinery, equipment and instruments. 12 FOR nFFZCIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000300100061-0 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000300104461-4 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY - At the November (1979) CPSU Central Committee Plenum, Comrade L. I. Brezhnev said: "Metallurgy and machine building remain an object of special c~ncern. In spite of the enormous scope of inetal production, we continue to have not enough." The struggle to ~ave metal is being waged on a broad front in our ~untry. Participating in it are both the metallurgists in*_roducing highly efficient T: :w technological processes and progressive assortments of rolled metal products and ?~achine build~rs which are suc- ceeding in reducing the metals-intensiveness of the output being produced. Machine builders have done considerable work on reducing the ~pECif ic metals-inten- siveness of machine-building output tractors, turbines, diesel locomotives, motor vehicles. Still, the developers of machinery have large reserves for saving metal, - The coefficient of rolled fer~ous metals use in machine buildi.ng has not dropped sub- stantially in recent years. One reason is imperfections in the technological pro- cesses of inetalworking, the predominance of cutting methods as opposed to various methods of casting and working metals with pressure, and the slow introduction of - welded metal components. Implementation of all the tasks set will require constant improvement in management of the socialist economy. Our party is paying a great deal of attention to this ques- tion. The measures outlined in the CPSU Central Committee and USSR Council of Ministers de- cree " On Improving Plan.ning asd Strengthening the Influence of the Economic Mechanism on Imp roving Production Efficiency and Work Quality" have occupied an important place in the implementation of this task. The machine-building ministries are doing consi- derable work on carrying them out. In actualizing the indicated decree, extensive use has been made of the results of economic experiments conducted in the lOth Five- Year P lan on introducing new forms of cost accounCing (Ministry of Instrument Making, Automation Equipment and Control Systems, Ministry of Heavy and Transport Machine Building, Ministry of ~ Tractor and Agricultural Machine Building, Ministry of Power Machine Building and Ministry of Electrical Equipment Industry), planning and record- ing the growth rates of production volume and labor productivi.ty using the indicator of normative net output (Ministry of Heavy and Transport Machine Building and Minis- try of Power Machine Building), stimulating the acceleration of technical progress (Ministry of Electrical Equipment Industry) and others. _ Scient ific research, planning-design and technological organizations of all the mach- ine-bu ilding ministries have already been transferred to the new system of planning, financing and economic incentives for work on new equipment. At p--esent, the minis- tries are working on transferring these organizations to calculations based on work fully completed and accepted by the customer, instead of payment for work in stages. The country's machine builders engaged very enthusiastica].ly in the socialist compe- _ tition for a worthy greeting to the 26th CPSU Congress. Leading production workers, collec t ives, brigades, shops, enterprises, organizations and associations took on y higher socialtst obligations and are responding with deeds to the resolution.s o� the _ June and October (1980) CPSU Central Committee Plenums and the CPSU Central Commit- tee dec ree "On Socialist Competition for a Worthy Greeting to the 26th CPSU Congress." The high labor incandescence of the competition is having a profound influence on the ~ country's economic life and is helping to improve the efficiency of the economy, to increase Iabor productivity, 13 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000300100061-0 APPR~VED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000300100061-0 FOR OFFICIAL U5E ONLY Tn order to more fully meet the national economic demand for machine-building outpuC ~ anci ensure that materials, fuel, energy and lab'or resources are saved in every way possible, the plan for 1981, the �irst year of the llth Five-Year Plan, anticipates: , preferential growth in the release of highly productive, economical types t~~ ti~~ch~ ines 3nd equipment and of equipment most needed by the national economy; ; the extensive introduction of scientific and. technical achievements into produc- tion; the more effective use of tre materials, labor and financial resources allocated; further resolution of the social tasks set by the party and government for the Soviet , people in the area of machine building. ' Based on the available materia~ resources and on the maximum use of p::`oduction capa- cities for producing types of output in especially short supply, the volume of mach- - ine-building and metalworking output produced in 1981 will be increased by 6.1 per- - - cent. We plan the greatest growth for production of agricultural machinery and equipment f or stockraising and feed production, equipment for power engineering and electrifi- _ cation, machine tools, forging and pressing machines, instruments and means of auto- i mation. ~ The volume of production of spare parts for machine-building autput is to be increased with consideration of maximum use of production capacities. For a majority of types of output, the growth rate in spare parts production will outstrip the growth in pro- duction of corresponding machines and equipment. , We anticipate considerable improvement in the production structure, aimed at prefer- ential growth in the more efficient, better machines and equipment. Work will continue on reducing the release of obsolescent equipment to a minimum. Simultaneously, the proportion of output in production for less than f ive years will increase for many types of equipment. _ = One of the most important directions in developing machine building is the release - of machines and equipment which ensure savings in organic fuel. Considerable atten- tion is paid in the draft plan to the production of equipment for nuclear power plants, hydraulic turbines, hot-water recovery units and power-technological units operated on recovered energy resources, and more productive mining equipment. We intend to develop and master modern new metallurgical machines and high unit- power units which will ensure improvement in the quality of inetal output and a broader assortment of that output. . We anticipate increasing the production of progressive machines and equipment for rail rolling stock. We will produce more new mainline diesel locomotives with highly economical four-stroke diesels. We plan to produce the first industrial-series 8,000-hp two-section freight diesel locomotives, which will have improved operating indicators. We plan to increase the proportion of new and more progressive types of mainline all- - metal, large-body, high load-capacity freight cars and special cars for hauling food and chemical products. 1~.

The release of new�machinery for stockrais- ing and feed production will be increased significantly. In electrical equipment industry, we are increasing the release of progressive mach- ines, equipment and assembly components, and production will grow as unit capacity increases. - 15 FOR OFFICIAL USE OI~TLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000300100061-0 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-00850R000300144461-0 FOR OFFICIAL USE ON~,Y _ We plan to improve the construction equipment production structure. In particular, the release of hydraulic-drive excavators with bucket capacities of 0.65 to 2.4 cu- bic meters will increase by 6.4 percent. 1'articular attention has been paid to cantinued growth in the production of high unit~ - and load-capacity bulldozers and pipelayers. Much attention is being paid to increasing the economy and productivity of ineans of motor transport through the continued expansion of vehicles with diesel motors, de- _ veloping the production of truck trailers and speciali2ed transport, increasing op- _ - erating 5peeds, load capacity, reliability and durability, as iaell as reducing the labor intensivei:ess of repair and technical servicing. ` - We plan to continue increasing the release of progressive technological equipment for light industry, with hi.gher speed parameters and a higher level of automation. - The proportion of those capital investments for machine building being directed into developing power, heavy and transport machine building, electrical equipment indus- ` try, agricultural machine building, machine tool industry and the specialized produc- tion facilities for general machine-building application is increasing. In order to carry out the 1981 social ~tasks, we anticipate producing items which im- prove the availability of ineans of transport to the population, equipment for enter- prises of the services sphere, and machinery which makes labor easier. The produc- tion of cultural and personal-services goods and household items is to increase by 5.9 percent in 1981 as compared with 1980. - The 1981 ecanomic and social development plan for machine building will facilitate the continued development of creative forces and capability in the Iabor collectives and will ensure solid prerequisites for further improving the efficiency and quality of machine=builder work in the llth Five-Year Plan. The basic directions of national economic development in the 11th Five-Year Plan which have been published in the press for nationwide discussion provide an accurate picture of the development of domestic machine building in the five-year period ahead. As during past five-year plans, machine building is given a special role in the tech- nical equipping of the national economy. The country's machine builders have a full opportunity to carry out with honor the tasks being eritrusted to them.
