five
major objectives of the industry ur ng Discussion of the first
1. Makeup for plan lags in production and in research and technology
overfulfillment of all parts of the plan
In view of the fulfillment status as of 30 April, every effort must be
made within VVB Flugzeugbau to make up all production plan lags by
30 September 1958. In addition, the individual plants have pledged to
exceed the plan by the end of the year by the following amounts:
Plant 801 3,000,000 DME
Plant 802 1,750,000 DME
Plant 804 500,000 DME
Plant 805 1,120,000 DME
Plant 806 20,000 DME
Plant 8071 660 000 DME
Pledges for additional 2,780,000 DME

Nonfulfillment of the plan for the industry as a whole is due primarily to the lag
in the production of propulsion units (Triebwerksfertigung) at VEB Industriewerke
Karl-Marx-Stadt (IWK), which in turnhas adversely affected output at VEB Flug-
zeugwerke Dresden. The plan lag at Plant 807 is due to production difficulties in
connection with propulsion unit 014. The following pledges have been made for the
fulfillment or overfulfillment of the production plans:
VEB Flugzeu.gwerke Dresden
1. Achieve a seven-day head start (Vorsprung) in all main construction. groups
(Hauptbaugruppen) in order to complete one IL 14 above the plan by the end of
the year.
2. Reduction of the reject rate by 1.2 percent in 1958.
VEB Industriewerke Karl-Marx-Stadt

'laeufe) and type tests of licensed construction (Nachbaumusterprae.fungen)
for all equipment (Geraet) of the IL 14 aircraft. Of importance in this
connection is the completion of the type test (Nachbaumusterpxu;e_fung) of the
Ash 84 T engine, construction phase (Bauzustand) 5.
VEB Maschinen- and Apparatebau Schkeuditz
1. Complete the government aircraft (Regieru.ngsmaschine) and turn it over to the
Flugbetrieb on 15 July 1958 instead of 15 September 1958 as contracted.
2. Deliver two additional IL 14 tail-units (Leitwerke) so that VEB Flugzeugwerke
Dresden can meet its obligations.
3. Deliver three additional sets of Bestuhlungen for the IL 14 by 15 July 1958.

development work is to be made up so that the objectives set forth in the
state plan can be achieved.
3. Save 360,000 DME in foreign exchange by building own special machinery for
the production of TL 014, thereby insuring the plarx ed start of production.
