Is it supposed to vp mo enterprise machines. military representation

Often on the Internet you can find a discussion regarding certain types of acceptance, which are marked with the numbers 5 or 9. On the websites of manufacturers of certain types of products, in particular radio electronics, it is indicated that their products are tested according to the requirements set by the Ministry of Defense. Let's try to understand and understand acceptance 5, what it is and when it is applied.

What is "military" acceptance and its differences from the standard

Military acceptance is a well-established system for maintaining the required quality of products manufactured for the military and partly for the civilian sector, when it comes to dual-use products. Their main consumer and General Customer is the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

In order to ensure such work, at enterprises producing a certain range of products, at the expense of the financing of the Moscow Region, representative offices of the customer independent of the manufacturer are created or military representatives are sent. Their activities are regulated by a special Regulation approved by Government Decree No. 804 of August 11, 1995. At the same time, the form of ownership or departmental subordination of the plant does not matter, the only important thing is that these plants develop, manufacture, supply, and also dispose of military products.

Lists of controlled items are compiled annually on the basis of State Defense Order contracts concluded with enterprises. Military products are:

military equipment;
weapons of various types;
military-technical, as well as other property;
documentation and products of a scientific and technical nature;
work that is carried out in the interests of increasing the defense capability of the state.

The representative of the customer (military representative) accompanies the entire process of creating a device or part from drawing up a technical specification to using it for its intended purpose. Not only the end result is important, but also all the intermediate stages along the chain of cooperation of different organizations: materials, parts, components. The Ministry of Defense monitors compliance with standards and specifications, the completeness of tests and reliability tests, the reasonableness of prices and actual costs.

All product parameters, the procedure for acceptance, packaging, marking, shipment are specified in the technical specifications. The tests prescribed in the technical specifications are carried out by the plant on its own equipment and by the forces of its employees. If the enterprise is not able to provide the required quality of the goods, then the military representative has the right to suspend the verification process for an indefinite period until the causes are identified and the deficiencies are eliminated. In addition, the representative of the Ministry of Defense controls the orders of other departments (FSB, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Roscosmos, Ministry of Emergency Situations, FSO, Rosatom) and takes part in activities aimed at protecting state secrets.

Since Soviet times, the attitude towards products manufactured by order of the Ministry of Defense differed from the usual "civilian". First of all, this concerned issues of quality, durability and the ability to endure increased loads of various kinds. Since many issues related to the "defense industry" were classified, there are a great many opinions about the specific decoding of certain abbreviations and digital indices. Where did the famous acceptance 5 come from?

Many commentators on specialized forums, in particular, argue that in the USSR, at first, a number in an asterisk indicated a special acceptance, and later in a rhombus:

1 - standard QCD check;
2 - control of quality control department with additional climatic tests;
5 in the square - QCD check for products that have not passed military acceptance;
5 in a rhombus - military acceptance (VP);
7 - the same as the previous one, but with climatic tests;
9 - OS, which can be deciphered as "special series", or OSM ("special series small"). Some experts argue that the OS indicates a special stability in functioning. This type of verification is most often tied to the nuclear industry.

According to the results of climatic tests, the corresponding marking was also added: V - all-weather version, U - moderate, T - tropical, UHL - moderately cold version.

All these icons can be seen on some old semiconductors, microcircuits or lamps for electrical appliances. For products used in the manufacture of MO products, a longer warranty period for uninterrupted operation is often applied, for example, at least five years instead of the standard three. At the same time, in rocket and space technology, on the contrary, the duration of operation can be lower, since the device is forced to operate under conditions of hard ionization radiation.

Usually, additional tests or technological operations can be added to the traditional acceptance by the technical control department, aimed at stabilizing certain parameters of the products. The customer can prescribe special requirements for standard products manufactured by the plant in the technical documentation. For example, use not a plastic case, but a metal or ceramic case, use a sapphire substrate and gold leads, pump nitrogen into the cavity, rather than simple air. The tolerance limits are set narrower, the selection for quality is very strict. More often, continuous control of products is used; selective control is permissible only for some tests.

On the website of the PROTON Plant, it is indicated that acceptance 5 or military acceptance can be ordered in order to additionally guarantee high quality. These activities involve, in addition to inter-operational and final control, also the participation of a military representative, as an independent expert, during particularly important operations or key stages of the order manufacturing process, as well as in the preparation of documentation.

What additional requirements apply to military products

There is little information on specific additional tests required for military acceptance, so we can conclude that this list is formed by the customer and the manufacturer based on the type, purpose and intended place of operation of the product. For example, the Dupan instrument-making company, whose main products are control panels for special equipment, in the section "Acceptance 5. Military acceptance" indicate such qualities of their product as resistance to a number of adverse operating conditions:

acoustic noise;
sinusoidal vibration;
repeated mechanical shocks with acceleration;
low atmospheric pressure, in particular during air travel;
precipitation (snow, rain, hail), including condensed precipitation (dew, frost);
temperature fluctuations ranging from -70 degrees to +100 degrees;
short-term heating up to 600 degrees;
exposure to dust, sand, sea (salt) fog;
aggressive media (ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide);
coolants (antifreeze), fuels and lubricants.

At the same time, the company's website itself indicates that special equipment is completed for acceptance 5, and military acceptance is highlighted separately. Warranty periods vary greatly: from the standard 1 year, up to 6 years for customer orders, and even up to 12 years for the military-industrial complex.

Although some experts point out that military acceptance often does not involve any special tests, but lies in the fact that at all stages of manufacturing products, their production is controlled by a military representative specially assigned to the enterprise. So, in particular, in the official publication of the Federal Agency for Metrology and Technical Regulation regarding the acceptance and quality control of interactive electronic repair and operational documents, there are rules governing relations between the manufacturer and the Ministry of Defense.

In particular, several notes indicate that when developing a technological product commissioned by the DoD, military representatives should be involved in all processes related to quality control, if this is part of their official authority. In other cases, their obligations and rights are determined by a special protocol included in the general contract documentation and signed by the customer and supplier. In addition, an employee of the military representation of the Ministry of Defense necessarily coordinates the protocol of the first check, and the second check is generally carried out by military representatives or organizations that are authorized by the defense department.

Due to the use of better and more durable materials, additional tests, small-scale production practices, the cost of products for the military-industrial complex often far exceeds the price of civilian goods of the same type.

In order to prevent unreasonable price increases, military representatives or customer services monitor all aspects of creating a product, taking into account labor costs, the number of man-hours needed for their development and production, and the cost of resources used.

Revision of the document, taking into account
changes and additions prepared
JSC "Kodeks"

The official quality standard "acceptance 5" is approved by the Government of the Russian Federation in accordance with the provisions of Federal Law No. 213-FZ "On the State Defense Order". To date, the quality category "acceptance 5" is assigned to products, the technical and operational characteristics of which require their use in ground, marine and aviation equipment for military purposes and dual use. The degree of compliance with the declared characteristics of such products is determined by a special set of stricter standards and is confirmed by the relevant regulatory and technical documentation.

In addition to “acceptance 5”, the state classifier of standards of the Russian Federation includes a number of quality categories that products intended for use in civil, military and space technology must comply with. For example: acceptances from 1 to 3 - civil sphere, acceptance 6 - water transport and equipment, acceptance 7 and 8 - aircraft, acceptance 9 - space and nuclear technology. The most common of those listed is “acceptance 1”, which is also the acceptance of the “Quality Control Department” (technical control department). If products that have passed the Quality Control Department, as a rule, are not used in the military industry, then products with "acceptance 5", on the contrary, are actively used in the civilian sphere.

Products with ordinary civil acceptance (OTC) differ significantly from products standardized in category "acceptance 5". The technical control department is a subdivision of an enterprise whose task is to check the product characteristics established by this enterprise and confirm them in the product passport or a document replacing it. In turn, the fifth acceptance is carried out in accordance with the requirements for military equipment, dual-use products, as well as special equipment of the military-industrial complex, which are established at the state level. Tests for the fifth acceptance are longer and are carried out in specialized certified laboratories. Therefore, products with "acceptance 5" are distinguished by an exceptional degree of reliability and high functional characteristics in particularly difficult operating conditions - negative temperature, vibration, high humidity, etc.

It goes without saying that the level of requirements for the performance properties of products imposed by the QCD and "acceptance 5" is not comparable. If for the same products, such as semiconductors, the QCD imposes requirements established by the enterprise, then “acceptance 5” is carried out according to a separate set of significantly tightened standards provided for by law and presented by the “Customer”. Obviously, "acceptance 5" means increased reliability and functionality of products, compared with products of the OTK quality category.

With a hundred-fold reduction in production, the number of those supervising it not only has not decreased, but may even increase. What budget can withstand such a load? The plant of high-voltage electronic components "Progress" (Ukhta city) is just one example, but, alas, not the only one. You don't have to go far. At the Ukhta oil refinery, owned by LUKOIL, under a possible, but never concluded contract for the supply of fuel for the needs of the Ministry of Defense, military acceptance staffs were pre-formed at the enterprise - three employees headed by an officer. There is no contract, but the controllers are in place, the salary is dripping, the experience is going on ... And if we take it on a national scale? It is not surprising that debit and credit from the state do not converge.

“If things go at such a pace, the Military Acceptance Department will approach half of the actual composition of the country's Armed Forces in size”
The editors of the "VPK" got a draft document "Justification of proposals" to increase the state of military acceptance at the enterprise LLC "Plant of High-Voltage Electronic Components" Progress ". Outwardly, everything is in shape, beautiful and convincing: production is expanding, customer requirements are tightening, as a result, the available staff can no longer cope with the increased volume of work. It is unlikely that anyone "at the top" will double-check such a document, which means that the states will most likely be increased. Although it would be worth it for the “tops” to delve into the essence of the issue.

What is the company in question? It has 150 employees and is small in terms of income. It produces products put into series in the 60-70s of the last century. No more than 20 thousand products are produced per month with a production cycle of 45 to 120 days. For reference: in 2003, the enterprise had one civilian representative of the EaP, who received products for the needs of the defense industry.

Times have changed, the staff of the EaP has been slowly growing - both with a slight increase in production volumes, and even with their decline. It would be nice if there were more controllers because there was a marriage at the enterprise, the technology was violated, delivery times were disrupted. But no. And the quality complies with the specifications, and the deadlines are not violated, and the technology has been worked out for a long time, and the enterprise is certified according to all standards. There are practically no complaints - out of almost seven million products produced over the past 12 years, only 12 (twelve!) have been returned, and that is not due to marriage.

With the arrival at the enterprise in the recent 2014 of another military representative, Major Kuzminykh, the staff of the VP grew to five people, while production volumes decreased by 22 percent over the same year. And for 2016, it is planned to more than double the staff of the EaP - up to 12 people. Actually, this is what the above reasoning is about.

The document contains figures that simply scream that military acceptance is flooded with an ever-increasing shaft of products that require vigilant attention (Table 1).

Now the question is: do the given figures scream the truth? Let's figure it out. At its peak production in 1990-1992, the plant produced more than two million items per month, over 25 million per year. More than six thousand denominations, among them products with special quality control. About 3,500 people worked at the plant at that time, several workshops and divisions functioned. At the same time, the staff of the VP was a maximum of 10 people (one officer and civilian personnel).

Therefore, it is worth bringing another table built on the data of objective accounting - tax, accounting, production (table 2).

And it turns out that with a drop in volumes since 1990 by two orders of magnitude, the planned staff of the EaP in 2016 will exceed the staff of Soviet times.

A comparison of the two tables shows how the real picture is distorted and distorted. Question: for what lofty purposes is this being done?

As follows from the analysis of the justification and its comparison with the real picture, the head of the military acceptance, Major Kuzminykh, is engaged in distorting and manipulating figures, misleading the higher leadership, in other words, forgery. One can guess about the goal: a larger staff means an increase in the position, rank, budget. Under this case, indicators are falsified, outright lies are also used. It consists, say, in the fact that "the enterprise is the only manufacturer in Russia of high-voltage ceramic capacitors and zinc oxide varistors." At the plant, where the "Military-Industrial Courier" turned for clarification, they said: this is not true. The enterprise is not included in the lists of sole suppliers and is not actually one. Another example. The "Substantiation of Proposals" says that the plant "is the executor of the state defense order." In fact, ZVEK Progress has never entered into government contracts and is not part of the cooperation, as it is interpreted in the new version of the 275th federal law.

The documents (804PP), which are guided by parallel (additional) inspectors, contain a figure: 1 percent of the production volume of the enterprise goes to the maintenance of military acceptance.

One percent for the maintenance of controllers, who in most cases - especially for picking enterprises - are not responsible for anything. The real demand comes only from the enterprise and its economic management.

It turns out that, in addition to other taxes, the company pays additional taxes - that same 1 percent for the maintenance of military representatives. But if an economic entity directly or indirectly pays tax, it has the right to be interested: where, for what needs and how effectively this money is spent? And if the company has no problems with quality, shipping time and other indicators, is it justified to increase the staff of controllers?

If things go at such a pace, then logically, for all 40,000, according to expert estimates, small enterprises that are suppliers to the defense industry, one, or better, two officers and ten civilian specialists should be appointed. Then the Office of Military Acceptance in terms of numbers will approach half of the actual composition of the Armed Forces of the country.

There are already examples of companies where 300 specialists work for the state defense order, and the number of military representatives is 53 people. And an enterprise with a staff of 70 employees contains 12 controllers from the VP.

It would probably be more honest if the major simply wrote: "I want to retire as a lieutenant colonel." The right word, for the budget, this would be a much smaller loss than doing everything according to the established rules for obtaining an officer's sinecure.
