On the basis of archive materials the analysis of activity of the head of the Kyshtym mechanical plant V. I. Salnikov and the director of the Chelyabinsk plant of Kolyushchenko I.A. Malashkevich is carried out. Operational performance, production and technological discipline and a manufacturing and technological defect of the plants are taken as a basis of a research. The personnel policy and a problem with discipline was the main complexity of both plants. Measures were taken is declarative and did not result in concrete results that resulted in a large number of marriage, failures of production targets not only in shops, but also at the plants in general. Often security officers had to interfere with production chaos and prosecutor’s office. Such results could not but affect further career of heads: actually the first heads of the enterprises were doomed to condemnation under the political articles in spite of the fact that their defects had purely economic character.
