Current Problems of Planning Specialization in Machine Building

In all the stages of building socialism, the Communist Party and the Soviet government have directed and continue to direct the development of our industry along the path of specialization and cooperation. The latter are becoming increasingly important for the growth and the improvement of socialist production. A program of further development of specialization and cooperation was formulated at the 20th Congress of the CPSU. On the basis of the thoroughgoing studies of the present situation of specialization and cooperation and with consideration of the requirements of advanced technology and the new, larger scales of production, the Party and the government proposed a number of important measures regulating the specialization of existing enterprises, creating new specialized plants and shops of mass production of semi-fabricates, parts, units, and aggregates.
