WORKPLACE

Time flies. It has been one and half months since I entered
Suntech. During this period of time, I have experienced a lot:
joining the training camp, department introduction and allocation,
equipment and maintenance learning, etc.
As soon as I joined the company, I took two-week induction
training. From the entry ceremony to the introduction of
departmental functions, and then on to the P2 and P3 factory to
learn new things. In these two weeks, I have learned about the
company's business philosophy, the functions of various
departments, the operation mode of the production line, and more.
To be honest, this is very different from what I thought at first. I
thought we would go directly into the according department as A NEWBIE’S

the company did not arrange it this way. This has several Manufacture Department
advantages: It gives us enough time to get used to the company’s Wu Zhaolei
pace and rhythm. Secondly, it deepens our understanding of the JOURNEY
company. And last but not least, getting to know colleagues from
different departments will be of great help in the future. Project Management
The production line is another place different from what I expected. TO SUNTECH Department
I thought that there would be a lot of employees with relatively few Lin Yanzhi
machines along the production line. However, in fact, equipment
accounts for the majority, while the number of employees is quite
small. There are only about 40 employees in the front and back of Going from confusion to a peace of mind, from a small team to a large group: the opening ceremony with the song Suntech Welcomes You and two weeks of

shows that the company has a very high degree of automation. In the first meeting of my new department, my colleagues reported on the project progress, cost analysis and risk analysis, which made me understand the functions
of my department. At the same time, I felt like there was a long way to go. At the end of the first week, I attended the Shanghai SNEC Photovoltaic Exhibition, where I
As a newcomer in the department, I was quite nervous and felt that saw not only the vigorous development of the photovoltaic industry but also the fierce competition between various companies.
I knew little about the company's equipment. However, after some
time I started to clearly see the harmony between colleagues and Only through continuous learning and growth can we stand strong. In the department, the boss and my mentor worked out a thorough training plan for me. For the
leaders: we sit together bragging and chatting, repair equipment production line, I learned the production line process and each standard operation procedure (SOP): from how a cell turns into a module to daily production line, this

Finally, I am honored to join the Suntech family; I am glad to work standard, my mentor took me to a project review meeting. Departments of sales, technology, PM, project and quality all gathered together to review the standards
with my colleagues for the future of Suntech! and requirements set by the customer in the contract. When the customer's standards were not in line with our expected ones, we needed to list the deviation,
negotiate with the customer and revise the contract. When I found I could understand the standards during the project review, the unease about the future work
dissipated a little. The knowledge I have learned now will lay the solid foundation for my future work. I will apply what I have learned in my work and keep learning. I
believe I will become more independent and capable in the future.
