NO.3 & NO.4 Teams
In a rapidly changing social environment, an efficient team is an indispensable factor for success. The mutual help, cooperation and
learning from each other among team members will lay a good foundation for their own and collective development. In this big family,
team building can not only improve the professional quality of personnel, but also play an important role in improving the image of the
factory.
There are such active engineering teams in the production department No. 3 and No. 4. In the past half year, these departments
switched the product line many times, trying to meet the demand for shipment of orders. Switching and maintenance often require
personnel to enter into the machine for operation, replace laminated leather and vacuum pumps, and the worker’s clothes are often wet
with sweat. Frequent switching is time-consuming and labor-intensive. There are also disputes during the switching, such as how to
shorten the switching time, how to optimize the switching process, and through these discussions continuous progress will be made.
Each time they will summarize the process after the switch, and though they are tired they are all happy and satisfied and enjoy the
team success together.
Due to some uncontrollable factors of the production materials, like a change from monocrystalline to polycrystalline, from double
auxiliary to single auxiliary, the material switched almost every other shift. The color of the cell has to be switched back and forth many
times every day, sometimes a shift changes colors 24 times, sometimes a shift switches 42 small orders. Frequent switching is common
for cell manufacturers, and the consumption of welding tape is 117 rolls a day. Facing a series of tedious actions, such as dismantling,
unloading, loading, welding, throwing, and point-to-point, the team members never complained, but made their best efforts to reduce
productivity losses, and the tenacity affected everyone in the team. They just joked around with each other and said they lost weight
again again today.
Because they switched the product line so many times, the daily greeting became: Have you switched today? Hearing this, they felt
happy but also had no other choice. What they can do is put all their effort to work again with tired smiles on their faces.
We believe that under the guidance of all our leaders, the tangent speed will be more and more optimized, and the equipment anomalies
caused by tangent will be less and less, in order to improve the data to achieve the goal. Let’s do our best!
