Sweat profusely
Due to the large workload, all management personnel and employees in the workshop fought together on the front line, launching a series of "human gray wars". The rise in summer temperatures has caused family members to sweat profusely during homework, with sweat droplets rolling down. Despite the cooling effect of the fan, it still has no effect. Especially for people in the power department, when welding is needed, there is a lot of fire and the temperature around them is rubbing and rising.
Throughout the entire "big battle" process, all cadres and employees in the workshop have always been fearless of hardship, fatigue, and dirt. After nearly a month of hard work, the cleaning of the workshop water tank has been carried out in an orderly and smooth manner, providing assurance for the normal operation of production.
Fruitful
According to the self statistics of each workshop, the acceptance of 249 water tanks was completed in this activity, with 2285 improvements related to various types of water tanks. The water tank problems have been significantly improved, the on-site management of the workshop has been significantly improved, and employee participation has continued to rise. At the same time, it is inseparable from the strong support of the people in the power department that our improvement efficiency can be completed in a timely manner.
