22 years old, young

The wind and rain send spring back, and the snow is coming. After the Lunar New Year, when work resumes, machines roar in the Zhengcun production workshop in Songjiang District, Shanghai. In the workshop, I saw managers and technicians are also busy on site. "Under the epidemic situation, our customers are all over the world, and there is still a certain pressure on the production and delivery of customers' orders. In addition, the arrival rate of personnel and the difficulty of recruiting are also slightly difficult after the Spring Festival, but our company has always adhered to the customer first, The employees in all positions in the factory are working hard to ensure the supply, and they cannot slack off, they will win only if they work hard." A workshop supervisor told me passionately. After listening to his remarks, I also have some feelings about this company that I have worked for for nearly five years in my mind.

Shanghai Zhengcun Rubber & Plastic Industry Co., Ltd. was established 22 years ago. After a few steps, Zhengcun has now developed into a high-quality supplier of rubber products for many Fortune 500 companies. The products cover many fields such as automobiles, household appliances, electric power, aviation and communication. The R&D and production capacity has been steadily enhanced.

The company's growing achievements come from consistently adhering to the correct business philosophy and values. Of course, the values of each enterprise are different. In Zhengcun, serious spirit, obedience consciousness, and innovative thinking are the excellent concepts that Zhengcun people have been adhering to.

1. Serious spirit

Chairman Mao once said that the world is afraid of the word serious. This is also the spirit that Shanghai Zhengcun has always adhered to from top to bottom. In the work, from the grassroots to the managers, it can reflect the serious work of everyone. Cai Yongjin of our mold department is a model of seriousness. He has worked in the company for many years, starting from the grass-roots front-line employees, and now he has been promoted to the manager of the mold department. He has been far ahead in the product qualification rate since he joined the company as an operator. This meticulous spirit is worth learning from. The picture below is a photo of the mold rack managed by Cai Yongjin. Compared with the photo, the text praise is slightly redundant.

The awareness of obedience

Out of the laboratory, there is no high technology, only execution; this is the operating discipline that many manufacturing factories are emphasizing. We often regard factories as battlefields in peacetime, where there are smoke-free business fights, and more importantly, the scene of survival struggles. The manufacturing place of defective and good products, and the customer's experience of using the product all come from this battlefield. Therefore, in the battlefield, we must emphasize an important concept, absolute obedience to work discipline, and efficient execution. The most outstanding performance in this regard is Lu Xijian, the general manager. The company implements one-stop production scheduling, and organizes production scheduling to be accurate per hour. Lu Xijian readily accepted the assignment of work across departments, obeyed the command and guidance of his superiors, worked tirelessly, and resolutely carried out tasks. After a period of hard work, with the help of leaders and colleagues, he gradually implemented the company's new production scheduling concept. Employees are a win-win.

3. Innovative ideas

Today's enterprises are facing the impact of various social factors, and the pressure to survive is gradually increasing. If companies and employees stay in the comfort zone, they will inevitably be annihilated by the market and society. In the lobby of the Zhengcun office building, there is a slogan "Change is the proof of growth". Change is innovation. In the past, we often saw innovation in the company's technology and hardware. In fact, the company has kept pace with the times for so many years, and has been striving to adhere to the innovation of culture and ideas.

After the Spring Festival in 2022, the company will implement a flexible working system. The core working hours of employees are 9:30--15:30, and the rest of the commute time is arranged by the employees. This kind of innovation allows employees to have a wider adjustment space in life and work, and achieve both.

Markets will change, products will become obsolete, and new technologies will continue to emerge, but in good companies, corporate values do not change. The core value of Shanghai Zhengcun is the direction that Zhengcun and its employees will keep moving forward. We will stick to the concept and continue to improve to provide customers with better services and create a happier life for employees.
