Chapter 41 Advanced Worker Nomination and Best IDEAL

After lunch, while Li Xiaofan continued to operate two second-generation test machines alone, Lin Qianxue came back to the workshop for inspection.

She came to Li Xiaofan's side, observed quietly for a while, and came over and said: "Wow, Li Xiaofan, you are amazing, one person can do the work of two people!"

"Officer, it's a pity that your Ximu Electronics Factory didn't give me double wages!" Li Xiaofan smiled bitterly.

"Haha, don't be anxious. Don't you have a saying in mainland China: Gold will always shine!"

"You are asking for a horse to run fast, but not giving it more grass!"

Lin Qianxue laughed: "Haha, I'm going to feed your dark horse more grass soon!"

After laughing, she asked: "Has our production and manufacturing department boss come this morning?"

"Are you talking about the Black Bao Gong?"

"Black Bao Gong?"

"That's Zheng Zaisheng!"

Lin Qianxue suddenly realized: "Haha, you actually called our boss Black Bao Gong, you're dead if he finds out!"

"Well, Black Bao Gong has been here! When he came, it was like the devils entering the village, it was scary!"

"Haha! Li Xiaofan, let me tell you a good news first!"

"Good news?"

"Just now, the boss, Manager Zheng, met me and told me that he had approved my nomination and was going to report it to MD for the final decision after signing!"

"Nomination? What nomination?" Li Xiaofan asked puzzled.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that I have nominated you as the best employee of the Westwood Electronics Factory recommended by the Manufacturing Department this month!"

The monthly selection of the best employee is a common practice of the Westwood Electronics Factory in Singapore. The person in charge of each workshop recommends one, and then the manager of the Manufacturing Department reviews and selects one. Finally, together with a large number of departments such as the QA Quality Assurance Department, Engineering Department, Raw Materials Department, Sales Department, and Administration Department, each department recommends a candidate, and the MD of the factory is asked to review and finally circle the best employee of the whole factory for the month.

MD is a position, the abbreviation of Managing Director in English, which means Managing Director, and is the boss of the entire Westwood Electronics Factory in Singapore.

The MD of the Westwood Electronics Factory in Singapore where Li Xiaofan is located is Saburo Inabe, who comes from the Tokyo headquarters and is also the boss of the entire Westwood Electronics Group Singapore branch.

Inabe, a very strange surname. The ancestors of the Japanese used to live in places surrounded by farmland, so their surnames were all named according to their living environment. For example, Matsushita, Tanaka, Nakajima, Takahashi, but this surname Inabe, Li Xiaofan heard of it for the first time.

On the first working day of every month, after breakfast, the factory will hold a brief meeting of all employees for about half an hour in the big restaurant. The main content is to listen to the speech of MD Saburo Inabe, and then hold a simple ceremony to commend the best employees of the month in the factory.

On the spot, the MD will give the best employee an envelope with a red envelope containing about 500 Singapore dollars. In addition to the red envelope, the winner can generally be promoted within half a year.

The monthly best employee is a great honor for all workers in Ximu Electronics Factory, which is equivalent to the monthly advanced production worker in domestic factories!

In addition to the 500 Singapore dollar bonus, the most attractive thing for low-level workers like Li Xiaofan is the promotion. The promotion is not just a matter of basic salary. The most important thing is that after your hourly salary goes up, your large amount of 1.5-2 times overtime pay will rise accordingly, and the overtime pay will rise even more sharply.

The monthly excellent employee quota is fiercely competitive in the factory every month, and the competition for this recommendation quota in the manufacturing department alone is also fierce.

Generally, each workshop recommends a candidate and attaches the employee's "advanced deeds" to the head of the production and manufacturing department, Zheng Zaisheng, for review. He will select one and recommend it to the MD for final decision.

Li Xiaofan now understands why this "Black Bao Gong" was so free this morning to come to the workshop to "visit" him, and he also stared at the work badge on his chest several times.

"Oh, thank you so much, Officer! What is the probability of this recommendation being successful?"

"Don't be polite, the boss, Manager Zheng, appreciates you very much, keep working hard! As for the probability, it's hard to say, anyway, we have tried our best!"

...

After the tea break at 3 pm, Lin Qianxue gathered all the workers in the electrical test workshop in the test workshop for a short meeting.

Earlier, she reported the recent comprehensive KPI performance data of the three groups and the recent work precautions.

Then she reported the adoption of "IDEA" this month.

"IDEA" is a work improvement suggestion system of Ximu Electronics Factory, a tradition from the Tokyo headquarters. Every month, the factory asks each worker to write an "IDEA" to propose various small suggestions for improving work and machine operation efficiency. The more the better. If adopted, each one will be rewarded with 2 SGD.

For example, when moving circuit boards, you can suggest putting a few foam-like soft objects in each turnover box to support it, so as to reduce the friction and scratches between the surfaces during the circulation process. This is a very good "IDEA" to reduce product damage. For example, when taking a tea break, those non-essential workshop offices can turn off the lights, which is also a very good energy-saving "IDEA"...

Of course, these opinions cannot be repeated. Finally, these "IDEAs" are summarized to the engineering department, and a special person will review the rationality and uniqueness and archive them.

The data of this "IDEA" is also recorded in the employee's performance file, and will be used as one of the bases for promotion in the future, but of course it is not the most important factor.

In Li Xiaofan's impression, the workers in Singapore and Malaysia are generally honest and obedient, and they work in a methodical manner, so it is a big problem to ask them to put forward suggestions for improving efficiency, and it is more difficult to put forward suggestions later, because the suggestions that should be put forward have been put forward by everyone before.

The "IDEA" data proposed by each workshop and each group in the production and manufacturing department will be posted on the wall for ranking. Units whose "IDEA" is not adopted will be criticized, indicating that the department has not conducted in-depth research on improving the work efficiency of the unit.

After rebirth, when Li Xiaofan filled out the "IDEA" form in the workshop again, he remembered the Next IDEA Tencent Innovation Competition that he had helped his friend's children participate in in his previous life...

Lin Qianxue happily announced: "This month, the number of IDEAs in our workshop ranks first in the entire production and manufacturing department, for the first time in history! Among them, the employee with the highest number of adopted IDEAs is: Li Xiaofan! All of his 50 IDEAs were adopted by the engineering department! This is not only an honor for Li Xiaofan personally, but also an honor for our entire electrical testing workshop..."

Before she finished her words, the workers below applauded!

Oh shit, it's so awesome, all of them were adopted!

Oh my god, fifty copies, 100 SGD reward! All of them were adopted!

Oh my god, this guy is awesome, what a great guy!

Li Xiaofan laughed secretly below, if there was no upper limit of 100 SGD reward per month, I could have made more suggestions for improvement. In his previous life, he had worked in this workshop for four years, and finally became a team leader. Later, he worked as a workshop director in a domestic circuit board factory and also acted as an agent for these test machines. He knew the operation of the entire workshop, which links and details needed to be improved too clearly!

Anyway, you can get 100 SGD for free by filling out 50 IDEA forms every month, how cool! This 100 SGD was higher than the monthly income of an ordinary employee in China at that time.
