Preface

“Dedication” is easy to talk about but hard to put into practice. As Einstein once said, “A person’s value should be measured by what he has contributed, not by what he has achieved.” In 2018, at Jinbang Company, there was a group of people who worked diligently and devoted themselves wholeheartedly. This spirit of loyal, reliable, and down-to-earth dedication is exactly what our manufacturing industry needs. Thanks to them, our colleagues have more role models to learn from; thanks to them, the company moves forward with greater stability; and thanks to such employees, our enterprise thrives and prospers.

We will publish, in installments and on an ongoing basis, profiles of the outstanding employees of 2018.

Looking ahead to 2019, we hope that everyone will be motivated and strive for excellence, achieving extraordinary results through ordinary efforts. Let us work together to improve our production, expand our sales, optimize our management, and enhance our efficiency.

Let us join forces and strive together, working hard for a brighter future for Jinbang!

This issue highlights the exemplary achievements of outstanding employees at Gaoming.

A order-follow-up specialist who builds up their capabilities through day-to-day tasks.

She joined Jinbang in December 2011 and is now a production coordinator at the Gaoming plant. Starting with simple tasks like order intake, reconciliation, and invoicing, she later learned workshop scheduling, and now handles newly assigned overall coordination duties. Although she has not yet achieved any particularly remarkable or impressive results, she has put her utmost effort into every task, learning from others and gaining experience through practice, striving to improve with each passing day. An outstanding employee, in addition to having the necessary sense of dedication and responsibility, must also possess a strong sense of ownership—always thinking and acting in the company’s best interests. Thanks to this sense of ownership, she never underestimates even the smallest, seemingly insignificant tasks; on the contrary, she uses these small tasks to hone her skills and enhance her capabilities. The ancient saying, “Do not do evil even if it is small; do not neglect good even if it is minor,” finds full expression in her work.

A warehouse manager who makes people feel at ease

She joined Jinbang in August 2011 and is currently a warehouse manager at the Gaoming plant. She was among the earliest workers when the Gaoming plant was first established and has remained steadfast in her role as a warehouse manager ever since. Over the years, she has always complied with any work assignment from the company; even when working overtime at night or on Sundays, she never complains and has never raised the issue of overtime pay or other personal benefits. She possesses exceptional execution skills: upon receiving an instruction, she prioritizes tasks according to their urgency and importance, takes immediate action, and avoids unnecessary delays. On occasion, when customers request products in more than ten different specifications, she arrives at the plant shortly after 6 a.m., conducts a thorough inventory in advance, and clearly labels everything to prevent mistakes due to haste. A smile is always visible on her face; some colleagues say she is a truly reassuring warehouse manager—having her on duty makes everyone feel completely at ease!

A warehouse worker who strives for zero errors

She joined Jinbang in October 2011 and currently works as a warehouse manager at the Gaoming plant. With a small team at the Gaoming facility, she not only handles warehouse duties but often takes on procurement tasks as well, earning her the nickname “half‑procurement, half‑warehouse.” She prepares monthly reports, maintains warehouse records, and manages internal operations; she must also understand contract terms, liaise with suppliers, conduct inventory counts, and collaborate with finance to provide various data—tasks that flow one after another, with no room for error at any stage, lest the next step fall behind schedule. Given the financial implications, striving for zero mistakes is her goal. She constantly reminds herself to stay focused and cultivates both responsibility and patience. Although the work is indeed demanding, she finds joy in it, saying, “I just don’t like being too idle.” As the saying goes, “You reap what you sow,” and her commitment to error‑free performance reflects the spirited, upward‑moving ethos of the Jinbang team.

24-hour on-call maintenance supervisor

In April 2011, he joined Jinbang and currently serves as the mechanical maintenance supervisor at the Gaoming plant. When the Gaoming plant was first established, he moved in as a technical specialist. As the only mechanical maintenance worker at the Gaoming site, he often has to get up in the middle of the night to repair machinery or provide operational guidance; even now that the workers are well trained, he still rises five or six times each month in the dead of night. He describes himself as a “24-hour-on-call” maintenance technician. Through daily inspections, frequent repairs, and routine upkeep, over time he has come to know the plant’s equipment as intimately as his own children. Whether a machine is prone to minor ailments, developing a cold or fever, or facing a serious breakdown, he has prepared tailored solutions—and his remedies invariably work. Such a seasoned employee, with solid technical skills and impeccable character, truly is a valuable asset to the company.

“The class monitor who puts quality above all else”

He joined Jinbang in June 2011 and currently serves as the production team leader at the Gaoming plant. A long-time employee who has grown alongside Gaoming, he started from the ground up, gaining experience at every position along the production line and becoming thoroughly familiar with the operating procedures of each role. As a team leader, he excels at coordinating various relationships and organizing work within his team in an orderly and efficient manner. Above all, his most distinctive trait is his unwavering commitment to quality. “Quality above all else” is the guiding principle behind his leadership. On one occasion, when he noticed a discrepancy between the product color and the customer’s specifications, he immediately traced back through the preceding batches, reclassified all those products as defective, and reorganized production accordingly. It is precisely because of this highly responsible attitude that, under his leadership, both the output and quality of the team’s products have remained remarkably stable.

A class monitor who is good at planning ahead

He joined Jinbang in August 2004 and currently serves as the production team leader at the Gaoming plant. When the Gaoming plant was established, he brought his machinery from the Daliang headquarters to Gaoming, witnessing the plant’s steady growth along the way. He is deeply versed in technology, with an exceptional understanding of the equipment and a thorough grasp of every stage of the production process. Since becoming team leader, he has maintained a strong commitment to quality, routinely inspecting the products produced by his team to ensure no defective items slip through. As a manager, he demonstrates outstanding strategic planning skills, proactively mapping out his team’s tasks, anticipating whether current production might affect subsequent stages, and determining how to adjust operations and address any issues that arise. “Well-preparedness ensures success; lack of preparation leads to failure.” Thanks to his clear thinking and meticulous planning, his team’s work progresses systematically and purposefully, enabling them to complete production assignments on time and to the required standards.
