Spark of Innovation, Path to Efficiency — Saluting Fu Jianfeng from Bench Scale Workshop
2025.07.22
Amidst the roar of machinery, inspiration and sweat intertwine. A seemingly simple idea harbors immense energy for boosting efficiency. In our Lirang Weighing Instruments factory, a land rich with wisdom, there is never a shortage of meticulous 'craftsmen' and bold 'innovators'. Today, we want to tell you about such an exemplary figure who has been rooted on the production front line, using his ingenuity and skillful hands to create practical tools that solve real problems and significantly enhance our team's production efficiency—Fu Jianfeng. Pain point: Small 'chronic issues' in the process, causing major efficiency problems.

During the cutting of raw materials, due to the thinness of the material and lack of force, the machine claws cannot control the force properly, so it has to be done manually. This not only makes the operation cumbersome and time-consuming but also affects the cutting precision. It can still cope with small batch production, but as the order demand increases, this process gradually reveals efficiency bottlenecks, becoming a 'small annoyance' for the scale group.
Ignition. Creation. Solution.

This 'small bump' caught Fu Jianfeng's eye and stayed in his mind. As an experienced veteran who has worked on the assembly line for many years, he not only has rich experience but also possesses a keen spirit of exploration and research. He understands that time equals efficiency and precision equals quality. Why not design a special tool to solve this problem?
Without delay! Using his spare time, Fu Jianfeng began his 'secret' project. He repeatedly observed and measured the dimensions of the round pipes and installation slots, thinking about the best solution. Old parts from the workshop toolbox and leftover scraps became treasures in his eyes. Countless times of brainstorming, sketching, finding materials, making hands-on adjustments, testing, failing, and improving... In the end, his diligent research and hands-on practice led to the creation of a cleverly designed, easy-to-use 'positioning fixture'!
Game-Changer Deployed: Double-Digit Surge in Productivity & Precision!

This self-made 'little invention', upon its first deployment, won unanimous praise from colleagues for its intuitive operability, outstanding stability, and astonishing results:
1. Speed boost: Work that previously required manual cutting can now be automated by inserting it into the machine fixture slot, achieving automated operation.
2. Precision improvement: Transitioning from manual measurement operations to machine automation eliminates issues of misalignment and deformation, significantly enhancing stability.
3. Reduced burden: Operators no longer need to measure each cut length under high tension; they only need to set it up on the computer, leaving the rest to the machine, which reduces operational fatigue.
'This is so convenient!' exclaimed Ma Bin, the team leader of the weighing scale workshop, excitedly. 'Previously, this step was always time-consuming and labor-intensive. Now, the entire production line runs much more smoothly! Fu Jianfeng, your 'magic tool' has been a huge help!'
The spirit behind the accolades: innovation, adaptability, and a sense of ownership.

This 'gem of wisdom' from Fù Jiànfēng is by no means accidental. It originates from:
- Sharp observational skills: Being attentive at work, able to precisely capture details that affect efficiency.
- Problem-solving ability: Facing difficulties, instead of complaining, actively think and seek solutions.
- Courage to take action: From idea to reality, overcoming the unknown and possible failures requires both courage and perseverance.
- A meticulous attitude: Being serious about work, pursuing higher efficiency, greater precision, and simplicity.
- A strong sense of ownership: Treating factory matters as personal affairs, taking initiative, and being willing to share results.
The factory management also highly recognizes Fang Jianfeng's contributions, awarding him the Excellent Rationalization Proposal Award. He has put into practice our factory's philosophy of 'lean production and continuous improvement,' fully demonstrating the boundless wisdom and creativity of grassroots employees, making him worthy of learning from by everyone! We encourage all employees to think actively at work and dare to propose rationalization suggestions and innovative ideas!
A role model leads, gathering a strong voice of innovation: The story of Fu Jianfeng not only showcases an innovative achievement but also conveys a powerful positive energy, illuminating the path for both efficiency and quality improvement.
Innovation is not out of reach; it lies in the careful observations and diligent thinking during daily work. Every dedicated employee has the potential to be an innovator and can contribute to enhancing efficiency and building quality.
Improvement starts from the ground up: His improvement actions vividly demonstrate that even minor adjustments to a single step can significantly boost efficiency and effectively eliminate quality risks, fundamentally enhancing product precision and consistency, resulting in a dual leap in efficiency and quality.
The factory is fertile ground for innovation: The company consistently supports and encourages full-scale improvement and innovation, especially ideas that can overcome quality bottlenecks and improve process stability. We firmly believe that employees' wisdom is the core driving force behind continuously improving products and steadily rising quality!
