After so many years of packaging machine production, the motor sound in our factory workshop has always been louder than the human voice. But recently everyone found that the gray old wall in the factory corridor suddenly "came alive"-the silhouette of the gear meshing is embedded with the family portrait of the employees, the handwritten notes are floating on the equipment disassembly diagram, and even the air compressor pipes are wrapped with painted vines. This wave of cultural wall transformation really makes the cold and hard mechanical factory area humane.
The "mid-life crisis" of the old wall
Speaking of it, the original packaging machine factory cultural wall was painted five years ago. The "safety first" with white letters on a blue background and the equipment parameter diagram looks like a standing product manual. The new guy asked last week: "Master, should the reducer model on this wall be updated?" You see, the cultural wall was regarded as a technical bulletin board. This wave of transformation is really imperative.
When several of our workshop directors met, we reached a consensus: the cultural wall cannot only talk about machines, but also let the brothers who work around the production line every day find a sense of belonging. Xiao Zhang from the administrative department said it makes sense: "The culture of our packaging machine factory must be the smell of fireworks floating in the oil."
Employees are the best designers
The most subversive thing about this transformation is that the front-line workers are the protagonists. The call for submissions was issued in mid-March, and more than 20 manuscripts were received in just two weeks: Lao Li from the assembly group drew a time corridor where three generations of grandparents and grandchildren worked in the factory, Xiao Wang from the debugging workshop compiled the quality inspection formula into a jingle wall sticker, and even the cafeteria aunt contributed a "popularity list of the most popular dishes".
Now when you walk to the corner of the CNC workshop, you will definitely be attracted by the "Troubleshooting Story" - various hand-painted equipment "breakdown" moments are accompanied by the repairman's complaints, such as "the screw is as stubborn as a donkey" and "the conveyor belt is begging for oiling", which makes you laugh out loud. These vivid details are more memorable than rigid operating procedures.
Cross-border CP of machinery and humanities
The most film-making area is the newly completed "Mechanical Aesthetics Corner". We reassembled the obsolete packaging machine parts: gears formed a dynamic clock, vacuum tubes were transformed into light columns, and even rusty bearings were welded into artistic benches. Last month, a customer came to inspect the factory and stared at the map of China made of screws and nuts and gave a thumbs up: "Your packaging machine factory culture is a play of hard-core manufacturing!"
Special mention should be made of the "Shining Star of Craftsmen" honor wall. Unlike the traditional honor roll that only posts photos, we have equipped each quarter's outstanding employees with a dedicated display cabinet: Master Ma, an old welder, has a mask that he has used for ten years in his cabinet, and Zhou, an expert in debugging, has displayed his self-created hexagonal wrench maintenance kit. A visitor joked, "This is not a cultural wall, it's clearly a treasure chest for our packaging people."
The cultural wall has become a new check-in point
Since the cultural wall was renewed, the factory has obviously had more heartwarming things. During the morning and evening shift changes, you can always see the master and apprentice making gestures under the "Skill Inheritance Tree"; during breaks, young workers love to gather in front of the "History of Packaging Machine Development" interactive screen to PK equipment knowledge. The most unexpected thing is the "Twelve Hours of the Cultural Wall" shot by the short video department, which has been circulated wildly in the industry group, and the neighboring factory has even formed a group to learn from it.
Recently, even the customer traffic flow has been quietly changed - after visiting the production line, you must pass through the cultural wall corridor. A colleague from the business department gave feedback: "Now when discussing cooperation, customers often point to the employee stories on the wall and ask for details. The atmosphere is much more relaxed than negotiating with a parameter table."
Written at the end:
This cultural wall of the packaging machine factory is like a growing canvas, with new content on the wall every month. Next month we are going to open a "Newbie Renovation Zone" to let interns use 3D printing technology to make miniature workshop models. If you come to the factory one day, don't forget to leave a sticky note on the "Screw Voice Wall" - after all, culture is something that needs everyone to carve it together to be powerful!
