MASTER &     APPRENTICE   

A RELAY OF     TECHNOLOGY   

In the production workshop of Craft Aviation Equipment Co., LTD., precise drawings are spread out like rolls, and the sound of equipment operation is deep and powerful. There is no room for the slightest carelessness here - every parameter and every process is connected to the safety and reliability of the front-line aviation support tasks. Behind these meticulous and rigorous production sites, there always flows a silent force of inheritance: the experienced guide the new, the master-apprentice system, and the technical relay is passed down from generation to generation.

01The teacher said, "Why am I willing to take him along?

Dai Shenghe is a senior "master" of Craft, having been deeply involved in the aviation equipment industry for many years. He has accumulated profound experience in technological breakthroughs and process control.

When asked about the opportunity to take on an apprentice, Dai Shenghe recalled, "At the beginning, he was not proficient in his business and had some difficulties at the start." But I found that when I assigned him tasks, he never dealt with them perfunctorily. He would always do them carefully and conscientiously. In Dai Shenghe's view, skills can be taught gradually, but a down-to-earth and reliable character comes first. The two qualities he values most in his apprentices are meticulousness in thinking, strictness in doing things, and a calm and composed personality without being impetuous.

The aviation equipment industry has extremely strict requirements for technical accuracy and safety standards. When mentoring new recruits, in addition to imparting professional skills and practical tips, Dai Shenghe places more emphasis on leading by example and passing on the professional belief of "zero errors".

"Our equipment is connected to frontline support tasks. Each additional inspection is like adding an extra layer of security." " Dai Shenghe had said this sentence to his apprentice many times. He always guides new employees to adhere to the principle of meticulous work, understanding that every cumbersome procedure and every operation process has its professional value and safety significance. In work, one must never seek convenience or simplify procedures. It is better to double-check and repeat operations a hundred times than to skip any crucial step for the sake of convenience. Dai Shenghe said that a rigorous style is not just a slogan, but a responsibility rooted in every verification and every piece of data.

Apart from the technology itself, what Dai Sheng and others want to convey to new employees is a deeper professional quality - a sense of awe towards professionalism and safety, a spirit of craftsmanship that strives for excellence, and a sense of professional responsibility that adheres to one's position and the bottom line. "Aviation equipment work allows no room for carelessness. Only with these three qualities can the technology be refined and the work be carried out steadily." "

02The disciple said: "Those things my master taught me.

When Yao Zunchen first entered Craft, he walked into this world of precise and rigorous aviation equipment with a hint of nervousness. The first impression that the master's voice gave him was completely unexpected.

When I first started learning from contract manufacturing, my first impression was that it was particularly gentle and friendly. There was no sense of distance at all that I had expected from a technical backbone. Recalling the scene when he first met his master, Yao Zunchen still remembers it vividly. "The contract manufacturer spoke very patiently and immediately relieved my nervousness when I first came into contact with precision aviation equipment."

But after getting to know each other, Yao Zunchen discovered another side of his master - Dai Shenghe, who seemed easy-going, was actually very "hardcore" in his profession. Whether it's a difficult problem during equipment debugging or a stuck issue in the process, he can always identify the key crux at a glance and then offer the most reliable solution. There were several times when I couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder he's a master!" "

The most beneficial trick that his master taught him was not any specific technique, but a transformation in his way of cognition - "Don't just believe in books; true knowledge comes from the scene." Many subtle problems hidden in the equipment can only be discovered through repeated practical operations. The experience accumulated on-site is the most valuable industry asset.

In terms of professional ethics, Dai Shenghe has truly enabled Yao Zunchen to establish a unique "zero-error" awareness in the aviation equipment industry. Even for the production drawings and bill of materials that have been confirmed in the process, the contract manufacturer will take me to repeatedly check the parameters, models and quantities. Yao Zunchen said that this extreme commitment to details made him understand that rigor is never just a slogan, but a responsibility implemented in every verification and every piece of data.

03Newcomers encountering bottlenecks: Review without blaming

In the work of aviation equipment drawing and precise practical operation, the requirements are strict and the operation is meticulous. Newcomers are very likely to make mistakes. Yao Zunchen candidly admitted that at the beginning, he was timid in his heart and even had the thought of giving up.

The contract manufacturer has always comforted and encouraged me, telling me to be bold and take the initiative to do it first, without fearing mistakes or minor problems. He taught me to start from the basics and complete the tasks step by step. It was the guidance of the contract manufacturing that enabled Yao Zunchen to regain his confidence and persevere.

Dai Shenghe's attitude towards his apprentice's mistakes also gave this newcomer a great sense of security. When a new employee makes a mistake or encounters a work bottleneck, I won't simply blame him. Instead, I will first take him to thoroughly review the entire work process, help him identify the root cause of the problem, and clarify the reasons for the error. After thoroughly analyzing the problem, accompany him to analyze the ideas and discuss the plan together, and solve the difficult problem together.

In his eyes, his master is more like a warm-hearted and beneficial friend. He is easy-going and down-to-earth, and is particularly patient with newcomers. No matter how many difficulties we encountered in our work or how many times we sought advice, he always patiently and meticulously helped and guided us, sharing all his knowledge without reservation.

04The most touching moment in the inheritance of technology

Watching his apprentice grow step by step, Dai Shenghe's heart was filled with satisfaction.

During the teaching process, the moment that truly made me feel the smooth passing on of the skills was when I watched him grow step by step from a complete novice with no prior knowledge. Dai Shenghe said that when he found that his apprentice could think independently and handle various professional issues at work on his own, with fewer and fewer omissions and mistakes at work and becoming more and more stable and reliable in doing things, "At that moment, I felt that the baton of technical inheritance was truly firmly passed on."

Nowadays, Yao Zunchen is capable of independently handling his job. Looking back on this master-apprentice experience, he has many feelings: "My greatest growth is that when facing various work problems, I have more multi-dimensional thinking perspectives." I have truly realized that when encountering professional issues I don't understand, I can't just keep my head down and work in isolation. Instead, I should take the initiative to seek advice and communicate, and humbly learn from experience. This is the shortcut to rapid growth.

Looking at his apprentice being able to handle things independently and even solve some new problems he had never encountered before, Dai Shenghe said with satisfaction, "As the saying goes, a teacher doesn't have to be more virtuous than his disciple, and a disciple doesn't have to be inferior to his teacher." This feeling of the younger generation surpassing the older one makes me particularly proud and I also feel that the technological inheritance in our industry has successors and a promising future."

05Respect teachers and value education, passing on the torch from generation to generation

At Craft, "Respecting teachers and valuing education, sharing knowledge" has never been just a slogan on the wall.

"Through the mentorship model of experienced staff guiding new ones and one-on-one mentoring, it can help new employees effectively transform theoretical knowledge from books into practical skills on the spot, quickly familiarize themselves with job operations and work processes, avoid many detours, and integrate into the team and become competent for their work more rapidly." " Yao Zunchen said.

Dai Shenghe also firmly believes that this kind of master-apprentice good atmosphere can quickly build a complete talent echelon and fundamentally avoid talent gaps. At the same time, we should pass on the skills and experience of the older generation well, constantly accumulate and refine them, so that the technical strength and professional background of our team become more and more solid.

The relay of technology continues.

When asked if he would be willing to take on new apprentices in the future, Yao Zunchen's answer was firm and full of confidence: "If there is an opportunity in the future, I am also very willing to take over the baton of inheritance, participate in teaching new employees, and pass on the experience I have learned without reservation."

Inheritance is not merely the handover of technology; it is also the continuation of a responsibility. When experienced masters generously offer their advice, when newcomers humbly seek knowledge, and when the belief of "zero errors" takes root in the hearts of generation after generation - this is the most touching technological relay of CrafT and also the most solid safety foundation in the aviation equipment industry.
