As a Senior Production Manager, I oversee the operation of concrete batching plants at our Tsing Yi Production Hub. I often work with other functional teams to implement strategies and drive continual improvement in a practicable way. This role allows me to challenge myself to oversee operations in a more holistic perspective, to look ahead, and to keep a growth mindset, always enforcing and upgrading our processes and systems.
The production hub is an unprecedented change, with adoption of technologies that enable real-time air quality monitoring, and automated truck washing facilities. The workforce also includes new generation of supervisory staff and line operatives, a group that not only aligns the values of Alliance but able to bring about innovation and meaningful recommendations. As I work with them, I always emphasize the rationale behind each procedure and requirement to ensure thorough understanding and alignment of our core values. Routine coaching also plays an important role in supporting them to grow and manage a very steep learning curve. They are also appointed to lead projects, giving them flexibility to explore and draw recommendations.
To me, being able to see initiatives become reality, achieving company objectives, and witnessing the growth of my work teams bring me great sense of fulfillment. Alliance is always evolving, and I am honoured to play a part in shaping its future together.
Being entrusted to take up the role of Production Manager means a lot to me. The Company has provided me a platform, guidance, and flexibility. In addition, we always seek innovation and breaking the status quo in a very traditional industry. Management staff are also very open-minded and supportive to maintaining a balanced work-life and building a healthy workplace environment. Opportunities are always available for dedicated young talents to explore and unleash their potential. As for me, I like to think my role is important to ensuring production meeting targets and requirements, but more importantly, to ensuring HSE is incorporated into our processes and shaping the perspectives of new staff regarding HSE. I strive to fulfill my roles and responsibilities to develop and contribute to our business success.
My experiences here have been very fulfilling and meeting my interests, including R&D and project management. My role allows me to investigate issues, break through misconceptions with data analysis, drive up proposals and leading improvement projects. Driving such changes to pursue operational excellence is very meaningful and gives me much achievement. I also appreciate the regular coaching by my superior, who holds me accountable to the projects while often giving me insights to support my learning and development. There are lots of opportunities to work with other teams and my experiences are pleasant as we overcome challenges together. There really is always room for learning and gaining experience. If I can say one thing to myself before joining Alliance, I would say enjoy the process, there is much to learn. Be patient and look forward to leading new changes.
