Stainless Steel BG | Ethan WuWe learn and grow together day by day to improve ourselves for successful career development.
Leaving the financial industry to join Walsin Lihwa is intended to step out of my comfort zone and create new possibilities with my financial training in a new environment. It is also intended to better familiarize myself with how the market works from buyer and seller -- i.e., banks and Walsin Lihwa -- perspectives. Interdepartmental cooperation opportunities and guidance provided by senior colleagues on my various assignments have helped me understand the company organization and blend myself into the company culture soon enough.
I’m now responsible for business planning and risk management in the Commodity Business Group, and my job involves vertical and horizontal coordination, assistance in management guideline development and implementation as well as strategic project planning, and independent implementation of risk management and management of the profit and loss threshold at the middle office. Therefore, I need to always remain open-minded enough to see things from different perspectives when implementing different assignments, and I look forward to keeping strengthening critical thinking and optimizing implementation processes to face up to any new challenge to come.
The greatest gain for me at the big family of Walsin Lihwa is ongoing learning and growth at work.
I try to imagine myself as an empty glass to learn things new with an open mind. The steel rolling department in which I work helps everyone feel satisfied with efficient and fulfilling teamwork and a strong sense of mission because of the mission-critical resources, reasonable division of labor, and strong logistics support it provides.
At Walsin Lihwa, I enjoy dedicating myself to steel rolling equipment improvement, capacity bottleneck breakthroughs, and product quality enhancement by taking part in installation of more roughing mills, laying head modification, as well as improvement of entanglements and scratch injuries. What I’ve experienced is very important to me, and the team support readily available to me has been keeping me moving steadfastly forward.
When I was about to complete my graduate study, a friend working at Walsin Lihwa told me an Industry 4.0 transformation at his company and recommended me to join him to experience the transformation. Therefore, I decided to join Walsin Lihwa before military conscription because I might not be able to bring myself up to speed to the transformation after one-year’s military service.
At Walsin Lihwa, my research focuses on vibration and is intended to help have vibration sensing technologies implemented at the company’s individual plant sites in response to the Industry 4.0 transformation. My research aims at precognitive maintenance of equipment vibration issues and also explores the correlations between equipment vibration issues and product quality. Over the past two years at Walsin Lihwa, I’ve been facing new challenges everyday but I can also cope with such challenges as my helpful, supportive colleagues and superiors amount to my strong momentum for ongoing self-growth.
Before I joined Walsin Lihwa in 2018, I had experienced several jobs of different natures. I’m glad to face up to challenges probably because of my educational backgrounds. I majored in Journalism but earned an MBA degree afterwards; I had to spend more time at school because of my different undergraduate and graduate majors. I joined Walsin Lihwa primarily because of my curiosity about how this traditional industry company established five decades ago can deal with various industry trends to transform itself while striking a balance between tradition and innovation.
At Walsin Lihwa for more than two years, I’m responsible for marketing at the head office, Stainless Steel Business Group, and Wire and Cable Business Group, where I’m always required to have market insights as well as logic thinking and analysis skills. I’ve participated in new business model strategy development for the Wire and Cable Business Group and helped the Stainless Steel Business Group gather business intelligence on the industry upstream to downstream in Taiwan and overseas. Such involvement helped me combine my experiences in business analysis and planning to meet a variety of project needs at individual business groups, letting me realize Walsin Lihwa is willing to provide sufficient leeway to new employees for them to develop their potentials. Therefore, I hope I can continue learning how to face up to industry uncertainties, live with them, and make changes for the better to grow together with the company.
At the IT Center of Walsin Lihwa, I’m primarily responsible for data analysis and data visualization to help resolve the issues my colleagues face and work with professionals of different disciplines to maximize interest with as minimum resources as possible. I’m quite new at the company but have been dealing with many colleagues of different departments. Professional knowledge exchange with them makes my job always full of challenges, for example, the cooperation with the Human Resources Division for automated resume gathering and analysis to rapidly identify qualified job candidates, and analysis of whether machine data would affect product quality during power cable and wire production steel milling, and fine-tuning machine parameters for product yield improvement.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together” — so goes an African proverb telling the importance of teamwork. Since I joined Walsin Lihwa, I’ve been benefited from valuable experiences generously shared by many colleagues during issue resolution together with them. I’ve been learning a lot about both what is most related to me, data analysis , and product manufacture processes, I hope to go fast and far together with my colleagues.
