On April 18, Shen Lucheng, an employee of Wanxiang (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd., was awarded the title of “Xuanqiao Craftsman” for 2025 by Xuanqiao Town, Shanghai. As a supplier quality engineer and metrology tool engineer, he has repeatedly received honors such as “Outstanding Employee” and “Advanced Individual in Quality.” From 2018 to 2024, he successfully filed and obtained nine invention patents and four utility model patents, demonstrating his solid experience and continuous innovative capabilities.

Practice skills on the front lines.

Since joining Wanxiang in June 2012, Shen Lucheng has consistently remained on the front line, honing his skills through hands-on experience. Faced with a sudden quality issue—loose pressure plates from suppliers causing the S73 bracket’s threaded fasteners to fail—he promptly assembled a special task force within two hours, swiftly identified and pinpointed the root cause, and closed the loop on the issue on the same day, ensuring zero recurrence of similar problems thereafter. He spearheaded the development of standards such as the “Inspection Tool Design Specifications” and the “Measurement and Inspection Tool Management Specifications,” reducing the original three-month training period to just one month. Under his leadership, his apprentices successfully completed the inspection tool design for the X04 project, achieving a first-pass yield rate of 98%. He also innovatively designed a universal fixture for housing components, saving nearly 100,000 yuan annually in costs associated with prototype fixtures. Furthermore, he drove internal optimization efforts, including improvements to the MGU measurement fixture design and the refinement of the three-coordinate measurement program, boosting inspection efficiency by 50%.

The details hold the craftsmanship.

In his daily work, Shen Lucheng places the greatest emphasis on “meticulous control of details” and “continuous improvement.” From reviewing supplier documents and inspecting parts to addressing quality anomalies, he consistently upholds high standards and exacting requirements. Whenever a quality issue arises, he adheres to the principle of “on-site, with actual objects, and based on real-world circumstances,” promptly heading to the site to analyze the root cause based on actual conditions rather than relying on theoretical discussions alone. In addition, he has established comprehensive quality records for suppliers, covering the entire lifecycle—from audit assessments and sample verification to mass-production history—enabling precise analysis, early warnings, and effectively enhancing the overall quality level of the supply chain.

Pressure is even more of a driving force.

“Work pressure and technological bottlenecks are the norm in SQE work—but they’re also powerful catalysts for growth,” is a phrase Shen Lucheng often has on the tip of his tongue. In 2019, Shen Lucheng received a request to develop noise and sound quality testing equipment for EPB calipers and MGUs. Faced with an unprecedented industry challenge, tight deadlines, and an extremely heavy workload, he chose to rise to the occasion. After multiple rounds of design revisions and numerous failed tests, the project once hit a technical standstill. But after adjusting his mindset, he proactively coordinated resources, inviting NVH test engineers and NI acoustics experts to join forces and tackle the challenges together. After weeks of refining the design and conducting extensive simulation tests, the project finally passed the technical feasibility review, paving the way for the successful development of the noise detection equipment. The equipment is now being used for real-time monitoring of MGU acoustic performance indicators.

Only by constant learning can we stay fresh and innovative.

Quality management has no end—it’s a continuous journey of constant improvement and surpassing oneself. Shen Lucheng places equal emphasis on theoretical study and practical experience, systematically learning and mastering management tools such as VDA6.3, APQP, and CQI. He attaches great importance to accumulating practical experience, proactively engaging with new projects, embracing new customer requirements, and optimizing and adjusting the dimensions and methods of quality monitoring for existing suppliers. During weekends, he attends trade shows and engages in online learning to stay abreast of cutting-edge processing techniques, fixture designs, process methodologies, and inspection procedures in the industry. He also keeps himself updated on the latest quality management concepts, approaches, and technologies within the industry and exchanges experiences with peers to broaden his horizons. He firmly believes that only through continuous learning and ongoing improvement can one create extraordinary value even in an ordinary position.

He stays committed to his frontline work and strives for excellence, meticulously perfecting each technical task and turning every quality challenge into a stepping stone for growth. With his actions, Shen Lucheng has demonstrated that focus and perseverance are sources of strength, while responsibility and passion are the keys to success. His journey of hard work is a microcosm of the Wanxiang people’s spirit of relentless striving and continuous advancement—and a vivid embodiment of the company’s quality culture. It is precisely because of this group of Wanxiang employees who dedicate themselves quietly and pursue excellence that the company’s development has become even more steadfast, robust, and sustainable in the long run.
