Sebastian Hamm 先生在 MAPAL 子公司担任团队负责人，并提供他要求苛刻的领导角色的了解
在五轴机床和三班机制之间：作为 WEISSKOPF Werkzeuge（维斯科普夫刀具有限责任公司）的团队负责人，Sebastian Hamm 先生为生产中的连接元素。当职业培训学员以良好的成绩通过考试时，他是第一个祝贺的人。
“我的核心任务包括分配和协调大约20名员工。只要时间允许，我就会自己在CNC数控机床上进行编程和磨削作业。在评估某些特性数据时，我还会定期与生产管理人员、公司管理层和我的团队进行协调”，Sebastian Hamm 先生就特此概述了他广泛的工作领域。他出生于德国图林根州，于2011年在 WEISSKOPF Werkzeuge公司完成了切削刀具技工职业培训。直到2016年，他一直担任机器操作员和副班长。通过技师考试后，他立即晋升为迈宁根市（Meiningen）工厂的团队负责人。
WEISSKOPF Werkzeuge公司专注于整体硬质合金刀具并制造用于钻孔和铣削应用领域的特殊刀具。此外，本公司还生产带有硬质合金和PCD切削刃的“装入式”设计的特殊解决方案。自从2016年以来，本公司即是国际运营的MAPAL集团的一部分，其通过高投资为提高生产水平做出了颇大的贡献。“这确实加快了很多事情。我们员工就从中受益颇多。新型机床、最新设备、空调生产车间。在此工作真的很棒”，Sebastian Hamm 说道。
“当年轻人能够从我学到新事物并从中获益且有一天他们自己在五轴磨床上制造刀具时，这一点让我非常高兴”
关于产品系列和最喜爱的客户
In this context, the range of products that WEISSKOPF Werkzeuge offers has been considerably expanded in recent years. “The custom tools have great geometries which aren’t commonplace”, Sebastian explains with enthusiasm. Not long ago his team was given a new product group. This involves new production of straight fluted tools, where they’ve already been able to make some improvements. He’s been taking care of one of his favourite customers for many years. These orders usually involve grinding tipped tools, i.e. brazed carbide plates on tool bodies, which Sebastian produces himself taking the customer’s drawings into account. “I’m always happy when the customer places a new order”, he explains.
Believing in your own strengths
Production is organised in 3-shift operation, with the workforces being divided into three shifts of eight hours each. This can be somewhat of a coordination challenge for a team leader. “I usually make sure that I’ve briefly spoken to every member of my team in the night, early and late shift at least once during the working day. That’s important to me”, Sebastian explains his leadership style. He encourages independent work, but is always happy to be on hand if he’s needed. This is why he particularly enjoys working with trainees. “I’m just happy when younger people have learnt something from me, and one day, they can produce tools on a five-axis grinding machine on their own”, says Sebastian. In particular, he wants to give trainees the confidence to believe in their owns strengths.
Loyalty lives next door
Most of his colleagues, who he is familiar with from his own training days, still work at the company. “Shared experience binds people together”, Sebastian believes. He estimates the current average age in production to be 25 to 35. The good working atmosphere also spills over to leisure activities. “We often meet up outside work with families and kids. We don’t live too far from each other.” For Sebastian, this is just one of the many advantages that come with long-term employment and an affinity with the region.
