After 3 months of participating in the program to support the application of TPM of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (October-December 2019), Tri Cuong Industry Co., Ltd. has gained the benefits of visual management, staff manners, production management and efficiency in terms of equipment productivity.

Tri Cuong Industry Co., Ltd. registered to participate in the TPM support program of the Ministry of Industry and Trade in August 2019 and started implementing TPM from October to December 2019 with 3 main pillars selected. Including: Self-governing Maintenance, Key Improvement and Education & Training.
