Typically in technical innovation activities in Yokowo Vietnam

Yokowo Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Dong Van II Industrial Park, Ha Nam) is a 100% Japanese-owned enterprise specializing in processing, assembling and manufacturing communication devices on motor vehicles. Here, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Luan, an officer of Quality Control Department, is known as a person who has contributed a lot of technical innovation initiatives to the company.

During his 7 years working at Yokowo Vietnam, Mr. Luan’s initiatives, both big and small, were reviewed and analyzed by the company for application. In particular, an initiative was also taken to the parent company in Japan for analysis and evaluation, and then widely applied in both manufacturing in Japan and in Vietnam.

For example, in the past, there were errors in reinforcement stitching. Although the number of defective products is not much, it will be dangerous, even very serious, if the product is delivered to the customer to use it. Mr. Luan coordinated with the relevant departments to investigate the production process and decided to renovate the lever of the crimping equipment. Previously, the lever only pushed the reinforcement in and out immediately, now when the lever to put the reinforcement must stop and wait for the reinforcement to be moved and the core is also changed from the bearing to the ball bearing . This initiative has overcome 100% of previous errors without affecting productivity.

In other cases, in the past, the company spent a lot of time to determine the cause of product scratches, some products had to be removed when coming to Japan and the number of products with scratches was up to several hundred a month. Mr. Luan suggested to the Quality Control Department to change the packing method by adding a separate location between products to avoid collisions and friction during transportation. As a result, this initiative was transferred to the parent company and applied to many models.

Sharing the reason for many innovative initiatives at work, Mr. Luan said: Being able to work with the right capacity and forte, actively researching and improving production stages to suit labor and have Good working environment boosts creativity. In addition, the relationship between the production departments and employees at the company is very friendly; Every advantage and disadvantage of the production stage is exchanged by everyone, thereby helping him and his colleagues come up with ideas to improve production.
