Introduction of Siemens Busway Vietnam - Siemens Automation Systems (SAS)

SAS Guiding Principles

4 5

The market for busway products is getting tougher these days due to fierce competitions in terms of price among producers and suppliers. Besides, customers usually expect high-quality products and premium service at a reasonable price. What should we do to tackle these challenges?

At Siemens, we have been implementing a number of firm measures in order to lower our cost while at the same time, strictly follow the IEC standards. Our cost saving program “Design to Cost” (DTC) has enabled us to be more efficient and more effective in our operation whereas our core product values remain unchanged. For us, a product is not all about price but it’s the values integrated inside it that strongly matters.

With a glorious history of more than 167 years and being well recognized as a famous brand all over the world, the busway from Siemens is holding such values. For us, achieving and sustaining the customer’s satisfaction is one of our strategic objectives, which is strongly supported by our mission: “to become one of the most reliable busway factories across the world with acceptable price, highest standard, strong after- sales service and lowest customer complaint”.

I have a dream and I strongly believe it will become true in a near future when our Siemens Vietnam busway product is considered the unique choice for sustainable solutions for green cities.

Mission

We Stand for Our Values

6 7

In our prime goal of Delighting customer, Quality is the department to ensure the qualification and competence in our product quality in the whole production process, ensure our product specification according to IEC-61439 Standard, Siemens standards as well as customers’ requirements.

All Busway products made by Vietnam factory have Type Test Certificates released by prestigious and reliable international test centers.

The factory has been certified for Quality Management System ISO-9001 since 2006, and after that, Environment Management System ISO-14001 in 2007 and Occupation Health and Safety Management System OHSAS-18001 in 2008.

Together with Quality Control Plan and other Quality Procedures, Work Instructions, our well-trained and professional team is using modern and specialized tools and equipments such as X-Ray machine for plating layer measurement, Conductivity tester and Hardness tester. Programmable Final Testers can carry out our quality control works from Incoming to Final Outgoing.

100% finished products must undergo and pass the final test prior to delivery.

We are proud to be the manufacturer and supplier of LX Busway at local and competitive price but with world-class quality.

The first M stands for MAN, the top concern of any organization. We are proud to possess a young and qualified team who is enthusiastic about change for the better. Approximately 50% of our staff is university graduates and about 10% of them are master degree holders while all of our operators graduate from vocational schools. The team as a whole is well-organized and constantly ready to handle big orders timely and efficiently. Our production capacity can be rapidly doubled and effectively deployed within 2 months. We are also fully committed to meeting the toughest customer requirements.

Visitors to both our factory in Binh Duong, Vietnam and its sister in Mohelnice, Czech Republic certainly agree that the two apply the same production METHOD, the second M. Improvement in one site is benchmarked against and applied to another one. A strong connection between the two factories and technical change management are to ensure the same product quality. All processes, in production and in other departments likewise, are tested and released by Siemens Headquarter before the factory first order is accepted.

To fulfill the mission of providing products with the most acceptable price and the highest quality, we continuously improve our internal processes and vitally develop our local suppliers for the third M, MATERIAL. Prior to accepting a new material from supplier, we qualify not only the sample but also its production process. Together with our supplier we learn and grow in view of the maxim that our supplier is not simply a supplier but our long-term partner.

Last but not least, the final M is our MACHINES which are mostly from Europe. They are maintained in excellent working conditions all the time. Each machine is assigned to one operator according to the principle “My Machine, My Place”.

With 4Ms in focus and other managerial aspects in place, we produce the best products for today and future’s green buildings.

“Zero Tolerance in Quality in order to Delight Customer”, this is our Quality slogan & priority!

Quality Management System

A Glance of our 4Ms

Manufactured by LEAN concept and managed via Balance Score Card, Quality KPIs are defined to ensure the control of production process and product quality.

Suppliers are managed via Supplier Quality per supply rate (%), Supplier Quality per failure (pap) as well as Supplier Additional cost.

In process, quality is managed via Q-Gates, reflected by First Pass Yield index, and maintained at around 100% for all manufacturing products.

Besides, Non Conformity Costs are controlled and monitored monthly.

CIP 7 wastes – TIMWOOD

Everyone has the opportunity to eliminate waste. A key question to define waste is ‘would a customer pay for that process?’

There are seven main areas of waste for any business:

Transportation - moving materials or products

Inventory - keeping too much or the wrong stock

Movements - people moving or travelling excessively

Waiting times - allowing products to wait for processing

Overproduction - making too much

Over processing - doing too many processes during manufacture

Defects - errors or flaws in the product causing rework or needing to be scrapped

Production processes that minimize waste are referred to as lean production. In these processes, the aim is to use less of everything, for example, space, materials or time.

Siemens is looking to reduce waste in manufacturing process. It has adopted the concept of ‘flow’. This means that the products are ‘pulled’ through the process according to customer demand.

All parts of the production process, from the supply of raw material to the finished product, are carefully planned. Scheduling for each element of the process ensures that bottlenecks are kept to a minimum. Each process is paced (known as ‘takt’ time) to control the amount of product in each stage of the process. This ensures that processes operate smoothly without overload or delay and keep the desired output and quality.

“The Siemens Production System is the way to become a Lean Company!”

Continuous Improvement Program (CIP) is often referred to by the Japanese word ‘Kaizen’, which means ‘change for the better’ and covers all processes in an organization. These include engineering, IT, financial, commercial and customer service processes, as well as manufacturing. As its name, CIP is a program to support the Continuous Improvement concept in SAS operation. Through this program, all factory members can contribute their best efforts to the development of the factory via 3i suggestion system and CIP projects. CIP contributes effectively for the deployment of SAS Strategy program, the HERO 2015.

3i (Idea, Innovation, Initiative) is a Suggestion system which encourages employees to contribute and share their constructive and creative ideas about improvements in all fields of operations including productivity, material, working environment, hygiene, quality, ergonomic, etc. If the proposal is approved by CIP Committee, it will then be executed, and its author will be rewarded accordingly.

In FY2013, to support the cost saving target of the factory, CIP organized 4 cost saving projects for 4 CIP Groups, focusing on the improvement in Production Productivity, with the target of achievement at least 5% after 2 workshops in July and August. Many constructive ideas were proposed and implemented. All 4 Group projects achieved assigned targets. In particular, increase in Production productivity was 10.5%, which was more than double our original target.

The Siemens Production System (SPS) is a structured way to implement the “Lean” concept in our organization. At the same time, action areas specify concrete topics that need to be addressed during this journey.

It is therefore essential for all of us to focus on the overall optimization and collaborate across functions and organizations. At Siemens, we can all make use of SPS and contribute to the company’s overall success through our expertise, dedication and pioneering spirit. We help to create multiple benefits: for the customers, the quality of products and services is significantly increased with shorter lead times and more competitive prices. For the employees, the motivation is increased as a result of improvements in performance, productivity, job security and working environment. For the shareholders, the commercial success is increased and sustainability is ensured. SAS has succeeded in 5S program, Shop Floor Management, TIMWOOD.
