Workers emulate on production labor at enterprises

Being agile, creative

 Since 2018, United Sweethearts Vietnam Garment Co., Ltd (Nhon Trach District) has expanded production and added more sewing lines but lacked clippers. Before the difficulties of the enterprise, worker Nguyen Thanh Phuong proposed to the enterprise to invest in automatic cutting machines and he volunteered to attend cutting classes, then he undertook the automatic cutting and guided colleagues to do the same. He has helped the business to reduce labors and saved costs by 120,000 USD per year. Mr. Phuong said that he himself always thought working in any positions, if he knew how to explore and promote his strength he would have many opportunities to advance in his work.

 At Vietnam Precision Industry Joint Stock Company (specializing in manufacturing precision mechanics at Trang Bom district), there are currently more than 1,000 employees, of which 75% are highly skilled workers. Over the last years, the enterprise has focused on applying modern technology to production and this workforce has become the key team to operate automatic machines after being installed. The creativity and quickly access to technology of employees contribute to the improvement of the company's product quality.

 Mr. Nguyen Xuan Sinh, deputy production director of the company said that in recent years, in order to innovate production, the enterprise has imported modern equipment and machines into production such as CNC mechanical lathes, automatic drilling machines. Realizing the innovation of the enterprise, the worker team has actively explored and improved their skills and created their works so as not to be outdated. Currently, high-tech workers at the enterprise are playing key roles in each production workshop with a relatively high income.

 “We highly appreciate the ability and sharp thinking of employees in accessing new technology. Many employees have affirmed their bravery and skills through initiatives, creativity and knowing how to use gray matter in their works at the right time. Therefore, they are always respected by the enterprise and provided good benefits to retain this human resource," said Mr. Sinh.

 According to enterprises, with increasingly strict requirements on production quality of customers, enterprises have focused on investing in machinery and applying technology 4.0 to production and business to improve product value. However, enterprises also set many requirements for employees in terms of skills, capacity and working styles. From the above requirements, workers in many fields and professions have self-researched, emulated in production and successfully completed the assigned works. Many employees have also actively participated in initiative movements, together with enterprises in implementing the industrial revolution 4.0, creating brands and values for products and aiming for sustainable development.

 Mastering technology more and more

 Bosch Vietnam Co., Ltd (Long Thanh District) is one of the leading enterprises in applying high technology to production. The enterprise attaches great importance to technical training and working skills for workers to quickly access and operate automated machinery systems in production. Mr. Tran Minh Loc, senior engineer of the company said that the industrial revolution 4.0 required employees to actively study, research and mastered technology. Therefore, if he does not "upgrade" himself, he will soon be outdated compared to the current requirements and nature of work.

 According to officials of trade unions, the impact of the industrial revolution 4.0 has made the educational and technical qualifications of workers to be enhanced. However, this is also a challenge for low-skilled workers. Therefore, employees need to be trained and retrained in professional skills and abilities to meet the needs of the job well. If the workforce is properly trained in their current job orientation, they will affirm their positions in the development of enterprises as well as the flow of the ongoing industrial revolution.

 Chairman of the Trade Union of Advanced Multitech Vietnam Company Do Thi Thuy Kieu said that over the past time, the company has actively applied simple, easy-to-learn, easy-to-operate machinery and equipment, suitable for many subjects. In addition, extensively propagating for employees to understand Industry 4.0 and opening training courses for employees to be aware of industrial development trends, creating a modern working environment, ensuring health, not losing much labor power.

 In fact, many workers were always worried that the industrial revolution 4.0 would threaten unskilled workers by being replaced by automatic robots and artificial intelligence before. However, this is an opportunity for employees to improve their professional skills and work in a modern and professional environment. On the other hand, workers will reduce labor force, no longer struggling to do manual works as before. But to be able to adapt quickly, it is necessary to have policies to support vocational training for workers in accordance with the current context. In which, focusing on training in the direction of equipping skills and working attitudes so that employees are ready to meet job requirements both at the present and in the future.

 Production Director of Topband Vietnam Co., Ltd (Long Thanh District) Liao Shu Jiang said that by the end of 2021, the enterprise imported a series of automation machines into the production of electronic components. In particular, the enterprise applied advanced, environmentally friendly technologies and needed a professional workforce. However, the recruiting of skilled workers operating these machines was not easy which has affected the production and business progress of the enterprise. This showed that the roles of workers were very important in accompanying enterprise to maintain stable production and development.​
