Optimizing and saving materials and raw materials
In the near future, the Trade Union of Ho Chi Minh City Power Corporation (EVNHCMC) will organize the installation of signs for two emulation projects at the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation level to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the complete liberation of the South and national reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025).
Mr. Le Van Minh - Chairman of EVNHCMC Trade Union - said that during the implementation of the Cat Lai - Tan Cang 220kV Line project (total investment capital of more than 805 billion VND) and the Hoa Xa 110kV Transformer Station Renovation project (total investment capital of nearly 250 billion VND) invested by EVNHCMC, employees in the Ho Chi Minh City electricity industry have had many initiatives and improvements to bring practical results.
At the Cat Lai - Tan Cang 220kV Line project, the team of employees in the Ho Chi Minh City electricity industry has proactively adjusted the location and design of the T08 pole foundation, while removing the T07 pole foundation to comply with the land use planning, minimizing the impact on households. The T19 pillar is also moved along the median strip to avoid encroaching on the road. In addition, the route and design of the underground cable section are adjusted to avoid overlapping the infrastructure planning of the 220kV Cat Lai transformer station, ensuring safety when maintaining and repairing under the conditions of the station still in operation. The engineers also flexibly adjusted the design to install 220kV underground cables across Saigon 2 Bridge, helping the construction, operation and maintenance of the cable line to take place safely and conveniently.
"From emulation movements, the team of employees participating in the two projects has promoted initiatives, improved techniques, rationalized production, optimized costs of materials and raw materials, and ensured construction progress," said Mr. Minh.
Affirming the creativity of Vietnamese workers
Ms. Tran Thi Hong Van - Chairwoman of the Trade Union of Nissei Electric Vietnam Company - said that the emulation movement and technical innovation initiatives are carried out regularly at the enterprise.
In 2024 alone, the collective of employees at Nissei Electric Vietnam Company had 718 initiatives and improvements to benefit the enterprise by billions of VND, and was rewarded by the enterprise with more than 100 million VND. And in the first 3 months of 2025, the collective of employees at Nissei Electric Vietnam Company had 170 initiatives and improvements.
From these emulation movements, there have been employees honored and received awards from the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee. Typically, electrical and electronics engineer Nguyen Quang Duy Lam - Production Director of Nissei Electric Vietnam Company, every year has dozens of initiatives that benefit the company from more than 120 million VND to nearly 800 million VND.
One example is the initiative "Electronicizing plastic mixing operations and automating recording of cable and bellow pressure products using the application of Barcode lines", benefiting the company 554 million VND/year. In particular, this initiative was also chosen as the representative topic for the Nissei factory in Ho Chi Minh City to report the results at the NEJ Main Factory in Japan. Or the initiative of "stabilizing production room losses No. 1" by engineer Nguyen Quang Duy Lam has helped reduce 75% of volatile waste, saving the company 768 million VND/year...
In particular, Mr. Lams topic Elementarizing operations has helped Nissei Factory in Ho Chi Minh City catch up with the 4.0 technology trend, improve competitiveness, become a key factory of Nissei Group and a place for other factories to learn from. This success also affirms the creativity of Vietnamese people in the entire system" - Ms. Van said.
According to Mr. Tran Doan Trung - Permanent Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation - Ho Chi Minh City trade unions at all levels have implemented many patriotic emulation movements associated with the emulation movements "Good workers, Creative workers", "Good at public work, good at home work", "Green - clean - beautiful", "Good advice, good service", "Cadres, civil servants, and public employees compete to practice office culture"...
In 2024, from the movement "Good workers, Creative workers", the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation honored 234 employees with initiatives and technical improvements that have made practical contributions to businesses. Of which, 15 outstanding engineers and workers were awarded the "Ton Duc Thang Award".
