In production and business activities, productivity and quality are two vital factors that create great value for businesses and customers. When productivity and quality go together, they create a strong attraction to promote business value.
Specifically, high productivity helps businesses produce goods and provide services more quickly and effectively, while high quality ensures that the product or service meets the standards and expectations of customers. Both of these factors together create a balance: productivity optimizes processes and resources, while quality builds trust and satisfaction for customers.
To improve productivity and product quality, in recent times, many Vietnamese enterprises have been aware of the importance of building and applying quality management systems to ensure the quality of goods and services. Programs to improve productivity and quality have become an indispensable activity in the process of building and developing enterprises.
At Tien Phong Youth Plastic Joint Stock Company, thanks to integrating productivity improvement tools (5S, comprehensive productivity maintenance - TPM) with ISO 9001, the company's labor productivity has been improved; vehicles, machinery, and equipment have achieved an efficiency of over 90%. In particular, the integration of TPM with ISO 9001 is a key factor helping Tien Phong Plastic improve the performance and competitiveness of the product.
Or at Thien Nam Elevator Joint Stock Company, it has successfully deployed an environmental management system according to TCVN ISO4001. Thereby raising awareness of cadres and employees about environmental protection activities. In addition, applying this standard also helps the company better manage waste, solid waste ( common, hazardous...), chemicals, wastewater, emissions, etc.
A productivity expert said that inheriting the results and experience of applying management systems, models, and tools to improve quality productivity to enterprises, in the coming time, Vietnamese enterprises need to apply a number of management systems, models, and tools to improve quality productivity in accordance with their management level, such as:
ISO 9001 Quality Management System; Food Safety Management System (ISO 22000), Information Security Management System (ISO 27000); Energy Management System (ISO 5,0001); Environmental Management System (ISO 14000); Social Responsibility Management System (ISO 26000); Occupational Health and Safety Management System (ISO 45001).
Businesses need to increase the application of quality productivity improvement tools, specifically applying "streamlined management" tools (including: 5S, site clearance, comprehensive productivity maintenance, rapid transformation, time research and operation, timely balance, timely production, value flow diagrams, raw material cost accounting) systematically, continuously and focused to help businesses cut costs, optimize the use of resources, shorten production and service cycle time; at the same time, increase the ability to flexibly meet the constantly fluctuating and increasingly demanding requirements of customers.
