5S and Kaizen are Japan-originated, important shop floor improvement activities. 5S is used as an important kick-start to conduct shop floor activities. This is followed by Kaizen to create continual improvement. The objective is to reach the “Business Pinnacle: Maintaining QCD (Quality, Costs, Delivery)” at the shop floor. Mr. Lim Eng Swee, a very experienced consultant and a hands-on industrialist with 30 years of working experience as a production engineering GM in a Japanese MNC, shared his experiences in applying 5S, as an initial start to work betterment activities.

Mr. Theodore Wong, a GM of a Japanese MNC, related various methods of finding, analyzing and taking action against shop floor problems.

On behalf of PAAM, we wish to express our sincere appreciation to everyone who directly and indirectly kindly extended their support to PAAM in making this event a great success.
