Participating in the project, experts will assess the current operating situation of the enterprise's factory according to smart factory standards. Based on the evaluation results, businesses will be supported with advice on setting up smart factories.
For example, An Phu Viet Plastic Co., Ltd located in Hung Yen province. Currently, production and plant operations data is being collected locally by this enterprise. The project is expected to support An Phu Viet in setting up a smart factory by helping to build a “Stage Management System” that allows real-time management of output/quality and equipment, moving towards digitization of the factory.
Also within the framework of the project, Samsung will conduct training for Vietnamese consultants in the field of smart factories through a 12-week training course including 03 weeks of theoretical training and 09 weeks of practical training to help professionals acquire knowledge and improve consulting capacity related to smart factory setup.
Especially, during 9 weeks of practice, Vietnamese consultants and Korean Samsung consultants will directly participate in surveying, evaluating and consulting businesses in the field.
Currently, Samsung is training about 30 consultants.
This year, Samsung is expected to advise and support the development of smart factories for a total of 26 businesses and train 50 consultants in the field of smart factories.
Through this project, Samsung wishes to support Vietnamese enterprises to improve their competitiveness according to global standards in all processes such as research, production, etc., thereby supporting businesses to have more opportunities to participate in the supply chain of not only Samsung but also the global supply network.
Speaking at the Kick-off Ceremony, Mr. Do Thang Hai - Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade said that " In order to realize the goal of industrialization and modernization of the country, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has actively implemented cooperation programs with multinational corporations and large FDI enterprises in Vietnam to improve the quality of human resources and competitiveness of Vietnamese enterprises in the field of manufacturing, processing and supporting industries. In particular, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has cooperated with Samsung to implement programs such as training consultants, consulting improvement for Vietnamese enterprises, training mold experts, etc. The above programs have been bringing positive signals to Vietnam's industry in general and supporting industries in particular.
