Samsung focuses on supporting high-tech firms
Samsung has conducted a variety of programs to boost supporting industries in the hope of increase the number of Vietnamese suppliers for it. This year, the training is mainly focused on high-tech enterprises.
Leaders of Samsung Vietnam on June 18 visited three enterprises in northern Vietnam---Hanoi CNC Technology Investment and Development Company Limited – CNC Tech, Viet Chuan Joint Stock Company and Thien My Vinh Phuc Company Limited---to evaluate the consultation results.
These enterprises operate in the field of plastic injection, molding and plastic plating.
During the visit, Choi Joo Ho, president of Samsung Vietnam, said that this year Samsung has been focusing on consulting and supporting high-tech enterprises and plastic injection molding manufacturers, especially by conducting in-depth consultation on molds.
“We are continuing to enhance consultation for Vietnamese enterprises to improve their capacity for further involvement,” the president said.
Currently, the total number of Samsung suppliers is 308, of which 35 Vietnamese enterprises had become first-tier suppliers by the end of 2018, and this number is expected to grow to 50 by 2020.
Samsung has been focused on this since 2015, within the framework of its 12-week innovation consultation program.
As part of the program, the Korean experts will survey, evaluate business activities, provide direct consultation and work with the Vietnamese enterprises to improve their production processes and finalize the standards for supplying products and components, enhancing the Vietnamese enterprises’ capacity to join the component supply chain of Samsung.
Since 2015, Samsung has held nine consultation sessions for 54 enterprises. This year, apart from the consultation program for productivity and quality improvement, Samsung has also directly cooperated with experts from the Samsung mold center to execute a mold consultancy program for mold manufacturing enterprises.
Along with the improvement consultancy program to improve quality and productivity, Samsung has been striving to help the Government of Vietnam develop supporting industries by organizing exhibitions and a workshop on supporting industries to find Vietnamese businesses capable of participating in Samsung's supply chain and by hosting a cooperative training program for 200 Vietnamese consultants in the field of production improvement and quality improvement.
