Business Optimization and Cost Rationalization

We are undertaking multiple Company-wide cost control initiatives, including enhancing processes, using efficient alternative resources, rationalizing manpower and facilities. Taking account of lower capacity utilization due to low demand, we have worked towards better production planning and utilizing this opportunity to implement our various digital manufacturing initiatives across our manufacturing locations.

Strengthening Manufacturing Excellence

We have steadily evolved into a digital engineering solutions company with our investments in next-generation technologies – Industry 4.0 (includes Automation, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). These capability-enhancing investments are facilitating interconnectedness across the plant, real-time availability of plant information for better control over equipment and manufacturing, and predictive maintenance. These have contributed to higher productivity, quality and effective management of downtime. We are also undertaking root cause analysis to identify and eliminate key pain areas.

We have also initiated workshops through Artificial Intelligence and virtual reality, simulating the workshop floor and enabling employees to undertake digital training.
