Today, the concept of Quality and Quality Management is no stranger to Vietnamese businesses. In order to improve the edge of the market, each business must choose for itself a business direction as well as in the way of management. However, no matter which business method you choose, invest in any kind of machinery or technology, people are still the decisive factor to bring success to your business. Stemming from the human philosophy that is at the heart of every development, 5S practice model has been applied in Japan as a foundation to successfully apply a quality management system. 5S creates a clean, convenient environment and helps organizations / businesses, facilitating the application of quality management system, bringing customers trust.
5S
5S
I. CONCEPT OF 5S
5S is the first letter of the Japanese words "SEIRI", "SEITON", "SEISO", SEIKETSU "and" SHITSUKE ", temporarily translated into Vietnamese as" SCREENED "," ARRANGEMENT "," CLEAN WILL ", "HUNTING", "HUNTING" From the meaning of words beginning with 5 S, the general principles of 5S practice are understood as follows:
SEIRI (Screening): is screening unnecessary items at work and removing them;
SEITON (Sort): Arrange things neatly, in a certain order, convenient to use;
SEISO (Clean): is cleaning at work so that there is no garbage or dirt in the workplace (including on the floor, machinery and equipment);
SEIKETSU (Care): is always looking after, keeping the workplace clean, convenient and productive by continuously implementing Seiri, Seiton, Seiso;
SHITSUKE (Ready): Creating a routine, self-discipline and good work, maintaining a convenient working environment
II. THE REASON OF implementing 5S
5S practice is a program that requires the participation of everyone in the organization / business. This is an effective method to mobilize people, improve the working environment and improve productivity.
The principle of 5S practice is very simple, does not require any complicated terms or methods in the implementation process. Success in practice will help organizations / businesses achieve higher productivity through:

- Successful 5S practice creates a clean, healthy and safe working environment, bringing efficiency and success to businesses. What are you waiting for, we continue to improve the Productivity-Quality program by applying 5S practice!
V. 5S APPLICATION PROCESS
5.1. SERI: It removes unnecessary ones
Step 1:
Look closely at your workplace with some colleagues;
Discover and identify what is not needed for your work;
Discover and identify what is not needed for your work;
Discover - Then throw away (cancel) unnecessary things;
Don't keep things that aren't necessary for your work.
Step 2:
If you and your colleague can't decide right away that something is still necessary for the job, mark it with the date and cancel it and set it apart.
Step 3:
After a while, for example 3 months - check again if anyone needs it. If after 3 months no one needs to come, that is not needed for work anymore;
If you can't decide for yourself, leave a time limit to process.
Attention:
When screening, you must not forget what is in the closet;
Cancellation of unnecessary things is possible;
When canceling things belonging to the property of an organization / business, you should report

In the context of the ASEAN Economic Community will be formed at the end of this year, as well as many important free trade agreements (FTAs) that Vietnam has been and are about to sign, it is required to innovate technology and raise High quality products to increase competitiveness is an important issue of Vietnam plastic industry.

This information is mentioned at the Conference "Development orientation for Vietnam plastic industry - welcoming opportunities from the formation of ASEAN economic community", organized by Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) in the afternoon of 16th. / 9, in Ho Chi Minh City (Ho Chi Minh City).

According to Dr. Dinh The Hien, Director of Ho Chi Minh City Applied Economics Research Institute, the biggest weakness of Vietnam plastic industry is backward production technology. Because Vietnam's products are in the low segment, businesses pay less attention to investing in modern machinery technology. This reduces the competitiveness of Vietnamese plastic products in the market. However, in the context of integration, the more worrisome issue is the management and leadership capacity of plastic enterprises, not determined enough to innovate, create and apply new product technologies.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh, Director of VCCI Trade Information Center, said that there are more than 80% of plastic enterprises with small and medium scale. There is no group of enterprises holding the leading position to lead the plastic industry so the competitiveness within the industry is quite high. Besides, the concentration of small and medium enterprises in the same field also means that the capital and technology of enterprises are quite limited, so they will face strong competitive pressure against enterprises with direct investment capital. Foreign reception (FDI), which has advantages in technology and market experience. Meanwhile, plastic industry in some countries in ASEAN region such as Thailand has welcomed the trend of world consumption by aiming to produce biotech-friendly and environmentally friendly plastic products.

According to VCCI, Vietnam's plastic industry still has certain limitations such as domestic production materials only meet 20% to 30% of demand with products mainly including PVC, PET, PP. The remaining 70% of the industry's raw materials are dependent on imports. Therefore, production costs are always fluctuated according to the price of input materials from the world and fluctuations of foreign exchange rates. Meanwhile, the number of models and types of plastic products is monotonous, there are not many value-added products as well as failing to meet the increasing demands of the market. The domestic plastic industry has not had any research facilities and technological and technological inventions, the workers are not highly skilled and have no workers training system, so they cannot produce high details. grant to participate in global supply chain in a fixed position ...

Some businesses in the plastic industry said that the Vietnamese plastic industry currently lacks a team of experts with deep knowledge of the industry, can analyze and provide information on the world plastic market. Enterprises also find it difficult to access industry-related data and information to plan long-term development strategies. According to the recommendations of the plastic industry enterprises, the Ministry of Industry and Trade as well as the Vietnam Plastic Association need to have a close link in making analysis data, forecasting the situation of plastic production and export in the country as well as The world, so that businesses in the industry can come up with long-term development strategies, keep abreast of the situation and actual needs from the market.

"I cannot explain, it is the will of the Chairman of the Group," said James B. DeLuca, VinFast's General Director. He said that he decided to publicize everything from design, technology and policy from the beginning to be the idea of ​​billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong, to create excitement from the beginning with the domestic brand. He himself was surprised about this when he came to Vietnam to work.

The way of major automobile manufacturers in the world when developing a product is to conceal everything, silently research for a few years. Specific images of vehicles with minimal camouflage are only revealed by the media for a few months before their debut. This way the company will not be "exposed" to competitors, as well as limit inaccurate information until officially introduced to the market. There are even many abandoned projects in the middle, or delayed for a long time, not according to plan.

"I was pretty stunned when all the early drawings of the car were widely publicized, but at this point I found the step quite accurate," DeLuca added. He explained that letting customers choose the design has created a good response in the market, maintaining the heat of the project.

In fact, experts believe that the "strange" step of VinFast has brought about efficiency. The design was chosen by the majority from the beginning, so the bad-beauty assessment was limited when the car appeared. Different opinions about how to create images only come in details, not overall. Of course, these are not official commercial versions.

Also talking about the shocking decisions, DeLuca said that when going to Vietnam, he said that product development usually takes 36-60 months, but Mr. Vuong does not want to spend so much time.

"We became people in 9 months, so you have to do it faster" is Mr. Vuong's task to the American Director-General. That is, having a child takes only 9 months, so a car must be born quickly. In fact, VinFast launched the first car after 21 months, quite fast compared to 36-60 months of the 4-wheel industry in the world.

VinFast vehicles run on Hai Phong highway, May 5/2019.

The bold plans of Vietnamese automakers still need the most important indicators to prove, which is the amount of cars sold. Currently the company has not announced this number. Fadil has just launched the market as a dose of reagent to measure two factors: how far VinFast realizes the above-mentioned communication and reaction of Vietnamese customers with a product that has been widely known since yet? launch.

Along with the announcement of the official price and opening time, VinFast also shared some information about the specifications of VinFast Klara.

Along with learning about AutoBikes private sources, you will have more interesting information about the first electric car of VinFast. VinFast Klara In terms of design, VinFast Klara is designed by Torino Design so we can easily recognize high-end and luxurious Italian designs. In fact, in Vietnam, Paggio has conquered many Vietnamese users thanks to attractive Italian style design.

In terms of size, both versions of VinFast Klara have the same dimensions of 1910 mm long, 685 mm wide and 1130 mm high; 760 mm height. Full LED light with light sensor Lamp of high-end version using lithium battery is full LED lamp, including headlights, taillights, turn signal, brake lights. In particular, we can easily distinguish the high version from the low version when looking at the headlight when the high plate has an LED strip in the middle, but in the low version there is no.

However, the most interesting point about the lighting technology of VinFast Klara electric motorbikes is our automatic on / off feature on the premium version. This means that the car has a light sensor, when it gets dark, it will automatically turn on, and when it is morning it will turn off automatically, the feature is usually only found on luxury cars. Electronic watch face LCD screen 4.5 "The watch face of the car is electronic, 4.5-inch LCD screen, capable of 3G connectivity, Bluetooth, GPS positioning. This screen can display Notifying the missed call of the phone VinFast Klara uses tubeless tires of IRC Vietnam, 14 inch size in front and 12 inch in rear wheels, respectively 90 / 90-14 and 120 / 70-12. Shock absorber of similar vehicle damping station, Permissible load recorded on Vinafast Klara vehicle is 150 kg However, according to information from VinFast, the frame has been tested by VinFast and is capable of being stable or equivalent. universal motorbikes, the maximum load when testing with the chassis up to 750 kg, but the frame is still tolerant, the roof is quite spacious The roof of VinFast Klara is quite wide, at 21 liters with lithium battery and 22 liters with the lead batteries. This capacity can contain two first-half helmets, 13-inch laptops and many other small items, so the trunk is wider than SH, SH mode, Vision but smaller than Honda Lead, Air Blade, and Yamaha Grande One. The top concerns of users are the engine and battery parts.

According to the general announcement, "the engine of VinFast Klara is produced by Bosch and the engine owned by VinFast is highly durable technology." According to our research on the product when launched on November 3, VinFast Klara A1 uses Bosch engines with a capacity of 1200W, Bosch lithium batteries manufactured separately for VinFast, capacity of 22.8 Ah. Lithium battery weighs about 11 kg, charging time reaches 90% in 4 hours. VinFast said, they tested 1,000 charging cycles with lithium batteries, ie fully charged, fully discharged and fully charged again. The number of cycles is equivalent to an average of 6-8 years. Then this battery still has 70% capacity compared to the original. Meanwhile, Klara A2 also uses Bosch's engine with 800W capacity. However, lead batteries are manufactured by Chilwee, a Chinese supplier specifically designed for VinFast with Bosch chargers.

This battery weighs about 35 kg, 20Ah capacity, charging time is about 8 hours. Thus, we can see heavier Klara A2 cars and weaker capacity than Klara A1. However, both vehicles have a maximum travel distance of 80 km after each full charge according to the manufacturer's test with the driver weighing about 70kg and traveling at low speed. The maximum speed of both vehicles is at 50 km / h. In terms of safety, both versions of Klara vehicles use disc brakes both before and after produced by Nissin (Japan) in Vietnam.

In particular, the car is capable of anti-theft thanks to integrated positioning, easy to find vehicles via mobile applications. The car still uses locks from integrated saddle opening. However, the remote control device can turn on and off similarly to the smartkey smart lock of a Honda motorcycle. VinFast Klara goes in 50cm deep water In addition, VinFast Klara has high water resistance according to IP57 waterproof standards. Specifically, the car can be soaked in water for 30 minutes at a depth of 50 cm but still running normally. This ability was tested right at the inauguration of the electric car factory and launched Klara on November 3 in Hai Phong in the presence of numerous guests and representatives of media agencies. A notable information is the warranty of the vehicle. According to AutoBikes' own source, VinFast Klara cars are warranted for up to 3 years of the entire vehicle without a limit of kilometers. This is a warranty that is often seen only in luxury cars in Vietnam, showing that VinFast is confident in the quality of its products. Klara has 6 colors including red, white, gray, blue, black and yellow sand, officially sold to the market from 16h November 20, 2018 at Thong Nhat Park, Hanoi. However, before selling 10 days, VinFast's distribution system and points of sale of electric motorbikes have not been announced, so many people still want to buy a car.

Oftentimes, reducing machining time alone is not enough to meet challenging lead times. Shops may need to look at other processes to ensure the parts get to the customer on time. B.C. Instruments (BCI), a company based in Schomberg, Ontario, purchased new machines to keep up with a customer’s expedited lead times. But it quickly realized that even with the ability to produce complete parts in less than two minutes, it would not meet lead times if it had to spend three or four minutes inspecting each part. A new inspection system from The L.S. Starrett Co. (Athol, Massachusetts) has increased inspection throughput by 75% to help the company hit its customers’ lead times and perform additional inspection tasks.

Bruno Conzelmann established B.C. Instruments in his garage in 1971. Since then, the company has grown to include 150 employees working in six plants across Ontario and a plant in India. Despite this growth, BCI is still family-owned, with Mr. Conzelmann’s son Roger currently serving as the company’s president. “We’re a fast-growing company that takes pride in retaining and taking care of our employees, without a single layoff,” says Sean Smith, plant manager for small-diameter turning.

BCI produces precision parts for a range of industries, including aerospace, medical, power generation, nuclear and electronics. The company also produces parts for the injection molding industry, including families of injection molding nozzles. These nozzles can have different thread sizes, OD profiles and internal features. They also have tight tolerances, within ±10 microns, Mr. Smith says. He also notes that BCI is the sole supplier of nozzle tips for one customer that has very short lead times. “Demand is high, and our customer is trying to grow by 20 or 30%,” he says. The expedited work, combined with a stocking agreement BCI must maintain, puts the company in a challenging situation. To keep up with the work, it purchased two new Citizen lathes, which can manufacture complete parts in two minutes.

Mr. Smith and quality insurance inspector Brent Cordy knew that the facility was going to need a more efficient inspection system to keep up with the parts coming off the new machines. The company performs 100% inspection on these parts, and Mr. Cordy estimates that inspectors spent three to five minutes measuring each part using profile projectors. Facing a bottleneck in inspection, the two launched a continuous improvement project to find a faster system.

This project led them to the Starrett booth at the 2017 CMTS trade show, where they saw the HRV100-Flip digital video inspection system. They were so impressed that they purchased the unit that had been on display one day after leaving. “I didn’t let it go back over the border,” Mr. Smith jokes.

Increasing Throughput

Mr. Smith and Mr. Cordy say the Flip system has several features that have enabled BCI to increase its inspection throughput:

Fast program creation. According to Mr. Cordy, he and the other BCI inspectors were able to quickly learn the new system. Users can create inspection programs for new parts by tracing them on the system’s touch screen and choosing the correct measurements, angles, distances and line straightness. “It’s pretty intuitive,” he says. Employees were able to create their own programs in less than a week, and they can now create two or three programs per day.
Automatic part recognition. Once the program is created, Mr. Cordy says it only takes a few seconds for the system to inspect a part. Automatic part recognition establishes and recognizes the OD feature of the part, pulls up the correct program and inspects the part automatically.
Multiple part inspection. The system also has the capability to inspect multiple parts at the same time. Mr. Smith says BCI can fit as many as 10 injection molding nozzles on the Flip system at once.

System Flexibility

BCI also benefits from the Flip system’s versatility:

Configuration. The Starrett Flip can be configured horizontally or vertically, and the company has its system on a table that enables users to switch the orientation based on part size and fixturing. “Depending on the application and what we’re checking, sometimes it’s easier to do it vertically or horizontally,” Mr. Smith says.
Custom thread measurement. The system can also measure threads, which BCI finds especially helpful since the nozzles have external threads that must be checked. The software can also be configured to measure custom thread sizes, which the company uses for parts that are plated after machining.
Environment. The Flip is suited to industrial environments and can be used on the shop floor. BCI has its system located at the front of its shop floor so that a range of employees can access it for different types of inspection. Inspectors can check finished parts, and machinists can also use it to cross-check parts for tool wear and to help calculate offsets.

Far-Reaching Benefits

Overall, Mr. Smith and Mr. Cordy say the Flip system has exceeded their expectations. They estimate that it has increased inspection throughput by 75%. The system is so efficient that the shop is finding other uses for it beyond the nozzles, such as incoming inspections. “We measure a lot of our subcontractors’ work,” Mr. Smith says. “This system has allowed us to get through this type of sample inspection check.”

The system is also freeing up employees to take on other work. BCI has 30 “tech support” employees who are qualified in, but not dedicated to, inspection. Since implementing the Starrett Flip system, the company does not need to task these employees with inspections as frequently. Instead, they can work on setting up machines or other continuous improvement projects. BCI, like many other shops, is continually seeking skilled workers, so using its employees as efficiently as possible is important.

Illustrations of jigs on cnc lathes

For separate devices of different jigs we have the following information about the use of jigs on CNC milling machines:

1. Pneumatic clamp device.

Air operated with pressure, jigs work to produce compressed air.

2. Hydraulic clamping device.

For the purpose of creating the necessary clamping and movement force when using hydraulic piston, these devices are controlled by a manually operated valve on the clamping force for precise control and read by a display mechanism.

3. Electrical clamping device.

During the clamping and removal of the clamp by the electronic clutch in the spindle clamp device on the cnc milling machine is locked, so the entire torque is transmitted to the chuck. Along with rotary motion, the clamping force is created by the screw-coupling system - screw wheel. From there they have the ability to quickly adjust to capture many different diameters of details.

Above are some information about jigs on cnc lathes. Hope the information above is useful to all of you!

Yamaha Y15ZR / Exciter 2019 launched in Malaysia, the price has not been disclosed

Yamaha has officially launched the Malaysian customer version 2019 of the hand-held model Y15ZR / Exciter called Y15ZR V2 2019. In Vietnam, Y15ZR is known as Exciter, however, in the Vietnamese market, Exciter Still being sold in version 2018 (launched in early August last year) for a price of VND 47 million.

Distributed genuine by Hong Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM) but Yamaha Y15ZR 2019 selling price is still a secret, and this secret will be revealed by HLYM in April.

Yamaha Y15ZR V2 2019 in Malaysia has 4 color options: Striking Cyan, Blazing Red, Storm Blue and Dynamic Gray. When buying Y15ZR 2019, customers will be given a disc brake worth 100 RM (~ 571 thousand VND).

As you know, the biggest change for Yamaha Y15ZR V2 2019 lies in the headlight design, with new shape and using more modern LED lights. The car is equipped with an LCD screen to replace the traditional analog clock.

According to the specifications of 2019 Y15ZR in other Southeast Asian countries, Y15ZR in Malaysia will also have some size adjustments. Specifically, the body is 20mm longer, 15mm taller, 15mm taller, so that the Y15ZR V2 weighs more than 2 kg compared to the old model.

Another reason is that the car is equipped with a larger front tire in size 90 / 80-17. In addition, the rear suspension has also been redesigned, the wider front fenders to match the new tires, the emergency headlight and on / off engine switches are also added.

Powering Yamaha Y15ZR 2019 is still a single cylinder SOHC engine block, 150cc capacity, liquid cooled, 5-speed gearbox combination, just like the old version. The output capacity reaches 15.18 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 13.8 Nm of maximum torque at 7,000 rpm, the fuel tank capacity remains the same at 4.2 liters.

Organizational capacity of mold businesses
In Vietnam, only a few businesses are trying to apply relevant international quality certificates. About 70% of businesses do not follow any criteria because the industry tends to adopt Japanese standards of 5S, Kaizen, and so on, and because their customers are mostly from Japan, therefore, businesses only pay attention to standards to meet the demands of these customers.

According to the evaluation, the contracting time of Vietnamese enterprises is about 240-260 hours / mold, 2.5 times higher than Japan and equivalent to some other Asian countries.

mold business

Countries with advanced industries such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan ... have formed a combination model of association, to specialize in high quality mold production, for each different technology field. as:

- Specializing in designing and manufacturing plastic molds, cold stamping molds, hot stamping molds, pressure molds, melting molds, automatic stamping molds ...

- Specialized in designing and manufacturing standard parts for mold manufacturing;

- Specialized in providing heat treatment services for mold manufacturing companies;

- Supplying various kinds of cutting tools for processing molds;

- Specializing in providing specialized software CAD / CAM / CIMATRON, CAE ...

- Specialized in performing measurement and inspection services of mold quality ...

Coherence of mold businesses in the world
Open-link models help businesses have conditions to invest in each field with CNC applications, towards automating the production process, in order to improve product quality and maximize efficiency. Force your device.

In every country, forming professional associations in the mold manufacturing industry. In particular, countries in the group of 6 developed countries in ASEAN also established their own association for mold manufacturing industry such as:

- Association of mold and die molds

- Japan Mold Industry Association (Japan Die & Mold Industry)

- Thai Mold Industry Association (TDIA)

- China die & mold industry association - China die & mold industry association

- Mold Industry Association Indonesia (Indonesia mold & dies industry association (IMDIA

....

the coherence of Vietnamese mold enterprises

The linkage of Vietnamese mold enterprises
Vietnam is lacking an organization that can assemble mold-making enterprises to improve product quality as well as establish a network of links. Currently, mold manufacturing activities are still in operation of a number of industry associations such as Mechanical Association, Plastic Industry Association ...

The production cooperation activities of Vietnamese mold manufacturing enterprises are relatively diverse. There are a number of businesses that provide specialized services in the process of manufacturing mold products, typically heat treatment and machining services.

However, linking production of molded products is still only on a small scale and has not yet formed an affiliate network. Enterprises still operate relatively independently and the production of molds is limited within the enterprise.

This can be explained by the fact that Vietnam has not yet formed mold manufacturing associations at the national scale as well as regional and local scale to specialize and share resources. Currently there are 2 clubs to gather Vietnamese model companies which are Viet Nhat Model Club (mainly focusing on Northern region companies) and TP Model Club. HCM. However, there are not many large companies with strong production capacity to join the club and the government is not concerned about the need to have a national mold business association.
