Message Dr Lim Ser Yong Executive Director Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology Congratulations, participants of the joint SIMTech-WDA Precision Engineering (PE) Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) Programmes for completing your training. Ongoing relevant skills upgrading is critical for a sustainable career in today’s work environment. In manufacturing, for example, the local landscape is constantly evolving due to changing global economic growth and the ongoing journey towards high value and more complex manufacturing activities. These developments pose challenges for companies and professionals, managers and executives (PMEs). New skill sets or capabilities have to be acquired continuously to be able to apply innovative technology or techniques in complex or changing manufacturing environment. Up-skilling ourselves and organisations’ upgrading are a way of life. The SIMTech-WDA PE WSQ Programmes, in various manufacturing-related and productivity enhancement courses, are designed to meet the technology and skillsets gaps of organisations and PMEs. To date, we have launched 20 WSQ training programmes in the areas of manufacturing processes, automation and operational management systems. More than 1700 PMEs (or more than 4400 SOAs) have been trained or embarked on the journey to upgrade their expertise and contributed to their organisations. I hope that this journey has been enriching and rewarding for you as you invested in time and resources. Your graduation ceremony today is a celebration of your achievements. Encouraged by the outcome and emerging industry need, SIMTech will continue to work with WDA to roll out more relevant courses to grow PMEs, organisations and industry for the future. MESSAGE 3

Message Dr Gog Soon Joo Group Director, Training Partners Group Singapore Workforce Development Agency The Precision Engineering (PE) industry is an important pillar of the manufacturing sector, contributing about 12 per cent of manufacturing output and employing more than 20 per cent of the manufacturing workforce. It provides crucial support to key industries such as aerospace, oil and gas, medical devices and electronics. As the manufacturing sector evolves, companies engaging in PE activities are transforming themselves and are moving up the value chain. There is a need to raise the capabilities of the local PE workforce and equip them with relevant knowledge and competencies to support these higher value-added activities. To help companies to improve their productivity, SIMTech has been delivering the PE WSQ training courses in an effective Learn-Practise-Implement model. One example is the WSQ Operations Management Innovation (OMNI) Programme, which aims to train key personnels in OmniMethodology, to achieve productivity improvements and operational excellence through classroom training and on-the-job-mentoring. Today’s graduation ceremony is testament to SIMTech’s dedication and commitment to nurture highly-skilled PE professionals. The number of PE WSQ programmes that SIMTech delivers has grown from one in 2007, to 20 in 2015 and the number of trainees has increased from 66 in 2007 to more than 1700 in 2015. More than 800 companies have benefited from SIMTech’s WSQ training programmes, among which, about 70 per cent are local SMEs. SIMTech has developed and rolled out many niche programmes, such as manufacturing processes MESSAGE 4

in metals, polymers, surface engineering, and advanced welding technologies to support industries that are critical to our economy. I would like to offer my heartiest congratulations to this year’s graduands of SIMTech’s PE WSQ programmes and wish them all the best in their careers. I would also like to express my appreciation to all participating employers and industry partners. Your strong endorsement is crucial to the success of the partnership between WDA and SIMTech, and we look forward to your continued support. MESSAGE 5

TrTeasitinmeoneiasls “The PE WSQ OMNI programme has helped me initiate steps to improve the Galley Manufacturing Process and increase output by 33%. I managed to reduce the ‘Order-to-Delivery’ process by 41% through business process re-engineering . Applying the techniques taught in the programme has helped my company reduce the cost-of-poor-quality (COPQ) of incoming parts by up to 96% from our subcontractors. The positive experience has inspired me to continue my learning journey with SIMTech. I encourage others to do the same.” Mr Anthony Soon Beng Hock Manager, Materials Planning JAMCO SIngapore Pte Ltd “After attending the PE WSQ LEAN Programme at SIMTech, I decided to implement a number of Kaizen ideas that were taught to my actual work processes. A seemingly simple decision to produce our films in-house has already seen a 20% improvement in our lead time and almost $60K savings per year. Earlier, I used to hear criticism that “Lean was not for the creative industry” but now, together with my company and SIMTech’s LEAN mentors, we have proved them wrong!” Miss Wincey Woon Shi Moi Design Manager Axxel Marketing “I am grateful to the SIMTech mentors of the PE WSQ Programme in OEE who have helped me push for productivity improvements that have benefitted my company. By implementing a number of initiatives taught in the course, we have reduced machine down time and electrode set-up time by 26%. The set-up work piece time has also been reduced by 33%.“ Mr Ong Eng Seng Senior Tooling Manager TestimonialsUnivac Precision Engineering Pte Ltd 25

InTdesutimsotnriyalsPartners “Huationg Holdings sent a total of 15 candidates for a corporate batch of the PE WSQ OMNI Programme in 2014 from: Huationg (Asia) Pte Ltd, Huationg Inland Transport Service Pte Ltd, and Hua Resources Pte Ltd. Together with the mentors, our staff involved in the course identified a total of 20 productivity initiatives that were subsequently implemented by the team. By doing so, we achieve productivity improvements to about 30%.” Mr Jimmy Chua CEO Huationg Holdings Pte Ltd “This year, we have Kulicke & Soffa employees graduating from SIMTech’s Carbon, OMNI, Metal Manufacturing, and Mechatronics courses and we are very proud of each of their achievements. A case in point is the PE WSQ Carbon Programme that aligns with our own Sustainability Steering Committee that looks to develop in-house sustainability champions within our company. Through this programme, our company has identified hotspots for improvement, with the potential to reduce our carbon footprint by 20% and significantly increase cost savings per year.” Mr Shai Soloveizik VP Equipment Manufacturing/GM Singapore Kulicke & Soffa Pte Ltd “We had sent our managers, supervisors and engineers to attend the PE WSQ Programme in Implement Lean Manufacturing in 2014 and 2015 at SIMTech. We have had good responses from our colleagues by implementing what was taught in the course. A total of more than 50 projects were received to date. A significant number of these have been implemented. Our productivity has increased and the man-hours in some processes have also reduced significantly. The programme is beneficial to us. I am sure other companies will benefit too if they embark on this programme. “ Mr Vincent Tan Managing Director MTQ Engineering Pte Ltd Testimonials26
