Collaborative Efforts Across Departments
The review meeting on 12 August 2024 was a testament to the collaborative spirit that defines YADA. Each department plays a crucial role in our quality assurance process:
At the beginning of the meeting, the
Quality Control Department demonstrated the key quality control points in the production process through detailed data analysis and made suggestions to improve product quality. Immediately after, the
QC Department revealed the current quality status of the products with rigorous testing data, demonstrating how we have met and even exceeded industry standards.
Afterwards, the Warehouse Manager reported the latest inventory situation and material management strategy, showing how efficient inventory management can support the smooth production process. The Machine Maintenance Team, on the other hand, brought in their latest report on equipment maintenance. Through their efforts, the production equipment is kept in optimal condition, reducing downtime and guaranteeing production continuity and efficiency.
The Workshop Supervisor described the day-to-day operations of the workshop, including coordinating the work of operators and dealing with unexpected machine breakdowns or bottlenecks in the production line. He illustrated with case studies how small process adjustments have improved production efficiency while ensuring that every product meets quality standards.
The Plant Manager explained the data monitoring of the production system and emphasised the importance of data, pointing out that we no longer rely on intuition but on accurate data to make decisions. He mentioned specific cases of how timely adjustments were made when a production parameter was found to be out of standard, ensuring a significant increase in product excellence that week. "Our goal is to constantly go above and beyond," he said, "and using this data, we are able to drive innovation, optimise processes and improve efficiency."
Finally, the O&M staff shared their optimisation measures for the production system to ensure that every aspect of the production process is executed efficiently and accurately. We concluded the session by reaffirming our commitment to quality and discussing how we can continue to enhance our products and services through collaboration and innovation. We recognise that every detail is critical and every effort is a demonstration of our commitment to our customers.
This regular production meeting was not only a review of current efforts, but also a pursuit of future excellence. We will continue to strive to optimise our production processes and improve the quality of our products to provide our customers with impeccable wooden knives, forks, spoons cutlery set and ice cream sticks.
