Outstanding female worker in creative labor

Ms. Nguyen Thi Lien Hoa, born in 1998, has constantly learned and researched and created a breakthrough initiative that is highly appreciated throughout the company. . Ms. Hoa's initiative called "Innovation to reduce costs by changing carpet suppliers of automatic cutting machines" comes from practical concerns in the production process. .

Previously, the company's automatic cutting machines used carpets from supplier Atom, which were quite expensive (over 16 million VND/piece) and had a lifespan of only about 3 months for 2 shifts. This causes a significant waste of operating costs.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Lien Hoa and her colleagues work on her initiative.

Based on the above reality, with the spirit of daring to think and daring to do, Ms. Hoa spent time researching the market and conducting field surveys to find a replacement carpet supplier. After testing, she found that the new carpet not only had similar quality and standards but also cost significantly less, only 8.1 million VND/piece. .

The change in carpet supplier has brought about outstanding economic efficiency. According to calculations, each new carpet helps save about more than 8 million VND. . Currently, there are 5 automatic cutting machines applying this improvement, with each machine using 4 carpets per year. . The total number of carpets applied with improvements in one year is 20. . From there, the total estimated cost savings of the improvement is a "huge" number of more than 169 million VND/year. .

Sharing about the process of implementing the initiative, Ms. Hoa said: "I am very happy and proud that my initiative has brought practical results to the company. From researching, testing to successfully applying, this process has helped me learn many things, especially the belief that every employee can contribute to the common development if they really care and dare to do it."

Ms. Hoa's initiative "Innovation to reduce costs by changing carpet suppliers of automatic cutting machines" has been officially applied since November 16, 2023 and the production process (SOP) has been updated since March 7, 2024. . The scope of application of the solution is not only limited to the automatic cutting line of Factory B of Apache Vietnam Shoes Company Limited but can also be widely applied to other businesses in the same leather and footwear manufacturing industry. .

Ms. Le Thi Ngoc Han, Chairwoman of the Trade Union of Apache Shoes Vietnam Co., Ltd., said that not only stopping at economic efficiency, Ms. Hoa's initiative also brings great social value. . The successful implementation of an innovation project with high economic efficiency by an individual has created a widespread motivation, encouraging the spirit of continuous work and improvement in the enterprise, contributing to the development of a culture of production improvement in the unit. . Thanks to that, the company's products increase competitiveness in the market, contributing to the goal of sustainable development. .

With her outstanding contributions, in 2024, Ms. Hoa was awarded the "First Prize Medal in the Kaizen Competition H2-2024" by Apache Vietnam Shoes Co., Ltd. This is a worthy recognition for the tireless efforts of Ms. Hoa - a female worker who loves her job and is dedicated to her work.

In addition to her achievements in production and labor, Ms. Hoa is also an exemplary union member. She always complies with the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws, and complies with labor laws and company regulations. She actively participates in cultural, sports and art movements and social funds organized by the Union, contributing to building a strong Union organization. .
