P&Q Initiatives - 5S by En Abdul Malek Mohamad Aripin, <strong>MPC</strong><br />
A briefing on the Quality Environment (QE/5S)<br />
techniques drew the attention of the participants on<br />
the merits of enculturation and mustering quality<br />
environment practices. Quality Environment or 5S is<br />
an acronym for five Japanese words - Seiri, Seiso,<br />
Seiketsu and Shitsuke.<br />
Thus the increasing number of companies going for<br />
QE/5S audit and certification as the physical work<br />
environment is critical for high quality, low cost and<br />
speedy delivery. Achieving certification is a “public<br />
declaration” of one’s commitment to quality<br />
environment.<br />
A clean, tidy, safe and better workplace will bring<br />
about much benefits such as improved productivity,<br />
standardisation measures, more orderliness hence<br />
less time to retrieve and search for items - saving<br />
time, promoting work efficiency, enhanced teamwork<br />
spirit , developing kaizen mindset of employees and<br />
ultimately enhanced quality products and services.<br />

Speech by <strong>MPC</strong> Director General At The Closing<br />
Ceremony & Certificates Presentation<br />
Assalamualaikum WBT.<br />
Distinguished guests, participants of the MTCP/OIC,<br />
Ladies and gentlemen.<br />
On behalf of Malaysia Productivity Corporation, I extend a<br />
warm welcome to all guests to this evening's function. It<br />
gives me great pleasure to be here this afternoon for the<br />
closing of the MTCP/OIC Programme on Promotion of<br />
Organisational Excellence and Competitiveness for the<br />
year 2009.<br />
Over the last 4 years, <strong>MPC</strong> has been organising this<br />
MTCP programme for OIC countries and to date, <strong>10</strong>0<br />
participants have benefited from the programme. With<br />
close co-operation from the Economic Planning Unit (EPU)<br />
and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, <strong>MPC</strong> is proud to deliver<br />
and to share Malaysian experiences to participants from<br />
OIC member countries. This is a manifestation of<br />
Malaysia's continued commitment to the members of OIC<br />
countries. Sharing of experiences and assisting in<br />
improvements using various management systems will<br />
enable participants to achieve their higher capability and<br />
competency in running businesses or organisations.<br />
Under the MTCP/OIC banner, the networking created<br />
through various training programmes and sharing of<br />
experiences have in fact recorded some remarkable<br />
achievements. In this context, <strong>MPC</strong> and surely Malaysia<br />
are very happy to be part of these unique experiences and<br />
expertise and knowledge sharing.<br />
The successful completion of this programme is indeed<br />
satisfactory to both <strong>MPC</strong> and the participants of the programme.<br />
It marks the accomplishment of mandate and<br />
responsibility accorded to us under the Malaysia's<br />
Technical Cooperation Programme (MTCP). I believe the<br />
participants have benefitted a lot from the programme<br />
especially on identification of best practices for<br />
organisational excellence.<br />
Best practices are important for us:<br />
• To enable us to identify strengths, opportunities in<br />
our respective organisation.<br />
• To share experiences as well as exchange ideas<br />
among us in implementing best practices.<br />
• To develop benchmarking network and community<br />
between the host country and the participating OIC<br />
countries.<br />
The best practices are critical and contribute towards the<br />
development of a nation’s economic growth.<br />
Ladies and gentlemen,<br />
Finally, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate all<br />
the participants for successfully completing the<br />
programme and I hope all participants have also been<br />
able to witness the<br />
Malaysian way of<br />
life whilst attending<br />
the programme. I<br />
wish you all "bon<br />
voyage" as you<br />
proceed your<br />
journey back to<br />
your own country<br />
and hope that you<br />
have had a<br />
memorable stay in<br />
Malaysia. My very<br />
best wishes to all<br />
of you in your future endeavors.<br />
With that, I have great pleasure in declaring the<br />
programme on “Promotion of Organisational Excellence<br />
and Competitiveness for OIC countries” officially<br />
closed.<br />
Thank you.<br />

Note of Appreciation from the Representative - Participant from Oman.<br />
بسم االله الرحمن الرحيم<br />

Mr. Mohd Razali Hussain, Director<br />
General of <strong>MPC</strong>, Top Management<br />
of <strong>MPC</strong>, the facilitators, secretariat<br />
of MTCP and all other invited<br />
guests.<br />
I, Rashid Al Hinai and my other<br />
colleagues and participants<br />
welcome you to this closing<br />
program on “Promotion of<br />
Organisational Excellence and Competitiveness for OIC<br />
countries” which took place from 2 nd to 13 th November 2009<br />
at Grand Dorsett Subang hotel.<br />
After thanking ALLAH for everything, we would like to take<br />
this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to the<br />
Government of Malaysia represented by <strong>MPC</strong> organisation.<br />
We would also like to express our appreciation to all our<br />
lecturers and <strong>MPC</strong> staff who had made our stay successful<br />
either during the classes or outside the classes.<br />
Ladies and Gentlemen,<br />
We always believe that training and development add a<br />
great value to both employee and employer, thus we came<br />
from across the world to attend the course that we were<br />
assured at the end we will gain that knowledge and<br />
information which can help us to improve ourselves and our<br />
organisation. Starting from the first time we reached the<br />
airport to the end of the programme, we found all the hands<br />
and hearts were opened for all which made our stay<br />
fantastic to such extent that we did not feel that we were far<br />
from our families until the moment we are going to depart<br />
back to our countries carrying with us that great knowledge<br />
and fantastic memories about the country that we believe<br />
will soon be among the top developed countries.<br />
We came, we saw, we learned and we acquired<br />
knowledge to improve and impact on our organisations and<br />
countries. I advise myself and my colleagues to use all that<br />
we have learned from this course such as Benchmarking,<br />
TQM, KPI, 5S, ICC, Innovation and all other tools and also<br />
from the visits to improve our human resources and<br />
organisation which will lead to a better life.<br />
Ladies and Gentlemen,<br />
With all modesty I have attended many international<br />
training/courses but I must admit that this particular one is<br />
the best in times of the lecturers, materials and the<br />
participants - my colleagues. We learned and had fun; it<br />
reminded us of our study life. At this juncture, I wish to<br />
acknowledge that I was some time noisy and naughty so if<br />
I have offended anyone please accept my apology but trust<br />
me my heart is pure and I love all of you.<br />
The Director General of <strong>MPC</strong>, ladies and gentlemen, as we<br />
know if there is beginning there is always an end, but in<br />
our case I would like to encourage my colleagues to keep<br />
in touch with one another and with Malaysia for continuous<br />
sharing of best practices, knowledge and benchmarking.<br />
Last but not least we also<br />
appreciate all those who<br />
worked behind the scene<br />
whose contribution cannot be<br />
quantified but make the course<br />
successful. We also thank all<br />
the staff of this hotel especially<br />
the General Manager who<br />
made our stay unforgettable.<br />
At the end we thank ALLAH for<br />
his mercy upon us. I wish<br />
everybody safe journey back<br />
home.<br />
Thank you.<br />

All the site visits and<br />
programmes were very well<br />
arranged. I trust such<br />
programmes would continue<br />
to be offered to help others<br />
from other countries. More<br />
important, I hope more places<br />
for participants would be<br />
given to Sudan.<br />

The programme<br />
was very good<br />

me. It gave me<br />
skills, knowledge<br />
and new ideas about productivity<br />
concept and tools such as TQM and 5S.<br />

I will make a lecture<br />
about the course and<br />
explain the new things<br />
that I have learnt and if it<br />
is necessary I’ll prepare<br />

personnel and employees of the Plants<br />
where we visited as well.<br />
Buran<br />
The programme was<br />
organised at a high<br />
level and the most<br />
memorable moments<br />
were visiting<br />
Putrajaya & Petronas<br />
Twin Towers.<br />
Mohamed<br />
I’ll prepare a detailed report<br />
about this programme to both<br />
the training manager and HR<br />
sector’s chief, with my<br />
recommendations to apply<br />
managerial concept. I’ve also<br />
learnt a lot especially the 5S.<br />

The visit to Alor Gajah,<br />
Melaka, though a small<br />
town and away from the<br />
capital was very well<br />
organised and developed.<br />
Ahmed<br />
The programme is good. It would be<br />
great if the programme could be longer to<br />
include more details on the TQM section.<br />
I’ll make a report on how to apply<br />
5S when I’m back.<br />
I’ll make a report on how to apply 5S.<br />
Rashid<br />
Excellent, I am really so<br />
happy to get this chance,<br />
I gained a lot of new ideas.<br />
When I go back to Oman<br />
and office, I’ll deploy as<br />
much as I can on 5S, TQM<br />
and Innovation.<br />
Ghinwa<br />
A lot of P&Q tools and<br />
concepts have been covered<br />
within 2 weeks. Upon my<br />
return, I will provide awareness<br />
and training programmes<br />
and later implement some of<br />
the P&Q tools in various<br />
organisations in Syria.<br />

Learning the<br />
quality journey in<br />
the classroom and<br />
plant visits while<br />
enjoying the<br />
pleasure of<br />
participation in all<br />
discussions.<br />
Ravshan<br />
I got a lot of new and useful<br />
information such as 5S, KPI, P&Q<br />
Success Factors and<br />
e-Benchmarking. It was<br />
conducted by very experienced<br />
trainers.<br />
Haritha<br />
It was really nice and we<br />

enjoyed the stay.<br />
