\u201cIWAY is the accelerator for us to become the leader and a dream
\nplace to work in the industry\u201d
\n\u201cTable top supplier Silechannel is one of the best manufacturers and after-sales service providers
\nin the silestone table top industry. Since 2017, we work with them to provide table top for IKEA
\nHong Kong store. IKEA business only shares around 1% of Silechannel\u2019s overall business, but they
\nhave invested greatly to implement IWAY in the factory.
\nWhat motivate Silechannel to implement IWAY when IKEA business only take a very small share?
\nWe interviewed Richard Ma, the Managing Director of Silechannel to understand his thinking
\nbehind.<\/p>\n
In the silestone table top industry, most of the factories are in small scale. Silechannel was also a
\nsmall workshop 20 years ago. However, it\u2019s always no doubt to us that we shall be the best company
\nand the best employer in the industry. I visited many factories in Australia and Europe,
\nlearnt the most up to date production technique and management system from those factories. In
\nrecent decade, we\u2019ve been improved tremendously in management level and production competence.
\nLast year, we have achieved 35% business growth. As we also provide after-sales service to individual
\nconsumer, we set our goal to secure 0 complaint from consumers.
\nWith the fast growing business trend, we must build up production capacity for future business. At
\nthe same time, secure a stable, skillful, healthy and motivated workforce is the key success factor to
\ndrive our company from great to the best.
\nBut how?
\nI realized IKEA\u2019s IWAY requirements actually point out clearly what we need to do in details and they
\nhave a whole team of experts to support us in the hows, for free! Especially in setting up mature
\nmanagement system, providing effective protection and support to engage and motivate workers.
\nWe build up water treatment facilities in order to circulate waste water back to the production line.
\nWe managed to recycle 90% of water from the production to control dust emission. As a result, we
\nreduced 90% of dust emission in the relevant workshop.
\nTo enlarge production capability and control working hours, we invested in machinery to lift up the
\nautomation level. We plan to train our workers to be machine operators, so that they will not worry
\nabout being replaced by machines, and will be able to gain good salary through high competence
\ninstead of heavy overtime working.<\/p>\n
Implement IWAY in the factory that produces IKEA products is the first step, moving forward, we
\nplan to implement IWAY also in our other factories to lift up the management level and production
\nefficiency & capacity in all of our factories. I have strong faith that in 5 years, Silechannel will
\nbecome the leading company in global silestone table top industry, and become the first choice of
\npeople to work with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
