Individual-country Observational Study Mission on Learning Experiences in Benchmarking and Best Practices on Productivity

Dr. Nguyen Hoang Linh, Deputy Director of the Directorate for Standards, Metrology and Quality (STAMEQ), expressed his willingness to take part in the benchmarking program of the center during the APO work conference in October 2018, and thereafter submitted an official application to the Secretariat for an observational study in Taiwan. The visit is mainly to understand the “Productivity Again” Readiness Assessment System established by the center, as well as study and collect relevant information. It is hoped that the assessment system may be implemented from the Vietnam government to all industries of Vietnam, thereby enhancing the productivity of the country.

The center made use of the opportunity to share the background, process and implementation of the iBench.4.0 assessment system, and introduced the policies and achievements of smart machinery promotion in Taiwan to the Vietnamese delegation in the hope of creating bilateral cooperation opportunities in the near future.
