According to reports, Proton says it will reevaluate all its vendors as it sets out to ready its plant for the production of its new global car, slated to enter the market early 2012.
Proton MD Datuk Seri Syed Zainal Abidin said the more stringent reevaluation of the Proton vendors is to minimise the level of defects in the new car. “At the moment, we have identified 20 Proton vendors from the 108 for our new model. Some vendors will be merged to ensure a better quality of production,” he told reporters yesterday.
The reports add that the company has also signed a MoU with the National Productivity Corporation to enhance the abilities of its vendors through a Business Excellence Practices (BEx) model, which represents a working structure capable of evaluating the performance of a company in terms of leadership, customer focus, planning, information, processes and outcome.
“The target objective is to enhance the ability of the Proton vendors to be more competitive, in line with the government initiative, as outlined in the Third Industrial Masterplan,” said Syed Zainal.
