KUCHING: 15 participants are targeted to join the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) inaugural “Business Excellence Best Practice Study Visit to Jakarta” from 15- 20 May, 2017.
Themed “Strengthening Cooperation, Building Opportunities”, the study visit will provide an opportunity for Business Excellence (BE) practitioners to obtain information about best practices adopted by organisations in Indonesia as well as mutual exchange of knowledge and skills on BE and the BE framework with organisations in Indonesia.
The Director of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), Griffith Jones Goba revealed this at a press conference held at Hilton Hotel here yesterday.
Also present was MPC Senior Consultant, Jerry Shahnizal Ab Aziz.
Griffith said Jakarta was chosen because organisations in Indonesia were among the early ones in implementing the BE. “Many organisations in Indonesia also practise BE and have a more systematic system for benchmarking.
“In addition, Indonesia and Malaysia share common cultures which allow sharing of best practices more effectively,” he added.
Among the programmes drawn up for the six-day study visit are workshops, sharing sessions and benchmarking visit.
“Four companies will be benchmarked, namely, Telkom Indonesia (the sole telecommunication company in Indonesia), Jasamarga (responsible for designing, building, operating and maintaining tolls and roads in Indonesia), Krakatau Steel (the largest steel producer in Indonesia) and Ports & Services which is capable of handling 12 million tons of cargo a day through its Cigading Port,” said Griffith. So far, 10 persons have registered to join the study visit to Jakarta.
The fee is RM7,287 per person, including the round trip flight ticket (Kuching-Kuala Lumpur-Jakarta), accommodation, meals, transportation and training materials.To know more about the visit, call 082-439959/082-439960 or email to sko@mpc.gov.my and the registration deadline is in mid-April.
