Salam 1Malaysia…..

  

  This week in my class Introduction To System Electronic….has attend a lecture about The Electronic         System Related To The Industry Automation-Japanese.The lecture was given by Mr Muhammad Azlan Bin Amran.He is a Senior General Manager,administrator center at Canon Malaysia..He was worked at Canon Malaysia about 20 years,so he has many experience in the world of work and Japanese culture work.It is because Canon is a company from japan.

    He was started the lecture by Introduced his company,Canon Opto Malaysia.He was explain about canon philosophy.Canon philosophy is “kyosei”.It was created by founded of Canon,means “living and working together for the common good”.He also showed some products that produced by Canon.Example DSLR camera,and others.At the Canon opto Malaysia only maked lens for DSLR.Example the lens that they were maked id Sperical lens and penta prism.

   He also explain the manufacturing company rules at Canon Opto Malaysia.The first rule is Products design,second is product development,third is product mass production trial,The fourth rule is product mass production and the last is sales and service.

  The Canon company is a big company.Canon Company must generated a new model products with the new technologies to the users.Canon must make a new technologies to compete with the other company..example SAMSUNG,NIKON,PANASONIC,and others company. always want to full the market demand. so, there are 4 features that must be in a product that produced from Canon. they are EQCD. what is the meaning of that word? here, i tell you okay. E = environment even though Canon want to full the market demand, they also considered the environment. for me, this is the one of the best ways to protect the environment from pollution. although the technology increase rapidly nowadays, we must think our environment too. This way can help the next generation to live happily. Q = Quality, even the price is expensive but have the best quality, it will be choose by the customer. C = cost, the cost before produce the product are decided early. there were not only have expensive price, there also have the lower price. The product also can be own by everyone. D = delivery they also can deliver the product to any place.

   Then,he was talked about the world of work and Japanese work culture.He also story about his experience and problem while working.He was started by the Japanese Work Culture,first Japanese work culture Is “HORENSO” .HORENSO was combining from three Japanese words.The words is “HOU”,”REN”,”SODAN”…”HOU” is means report. Report to your supervisor or project leader, to communicate the situation and status, or to seek information or advice as necessary.”REN” it means contact. Update your team members on the situation of your project, so that everyone knows what you’re doing. They will be able to take action accordingly, and work parallel with you.”SODAN” is means consultation, Consult with stakeholders, such as clients and those impacted by the project, to see whether this is what they want, and how you can improve.We can take the advice when we had a problem and others people can helped.

   

    Second is “SAN-GEN” means 3-gen.First is “genba”,”genbutsu”,”genjitsu”.”GENBA” means real place.  in concrete terms: go to the shop floor to understand the reality. This is a more effective method than simply reading a report.It means if some place had occurred some accident or problem,people incharge must go to that placed and make investigation what the factor that the problem or accident had occurred.”GENBUTSU” it means real part or actual thing.In concrete terms: look at the real part or the real service provided (whether good or bad) and analyze it while focusing on the facts.It mean people were incharged must see the thing that can make the accident were occurs.”GENJITSU”means reality. speak with data for a better understanding of the reality in the field.

  

  The 5S Process, or simply "5S", is a structured program to systematically achieve total organization, cleanliness, and standardization in the workplace. A well-organized workplace results in a safer, more efficient, and more productive operation.  It boosts the morale of the workers, promoting a sense of pride in their work and ownership of their responsibilities. "5S" was invented in Japan, and stands for five (5) Japanese words that start with the letter 'S': Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke.
