As part of SEG’s close relationship with
Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF – formerly known as Singapore
Manufacturers’ Federation SMa), and the opportunity for a more holistic
education as a student in RP, the Logistics & Supply Chain Management
Society Interest Group (LSCMS IG) had tied up with SMF to support 2 of their
events in a hectic week.
On 30 Oct, SMF launched their 6th Centre of
Excellence, the Singapore Innovation and Productivity Institute (SiPi) during
their annual Singapore Innovation & Productivity Conference, which was
graced by Senior Minister of State for Trade & Industry and National
Development, Mr Lee Yi Shyuan, at Marina Bay Sands. Our students had rushed down
to MBS to help SMF prepare all the goodie bags the day before the event and had
to arrive at the venue very early on the day itself to assist in registration,
ushering and providing logistical support to make the event successful.
On 9 Nov, SMF jointly organized the annual
MAXA Manufacturing Excellence Community Event with EDB at SMU, which brought in
speakers such as Dr James P. Womach, Founder of the Lean Institute. Being a
more casual event, students dressed up in casual wear and jeans, but they still
had to perform similar roles in registration and ushering. On top of the
support they provided, they also had access to attend speeches by professionals
with inspiring and applicable insights towards productivity improvement, new
processes and techniques used by companies, and a wide breadth of topics on
lean tools and data analysis, during their role as helpers for these 2 days.
SMF is very pleased with the support that
this group of students has provided and will be preparing certificates of appreciation
for their effort, besides the transport allowance that they have given them. We
certainly look forward to more of such win-win collaborations for our SEG
students.
