The first speaker was Mr. Herbert Lee (Director, ISIHK) and his topic entitled "How to re-sharpen winning edges from those days – Never Say Never". He would like to share two cases to us. The first case was how to prolonging service live of machine by strengthening some mechanical transmission parts. A 12-year-old filling machine needed to run full speed and long hours in daily production (900 bottles / hour). Every 4 screws needed to carry about 1000kg up & down for more than 250 times a day!
Herbert said 6 sigma was able to help to find out the problem and reason but missing how to solute it. However, TRIZ could give a thinking direction to find the solution.
The following table demonstrated how to use TRIZ contradiction table to identify the useful innovation principle so as to extend the service life of screws & nuts. After implemented the new double nuts, less spare parts consumed, less OT paid for labor due to down time and more production hours. The ROI was about 6 months.
Herbert shared the second case was how to re-arrange water distribution system for drastic fluctuation of cooling water demand. Some problems included poor pipe work created unnecessary & unevenly back pressure to some plants, poor cooling effect in some towers and difficult to control water temperature, etc. After the new arrangement, some improvements by automatic control were identified. The ROI estimated to be 3yr. Finally, he concluded “We do not have to live with the pain inherited from history. Our destiny is on our hand & bright future is ahead.”
Mr. Roy Tse (ISI) was the second speaker and his presentation named "My A, B, C, D View of INNOVATION". He shared his innovation through Ambition, Bravery, Career and Dream. He said “Innovation is a new idea, method or invention.”
Firstly, Roy explained “A stands for Ambition” which is the determination to be successful, rich & powerful, etc; and a strong desire to achieve something. Then B stands for Bravery which was actions, behavior, or an attitude that shows courage and confidence. He used two persons “Hitler” and “Einstein” to explain only having Ambition or Bravery but without Innovation, the result was so different. But Innovation usually needs Bravery!
Then Roy shared his Career. (Career means “A job or profession that you have been trained for and intend to do for several years.”). He also introduced the Dream “Something you hope for and want to happen very much”.
Finally, Roy concluded the sequence of ABCD should be D>A>B>C>D(A).
At the end, we took a group photo for memory.
