HKSQ Student Project Competition Plant Pre-visit

HKSQ Student Project Competition (Company-based) is our annual event for five universities students studied in the industrial related departments (including HKU, CUHK, HKUST, PolyU and CityU) since 2005. The previous student project competition was based on university student final year project since 1993/94. In 2016/17, we appreciated Sanmina-SCI (China) Ltd. as our company sponsor. In order to make the project more smooth, we had some meetings and pre-visit to the plant before the competition. Dr. KS Chin (Former Chairman, HKSQ), Mr. Peter Fung (Chairman, HKSQ) and I visited Sanmina’s Shenzhen plant on 2^nd Dec 2016. In the beginning, we discussed the project with Sanmina’s top management.

Then we walked around the production line and discussed what items suitable for students to collect information for different questions in the competition. Mr. William Chui (VP/Plant Manager, IMS Shenzhen, Greater China Operation) introduced the overall operation to us.

Some visualized online management was observed.

Wow! The auto-trolley for parts was employed. The first time I saw this auto-trolley was in Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (Oppama Plant) during ANQ Congress’s Technical Visit in 2009.

Most repeating operations were automated

After visited the plant, they introduced the background and management in Sanmina Shenzhen plant to us. Their end to end quality management service was introduced.

Plant capability included PCB assembly, Backplane, Box Build System Integration, Medical Device & Equipment and Optical PCBA & System Integration.

We took a group photo before lunch.
