Congress was almost start and Hong Kong teams were well prepared.


Traditional Thai dancing performance was showed in the beginning.


Firstly, Dr. Pasu Loharjun (Former Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Industry) gave Welcome Speech.  He said world had changed rapidly and all business especially industry entrepreneurs faced this challenge.  Success business should focus on consistency of their production and products “Quality”. 


Secondly, Dr. Panisuan Jamnarnwej (Chairman, ANQ; President, SQAT) gave Opening Remarks.  Firstly, he introduced Bangkok (locally called Krung Thep) – the City of Angels has the cultural heritage befitting a capital city of almost 240 years, as well as modern infrastructures to function as the regional hub bustling with economic activities.  The Congress high-lights were keynote presentation by ANQ founders, award-winning firms and individual professional to share experiences of highest value for the advancement of quality across industries.  


The first keynote speaker was Prof. Dr. Noriaki Kano (Professor Emeritus, Tokyo University of Science; Honorary Chairperson, ANQ) and his topic entitled “Innovation for Sustainability – Quality Development in Service Industries”.  Prof. Kano said “While manufacturing dynamically grew in Asia in 20th century, service industries shall be more and more developed in 21st century.”  


Prof. Kano added that according to the growth trend of service industry in Asia (see diagram below), we needed not only problem-solving for existing system but also innovating or breaking through for existing system and creation by innovative approaches for sustainability.


Then Prof. Kano stated his old book named “TQM in Service Industries” published 30 years ago (JUSE Press 1990).  He updated three activity elements of TQM in Servcie Industries in 2010s that included humanware (Hmn/W), hardware (H/W) and software (S/W).  Then he raised a case of bipolarization of commodity service or first class service.  It was found that “Customer delight beyond customer satisfaction is a key to success.”


Another case he mentioned was “Innovation for Safety Enhancement through GPS Alert System by SCG Logistic Management Company (Thai)” that introduced traffic safety enhancement which integrated GPS Alert Management, Smart Driver System and Collaboration with Carrier Owners.  Alert management separated into 5 types alerts which monitored by ICT system in the following diagram.  Lastly, Prof. Kano concluded that Service Quality was not only dependent on humanware but also hardware and software.  Since data collection and analysis had become remarkably easier, the application of process management and control by data was common.  Generally, the gap between service quality management and product management had been and would be reducing with the lapse of time.


At the end, Prof. Kano asked us to take lessons from the past (on Problem Solving) and then to find a guide into tomorrow Innovation and Task Achieving.  He also discussed the weakness of innovation.  After Prof. Kano’s talk, my understanding was that innovation could be come from problem solving.


The second keynote speaker was Dr. Witoon Simachokedee (President of the Kasetsart University Royal Alumni Association; Previous Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Industry) (Right 1) and his presentation topic was “And… Quality still means Survival for Sustainability”.


Firstly, Dr. Witoon showed some posters indicating “Quality Means Survival” and “There is No Alternative for Sustainable Development”.  He is the key role in cartoon style to present this concept. 


Then Dr. Witoon briefed the Fourth Industrial Revolution that separated into three sectors and they were “Digitization/Integration of value chains”, “Digitization of product and service offerings” and “Digital business models and customer access”. 


After that he mentioned three powerful forces of digital age below.
-          Continuous changes in customers’ needs,
-          Ubiquitous innovation,
-          Global market, customers and competition.


Lastly, he concluded from quality to sustainability through Sustainable Plants (Infrastructure), Products (High performance) and Practices (Innovative processes).


The third keynote speaker was Mr. Guo Jun (Marketing Operations Director, Xiaomi Corporation, China) and he shared Xiaomi’s sustainability activities to us.  Firstly, he said “Xiaomi is an internet company that focuses on mobile devices, smart hardware, and IoT.”
