Asian Network for Quality (ANQ) Congress 2019 was held
by Standard and Quality Association of Thailand (SQAT) in The Berkeley Hotel, Bangkok,
Thailand from 21-25 Oct 2019. The congress theme was “Quality Innovation for
Sustainability”. Day 1 of Congress is
held on 23rd Oct 2019. After lunch, my presentation in the parallel
session for Quality Management. Dr.
Lotto Lai (HKSQ) presented the paper entitled “Preliminary Study on QMS based
Innovation Management System (QInnoMS) with Extension Innovation
Methodology”.
Firstly, I introduced different definition of
“Innovation” based on different standards and then introduced ISO 9001:2015,
CEN/TS 16555-1:2013 and ISO 56002: 2019.
After that I proposed the integrated model to combine three standards
models together.
Then I proposed the 20
steps implementation guide and using Extension Innovation Method under diamond thinking
for organization innovation included system, operational, service, product and
process.
And then I introduced
the Extenics and Extension Innovation Method which was developed by Prof. Cai
Wen since 1976. His first publication
named “Extension Set and Incompatible Problem” in 1983 and then a new science
discipline was created in China.
Finally, I concluded
that integrated QMS and Innovation Management System would be the trend and
reasonable because Quality and Innovation are essential in the business
world. However, we needed to have innovation
tools to make it happen. Therefore, I
proposed Prof. Cai’s Extenics and Extension Innovation Method. At the end, I employed Prof. Cai Wen
statement that “Let’s establishing Extenics Together!”
The second speaker was Dr.
Lam Kong Ngan Kenny (Founding President, Shenzhen-Hong Kong Institute of
Professional Management Association) and his presentation title was “PRC
(Greater Bay Area) Guangdone-Hong Kong-Macao Construction Culture
Difference”. Firstly, Dr. Lam
demonstrated different real cases in the construction site through videos.
Dr. Lam said safety
awareness and time management were important in PRC construction projects. But we needed to handle legal supervision in
different areas so as to avoid safety accidents happen.
After that he discussed
some construction safety data in China, Macau and Hong Kong that included
different types of injury and accidents.
Finally, Dr. Kenny Lam concluded
that study was based on implementation of the "Three pronged"
strategy with “Integrity and Self-love”, “Lead by Example” and “Law
Enforcement, Prevention and Education” to reduce the impacts of cultural
differences on project success.
In our session, I also
attended Dr. Su-Yol Lee (Associate Professor, College of Business
Administration, Chonnam National University) and his presentation topic named
“Corporate Response to Climate Change: Quality Management and Firm
Performance”. Firstly, Dr. Lee stated
different areas drastic hot weather recently especially Korea had the hottest
summer upto 35C in 111 years according to the Korea Meteorological
Administration (KMA) on 23 July 2018.
Then Dr. Lee introduced
global effort to fighting against climate change such as Kyoto Protocol and
recently Paris Agreement in 2015. South
Korean Climate Change policies were mentioned that national goal of GHG
reduction of 30% below business-as-usual by 2020 based on the National Strategy
for Green Growth (2009) and revisited GHG reduction of 37% below by 2030 when
joined the Paris Agreement (2015) as well as the Korea Emission Trading Scheme
on 2015.
Finally, Dr. Lee showed
the research data such as regression analysis that indicating TQM capability
contributed to increasing the levels of adoption/implementation of Carbon
Management Practice (CMP) but the effects of TQM and CMP on a firm’s
performance were not clear. However, he
believed quality management matters to fight against climate change.
The last speaker in this
session was Dr. Cheun-Sheng Cheng (Department of Industrial Engineering and
Management, Yuan Ze University) and his topic was “The Challenges
of Machine Learning-based Control Chart Pattern Recognition”. Firstly, he introduced the background of
control chart in SPC and he said many researchers pointed out that correct
classification of non-random patterns could facilitate the course of diagnosing
the assignable causes.
Dr. Cheng study purposes
included the mechanism of triggering the pattern classification, time-varying
behaviour of the control chart patterns and the deficiencies of feature-based
approach. For classification approaches,
it included rule-based, decision tree, artificial neural network, support
vector machine and deep convolutional neural network.
Lastly, Dr. Cheng
introduced different techniques for classification of pattern such as moving
window. Moving window was found lacks of
a triggering mechanism and we needed to consider different starting position
within the data window. Then he
demonstrated some cases of using moving window starting point to observe the
pattern of Trend, Cyclic, Systematic, Shift and Slope. He said the overall classification accuracy
was also highly dependent on the data window size. At the end, Dr. Cheng introduced
feature-based approach such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) approach as
multi-channel deep CNN (MC-DCNN).
Another two Hong Kong
participants presented at the same time in the section “Quality Process”.
The first
speaker of HK team in that session was Dr. Chan Wai Lung, Raymond (Chairman &
Executive Director, Finsoft Financial Investment Holdings Limited) and his
presentation named “A Study on Discrepancy of Interest rates in China’s Repo
Market before and after Trade Conflict”.
Dr. Raymond Chan
explained Repo market in seller side and Buyer side. His research methodology employed factor
construction and mono-factor regression.
His study offered a predictive model by applying Least Absolute
Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) to predict one-day-ahead discrepancy
of repo interest rate, which can explain over 60% variation in the discrepancy
in both in-sample and out-of-sample period.
The second speaker was
Dr. Wong Kwok Keung, Keith (Deputy Chair – The Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating
Engineering) and his presentation entitled “Sustainable Development of Water
Resources in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China”. Firstly, Dr. Keith Wong briefed the history
that HKSAR started procurement of fresh water from Dong-jiang (DJ) River of
Guangdong Province in China since 1965. Now, near 80% of annual water
consumption (0.82 billion cubic meters) in HKSAR is purchased under this scheme
to support the enormous water demand in HKSAR, pricing at 4.78 billion HKD.
His study aimed at
planning and assisting the HKSAR government to find out reason for the lack of
water resources. To explore ways to increase the total number of water
resources in HKSAR from 2 to 5, to help solving the current liability on DJ
Water Supply Scheme by using an innovative and timeliness way to explore how to
expand supply and reduce demand.
The 2nd Belt and Road International Quality Forum
And then I joined the 2nd
Belt and Road session. I took a photo
