Yesterday, we're celebrating two successful Monitor ERP go-lives with Wintech Metal Processing Sdn Bhd and Merit Packaging Sdn. Bhd.! 🎉 Founded in 1999, Wintech is a leading manufacturer of metal-fabricated furnishings designed to optimize space and improve work environments. Based in Banting, Selangor, they are trusted by global giants like AMD, Bosch, and Deloitte. Their commitment to continuous research and development led them to seek a solution that could centralize data, eliminate manual work, and provide e-Invoice functionality with minimal customization. 🚀 Similarly, Merit Packaging, established in 1983, is a dynamic global provider of polyethylene packaging solutions. Located in Kamunting, Perak, they serve a diverse range of industries, including medical, food and beverages, retail, and general industrial segments, supplying over 20 countries. Last December, they pursued a modern solution to streamline their production flow and address the limitations of their previous system, which had been in use for 17 years and could no longer support their current workflow. 🤝 Both companies discovered Monitor ERP through digital platforms and chose our solution for its ability to provide a shared, common database that enables real-time data visibility. Monitor ERP offers a single source of information across production lines, minimizing manual work and allowing for efficient performance tracking. Now, they can effortlessly access data, improve inventory management, and reduce the workload involved in data acquisition. 🔍 Contact us now to see how Monitor ERP can transform your manufacturing operations: https://lnkd.in/e2Pa8Azt #monitorerpasia #monitorerpsystem #manufacturing #digitaltransformation #automation #integration #datamanagement #packaging

Malaysia's trade performance from January to July 2024, Malaysia's total trade reached a record RM1.652 trillion, marking a 9.8% increase from the previous year. The country's exports increased by 5.1% to RM862.23 billion, while imports surged by 15.5% to RM789.71 billion, resulting in a trade surplus of RM72.52 billion, a decrease of 46.9% from the previous period.

This category saw a 1.2% decrease compared to the previous period. Other significant export products included petroleum products and palm oil-based products. For imports, E&E products also topped the list with RM248.30 billion, followed by petroleum products and machinery. The semiconductor and Electrical & Electronics (E&E) industry in Malaysia is indeed experiencing significant growth, reflecting a robust global demand for electronics and components. This sector is a critical part of Malaysia's economic framework, bolstered by its strategic position in the global supply chain and continued investments in high-tech manufacturing capabilities. Several factors contribute to this growth, including Malaysia's established infrastructure for semiconductor manufacturing, favorable government policies, and strategic partnerships with global tech giants. The government's focus on enhancing technological capabilities and encouraging foreign investment also plays a crucial role in this success. However, the industry faces challenges such as global supply chain disruptions and competition from neighboring countries. Staying competitive will require ongoing innovation, upgrading technological capabilities, and perhaps most importantly, nurturing a skilled workforce to keep pace with the evolving technological landscape. Overall, the outlook for Malaysia's semiconductor and E&E industry remains positive, making it a pivotal sector for the nation's economic growth and stability in the coming years.

Need of skilled manpower at Kulim High Tech Park - setting up of permanent secretariat ( Govt ) In short the initiative looks into 1. coordination of supply of skilled manpower to meet the demand 2. training centre for post-graduates due to industry needs 3. courses that are compatible with the needs of the industry market 4. salary bracket to retain local talent If I may add, a look into 1. bringing back retired professional as short term technical coach & mentor 2. sustainable long term employment (competition will be fierce ) 3. early & longer industrial exposure for graduates In a recent post circulating, salary was highly debated amongst engineers in Malaysia, however this is a wider issue rather than confined to single industry. With a higher influx of companies growing in numbers, employee migrations triggered by salary can't be excluded. It will be one major factor of movement of young employees. https://lnkd.in/dmjRxfhn
