Proton to reevaluate all its vendors

TANJUNG MALIM: PROTON HOLDINGS BHD [] will reevaluate all its vendors towards the effort to complete its plant for the production of the new global car which is set to enter the market early next year.

Managing director Datuk Seri Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir said the more stringent reevaluation of the Proton vendors is to minimise the level of
defects in the new car.

"At the moment, we have identified 20 Proton vendors from the 108 for our new model. Some vendors will be merged to ensure a better quality of production," he told reporters after the launch of the latest Proton model nicknamed, the "P3-21A", here on Monday, July 25.

At the same ceremony, Proton also signed a memorandum of understanding(MoU) with the National Productivity Corporation to enhance the abilities of its
vendors through Business Excellence Practices (BEx).

The BEx represents a working structure now used by members of the Global Excellence Model Council, to evaluate the performance of a company in terms of leadership, planning, information, customer focus, the public, processes and outcome.

"The selection of Proton vendors for the production of the P3-21A model will be made based on the performance evaluation according to the BEx model.
"The target objective is to enhance the ability of the Proton vendors to be more competitive, in line with the government initiative, as outlined in the
Third Industrial Masterplan," said," said Syed Zainal. - Bernama
