Avimac, Asia Enterprises, Phoon Huat score digitalisation success
Digital tools can be difficult to navigate. However, the IHCI Enabler Programme can provide tailored hands-on guidance for companies.
DIGITALISATION has become key for businesses seeking to transition into Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and the Singapore Business Federation's (SBF) eight-week-long IHCI Enabler Programme is one avenue which aims to help firms do just that.
The programme, part of the broader Industry 4.0 Human Capital Initiative (IHCI) launched in early 2020, puts companies through masterclasses, a shop-floor pilot programme and professional assessments. Partnering with business consultants McKinsey & Company and Ernst & Young, it identifies areas to digitalise, redesign jobs and leverage staff to improve business performance.
It recently started its third cohort with 20 companies. Last year, 47 businesses took part in the programme developed and funded by Workforce Singapore (WSG). Among them were precision engineering company Avimac, steel distributor Asia Enterprises and baking supply company Phoon Huat.
