Nurturing the Talent of Our Business Partners
We believe our partners’ competitive edge lies within nurturing their talented work-
force. Samsung Electronics contributes to fostering our business partners’ human
resources through a wide range of education and training programs in three categories:
job specialists, future leaders and top management leadership. Job specialists
programs include GVE (Group Value Engineering), Six Sigma, CAD planning, ERP
education and support in the fields of manufacturing and quality control. We also offer
technology courses in collaboration with domestic universities. In addition, we help our
suppliers with recruiting and run other education support programs. Furthermore, we
pass our management know-how on to our business partners’ top executives through
diverse education programs and seminars.
2007 Innovation Case Studies of Partner Companies
On November 15, 2007, we organized our “Innovation Case
Studies of Partner Companies” event, attended by 196 part-
ner companies and our employees. At the event, our partners
presented a wide range of innovative ideas to sharpen our
mutual leadership in technology while enhancing the cohe-
siveness of our partnerships.
As part of a comprehensive supplier support plan, we imple-
mented the ERP Project from 2004 to 2006. This program
has greatly enhanced our business partners’ operational
efficiency, reducing inventory days by 30% and bookkeeping
time by 50%.
