garments in the line, then we

will also be able to keep the

these products from falling

on the floor and becoming

dirty. One of the biggest

causes for rework in our

factory is that the garments

we make are unacceptable

due to dirt marks and stains.

If we can improve our

quality and make a gar-

ment perfect ‘first-time’

and not have to send

pieces back to the lines

for repair, then we esti-

mate that we can increase

our production capacity

by up to 10%.

We need all our workers

to soon join us in mak-

ing this new method of flow

production a big success. If

we are able to improve our

productivity then we will

then be able to share the

benefit of this success with

all our employees

During 2010 our company

received a big increase in

contracts from our customers

and we are now well on the

way to a secure future. Many

of our orders have come

from clients who have taken

their orders away from other

suppliers in China, and have

brought them to us here

in Vietnam to make in

our Hoc Mon factory

for the first time. Viking

have a well-deserved

reputation for high qual-

ity garments and al-

though we are not the

cheapest manufacturer

in Vietnam—our cus-

tomers respect our hon-

esty and are prepared to

pay a slightly higher price

than they have to give in

Bangladesh or Cambodia.

We must maintain our qual-

ity standards on which rests

our future prosperity

Line 1A became our first

trial line to receive training

in LEAN working during

2010. This is a system of

moving the work down the

production line in much

smaller bundles and dramati-

cally reduces the number of

garments on the whole line.

The benefits we gain from

this method is that we can

easily see where we have too

much work building up, and

be able to make a better

balance to the line and flow

the product ion more

smoothly. If there are less

Mr Kurt Andersen and Miss Trang Nha would like to thank all the employees for all their

hard work and support during the year in 2010. We hope that everyone will have a wonderful

celebration during the Tet holiday season and that you enjoy this time with your families and

friends

Team Games for all sporting workers

After the Tet holidays Vi-

king Vietnam will be orga-

nizing team games for all

staff who wish to play or

support them. We have

formed a sports committee to

start these games and they

will be telling you all where

and when you can volunteer

to take part in these weekly

activities. The ideas to date

are that we wish to form

both mens and ladies teams

for football, baseball, bad-

minton and maybe table

tennis. It all depends on you

who wish to play—you de-

cide and we will organise!

Viking Vietnam will pay for

all the equipment we need

and to hire the place to

pay—all you need to do is to

volunteer for the teams and

to turn up on the night to

either play or support your

friends.

We will

also play

fr iendly

matches

against workers from Eizo—

the next factory along from

Viking. We hope that our

teams will be better trained

and win! I am sure that they

will need your support to be

successful!

Viking Vietnam say thank you to all employees

The Viking end of year party

celebration and awards party

was held on Saturday 15th

January and was a great suc-

cess. Miss Trang Nha told

the staff and directors that

Viking had been successful

in increasing our sales in

2010 and that we are well

placed to have an even bet-

ter success in 2011. We

have many orders but have a

pressing need to increase the

number of workers and im-

prove the skills of everyone

in Viking Vietnam if we are

to continue to beat our com-

petitors for many years to

come.

If you know of a good worker

who would like to come and

be part of the Viking team,

then please bring them along to

meet with us after the Tet holi-

days!

Here are some pictures of our certificate winners for 2010. We would like to thank every-

one working so well, and even if you were not lucky enough to win a prize this time, we

hope you do so in 2011. We are very grateful to you for your hard work and making Vi-

king successful and ensuring that we will continue for many years into the future!
