THE 3GS Group from the Survey Department, Ministry of Development was crowned champions in the 20th National-level Quality Control Circle (KKC) Convention with their project titled ‘Difficulties in Management of Computer Equipment Information’ during the 24th Civil Service Day Celebration at the Plenary Hall of the International Convention Centre (ICC) yesterday.
The KKC aimed to effectuate higher work quality, efficiency and productivity among groups of workers (roughly in the sizes of six-10) in the same department or unit in government agencies by getting them to analyse and improve on work or operation related problems.
The first-place winners received a trophy, certificates and $6,000. Dayangku Syazwani binti Pengiran Sufri, a representative of the 3GS Group, said their project aimd to ease the day-to-day tasks – in particular, IT-related tasks – of Survey Department personnel.
She said the challenges they faced were in coming up with the management system, doing research, and gathering information from every individual computer – of which there is more than 300 computers in the Survey Department – as well as computer accessories such as printers and scanners.
“We also hope that the outcome of this KKC project will be implemented in other departments within the Ministry of Development,” she added.
Taking second place was the Lifesaver995 group from the Fire and Rescue Department, Ministry of Home Affairs, with their project titled ‘The Increase of Peat Fires in the Hot Season in Mukim Seria Areas’, for which they received a trophy, certificates and $4,000.
Kamalzurzaman bin Musa, project leader of Lifesaver995, explained that their project – which took eight months to work on – was aimed at decreasing incidences of fire in the peat areas of Mukim Seria. The fires are a yearly occurrence, causing thick smoke which affects the general health of residents in the surrounding areas and decreases visibility on the roads, increasing the risk of road accidents.
Finishing in third was the Mu@kad group – also from the Survey Department, Ministry of Development – with their project titled ‘Rectified Skew Orthomorphic (RSO) Map not Achieving Customer’s Expectations’. They received a trophy, certificates and $2,000 for their effort.
Seven other groups from various government departments each received certificates and $1,000.
