Hovol Holds Problem-Solving Training

On the afternoon of May 15, 2026, Hovol invited Mr. Bao Dong, an automotive mold expert from FAW Tooling, to conduct a special training session titled “Problem Solving: Thinking and Methods.” More than 60 key employees from relevant departments attended the training to improve their ability to identify, analyze, and solve problems in daily work.

During the training, Mr. Bao focused on practical challenges in manufacturing and management. He explained the essential difference between a “phenomenon” and a “problem,” helping employees move beyond habitual thinking and build a more structured problem-solving mindset.

He introduced four key ways to accurately identify problems: comparing actual results with targets, treating abnormalities as warning signals, listening to feedback to identify pain points, and predicting potential risks in advance. These methods are especially important for manufacturing companies that require stable quality, precise processes, and efficient project delivery.

Based on years of industry experience, Mr. Bao emphasized the principle of “Genchi, Genbutsu, Genjitsu,” which means going to the actual place, checking the actual object, and understanding the actual facts. Through real case studies, he guided employees to trace problems step by step and identify root causes. He also stressed that problem analysis should first examine system-level gaps rather than simply blaming individuals.

For problem solving, Mr. Bao proposed three key lines of defense: ensuring employees can do things correctly, know how to do things correctly, and consistently do things correctly. This requires improving basic working conditions, strengthening employee training, and strictly controlling process quality.

He also provided targeted suggestions based on Hovol’s business characteristics, encouraging the company to move from “correcting problems after they occur” to “preventing problems before they happen.” This approach is highly aligned with the requirements of automotive mold manufacturing, where precision, stability, and reliability are critical.

In addition, Mr. Bao helped Hovol build a framework for continuous improvement. He suggested strengthening systematic capabilities, improving review mechanisms, and establishing closed-loop management. These measures will encourage all employees to participate in improvement activities and contribute to the company’s long-term development.

The training was practical, focused, and closely connected with real work scenarios. It effectively addressed common difficulties such as not knowing how to identify problems, analyze causes, or develop solutions. Participants listened carefully, took notes, and expressed that they would apply what they learned to their daily work to improve quality and efficiency.

This training not only supported employee development but also laid a stronger foundation for Hovol to optimize management and enhance its core competitiveness. Looking ahead, Hovol will continue to build learning platforms, carry out regular professional training, and guide all employees to improve through practical action.

As a source factory specializing in automotive molds and related tooling solutions, Hovol remains committed to improving manufacturing capabilities, quality control, and customer service. Through continuous improvement, the company aims to provide more reliable automotive mold solutions for global customers.
