11.05 (THU) — PROTON launched its META POWER 5-STAR manufacturing improvement programme at its Electric Vehicle plant in Tanjung Malim on Thursday.

The scheme serves as a pilot department project to establish employee engagement, skill development, and operational assessment standards before expanding across other plant operations.

The framework builds on the PROTON Production Way system, focusing on safety, product quality, cost control, delivery performance, and equipment maintenance.

Chief Executive Officer Dr Li Chunrong said company success depends on employee skills and problem-solving engagement across workstations.

Initial pilot assessments are targeted for completion by December 2026, with full implementation across all Tanjung Malim plant operations scheduled for completion by October 2027.
