This movement was concretized into emulation contents in accordance with the nature and characteristics of each industry and field, attracting thousands employee to participate in.
From the beginning of each year, VSIP Trade Union issues a document to direct grassroots unions to launch movements at enterprises.

She herself had the initiative of "Improving TPX material waste". Specifically, before improvement, at single-stage molding phase, the company used TPX to seal products when pressing. For products that had an arm design parallel to the length of U000 sheet and outside the sheet, after pressing, workers must replace new TPX before moving to the next stage. With many year experiences in this position, she felt it was wasted as having to replace new TPX, while it was still very good. Therefore, she made an improvement; post-pressed products were built into a dedicated table. TPX was for both latching and covering the product part. As a result, if previously with a production order of 13 million units, 82 rolls of TPX / month were used; then after improvement, it only takes 56 rolls of material. Only this simple detail has saved businesses nearly VND 200 million / month.

As a result, this initiative has helped to save the cost of leasing contractors over VND 25 million and reducing the sanitation time to VND 5 million / year. He also had the initiative "Improving the bottom of spice powder sink" to prevent water from overflowing into bottom of floor so as to wet the ceiling, generating black mold, the risk of microbial contamination of products has brought about efficiency is guaranteed separating the inside and outside environment, saving the cost of renting the contractor is 21 million VND and reducing the cleaning time to 5 million VND / year.

They are really typical flowers and mirrors for officials and employees in industrial zones to replicate and study.
