The first advice among the solutions Mr. Dao Phan Long proposed for businesses is to spend time and money to find and approach consulting organizations on lean production systems. With the motto "Deep specialization - wide cooperation", the speaker encouraged businesses to increase and be flexible in production between businesses. Manufacturing enterprises should say No to the classical closed production, but instead expand cooperation relationships with each other in regions and regions. The term "leading crane" is no longer strange to businesses today. It refers to enterprises that produce large-scale, good-quality goods in the market. But most of these large enterprises only like to work with foreign enterprises because they do not trust domestic small and medium enterprises. Therefore, the state should have policies to encourage large enterprises to become markets as well as create orders for small and medium-sized mechanics to have the opportunity to develop. The final solution Mr. Long offered was to encourage businesses to actively participate in government programs. And vice versa from the government, there should also be programs to support the development of businesses such as considering tax reduction support for a certain period of time to partly remove difficulties for domestic enterprises.

Next, Dr. Ngo Cong Truong shared about the recovery and development journey as well as the optimal solutions for businesses. Starting with the concept of “VUCA” and continuing with the LEAN model of “Lean Manufacturing - Reducing Waste” to help businesses optimize their business operations. The LEAN model applies not only to manufacturing but also to service industries. LEAN is developed into a lean mindset, especially during Covid LEAN is more effective - how to streamline the system as much as possible. LEAN helps eliminate waste by eliminating work that doesn't create the value it needs and getting it right the first time. The speaker also gave practical examples to demonstrate the application of lean thinking in manufacturing enterprises in Vietnam. For example, THACO, with the mindset of "Right in the first time" from the very beginning, has applied LEAN to its operation process and is not too dependent on human resources. Another good example is Dabaco Group, a well-known enterprise in the 3F industry. With the mindset of "Working smarter", businesses have expanded factories, instead of increasing the number of workers, they choose to increase wages for workers to improve efficiency. Thus, in order to survive this epidemic season, manufacturing enterprises must know "Think more, waste less", so that they can firmly move forward.

The last part of the seminar was a lively live exchange between the speaker and the business. Since then, businesses have partly removed the knots of difficulties and problems encountered. From there, there is an overview and changes in thinking and business operating model. The online sharing webinar only took place within 2 hours but brought positive responses from the attendees, giving them useful information that they could immediately apply to their businesses.
