He was the first Quality Expert to the Malaysian Government, working on the Asian Development Bank project to help the country to develop a five year quality plan in 1993-94. The 6- quality management concept was born in 1986 at Motolora. During that year, Prof. Ho had an opportunity to train a group of Motorola managers/engineers at their Malaysia plant in a MSc course in Production Management. At the beginning, the 6-initiative was designed to change the culture in Motorola through better quality control and improvement. Then, over the years, it has been developed as the breakthrough improvement in all aspects of the business. The successful implementation of6-in Motorola led to a period of unprecedented growth and sales. The remarkable achievement was being recognized with the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. It was further observed that both their Malaysian and HK plants had successful 5-S implementation based on Prof. Ho’s proprietary 5-S Checklist.
