President’s Message

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE We heralded 2018 with a big bang! Building a skilled PCM workforce On 5 January 2018, the 7,900 bed-space ASPRI-Westlite Dormitory-Papan was officially opened by Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam. This event marks a significant milestone for ASPRI. Through our integrated training centre, ASPRI-Institute of Process Industry (ASPRI-IPI), training division of ASPRI, is now able to improve the Productivity and Skills of the Process Construction and Maintenance (PCM) workforce. Early results have been encouraging, for the calendar year of 2017, ASPRI-IPI, has delivered a total of 125,000 training hours, a four-fold increase from prior shifting to ASPRI Integrated Training Centre (AITC). More than 3,300 residents have also received trainings at AITC. Moving ahead, ASPRI-IPI will continue to evolve and meet the training needs of the industry. We have since signed a Memorandum of Collaboration (MOC) with the Singapore Polytechnic to co-develop a training framework for field supervisors and foremen to further extend our skills development programme. In addition, ASPRI-IPI has collaborated with ExxonMobil and Shell to host safety induction courses at AITC, bringing greater convenience to our members and residents. Transformation Map for the future The launch of Singapore’s Energy and Chemicals Industry Transformation Map (ITM) in October 2017 marks a renewed commitment to position this sector for the future. The ITM details Singapore’s plan to transform its existing base of chemicals manufacturing through the adoption of innovative Advanced Manufacturing technologies; where productivity improvements and resources optimisation have been identified as critical success factors in this transformation journey.


We are now in the final year of the 3 year Productivity Project with Construction Industry Institute (CII) and various work groups are concluding their analysis and benchmarking activities, most of which should be completed before the end of this year. We will continue to outreach to members to advocate adoption of available tools and trainings to further raise their productivity level.

2

Our collective productivity improvement efforts in the face of economic slowdown have not gone unnoticed. We are relieved that the government has in its 2018 Budget left the foreign workers levy for our sector unchanged. We must work together and strive to improve our productivity thereby enhancing Singapore’s competitiveness as a viable Energy and Chemicals Hub. On behalf of the 11th Executive Council, I would like to thank all our fellow members, the government, stakeholders and industry partners for their continued cooperation and support during the last financial year. Our appreciation also goes out to all our secretariat and training staff for their unceasing efforts to better serve our members.

Helping Members Address Manpower Challenges, 5 October 2017

A

SPRI partnered with Workforce Singapore (WSG) and Singapore Institute of Technology (SiT) to organise a seminar for its members on 5 October 2017. Members could better understand various government grants available to defray some of their recruitment and manpower costs for better attraction and retention of local talents.

The seminar was well attended by mainly HR practitioners whom happily took away useful information from Ms. Jannisis Loo, Deputy Director, Career Services from SiT, who presented on the Integrated Work Study Programme and Mr. Jovin Teo, Senior Manager, Manufacturing Division from WSG who shared available funding programmes such as P-MAX, Professional Conversion Programme (PCP) and Career Support Programme (CSP) to the participants, and how companies can benefit.


At the end of the seminar, the participants were engaged in a networking reception where they mingled with their industry peers to share tacit HR knowledge and good practices.

n 5 January 2018, ASPRI in partnership with Centurion Corporation Limited and Lian Beng Group celebrated the Official Opening of ASPRI-Westlite Dormitory – Papan which was graced by Deputy Prime Minister Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Coordinating Minister for Economic and Social Policies. Located at Jalan Papan, in close proximity to Jurong Island, the development aims to improve productivity and alleviates workers’ fatigue through reduction in commuting time by bringing training right to their doorsteps. Success was evident when the 7,900 bed spaces reached almost full occupancy in less than a year after launch. Industry stakeholders such as Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), International Enterprise (IE) Singapore (now part of Enterprise Singapore), JTC Corporation, Ministry of Manpower (MOM), SPRING Singapore (now part of Enterprise Singapore), Workforce Singapore (WSG), Workplace Safety Health Council (WSHC) and plant owners such as Chemical Specialties, Chevron, Eastman Chemical Singapore, Evonik, ExxonMobil, Mitsui Chemicals, Petrochemical Corporation of Singapore (PCS), Singapore Refining Company (SRC), Shell; as well as industry partners from institutes of higher learning, trade associations also joined in the celebrations.


Singapore’s First Integrated Dormitory Advocating Live, Learn and Play Officially Opened, 5 January 2018

Guest-of-Honour DPM Tharman commended the good work done by ASPRI since the inception of the Process Construction and Maintenance Management Committee (PCMMC) in 2013, for taking the lead to collaborate with government agencies to tackle challenges faced by industry – “speeding up innovations, transforming productivity, ensuring employees’ interests are served, and opening up new markets”. He cited the dormitory as a good model of such collaboration. DPM Tharman also lauded ASPRI for “forging public-private partnerships to propel industry growth”, and Centurion Corporation and Lian Beng Group for investing in the dormitory project to meet the industry’s collective needs.

He highlighted that it was important that ASPRI had chosen to co-locate the ASPRI Integrated Training Centre (AITC) within the development, as it gives a boon to the workers residing there so that they could enjoy heavily subsidised training courses conveniently.

he purpose-built 7,900-bed ASPRI-Westlite Dormitory - Papan, which went into operation after the first batch of residents moved in last May, has achieved almost full occupancy.

The three-storey complex sits on a land area of 14,817 sqm and has a built-up area of 50,378 sqm, with a 40,000 sqft training centre; the ASPRI Integrated Training Centre (AITC) located in an annexe next to the main accommodation building. Built for the industry by the industry, the dormitory had been designed with the concept of having comprehensive facilities to offer a practical “Live, Learn and Play” environment. The concept encompasses the ideas of: • Live: Greater wellbeing for residents to improve productivity by 12% and reduced fatigue through shorter travelling time •

Learn: Total convenience at the door steps for residents to upgrade their skills, as the training centre is commited to provide at least 380,000 training hours of subsidised courses per year

•

Play: Enhanced mental wellbeing by fulfilling the workers’ social and recreational needs.


An Advisory Board (AB), formed in Aug 2015, comprising of key representatives from plant owners and the ASPRI Executive Council, provides strategic stewardship over the bed allocation system, dormitory services, price review and the general welfare of the residents.
