Vietnamese Enterprises Can Improve Productivity by 20–30% Without Heavy Investment

A practical case from a Vietnamese industrial company shows that by combining:

  • data measurement
  • process improvement
  • operational optimization

the business achieved:

  • a 35–40% reduction in wasted time
  • an increase in productivity from ~49% to over 65%
  • a ~30% reduction in inventory

The key insight is this:
The transformation did not start with complex technologies, but with three fundamental steps:

Measuring actual performance (not relying on perception)
Identifying operational bottlenecks
Redesigning workflows

This highlights the difference between:
Digitalization vs. Operational Optimization

Most Vietnamese SMEs today are still at the first stage:
Moving from Excel to software systems
but without fundamentally changing how operations are managed

As a result, performance gains remain limited.

Improving productivity does not require large investments.
It requires focusing on the right areas, with the right approach.

This is also the core philosophy of KisOperation:
not just implementing technology, but enabling businesses to see, measure, and optimize real operational performance.

Vietnam does not lack labor — it lacks productivity

Vietnam’s labor productivity is increasing.
By 2025, it reached approximately VND 245 million per worker (around USD 9,800).
However, it still remains among the lower tiers in ASEAN.

This indicates a fundamental shift: the challenge is no longer about increasing the number of workers, but about improving the productivity of each individual.

In many Vietnamese enterprises today:

  • Managers spend most of their time handling operational issues
  • Employees perform multiple tasks without clear performance measurement
  • Decisions are still largely based on experience rather than data

As a result:
Businesses are becoming busier — but not more efficient. This is the real bottleneck to sustainable growth.

Leading companies are now shifting their approach:
→ from managing people
→ to designing data-driven operating systems
→ from “human only”
→ to a human–AI hybrid model

The goal is not to replace people, but to enable each individual to create greater value.

Without productivity gains, every growth strategy will eventually reach its limit.
