In line with its ongoing commitment to Green TVET advocacy, the Regional Training Center – Korea Philippines Vocational Training Center (RTC-KPVTC), Davao successfully conducted its 1st Semester 6S Competition for 2025 on Friday, June 27, 2025. Spearheaded by the Innovation, Research, and Green TVET Team, this regular biannual activity reinforces the Center’s institutional discipline in applying the 6S principles: Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain, and Safety.
A longstanding internal initiative, the 6S Competition continues to be a vital part of RTC-KPVTC’s efforts to promote environmental sustainability, operational efficiency, and workplace safety, which hopefully makes the Training Center one of the models for Green TVET institutions.
The competition drew active participation from all departments, personnel, and trainees. Evaluation areas were divided into four categories: Trade Areas, Administrative Offices, Dormitories, and Facilities/Services. Each group made visible improvements in their designated spaces, ranging from clean-ups and visual organization to implementing documented safety procedures, evacuation plans, and sustainability measures.
The event was formally evaluated by a six-member panel composed of technical and administrative personnel. For the Administrative Offices and Dormitories, the judges were Engr. Lougino A. Miguel, Arch. Janice S. Nadera, and Mr. Edison C. Tasic. Meanwhile, Ms. Alanah Tamarah N. Millan, Ms. Johanna Rheasle P. Fernandez, and Ms. Mary Grace L. Sijuela were assigned to evaluate the Trade Areas and Facilities/Services.
The judges convened for an opening meeting at 9:00 AM in the APACC Room before proceeding to assess the designated areas based on comprehensive 6S criteria.
Winners will be recognized during the Year-End Performance and Assessment (YEPA) with cash prizes, certificates, and plaques of recognition. The group with the highest average score across both semesters will be declared the Best 6S Implementer of the Year.
The successful conduct of the 6S Competition once again affirmed RTC-KPVTC Davao’s dedication to quality, safety, and environmental sustainability through shared accountability and continuous improvement. The 2nd Semester 6S Competition is scheduled for November 2025, and will serve as the final evaluation round to determine this year’s top-performing teams.
