As a company with young leadership, Myanmar Synergy quickly realized that business is not only about higher profits but depends to a large extent on good worker-management relationship. For solving production related issues Myanmar Synergy always involved line supervisors and workers. This strategy paid off, as we can see in this article.

Based on these dates each department in-charge must plan and organize his area of responsibility according to start and end date.
