Productivity Awards:

Suggestions for productivity improvement are evaluated based on three criteria:

Safety Awards:

• Best Zone Award: This monthly recognition is awarded to the Zone Supervisor who keeps his zone tidy and clean. The selection criteria for the award is as per basic guidelines in Good and Correct practices and norms to be followed in a Workshop area. The Technical Management team is also involved in the selection process month after month.

• Safety Draw: During the periodic tool box chat, the employees are regularly explained, refreshed and reminded of their responsibilities to work safely in the workshops. All employees are encouraged, thereafter, to suggest improvements in real life situations. It is our endeavor to promote ‘safety for all’ amongst all workers and identify any wrong practice or unsafe acts by reporting the situation immediately. All such healthy observations by the workers themselves are given a draw ticket for the monthly draw held in the presence of all staff. Three lucky winners are selected for the month and prizes distributed from the selection available.

• Best C.P.I. Award: In our efforts for continual improvement regularly, an unsafe act or situation whenever reported is acted upon and closed out. Based on the criteria of (i) extent of damage the unsafe act or unsafe condition could have caused had it resulted in an accident (ii) stage at which the situation was observed and reported and (iii) suggested solution for correction, prevention and improvement. The Management team will select the best CPI for the award. The recognition is based on the implication evaluation of the reported CPI would have had in the workshop from time to time.
