Operational Excellence (oe)
Delivering
Sustainable Results Through A Robust 4-Tier OE Initiative
Granules India is implementing a very robust Operational Excellence (OE) program, which continues to deliver sustainable results for maximizing the growth of the Company. A 4-tier approach is being implemented to build capability and culture of continuous improvement in our manufacturing units through White Belt, Yellow Belt, Green belt, and Black Training based on the roles. We adopted application-oriented approach wherein every certification included training participation, written test for Body of Knowledge and an improvement project.
Employees took simple kaizen improvement to complex problem-solving using OE tools learnt during training. Our senior leadership team also visited companies with matured OE program to learn concepts and understand culture. The benefits from such project were in the area of Capacity enhancement, Cost reduction and Yield improvement resulting in annualized financial benefits of approximately INR 10.0 Crores. Such improvement projects are being presented in various OE forums (such as CII Kaizen Competition) across the industry and won accolades. Its also helping us nurturing leadership skills in our employees. Our OE program is designed in line with company’s mission of “Efficient Manufacturing” .
