M&M Tractors awarded the Deming for excellence in quality
Attaining the prize, involves stringent processes, involving audits by independent and respected quality professionals from Japan. The Deming Steering Committee, a cross functional council, was created specifically for the purpose of guiding the Sector’s efforts towards winning the prize. In its quest for the award, the Sector identified a host of parameters which were systematically and continuously monitored. Categorized under 19 heads, they covered every aspect of operations. The Deming Performance Unit at FES evaluated the progress made on these parameters on a monthly basis and reported the same to the Steering Committee.
