VISAKHAPATNAM: The Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL), the corporate entity of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), added another feather to its cap by bagging the ‘Par Excellence Award’ for ‘5S Implementation in Vizag Steel’ at the national conclave held in Madurai Saturday.
RINL director (Personnel) GBS Prasad received the award during the 2nd National Conclave on 5S organised by the Quality Circle Forum of India (QCFI). The ‘5S’ is a Japanese concept of Work Place Management. RINL chairman and managing director P Madhusudan congratulated the VSP workforce for the coveted recognition and pointed out that the award reflects their commitment in implementing the ‘5S’ concept in true spirit.
This award was given to the RINL at national level among 36 ‘5S’ certified organisations, based on the QCFI-Auditors report/feedback for the initiative and effective implementation of ‘5S’. Less than a year ago, the VSP achieved the ‘Total Plant Level’ certification in 5S-Work Place Management System.
