Chemicals Business of SRF wins the prestigious Deming Prize
Gurgaon, 9th October 2012: The Chemicals
Business of SRF has joined a select group of organisations
globally to win the coveted Deming Prize. Awarded by the
Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE), the Deming
Prize award is considered the Nobel Prize equivalent in the
world of quality. The winners were declared by the Deming
Prize Committee in Tokyo, today. Earlier in 2004, SRF had
earned the distinction of becoming the first tyre cord
company outside Japan to win the award.
Ashish Bharat Ram, Managing Director, SRF said, "We are proud
to have been bestowed this recognition for the second time in
SRF. The award reaffirms our commitment to continue to serve
our customers efficiently. I wholeheartedly commend the
untiring efforts of my colleagues who have been continuously
learning and applying the principles and methods of quality
management to achieve all round business success."
SRF's Chemicals Business is engaged in the manufacture of
refrigerants, chloromethanes and fluorine based specialty
chemicals. The business employs over 600 people, with the
manufacturing plant located at Bhiwadi in Rajasthan.
Named after Dr. Deming, the man who taught the Japanese about
quality, the Deming Prize is highly valued as recognition of
outstanding practice of TQM (Total Quality Management) in the
pursuit of the strategic objectives of a company. The Deming
Prize is awarded through a rigorous process. A diagnosis is
carried out in the year prior to the application for the
prize. Detailed documents of the company, including
improvements made over many years, are examined by Japanese
counselors. A business that qualifies at this stage is
subjected to a rigorous on-site examination by a group of TQM
experts from Japan.
