UTTHAN-8 , A Quarterly improvement initiative competition

TCIL has always promoted employee performance and commitment by engaging its workforce in cross-functional activities. As a step forward in developing a systematic approach towards problem-solving at various levels ( using different QC tools ), an improvement initiative competition “Utthan” ( implying ‘Progress’) was formally launched by our Managing Director, Mr.Tarun Daga, on the 14th of August, 2009. Since then , the Business Excellence Group has been organizing this Quarterly improvement competition. There were 16 teams that had enrolled for the competition this time. The objective of this contest is to encourage employee focus on projects that yielded potential benefits to the bottom-line of the organization. The projects were selected by different CFTs of their respective areas on the basis of their KPIs linked to overall strategic objective of the organization. This also served as a platform to recognize the most deserving team-work. The most recent competition “Utthan-8” was held on 14th May, 2011 where these teams showcased their presentation adopting QC tools and through Daily Work Management methodology . These presentations were evaluated by eminent jury comprising of Mr. S.C.Sinha, DM(Electrical Services), Mr. Savio G.
