Removing Abnormalities that have crept in

since the Plants were set up. Restoring the

Decay: natural or forced
A Culture for Prevention
Adherence to Process Conditions/ Process
Values
Continuous Innovations in Process, Products,
etc. For this: Challenge the way we Think, the
way we Act
Develop the Organizational Capability (MCpk)
for challenging and improving on the status
quo
Key Objective
Develop Values, Beliefs and Attitudes for
rejecting Abnormalities/ Deviations from World
Class Standards. And, we develop an
Abnormality Free Culture that is a prerequisite
for QCDIP.

And

Use Weapons, Tools and Techniques for
achieving our Mission.
First Step: Full use of Five Senses
There is a saying: Keep your eyes, ears, nose
and hand alert while working in a plant
The basic mission is to ensure normal
operations:
Eyes: any abnormal disorder in level, flow,
process parameter, metering, control,
operation, etc.
Ears: any abnormal sound, if installation
disorder
Nose: any abnormal smell of overheating,
burning, leakage
Hand: instant feel of temperature,
vibrations, elasticity, etc.
Feel: feel for irritation, etc.
