BHEL to form quality circles at supervisor and executive level

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has initiated measures to form quality circles at the levels of supervisors and executives, Chairman and Managing Director B.Prasada Rao informed on Thursday. Though they are already involved indirectly in the quality circle movement through guidance, quality circles for officials will help in discussion of higher level of issues, Mr.Prasada Rao said inaugurating the 23 BHEL Annual Quality Circle Summit 2012 here. Enhancing productivity by increasing quality standards was vital for right pricing of products to sustain in a competitive scenario. “We must keep working on optimisation of cost, and talk, think and perform quality.” BHEL was continuously improving technology, he said, justifying the company’s high expenditure on research and development.
