These awards motivate the companies to instill quality control measures in all their processes. The awards also generate a healthy competitive environment, encouraging the companies to excel.

The RPG quality awards are given to group companies (in the manufacturing or service categories) that exhibit outstanding levels of organizational excellence. Each company is assessed on predetermined criteria for RPG’s quality and organizational excellence awards, every year. The ‘Best TQM Team’ and ‘Best TQM Facilitator’ awards are given to encourage and appreciate improvement efforts at team and individual levels

The introduction of the awards has been effective in creating a better working environment by:

• providing direction and creating a uniform excellence culture throughout the group
• recognizing contributions made by individual units
• motivating the management and employees to work toward continuous improvement
• improving business results, and in turn providing a competitive edge to individual units in the domestic and global market
• improving company performance, based on the sound approach of strategy, policies and processes, and its organization-wide deployment
