Sigma Engineered Solutions Passes First Milestone for Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Award from the Japanese Institute of Plant Maintenance.

At Sigma Engineered Solutions (Sigma), one of our core values is to Improve, and our team in India has taken a significant step in moving forward.  This week, Sigma was notified by the Japanese Institute of Plant Maintenance that three of our facilities (Jaipur VKI, Pune Unit II, III) all cleared the first assessment stage for the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Award.

The Japanese Institute of Plant Maintenance evaluates industries for progress in excellence through TPM methodology adopted at each layer of the organization, cultural change, and business results achieved.  This first assessment focused on equipment and people and is a maintenance method that improves productivity to achieve zero losses and reinforces production foundations.

A second assessment of all three units will occur beginning in October, and we look forward to those results.
