Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) has bagged two prestigious awards at the 8th Edition of National Cluster Summit 2015 organized by CII at New Delhi held November 23-24.
HMIL has won the first prize in the quality category for its project on ‘E-Coat 7th Generation’ and second prize in green manufacturing for its award winning ‘RTO project’ (Regenerative Thermal Oxidation). HMIL also emerged as the top case study contributor in the 2015 edition which aims to maximise manufacturing competitiveness. Their projects were selected from amongst 150 entries.
An annual event by CII, this summit sees manufacturers (small, medium and large) exchange ideas and learn from each other on the latest trends in energy conservation through automation and technology. It serves as a rich platform to promote, discuss and share ideas on this subject. This year’s theme was ‘Build SME Competitiveness: Invest in Clusters’.
Manufacturers are awarded in categories like Productivity, Quality, ‘Energy and Cost’, Total Employee Involvement, Green Manufacturing and Productivity, Quality, Cost, Delivery, ‘5S, Safety and Morale’ and Environment. HMIL won in the large industries category.
HMIL says this award underscores its environment friendly initiatives in manufacturing and its strong focus on resource conservation while improving quality and efficiency. The factory premises at Sriperumbudur near Chennai is home to several environmental initiatives such as not discharging any water and recycling it 100%, rain water harvesting ponds with a catchment of 2.75 lakh kilo litres of rain water and aiming to reduce energy consumption per car by 3-4% annually.
