Wide Participation from OMC
Demonstrating its strong commitment to continuous improvement, OMC fielded 22 Quality Circle teams from different mines and plants across Odisha. Each team presented innovative projects covering diverse areas such as production, sales, environment management, workplace safety, IT-enabled solutions, healthcare, and quality control. The teams employed detailed case study presentations, model displays, and knowledge assessments to highlight their collaborative problem-solving methods and innovative approaches.
The projects not only reflected technical expertise but also underscored OMC’s philosophy of integrating sustainability, efficiency, and employee participation into everyday operations.
