QC teams from various industries presented their projects aimed at achieving operational excellence.
At the event, OMC’s teams were recognised for their innovation, teamwork, and problem-solving approaches, competing through rigorous case study presentations, knowledge tests, and model displays. A total of 22 teams from OMC’s mines and plants presented projects related to production, sales, environment, safety, IT, quality control, healthcare, and more.
With this achievement, the Gold award-winning teams—representing the highest recognition in their respective categories—will now represent OMC at the upcoming National Convention on Quality Concepts (NCQC-2025), taking the corporation’s success to the national stage.
