A Model Plant: In order to motivate the plants to accelerate their journey towards world class, the Corporate Business Excellence team started the Model Plant initiative. A Model plant under this scheme has the basics of WCM well embedded and integrated into the operations (BCE Green), the WCM practices should be a part of the daily process and its operational excellence projects should be aligned to the top 10 issues of the plant.

They should also be able to justify that they have two best practices in the Aditya Birla Group and two performance areas that are their best. Kotputli Cement Works, Star Cement Dubai, Birla Carbon Patalganga, Madura Lifestyle and Fashion - Bangalore, and Hindalco Taloja have been adjudged as Model Plants. The aim for 2016 is to have at least 10 more model plants.

Business Excellence Awards: In order to rate and reward and set new benchmarks, the Business Excellence Awards take place every two years. The businesses are rated for their implementation and their adherence to the framework while innovating in their own spheres of work by an eminent jury comprising of experts in their respective fields.

During gap years businesses themselves check their progress and make amendments accordingly. Corporate Business Excellence looks critically at the various businesses and encourages them to give their best while they make an impact with their manufacturing practices and as a result the Aditya Birla Group has been repeatedly honoured for its quality and efficiency.
