The Pithampur plant in Madhya Pradesh manufactures CASE Construction Equipment

CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI /MI: CNHI) announces that its Pithampur, India plant has been certified Bronze Level in the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) program. The site manufactures loader backhoes and vibratory compactors under the Company's CASE Construction Equipment brand.

WCM is one of the global manufacturing industry's highest standards for the integrated management of manufacturing plants and processes. It is a pillar-structured system based on continuous improvement, designed to eliminate waste and loss from the production process by identifying objectives such as zero injuries, zero defects, zero breakdowns and zero waste. To certify improvements, a system of periodic third-party audits evaluates all of the WCM pillars, forming an overall score for each plant that is the basis for three achievement levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold.

This integrated model for managing all elements of an organization focuses on improving the efficiency of a company's technical and organizational components while maximizing market competitiveness. The widespread use of WCM principles at CNH Industrial plants allows the entire company to share a common culture based on efficient processes and a language universally recognized across all plants and countries in which CNH Industrial operates.
