BHEL is implementing a structured model—Quality360 (latest in-house QMER model), to measure and improve the Quality system maturity index across all its divisions. Business Excellence movement has been initiated in-line with the latest EFQM 2020. The company has taken a number of steps including standardization of quality processes and systems, extensive training programs at various levels and introduction of reward schemes to create a future ready workforce delivering superior products & services.
