McCain's Springs Plant receives the highest Quality Award |
|
McCain South Africa's Springs Plant has recently
been awarded the Quality Award for 2016 in the Outstanding Performance
Awards globally. This award is presented to the organisation that shows
outstanding improvement in KEQ (Key Elements of Quality) compliance,
reduction in consumer complaints due to foreign objects as well as
having no adverse quality incidents in 2016. The KEQ is the
McCain Global Quality and Food Safety system that sets out the standard
practices and procedures required in the facility. The Springs team
conducted self-assessments focused on previous problems and issues
experienced, in order to implement corrective and preventative actions
in the Plant. An audit was then conducted by the Global Director of
Quality Systems at the Plant. The result of the audit saw an excellent
improvement in the previous year's scores. These corrective measures
have also meant that there has been a decrease in foreign material found
in product as well as a reduction in customer complaints. This
award is awarded by the McCain Global Operations Support team. McCain
has 45 manufacturing Plants globally and all plants that meet the
criteria set out by the Global Quality Council are considered for the
award. Award winning plants achieve this level of excellence through
meticulous organisation, remaining focused on the customer and by
driving collaboration among team members. "This is a huge
honour for the Springs Plant and we are incredibly proud of the work
being done there. This award is definitely testament to the hard work
and dedication that the team at the Springs Plant have put into
maintaining and improving quality and food safety standards and how
McCain always strives to give our consumers the best quality products
that we can give," says Deolinda Da Costa, Marketing Manager at McCain
South Africa. SANHA comments: SANHA
