Emphasizing a commitment to operational excellence, systematic problem-solving, and sustainable value generation for its business partners, Macbertan has marked a significant achievement by securing two esteemed Gold Awards at the recently held National Convention on Quality and Productivity (NCQP) 2026. This event, hosted by the Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Quality and Productivity (SLAAQP), stands as the foremost national forum in the country for promoting ongoing improvement and innovation in operations.
This year’s convention featured fierce competition, attracting over 2,000 participants and more than 450 quality enhancement teams from over 100 prominent corporations across the nation. In this highly competitive environment, Macbertan entered two cross-functional improvement teams in the Quality Control Circles (QCC) category. Both teams emerged victorious, winning Gold Awards, which is a testament to the company’s entrenched quality culture.
The projects that garnered awards were specifically aimed at enhancing process capabilities, reducing waste, increasing manufacturing accuracy, and improving overall productivity. Macbertan’s cross-functional teams utilized structured, data-driven problem-solving techniques such as Brainstorming, Fishbone (Cause-and-Effect) Analysis, and 5-Why Analysis. This rigorous application of Kaizen principles successfully improved workplace performance while upholding standards of environmental sustainability and workplace safety.
For Macbertan’s corporate and retail clients, this national accolade offers tangible business benefits. The enhancements made to manufacturing processes ensure greater product reliability, consistent quality, reduced defect rates, and a highly responsive supply chain capable of meeting stringent deadlines. By significantly lowering operational costs and waste levels, Macbertan enhances its ability to provide sustainable, high-quality solutions that add long-term value to its clients’ operations.
