We demonstrated successful sustenance of IMS during the online audit conducted at 8 locations and the Head Office in January 2022.
The Mahindra Way
We follow ‘The Mahindra Way’ (‘TMW’), the Mahindra Group’s Business Excellence Model to drive excellence. It is an integrated approach that extends beyond the quality of our products and services to encompass excellence in all functions, processes, and operations within the businesses in the Group. Every year we undergo an annual assessment by experienced assessors and based on the feedback received, improvements are carried out by following a PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) approach. This provides us with regular feedback on our progress and serves as a common yardstick to measure TMW maturity (on process and results) for your Company and across different leadership strategy companies in the Group. In FY22, we sustained a stage 4 rating in the TMW Cycle 13 Assessment conducted in the month of November 2021.
