The SPiD (Superior Production Industrial Domain) awards were introduced just under ten years ago, as part of activities within the full BMI restructuring, to improve the plants, as well as bringing them all in line to the same standards. The SPiD award was recently renamed to the Factory Excellence Award, which, like the previous award, was based on KPI’s, audits, improvement checks and health and safety.
There are a number of tiers to the award, such as bronze, silver, gold, etc. but Schiedel have been awarded the top honour, the World Class Award for 5 consecutive years.
Out of 120 plants, only 3 (including Washington) have been awarded World Class Status, which means that Schiedel Chimney Systems in Washington are now one of the plants held up as an example to others on how to maximise efficiency.
The presentation of the award was made by Andreas Schlechter and Giuliano Caglio. The presentation took place in the SPiD area in the factory.
Well done to everyone at Schiedel Chimney Systems.
