During the year, several new initiatives were taken to improve and strengthen quality management systems at our sites. At the newly acquired RPCL facility, QA/QC systems were put in place at the time of plant start up - resulting in reliable results from the start. Total Quality Management was introduced in all the laboratories at Jamnagar. The 5 S programme was introduced at laboratories for inventory and document management. Inter laboratory testing across the Reliance group has been made a regular feature to monitor the reliability of analytical services. Suggestion schemes have been introduced to encourage the involvement of all employees in quality related activities - eighteen employees received awards. Reliance's efforts on the quality front continued to receive recognitions. The Jamnagar laboratory received recognition on the analytical front from CEMILAC (Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification) for its high level of Quality Confidence and Control Measures. 

Reliance's commitment to excellence and our efforts to continually enhance the quality of all products, processes and services contribute largely to our leadership in major businesses.
