Addressing a specialized panel at the Petrochemical Industry
Excellence Award on Wednesday, Hassan Abbaszadeh said 95 companies were
evaluated for the last edition of the award, adding: "Apart from
manufacturing companies, we try to expand the presence of suppliers, services
and downstream companies."
Abbaszadeh noted that the Iranian petrochemical industry has
been a leader in using new management tools in the country, adding: “Petrochemical
companies need to increase productivity and equip themselves with state-of-the-art
tools”.
He pointed to the approval of the Petrochemical Industry
Excellence Award based on the EFQM model in the board of directors of the
National Petrochemical Company in 2010, and added: “Accordingly, the quality
evaluation of petrochemical companies is done in a coherent management format,
and by holding this Excellence Award, companies are encouraged to take a step
in this direction.”
"With the formation of this award, many trainings were
done in this field and now we can say Iran’s petrochemical industry is that
there is an excellent manager in all petrochemical companies,” he went on to
add.
Abbaszadeh pointed to the training of more than 250 evaluators
in the petrochemical industry based on standard criteria in eight Excellence
Awards, and said: "Retraining is done every year and now about 100 people
have received certificates from the European Quality Management
Foundation."
