National Quality Award for Logistics International The presentation of the Sri Lanka National Quality Award to Logistics International Ltd. (LIL) has established significant firsts for the company, its parent group and its sector, the company has said. A subsidiary of the Hayleys conglomerate's Transport Sector Group Maritime Holdings, LIL was adjudged winner in the Small Scale Service Sector category at the National Quality Awards for 2001. The award is the country's highest recognition for excellence in business management and execution. "LIL's achievement is a first for the container depot industry in Sri Lanka," the company's General Manager Chandima Allis said. "LIL is also the first company in the Hayleys Group to win this award." Logistics International commenced container depot operations in early 1997. The company has made giant strides in quality enhancement, becoming the first and only container depot in Sri Lanka to receive ISO 9002 certification, and being selected the best container depot in the region including South Africa, UAE, India and Pakistan by Textrainer, one of the largest container leasing companies in the world. "The National Quality Award brings us a step closer to our mission to be the benchmark company in the container depot industry in Sri Lanka," Mr Allis added. "New quality initiatives are planned for the current year to enhance our competitive edge." The Sri Lanka National Quality Award is based on an audit of seven inter-related areas - leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, information and analysis, human resource focus, process management and business results. It is modelled on the Malcolm Baldridge Quality Award programme in USA. The audit is conducted by a team of auditors from the Sri Lanka Standards Institution and the private sector. |
