On 13th Nov 2019, the Productivity Council organised the Productivity Improvement Forum 2019, an annual event which showcases the key results and findings of the various work groups with insights on opportunities and strategies for improvements.
This year’s Productivity Improvement Forum also saw the launch of the Productivity Certification Framework. First in the world, the framework will serve as the industry’s yardstick for productivity and to provide a measured approach to track and benchmark productivity efforts and improvements for the Process, Construction and Maintenance (PCM) sector in supporting the Energy and Chemicals Industry.
The launch ceremony was officiated in the presence of Dr Koh Poh Koon, Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry. The forum was attended by more than 100 local professionals from the Process Construction & Maintenance partners, Plant Owners & Plant Contractors and representatives from government agencies.
