Interloop Way defines how we achieve prosperity and sustainability through Respect for People and Continuous Improvement.
Since Interloop’s inception, the management has been committed to continuously improve work processes and implement modern world-class practices. To enhance its learning about continuous improvement, Interloop has invested heavily on training its people, locally and overseas
People & Lean
Interloop was introduced to Lean by one of our customers, NIKE, and since 2009, we have been applying Lean for improving our manufacturing processes and becoming robust in our operations. A centralized Lean Resource Group was created in 2010 for creating awareness about Lean Philosophy across the company, and by 2011 the Lean implementation teams started working towards developing the Lean Culture at the plant level. Over the years, multiple training workshops have also been organized for Interloop’s senior & middle management, by world-renowned consultancies including American Links and Toyota Engineering Corporation in Japan.
Interloop fully understands the significance of our ‘people practices’ supporting the deployment of Lean so that this develops as part of our culture. Consequently, in 2017, the company started designing ‘Interloop-Way’, comprising Lean & People components. Interloop-Way will improve our people practices, systems & processes and will help in achieving full engagement, for sustainable growth and development.
Uniform Behaviors
In 2019, under the emblem of Interloop-Way, we Launched Uniform Behaviors; a complete Manual about expected behaviors at the workplace. It defines the set of particular behaviors that need to be demonstrated by every employee, unanimously throughout the company, and acts as a sustainable roadmap, for closing development gaps and providing employees with a clear direction for how to work for success in their personal and professional lives.
To enhance learning of its Senior & Middle Management about continuous improvement, Interloop organizes TPS and TMS workshops with Toyota Engineering Corporation in Japan on an ongoing basis where executives from across the company develop knowledge about workplace improvement, quality, speed & visualization, building quality into process, production planning & management, advanced Kaizen, production engineering & automation, cost reduction and quality cost circles.
Interloop fully understands the significance of our ‘people practices’ supporting deployment of Lean so that this develops as part of our culture. Consequently, in 2017, the company decided to design ‘Interloop-Way’, comprising Lean & People components. It consists of standardized good practices we have been performing all along. At Interloop, all of us work cohesively in treating our people, customers and stakeholders with respect and strive for continuous improvement. This has resulted in tremendous success for all of us over the years. We have named our culture, which stems from our organizational DNA, as ‘Interloop Way’. For sustained prosperity (success for enterprise = success for our people), we have realized the need to articulate Interloop Way, which defines how we perform and behave so that we can hold on to it, sustain what we have created, and create consistency as we expand globally.
Interloop Way will improve our people practices, systems & processes such as problem-solving, recruiting, organizational development, performance management, job rotations and improved two-way communications.
Our Lean journey to create Interloop Way is about achieving the desired culture towards full engagement as well as mutual understanding & trust between the company and the team members, and achieving a balance between the company and employee needs, for sustainable growth and development. It’s a long haul towards achieving our Mission:
“To be an agent of positive change for the stakeholders and community by pursuing an ethical and sustainable business”
