BANGALORE: Wipro Infotech has become the first computer hardware manufacturer

to achieve the MAIT (Manufacturers' Association for Information Technology)

Level-II recognition for Business Excellence. To be presented at the MAIT Annual

General Meeting on August 4, 2000, at New Delhi, this recognition affirms that

Wipro's business results are being achieved through a systematic and process

driven business excellence initiative. "Winning the MAIT Level II award

once again highlights the benefits of Wipro's corporation-wide Six Sigma quality

initiative that focuses on defect reduction and cycle time reduction in key

business processes," said Wipro Ltd. vice chairman Arun K Thiagarajan.

For fiscal year 2000, Wipro has realized Rs 16.20 crore savings resulting

from Six Sigma Quality projects and has achieved the Four Sigma level in all key

business processes. Wipro today has over 250 teams working on Six Sigma

projects, led by over 30 Black Belts who are technical experts in quality

processes and measurement techniques.

MAIT's exhaustive excellence model is based on EFQM (European Foundation for

Quality Management) which measures and evaluates key enablers such as the

structures and processes used for achieving business results in an organization,

and checks how the key enablers impact positively on business performance. MAIT

Level II award recognizes that Wipro Infotech has achieved the requisite scores

in the areas of leadership, process management, customer satisfaction, people

management and society.
