Natural Gas Production & Supply Facility Maintenance
At each project site, Quality circles have a meeting at least once a week. When the team find an issue at the site, they propose solving plans to problem, and implement those plans to improve maintenance productivity. A maintenance quality inprovement conference is held every year to share excellent ideas and activities. We also encourage our employees to participate in other competitions outside the company.
