9. What are your future plans and
priorities for enhancing quality and
Lean Six Sigma integration in the
corporation’s projects?

We are committed to embracing new technologies, and
to do so effectively, we must adhere to stringent quality
management systems. Without this commitment, we
risk regressing to outdated practices from the 1970s.
By integrating cutting-edge technologies and aiming
to export our materials and products, we must align
with Lean Six Sigma principles and robust quality
management systems.
Key considerations include time management, reducing
our carbon footprint, and carefully selecting the
chemicals we use. Training our personnel to minimize
material waste and optimize time usage is essential.
Implementing these practices across SD&CC ensures that
we remain competitive and forward-thinking, ultimately
enhancing our efficiency and sustainability.

10. At last, what you would like to
share about SD&CC’s commitment
to quality and Lean Six Sigma in
construction?

SD&CC plays a crucial role in adhering to regulations
and leveraging opportunities, particularly through
collaborations with universities. By engaging in
training programs, accessing valuable information, and
participating in research initiatives, we can apply these
insights in our operations. Our team is enthusiastic about
embracing these challenges, and with the expertise we
acquire, we can implement and demonstrate innovative
practices in the market.
This proactive approach not only showcases our
capabilities but also sets a benchmark for smaller
construction companies to follow. This ripple effect can
be a significant turning point, propelling our country’s
construction industry forward and fostering overall
development.
