Through decentralized power and responsibility, decisions are made by those best able to take them. Our business systems define the underlying principles needed to create a performance culture in a unit. An example is our Aluminium Metal Production System (AMPS), which is our best practice system and standard for world-class production and improvement in our primary metal and metal markets business. AMPS builds on the principle of empowerment of each employee. The productions system is implemented at all our smelters, including the joint-venture plants Qatalum and Slovalco. All employees in the organization are included in the process, which involves e-learning, classroom training and more. AMPS also includes an ongoing leadership development program for all employees in management or supervisory positions. So far, nearly 2000 employees have participated, including 750 managers and supervisors.
Our extrusion and rolling activities have similar systems adapted to their business needs.
