We enhance our CI culture by organising awareness activities like CI seminars and workshops. Events such as these help to inculcate a strong CI culture which will encourage employees to actively seek opportunities to remove non-value-added steps in our processes, improve productivity and enhance our economic performance. Cross-Geography Exchanges In 2022, the Group CI Office organised an exchange at Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH facilities in Europe for our colleagues from Middle River Aerostructure Systems in the U.S. Through this exchange, our business units gained insights on deployment of CI principles, exchanged ideas on productivity tools and shared their composite manufacturing experiences which is a process used in both facilities. We Digitalise and Automate to Improve Productivity Automation and digitalisation of processes can help to reduce the lead time for labour intensive tasks, allow the monitoring of real time data, help identify anomalies and predict potential problems. Enhancing Our CI Culture In 2022, the Group CI Office organised a cross-business workshop “Our Strides in Continuous Improvement @ ST Engineering” in Singapore to share best practices among our business units, encourage appreciation of the usage of CI tools and inspire our employees to start their CI journey. The event included a tour of Commercial Aerospace’s engine facility. Automatic Metallurgy Sample Preparation Our Commercial Aerospace business designed a Robotic Metallurgy Laboratory Sample Preparation system. This first of its kind metallographic preparation system helps to improve productivity as samples can be prepared unattended, round-the-clock. It also improves quality as samples can be prepared in a consistent manner and with greater sample integrity. OVERVIEW OUR SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE INDEX 25
