Leadership
It is not difficult to understand why Thai Acrylic Fibre Co.,
Ltd. has been earning recognition year after year. The company
culture is guided by a strong leadership – one that emphasises
building character and competence, enhances personal and interpersonal
attributes, honours the past while existing for the future,
manages things and guides people, is willing to learn what
is right and unlearn what has been proven wrong, centres on
values and serves both employees and customers.
As far as the company is concerned, the outcome of effective
leadership is simple:
it turns aspirations into actions. The company’s aspirations,
which are clearly defined in its vision, strategic goals,
objectives and plans, focus on the future by visualising the
possibilities. Through the company’s strong leadership, aspirations
are shared with every employee, and are turned into actions,
with everyone working for the same purpose.
Power to the people
TAF regards QC circles as an important activity for Total
Quality Management. This is vital in creating a favourable
and productive work environment, as well as building a company
culture of mutual respect and solid teamwork. It also encourages
the qualitative involvement of all employees in every company
improvement endeavour.
Customers first
As far as TAF is concerned, the word “customer” does not only
mean those who buy its products. The company’s redefinition
of the word has grown to include its own employees, suppliers,
shareholders and the community at large. In short, anyone
affected by the business is a customer.
A big portion of the company’s products is exported overseas,
with Southeast Asia as its biggest market. Incorporating state-of-the-art
technology with the most sophisticated quality control system
and facilities available, the company works hand-in-hand with
customers to deliver excellence.
With an aim to share its concept of quality with the people
outside the company – the community – TAF recognises its Quality
of Life Club as an integral quality tool. The Club allows
“quality” to penetrate into the personal lives of its employees
and the community.
