Last year, 93 companies certified and operated 209 categories.

Major achievements include fostering excellent internal experts, enhancing corporate competitiveness, reducing accident and failure rates, decreasing turnover and increasing long-term employees, competency-based personnel evaluation, and increased internal and external satisfaction.
