[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Hyundai Rotem has been recognized for its innovative management by achieving the highest level certification in the Productivity Management System audit in Korea.

On the 12th, Hyundai Rotem announced that it had obtained the highest level, "Level 8," among domestic defense industry companies in the Productivity Management System (PMS) certification audit, hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Productivity Center. The PMS certification is a corporate capability diagnosis program implemented since 2005 to diagnose and support innovation and management systems across all fields for improving corporate productivity, divided into levels from 1 to 10.

The Level 8 certification obtained by Hyundai Rotem is the highest level previously certified among domestic defense companies and is awarded to companies with innovative management systems capable of flexibly responding to various environmental changes. Since this certification is directly linked to a company's external credibility, it can positively influence future domestic and international corporate contract activities.

Hyundai Rotem received scores two levels higher than the audit conducted in 2019 across all seven categories (Leadership, Innovation, Customer, Measurement, Analysis and Knowledge Management, Human Resources, Process, and Business Performance). Especially, despite the challenging management environment with increasing uncertainties such as the COVID-19 pandemic and inflationary pressures, the company was recognized for its efforts and achievements, including presenting an innovative vision to overcome crises, establishing a talent recruitment system, and developing localized products overseas, resulting in excellent certification results.

Specifically, innovative tasks proposed included ▲establishing corporate agility strategies ▲advancing and optimizing customer value propositions ▲cultivating innovation experts and securing employee capabilities ▲implementing next-generation systems such as defense product lifecycle management, enterprise resource planning, data-driven decision-making systems, and facility automation.

A Hyundai Rotem official stated, “By obtaining PMS Level 8, Hyundai Rotem’s efforts in management innovation and crisis management capabilities have been simultaneously recognized,” adding, “We will continue to strive to create a sustainable defense industry ecosystem based on advanced management systems.”
