Efforts at Sri Lanka

How we cope with

Crisis

The Unit was closed on March 16th onwards as country wide Curfew was called and structured work from Home regimen started​. It was ensured relevant development work, cost saving ideation work, RM price reduction work and dealer engagement work over phone calls. When it was clear that Curfew is there to stay – it looked like our unit would be facing a 0 sale situation for the first time in History​. The unit Management team got together to discuss ​ the possibility of opening the factory with skeletal staff if we have any export order​. We contacted the police and requested them to allow us to open the factory to ensure we can service the export order​. There are certain protocols to be followed to get a curfew pass. We got a go ahead from the Public Health Inspector.

Once the curfew pass was recieved, we started depot sanitization for work to commence.​ We obtained a vehicle pass for outside districts from SSP of police & applied to IGP Office​. We started billing for last 4 days of April​. Ensured Material trapped in Vessels cleaned out completely – there was very minimal material loss​. As a result we sold 229KL of Material in April with 24mn of value in April 2020.​
