Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Quality and Productivity (SLAAQP) was founded in 1996. Since then the association has immensely contributed to the Quality and productivity of our nation. SLAAQP is a nonprofit making organization comprised of Professionals who wish to contribute their time and knowledge to uplift the Quality and Productivity of our nation.
Our key events comprise the annual National Convention of Quality and Productivity, the annual 5S convention, Green Productivity Award, and further extends its services to the industry by holding public seminars and tailor-made in-house training programs. Hence productivity promotion in the private sector, public sector, education sector, and community sector is being achieved through establishing a productive work culture within the country, encouraging innovation and creativity, launching an awareness program to the general public, and socializing the program on productivity promotion as a national campaign. By enhancing quality and productivity it is hoped to provide benefits to consumers/workers by improving the standard of living, to businesses by creating more outputs with the same or fewer inputs, and to the Government by generating larger tax payments through higher economic growth.
