Orange Excellence Powers Improvement Orange Excellence is Aggreko’s own program for assessing and improving safety, security and operations. Through its success, the company has been able to strengthen working relationships with military personnel who depend on Aggreko for power. In fact, building on the U.S. military’s Lean Six Sigma program, improvements through Orange Excellence often are adopted and promoted at the military facilities themselves. One Orange Excellence project at Camp Dwyer, Afghanistan, brought significant improvements in manpower management and operations control. Aggreko managers standardized daily inspection and maintenance tasks, improved preventive
maintenance methods, and increased efficiency by optimizing their parts inventory. Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, is another Orange Excellence success story. Through a combination of personnel training and new procedures, along with new methods for storing and accounting for high-value tools and equipment, Aggreko is providing power there at a high level of efficiency. Feedback from military liaisons has been very positive, so Aggreko continues to use Orange Excellence as a useful tool to prepare for the next 50 years of keeping the electricity on with the U.S. military— wherever we may serve together.
Rupert Soames, CEO The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is among the very best engineering and construction organizations in the world—military or civilian. There’s nothing the professionals of USACE have set out to do that they haven’t accomplished, oftentimes under extreme climate conditions and in hostile locations. Those are the reasons why the men and women of Aggreko are proud to serve alongside our colleagues of USACE. Throughout these past years in Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti and other locations, our work together has powered the efforts of the courageous service members and civilians who carry out and support vital missions, from national defense to humanitarian relief. Winston Churchill once said, “Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality that guarantees all the others.” It takes an undeniable brand of courage to perform mission-critical functions correctly and effectively, and to hold others to that standard as well. We at Aggreko recognize those qualities in our work with USACE colleagues each and every day, and we strive to perform our own work accordingly.
