With the motto of "Quality People, Quality Products",   PAC’s Total Industrial Engineering Dept. (TIE) annually holds the Quality Check Technical Skills Competition and In-House Quality Control Circle Competition. 

Through this activity, the technical skills of the associates are developed.

The Quality Check Competition aims to level up skills technique of each associate and ingrain in their minds the importance and purpose of quality check. With their skills improved, the company believes that continuous improvement of  the product will follow.

In line with this belief, the company also holds other competitions  in other  areas such as; the In-House Quality Control Circle (QCC) Competition --to promote improvements both in Production and Non-Production areas.

There are also group learning circles, like the Quality Control Circle (also called Kaizen Circle) -- a group activity wherein  members are challenged to solve problems according to the basic QC principles, using the QC tools. QCC activities improve the individual capabilities of each circle member resulting to performance improvement in the workplace and consequently,  company development.

The In-House QCC Competition is an opportunity for each circle to present their works of ingenuity and hard work. The winning circle automatically represents the company in the Toyota Supplier's Club (TSC) Kaizen Competition, ASEAN QCC Competition and Global QCC Convention.
