By performing improvement tasks, small and medium-sized companies secure technological prowess and increase profitability, while POSCO receives excellent products through specialized and capable small and medium-sized companies. It has established itself as a standard model representing shared growth in the industry in that it simultaneously strengthens the mutual competitiveness of POSCO and small and medium-sized companies in the long term. POSCO has carried out a total of 5,521 improvement tasks in various areas such as localization, cost reduction, safety environment, and sales expansion with 2,316 companies up to last year, and paid a total of 803.1 billion won in SME performance rewards.

The ‘Smart Capacity Enhancement’ that supports productivity innovation in SMEs is characterized by cultivating the innovation mindset of SME employees through POSCO’s unique innovation technique, QSS (Quick Six Sigma), and supporting the construction of smart factories on that foundation, thereby maximizing the improvement effect. From 2013 to last year, POSCO has invested a total of 39.3 billion won to support 2,234 companies with and without transactions, and has received a great response from the beneficiary companies by achieving meaningful results such as increased sales and reduced production lead times.
