Amid an increasingly dynamic industrial landscape, innovation has become a critical factor in maintaining competitiveness and driving sustainable business growth. As part of Astra’s long-standing culture, the spirit of continuous improvement serves as a fundamental pillar in every business initiative undertaken by the Astra Otoparts Group.
As part of the Company’s 50th anniversary celebration and its ongoing innovation development efforts, PT Astra Otoparts Tbk (“Astra Otoparts”) held the Kick-off and Socialization of the Business Performance Improvement (BPI) and Value Chain Innovation (VCI) programs on 4 June 2026.
The event marked the official launch of the BPI and VCI competition across the Astra Otoparts Group and represented the first integration of these programs into the annual Astra Otoparts Innovation Convention (AOIC).
Carrying the theme “Empowering to Inspire Innovation,” the competition aims to encourage all Astra Otoparts Group companies to actively develop innovations that are relevant, measurable, and capable of delivering tangible business impact.
“We hope that the BPI and VCI competition will serve as a platform for all Astra Otoparts Group companies to continuously generate innovations and improvements that create meaningful impact. Through a strong spirit of continuous improvement, each entity can contribute added value not only to its own business operations but also to the sustainable growth of the Astra Otoparts Group as a whole,” said Ronny Kusgianta, Director of Astra Otoparts.
To support the success of the program, Astra Otoparts is collaborating with the Astra Management Development Institute (AMDI) as a facilitator. AMDI provides participants with insights into BPI and VCI concepts, guidance on developing innovation project reports, and opportunities to learn from best practices and award-winning projects from previous InnovAstra events.
Through this initiative, Astra Otoparts aims to foster the creation of more innovations and improvements that enhance efficiency and strengthen business competitiveness. By continuously nurturing a culture of improvement, Astra Otoparts believes that every innovation, no matter how small, can become a significant step toward achieving sustainable growth.
