Ensuring quality requires careful planning, close monitoring, and a commitment to continuous improvement. With this goal in mind, we focus on two key levels: what we do and how we do it. The process begins with thorough planning, setting clear goals and defining operating procedures \u2013 followed by close monitoring to ensure that we stay on schedule. By carefully following the process steps, we not only correct problems as they arise, but also learn from them and prevent similar mistakes in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-s-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to quality management, Mikko is also responsible for the Group&#8217;s sustainability and safety issues.
