PARAMOUNT, Calif., June 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Corteva Agriscience announced today a multi-year maintenance contract with Total-Western for their Northern California facility.

The contract expands on an already existing partnership between the two companies which primarily focused on small capital projects. With the integration of maintenance and Light Industrial Contracting (LIC) services, Total-Western will help Corteva improve operations by applying Lean processes in the spirit of operational improvement. Lean methods focus on developing and managing projects through relationships, shared knowledge, and common goals.

"We're excited to grow our relationship with Corteva, and we appreciate their trust in us and our abilities," said Payman Farrokhyar, President of Total-Western. "We look forward to showing them how much more we can do."

An essential cornerstone of Total-Western's approach to work is their Personal Accountability System Survey (PASS) program. As a crucial building block of the Lean process, PASS outlines a comprehensive and organized approach to task performance that improves, expands, and ensures their capacity and reliability.

"While we've only been working with Total-Western for a little over a year, we're impressed with their commitment to safety, quality and cost effectiveness," said Maria Peralta, Global Procurement Category Leader for Site Services at Corteva Agriscience. "We look forward to seeing them apply those same values to the latest additions of our service contract."
