 ar\, Vice President – Operations\, Quality and Product Development\, Toy
 oda Gosei South India Pvt Ltd addressing industry leaders\n\nA 25-member b
 atch comprising of industry leaders and a few students formed part of the 
 industry visit delegation. Shri. B Thejkumar\, Vice President – Operatio
 ns\, Quality and Product Development\, Toyoda Gosei South India Pvt Ltd ap
 prised the team the importance of imparting training\, embedding quality a
 nd following SOPs for a sustained company growth.\n\nThe select group of E
 xecutives got to see first-hand cutting-edge manufacturing facilities at 
 the plant which rolls out high end quality injection moulding products.\n\
 nThe participants also interacted with the senior leadership team on the L
 ean Management Innovation that Toyota practices in its manufacturing proce
 sses. The Team shared key principles of Lean Manufacturing philosophy with
  the visiting participants that basically focuses on embedding quality in 
 the assembly lines itself. The participants also got a peek on Toyota Grou
 p’s continuous improvement programmes where\, it constantly strives for 
 input cost reduction\, value from waste and nurturing suppliers as their l
 ong-standing partners in business sustenance.\n\n\n\nThe participants were
  run through the fundamentals of Toyota Production System (TPS) through da
 ily Management which is very essential to run any manufacturing facility. 
 The\n\nToyota Production System (TPS) was established based on two concept
 s: The first is called "jidoka" (which can be loosely translated as "autom
 ation with a human touch") which means that when a problem occurs\, the eq
 uipment stops immediately\, preventing defective products from being produ
 ced\; The second is the concept of "Just-in-Time\," in which each process 
 produces only what is needed by the next process in a continuous flow. Bas
 ed on the basic philosophies of jidoka and Just-in-Time\, the TPS can effi
 ciently and quickly produce vehicles of sound quality\, one at a time\, th
 at fully satisfy customer requirements.\n\nShri. Thejkumar said that that 
 working with TPS allows companies to produce high-quality\, cost-effective
  products\, that are delivered to customers on time. The production respec
 ts the environment\, which includes recycling of products at the end of th
 eir lifetime. And it also creates a safe workplace\, both for the employee
 s and the customers.\n\nAt the Toyoda facility\, the visiting delegates e
 xperienced how meticulously each of the processes is planned at the manufa
 cturing unit to roll out end-to-end finished product.\n\nThe industrial vi
 sit is part of Laghu Udyog Bharati-Karnataka’s member-connect programme\
 , wherein best practices are shared with member companies so that they rep
 licate the top-end manufacturing culture back at their own plants.\n\n&nbs
