Message from Managing Director
Dear colleagues,
Recently we have introduced a new department in our company called Business Excellence under the leadership of Bhavan Kumar. I would like to share with you the goals and objectives that we as an organization will be defining and how this new department will facilitate the journey towards business excellence.
Business excellence is a general word, but we need to create our own definition of this. Some people call it lean manufacturing or world class manufacturing but, in the end, we need to take the principles of these concepts and implement them in our company tailored to our needs. My goal is to make TDPS a company that has production systems that are simple, effective, and robust and something that produces world class quality consistently.
Today, each one of us is fully aware of the tremendous problems we face during the manufacturing process — we have difficulties in every area. In the end, we still produce excellent quality machines, but we have a lot of struggles to make it happen. We must reduce these struggles and make our process more efficient. This is the goal of Business Excellence.
We will be using established tools such as Total Quality Management, Kaizen, Quality Circles, 5S and such buzz words that we have often heard but not yet implemented. The Business Excellence team will expose us and teach us these techniques and methods, and we will step-by-step implement them. This requires the participation of everyone.
It is very hard to come out of the circle of firefighting and spend time on improvements. But can we imagine doing double our current production in the same way as we are working now? I cannot imagine the pressure and the stress this will cause — therefore this is the right time to embrace these simple techniques and become more efficient. We are already late, but it is better to be late rather than never doing this. We will kick start this journey in February and I look forward to discussing in detail the road map to our future.
I am totally convinced that this is the way forward for our company and I am going to make it happen with the support of every single employee. Let's do it together.
Regards,
Nikhil Kumar
Managing Director
