Industrial Visit to Toyota Kirloskar Motor Plant

It was not long back when the MBA First Year students studied TPS as a lesson in Operation Management. But understanding Toyota Production System became more interesting when they saw the term of the Operations implemented on the field.

It was the 7th of May 2015, when 30 students of MBA 1st year along with 4 Teaching Staffstepped into the “TOYOTA KIRLOSKAR MOTOR” plant at Bidadi, on the outskirts of Bengaluru.

 Right from the supply of raw materials, best use of technologies in the process of production and producing best products without errors, they observed Kaizen, Six Sigma, Just in Time, Learning Manufacturing  followed by the production system at all levels of production. The employees at all hierarchy of the organisation were much disciplined, followed all rules and regulations and displayed best co-ordination and trust amongst themselves. There motive of work as quoted is “Safety First, Quality Must”.

The visit to the “TOYOTA KIRLOSKAR MOTOR” was a wonderful and cherished experience for all the students.
