29 students from II Semester MBA were taken on a one day Industrial Visit to Toyota Kirloskar plant located at Bidadi on 29^th Feb2016. Mr. Basil Ealias, Corporate Relations Manager, DSBA accompanied the students.

 TKM considers receiving visitors as an important activity. They believe, it is an opportunity given to them to showcase Toyota's world renowned manufacturing process. They encourage educational institutions/Corporate to visit them, so as to share with them their journey, as they have been in India for over a decade. They also let the visitors witness the quality products coming out of their state of art manufacturing plant and help them have a glimpse on their unique training facilities. The college was given a slot for visit between 1:45 p.m and 4:30 p.m and hence the MBA students started from the college at 12:30 p.m and reached the plant at 1:15 p.m.

Mr Gopinath from the HR dept welcomed them at the plant and gave a talk on the automobile industry of India. He briefed the students on Toyota’s presence in India, its manufacturing facilities and the functioning of the plant. He also enlightened the students about the plant spreading across 432 acres and its capacity of manufacturing 110,000 vehicles per annum.

After a coffee break they were taken to the Bay to witness the manufacturing process. This was followed by question/answer session wherein all the queries raised by the students were answered and they were informed about career opportunities at Toyota.

The students were back in college at 5:30 p.m.

The visit gave the students deep insight and a revelation on the actual car manufacturing process.
