Manufacturing
Excellence is all about our capability to reduce cost of our existing
models while enhancing their features and improving their technology.
One of the biggest strengths of "Manufacturing Excellence" has been
our ability to produce affordable and attractive cars for discerning
Indian customers with more features. |
| |
|
|
How do we do it -
by encouraging employee participation |
|
|

The
story of Maruti's manufacturing excellence hinges around four important
pillars Safety, Quality, Cost and Productivity.
While each of them support and complement each other, it is the
safety of the work place which makes the difference.
This learning has helped us design plants that are high on safety
features. Once safety of the work place has been taken care of,
all the other critical aspects such as cost, productivity and quality
fall in place.
The safety of the plant is closely supervised by employees themselves.
To ensure that they remain vigilant about safety of their work station
they list down all possible threats or hazards of their work stations
and do the needful by eliminating them completely. |

Lean
Manufacturing ushered a new era in the world of manufacturing. As
opposed to the mass manufacturing approach lean manufacturing is
all about high quality and high flexibility.
As a philosophy Lean Manufacturing is widely accliamed for its focus
on eliminating wastes of all kinds.
Our parent company Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) is a keen follower
of 'Lean Manufacturing' and we take pride in adopting the learnings
from SMC by developing the Maruti Production System on principles
of Suzuki Production System. |

Kaizen
(Continuous Improvement), has been the way of life at Maruti Suzuki.
In face of gaps between capacity and demand, Maruti did not go for
the obvious solution of increasing capacity but thoroughly examined
the areas of productivity enhancement. All Japanese principles to
eliminate waste or Muda were implemented.
Innumerable shop floor kaizens put together year on year, by every
employee on the shop floor, have enabled the company achieve these
fascinating numbers |
