The theme for this quarter's newsletter is Lean Manufacturing, a concept that involves never ending efforts to eliminate or reduce 'muda' (Japanese word for waste or any activity that consumes resources without adding value) in all activities involving people, processes and technologies. HCI suppliers club undertook a training program to increase awareness about Lean Manufacturing amongst the supplier companies and help create a culture of continuous improvement. This quarter also saw activities and trainings in energy management and safety together with a plant visit to Bosch, Jaipur which reiterated the concepts of safety and energy management as an organization culture. We congratulate Mr. Pankaj Mital who took over as the new President of the Suppliers Club this year. He has been associated with Honda Car India Suppliers Club for many years. The Suppliers Club will continue its successful journey under his able leadership.Through this newsletter we aim to communicate with all our suppliers and strengthen our bond with them.
