“Darshan College Visits Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt Ltd & Experiences the Quality Revolution”
“You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.” said the French Philosopher Albert Camus. In line with the above Oliver Holmes affirmed “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” Having these expressions in mind Darshan College encouraged and organised an industrial visit to the well-known “Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt. Ltd. and it’s quality revolution.” The students discovered with their own eyes and had the firsthand experience of innovative and creative revolution of Toyota through interaction and exposure to the working methods and employment practices. The novelty of Toyota’s revolution lies in Toyota Production System (TPS). To understand this, the students were introduced to the history of Toyota in India, then the “Gurukul” where the new employees are inducted, followed by Innovation Center, National Manpower Excellence Center, 5.5 km Test Track, Parts Distribution Center, and finally Completely Build Unit which stores the manufactured motors. Moreover, the students were touched by the social responsibility of the company which caters to the school dropout youth through Toyota Technical Training Institute. The success of Toyota lies in the DNA of TPS which upholds the five pillars philosophy. They are: 1) Challenge. 2) Kaizen (Continuous innovation). 3) Genchi Genbutsu (Going back to the roots of the problem). 4) Respect. 5) Teamwork. That’s the secret of Toyata’s quality revolution!
