Key Factors To Make ‘Make In India’ A Big Success

Most recently, India has launched the “Make In India” program in an effort to locally manufacture as many as 181 products that they currently import. “The key success factors for manufacturing industries are efficiency and productivity.” Although few Indian manufacturers have achieved global recognition for efficiency and productivity before, with Lean and Six Sigma methods and tools, India’s goal can become a reality.

Ishida Europe partnered up with PP Electrical Systems and reports that, “Results have been emphatic.” PP Electrical Systems operates in a 40,000 sq ft facility in the West Midlands with Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma principles.

El Paso City Council: Northeast City Park Is Back On Track With Same Company

The park was supposed to be ready in the Summer of 2014 however, remains incomplete well into 2015. While Spartan runs behind, the City convened last week to contemplate terminating the contract.
