The Automotive Industry in India is already the fourth largest in the world and is expected to be in the top 3 by 2026. This development has squeezed the producers to enormously adapt to the growing demands and also to cope with the variations in the market. This is not limited just to the original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s) but also to TIER 1 & TIER 2 manufacturers who supply to the vehicle manufacturers. The Automotive sector has been well known as the development hub of modern lean and for the use of lean practices such as Visual Management.
Visual Management is a technique which would help to imbibe & sustain the implemented Lean Techniques in industries at all level of employees i.e. from workers to the top management. Each division in an Automotive industry gives a unique and remarkable experience, has different needs and requires a divergent set of skills. There should be ease in communication and the information flow through each department should not be hindered as it impacts the overall productivityof the industry. Occupational Health and Safety in Automobile Companies must be up-to-the-mark to inculcate a safe working environment. Also, Consistency with regards to Safety & Quality of the vehicle is very significant as vehicles not constructed with good quality control are inherently dangerous which impacts the reputation of the organization. It plays a major role in reduction of lead time, minimizing rejection and rework which saves overall cost and man-hours of the Automotive Manufacturer. It must be ensured that the industry is compliant to the right standards such as IATF16949, ISO9001, VDA 6.X, etc. All of these factors are ensured by the implementation of International Techniques including Lean Flow, Kaizen, 5S, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Poka Yoke, etc. along with a Safe and Lean project management system. Successful execution of these lean techniques need a change in mindset at all levels of employees. Visual management with the help of visual tools can bring about the much needed cultural change.
