CREATING THE FUTURE April-2012Volume-III

Shri.Harshad Patel

To all colleagues,

The last six months have

been particularly difficult as

the market that we serve

has not grown. We must

focus seriously on improving

productivity. It is very

important to distinguish

between cause and effect.

Reduction in cost and

improvement in Quality, are

the effects of working

Lean, which is the cause.

We need to apply ourselves

to the cause to achieve the

effect. The desired result

cannot be achieved by

working longer hours. I urge

the business unit heads to

lead the teams in the Lean

manufacturing effort.

Please do give your

suggestions of what the

Company can do to advance

your career as well as to

improve the knowledge

sharing and learning in theCompany.

God Bless us all.
