Leading Manufacturing Companies – Raymond Ltd

In today’s volatile market, the price of the commodities can rise or fall considerably in a short period of time. Therefore, as the head of a manufacturing plant/business, you need to be on your toes to deal with any kind of adversity, believes Chatterjee.
Raymond’s manufacturing units have created a team of technicians (engineers) called a Technical Cell, which consists of management staff employees from each manufacturing department: R&D, supply chain and quality assurance. The basic idea is to make them work together right from the initial stages of manufacturing of a product.
The technical team members brainstorm for every technical aspect, while team members from quality assurance ensure that no compromises are being made on quality, whereas team members from the supply chain function ensure the flow of material is maintained within the assured time period. The collaborative effort of this team ensures the smooth conversion of a sample/trial to bulk.
“Every month, this team has a fixed meeting with me wherein we have a discussion about the products, processes, feedback and ideas, which basically help us to give the best qualitative results as a business,” Chatterjee concludes.
