Leading Manufacturing Companies – Bosch Ltd

Dr. Andreas Wolf prefers to call the company as a supplier of technology and services or the ‘Internet of Things’ company. India is the biggest hub, outside of Germany, where 18,000 work on areas related to R&D alone. With 10 legal entities, 17 manufacturing locations and 1,500 business partners, the conglomerate expects to grow at a CAGR of 6-8% in one of the fastest growing economies in the world. That’s how important India is to Bosch.
“We have several plants globally, from automotive to packaging to electronics to power tools and security systems. It’s important that we transfer the knowhow gained from one plant to other locations. That way collaboration of the plants happen on a global level,” he says.
Bosch’s Chakan plant has achieved a quality level close to zero defects. Not only that, it has also recorded high customer satisfaction apart from seeing significant increase in productivity. In the near future, the plant will look to implement Industry 4.0 solutions for preventive maintenance, energy management and even for the training of shop floor associates along with the possibility of linking factory systems to business applications.
His goal is to ensure that all the 17 plants in India achieve operational excellence, work deftly on the Bosch Production System (BPS), and engage in Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing.
