WITH DIGITAL MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES gaining immense momentum post pandemic, a symposium on the subject was sure to find an eager audience.
The roundtable “Ensuring Business Continuity through Workforce Management Strategies” hit the right note from the word go as stalwarts from the manufacturing industry drew the attendees in with engaging anecdotes and insightful discourse on, ‘Leveraging Technology to Empower Workforce Management’.
“Our productivity with 650 people after technology adoption was more than our productivity pre-COVID with 750 people,” announced Ashok Malhotra, Vice President and Site head, SRF Limited. In a post pandemic manufacturing world, that was enough to have all ears.
“We are not going for any high funda technology,” sobered Dr S Devrajan, Sr. Vice President, TVS Motor Company. Coming from Devrajan, whose area of attention is Lean Manufacturing Systems and Automation in a company that rolls out a vehicle every 30 seconds, it was an attention grabber.
Their insights were a precursor to engaging deliberations on the role of technologies in empowering workforce management in the first of a two-part series of virtual engagements presented by UKG and supported by Manufacturing Today.
Other luminaries at the meeting were Vikas Thapa, GCHRO - Spark Minda Group; Debasish Bhattacharjee, Deputy President (Works)-MMTC PAMP India Pvt Ltd; Anurgam Vatsa, Associate Vice President, Plant Head, RSB Pant Nagar and Sumeet Doshi, Country Manager India, Ultimate Kronos Group UKG.
