E-Tex Staff - New Delhi

The Association for Overseas Technical Scholarship (AOTS) and Juki, the sewing industrial machine major, has announced five-day production management seminars in Chennai and Delhi.

In Chennai, the seminars will be held from November 25-29 at Radha Park Inn and in Delhi from December 1-5 at Crown Plaza Surya Hotel.

“Senior experts from Juki Corporation, Japan, will give practical training to over 100 production heads of country’s leading apparel houses on production management like new assembly line set up, time and motion study and process analysis,” informed Mr Masahiro Oba, managing director, Juki India.

Announcing the programme, Mr Masahiro Ishizaka, president, Juki, Singapore Pte Said that the AOTS and JUKI has been regularly sponsoring technological and managerial training programmes in India. “Developing talents of those with abilities in production and management is vital for the more rapid industrial advancement of developing nations,” he said.

AOTS also sponsors people for technical and managerial training programmes in Japan and reported to have given training to more than 90,000 people so far.

The Indian market is the biggest in the region only second to China and growing. The Indian garment industry should gear up to face competition in terms of quality and price of its products. The industry requires a lot of technological upgradation.

Installation of sophisticated machines and better skills would enable it to gain a competitive edge in the global trade. “If India has to globalise its garment trade, the industry will have to work the way the world does. Need of the day is to increase productivity to cut down on cost and this is possible only if Indian factories move away from piece rate system to assembly line system which will ensure quick detection of faults, in time alterations and fine tuning worker skills,” said Mr Ishizaka. Juki, which supplies the entire range of apparel processes, from planning, to cutting, sewing finishing and transport also, provides support for its customers in terms of services and software.

For example, by assisting apparel manufacturers in improving productivity and work environment as well as developing efficient production systems. “AOTS-JUKI programmes indeed help in creating awareness about modern garment making processes and most of all changing the mindsets about cost effectiveness of the new systems,” remarked a spokesperson of Shahi Exports. The seminars are expected to be attended by the senior people of the production department of leading export houses and clothing brands of the country.
