Journey of Sundaram-Clayton:
Introduction phase (1987 to 1990) - The change process was started with the aim of getting a “buy-in†from the employees. As a first step, “change seminars†were conducted for all employees, stressing the need for change. The visible barriers were broken with a common uniform and canteen for all employees, no cabins for managers and open offices to enable easy accessibility of employees to the heads of the departments. This contributed to a change in the mindset of employees, which began viewing the management as part of the same team.
Success factors leading to recognition - Another major initiative related to the restructuring of the manufacturing system. Process layout was changed to product based layouts. Manufacturing units (factories within factory) were formed, based on product groups. Workmen were trained to become multi-skilled, whereby they worked on many machines. The production managers were empowered and held accountable for quality, cost and delivery.
Promotion phase (1990 to 1994) - Policy management process, which commenced at SCL in 1990-91, helped create company-wide goal congruence. The annual targets of the company were deployed to various departments and individuals. Guidelines were provided, towards achieving company objectives, highlighting broad strategies that needed to be followed by all. Each department aligned its objectives and action plans towards achieving the company objectives.
As a part of TQM implementation, the company-wide quality assurance system was executed. The culture of quality by inspection was gradually changed to quality control and quality assurance (QA). Focus was placed on ownership of quality by the manufacturing units, supplier quality improvements and the genba audit concept.
Deployment phase (1994 to 1998) - During this phase, daily work management, viz, defining and monitoring key processes, ensuring that they met set targets, detecting abnormalities and preventing their recurrence, were strengthened. Continuous improvement in all aspects of work, using total employee involvement, became the norm.
