M&M's historic labour agreement  to improve the production practices and boost production


December 23, 1997

Mahindra & Mahindra signed a historic wage agreement with its union at its automotive plant at Kandivali, paving the way for a new work culture. M&M evolved Mahindra Production System (MPS) which is an amalgamation of the latest work measurement techniques and the Toyota Production System.

As a result of the agreenment, the Kandivali plant will now operate on JIT, multi-skilling operations by workmen, single piece flow process, observance of TACT time and flexibility. These new practices  will result in improved quality, significantly higher productivity and reduced costs due to reductions in inventories, rejection rates and optimum utilisation of manpower, machines and floor space.

The new agreement  will cover 5,085 employees of the automotive division in Mumbai.

With this agreement, daily production of vehicles at Kandivali is proposed to be increased from 68 to 150 in stages over six months.
