24 Feb 2021 - New Delhi - Toshiba Transmission & Distribution Systems
(India) Pvt. Ltd., (TTDI), a Toshiba Group company located in Telangana, India that
manufactures and sells distribution transformers, power transformers and
switchgears, along with EPC business, has been certified by Japan's Ministry of
Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) as a Japan-India Institute for Manufacturing
(JIM).
The JIM Project is a part of the Manufacturing Skill Transfer Promotion Program*1,
a joint program by METI and India's Ministry of Skill Development and
Entrepreneurship launched in November 2016. The project aims to establish
Japanese-style institutes in India for training Japanese standard shop floor leaders
and engineers, focusing on areas such as kaizen and the 5S (sort, set in order, shine,
standardize and sustain). These institutes will develop human resources that will
play central roles in the manufacturing sites of the future.
Since last year, TTDI has been providing fundamental skill training to newly hired
personnel and multi-skill training to existing employees at its human resource
development facility, the TTDI Skill Development Center. In recognition of its
efforts, METI has certified it as a JIM, and from April 2021, TTDI JIM will be
inaugurated in the TTDI Skill Development Center, the 15th accredited Japan-India
Institute for Manufacturing.
The new TTDI JIM will accept up to 120 under-graduates of local industrial training
schools as technical trainees each year. They will receive training regarding
welding, coil winding, assembly, painting, and more.
Mr. Tomohiko Okada, Managing Director, Toshiba India Pvt. Ltd. commented,
"Toshiba has identified India as a global manufacturing base and export hub. We
are committed to support Government's initiatives, "Make in India" & "Skill India"
and the setting up of TTDI JIM is a very positive step in that direction, to build a
better and stronger India, For a New Day".
Mr. Hiroshi Kaneta, Chairman and Managing Director of TTDI, said, "We are very
proud of this accreditation. Through TTDI JIM, we wish to contribute to the
development of the manufacturing industry by developing human resources in
India. We are grateful to the Government of Telangana for their support in our
endeavour."
TTDI will further enhance its environmental, social and governance (ESG)
activities based on the Toshiba Group's management philosophy of "Committed to
People, Committed to the Future," and will help tackle social issues and challenges
such as achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through its
technologies and business activities.
*1: This program was created to contribute to India's goals of "Make-In-India" and "Skill India" for the
Indian manufacturing sector, which is expected to achieve medium- and long-term economic growth.
