Visionary Small and Medium Enterprises (VSME)
Published On: 4th January, 2018
A joint initiative of CII and ANAND since 2009, VSME has helped institutionalise globally-best practices into the ANAND Heijunka Production System (AHPS). A dedicated ANAND team is guided by Japanese experts Prof. Shoji Shiba and Mr. Takeyuki Furuhashi to partner ANAND suppliers in implementing best-in-class manufacturing practices. Some leading OEMs have also begun to follow the VSME principles, institutionalising the concept of partnership-based supply chains.
