Samsung to step up production of CTVs

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, JAN. 25. Samsung India has undertaken a multi-pronged exercise to increase productivity at its India plant located at Noida.

This will help Samsung target production of eight lakh CTVs in the current year against six lakh units last year.

The company is sending its key employees from production, engineering and quality departments to Malaysia for a five-month training programme for the purpose.

In addition to initiating the ``six sigma implementation programme,'' Samsung is also conducting another exercise at its Noida plant to achieve daily productivity of 63 sets per employee that will translate into 4,000 CTV sets a day.

Samsung India is the first overseas Samsung subsidiary outside Korea to be installing a TGV Line for CTV production. It is investing $2 million towards the installation of this high seed, high quality production Line.

Productivity improvement entails both hardware improvement as well as improving the skills of operators through training.

Samsung India has achieved the distinction of producing one million CTVs in India and is now geared up to achieve the two million mark by mid-2001.
