Publisher’s Note

Dear Readers,

In the rapidly changing environment we live in, things that were once considered sacrosanct are becoming obsolete. Big brands who were market leaders earlier have seen their share dip sharply due to their resistance to change.

Productivity improvements in industries are a necessary step to remain competitive. These changes, when made to happen continually, lead to cost savings and manufacturing excellence. It is always a great practice to constantly learn, see, understand, and inculcate what are considered best practices in day-to-day schedules.

In this context, we must keep an eye on Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association’s (IMTMA) National Productivity Summit (NPS), scheduled from December 2 – 3, 2024, in Pune where the best case studies will be presented by leading industries. NPS is an opportunity to gain insight into productivity improvements.

After the summit, IMTEX 2025, along with Tooltech and Digital Manufacturing 2025, will be underway from January 23 – 29, 2025. IMTEX is a platform for industry professionals to get acquainted with the latest innovations that are even accessible to MSMEs, making it an unmissable event.

In this edition of Modern Manufacturing India (MMI magazine), we bring to our readers some of the top picks from the manufacturing world. The issue also has an opinion piece from IMTMA on advancements in metal cutting.

Finally, I welcome our readers to send their views, suggestions, and concerns which will help us understand your needs better. We would love to hear from you.

Wishing you a joyful reading experience with the November-December 2024 issue of MMI.
