BOSCH FUTURE AND SCOPE

During the year under review, the Plant has implemented major strategic initiatives such
as personnel restructuring, layout optimization and productivity improvement to optimize
internal processes and inculcate lean manufacturing. In order to strengthen the journey,
the Plant has rolled out a vision statement - We shape the future and a mission
statement - Benchmark Bosch Production System (BPS) Plant which will help in
improving the material and information flow, resulting in elimination of non-value
added activities in the supply chain. This will enable the Plant to become a
Benchmark by 2018 in the Global Bosch group.
Growth in the domestic LCV and MUV markets resulted in high turnover despite
export contraction. The Plant focusing on ''Fit for Future'' programme,
implemented various cost-reduction measures across the value chain.
There were no material changes and commitments between the end of the year
under review and the date of this report, which could have an impact on the
Company''s operation in the future or its status as a going concern.
There are no significant or material orders passed by the Regulators/Courts,
which would impact the ''going concern'' status of the Company and its future
operations.
Our highly specialized associates all over the world work on technological
breakthroughs in fields such as software development, robotics, or engine
management. In this way, new ideas are constantly taking shape that make existing
products even more efficient, more comfortable, safer, and more environment-friendly,
while also opening up entirely new lines of business. Our primary concern is to improve
quality of life.
