Long Term Employment for the Visually Disabled
The activity of hardware packet making for chairs has been outsourced to National Association for Disabled Enterprises (NADE) for the last several years. The objective of this decision was to ensure continued occupation for the visually disabled. The activity began way back in 1996-97, where approximately 8,000 to 10,000 hardware packets of 30 different kinds every month were made by them.
This activity continues till date, with the scope increasing to 40,000 packets of 200 kinds. The type of hardware components has also increased from 20 components then to 75 components now, with the change in business scenario and customer requirements. In a span of about ten years, we got approximately 3 million hardware packets from NADE.
What is amazing is that the defects due to wrong packing was observed to be less then 2000 PPM, which is really a commendable performance by the people working on it.
The activity has also helped us learn that when a process is fool proofed and there is a level of dedication towards it, the output can be excellent.
