TKM Introduces ‘Restart Manual’ To Resume Business Operations Post Lockdown

Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has devised a comprehensive ‘Restart Manual’ as a guide for industries to follow post the lockdown withdrawal.

TKM’s Restart Manual is an all-inclusive guide for reorganizing and safely resuming business operations to near normalcy after the lockdown is lifted. This initiative will aid the Government, stakeholders and the community at large by creating detailed reference documents for the industries to safeguard and ensure the health, well-being, and safety of all their employees thereby also enriching the lives of the communities. TKM has already shared the Restart Manual with not just Toyota suppliers but also with ACMA, other suppliers in the industry and is planning to share this manual with other industry players as well, said the company. 

Sharing his thoughts on this one-of-a-kind initiative, Masakazu Yoshimura, Managing Director, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “ Post COVID-19, we will witness a new normal and change will be inevitable. We must adapt and remember that change is always for the better and can herald tremendous progress. We need to stop jobs that do not fit the needs, change procedures or the way we work and continue to navigate in these turbulent times. Let us work together as “One Team, One Goal” with greater speed and intensity.”

Appreciating the Restart Manual, Deepak Jain, President, Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) said, “At the outset of this initiative, we would like to thank the TKM management for bringing out a very valuable and pertinent ‘Restart Manual'. Needless to say that this manual is reflective of the very humane and caring culture at Toyota. The safety measures to be adopted at each function are indeed very well described and explained through appropriate graphics. We are confident that this manual would be of immense value to all ACMA members in ensuring that we have a safe, secure and sustainable restart post the lockdown. Further, we are also very grateful to Toyota for allowing us to use this manual as a reference guide for all ACMA members.”
