Due Diligence:  Due diligence of their product mix, complaints, new product portfolio was done. Value stream maps for all existing products were set up. A site for the start-up R&D was identified.

Business processes dealing with recruitment, employee engagement, material/ machine procurement, compliance and general QMS, IPM, regulatory, product development, distribution and logistics were re-engineered.  Kaizen was installed across the organization to maintain culture of quality and continuous improvement.

International marketing business processes were also set up enroute as the company added ‘exports to Netherlands, CIS, GCC and ASEAN countries’ to its corporate goals. Hence, course-correction was done appropriately, successfully.
