Kizhakkambalam,
a prosperous village east of Cochin owes its success partly to a
man who dared to dream differently - C. P. Philipose.
His dream was to find an alternate industrial culture with a humane
face.
Apart from its credo of offering quality
products at realistic prices, the success of Sevana lies in the
pathbreaking adoption of decentralized manufacturing.
Sevana engages over two hundred families
in and around the village where the company is located, to supply
ancillaries, assembled products and ensure product quality at every
stage of manufacturing. Each product thus assembled undergoes a
thorough quality check by the technicians of the company.
The products marketed by the company
are designed by the associate company Sevana Engineering Research
Centre Private Limited.
The Sevana way of decentralized manufacturing
is considered the appropriate model for industrial development in
countries like India where mass production should be achieved by
involving masses and if possible not by expensive manpower eliminating
production techniques. Eminent economists and industrialists consider
this as a suitable model for industrialisation in our part of the
world. |
