Transformation
We execute Gauteng’s T.M.R mandate by directly intervening small black industrialists by physically transforming the layout and business model of their organisations.
Layout transformation
We transform the layout of the organisation to radically improve its efficiency, safety and productivity through the introduction of lean manufacturing principles, introduction of equipment and Standard operating Procedures.
Business model transformation
We equip black technical industrialists with Lean corporate management capabilities with the aim of mobilising and directing them towards an efficient and productive business culture.
Modernisation
The automotive industry has been identified by the government to have the potential to address the Twin Policy Imperative of creating decent employment and greater economic inclusion.
We promote new SMMEs and township enterprises in the automotive and technical manufacturing sector.
We generate, modernise and innovate lean manufacturing procedures that not only increase productivity, but also modernises the technical manufacturing sector.
Re-Industrialisation
We participate in the economic and social process of organizing national resources to re-establish industries to be more inclusive and accessible to young black industrialists. The process proceeds as a result of a need to re-invigorate and re-allocate national economies.
