My Personal Observations about MHI :

I have had the good fortune of working with Japanese engineers from MHI itself, during my three years of work at L&T Power. The time i spent with them was rich in terms of learning, both technical and cultural.

It was a great experienced which helped me develop both as an engineer and as a manager.

Following are some of the better points of observation that i have made :

• MHI Engineers are masters in their respective work domains.
• MHI factory workmen are experts of their respective workstations.
• High level of discipline in the line of work.
• Innovation & initiatives at the ground level.
• The promotion system in MHI is purely Merit and Performance based.
• Optimal mix of hi-tech and economical manufacturing practices.

Some suggestions on what MHI could do :

• Share the technical expertise of MHI with organisations in other countries through JVs or Technology leasing agreements.
• Promote use of environmentally friendly technology in countries other than Japan where resources are running low.
