Acropolis strongly believes in supporting classroom teachings with  industry practices. Keeping up with the commitment to provide the  latest state of art education to our students , the institutes often complements  classroom teaching with industry  tours. In line with the same, an industrial visit had been organized for the students of MBA (Sem I and Sem III- Operation Stream) to Gajra Differential  Gears. Gajra Differential Gears manufactures a wide range of Crown Wheel and Pinions, Bevel Gears, Bevel Pinions, Spider Kit Assemblies and Differential Cages and Housings. The company has a self-contained setup with modern equipment, a competent R&D team, trained manpower, and in-house manufacturing of cutting tools, jigs and fixtures.

During the visit, the students were  very eager and excited  to know  about the  various production processes and facilities in a batch type production system. They  could see the work flow, machinery, material handling equipments  and the layout of the place and realized how these are interrelated. In any shop floor , the real challenge is to increase  utilization of resources and optimize their use. The  students witnessed many such challenges of the shop floor and  construed the need  and importance for operations management.

The visit had been organised by Prof Juhi Kamakoty under the aegis of Kaizen club.
