Operational Excellence
Domestic market consumption is increasing
owing to the new market potential in the EV and renewable energy space. Quality, Velocity and Competitive pricing are the key components of MPTE industry and customer expectation. Today, RDMC can boast that it stands as one of the leading Precision Gear Manufacturing Industries in the country for Power Transmissions Equipment. Key industry segment RDMC caters to are Industrial Gearboxes, Off-Highway Equipment, Construction Equipment, Locomotive, Marine Industry, Mining industry, Defence Equipment, Aerospace, Capital goods equipment like Machine tool, Printing, Textile Compressor and so on. RDMC has customers who reach out to them by word of mouth and they believe that RDMC has the ‘right’ solution for them. Helical gears are often used as power transmitting gears, since not only can they carry larger loads because of their lower dynamic load but also their noise and vibration levels in operation are lower compared to those of spur gear. At RDMC, the helical gears manufactured are of high precision and thus having zero backlash.
Understanding customer requirements, addressing and knowing about their pain areas and providing them with a robust solution that best suits their equipment is the central idea around our operations
Nahata states, “RDMC has been in this industry for five decades now and we have learnt the art of listening to the gears. Understanding customer requirements, addressing and knowing about their pain areas and providing them with a robust solution that best suits their equipment is the central idea around our operations. At RDMC, we are constantly learning, evolving and improving with our experience”.
Looking at the Future
RDMC’s turning point was their first export consignment of 100 Gearboxes to the then Russia. It was a huge one and that made the difference and there was no turning back. In 1990, when CNC was just introduced, the company took another leap of faith and upgraded RDMC. Nahata concludes, “Our vision is to see ourselves as the global first-choice manufacturer of critical and high precision gears for gearboxes and transmissions. RDMC’s mission is to produce and deliver zero defect parts on time, every time and exceed customer expectations. We want to give significant returns to all our stake holders and be invested in the communities in which we work".
