“COSMOS MACHINE TOOLS” Scripting the story of faster growth in 30 years of partnership with trust philosophy

Cosmos Philosophy

As a philosophy, the company believes in making a significant difference to its customers as strongly believes that “if the Philosophy is right, the Product has to be Right.

The FAILURE of the COMPANY typically does not come from the COMPETITORS, but ITSELF. To further stressed, how IMPORTANT it is to put in place a CULTURE in the company to RESIST such failure by CHALLENGING ITSELF –  all the time, through CONSTANT INNOVATION.

“When the RATE of CHANGE OUTSIDE the organization exceeds, the rate of CHANGE INSIDE , THE END IS IN SIGHT”.

Make sure the CHANGES WITHIN the ORGANISATION OUTPACED the CHANGES OUTSIDE.
Whatsoever good products we have… if basic philosophy and culture is not in place…. the company has no long future.

It is the toughest part for any industry leader to demonstrate and set such examples. ..!!!
“At Cosmos, our philosophy is to partner our customers in their progress. We always look at the requirements from the chair of our customers. We first understand their needs before developing the product,”

COSMOS GROUP :

Established in 1987 with a vision to deliver excellence in the machine tool industry, Cosmos Machine Tools today is a renowned group that has interests in the field of manufacturing and marketing of CNC Machine Tools, Machine Tool Accessories and Precision Components.

With the TIME and Pace of Market maturity and Demand, COSMOS kept adding the Business Verticals under ONE ROOF.

MAKE IN INDIA Benefits :

Asked her view about Make in India concept, Ms. Khambhaita said the concept is wonderful and there is lot more to be done on this front. “The Central government is doing an excellent job but it should ease certain rules and regulations to boost Exports which will make the campaign a huge success,” she said and added that at Cosmos, it’s only about quality and consistency. “We have 65% ratio of repeat orders which is a huge success, and keeps us motivated.

Sharing her vision for the company, she said, “We are machine tool passionate people and understand the current as well as future needs. Make in India concept will surely benefit us but it is not  the only thing on which we rely on. Quality of machines has to go up further. We will adopt all international processes to bring in sustainable growth at Cosmos.”

“There is a very big gap between Indian and global machine tool manufacturers. The difference is because of difference in culture and mindset and we know we can’t bridge this huge Gap on our own, so we are taking external help of International quality experts, so that we can match the global standards, to rip the benefits of MAKE IN INDIA at later stage” said Ms. Khambhaita

Our Assembly Line

Price Sensitive Indian Customer Segment
Ms. Khambhaita said Indian market is definitely price sensitive. “But, its up to the seller’s company Vision and Philosophy. India, as developing country,  is one of the highest importer of high quality machine tools, which means there is a customer segment to buy good quality products. If we compare it with the pyramid, then the lower most layer is highly price sensitive while the upper layer want value for money with quality and reliability,” she said.

VENDORS NURTURING is the Key for Consistent Quality :

I am surprised to see one common factor in all vendors feedback …. “MOST OF THE MTB’S ARE NOT PAYING ON TIME” remark and delayed above 6 to 8+ months  and they end up absorbing all Interest which essentially should be on MTB’S Shoulders.

Actually it is a story of Chicken and egg.  So with this culture of MTB’S of not supporting vendors to Grow strong,  the Vendors do not prosper and become healthy for bringing up their parts quality and advance system deployments to bring world class feel with the time.  Some vendors even shared with deep pain that MTB’S are doing Big Exhibitions like IMTEX but actually all these are vendors money used by MTB’S and everytime 6 to 8 months delay cycle is a historic fact.

Now in this cycle … Can INDIAN MTB have the professional and quality committed vendors like in Taiwan or Japan… who actually are the success behind the RELIABILITY AND QUALITY BRAND FACTORS OF THEIR MACHINE TOOLS.

There is a basic system fault what I am seeing it… until we all power up our Vendors. … NO MACHINE TOOL COMPANY CAN BRING UP THE QUALITY OF MACHINE TOOLS TO AN INTERNATIONAL LEVEL.

Just go back 30 years and if we all study the TAIWAN / KOREA AND INDIA all were nearly in the same band of MACHINE TOOL ERA. ( +/- 20% MAX )

This Dream come true reality of INTERNATIONAL QUALITY can happen only by Nurturing Quality Vendors, to build a Mega MTB BRAND together.

THE FOUNDATION OF BRAND IS IN THE PRODUCT QUALITY AND THAT TO CONSISTENT QUALITY WITH FIT AND FINISH TO MATCH INTERNATIONAL BUYERS EXPECTATIONS. …!!! and I strongly feel that it has to be felt at every Vendors “VISION AND QUALITY POLICY CULTURE” to reach this heights.

“VISION 2020,

COSMOS will be setting up a state of the art manufacturing facilities to bridge the wide gap of Indian and International MTB’S in terms of high reliability, quality, consistent performance and will be offering Machine Tools which can support achieving better accuracies and surface finishing results on customers end products, at par of International machines, and this will give them an edge over, to compete better in International and export market”
