Manufacturing Ambassador Scholarship

Applications close 31st of October

Our world class GIBS MBA was designed for individuals who are committed to the development of the African manufacturing sector. We are acutely aware of the complex operating environment facing South African-based manufacturers and acknowledges that many deserving individuals are unable to pursue the GIBS MBA (manufacturing focus) due to financial constraints. In response to this challenge, TWIMS is honoured that we are able to fund up to 20 Manufacturing Ambassador scholarships annually for our 2022 intake. The scholarships will cover up to 70% of student tuition and global module expenses; and all residency costs at TWIMS during block release and exam periods.

Join Khavitha Singh, Toyota Head of Lean Management at TWIMS, as she explores the global value stream within which firms operate and uses real-world examples of how leading firms within complex value streams have successfully supported lean development within their supply and customer bases – for mutual competitiveness benefit.

“The creation of a deep manufacturing culture (“monozukuri” – meaning making things in Japanese) has contributed to the development of Asian economies such as Japan, Thailand and Korea. I believe we need to start building a similarly deep culture of manufacturing in Africa. The development of this culture can transform African society. Africa needs highly skilled engineers and production managers that can lead and manage complex manufacturing businesses.”

– Johan van zyl
