TCC-CIMET’s TTPU Meets Director-General to Strengthen Production Efficiency

The Technology Transfer and Product Unit (TTPU) of the TCC International Centre for Innovation, Manufacturing, Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship (TCC-CIMET) has met with the Director-General, Prof. Francis Davis, to deliberate on strategies aimed at improving the Unit’s production efficiency and operational performance.

The meeting focused on strengthening workflow systems, enhancing fabrication processes, optimizing equipment utilization, and improving quality control standards within the Unit. Discussions also explored ways to scale prototype development, streamline product turnaround times, and deepen industry responsiveness.

In his remarks, Prof. Davis urged the staff of the Unit to uphold high professional standards, embrace innovation in their production processes, improve teamwork and coordination, and remain committed to delivering timely, high-quality outputs. He further encouraged continuous skills upgrading, strict adherence to safety protocols, and a results-oriented approach that positions TTPU as a model production and technology transfer hub within the Suame industrial enclave.

As the production wing of TCC-CIMET, TTPU is central to translating research into practical, market-ready solutions through prototype development, product fabrication, applied research, industrial testing, and technical support for SMEs and engineering enterprises.

There were also discussions on the upcoming World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development, with particular emphasis on tailored programs for artisans in Obuasi and Suame Magazine. The proposed activities aim to promote practical engineering knowledge, innovation awareness, and capacity development among local artisans, further strengthening collaboration between formal engineering institutions and Ghana’s vibrant informal industrial sector.

The engagement reaffirmed management’s commitment to continuous improvement, innovation excellence, and strengthening TTPU’s impact in advancing applied manufacturing and enterprise development.
