Additional Information

Context/Environment

PMD shift operations aiming to achieve the specified targets utilizing & embedding IWS philosophy. The factory operates in continuous running, i.e., 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 350 days a year except for festival holidays. With induction of highly sophisticated machinery, skill enhancement is the main challenge on shop floor which may affect delivery, Quality and Cost targets.
Shifts are manned by both skilled and semi-skilled workforce represented by a CBA. The relatively low worker education base and the local unemployment scenario pose multiple challenges considering the influx of new technology which necessitates job rationalizations. The volatile unionized environment in the adjoining area coupled with the high unemployment factor make it all the more challenging to continuously improve productivity and job rationalizations which are an integral part of our on-going technology improvement footprint. Furthermore, in the absence of a ‘Performance’ based worker remuneration system, alternate motivational means are used. Continuous training and skill gap analysis is requiring to bridge the skill gap. (Technical training, On job training, softer aspects training etc)\
