Pathway to Make in India

Abstract

“Make in India” is an epoch-making wake-up call for us. We hardly have any product to satisfy even our indigenous customers. Analysing our existing situation would reveal our Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Whilst, we are strong in our natural resources and manpower, we lack in; updated technology, work environment and managing capabilities. In production, we need to adopt the latest technologies by way of JVs and by inviting the bests in the world. Primarily, there need to be ‘Customer Focus’. TQM should be embraced through Quality Circles. Various techniques like; 5‘S’, JIT, Lean and Agile manufacturing etc. and 100% Employee Participation, Digitalising Operations, efficient SCM and E-Marketing are necessary. Organisational ownerships should rest with Employees as well to get maximum productivity. Infrastructure, Government Regulations and Work Environment must be very congenial. Everyone, from Owners/Partners to Customers, Employees, Vendors and the Society should become a clear Winner in the process
