Why Indian manufacturing is yet to become world-class

It is not only the labour lawas alone that are the stumbling blocks in achieving quality. Uncertainty of Power, the quality of raw materials, skill of the workmen, the knowledge and understanding of owners and senior officers are the main hurdles. The Government should ensure continuity of power as most of the continuous processes need continuous power. One interruption means 2-20 % process waste, depending upon the process. The substandard generated during the interruption is normally sold at reduced cost or refined and mixed with the main product. Overloading the machines and shortcuts, directed by the owners / senior officers from time to time lead to almost. These persons are responsible not only for the poor quality of the product but also for creating hazardous conditions by taking shortcuts and poor maintenance of the plant and machinery. Every one needs cheap labour, though the cost contribution due to labour in the product is usually the lowest. You employ cheap labour and after picking up the skill, the labour vanishes. You would have noticed that the units started and managed by the technocrats are more successful than the units managed by finance or commercial people.

that is right know one thinks of bull, every body needs of production targets, as by the age working capacity is reducing but does"t says u can fire him ,you have to upgrade and tell and situation of the company.

Every body is concern about this labor, one day u will have no labor then what will happen to the GDP ,have u ever thought , in India u pay less to labors and give more to executive who's output is less, they can negotiate for there salary but labour can't, why labours are not given more salary then executives as they are the backbone of your company, now a days every body wants white color job one day labour class will be vanish then GDP will be not there to calculate,in America labours have become CMDs of company because they knows how to fine diamond from stone,here stones are there but no one to polish it to make diamonds,that is why they are ahead of us . British left india 63 years back we are still using there system of work and how to carry work,we do not have our own system or laws because all systems/laws are copy pastes,that is going on till date will carry on .

the labor laws in India are the real threat to india next to corruption.while the workers in organised sector are ( the worst are in the govt sector)pampered ,the workers in the unorganised sector are badly exploited.the minimum wages are mostly on paper and compliant officials make the exploitation beyond the law.the management principles swing from compliance at one end to exploitation at the other.

The labour laws in our country are indeed due for a change to match the needs of the current manufacturing enviornment of our country. It is not about wages and the facilities available to the workforce but todays manufacturing industry would like to pay wages commensurate with the skill set a worker possesses. The catagories of the wages prescribed in the various manuals defines the catagory but not the work out put that may expected from the worker. Another very important quality that is desired in a productive worker is DECIPLIN, this unfortunately is totally lacking in most of the blue collared workers. a manufacturer hires a worker out of need and his free will, he should logically then be allowed to fire the worker who does not yeild the desired work out put. WHEN ONE CAN HIRE THEN WHY CAN'T ONE FIRE ALSO?
Most often than not labour unions are formed under political patronage, they serve the political bosses and are exploited by the politicians for the benifit of the political leaders. This too must stop by having the labour commissioners who are answerable and responsible to safe guard the interest of the workers but MUST ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT THE PRODUCTION TARGETS ARE MET WITH.
The laws must be ammended to deal with labour rights and production targets. Let the law work as the bullock cart driver who nudges the bullock to keep moving till the destination is reached, he does provide the required food ,water and shelter to the bull that pulls the cart.
