Q1. People's productivity key to Indian manufacturing competitiveness: Boston Consulting Group
Namrata Singh, TNN | Mar 14, 2013, 09.34PM IST
MUMBAI: People productivity is the key to Indian manufacturing competitiveness, says a report by the Boston
Consulting Group (BCG). In most global people productivity surveys, not only does people productivity of
Indian manufacturing sector lags developed nations such as US and Japan, but also lags in most manufacturing
sectors to China. While earlier, many explained this to differences in technology, level of automation, etc., the
report suggests such differences are not only rapidly shrinking, but they do not fully explain the significant gaps
in productivity that exists.
Skill gap and engagement gap are the two critical factors that explain lower people productivity. Under gap in
skill, Indian manufacturing sector faces significant challenges in attracting quality manpower that is 'right'
skilled prior to entering the workforce. In addition, continuous skill development efforts are required for the
work force, throughout their careers, as processes and technologies evolve.
On the other hand, many manufacturing studies have indicated a direct correlation between workforce
engagement and productivity. For most Indian manufacturing companies, the level of engagement and alignment
with corporate vision, amongst their union work force and contract labour is extremely low, when compared to
their global peers.


"An improvement in people productivity can be beneficial across all levels of an organization. At the employee
level, it results in higher wages and enhanced job satisfaction. At company level, the direct correlation between
profits and resource productivity has been established through research multiple times. And at industry level,
increased people productivity leads to improved skills and better working environmentthus paving the way for
higher investments and faster economic growth. Therefore, it is critical for the Indian manufacturing sector to
work toward enhancing people productivity to achieve the goals it has set for itself," the report says.
The subject gains importance in the backdrop of a slowdown in western economic countries and China, as well as
cost increases in China. Indian manufacturing sector stands at the cusp of a tremendous opportunity.
After reading the case study answer the following questions:
a. What do you think are the reasons for low people productivity in India?
b. Compare and analyze Indias productivity with respect to other countries?
c. What suggestions do you offer to improve the situation?
Answer.
Reasons for low productivity in India
Skill gap and engagement gap are the two critical factors that explain lower people productivity. Under gap in skill,
Indian manufacturing sector faces significant challenges in attracting quality manpower that is 'right' skilled prior to
entering the workforce. There are many factors responsible for the low productivity in India. Companies with low levels
