Q2. Gujarats emergence as an auto hub is a positive for the economy Saturday, 17
September 2011 - 8:00am IST | Place: Mumbai | Agency: DNA
Several domestic and foreign auto manufacturers have either announced plans to establish
manufacturing plants in Gujarat or are considering it as a possible location. Those
establishing the plants include the US-based Ford Motor and PSA Peugeot Citroen from
France, joining Indias Tata Motors, General Motors of US, Bombardier of Canada and
Asia Motor Works (AMW), a heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer. Auto ancillary hubs,
which are critical for a thriving auto hub, are located in Rajkot, Ahmedabad and
Vadodara, and more to come in Kutch and Sanand districts. A precision engineering park
is planned to come up in Dahej.
Domestic companies that are considering to enter Gujarat, with the exception of Maruti
Suzuki, include Hero MotorCorp (formerly Hero Honda), Bajaj Auto and Hindustan
Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), a public sector company specialising in production of aircraft and
helicopters. (Recently Maruti
Gujarats auto hub thus goes beyond the production of cars. The mix of domestic and
foreign auto companies also provides opportunities for skills transfer and learning.
Total installed capacity of Tamil Nadu, mainly around Chennai, is 1.28 million units, and is
among the top 10 centres globally for car manufacturing, while that of Maharashtra,
mainly around Pune, is 0.61 million units. With the entry of Ford and Peugeot, Gujarats
production capacity, mainly around Sanand, is projected at 0.76 million by 2014. This will
rise significantly if Marutis production, largely for export, comes on stream.
Gujarats currently established but relatively mid-sized auto ancillary units are getting a
boost from these automakers, referred to as OE (original equipment) procedures, asking
their tier I, II and III vendors to locate manufacturing and assembly facilities in and
around their main production sites. Tata, for example, is encouraging and facilitating key
vendors to locate to Sanand and set up a facility within a reasonable time horizon.
Gujarats emergence as an auto hub is not an accident, but an outcome of leveraging its
strengths through sound economic policies and competent management by the state
government.
Gujarat has leveraged its locational advantages, with relatively low transaction costs for
accessing markets in the western and northern India. Good rail connectivity is slated to
improve significantly with the opening of the dedicated freight corridors to Dahej and
Nhava Sheva passing through large parts of Gujarat. Sanand is also a part of the DelhiMumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), a multi-billion dollar India-Japan initiative. The
Delhi-Mumbai freight corridor project will provide excellent rail connectivity for the auto
sector in Sanand and for other industries.
Gujarats port development initiatives are closely coordinated with rail transport. These
provide access for exports to the West, a favoured market for Indian OE. Since 2009,
Maruti has been shipping cars by rail from Manesar to the Mundra Port, where there is a
roll-on-roll-off (RORO), terminal for receiving and prepping new cars for exports. Korean
automakers are also exploring this option.
Gujarats port development also could permit economical transportation to other off, thus
diversifying transport modes.
Developing domestic and international financial services, improving road and air
connectivity and focusing on affordable housing and other amenities could further add to
Gujarats locational advantage.
One of the advantages of Gujarat is the larger share of non-fertile agricultural land. This
potentially makes managing the requirements of industry for land easier. Gujarat
Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) deserves credit for turning the above
potential into actual accomplishments.
As many of the established tier I, II and III manufacturers in Tamil Nadu and Delhi are
faced with space and environmental constraints in expanding their operations in their
historic sites, they are exploring alternate avenues. Gujarats land bank could thus be an
attractive factor.
Sanand is a part of special investment region, which permits firms investing there to avail
various fiscal and non-fiscal benefits, reducing project costs, including time for completing
the project cycle.
The Gujarat government recognises the importance of overall conducive investment
environment in attracting investments rather than merely relying on tax incentives. This
policy lesson is applicable to the investment and manufacturing zones (NIMZs) under the
national manufacturing policy (NMP) which is being finalised. It envisages around five
greenfield integrated industrial townships.
Another noteworthy policy initiative is establishment of an automotive skills development
institute at Sanand on a public private partnership basis by Gujarat government and
Peugeot Citroen. This approach to human capital development will serve, India, Gujarat
and the new entrants well as they will have access to a younger work force, well trained in
modern manufacturing techniques with skills honed around the productivity needs of the
future.
There are several reasons why Gujarats emergence as an auto hub is a positive for Indias
economy. First, the auto sector is a mother industry and for every direct job in the OE,
minimum 5-7 indirect jobs are created in tier I, II and III, not including jobs for drivers,
service station attendants and mechanics that form a well paying proposition for many
relatively less skilled, but aspirational Indians.
Secondly, importance of transport equipment, which includes all types of motorised
vehicles, in Indias trade has been increasing. Its share in Indias exports rose from 2.3% in
2000-01 to 7.8% in April-February 2010-11; while the corresponding share for imports soar
from 1.4% to 2.5%. The emergence of Gujarat as an auto hub is expected to assist in
Indias external trade in transport equipment as exports are likely to constitute a
significant proportion of autosectors output from Gujarat.
Many European OE are building their design and engineering back offices in India,
providing job opportunities for the design, hardware and software engineers. This will help
India to develop a niche position globally and diversify its export basket.
Thirdly, healthy competition among auto hubs in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat
will be a positive for the manufacturing productivity. This is because such competition will
mitigate against complacency by each of them and contain costs.
Finally, it would assist India in progressing towards the goal of increasing the share of
manufacturing in GDP from 16% in 2010 to 25% by 2022. It could also assist in Indias
international competitiveness in manufacturing as PTAs (preferential trade agreements)
with economic partners with strong manufacturing sectors, such as China, Japan, and
Korea, are implemented.

Q4. Six Sigma In Healthcare
Published: Jun 12 2004, 00:00 IST
Written by Mr. Gopal Kulkarni, Master Black Belt - Six Sigma and Founder & Managing Director,
Synagoge Knowledge Services Six Sigma is a powerful problem solving technique that helps in
reducing variation in any process by using powerful statistical tools for analysis. Six sigma has been
successfully used by various organizations as an enabler for business strategies leading to huge
additions in their yearly turnover and at the same time improving customer satisfaction by
quantum leaps. This article describes how this methodology can be used in hospitals to enhance
customer care activities and reduce wastage to improve the bottom line.
Healthcare In India
A huge percentage of the expenditure in the healthcare segment is borne by the government sector.
A large chunk of money spend on healthcare by private organizations is limited to urban areas.
There is a growth in investment from private organizations in the tertiary healthcare sector. They
provide for the multi-specialty hospitals and super specialty hospitals. A large part of the
government funds go into primary healthcare and the rest goes into the upkeep of large hospitals.
When we consider the large hospitals (private or government) there is increasing pressure on the
organization to better their performance in customer care and at the same time suffer huge price
pressures because of the increasing influence of insurance in healthcare. Rapidly changing
technologies, escalating manpower costs, increased regulations and consumer activism leads to
further pressures to reduce costs and enhance productivity and ROI.
How does six sigma help? Let us take an example of a patient undergoing a diagnostic examination.
The process steps for the diagnostic examination would be: Let us look at this process from two
angles: One from the customers (patient) point of view and another from the hospitals point of
view.
From a patients angle his need would be that of a defect free report in the shortest possible time.
He would also expect reasonable charges for the service, comfortable environment and a courteous
staff. From the hospitals angle, the need would be to maximize the number of patients attended to
within an available time period so as to minimize the cost of examination and ensure customer
loyalty.
Given these two needs you will find that the goals of both the hospital and the patient are one and
the same. If the hospital is able to minimize the time for turnaround, it can maximize the number of
examinations and utilize its diagnostic equipment to the fullest.
This is where six sigma can help. It can reduce the variation in the time taken for a particular
process.
For example, let us try to reduce the variation in the time taken for a diagnostic scan. The time
taken is defined as the time period from when the patient enters the hospital / clinic to the time he
gets the report. When data of this time is collected over a period of time, it can be represented by a
normal distribution curve as shown below. As the curve becomes flatter, the variation is higher. Let
us assume that the mean time is 4 hours and standard deviation (a measure of variation) 1 hour.
Going by the characteristics of the normal curve it would mean that 99.73% of the patients get
their reports between one and seven hours. If the standard deviation is reduced by half it would
mean that the same process can give an output within 2.5 to 5.5 hrs.
How does one go about reducing the variation or even the mean? The output (time taken for
scanning) can be represented in a mathematical form:
Y is the output and the Xs are the variables affecting the output. The power of six sigma lies in
identifying those X variables that have the maximum impact on the variation and also those Xs
that have the maximum impac on the mean time. Using tools like hypothesis testing, simulation
design of experiments etc, we can arrive at the critical Xs. When we control these Xs, we can reach
our goal of minimizing the time taken for scanning.
What benefits does the hospital derive from this?
Reduced output time, leading to better utilization of time
Higher productivity, savings on manpower cost per patient
Improved cycle time, leading to customer satisfaction and more loyalty
We can replace the diagnostic time by any other parameter like: Reduced pharma inventories,
Reduction in discharge time, Price realization, Cost/bed, Bed utilization, Plugging revenue leakage,
Asset utilization and Reducing patient queues.
Improvements
Six Sigma methodology can still be applied to improve these parameters. The robustness and
foolproof data collection needed for the application of Six sigma in services is achieved by the
increased use of information technology. Although, the solution itself is derived from the six sigma
process the use of IT in the method ensures consistency and reduction in variation.
In conclusion it can be said that the absence of a physical product as in the healthcare sector does
not stop or limit the usage of this excellent tool that can streamline your business and increase the
turnover. All that is required would be rigorous data collectionand data based decision making.

Q5. Case Study: Planning and Scheduling at John Smith Pvt .Ltd
John Smith is a manufacturing organisation of apparels and accessories, specialising in both men
and women segments. The organisation started in the US and gradually extended its different
branches and merchandise to other nations as well. The organisation was not only favoured by
customers but was also loved by its employees for the work environment it provided. Employees
were not only paid well but were also provided good appraisals that motivated them to give their
best to the organisation.
Current planner Mr. Jackson had been working with the organisation for the past 15 years and
now wanted to take retirement from his work due to his age. The organisation bid him farewell and
Mr.Max was hired as the new planner for the organisation on the basis of his qualifications and
experience. After Mr. Max completed 1 year, the organisation observed dissatisfaction
Among its employees. The reason was that employees were not happy with the way production was
carried out. There was too much pressure on employees, and Mr. Max was accepting more orders
than the workers could manage.
This was demotivating workers and employees, and as a result , the company observed the highest
attrition rate in its history. The management immediately reacted to the situation and called back
Mr. Jackson as an external planning consultant to address the issue at the earliest,
Because management was losing its manpower, which was affecting the business.
Mr. Jackson paid a visit to the organisation and studied the records for the past 1 year. He also
Had a discussion with the new planner, Mr. Max, for the current appraisal system. On the basis of
his observations and discussions, Mr. Jackson made certain conclusions. He stated that Mr. Max
was not following the appropriate production process, because the number of orders accepted for
production was more than the resources available at the production unit. He also stated that the
problem was not completely Mr. Maxs fault, because the organisation did not train him on the
existing production process and neither did they make him aware of the competitors and the
market.
Question
