INTRODUCTION
When it comes to providing well-built product the
company's strength lies in its people. They represent a
vast fund of knowledge, experience and creative ideas
resources that meet or create demand in the market.
MEANING OF WCM (World Class Manufacturing)
WCM is an insight into the concept of equipment
ownership, maintenance, visual management and how
these help one in gaining knowledge about the equipments
he is handling, using and operating, maintaining etc.
WCM helps in reducing or eliminate abnormalities
wastes and looses by knowing the tools and techniques
and by identifying them.

WCM is defined as "the process of ultimately gaining
the common goal and achievements of the company by
knowing appropriate ways to keep the environment in the
best possible way to get the best out of the best plants".
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Since the study is an attempt to examine the present
status of WCM program by critically analyzing the concept
of WCM it forms a link between what has been established
and what is being implemented. The scope of the study is
limited only to the management, staff and workers of
Harihar Polyfibres. This study provides a theoretical
framework to understand the basic concepts of WCM.
Since the study, is an attempt to examine the
present status of WCM function by critically analyzing
some of the WCM practices in the unit it forms a link
between what has been established.

The study has taken into account to assess those
efforts that have been taken by Harihar Polyfibre to
achieve WCM standards.
The review of WCM climate seeks to click the
perception of the people and hence reflects their feelings
and attitudes towards the WCM program. This' may be
used to set right the weakness and capitalize on strength.
The analysis and objective feedback can in turn lead
to fruitful action plans to further strengthen the WCM
efforts in the organizations.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. To study and understand the concept of world-class
manufacturing.
2. To study the implementation of WCM in HPF.

3. To study overall effectiveness of WCM and impact of
WCM practices towards changing the mindset, culture
and passion of employees.
4. To study the communication and training through the
WCM practices
5. To highlight the importance of WCM in the context
process industry.
6. To identify the reason for increasing emphasis on
WCM.
METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY
The study is based on survey technique. The study
consists of analysis about WCM at HARIHAR POLYFIBRES.
For the purpose of the study 18 employees were selected,
their views were selected, and their views were solicited on
different parameters.
The methodology adapted includes,

Random samples survey of employees
Discussion with the concerned employees
Personal interviews and informal discussions were
held with some
Employees to ascertain the impact practices of WCM in
the unit.
LIMITATIONS
The study is limited only to Harihar Polyfibres
division only. The other unit [grasilene] could not be
covered due to time constraint. The sample size was
constrained by the time available for the study.
WCM is a vast concept and a relatively new one. It
varies from organization to organization and so it is not
possible to include each aspect.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
There is no field of management that will not benefit
from systematic and purposeful research. The field of
WCM is in great need of systematic knowledge and sound
principles. This is a new area, which has come to this
country after being successfully implemented in western
manufacturing units or sectors.
A separate entity is needed within an organization in
order to align the people towards a common goal that is
unified with the cooperation strategy unless employees
ask new questions they shall not get different results only
the companies that are high on performance as well as
practice can become world class. This is where WCM cell
appears. There is no end to improvement and here WCM is
the next step towards manufacturing excellence.
WCM program represents a unified theory
compromising principles, methods, tools and system that
are applicable to all the manufacturing units. It enables
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
9/107
9
the chief executive officers [CEO's] to induce new thinking
in the employees at all levels.
Many of the organization in order to fulfill their
objectives have instituted various systems and programs.
While constitution and implementation of systems and
program is important, it is also necessary to critically
examine whether these mechanisms are actually fulfilling
objectives.

ORGANASATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The term organization refers to any group of people,
working physically together to achieve a common
objectives. For a group to be termed as organization it has
to fulfill two important conditions,
Quantitative criteria
Qualitative criteria
Quantitative specifies that the number of persons
should be minimum two and qualitative specifies that the
objectives to be achieved should be common and clearly
understood by all groups and they should be geared to
work towards that.
Any organization whether small or big, whether
-

domestic life or commercial enterprise has to achieve two
types of objectives, namely social objectives and economic
objectives.
SOCIAL OBJECTIVES
Social objectives refer to the reputation and image;
the organization has got in the society. This can be termed
as the people factor. These can be satisfied through the
full satisfaction of the customers, suppliers, employees,
neighboring society and government.
Customer except a quality product at a price

society by working in the organization.
It should be pollution free atmosphere with improved
facilities, welfare measures etc to keep the neighborhood
clean and tidy.
By satisfying the social needs the organization can
build a positive image in the location where it is
functioning.
ECONOMIC OBJECTIVES
Economic objective refer to the financial status of the
organization in its effective working. This can be termed as
productivity factor. The returns in terms of profits for the
investments decide the economic stability of the
organization, which is in the control of the management.
For the basic survival and subsequent continuous
growth of the organization, making a good profit becomes

an important need. Even for meeting many of the social
obligations, the organization requires financial stability.
By proper blending of the social and economic
objectives, the organization must maintain a good health,
which becomes very important need for its survival and
growth continuously. The growth of the employees lies in
the growth of the organization in which they are working.

INTRODUCTION
World Class Manufacturing, a relatively new concept
especially in the India Industrial scenario has become the
mantra for the survival in the Industrial sector today. The
unprecedented uncertainly accompanied with a dizzying
rate of changes have paved way to the concept of the
World Class Manufacturing.
What really is WCM?
WCM is a concept of manufacturing in which
products conforming to the World-Class standards are
manufactured at the last possible costs. In other words,
WCM is a unique strategy for enterprise excellence
through focus on manufacturing.
Thus, WCM is an acceptable way of managing
business to gain competitive advantage thereby ensuring
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
23/107
23
long-term success meeting the needs of the customers,
employees, financial and other stakeholders and the
community at the large.
All these definitions reveal that WCM is a long-term
structured approach which is cyclical [plan, do, check,
act-PDCA] comprehensive and systemic and which
involves cultural transformation of the people, process and
results on a continuous basis leading to organizational
change. Better management processes and results on a
continuous basis leading to organizational change. Better
management processes and organizational learning.
WCM strives for zero loss culture coupled with high
standards of quality and productivity. It is basically a
team based management system relying on the,

Introduction
Whether you are establishing a new business or
transforming the existing business into a new one, it
requires certain procedures or methodology to be followed.
Implementation of WCM also follows a specific
methodology to make the organization competitive for
facing the challenges of tomorrow and for achieving the
results. WCM methodology is based on the principles of
Olympics. It broadly comprises of three steps:
Form the teams
Equip the teams and
Visual competition amongst the teams
Step One: Form the teams:
The whole business is divided into small overlapping,
cross-functional, multi skilled, self-competing high
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
29/107
29
performance teams covering all employees. These
operating teams assume ownership of their QCDIP
performance, the teams focus on the eight dimensions of
WCM. For specific major improvements project teams are
also formed, consisting of specialist from different
functions, depending on the need.
Step Two: Equip the teams:
The teams are equipped with mindset and skills in
using all the arms and ammunition of WCM. They are also
trained on the rules of the game in the form of values and
mindset for excellence. Specialized inputs are also
provided through workshop such as JIT, SPC, PM analysis
and other advanced problem solving techniques.
Step Three: Visual Competition amongst the teams
To inspire and bring the best out of the well-
equipped team's competition is necessary. The third step
is creating visual competition amongst the teams for
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
30/107
30
improving the QCDIP score. WCM strives for 100% rating
for each team by their customers external as well as
internal. The factory is first divided into zones with a zone
leader assuming the ownership and responsibility of that
area. The employees in zones are divided into teams of 5
to 20 members; each with a team leader. Each team is
assigned ownership of a specific area with in the zone.
All the employees are included in over lapping
structure and all the areas are covered in this process. A
two-day conference cum workshop is organized to expose
all the employees to the concepts and practices of WCM
and to establish a common language. These educational
programs equip all the employees with the required
concepts, tool and techniques for implementing WCM
systems.
In the final step, the teams become self-motivated, all
round quality focused and customer driven and complete
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
31/107
31
with one another with the killer instinct to inspire
performance.
Benefits through WCM
The entire concept of WCM, adopted on a sustainable
basis can do wonders for the organization. An organization
can encompass the WCM program to promote excellence
in manufacturing as a means of delighting its customers,
employees and other stakeholders on a sustainable basis.
These transformation programs shall lead to be
culture, which is:Based on minimum resource
requirements, be it equipment space or people.
Prudent when it comes to spending money including
buying or hireling external services.
Highly productive with efficiency levels comparable to
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
32/107
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
33/107
33
teams take the ownership of the process and give the best
out of them when they are inspired and through
competition. Each team thus attempts and tries to excel in
terms of quality and quantity cost, delivery, innovations
and intellectual capital, productivity.
This is an ideal work environment including
equipment condition and operating process, which is free
from abnormalities.
Thus, the entire concept of WCM can be
implemented through teams broadly classified as:-
The enablers are those who promote exceptional
performance from the people and the process by
performing the following functions. Establish vision,
mission, policies and strategies.
Facilitate and environment conductive for learning and
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara

innovation. Encourage breakthrough improvements.
Inspire superior all round sustainable performance.
Processes: people and process involve in the key
manufacturing focused areas.
The process is the means by which the organization
harnesses and releases the talent of people to produce
sustainable superior results.
Success: - which are measured through the results of
external and internal satisfaction, social satisfaction
and business results.

WCM MODEL
Eight Dimensions of WCM
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara

36
WCM MODEL
The eight dimension of WCM are, Waste elimination
Work environment
JIT and stock reductions
Equipment effectiveness / total productive maintenance.
Customer delight - internal and external
Quality first: SQM and best practices.
Liaison and understanding
Information systems, technology and cash flow.
1. Waste Elimination
Waste is any element of the manufacturing process
that adds cost without adding value to the product. Waste
not only costs money, it also extends the lead-time for
building the product and delivering it to the customers. It
also keeps the company from doing more productive thing
with its resources. Wastage is a factor eating the profits of
any organization and contributing to environmental
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
37/107
37
pollution.
The competitiveness of an organization depends on
its ability identify and weed out wasteful practices from
across the business as "All the non value adding are
waste". Waste / muda are usually found during.
The time of excess production :- Excess production occur
when companies create products or WIP for which they
don't currently have orders, resulting in wastage of
additional space, payment of wastages for un needed
work, incurring more material handling cost.
In waiting: - Resources remaining idle while waiting for
instructions, tools, materials, power etc. is a waste and
must be avoided.
"Inventory is an evil":- inventory is an accumulation of
products, WIP or materials at any stage of process. Waste
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
38/107
38
in inventory is often a huge source of waste in the
organization. It ties up people, equipment, materials and
energy that could be used for productive work.
In conveyance: - means delay in moving components or
products in process from one place to another or even
people from one place to another, to get things done. Most
operations involve series of delays. Plant layout may make
long distance transportation necessary; they may result in
multiple handling of parts. This can be over overcome by
substantially simplifying the process layout by eliminating
many stages in process as possible.
In motion: - every motion, which is unnecessary means
lost time. The successful approach is to try to eliminate
the need for movement in first place. In work place,
considerable wastage in motion can be eliminated by
organizing the tools, materials etc.
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
39/107
39
In defects: - defects and processing are unnecessary and
expensive. Defects also result in delay somewhere in the
system and create new waste through rework. Elimination
of defects through reliability of strengthens the process
suppliers, materials, operation; equipment may be
practiced for substantial reduction in defects.
Muda also exists in communication, procedure,
unnecessary Processing, untidiness, timing, bottlenecks
etc.
Waste is non-value adding activity so it becomes very
essential to pursue a war-like approach to identify and
eliminate waste. Thus following implementation work is
undertaken:
Formation of sub committee.
Training workshop is conduced.
Replication of workshop for all employees.
Identification of types, of waste in respective work areas
-

40/107
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara

41
linked to achieve displace in manufacturing there should
be perfect co-ordination between these activities. Good
house keeping and work place organization results in
better compliances to schedules, fewer machine
breakdowns, and low defect rates and promote exposure of
problem areas. Besides a clean and healthy work place, it
inspires people to give their best and fills them with pride.
5s aims at establishing an environment, which is,
Eliminates wastes
Promotes wastes
Ensures quality
Is self-sustaining
Improves effectiveness
Prevent breakdowns
Improves safety
Makes an employee feel proud of his work place.
A step-by-step systematic approach of 5s can be
employed for a clean and healthy working environment on
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
42/107
42
a sustainable basis. The principles of 5s are as follows:
1s Seri (sorting):- this step distinguishes necessary
and unnecessary items and elimates the unnecessary
ones in a systematic procedure / manner.
2s seiton (arrangement):- step determines the type of
storage system and lay required for easy accessibility and
retrieval of the necessary items. The mantra of this step is
"A place for everything and everything in its place". Usage
of item coding and location coding along with visual
controls makes it highly effective.
3s sieiso (cleaning):- eliminate dirt, dust and other
foreign matter through periodic cleaning of work place. It
prevents accidents and unexpected failure of equipment.
4s seikestn (standardization) :- creating of systems
and standards covering the entire organization so that the
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
43/107
43
neatness / cleaning is continuously maintained extensive
visual controls form integral part of this step for exposing
abnormalities.
5s shitsuke (discipline):- ensures that everyone
practices 5s religiously. This emphasis on creating a work
place with good habits and self-discipline.
The 5s principles are implemented in the
organization by:
Formation of sub committee.
Training workshop conducted.
Replication of workshop for all employees.
Audits carried out-self-audit and top management
audit.
Competition amongst various teams / zones.
Reorganization and rewards.

3. Just in time and stock reductions:
[supply chain management! lean manufacturing / agile
manufacturing / quick response manufacturing].
In today's competitive world, companies no more
compete based on their product / process or excellence in
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
45/107
45
anyone function but based on the supply chain strength.
The ability to respond with speed requires on organization
to be flexible, adaptable, devoid of bottlenecks, simple
systems and continuous focus on eliminating non-value
added activities. JIT producing desires variety by keeping
costs low quality high and lead-time minimal.
JIT is an approach of management where there is
focus on creating a reliable and responsive supplier -
customer relationship throughout the supply chain. JIT
idea is simple, produce and delivers finished goods just in
time to be sold, sub assemblies and purchase materials
just in time to be transformed into fabricated parts. JIT
focuses on eliminating wastage, enhancing quality and
cutting down scrape, a streamlined plant operations that
raises process yield, a production line balancing approach
and employee involvement and motivated mechanism, JIT
approach means challenge the following :-
Set up time
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
46/107
46
Batch size
Process cycle time
Planning system
Material handling and
All existing practices.
Through time is an important indication of
manufacturing
Effectiveness and organizational responsiveness. JIT
approach focuses on "time compression" to help in
achieving throughout time reduction. The real goal can
only be achieved when JIT is working throughout the
length of the entire supply chain.
Some key activities required for effective
implementation of JIT are,
Manufacturing cycle time: - the non-value adding
activities significantly add to the cycle time. Identifying
-
8/10/2019 Aditya Birla Harihara
47/107
47
and elimination of all the non-value adding activities
should reduce production and delivery lead-time. the ideal
cycle time consists entirely of value added activities.
Application of process mapping is to identify areas that do
not add value but add time, cot and evolve action plans to
eliminate them.
Single minute exchange of die / quick change over
lame: - lots production often means large inventories and
all the problems, wastes and costs associated with them.
JIT manufacturing requires of process items in small lots.
To produce economically in smaller lots, time required for
change over must be reduced. The SMED approach gives a
three stage for shortening set up time.
These three stages are -
Separate internal set-up from external set-up.
Convert internal set-up to external set-up. Streamline all

Enhancing supplier's reliability:- the focus is on
rationalization of suppliers to concentrate on developing
partnership relationship with them. Mutual co-operation
and technical assistance to suppliers helping converting
them to reliable suppliers who can then be as good as co-
makers systems for vendor rating and feed back give the
transparency required to build relationships with the
suppliers.
Delivery management:- an integrated delivery planning
and scheduling system, which links customer
requirements, is necessary for the organization to be able
to deliver without building up unnecessary inventory
across the supply chain. Synchronized manufacturing
based on theory of constraints is advanced production-
scheduling technique, which focus on through put
maximization. An effective deliver management system
works on the pull system throughout the supply chain.
The pull system means everywhere production is in

response to the actual demands from customer and not
anticipated demands.
Improving material flow: by optimizing the layout most
manufacturing process contain so much waste that JIT
can't work until improvements are made process
improvements to eliminate waste often include changes in
the layout. Positioning manufacturing equipment closely
together in the order of the processing steps reduces waste
and improves the flow in several ways placing the
machines for each step; side-by-side eliminates much of
the waste of conveying work-in-progress long distance.
Improving material handling system: - while designing
the material handling system it should be kept in mind
that the shortest distance between two points is a straight
line and at the same time, it should be ensured that there
is no re-handling of materials, parts etc and warehousing
is optimum.

Inventory reduction: - a selective analysis of major items
would help arriving at the minimum levels. A time bound
plan is necessary for decreasing the inventory level in the
organization. As reliability increases, it may be leveraged
by operating with lesser inventories.
The implementation program of J IT is carried on
by:-
Formation of sub committee.
Training workshop is conducted.
Project teams are formed for various projects
identified.
Carryout process mapping for critical processes in
manufacturing and outside and arrive at cycle time.

industries and businesses have been influenced
considerably.
The recent emergence of internet has suddenly made
the entire business revolve against new strategies. Remote
processing has become a reality virtual organization,
team's office, committees have become reality. Technology
has spared no field. Automation is seen everywhere, be it
machinery or simple banking operation.
In protected economies, organizations enjoyed
-

certain amount of shield from technological obsolescence.
In the global economy, such protections are no more
available; one has to compete with world class
organizations that have leading edge technologies in all
parts of the business mighty organizations have collapsed
simply Because they did not keep pace with technology
even in organizations. Where new technology has been
introduced poor or slow absorption has caused collapsed.
Implementing new technology always met with resistance
from management because of high investment, from
employees because of retrenchment or simply a resistance
to change.
