Draft Detailed Project Report

Technology Centre Systems Program – Draft DPR for New TC at Rohtak
► The main managerial manpower requirements of these companies are engineering (B. Tech
engineering/ diploma engineering and tooling engineering) with project management skills
and manpower handling skills. The machine operators are generally ITI graduates in the
respective field of manufacturing.
► Approximately 20% of the companies face human resource problems w.r.t. project
management skills, leadership and motivational skills, manpower management skills, less
availability of workforce, disciplinary issues and industrial training.
Further similar kinds of inferences were also observed during telephonic discussion with 19
players 17 across the country in Hyderabad, Karnataka, Chennai, Aurangabad and Ahmedabad w.r.t.
support requirements of these players for designing, training, manufacturing and consultancy carried
on. There is a need to position the MSME tool rooms to support the commercial tool rooms to
strengthen their design capabilities and capacity to manufacture complex tools. Further, there is also
a need to create more awareness of new technologies and opportunities among private tool rooms
to enable them to serve that market.
Key challenges faced by players:
a. At the industry level
► Absence of or limited automation in the manufacturing process in India;
Leads to low machine utilisation of around 50-55% on an average (best in India is
around 70-75%) compared to 95-99% abroad in China where a single operator
manages 5-6 machines.
Main reason is lack of knowledge/ awareness of low cost automation technologies.
► Lack of standardisation
Limited or very small number of standardised components for mould design in India
cause delay in the production process. For every mould to be developed, designing is
done from scratch to finish. In China & Malaysia the standardised component usage is
very high and therefore concentration is more on core & cavity design of the mould
resulting in better quality and faster production
Use of Standardised components helps to deliver moulds in 1 week in China compared
to 4 weeks required in India.
► Lack of availability of skilled workers& high attrition/ job hopping, shortage of trained
manpower at machine operator level.
► Low capacity and lack of capability to develop heavy and precision machines requiring a
high proportion of the CNC machines to be imported (2/3rd of the total CNC machines)
mainly because of the capital intensive nature of investment.
► Others
