JUST IN TIME AND INDIA
Indian Institute of Materials Management (IIMM) is a forum for purchase and materials
related employees and they have frequent meetings, seminars and annual conventions
to share knowledge. In one of their annual conventions the topic was implementation of
JIT for competitive advantages. Leading personalities of the Indian industries talked
lots of positive points and benefits due to the JIT purchase and JIT manufacturing
methods. Many presented calculations and statistics of savings in costs and time and
how it helps in reduce the price of the end products and hence competitive advantage.
Most of the audiences were impressed about the theory and thought of practical
3
application in their respective companies. However, few of the executive participants
were more worried about practice and less interested in idealistic theories. One Mr.
JItendra Joshi of LML’s Bangalore office was impressed. He has been arranging Engine
Block castings, tyre tube sets, machined components, speedometers etc from southern
region to LML, Kanpur Unit. He has 15 years’ of experience in facing lots of problems in
arranging the long distance supplies. He mustered courage to get up and ask few
questions against the JIT and summary of question to Mr. Sudhakar (the speaker) were
as follows: Mr. Joshi said JIT cannot be fully implement able in Indian conditions due to
following genuine constraints.
(a) The inter-state disputes like ‘Kaveri Dispute’, “Border disputes’ at times disturb the
arrangements.
(b) On and off terrorism, political agitations, holidays due to local, regional and national
leaders’ deaths also disturb work environment.
(c) Spread of vendors all over India and vastness of coverage do not enable to know
correct position of WIP of vendors.
(d)Transport bottlenecks, heavy rains, floods (coastal areas), workers’ strikes cause
anxiety and worry.
(e)Partnership problems, financial and quality constraints are not easily attended or
solved.
These questions were like a mini speech on anti JIT and the atmosphere in the
auditorium got charged up Mr. Sudhakar, the speaker, gave half hearted replies to
questions for which Mr. Joshi and his friends were not satisfied. Finally Mr. Sudhakar
said:“The system which operate successfully in Japan may not work equally well in
other countries.” Only when Mr. Joshi took his seat as he felt he has made his clear on
practical problems than merely going through the theory. Suddenly he seems to have
won the admiration of the gathering. Prof. Rao who was chairman of the technical
session gave his concluding remarks. He appreciated the ideology of JIT but advised
executives to take it up step by step and ensure pragmatic views and do not over
depend on JIT to fail. This he told as Indian Industrial Environment is yet to mature to
take care of JIT systems in totality.
Answer the following questions:
a) Highlight the importance of Just in Time in India.
b) Do you agree with Mr. Joshi’s views on constraints to JIT?
c) Write how you feel the JIT systems can be adopted in India.

22.
Air India used to pay more than double the salaries to Expatriate pilots compared to
that of national pilots. In fact national pilots are in no way inferior to expatriate
pilots in skills and in performance, safety, regularity and punctuality. The salary
discrimination was necessitated to attract foreign pilots due to shortage of national
pilots. This practice was along with policies and practices of compensation
management in other public and private organisations in India.
These practices resulted in the dissatisfaction among national pilots that prompted
them to look for opportunities in other countries. The fast growth of airlines industry
in various countries led to shortage of pilots resulting in higher salaries for pilots
across the countries. Majority of the national pilots of Air India who were
dissatisfied with their salaries procured jobs in various airline companies
particularly in the middle-east with triple the salary levels of their previous job.
The migration of Indian pilots reached the peak few years ago and Air India did not
have required number of pilots to operate their flights and had to cancel some of its
domestic flights and delay the operation of international flights.
Consequently, Air India modified its compensation policy and offered equal salary
levels to its national pilots along with that of expatriate pilots to combat the
situation. However, it could not attract those pilots who left the company, but could
halt the further migration of pilots to other companies.
Questions:
1. Do you think the compensation discrimination based on the nationality in
desirable?
2. Why did the management of Air India fail to foresee the situation?
3. Suggest the strategies to prevent such situations in future.

Egghead Software, a Washington based company, enjoyed great success as the
nationwide chain of stores that sold only software. The chain grew to comprise
more than 200 stores, employing thousands of workers and earning millions of
dollars in revenues. Egghead’s success attracts competitors, including mass
merchandisers such as Wall-Mart and CompUSA, who began selling software
at discounted prices. As software prices fell, Egghead was unable to compete
successfully and began suffering operating losses.
Needing a change in direction, Egghead board of directors turned to
George Orban, a longtime Egghead investor with a track record for turning
around failing businesses. Orban, who joined Egghead as chairman and CEO,
believed that the only way to save Egghead was to simplify the business by
closing stores, cutting cost, and better identifying the company’s target market.
He began Egghead’s turnaround with massive cost cutting program that
involved closing more than 70 stores and a distribution center, selling real
estate holdings, and laying off hundreds of employees. The merchandise at
some of the remaining stores was switched to a more profitable product mix
that included computer systems and accessories.
Questions:
1. Would these changes be enough to save Egghead?
2. Whether to close the brick-and-mortar stores and go for another option? If
so, How they can achieve online sales?

Timothy (who works for Blocks Ltd.), and David, (who works for Fones Ltd.), are employed as
production managers. Last night, both of them attended a staff development meeting organised
by a Production Management Institute (a professional body), of which they are members.
During the tea-break, Timothy and David discussed the various leadership styles that they were
following in their respective organisations. Timothy told David that he had a friendly
personality and was optimistic that he will get on well with the workers in the factory. He went
on to say that a total of fifty workers are employed, with 40 of them having been employed with
the business for over 20 years. The others, mostly unskilled, tend to be younger workers who
stay for a year or so and then move on, since Timothy thinks that they are harder to motivate.
Timothy is aware that new Health & Safety regulations are due to be implemented and this will
require discipline in the workforce. He is thinking of adopting a more autocratic leadership
style.
David told Timothy that he was newly appointed to the role, and was relatively inexperienced.
He pointed out that he manages a team of forty workers, grouped into project teams with
highly skilled and experienced staff in each team. David mentioned that his predecessor was
unpopular with the workforce since he adopted an autocratic style of leadership. At one stage,
the Labour Relations Agency was asked to mediate in a dispute regarding
management/employee relations. In view of this, he had been thinking of adopting a
democratic leadership style.
Questions:
1. Explain the key functions of management within organisations such as Blocks Limited
and Fones Limited.
2. Discuss whether or not Timothy and David should adopt their proposed new
leadership styles within their respective organisations.
3. With reference to each organisation (Blocks Limited and Fones Limited), discuss the role
of management in motivation.
