Woes of weaving machinery servo motor manufacturers in india.
Social sustainability in the decisions of supply chain in multinational servo motor manufacturers in india organisations in India. Indian organisations are resorting to sustainability-based reporting for greater transparency and for creation of brand value for their organisations. There are tremendous economic upheavals and changes across the complete value chain, and thus, responsible business practices are becoming a necessity for the long-term survival of organisations. Sustainability, as a strategy, is responsible utilisation of resources and is reported through social, economic and environmental factors in an organisation. For sustainability as a strategy, there has to be a complete organisational inclusion and employee engagement through decision making at operational levels along the value chain. The research paper is an empirical study done through a survey using a structured questionnaire to collect information to evaluate decision criteria particularly for social sustainability, from the middle and top level executives in Indian manufacturing.
The Government has provided Technology Upgradation Fund (TUFS) to the Textile Industry with a view to modernize the industry. This was an excellent step towards improving the performance of the domestic textile industry. Though the Scheme was in operation from April 1999, the Textile Industry started availing the facility significantly after 2002. This obviously helped the Textile Engineering Industry (TEI) as more orders were received. This also prompted the (TEI) to increase the capacity.
Business sustainability becomes an important issue in the present competitive business world. Therefore, organisation has to commit to corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a part of their business strategy. One of the important components of this strategy is the effective and transparent communication about CSR. This study examines the CSR communication in the company websites undertaken by the Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) certified apparel manufacturers in India. It also analyses whether the companies have mentioned regarding the Companies Act 2013 in their company website. The purposive sampling method was used and only the WRAP certified apparel manufacturing companies were included in the study. Data was analysed using the descriptive statistics. The study includes 180 WRAP certified apparel-manufacturing companies in India. Among them 118 were gold rated, 2 silver rated and 60 platinum rated. The finding shows that only 48% of these companies had CSR information in their company websites.
India, as well as other Asian countries, especially China and Thailand, has experienced a rapid growth in its automobile industry since the 1990s. One of the main reasons for this growth was the implementation of an economic liberalization policy that accelerated a huge amount of direct investment in India on the part multinational motor companies. These companies established 100%-owned assembly plants or joint ventures that collaborated with local business groups. In 2002, 12 motor companies, including three Japanese ones, competed for the market shares of passenger cars and multi-utility vehicles. While the total number of vehicles produced in India has gradually increased, the scale of production per company has remained small because of severe market competition. Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM), a joint venture created by Toyota Motor Company, Japan, with the Kirloskar Group, India, was investigated in an attempt to explain the small-scale vehicle production system of an overseas Japanese automobile plant.
Two-wheeler vehicles in Delhi, India--roughly 70% of the total vehicle fleet--are responsible for a significant portion of the city's vehicle emissions and petroleum consumption. An inspection and maintenance (I/M) program that ensures vehicle emission control systems are well maintained can complement other emission reduction strategies. This paper presents the initial findings of extensive data collected on vehicle characteristics and emissions for two-wheeler vehicles operating in Delhi in a series of I/M camps conducted by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers and various partners in late 1999. Woes of weaving machinery servo motor manufacturers in india.The analysis shows idle HC and CO emissions [measured in terms of parts per million (ppm) and volume % (vol %), respectively] in a slow declining trend with subsequent model years, reflecting tighter emission standards and more advanced emission technologies. The I/M benefits--3 vol % and 39% reduction in idle and mass CO, respectively; 40 vol % and 22% reduction in idle and mass HC, respectively; and a 10-20% increase in fuel efficiency--were higher than those reported.
The requirement of modern systems to be quiet and run smoothly increases production costs. The manufacture and purchase of high quality motors that meet these demands becomes increasingly costly. By using the ever increasing computer power available in micro-controllers, at the same costs, it is possible to use current sensing to develop control adjustments which decrease power ripples caused by the commutators of basic DC commutated motors. These ripples if left unmitigated propagate through to torque ripples which then increase the acoustic noise level present.
Since the 1990s, new production trends have been evident in the Asian automobile industry. Japan constituted 85.5% of the total amount of the motor vehicles production in Asia in 1990, but that figure fell to 57.6% by 2000. In contrast, China and India have increased their vehicle production thanks to huge foreign direct investment into their automobile sector. Southeast Asian countries, especially Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, have also experienced a rapid growth of the automobile industry, except during the recession period of the late 1990s. The spatial configuration of the Asian automobile production has gradually shifted from the concentrated system in one prominent country to a more dispersed multipolar system. This paper aims to discuss the Asian automobile industry from the viewpoints of 1) developmental processes, 2) location, and 3) the international division of labor, mainly focusing on Southeast Asia and India. The following results are obtained. Because of the lack of indigenous vehicle manufacturers (except India), Japanese motor companies have played an important.

Since then, there has been no looking back for the company. Its domestic and export sales figures have risen manifold each year and the car maker has gone on to become the second largest manufacturer in the Indian car market with a market share of 18.10 percent as of 2010-2011. By 2009-2010, most of the major international car makers were setting up production facilities in India. The market was set to become highly competitive and it became imperative for manufacturers like Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) and HMIL to retain their customers in order to maintain their market share.
The automotive products subsector in India has been targeted by the 1985-1989 plans to grow more rapidly than the overall industrial sector, and the Government of India expects the subsector to constitute a spearhead for technological renovation and modernization in the engineering industries and accelerate the growth of industrial output, employment and exports. For these reasons, the World Bank has undertaken, with the concurrence and support of the Indian Government, a review of the situation, performance, potential and prospects of the automotive subsector. The following report presents the major findings and conclusions of this review. The review is based on the factory visits and interviews of about 10 vehicle manufacturers, 35 automotive component suppliers and 5 machine-tool producers undertaken during three missions between June 1985 and March 1936. In-field work was actively supported by the Association of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (AIAM) and the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACHA).
India has a strong pump manufacturing base with both Indian and International players involved in the market. Coimbatore houses the largest number of pump manufacturers.

This study also highlights certain marketing issues which are related to pump manufacturing units.
Today there is a need to develop green practices in every sector in order to minimize the burden on environment. For this we have to consider biggest factor which is contributing to various hazards to the environment. This factor is manufacturing Industry. In India there is a huge market of automobile industry. So the area of automobile industry should be studied for its environmental cautiousness. These efforts for elimination of environmental hazards can be studied by surveying various literatures on Green Supply Chain Management in automobile sector of India. This paper consists of various aspects and comparison of GSCM practices followed globally, with Indian GSCM practices.
In last few decades, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has marked its importance in scholarly research as evidenced by an increasing number of articles and journals dedicated to the topic (Dirnbach, 2008). This increase in popularity is in part the result of globalization and international trade (Jamali & Mirshak, 2006), as the era of globalization has meant that many apparel retailers do not own production factories, but have divested their manufacturing in favor of outsourced production. Availability of inexpensive labor and low production costs make developing countries attractive outsourcing locations. For this reason, India is emerging as one of the major players in the global apparel supply chain (Krishnamoorthy, 2006). The Indian textile and apparel manufacturing sector employs roughly 45 million people, making it the second largest provider of jobs in India after agriculture, and accounts for nearly 11% of the country's total exports.
An analysis, based on a survey of the print advertisements and TV commercials for safety content, and the pricing policy for offering safety technology of six major automobile manufacturers, shows that manufacturers are not promoting safety issues or their safety technology in any significant manner. They are not offering airbags or anti-lock braking systems in most of the base models costing less than $12,000. It is the responsibility of the Government of India to announce strict crashworthiness standards for cars sold in India, since vehicle manufacturers generally do not provide safety features unless forced to do so.
EMD is being increasingly used in dry cell batteries all over the world. In India, it is used in combination with Indian natural manganese dioxide ores to improve high drain performance of the batteries. There are two major manufacturers of EMD. Both the manufacturers use the latest development in EMD technology by employing Ti anodes. The present production capacity is about 5000 tonnes/year as against a demand of about 4000 tonnes/year. The cost of manufacturing in India is very high as compared to Japan, though similar technology is used. The high cost is due to higher import cost and government polices. The growth of EMD business is linked to the cost and availability of Indian and African ore.
This paper describes the relationship between industrial policy and development of machine tool industry in India. Although industrial and import licensing was liberalized to promote competition among machine tool manufacturers during 1980s, they did not react. Competition became tough after automobile policy was changed as a part of economic reforms. Demand of machine tools expanded and buyer demanded more sophisticated machine. Big machine tool manufacturers tried to introduce TPM and TQC to improve quality and labour productivity. Indian manufacturers are still protected by high import duty. While it is being reduced, they can adjust because they have ability to reduce costs. However, they take time to establish them selves in export market. Protection, competition and expansion of demand was necessary for development of machine tool industry.
Smartphones are getting smarter each day. In view of the rapid development, multi-functionality, Ubiquity, and connectivity of mobile devices, it offers a new and potentially powerful market for smart phone users. The smarter a phone the higher its price- that has been the mantra for global mobile phone manufacturers. Since their inception smartphones were considered as high-end mobile phones but as time progressed a high-end series of smartphones was invented. High-end smartphones can be defined as smartphones with better computing capabilities and added features. The ownership of these multifunctional mobile devices is growing exponentially. Whilst there is no specific criterion that separates high-end smartphones from the low-end ones. Price and features are considered as determinants that can form a line of separation. However there is difficulty in defining the price benchmark, as in different countries and communities with different levels of income and living standards one cannot generalize a price level for all.

To reduce the consumption of power and making the handling of display devices easy the manufacturers are reducing the size of the screen. To fit the visual contents into the small screen of display devices without any image deformation development of an efficient image retargeting technique is required. The traditional seam carving technique is widely used to change the aspect ratio of the image. This technique produces the distortions on the prominent line segments when the successive optimal seam starts intersecting at the same location on their structure. In this paper, an improved seam carving technique is proposed which overcomes the limitation of the traditional seam carving technique. The novelty of the proposed technique is to restrict the occurrence of intersection by the optimal seams at the same location on the line structures and bypass them at the nearby locations. To meet this objective the proposed technique performs the energy enhancement operation at the intersection point.
Globalisation and liberalization has caused markets to become more competitive. It is a well known fact that Pricing Decisions are market driven. The Indian automobile Industry is currently enjoying the best time for last 20 years. This also puts pressure on the manufacturers to adopt costing techniques/methods that suits market trend. Today Scrap of products are sold at fully competitive price which is driven by competitive market, but a new product is not sold at market driven price as the cost consist of many irrelevant cost contents. The purchase price of new products is highly unrealistic and tending to higher in which so many un-real factors are involved like, Depreciation by SLM (i.e. straight line method)/WDV (Written down Value) method, advertisement cost, foreign currency conversion losses, losses due to managerial inefficiency, sometimes abnormal losses also. Because of this, Indian automobile manufacturers are not in a position to compete at international level although India is one of the largest markets of the world.
The tractor industry and the commercial vehicles industry are the two highest priority sectors for the Eighth Industrial Imports Credit. Increase in the size of the tractor fleet has been rapid but unable to meet recent demand. To satisfy demand, existing manufacturers were granted expansion licenses and new licenses were issued. However, since mid-1971 price increases and tighter credit reduced effective demand to below current installed capacity and only marginally over the expected production. Demand for indigenous tractors is very uneven, tractor quality being the major determinant of farmer choice. There are too many manufacturers producing outmoded models at low production levels and making little profit. To prevent further deterioration of the poorly structured industry, Government should: (i) conduct a new comprehensive study of future demand; and (ii) reconsider industrial licensing policy and procedures to expand production and update product design. However, existing producers probably would not be motivated to expand capacity unless price controls.

There were 50 operational airports six years ago. Now, there are 80 active operational airports. India would have 500 airports, including the number of merchant (private) airports by 2020. The Indian aviation market is growing at the rate of 18 per cent annually. The Civil aviation Industry attracts huge foreign direct investment for Airport Infrastructure development.
Polymer matrix composites have always piqued the curiosity of the scientific, technological communities and are being recognized as the best option for a wide range of engineering applications owing to their superior mechanical qualities, namely stiffness and high specific strength. In addition, these materials offer useful design flexibility and comparatively better fatigue and corrosion resistance than many other materials. These are thus recognized as advanced composite materials due to their superior mechanical properties and comparative ease of fabrication. As a result, manufacturers have turned towards these advanced composites for a wide range of applications in a variety of industries. A manufacturer or designer must choose appropriate constituents of a composite for a particular application while considering all the composite's properties. This stands as one of the main objectives of this review, i.e. to explore various matrices and reinforcement combinations used for different applications taking their properties into accord.
Several charts and tables on the import and export market for brakes, servo-brakes, and parts for tractors, motor cars, and other motor vehicles in India in 2011 are presented depicting the variations in share percentage, total value in U.S. dollars, and rank of countries from which parts of motor vehicles are imported in India, the countries to which India exports these materials, and the position of India among the import and export markets.
With increasing applications in high performance actuation systems as in aerospace and nuclear industries, demand for motors operating at an ambient temperature of 100°C and above has increased. Hence, it is highly necessary to validate the performance of motors at high temperature before their integration into complex critical systems. Most commercial test benches for motor available today, are designed for operation only at normal temperature. This paper describes the design, physical structure, operating principle and data acquisition system of automated test facility developed for testing stepper motors, brushed DC motors and brushless servo motors at room temperature as well as at elevated temperatures. To make the entire measurement system automated, a graphical user interface based on C# software is developed. Through the experiments on standard motors, quality of the design, performance of test bench and implementation of control modes are validated.
Regardless of elaborate and complete test procedures by both insulating materials manufacturers and the OEM's laboratory facilities, materials are frequently submitted which are not suitable for production usage. Some of the new materials developed in recent years on the basis of laboratory test data leave much to be desired for actual production. This is caused, in most instances, because many insulating material manufacturers are not familiar with motor production practice or, they strive so hard for the optimum technical properties in materials that they fail to see the possible production problems their materials will create. This is a tragic condition and production methods changes or even basic design changes bar the use of excellent materials due to the wrong mechanical properties being developed. It is to the mutual advantage of the manufacturer of insulation, its vendor and, the OEM to evaluate and develop material properties and industry standards as a team in close cooperation with each other.
