The client, a subsidiary of a major tile manufacturing conglomerate in India, manufactures 150 Metric Tonnes of ropes per month at their facility in Kala Amb, Himachal Pradesh. They implemented a performance measurement system to monitor production remotely as the management was located elsewhere. Sookshm established data collection processes independent of workers, identified critical quality parameters, and enabled daily shift summaries. They developed flexible costing and activity-based costing reports to track costs in real-time. This allowed remote performance tracking, saved management visits, targeted waste reductions, and evaluated performance of resources.

2. Situation
• The client wished for systems that could monitor production performance
in manufacturing facility without a visit by top management every day.
• Lack of mobility in the data they monitored meant that immediate reporting
about performance was impossible.
• The management identified multiple other data points to be tapped. Depending on
worker to collect the data, however, raised questions on the quality, timeliness,
accuracy and consistency of data
• Client focuses extensively on the quality of their products and hence wished for
process quality monitoring of measures.
Sookshm Action
• Process was established that enabled the data collection process, independent of
the worker
• Staff involved in support processes were given well defined job requirements and
the data gathering responsibility
• Identified critical to quality parameters & included in the data gathering processes
• Enabled a daily shift-wise summary of the production process which
is communicated to the management on a regular basis.
• Developed flexible costing mechanism that incorporated real-time fluctuation in
cost of raw material to decide the selling price of each of the finished good
• Instituted activity based costing report every time an equipment is run and helped
in efficient tracking on production costs
RESULT
• Costing method instituted provided real time costs and removed
approximations from the process completely
• Automated reports and remote tracking saved top management personnel 7-8
weekly 200 km visits. Visit is only required when a new production plan begins.
• High quality production environment targeting 10-15% decrease in waste
instances over a six month period
• The solution delivered helps management evaluate performance of man,
machine and resources remotely
