Solution

The workers can be provided on-the-job training such as apprenticeship training. The employees can be put under a master worker who would guide them in the proper use of the machinery. The employees can work under the master worker for a pre-defined amount of time and then gradually move to do the task themselves under the supervision of the master workers. Once the employees complete the training they would be able to work with greater accuracy and efficiency.

Q. Blue Heavens Ltd. purchased a new hi-tech machine from Germany for manufacturing high quality auto components in a cost effective manner. But during the production process, the manager observed that the quality of production was not as per standard. On investigation it was found that there was lack of knowledge amongst the employees about using these hi-tech machines. So, frequent visits of engineers were required from Germany. This resulted in high overhead charges.
Suggest what can be done to develop the skills and abilities of employees for producing high quality products by using these hi-tech machines. Also state how the employees or the organisation will be benefited from the suggestion.

Q. Karan Nath took over 'D'north Motor Company' from his ailing father three months ago. In the past the company was not performing well. Karan was determined to improve the company's performance. He observed that the methods of production as well as selection of employees in the company were not scientific.
He believed that there was only one best method to maximise efficiency. He also felt that once the method is developed, the workers of the company should be trained to learn that 'best method'.
He asked the Production Manager to develop the best method and carry out the necessary training. The Production Manager developed this method using several parameters right from deciding the sequence of operations, place for men, machines and raw materials till the delivery of the product to the customers. This method was implemented throughout the organisation. It helped in increasing the output, improving the quality and reducing the cost and wastage.
Identify and explain the principles and the technique of scientific management followed by the Production Manager in the given case.
