CASE STUDY (20 Marks)
Ajay Sharma is manager -SU4, i.e. Sub
Unit 4 and is direct uncharged of around forty five workers and ten supervisory
staff. The company is ISO9002 certificate holder and the policy clearly spells
out objectives for all levels of employees. For the next two years. Each unit
has its own production target and any deviation from these targets is reflected
in weekly reports prepared by head of units. Ajay however is worried about his
unit. Since he joined this new position to weeks ago, he has observed the
functioning of the workers and made notes on how they work. Out of 10
supervisors, only 2 of them have been recruited directly. But all the workers show
no difference of attitudes for direct supervisors. Ajay realized that his sub
unit has defaulted on five occasions to meet the target in the last 3 months.
He emphasized the need to tackle this issue urgently. During his observations,
Ajay noticed that a certain supervisor, Chander Pal is most vocal and is seen
discussing all issues with everybody in free time and is doing his a work very efficiently.
Ajay in a formal discussion with all his 10 supervisors raised the issue of
failing to meet the weekly targets. He proposed to form 3 work groups within
the sub unit, who will be responsible for meeting weekly production targets and
also for maintaining performance ratings for individual workers. He suggested
that Chander Pal should be the leader of these groups. He also made it clear
that there was no provision for performance related compensation or incentives.
But based on the performance monitoring, we will select a ‘Performer of SU-4’
on weekly basis. Ajay entrusted the following 3 major responsibilities to the
groups. (a) Create awareness on production target and quality. (b) Check the
production achieved as against the targets on daily basis. (c) Monitor individual
performance.
