5. AN INSIGHT INTO MANUFACTURING AND
RELATED PROCESS
The benefits of civilization which we enjoy today are
essentially due to improved quality of products available
to us. This improved quality comes from the various
manufacturing process involved in the manufacturing
sector which would ensure a better product being made
and available at an economical cost. The processes
include:
 Casting process.
 Deformation process or forming process.
 Machining process or material removal process.
 Joining process.
 Fabrication process.
 Plastic material or polymer processing methods.
 Powder metallurgy.
 Assembly process.
 Heat treatment and surface treatment process.

6. Selection of manufacturing process for a
product is based on following considerations:
Type and nature of starting material.
Volume of production.
Expected quality and properties of the
components.
Technical viability of the process.
Economy and cost of production.
Power consumed ,time required and specified
quality standards of the product.
Esteem value and use value of the product.

7. TYPES OF MANUFACTURING SECTORS:
Although reforms have reduced licensing and regulation, heavy
industry is still dominated by public-sector enterprises. State-owned
companies have accounted for the bulk of activity in steel, non-ferrous
metals (virtually 100% for copper, lead and zinc, and about 50% for
aluminium), shipbuilding, engineering, chemicals and paper. The
government had pledged to reduce its holdings in non-strategic
public-sector undertakings to a maximum of 26%, and to close down
non-viable enterprises.

8. IMPACT OF MANUFACTURING ON INDIAN
ECONOMY
 In 1990, India and China had almost the same GDP
per capita. Since then, driven by its manufacturing
sector, China’s economy has grown much faster than
has India’s and its GDP per capita on a PPP basis is
90% higher than India’s GDP per capita.
 To achieve faster rates of economic growth India
urgently needs to strengthen its own manufacturing.
Manufacturing takes turns under all types of economic
systems.
 In a free market economy, manufacturing is usually
directed toward the mass of products for sale
to consumers at a profit.
 In mixed market economies, manufacturing occurs
under some degree of government regulation.
 Modern manufacturing includes all intermediate
processes required for the production and integration
of a product's components.

9. RECENTS OVERVIEWS

11. BENEFITS PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURING
SECTOR
Though manufacturing sector have large number of benefits some have discussed under:
Increase in GDP of the nation and be able to walk hand in hand with the developed
nations.
Move a step towards the goal of becoming a developed nation and a superpower in
the near future.
Provide employment to such a massive population.
Increases the technological and intellectual outlook of the nation and its people.
Proper use of natural resources to generate products that would reduce manual
labour and increase the individual standard of living.
Increases bonding , cooperation and fraternity among nations worldwide.
Lead a pathway to new research and technological findings and search for
optimization of existing and newly generated methods of manufacturing.
All the products are home made in the country and hence less is the import, duties
and taxes on imports are set free instead products can be exported which helps in
raising national wealth.

12. CAUSES OF UNWILLINGNESS OF
YOUNG ENGINEERS TOWARDS
MANUFACTURING sector
The feelings of a young engineer being
not interested to involve in manufacturing sector
depends on individual outlook. Some of them are:
 Danger to life in working. Generally working
with heavy machines is dangerous. Proper
precaution is to be taken care for safety
purpose. A small ignorance or unconsciousness
leads to fatal accidents.
 Working in an unhealthy condition, while IT
sector provides air conditioned room to work.
Generally plants are situated at a safe distance
from towns and crowds. These areas are very
much polluted with dust, smoke, toxic gases.
Workers have to drive a long distance every
day.
 High physical labor required in manufacturing
sectors. Physical as well as mentally sound state
is necessary for a healthy production.

13.  75% of placements of young engineer are
in IT sectors. Indian manufacturing sectors
can’t provide sufficient job to youth due to
lack in number of industry. Development
and number of workers required for
manufacturing is very less. Only a few
numbers of manufacturing companies are
in India as compare to other sectors.
 Lack of proper education, training leads to
ignorance of manufacturing knowledge.
Students are not getting proper guide
towards a healthy development in this
sector.
 Economic hikes affect the cost of
production and transportation along with
sailing prices. This causes high product
cost which alters rate of demand and
utility in India.

14. STEPS TO BE ADOPTED FOR ATTRACTING YOUNG
ENGINEERS TOWARDS MANUFACTURING SECTOR
The development of a highly skilled and educated
21st century workforce will help maintain Indian
leadership in innovation and productivity, which is
essential to the viability of manufacturing in the global
marketplace.
 Increasing number of technical institutions to
accommodate more and more number of
people.
 Reduce the education cost to a suitable level
so that the common mass can contribute to
increase the growth of manufacturing sector.
 Proper technical knowledge and guidance
along with a tour to industry as visit or
vocational training should be provided for
creating interest towards manufacturing
sector.

15.  Development of more core sectors would
make path for employment and hence the
intake capacity would increase which would
rouse their interest.
 The working conditions in the industry should
be at safety and hygiene; this would make
people’s lives less prone to fatal accidental
injury.
 Fulfill all the personal requirements for their
job like proper wage, medical facility with
medical insurance during working period and
housings with other requirements.
 Hold campaign programs to create
awareness among the young engineers by
prioritizing among the interest of the
students.

16.  Include computer related automated jobs that
requires less manual labor by doing the
manufacturing processes by means of software like
AUTOCAD,PRO-E etc.
 Prepare for optimization of the processes which
results in interest to the technocrats towards
manufacturing sector.
 Use of the communicative and innovative skills of
the youngsters that cause their skills to be utilized
in growth of manufacturing sectors.
 Major bottlenecks – lack of awareness, inadequate
technical support and high cost – can be overcome
through training programs, indigenous development
of IT solutions and (temporary) financial incentives.
This will provide an additional competitive edge.

17.  Government and academia also need to work
closely with the media, to reinforce the positive
image of manufacturing sector, create
awareness about present challenges and future
technologies and bring the leaders into limelight
so as to inspire others.
 The academia and industry should work together
to identify the leaders and create innovative
ideas for further exploration. They need to set up
joint innovation centers, mutual exchange chairs
(industrialist teaches in university; professor
conducts research in industry), and compulsory
internship for engineering students in industry.
 Industry should create exciting jobs for such
students. Financial rewards must be made
equivalent to those in other profess ions for a
similarly qualified per son to attract and retain
talent of high caliber to manufacturing.

18.  Technology must be used for eliminating,
automating, speeding and value additions
in tasks related to design, production and
supply chain management.
 Installation of methods using non-
conventional energy resources in
generation of power required in
manufacturing sector would be a substitute
to the energy crisis in the recent world. This
would create interest among young stars to
work on new technologies.
 Include modern manufacturing processes
that are automated and this feature helps
the young technocrats to quickly and
efficiently grasp and monitor the entire
process resulting in efficient outcomes

19. PROFITS OF INCLUDING YOUNG ENGINEERS AS a WORKFORCE
 Young mass as workforce in the industrial sector increase the
efficiency output of the processes.
 Accuracy and quality of the product is highly increased due to
proper supervision.
 Today’s youth is better equipped with computer and the software
related works which helps in no training requirement and quicker
grasp of automation process.
 A vigilant workforce is always a better substitute than the older and
lethargic ones due to age factor.

20.  Young engineers have a better communication skill which helps in
coordinating tasks among higher authority level and lower worker
level.
 Young ones can actively participate and also instill many
programs that would ultimately results in increase in individual
performance level and also the industrial growth rate.
 Young joining can let them to work for many years resulting in
evaluation of individual performance level and to come over
gradually with their shortcomings.

21. CONCLUSION
