“)he ca*ital goods industry is being affected by the economic slo-do-n Jro-th in the industrial

Suresh /rasad, the Kinance +ontroller lit his cigar in slo- and measured movements, and then gavehis verdict “;hile it is true that you as salesmen are badgered by customers for stee* *rice cuts, it-ould be -orth-hile to look at our costs of manufacturing a centrifugal com*ressor )he major ra-materials that go into its manufacture are castings, aluminium and steel )he finished and semi#finished com*onents used are bearings, coolers and filters, s-itches, gauges, rotors, skid, control *anels, starters, housings and *i*ing lthough the entire manufactureQassembly of the machine isdone here at 8aroda, -e still take recourse to im*orts from the *arent com*any for some of thecritical com*onents by *aying a customs duty as high as @BE )hus, an overall estimate of our totalcosts, -hich includes *roduction costs, distribution costs and service costs, -ould be $s 6D7 lacsfor the +entac +entrifugal ir +om*ressor being considered for (eccan )e"tiles )he *resentincrease in ra- material *rices and the devaluation of the ru*ee -ill further im*act our in*ut costslso, as you all are already a-are, there is a lot of value *ackaged into the +entac +entrifugalcom*ressor Its robust design enables customers get trouble#free o*eration for DA#DB years, -ithoutany dro* in o*erating efficiency It delivers the highest 0uality of air at the lo-est o*erating cost Iunderstand from nand that there is a lot of clever design and several *ro*rietary features includingsome very im*ortant *atents that I$ holds that have gone into all the 1soft-are’ of building thatmachine )herefore, offering this *roduct at a *rice as lo- as $s 67 lacs -ould mean undervaluingthe *roduct 3esides, at the end of the day, -e -ill end u* losing money, should -e sell it at such alo- *rice, since there are a lot of hidden costs involved in the im*lementation, over -hich -e do nothave too much control I am afraid that the same is true for our entire *roduct range”

“;e agree -ith -hat you say, Suresh 9o-ever customers are using the e"isting ruthless com*etitionto their advantage Su**liers are asked to give their best 0uotes )he customer then *its one su**lier against the other, eventually forcing the su**liers to offer rock#bottom *rices In this sense, I fear that as an industry -e are all to blame for accelerating the do-n-ard *lummeting *rices for com*ressors 9o-ever at the end of the day, -e sales *eo*le have sales targets to chase and marketshares to defend If -e do not sell our *roducts fearing that the *rofit being earned is not much, then

“I see no danger in the -ay -e are doing business at *resent ;e -ill -in some orders and -e -illlose some ur air com*ressor business has managed to re*ort relatively im*ressive *erformancefigures even amidst heightened com*etition and slo-do-n in the user sectors,” commented 8aveennand seemed to rebuff 8aveen “(on’t forget that our good *erformance has been on account of shar* increase in e"*orts of air com*ressors, cou*led -ith im*rovement in sales of s*ares andservices s it is, our e"*ort *rogram is already under com*etitive *ressure from our o-n +hina *lant, -hich is much more *roductive and cost#effective com*ared to our *lant” %4"hibit C B *rovides the sales distribution of air com*ressor business of I$'&

A resear!h team !reated to gather "urther in"ormation on e!!an Te2tiles

ver the ne"t one -eek the fact finding team held intense discussions -ith the heads of the sales Pmarketing, *urchase, maintenance, finance and manufacturing at (eccan )e"tiles )he findings of the team -ere summari2ed s nand read through the re*ort, he learnt the follo-ing

• Sales P Marketing function is under enormous *ressure to increase the com*any’s domestic and

international market shares lthough the com*any has so far been e"*orting about AE of its *roduction, de*ressed e"*ort markets and increasing com*etition from domestic and global *layers resulted in reduction of the *ercentage of e"*orts of the com*any’s *roducts in all

 *roduct lines Similar com*etitive *ressures -ere at *lay in the domestic markets, -here severe *rice *ressure from both domestic and foreign com*etition -as the reality for the com*any atevery turn, leaving no sco*e for *rice increase on any of the *roducts in its e"isting *roductrange

In his drive to cut costs and minimi2e -aste in the com*any, the M( has given the 5ice/resident %Manufacturing& a clear mandate to reduce cost of *roduction in the three divisions,vi2, te"tiles, cotton yarn and denim ;hile the 5/ %Manufacturing& -as -orking on develo*ingenergy conservation measures and absor*tion of ne- technology to im*rove *rocess efficiencyand *roduct 0uality, he had also asked the heads of de*artment of *urchase, maintenance andhuman resource to trim costs

• >no-n to be shre-d e"tractors of *rice concessions and service su**ort from vendors, the

 *urchase de*artment has over the years created a lot of negative feelings amongst its vendorsSu**liers have had enough -ith (eccan )e"tile’s *urchase *olicy of 1*ay the least and get themost’ (irectives from the to* management to control costs further had the 5/ /urchase at(eccan )e"tiles in a tight s*ot 9e strongly felt that *ressuri2ing vendors further for *rice cuts

• ver the last 7 years the utility manager had encountered numerous *roblems -ith many of the

• )he maintenance head, gave some first hand information regarding *roblems being faced by

(eccan )e"tiles on account of *oor com*ressor *erformance over the last 7 years Most of theinstrumentation of the manufacturing *lant at (eccan )e"tiles is *o-ered by high#*ressure airMachine tri**ing occurred on a number of occasions on account of lo- air *ressure in thesystem, caused due to leakages )he lo- air *ressure has been causing *lant breakdo-ns and the

time being s*ent to revive *lant o*erations has been on an average, @ to 7 hours Machinetri**ing of this nature ha**ens at least DB times a year 4very time there has been a *lant breakdo-n, direct loss in revenue to (eccan )e"tiles has been a**ro"imately $sG lacs )hus,every year, direct loss in revenue associated -ith lo-#air#*ressure *lant breakdo-ns has been$sD@A lacs *art from the direct revenue losses, there are additional costs (eccan )e"tiles hadto incur Kor instance, some to he e0ui*ment -ould get damaged due to conse0uential thermalstresses +ost of overtime for em*loyees, cost of -ork in *rocess at various stages that had to be1dum*ed’, and costs of re*airs -ere realities that the com*any faced )he cost of lo-#*ressureair had thus been 0uite substantial )o counter this, the com*any increased the com*ressed air ca*acity by adding a ne- large com*ressor to the system about t-o years ago )he enhancedcom*ressed air ca*acity led to underutili2ation of the additional com*ressor

The 'a "or'ard4

It -as a busy morning on the DA th of .uly nand bro-sed through Sanjay’s email containing fastfacts on (eccan )e"tiles and mulled over the findings of the com*any as re*orted by his s*ecially

a**ointed research team 9e -as still not convinced about the *rice decided on the centrifugalcom*ressor for (eccan )e"tiles “It is just not *rofitable!” he said “Should I$' continue to bleeddoing business this -ay<” he asked himself “If -e carry on doing the business the -ay -e have been doing for the last fe- years, -e -ill come under enormous bottom#line *ressures lso -e -illend u* gro-ing the com*any at about the same rate as the gro-th of the economy”

“ir com*ressors are a com*le" technology *roduct, -ith a lot of value locked in it Sadly, todayeven these have been dragged do-n to commodity status! )he combined *ressure from the customer and com*etition is forcing *rices of com*ressors to hit all time lo-s ur *roducts have a lot of value built into them 9o- can my salesmen convince customers that highly engineered *roductslike air com*ressors should not be *urchased sim*ly on the basis of *rice< Fnless -e get better  *rices, -e cannot continually im*rove the technology, and this -ill over a *eriod of time also im*act

the customer adversely”

nand recollected some of the concerns e"*ressed by Simon Mc(onald the /resident, Industrial)echnologies during a recently held meeting in the global head0uarters in FS “)here is muchmore *otential for air com*ressors in the Indian market,” Simon had said confidently to nand 9e based his judgment of the *otential of the Indian market, -hich in turn -as founded on the overalle"citement about India in the develo*ed -orld, and the fact that this slee*ing giant -as beginning to-ake u* Its over a billion *eo*le -ere hungry for all ty*es of goods and services, and all that meantgreat times for com*anies in the -estern -orld t least that is -hat the -estern business media-anted com*any honchos like Simon to believe “You guys in I$' are not ca*itali2ing on this
