Dear all,

I have been working in the HR field for the past 5 years. During this time, I was involved in retail marketing, working as an HR Trainer, focusing on staff training and recruitment. Recently, I have been promoted to a managerial position in a manufacturing company as an HR Manager, responsible for overseeing the entire HR process. I am seeking guidance on the key areas I should focus on developing as an HR professional in the manufacturing sector, particularly in terms of statutory compliance.

Your valuable insights and recommendations will greatly contribute to my career growth.

Thank you.

Dear friend,

If you are from a manufacturing company, then your primary need is to manage the following costs:

a) Inventory Carrying Cost of Raw Materials

b) Work in Progress (WIP) Inventory Costs

c) Inventory Carrying Cost of Finished Goods

d) Capital costs to run the operations

e) Capacity costs

f) Maintenance costs

g) Quality costs

h) Ordering cost

i) Set-up cost

j) Inspection cost

My humble request is to measure these costs scientifically. To do this, you need to study your complete supply chain and identify the direct and indirect costs associated with the parties involved in the supply chain. Whatever HR intervention that you launch, it should be addressed toward the reduction of these costs. Otherwise, there will not be any measurable or tangible value addition from your side.

Yes, handling statutory activities is important but then in the HR of the 21st century, it has taken a backseat. It is just a service function of HR and it cannot be considered a value-adding activity per se.

Thanks,
