Project Initiative
The MIGM at ISB is a pioneering effort with the mandate to ‘Raise the Level of Indian Manufacturing’. The vision of our Institute is to be the premier independent academic institution in India for operational excellence and innovation in the manufacturing ecosystem in India and beyond. To enable the vision, we have set for ourselves the mission ‘To engender synergistic engagement between industry, academia and the government in India and beyond through thought leadership, facilitating knowledge sharing, informing government policy and grooming future leaders. Our research endeavours to find long term solutions to deep-rooted problems faced by Indian manufacturing.
In the recent past, we have worked on the project, ‘Developing Corporate Skilling Strategies to enhance Women’s employability through CSR Programs’. Currently, we are working on the project, ‘Impact of Industry 4.0 on the Future of Work in the Textile Industry in India’ and 'Female Labour Force Participation Rate in Manufacturing'.
Developing Corporate skilling strategies to enhance women’s employability - 2019
This research report on ‘Developing Corporate Skilling Strategies to Enhance Women’s Employability Through CSR Programmes’, is funded by Hero MotoCorp Limited and is in collaboration with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC). In this study we have leveraged both primary and secondary data, ranging from NSDC’s government and corporate funded skilling initiatives, their impact on employability, effectiveness of training eco-system and contribution of Corporate Social Responsibility for enhancing Female Labor Force participation rate (FLFPR) in India. The findings of this report are thought provoking and help us understand reasons for India’s dropping FLFPR, we also discuss a few remedial measures.
The country’s Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR), was at its peak in 2005, at 36.8%, and has been declining ever since. It was only 26.9% in 2018 – the lowest among all the G20 countries except Saudi Arabia. In comparison, the world average FLFPR is higher, at approximately 48.5%, Brazil’s is 53.08%, Russia 56.31%, China 60.87% and South Africa 47.9%.
To analyse and identify the gaps, areas of improvement, and the measures to increase the
participation of women in the workforce, we have attempted a comprehensive study involving the NSDC’s training partner eco-system and trainees under the government-funded and fee-based skilling programmes, skilling experts, working women and have also assessed the corporate sector’s contribution to women-centric programs through their Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives. Overall, this study assesses the impact these skilling initiatives have had on the employability of women in India.
Impact of Truck Unions on Manufacturers - 2019
Munjal Institute for Global Manufacturing have conducted a “Study on Impact of Truck Unions on Manufacturing” in collaboration with TCIL. This study covers Pan India (125 districts). We have evaluated responses from 225 manufacturers. Manufacturers using truck unions find 20% gap between perception and expectation. Feedback on the draft report has been obtained from TCIL and some new dimensions are being investigated now.
Cold Chain Development for Fruits-&-Vegetables in India: Study of a Kinnow Supply Chain
The project analyzed the ‘Potential of cold-chain for Fruit-and- Vegetable Distribution in India’ with a case study on a particular supply chain for 'kinnow' fruit. The data (costs and revenues) for the supply chain was collected and the profitability was calculated for all stakeholders investing in cold chain. The impact of food wastage and carbon in the supply chain was also studied.
Analyzing The Potential Of Increase In Acreage For Kinnow, Maize, Wood, Turmeric And Moong As Per The Draft Agriculture Policy For Punjab - 2014
In view of agriculture sector crisis in Punjab, the importance of research in the realm of ecologically sound farming practices is foremost. While ecological sustainability is important, the economic viability for the farmer needs to be taken into account. In this context, Punjab Mandi Board commissioned Indian School of Business to undertake a research study analyzing the potential of increase in the production of selected five commodities as mentioned in the Agriculture Policy for Punjab-2013 (Draft) in terms of their existing markets and the potential to expand in the wake of proposed area expansion under alternate crops. Given the nature and magnitude of crisis in the farm sector in the state, this research is a pioneering attempt to critically analyze the diversification strategy recommended as per the draft.
Inefficiencies In Agriculture Supplay Chain In Punjab And Opportunities For IT Interventions- 2012
Agriculture is a critical sector of the Indian economy. An average Indian still spends significant amount of his/her total expenditure on food, while close 60% of India’s work force is still engaged in agriculture for its livelihood. Though India is one of biggest producer of various commodities, it is still home to children who are malnourished. Through this report, we have studied the inefficiencies in agriculture supply chain of key commodities in the state of Punjab and we have given our recommendations for improvements through IT interventions.
