| Abstract: |
Basic methodologies for gauging productivity are not used in the industry, relatively nonstandard tools are practiced to measure and evaluate productivity. In Pakistan, specifically not enough efforts have been put in to measure and enhance the productivity of manufacturing industry. This research was focused on identifying the prevalent condition of productivity in automotive industry of Pakistan and suggesting a productivity enhancement model. This is a qualitative research in which open ended questions were asked. In order to develop a productivity enhancement framework, a field survey was conducted from top management of automotive industry. A total of 40 interviews were conducted from CEO's and Directors of 28 automotive factories of Pakistan. Open ended questions used for survey were compiled from the internationally published work for validity and reliability requirements. Role of technology in productivity enhancement of this industry was explored. Findings of this research have shown that lack of training, less education, resistance and lack of skilled manpower are the major problems faced by the industry, in implementation of latest techniques and technologies. Results of this research depicted that there is an immediate need to implement these concepts for productivity enhancement. The cost effective solutions provided in this model show that this model can be used for manufacturing industries in general in the developing countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
