CHAPTER 1

ECONOMIC SCENARIO

SESHADRIPURAM INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES

Page 7
FORTUNE ELASTOMERS Pvt. Ltd .
ECONONMIC SCENARIO
1.1 Introduction
Manufacturing and industrial environments today are becoming increasingly
dynamic and competitive. Companies are competing on a global scale in a fast
moving world with customers demanding reliable delivery dates and high quality
products and services as well as quick response to market changes. Suppliers are
expected to deliver on time in increasingly small batches. To respond to these
demands, businesses need to increases and productivity efficiency. This can be
achieved through lead time and set up time reduction, through the implementation of
rapid changeovers and through effective scheduling.
In this new environment, cycle time reduction provides a key competitive
advantage. Reduced cycle time can translate into increased customer satisfaction.
Quick response companies can launch new products earlier, penetrate new markets
faster, meet changing demands, and can deliver rapidly and on time. They can also
offer their customers lower costs because quick response companies have efficient
processes with low inventory and less obsolete stock. According to practical studies,
halving the cycle time and doubling the work in progress inventory turns can increase
productivity. Moreover, quartering the time for one step typically reduces costs.
With reduced cycle times, quality improves too. Faster processes allow lower
inventories which, in turn, expose weaknesses and increase the rate of improvement.
After eliminating non value added transactions there are fewer opportunities for
defects. Fast cycle time organizations experience more rapid feedback throughout the
supply chain as downstream customers receive goods closer and closer to the time
they were manufactured.
On the other hand, businesses that do not pursue cycle time reduction do not
merely stand still. They face the opposite of cycles of learning. When a company
cannot manufacture quickly enough to respond to customer orders, they must institute
forecasts. The longer the cycle time, the further out and less accurate the forecast
becomes. Forecast errors because expediting to meet unexpected demand and the

disruption adds to queuing and missed deliveries. The entire production process
becomes asynchronous with high lead time variability and raising safety stock needs.

1.2 Indian Economy Overview

India's economic growth is expected to pick up a faster pace in 2013-14 and record six

FORTUNE ELASTOMERS Pvt. Ltd .

per cent plus levels of gross domestic product (GDP), according to Mr C Rangarajan,
Chairman, and Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC).
India was reported to expand at a better rate as compared to its three BRIC peers
China, Russia and Brazil in May 2013, as per a survey by HSBC.
India was also ranked amongst the top 20 real estate investment markets globally with
investment volume worth Rs 190 billion (US$ 3.05 billion) recorded in 2012,
according to Cushman & Wakefield's report ‘International Investment Atlas’.
India witnessed an improvement in its business climate on the back of increased
foreign direct investment (FDI) and greater revenue receipts by the Government. The
‘BluFin Business Cycle Indicator (BCI)’, which reflects various macroeconomic
trends on a monthly basis, stood at 165.3 points in July 2013, 5.3 per cent higher
compared to July 2012.
Some of the other important economic developments in the country are as follows:
•

Indian companies have invested Rs 3,497 billion (US$ 57 billion) across
Europe during 2003-2012, of which Rs 2,358 billion (US$ 38.44 billion) was
through mergers & acquisitions (M&A) deals of 411 companies. A dominant
47 per cent of the Indian greenfield investment and 63 per cent of the
employment creation was received by the United Kingdom (UK)

•

Indian companies have raised about Rs 117 billion (US$ 1.9 billion) through
external commercial borrowings (ECB) and foreign currency convertible
bonds (FCCB) in June 2013 to fund modernisation, foreign acquisition,
importing of capital goods and refinancing of old loans

•

India registered FDI growth of 24.2 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) to touch Rs
242.28 billion (US$ 3.95 billion) in April-May 2013, according to data
released by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP)

•

The cumulative amount of FDI equity inflows into India were worth Rs 12.09
trillion (US$ 197.24 billion) between April 2000 to May 2013, according to
the latest data published by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion
(DIPP)

•

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) made a net investment (including equity

and debt) worth Rs 30.57 billion (US$ 498 million) as on August 7, 2012-13,

INDUSTRY PROFILE

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
2.1 HISTORY OF FOOTWEARS:Spanish cave drawings from more than 15,000 years ago show humans with animal
skins or furs wrapped around their feet. The body of a well-preserved “ice-man”
nearly 5,000 years old wore leather foot coverings stuffed with straw. Shoes, in some
form or another, have been around for a very long time. The evolution of foot
coverings, from the sandal to present-day athletic shoes are marvels of engineering,
continues even today as we find new materials with which to cover our feet. Has the
shoe really changed that much though? We are, in fact; still wear sandals – the oldest
crafted foot covering known to us. Moccasins are still readily available in the form of
the loafer. In fact, many of the shoes we wear today can be traced back to another era.
The Cuban heel may have been named for the dance craze of the 1920s, but the shape
could be seen long before that. Platform soles, which wear one of the most
recognizable features of footwear in the 1970s and 1990s, were handed down to us
from 16th century chopines. Then, high soles were a necessity to keep the feet off of
the dirty streets. Today, they are worn strictly for fashion’s sake. The poulaine, with
its ridiculously long toes was not that different from the winkle pickers worn in the
1960s. If one can deduce that basic shoe shapes have evolved only so much, it is
necessary to discover why this has happened. It is surely not due to a lack of
imagination – the colors and materials of shoes today demonstrate that. Looking at
shoes from different parts of the world, one can see undeniable similarities. While the
Venetians were wearing the chopine, the Japanese balanced on high-soled wooden
shoes called Get. Though the shape was slightly different, the idea remained the same.

The Venetians had no contact with the Japanese, so it was not a case of imitation.
Even the mystical Chinese practice of foot binding had been copied (though to a
lesser extent) in our culture. Some European women and men of the past bound their
feet with tape and squashed them into too-tight shoes. In fact, a survey from the early
1990s reported that 88 percent of American women wear shoes that are too small!

2.2 INDIAN FOOTWEAR INDUSTRY
The footwear sector is a very significant segment of the leather industry in India;
rather it is the engine of growth for the entire Indian leather industry.
India is the second largest global producer of footwear after China, accounting for
13% of global footwear production of 16 billion pairs. India produces 2065 million
pairs of different categories of footwear (leather footwear - 909 million pairs, leather
shoe uppers - 100 million pairs and non-leather footwear - 1056 million pairs). India
exports about 115 million pairs. Thus, nearly 95% of its production goes to meet its
own domestic demand.

COMPANY ANALYSIS

SESHADRIPURAM INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES

Page 21
FORTUNE ELASTOMERS Pvt. Ltd .
COMPANY PROFILE
3.1 VKC GROUP OF COMPANIES
“VKC group of companies are the leading footwear manufacture especially
in southern region of India. The group established on (August17) 1984 with a nominal
capital and few employees. In 1984 the founder of the group Mr. V.K.C. Mammed
Koya started a Hawai Sheet manufacturing unit with his two brothers. Later on Hawai
straps were also inducted to the production line and in 1986 VKC group launched the
first product with its own brand name in the market viz. VKC Hawai with an initial
production of 600 pairs per day. By 1989 the production increased to 5000 pairs a day
and by 1996 it jumped to 17000 pairs.
In between the founder initiated the floating of the first RPVC (Rigid
Polyvinyl Chloride) footwear manufacturing unit in the Malabar Area of Kerala state
with few of his friends. This product also got very good acceptance in the market.
This resulted in a rapid change in the footwear industry itself. Within a few years the
number of Rubber and RPVC unit grew to more than 80 in this area.
In 1994 the group ventured the first unit in Kerala to manufacture footwear
from virgin PVC. This resulted in a drastic change and the multinational brands
confronted competitions from the local brands. In 1998 the group started the first

Some economists define production broadly as all economic activities other than
consumption. They see every commercial activity other than the final purchase as
some form of production
Production is a process, and as such it occurs through time and space. Because it is a
flow concept, production is measured as a “rate of output per period of time”. There
are three aspects to production processes;
A. The quantity of the commodity produced,
B. The form of the goods created,
C. The temporal and spatial distribution of the Commodity produced.

4.1.1.6 FACTORS OF PRODUCTION
The inputs or resources used in the production process are called factors of production
by economists. The myriad of possible inputs are usually grouped into 6 categories
these factors are;
•

Raw materials

•

Machinery

•

Labor services

•

Capital goods

•

Land

•

Entrepreneur
In the “long run”, all of these factors of production can be adjusted by the

management. The “short run”, however, is defined as a period in which at least one of
the factors of production is fixed.
A fixed factor of production is one whose quantity cannot readily be changed.
Examples include major pieces of equipment’s, suitable factory space, and key
managerial personnel.
A variable factor of production is one whose usage rate can be changed easily.
Examples include Electrical Power consumption, Transportation services, and most

maximum number of outputs that can be produced. In the long run, there are no scale
limitations.

  • 8. FORTUNE ELASTOMERS Pvt. Ltd . ECONONMIC SCENARIO 1.1 Introduction Manufacturing and industrial environments today are becoming increasingly dynamic and competitive. Companies are competing on a global scale in a fast moving world with customers demanding reliable delivery dates and high quality products and services as well as quick response to market changes. Suppliers are expected to deliver on time in increasingly small batches. To respond to these demands, businesses need to increases and productivity efficiency. This can be achieved through lead time and set up time reduction, through the implementation of rapid changeovers and through effective scheduling. In this new environment, cycle time reduction provides a key competitive advantage. Reduced cycle time can translate into increased customer satisfaction. Quick response companies can launch new products earlier, penetrate new markets faster, meet changing demands, and can deliver rapidly and on time. They can also offer their customers lower costs because quick response companies have efficient processes with low inventory and less obsolete stock. According to practical studies, halving the cycle time and doubling the work in progress inventory turns can increase productivity. Moreover, quartering the time for one step typically reduces costs. With reduced cycle times, quality improves too. Faster processes allow lower inventories which, in turn, expose weaknesses and increase the rate of improvement. After eliminating non value added transactions there are fewer opportunities for defects. Fast cycle time organizations experience more rapid feedback throughout the supply chain as downstream customers receive goods closer and closer to the time they were manufactured. On the other hand, businesses that do not pursue cycle time reduction do not merely stand still. They face the opposite of cycles of learning. When a company cannot manufacture quickly enough to respond to customer orders, they must institute forecasts. The longer the cycle time, the further out and less accurate the forecast becomes. Forecast errors because expediting to meet unexpected demand and the SESHADRIPURAM INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 8

  • 12. FORTUNE ELASTOMERS Pvt. Ltd . INDUSTRY ANALYSIS 2.1 HISTORY OF FOOTWEARS:Spanish cave drawings from more than 15,000 years ago show humans with animal skins or furs wrapped around their feet. The body of a well-preserved “ice-man” nearly 5,000 years old wore leather foot coverings stuffed with straw. Shoes, in some form or another, have been around for a very long time. The evolution of foot coverings, from the sandal to present-day athletic shoes are marvels of engineering, continues even today as we find new materials with which to cover our feet. Has the shoe really changed that much though? We are, in fact; still wear sandals – the oldest crafted foot covering known to us. Moccasins are still readily available in the form of the loafer. In fact, many of the shoes we wear today can be traced back to another era. The Cuban heel may have been named for the dance craze of the 1920s, but the shape could be seen long before that. Platform soles, which wear one of the most recognizable features of footwear in the 1970s and 1990s, were handed down to us from 16th century chopines. Then, high soles were a necessity to keep the feet off of the dirty streets. Today, they are worn strictly for fashion’s sake. The poulaine, with its ridiculously long toes was not that different from the winkle pickers worn in the 1960s. If one can deduce that basic shoe shapes have evolved only so much, it is necessary to discover why this has happened. It is surely not due to a lack of imagination – the colors and materials of shoes today demonstrate that. Looking at shoes from different parts of the world, one can see undeniable similarities. While the Venetians were wearing the chopine, the Japanese balanced on high-soled wooden shoes called Get. Though the shape was slightly different, the idea remained the same. The Venetians had no contact with the Japanese, so it was not a case of imitation. Even the mystical Chinese practice of foot binding had been copied (though to a lesser extent) in our culture. Some European women and men of the past bound their feet with tape and squashed them into too-tight shoes. In fact, a survey from the early 1990s reported that 88 percent of American women wear shoes that are too small! SESHADRIPURAM INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 12
