Elective - E-Commerce
With a host of successful
online merchants driving the category, web-only is still poised for
extraordinary growth in the years to come. But in the current economic climate,
only the stronger contenders, namely those who understand their customers’
changing needs, will continue to thrive. Consumers now increasingly call for
providers and products they can trust. They favor established goods, look for
tangible deals and incentives, and spend more time on online research and
purchase decisions than ever before. The challenge for web-only merchants will
be to adapt to these changing needs.
Leveraging your insights
into online consumer behavior, design and technology, how will you make sure
your web-only presence inspires trust, streamlines customer decision processes,
and ensures long term user loyalty to build a business that is tailored to
current requirements, yet easily adaptable to dynamically changing conditions?

conducted between the GM (Works) and the Chairman of the Company, the GM
(Works) explained that many things are happening in the Company about which he
is ignorant, particularly the preparation, new product integration, etc. He
agrees to the view that the Company is interested in high-growth and
high-profit, but he has never been given an opportunity to review his own
scheme of things and explain to the top management. The production culture of
the company has never been assessed whereas the stringent rules are being
directed by the finance and personnel departments. And sometimes, show cause
notices are being served to supervisors and senior employees. The Company is
introducing new products without assessing the capability of the manufacturing
system and the resources.

Elective- Industrial Safety Engineering
In a manufacturing plant
of a global automotive company with headquarters in Pune, a large number of
engineering activities are carried out in a wide range of areas. These
activities include design, production of parts, assembly, testing, and quality
assurance. Many of the manufacturing processes in the plant are performed using
automated technologies and equipment. People also perform some of the
manufacturing tasks and the plant employs over 400 workers. The decision on
whether people or machines will be used for a particular task is dependent on
many factors, including costs, time, quality and worker health and safety.
The plant considered here
produces a many parts for vehicles and assembles them. Among the parts produced
are engine materials and parts, pumps, fans, some exterior parts, and
electronics components. The plant normally operates three shifts per day and
has production lines including machining equipment, conveyers and overhead
cranes, punch presses, and paint-spray booths.
The plant utilizes
electricity and natural gas extensively.
A number of workers at
the plant have over the last six months been subject to several different
health problems. The following information has been received by the head engineer
at the plant.
a) In an assembly area
that was installed recently, workers have to bend to the ground throughout the
day to attach several small parts onto a large and heavy vehicle component.
Some workers have begun to develop lower back pain, likely due to the
repetitive bending. The problem has become so severe for one of the workers
that he has been told by his doctor to stay off work for two weeks so his back
can recover. The manufacturing engineers who designed the assembly operation
had wanted to use an automated system, but that option was deemed not to be
economic. So they used a manual operation, but did not take into account
industrial ergonomics, as they had no expertise in that discipline.
b) An increased incidence
of respiratory illnesses has been reported over the last month by workers
operating near the paint-spray booths. Many of the substances used in the
booths (paints, solvents, etc.) are known to be causes of the observed
respiratory illnesses. But the workers are not supposed to come into contact
with any of the substances because the paint-spray booths are designed to
ensure that all materials exit the plant through a high capacity ventilation
system and that no materials can leak back into the plant. No tests had been
carried out on the ventilation system, or on the air quality around the paint
spray booths, so it is uncertain whether or not there have been any leaks into
the plant from the paint-spray booths.
c) In an area of the
plant where metal cutting occurs and workers use protective eyewear, workers
have reported minor eye injuries. The area in question is one where it is
common knowledge that the workers do not routinely use the protective eyewear.
It is often observed to be hanging on nearby hooks or to be loosely hanging around
the necks of workers. Workers complain that they find the protective eyewear
uncomfortable and do not think it is needed or important. The plant manager
knows of this behaviour but overlooks it, since enforcing the use of the
protective eyewear seems may make the workers unhappy and, consequently, less
productive. That, he feels, could render the plant non-competitive.
Discuss:
a) How
would you go about investigating the causes of the observed health problems?
b) What
are the unsafe conditions and acts in the plant?
c) Which
of the unsafe conditions and acts identified in part b are (1) of a technical
nature, or (2) related to human behavior or management?
d) What
are some steps can be taken to rectify the health problems observed?
e) Should
the head engineer Endeavour to rectify the health problems on her own, or
should she report the problems to the plant manager beforehand? The head
engineer is not sure if she will receive the support of the plant manager in rectifying
the problems; what should she do if support is not provided?
f) Do
you feel that some of the health problems that have occurred are due to worker
health and safety being unduly compromised to allow the plant to be more
productive or profitable?
Elective - Port and shipping management
For establishing a new port with the goal of creating a world-class port in India and indeed, it clearly has an edge over other Indian ports with respect to both infrastructure and performance. However, it suffers from some of the inherent drawbacks ailing the Indian port sector that can prevent it from achieving world standards in port efficiency. As the most modern among Indian ports, and also the one with the least labor problems, the natural choice as a test case in privatization of port operations. Discuss the key reforms needed for establishing such a port, w.r.t. their formulation and implementation. The process must be designed and optimally sequenced with active participation of a wide range of actors and capability to enhance efficiency of the public terminal through the introduction of intra-port competition and must succeed in earning the distinction of being the world largest container port.
