Dear Dr. Gubbi,
You wanted to bring a stay order on the Minimum Wage Notification covering 20 minimum wage notifications. Predominantly, the list belongs to the manufacturing sector. General knowledge of this sector tells us that employee costs against total costs vary from 6-15%. Therefore, if the minimum wages are raised, what would be the impact on employee costs? Have you conducted this study? On what basis do you say that this would be a "steep" increase?
Observations on the Manufacturing Sector
My observations show that there are two important costs in manufacturing companies. One is the inventory cost of raw materials, and the other is the inventory cost of finished goods. Managing these two costs depends on how the company manages its supply chain. Mismanagement of the supply chain leads to a huge blockage of working capital. To manage the supply chain, it requires the usage of mathematical and statistical tools or techniques of Operations Research. Instead of taking these intellectual challenges, companies resort to tactics of not paying even minimum wages or raising objections when minimum wages are raised. Competitiveness can only be increased if principles of management are implemented and not by bearing a grudge against the workers who are paid the barest minimum.
In view of this, my request to you is to conduct a survey alongside. Whichever organization approaches you to include them in the stay order, ask them whether they have calculated these two costs scientifically and, if not, what is holding them back? A stay order is fine, but scientific management cannot be pushed under the carpet.
Importance of Inventory Turnover Ratio
The Inventory Turnover Ratio is one single ratio that speaks volumes. This ratio shows the coordination amongst various departments like purchase, production, and sales. It also shows the company's relationship with its vendors, the empowerment of procurement personnel, and so on. Notwithstanding all this, how many companies calculate this ratio scientifically? How many owners understand the significance of an increase in this ratio even by a unit? Please conduct a survey on this count also.
Thanks,
