STRATEGISING FOR FUTURE

2003-2004 was another landmark year for the Indian industry and in particular for the manufacturing sector. The year was marked by a phase of resurgence. Indias GDP growth of 8.2 per cent was one of the highest globally. Surge in demand was rampant across industries, especially in manufacturing, which was back with a bang. And for the first time in many years, manufacturing sectors significance in propping up such buoyancy became evident. Key aspect about manufacturing industrys performance was its efforts to achieve excellence in quality, technology, and customisation. This was apparent in a wide spread of sectors automobiles, auto components, electronics, telecom, white goods, defence, and more so in SSI and job-shops. Challenges for the machine tool industry were consequentially enormous to further support and strengthen the Indian manufacturing industry. There were also demands to integrate into machines special features such as TPM, lean manufacturing, etc. The machine tool industry responded and made relentless strides in improving performance, reliability, aesthetics, ergonomics, and other productive elements. IMTEX 2004 and Tooltech 2004 clearly manifested these efforts and showcased Indian industrys competitive face, its strengths and its world-class capabilities. It was heartening to hear comments at IMTEX and Tooltech 2004 that the industry has been a catalyst for enabling manufacturing industry to achieve excellence.

These have been made possible through concerted efforts and by focussing on the VISION exercise for achievable directions. New initiatives and programmes were developed at the industry level and within the Association to meet the goals enshrined by us in the VISION document. Thrust areas included productivity enhancement, export drive, capacity expansion, adoption of new manufacturing techniques, enabling competitiveness in new regions, and further encouragement of cluster initiatives. The National Programme for Development of Indian Machine Tool Industry continued to be the pillar of support for furthering the capabilities of the Indian machine tool industry, and extending its reach to new avenues.

Future To Be
While the future appears bright, there are major challenges and bottlenecks confronting the machine tool industry. There is high demand, with several machine tool manufacturers growing at 40 to 50 per cent. At the same time, there is also an increase in imports, which has been growing at an equally significant rate. Second, the emphasis on meeting internal demand surge is perhaps blunting our focus on exports. As a result, the Indian machine tool industry maybe missing out on establishing firm bases in key overseas machine tool markets. Third, there is an impending new regime comprising FTAs, PTAs, and further reducing import tariffs. Fourth, global issues of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Trade Related Intellectual Property (TRIPs) are eluding the Indian machine tool industry, which needs consideration. Fifth, an urgent need to leverage technology in a much more proactive manner. We, in the machine tool industry, need to come together to look at these key challenges and develop strategies to combat them both at the industry and at the company level. I pose below a few key issues, which we may have to confront :

Current Scenario
Indian machine tool industry is today on a higher growth trajectory. Most domestic manufacturers have their handsfull with business; several with six to nine months of order intake. A few manufacturers have even envisaged doubling their current turnover to meet the increased demand.

ANNUAL REPORT 2003 - 2004

How would industry meet the demand surge? Should the industry increase capacities and what are the risk perceptions? Is our current focus on domestic market (because of high demand) weakening our global ambition? What should the industrys strategy be on building capability for new product development, design, and innovation? What should be the strategy on technology development / adoption? What should the industrys response be on aspects such as IPR, TRIPs in the context of the global market? How do we tackle the onslaught of rising imports, and what were to happen should tariffs be furthered lowered? Are we preparing ourselves for the impending FTAs / PTAs? Are we building / strengthening our firm-level business processes to achieve global competitiveness?

Adieu
The last four years have been indeed very rewarding for me : first two as Vice President and subsequent two as President of IMTMA. It has been a great learning experience for me personally, to steer the affairs of IMTMA since August 2002. I share the achievements and accomplishments of the Association, with all my colleagues in the IMTMA Executive Committee, especially with our Vice President, Mr. C. P. Rangachar, who has been by my side throughout these last two years. It was equally gratifying to have the untiring guidance of all the Past Presidents of the Association. I would also like to place on record my appreciation to the Associations Secretariat, for their enduring advice, assistance, and support. As I lay down the office of Presidency at the forthcoming Annual Session, I commit my whole-hearted support to my successor and to the new Executive Committee, for successfully strategising for a brighter future.

There may not be ready answers for all these issues; yet these need to be addressed with clear strategy. And we may need to develop one now to reap the benefits for tomorrow. This would certainly be the first step towards excellence as well as for achieving the objectives as spelt out in the VISION document. This strategic initiative could also be part of the Associations agenda for the immediate future.

North India Machine Tool Consortium

Buoyed by the upshot of the Bangalore machine tool cluster programmes, IMTMA members in the northern region came together to form the North India Machine Tool Consortium (NIMTC). Comprising 20 members, NIMTC was constituted with the objective of increasing volumes, enhancing quality, and reducing costs through a partnership approach. NIMTC members identified four major initiatives that could be undertaken. These included cost reduction - through common procurement; sharing best practices through visit to each others plants; customer interface in the northern region; and specialised workshops for cluster members on topics such as ISO, marketing strategies, facilitation with SIDBI, etc. At its first meeting, NIMTC decided to take on common vendorisation programme as the first activity. Towards this, three groups were constituted on items related to paints, sheet metal / guarding, and hydraulic elements. The three groups are currently seeking detailed inputs from NIMTC members for firming up common procurement initiative.

Workshop on Failure Mode and Effect Analysis

In todays competitive market environment, the industry has realised the fact that servicing unreliable products is a costly proposition. To a large extent, the reliability is built into the product during the design and development phase. FMEA can be effectively applied in case of new developments, new technologies and components/assemblies of products, which may have inherent problems showing up in practice.

Mumbai Machine Tool Cluster

With a view to promoting a cluster in the western region, the Association instituted a Mumbai Machine Tool Cluster in 2004. The cluster has identified as its key focus area e-sourcing of materials and components for mutual business enhancement.

WORLD MACHINE TOOL SCENARIO IN 2003

The emerging might of the Asian contenders and especially Japans superlative performance upped the global machine tool output by 13 % in 2003. The top 30 machine tool manufacturing countries clocked a turnover of 36.3 billion US Dollars during January - December 2003. Countries that posted double-digit growth rates were Japan, China, Taiwan, South Korea and India. It was Japan, yet again, which moved into the top spot in US Dollar volume output of machine tools. Japans Yen-based gain of 20 % as against Germanys Euro-based decline by 10 %, assisted the former in regaining the numero uno slot from the latter. Together, the worlds two largest machine tool manufacturing countries - Japan and Germany, accounted for 42 % of the total turnover of all countries in 2003. This is an increase of two percentage points over the previous year. For Italy, the third largest country, it turned out to be a strange performance. Output showed a decline in local currency (Euro). When measured in US Dollars, the country registered an 11 % increase in turnover. And for China, the good got better with a 24 % gain in output from the 2002 levels. It was also a good year for United States of America - the fifth largest machine tool manufacturing country. The slide in production appeared to have tapered off. There are expectations abound of the country making a strong comeback by end of 2004. As a region, Asian builders muscled together to account for 42 % of the total world output in 2003, compared to 37 % in the previous year. By contrast, the west European bloc slipped to 49 % of the world turnover, from 51 % in 2002.

growth over previous year. Japanese rebound in production was matched with a gain in exports - traditionally tied to US market. Of the top ten leaders in machine tool production, all except US and Switzerland made varying gains in exports, when measured in US Dollars. For the US, the export-toproduction ratio slipped a bit to 40 % in 2003. Switzerland and Taiwan continued to be the aggressive exporting countries in the world, with the value of exports exceeding 80 % of domestic production. China dominated the list of machine tool importing countries. Value of its imports accounted for over 11 % of the total global turnover. United States was at a distant second followed by Germany. The emerging destination for imports was South Korea, which grew by 70 % in US Dollars terms, to be positioned at the fourth slot in 2003. Of the 32 countries in the trade position, 14 of them improved the balance of trade in 2003 - either to a higher position or a less negative unfavourable balance. Japan improved its positive balance, while China worsened its negative balance in trade.
