 ABSTRACT (14 Pts.)
(Max. 1500 Words)
Economic liberalization is finding greater roots and globalization of economy is becoming a
worldwide phenomenon, thus the present scenario calls for the optimum utilization of the best
possible resources. This can be made possible by evaluating the capacity utilization which is
considered as an index of the efficiency of an industry. (12 Pts.)

 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION (14 PTS.)
1.1 INTRODUCTION (12 PTS.)
(12 PTS.) Economic liberalization is finding greater roots and globalization of economy is becoming a
worldwide phenomenon. The expectations of human beings have risen tremendously. Today the world is
moving from an era of separate national economies to the networked global economy. The challenge of
globalization can be summarized as “Increase in Productivity”. Improving productivity levels in industries
is a necessity for survival and economic growth of any country. But now the scenario has been totally
changed. Due to rapid urbanization, industrialization and consequent rise in social status, the rate of
consumption of various resources is increasing every year; it calls for the need to initiate sustained efforts
to develop alternative sources of supply through research and development. The efforts are still going on
for finding out alternative sources of supply, it becomes more important to utilize the available resources
in the most efficient and effective way.
Today Indian industries are facing lot of problems. Productivity levels are alarmingly low in most of the
industries due to multiple reasons. These include low capital investment, low capital-labour ratio, low
level of capacity utilization, government regulations, low work ethics, high energy costs etc (Singh, 2008).
Use of various resources such as materials, energy, manpower and capital is so much interlinked with each
other that waste of one resource causes the wastage of other resource too. Material scrap while wasting the
money spent on material also wastes energy, man hours, machine hours and other inputs spent on its
processing. Energy is wasted in industry in variety of ways. Besides the energy spent on scrap, rework of
products, and on producing excessive chips, idle running of motors and heat wastages. Manpower
employed plays major role towards resource utilization, particularly in industries where automation is in
infancy. Any error at the planning or execution stage results in wastage of materials, energy and capital
(Chauhan, 2009).
