Journal Title: International Journal of Sales & Marketing Management Research and Development (IJSMMRD) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
The knitwear industry plays a significant role in the economies of the majority of the countries. The Indian knitting industry is one of the most innovative global producers of knitwear. Ludhiana Knitwear Cluster had been significant due to its vast production capacity and contribution to the economy and export market as well. Human capital forms an integral part of the industry and almost all industries gamble on this essential element to attain success. The present study made an effort to study the working efficiency of the production labour and impediments faced by them. Eight medium sized knitwear units of Ludhiana were surveyed. The data obtained from 120 respondents elucidates that the working efficiency of the labour was low to moderate because of lack of technical skills and training. Common problems identified in majority production workers were lack of training, incentives, less remuneration and uncomfortable working aids. Based on the results of collecting data it is inferred that need based trainings and a minimum educational background are mandatory for increasing working efficiency amongst production labour.
