Micromax Presentation

The foreman analyzed a random sample of 50 display screens from Micromax's initial production run. He found the mean screen size was 4.852 inches with a standard deviation of 0.211 inches, indicating variability from the target size of 4.8 inches. Only 13 screens (26%) were exactly 4.8 inches, while the rest deviated either above or below this size. This suggests Micromax's production process is not consistently manufacturing screens at the specified 4.8 inch size.

CASE STUDY :

 Micromax, an Indian consumer electronics company, based in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, was involved in manufacturing of mobile
phones, tablet computers,3G Data cards and LED Televisions. Its product portfolio included more than 60 models. As of 2013,the
company had made its presence pan-India as well as globally including nations like Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. The company which
was founded as an IT software company in 2000 by a group of four friends had grown to become one of the leading domestic mobile
handset manufacturing companies in India. In 2010,within 2 years of its entry into the mobile handset business in 2008, the company had
become one of the leading companies with its focus on low cost technology and innovation. Since its inception in2008, Micromax
imported devices from China. With a mere 0.59% market share in mobile handset business in India during the first half year of its
existence, the company had grown to achieve 6.24%by the end of March 2010.1 According to International Data Corporation (IDC),
Micromax ’share of the smartphone market increased from18.8% in fourth quarter 2012 to 22% in the first quarter of 2013. Micromax
positioned itself at No.2position in the second quarter of 2013 with shipments crossing 2 million units. The company had sales of INR 3,168
crore in 2012 and planned to become a billion dollar company by financial year 2014.To adhere to its growth plans and strategies, the
company planned to start assembly of mobile phones in India locally by the first quarter of 2014and to introduce over 20 devices in the
first half of2014. “We have a plant in Rudrapur and have already started assembling of phones on trial basis there. It will be
commercially launched in the first quarter of next year,” said Rahul Sharma, Co-founder of Micromax.2 During the trial assembly
operations (Annexure I), due to the variability in the process, it is likely that every 4.8inch display screen does not contain exactly 4.8
inch display. Some may have more than 4.8 and others less. A foreman tests a random sample of 50 display screens from the first production
runs to determine how close they are to the 4.8 inch specification. From the collected data (Exhibit I), the foreman analyses the
measures of central tendency and variability. Based on this analysis, he decides how the process is working.

INFERENCE

As per our analysis of the test run, we can derive that the screen size of 4.8 inch are not being
manufactured accurately and there are a lot of discrepancies. Hence, we can conclude that the Rudrapur
plant is not ready to function at its optimum capacity.
