Ensuring
Productivity
The construction industry’s annual
productivity growth has only increased by
1 percent in the past 20 years. This number
is even more impressive when compared
with growth of 2.8 percent for the total world
economy and 3.6 percent in the case of
manufacturing.
The construction sector in India is often
associated with poor labor productivity, yet
the underlying causes of this challenge are
rarely examined. Let’s delve into the reasons
behind low productivity.
One significant factor contributing to limited
productivity is the imbalance between
contracted labor and in-house labor.
This imbalance affects the efficiency and
effectiveness of construction projects.
Additionally, there is a shortage of skilled
labor in the industry, further impeding
productivity. The absence of comprehensive
labor welfare policies adds to the difficulties
faced by workers, impacting their motivation
and output.
Ensuring safe working conditions is
another crucial area that needs attention.
Furthermore, the reluctance of companies
and contractors to adopt the latest
technologies and tools contribute to
low productivity. Cost concerns, fear of
managing changes, and the additional
requirement of training workers often deter
the adoption of innovative solutions that
could significantly enhance productivity.
Addressing these underlying issues is
crucial for improving labor productivity in the
Indian construction sector. By addressing
labor ratios, investing in skill development,
implementing comprehensive welfare
policies, ensuring safer work environments,
and embracing technological advancements,
the industry can overcome the productivity
challenges it currently faces.
Hilti’s expert solution
that aided productivity.
Name of the project: Glass Facade Panels
Assembling & bracket installation With Glass Wall
Systems
Problem faced by the customer:
Glass Wall Systems is the leading fabricator for facades.
In their manufacturing plant, they traditionally used
pneumatic machines, which were known for their high
performance, safety, and affordability. However, they
encountered various issues, such as frequent air leaks,
tool breakdowns, reduced flexibility in movement, and
significant screw damages caused by uncontrollable
torque. These challenges had always been a concern
for them. Additionally, the long pipes scattered across
the floor had become a major safety issue for them.
Hilti’s expert solution that aided
productivity:
After a detailed analysis of their current fleet and
processes, their entire tool park was converted into
an optimized cordless battery-operated Hilti tools
combined with Hilti Fleet Management Services.
This not only helped the customer to boost their
productivity but also reduce costs. The innovative
battery-operated tools gave them a lot of flexibility to
work, improved workplace safety, reduced their screw
damages, reduced fatigue, which finally improved their
productivity. While battery hardware gave them an
effortless experience of working, Fleet Service offering
added a method to their workflow.
