Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

KEEPING SCORE - III

Synopsis: Communication For Productivity
Letters written to some 7500 Workers / Managers / Union Leaders, following a period of strike / Go slow / Murders (1979 - 1987), at Mumbai factory of Larsen & Toubro Ltd. This direct / open / honest communication led to a remarkable atmosphere of trust between Workers and Management, which, in turn, increased productivity at 3% per year (ave).

Dear friends

Keeping Score - III


A few days back I congratulated all of you for bringing down the absenteeism in Powai.

Then I looked up my old circular of June 7, 1985 on the same subject and felt that I should separate out and tell you more about

"The Man-days lost due to unauthorised absence and authorised loss of pay (LOP) leave".

The following figures should impress upon you the need or some drastic action.

First let us look at the total man-days (unionised employees) available

This assumes that every Unionised employee will utilize his/her authorised leave-quota to the full.
And the leave quota is currently.

Now let us look at the man-days lost due to unauthorised (very bad!) absence and authorised loss-of-pay leave.





CONCLUSION :
How much did these (DR) workman lose by way
Wages* lost due to UA leave & LOP(DR)
*Wages(average) = Basic + DA + Spl.all + HRA
excludes : Conv allowances + Medical allowances, Work allowances, Bonus, LTA. etc.

And how much production did the Company lose because of this UA "Dandi" of the "DR" Workmen?
