2. INTRODUCTION TO INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY AT
MANUFACTURING
Innovation engineering and other critical business processes assist manufacturers’ growth
strategies for reaching new markets, manufacturing new products and, ultimately, job
creation. Next generation strategies for manufacturers include: technology acceleration,
sustainability, supply chain, continuous improvement and workforce.
Manufacturers know they must focus on these strategies to ensure growth. However,
workforce development is often an afterthought. Historically misunderstood, the workforce
has been seen as fungible and expensive. The development of Scientific Management in the
1950s, based on the supposition that manufacturing workers need not think, but just “do”,
relegated the human capital element of manufacturing to simply just another input.
Not so today. Today, all manufacturing employees need to have soft skills as well as
technical skills, including emotional intelligence, communication skills, strength in cognition
and analysis, business acumen, and creative problem-solving skills. Supervisors are leaders,
not just technicians, and are required to be mentors, not simply bosses. Front-line workers
can be valued for their ideas, not just their output and, these days, as productivity reaches
its highest levels ever, should be recognized for their intrinsic value – something most often
seen as intangible and unquantifiable.
It’s hard to parse the tangible value of employees (labor) from the intangible value they
create (ideas, productivity, innovation, customer goodwill) because we traditionally don’t
use accounting measures that capture that value (although we can). We write off
recruitment, training, wages, salaries and benefits as expenses and don’t think of them as
investments similar to our capital investments in technology, facilities, marketing or supplies
that can be amortized over time and with innovation and growth in mind. Jonathan Low and
Pam Cohen Kalafut

describe in their list of intangibles to company performance that
relationships, human capital, intellectual capital and workplace organization, and culture all
affect business outcomes. It seems irresponsible to ignore them in this competitive global
economy and to not align and integrate our workforce systems with our other
business/production systems.
What a Means for Manufacturers to be consider to get
creativity?
Greater Productivity: Employees’ skills will become better aligned to the skills needed
by the company, resulting in greater effectiveness and efficiency in their operations.
• Better Trained Employees: As skill needs and requirements become standardized, and
employers gain more and better access to training customized to those requirements,
employees will be better-trained in industry-specific skills aligned to business goals.
• Reduced Turnover: With a focus on workforce development as a system, employees will
be better matched with their job descriptions, and with access to training and career
3. ladders, and they will be more inclined to stay where there are opportunities for
advancement.
• Better Pool of Job Applicants: As more community or regional resources are devoted to
training people in the appropriate skills needed for the company and industry, the
pipeline of qualified applicants will expand to support business growth.
• Cost Offsets: As productivity goes up, turnover goes down, processes become more
efficient, and barriers to productivity are reduced. With a workforce system in place,
workforce investments are optimized and risks minimized.
Manufacturers will share responsibilities, however, for achieving these kinds of outcomes.
They must:
• Identify Desired Goals and Outcomes for Their Company: They must get serious about
planning innovation and growth strategies and the specific outcomes they want to
achieve, and how their workforce will support those outcomes.
• Review Internal Processes for H.R. and Training: Manufacturers should create an
environment of continuous learning. Their company culture should reinforce workforce
development. They should pay market wages. They should have career ladders. They
should conduct employee satisfaction surveys annually.
• Communicate Expectations and Provide Honest Feedback: Are employees aware how
their performance impacts business goals? Are employees getting the feedback they
need to do the best job possible?
• Provide Access To and Understanding of The Company and Industry: Training
partners won’t know about a manufacturer’s business needs unless the manufacturers
can provide accurate job descriptions and skills needs, and allow for mentorships,
apprenticeships, internships and career events to get everyone aware of 21st century
manufacturing and its great jobs.
• Gather Data to Evaluate Efforts and Quantify Successes: We all know the saying:
“What gets measured is what matters”. Analytics are a must.
• Be A Champion for Workforce Development: Manufacturers and MEP Centers should
speak out on the importance of workforce development and workforce system analytics,
and get involved in value-added activities that will make change happen.

4. CREATIVE & INNOVATIVE HR PRACTICES AT
MANUFACTURING
I. INTRODUCTION
Innovative HR practices build competencies and capabilities for superior and winning
performances today and simultaneously create long term fertility for innovation of business
ideas and strategies for future.Employees who go the extra mile by performing spontaneous
behaviors that go beyond their role prescriptions are especially valued by the
management.This phenomenon is critical for organizational effectiveness because managers
cannot for see all contingencies or fully anticipates the activities that they may desire or
need employees to perform.
Enhancing an organization’s competitive ability is increasingly critical and behaviors, which
may improve individual and organizational efficiency, become more valuable. Although there
have been many studies of OCB in organizations, no known studies have examined the
linkage of individual innovativeness with OCB where the effect of superior–subordinate as a
mediator, is included.
II. INNOVATIVE HR LEADER PRACTICES
All managers have heard and read countless times how to build teams, empower your
workforce and develop trust. The common place human resource practices prevalent across
the entire business world are just as relevant to this business as any other. The HR policies
must be integrated with business policies. The HR Professionals must have balance in terms
of centralization or decentralization of HR practices are ethnocentric while others
management be geocentric or re-geocentric.
III. COMPANY WISE INNOVATIVE HR PRACTICES
COMPANY HR PRACTICES
BIRLA 3M 1. We encourage Two-way communication. We have something
called "Between us". Once in six months, the MD and the HR head
go to all the branch offices.
2. The MD talks about the business and request the people's
involvement in fulfilling the organization's dreams. HR head talks
about the new HR policies and then there is an open discussion.
3. Employees can express themselves on whatever issues they have
with regard to work. If there are sensitive issues, which they don't
want to discuss openly, they can write and give those without their
names. The question is read, and the answer given. The paper on
which the question is written, is destroyed then and there, to make
sure that nobody tries to trace the handwriting of the person or in
any way recognize him/her.
WIPRO
TECHNOLOGIES
1. Every four months we conduct an employee survey where all our
employees provide inputs on the health of the workplace. This
5. survey enables us to identify how strongly the person feels about
the organization, and how strong is the person’s clarity of his/her
existence in the organization. It also enables us to see the
person’s own ability to identify with the vision of the organization,
and whether he thinks the organization listens to what he has to
say. He also reveals whether he feels that his supervisor takes
interest in his/her development, has he/she received any word of
praise from the boss for a good job done and so on. This proves to
be an eye opener for the managers as well.
2. We have the HR review in the planning cycle, which is a rigorous
process involving everyone, right up to the head of the
organization. We do succession planning for individuals wherein
we identify the best talents – the top ten people. We also
identify our bottom ten people, who are asked to pull up their
socks and improve, failing which they will have to leave.We carry
out this exercise every quarter and this enables us to be well
informed about our people asset
IV. EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION POLICY BY HR IN THE COMPANY

6. V. SOME OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS WHICH AN HR NEED TO
CONSIDER FOR CREATIVITY & INNOVATIONS.
VI. CONCLUSION
Finally I conclude that in the competitive world the organization should have the innovative
ideas then only it can lead the organization very successful. Human Resource leader should
follow creative practices that practices should help to develop the employer as well as
employee. Then only the organization can run successful.

corporate values of the Nestlé Group, specifically in the area of interpersonal relations.
Their respect calls for specific attitudes which deserve to be outlined in the present policy:

Dabur
At Dabur, the Human Resources department supports the business operations and helps
enhance performance parameters for each employee. Special care is taken in nurturing
talent, promoting entrepreneurship among employees and motivating employees to
innovate and improve their performance through an innovative reward and recognition
programme called ‘Applause’. The objectives of this scheme are:
To reward contribution of employees beyond normal monetary rewards
To recognize and applaud for immediate recognition
To promote positive behaviors in the organization
9. Under this scheme, awards are presented in five categories, namely:
Rising Star: Most promising new comer award
Trailblazers: Employee of the half-year
Honors Club: Employee of the year
SPOT Recognition: On the spot recognition for wonderful job done
Eureka: An Idea Generation Award
"Instead of rewarding people on annual basis, we have devised a mechanism for instant
gratification, thereby we would recognise our employees' performance and reward them
instantly," Dabur India Executive Director (Human Resource) A Sudhakar said.
It is a step towards continuous motivation of employees, which is aimed at increasing
employee engagement level from 67 per cent to 72 per cent, he added.

Samsung
HR Philosophy
The talent Samsung SDI pursue is a man of nature and systemizing personnel who is well
aware of his world task being as a member of the international society; paying regard to
one's personality and individuality, giving full scope to his/her creativity and capability to
carve out his/her infinite future and ultimately contribute to human development.
Leadership
Having firm belief to take the initiative leading the 21st centuryA creative and defiant talent
to open up one's life to fulfill the goal with strong will, enthusiasm and confidenceA talented
man with individualistic characters, flexible mind, abundant imagination, challenging and
pioneering spiritThat is a man of creativity improving one's future based on creation and
cooperation; with enterprising spirit who constantly seeks for his/her improvement and
leading changes accepting new ideas openly and who gives vitality and freshness to the
organization and society.
Rewards
Samsung, for instance, has devised a scheme for employees at its plants in Noida and
Chennai that results in real-time innovations. Main line operators of various divisions such
10. as mobile handsets, TV sets, and air conditioners are encouraged to offer suggestions for
improving the manufacturing process for which they are suitably rewarded. "We get about
6,000 to 7,000 ideas from our workers in Noida," says Devinder Sharma, Samsung's Plant HR
head. Rajni, who works in the main line operations at Samsung's headset plant in Noida,
won an award this May for suggesting the use of a supporting device for handsets during
the SIM insertion process, which earlier needed a second worker. The supporting device
allows her to work on two handsets at a time, and shortens the assembling time from 7.5 to
six seconds. It takes six seconds at Rajni's stage. The timings may be different for other
stages. In a number-intensive manufacturing process, that is critical.
Creative and innovation in Tata Manufacturing Industry:
Established in 1907, Tata Steel is a Fortune 500 company and among the top ten
global steel enterprises, with a crude steel capacity of more than 28 million tonnes
per annum. It is one of the world’s most geographically diversified steel producers,

Committed to improving the quality of life of communities through programmes in
areas such as health, education, vocational training
When Tata Motors Chairman Ratan Tata inaugurated the new paint shop at Tata
Motors’ Jamshedpur plant in March 2010, he was especially pleased. The project was
one after the chairman’s own heart — it used a new, innovative and immensely
environmental-friendly approach to the plant’s paint pre-treatment process by using
nanotechnology.
Innovation :

products. Today, with over 2,000 engineers and scientists and an ever-growing focus
on the next big idea, Tata Motors has spread its R&D efforts to Pune, Jamshedpur,
Lucknow, South Korea, Spain and the UK where it has centres.
Knowledge innovation at Tata Manufacturing Industry:
The company’s innovation programme is inspired by two concepts namely, there is
always a better way and secondly production of knowledge is our priority. These two
mantras have been internalised by all employees in order to achieve superior
performance continuously. An intranet knowledge management site which captures,
validates and stores knowledge, and also makes it available to users on demand,
assists them in the process. “Knowledge sharing is also done by directly sharing
experiences in departmental meetings, divisional councils and in share-your-
knowledge forums,” says Kamath.
The primary drivers for this investment were the availability of magnesite in China
and the need to manufacture and supply cost-effective mag-C bricks to customers.
