Central Government is in the process of re-writing
Labour Laws
As a part of this process , Govt wants to re-define
" Manufacturing "
Eg:
Under the revised Factory Law , manufacturing is sought
to be re-defined as :
" Any
process or activity resulting in any alteration of original character , such as
nature, state, shape, size, usefulness, and/or making value addition to the
original material acted upon when subjected to the process or activity "
This new definition seeks to keep " packaging "
out of the purview of manufacturing !
This seems strange
Barring few very large " products " ( such as
Boilers / Reactors / Pressure Vessels ) , every other product has packaging as
its final operation , before leaving a factory gate
Then there are " factories " which do nothing
more than " package " a product , such as :
* Bottled mineral Water / Soft drinks / Milk /
Oils etc ( liquids of all kinds )
* Re-packing of
Bulk Chemicals / Powders in sachets (
solids of all kinds )
* Packing of
LPG gas / Oxygen / Industrial Gases in cylinders ( gases of all kinds )
* Filling of capsules / ampoules , with drugs
* Packing of
Vegetables in plastic shrink-wraps
I am sure , readers will find many similar items ,
where " packaging " is the ONLY process
Then here is a glimpse of the " Factories of
Future " :
* " Production
" of Vegetables in climate-controlled buildings ( existing in Japan )
* 3D printed
" Products " in thousands of " homes " ( designs downloaded
from internet )
* Warehouses (
Fulfillment Centers ) of Flipcart / SnapDeal / Amazon etc ( only deliveries )
* 3D printed , "
Mass-production " of buildings on
open plots of lands ( WinSun of China )
* Wind Farms /
Solar Power Farms / Geo-thermal power stations
And what about factories which are entirely operated by
robots ? No humans at all !
Such factories already exist
And factories where there is no " original
material " having some " original character " ?
Can someone come up with an example ?
So , what should we do ?
# Do not anchor " Factory Act " around " Manufacturing
Processes " ; however if you
must , then retain " packaging " as
legitimate manufacturing process in Factories Bill -
2014
# Re-name this
Act as " Human Enterprise Act " , and make it applicable to any
organization employing 100 or more persons ,
at a single location , irrespective of the ,
* "
Original Material " having any " Original Character "
* Any
" Alteration / Value Addition " taking place
* Subjecting
the material to any process ( physical or mental )
# Do not wait for 64 years to amend the Human
Enterprise Act
