The number of working days varies each year, peaking in 2019-20 (206 days) and dropping significantly in 2020-21 (142 days).
The decrease in working days in 2020-21 may suggest external factors (e.g., disruptions like COVID-19).
2. Number of Workers:
The workforce size has remained stable over the years, fluctuating slightly.
There was a gradual increase from 3980 workers in 2018-19 to 4130 in 2020-21, followed by a slight decline to 4100 in 2021-22.
3. Raw Material Costs:
Raw material costs have shown a steady decline year-over-year:
2018-19: 75.31
2019-20: 50.87
2020-21: 44.74
2021-22: 42.4
This reflects an almost 44% reduction over four years, indicating improved efficiency in material usage, better procurement strategies, or changes in production scales.
4. Cost of Human Power:
Human power costs fluctuated over the years:
Highest in 2019-20 at 31.06.
Lowest in 2020-21 at 23.27.
A slight rebound is observed in 2021-22 to 27.49, suggesting variability in wages, work hours, or productivity.
Conclusions:
1. Efficiency Improvements:
Both raw material and human power costs have decreased since 2018-19, indicating improvements in operational efficiency or better cost management practices.
2. Impact of Fewer Working Days in 2020-21:
The drop in working days (from 206 in 2019-20 to 142 in 2020-21) coincides with a reduction in both raw material and human power costs. This suggests decreased production activity, possibly due to external factors like the COVID-19 pandemic.
3. Raw Material Cost Decline:
The continuous reduction in raw material costs may indicate:
Optimization of raw material usage.
Sourcing of cheaper materials.
Scaling down of production due to fewer working days in certain years.
