Change Order Pricing में Manual Bottleneck और Idle Capacity Loss
Definition
Shipyard workers and equipment sit idle during extended LoI-to-contract negotiation phases because final specifications and pricing are uncertain. This is compounded by India's structural disadvantage: outdated production methods, low automation, and weak supplier clusters requiring manual coordination. Result: capacity underutilization and workforce idle time during change order resolution.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹2-4 crore per month during 2-3 month change order cycle; estimated 8-12 weeks idle capacity per order = ₹4-12 crore annual loss per shipyard
- Frequency: Continuous; every active shipyard faces this during all major contract negotiations
- Root Cause: Manual vendor quote collection, lack of pre-finalized BOMs, absence of integrated pricing systems, outdated production scheduling, weak supplier ecosystem requiring serial coordination
