Abstract

This research attempts to analyze the strategic HR practices and their impact on manufacturing performance taking reference of the Tube Products of India (TPI) a premium precision steel tubes manufacturer in Murugappa Group Chennai. Strategic HR Management (SHRM) has always been considered as a very strong driving force for effective functioning of any organization in today's competitive manufacturing environment. The study design was descriptive with quantitative research method, using primary data from 120 respondents through structured questionnaire on a 5- point Likert scale. The various HR practices that were being studied were Training & Development, Employee Performance Appraisal, Employee Engagement and Work Environment. Performance measurement of the manufacturing performance was measured on criteria such as Productivity, Quality, Efficiency and Retention. Descriptive statistics, cronbach's alpha reliability test, Pearson correlation analysis and Chi-Square test were applied in the study for statistical analysis. From the survey it has been proved that all the HR practices are positively and significantly related with performance parameters of manufacturing performance. Cronbach's Alpha obtained is 0.957 which showed a good internal reliability. Chi-Square tests also demonstrated that demographics of respondents does not appear to affect their responses on performance measure significantly. This study showed that strategic HR practices have strong impact on overall organizational manufacturing performance and employee productivity.

Keywords: Strategic HRM, Manufacturing performance, training & development, employee engagement, operational excellence, tube products of India.
