India, which has long been recognized as a well-endowed nation in natural mineral resources, is a major minerals producer. According to the report of Indian Ministry of Mines 2013, Indian mining and metals sector ranked the fourth among the mineral producer countries, behind China, United States, and Russia and had in fact led the economy into recovery from the global financial crisis. Since this industry has turned into a significant issue, this paper attempts to rank the performance of 23 Indian mining and metal companies and to evaluate and measure the productivity change of these sectors during different time periods (2010–2014). Besides, the authors would like to choose one advanced model of MPI to see the performance of these companies in the past-present period and the 4-year future period (2015–2018) by using forecasting results of Grey system theory. The results revealed that from the past to future period the National Mineral Development Corporation, Hindalco Industries Limited, and Coal India always keep their highest best rankings among 23 DMUs regarding performance scores. This study contributes better insights of Indian mining industry as it is the core of the economy.

“…A general equation based on man-hours is defined for the other factors in which labour productivity plays an important role. 1 This equation provides the results of labour productivity according to the units responsible for labour utilisation and is given below where (1) or Q/L R ; output/total man-hours (2) or Q/L S ; standard productivity (output/standard man-hours), which is a parameter of production management and under the management's responsibility (3) or LS/LE; labour productivity which reflects labour contribution to the productivity (4) or L E /L R9 ; effective man-hours/man-hours input, which is under front-line supervisor (5) or L R9 /L R ; man-hours input/total man-hours input (6) or L S /L R9 ; process productivity, which shows the efficiency of labour resource utilisation in the front-line operations (7) or L E /L R ; effective man-hours/total man-hours input (8) or L S /L R ; total process productivity, which will be developed by the WPMR system for final and total process productivity. In this equation:…”

“…8 Productivity management is also a fundamental activity in business management. 7,[9][10][11] Thus, the other related controlling activities are centred on productivity management. The Labour Productivity Management by Ratio (WPMR) system is a typical framework in productivity management in terms of labour resources.…”

“…4,5 Thus, the development of a reliable measurement of labour productivity is very important in defining the problems and hence reducing the cost and increasing the productivity for any industrial activity. 6,7 The correct identification of the drivers of productivity is essential in adopting the correct approach to policy decisions to improve performance. Hence, a measurement is required which quantifies the differentials that are predicted qualitatively by theory.…”

Although labour productivity problems are thought of as a factor mainly caused by the lack of commitment by the labour force, it essentially arises by a process in which several parameters are interrelated such as the effects of legislation, management and labour responsibility. In the present study, the method of Labour Productivity Management by Ratio (WPMR) was used to assess labour productivity at the lignite mining company, GLE-Turkey, since this method takes into account the factors affecting labour productivity. The method was applied to the stripping area of GLE-Turkey in order to measure and interpret the labour productivity in this mine. A major conclusion of the present investigation was that labour productivity at GLE was found to be lower than should be expected. It was also found that most of the labour productivity losses were related to both legislative restrictions and the lack of management and supervision.

“…There are three approaches for measuring the improvement in productivity: index number approach, parametric approach and nonparametric approach (Mongia and Sathaye, 1998;Hailu and Veeman, 2001). The studies conducted in mining sector on productivity have generally been applied in coal mining (Szwilski, 1988;Darmstadter, 1997;Flynn, 2000;Kulshreshtha and Parikh, 2001) due to the fact that data can be collected more easily in this sector. However, there seems to be no productivity measurement study on the boron sector according to the researches of present authors.…”

Türkiye Bor Madenciliğinin Toplam Verimlilik ve Karlılık Analizleri Öz Verimlilik, işletme performanslarını belirlemek için kullanılan temel göstergelerden biridir. Türkiye'de Bor Madenciliği sektöründe kârlılığın yüksek olması verimlilikle ilgili çalışmaların göz ardı edilmesine yol açmıştır. Bor pazarının yapısı ve ürün gamının birbiriyle ikame edebileceği kalitesinden ötürü, rekabetten kaynaklanacak gelecekteki muhtemel fiyat düşüşleri verimlilik ölçüm ve değerlendirme çalışmalarına dikkat çektiği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Fisher Ideal Index kullanılarak "Toplam Verimlilik ve Karlılığın Analizi için Toplam Endeks (AIPR)" adı verilen model yeniden yapılandırılmıştır. Geliştirilen model, verimlilik açısından mevcut durumu görmek ve üretkenliği artırmak için hangi noktalara odaklanılacağını belirlemek amacıyla, 1980 ve 2001 yılları arasında Türkiye Bor Madencilik Sektörüne uygulanmıştır. Sektörün kârlılık ve verimlilik düzeyinin temel yıla göre yüksek olduğu ve teknolojik değişimin yüksek verimlilikte lider rolü oynadığı saptanmıştır. Ayrıca bu çalışmada, Türkiye Bor Madencilik Sektörünün girdi parametreleri ile verimlilik ve karlılık endeksleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek için istatistiksel analizler yapılmıştır.
