MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

COMPANY BACKGROUND

 

Subject designs, manufactures and also exports electronic products. These include subsystems, modules, box builds, besides complex electronic components. Subject serves customers engaged in mission critical and enterprise solutions with advanced tailor-made technologies. These range from Defense and Aerospace to Industrial, Communications, Automotive and Medical and Wellness applications. Subject has been steadily increasing its product and service range, geographical reach and catering to increased industry segments in its goal to expand its offerings and become the sophisticated one stop shop OEMs are seeking. With extensive design and development expertise and edge enabling technologies. Subject is now the industry leader in India in electronics solutions and components. The strategy over the years has been consistent and is based on high customer focus with competent people, state of the art technology and high quality products. Subject vision is “To Create Value by contributing to the Success of its Customers, by providing best-in-class Electronics Design and Manufacturing Solutions in high technology areas”

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Broadly, the electronics industry is categorized under Consumer, Medical, Strategic electronics, Communications,

Automotive and Industrial segments

 

As a company they operate in Strategic Electronics, Communication, Industrial, Medical and Wellness industry segments.

 

STRATEGIC ELECTRONICS

 

DEFENSE

 

The Indian Defense Budget is increasing year on year both in terms of the total value and also as a percentage of the budget allocation itself. Of the total defense budget, the percentage of expenditure towards Capital head is increasing every year creating an even bigger opportunity for the defense market. Also studies show that Indian defense market is one of the most attractive defense markets in the world. The Armed forces, till recently, procured their requirements either from direct imports or products developed by DRDO labs and product ionized by defense PSUs or the Ordnance factories. Due to Government of India’s focus on self reliance, new opportunities are emerging. To accelerate the process of self reliance, DRDO labs are partnering with private industries in designing new products and also willing to transfer technologies of complex products which hitherto they were partnering only with PSUs or Ordnance Factories Till recently, the indigenous defence manufacturing was restricted to Defense Public Sector Units and Ordnance Factories only. However, in the recent past, the Government is encouraging the private industry participation. Due to increasing requirements, the Defense PSUs and the Ordnance Factories are also actively working with the private industry to create new capacities and capabilities. The Defense Procurement Policy (DPP) of Government of India has created a huge opportunity for Indian industries. Due to this policy the international suppliers of defense products to India are actively looking to procure from high quality companies in the defense segment to meet their offset obligations. Also in some cases, the DPP calls for Buy and  Make requirements, due to which many multinational companies are planning to manufacture the products in India either thro’ licensing agreement or joint ventures.

 

SPACE

 

India has a space program which is very vibrant and successful. The Government of India has given the Indian Space Programme a special status and the budget allocation in the 11th Plan period is 300% higher than the 10th Plan period. The number of satellite launches by the Indian Space Agency has been increasing steadily in the last few years and ISRO plans to launch eight satellites per year in the near future. Until recently ISRO manufactured the systems and subsystems in-house or imported them. However, due to the increased requirements coupled with Govt.’s focus on self reliance ISRO, is actively involved in developing the private industry in meeting their increasing requirements.

 

STRATEGIES AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

As a strategy, the company operates in Space, Defense, Aerospace, (Strategic Electronics), Industrial, Communication and Medical Electronics. This is to ensure that the company is not dependent on any one industry segment alone. Also, the strategy of the company is to operate in high technology areas only.

 

The products and  services that the  company offers can be classified broadly into “Built to Spec” (BTS) and “Built to Print” (BTP) opportunities.

 

BTS

 

Under this business model, the customer gives only the specifications and the company designs, develops prototypes and manufactures the product. As design is the critical factor in functioning of the product, the Value Add is generally higher than the BTP business. However, as the design and development phase involves multiple iterations and certifications, the lead time to take this to mass production is generally long. All of the current communications business which is done by the subsidiary, most of the space business and some of the defense business that the company is involved in, fall under this category.

 

BTP

 

In this business model, the customer supplies the design and the company builds the product to the design provided by the customer. The critical success factor of the BTP model is operational excellence thro’ efficient supply chain management and lean manufacturing practices. As the design is ready, generally the ramp to the production phase is quicker. All of the current Industrial business, most of the defense business and some of the space business that the company is involved in, fall under this category.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK:

 

STRATEGIC ELECTRONICS

 

The company has established itself as a major player in the Strategic Electronics arena. The strategy will be to continue to consolidate and grow this business thro’ innovation, design, technology, quality and overall competitiveness. Over the years, the company has designed and manufactured systems and modules for the Strategic Electronic industry by delivering advanced and complex products many of which are, for the first time by an Indian company.  Their strategy for this business has been and will continue to co-develop new products with ISRO and DRDO Labs. The advantage of this approach is the company’s product will get designed in and will have good potential when the final product goes into production phase, The other approach for this business is to indigenize products that are currently being imported and the advantage with this is that once the product is developed it immediately goes into production quantities.  The other opportunity in the strategic electronics is that of “off-set” and they see significant potential in this.

 

INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS

 

The Company’s strategy for this market is to focus on high mix medium-to-low volume opportunities which need very high quality products and also have long product life cycles. This segment has very unique and demanding requirements. The company over the past many years has developed special processes, created specialized infrastructure and human resources and has strong domain knowledge to meet these requirements and make it as a very attractive supplier to the global OEMs. The  Company is already well entrenched into this sector and seeing good growth rates from existing customers and also adding new customers both from within India and outside.

C-MAC CENTUM ELECTRONICS LTD. FILES PATENT APPLICATION FOR A NEW METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING CHAMFER FOR SINGLE AND MULTIPLE PATTERNS BY DRILLING

 

10 May 2011

New Delhi, May 10 -- India based C-Mac Centum Electronics Ltd. filed patent application for a new method for manufacturing chamfer for single and multiple patterns by drilling. The inventor is Manjunath A Sadare.

C-Mac Centum Electronics Ltd. filed the patent application on May 8, 2002. The patent application number is 344/MAS/2002 A. The international classification number is B44D5/10.

According to the Controller General of Patents, Designs and  Trade Marks, "The method describes the creation of blunt corners in manufacturing small boards/substrates/pieces, wherein the sharp corners have to be rounded-off for ease of handling or for placing inside a box. The method describes the creation of the blunt corner (a concave shaped cut-out) by the method of drilling, which is commonly carried out in all mechanical shops. This new method shows how the same effect as that of a costlier manual process or a punch operation are attained. In multiple patterns (where the smaller pieces are arranged as array or a matrix) the hole is drilled at the junction of corners, which results in the blunt corners for all the boards/pieces which are meeting at that point.
