ACMA
HR survey aims at tackling
major industry challenges
The Automotive Component Manufactur-
ers Association of India (ACMA) has just
unveiled the findings of its survey on Hu-
man Resource Practices and Remuneration
Benchmarking for its member-organizations.
The survey, which was the first of its kind,
was conducted by Deloitte India and aimed
at gaining strategic insights into the critical
human capital challenges, HR practices and
remuneration trends in the auto component
industry. Over 90 ACMA members across the
country participated in this exercise.
Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Arvind
Kapur, ACMA President, said: “As the auto
component manufacturing industry in India is
steadily becoming global, the business strategies adopt-
ed by individual companies will be shaped to a great
extent by workforce challenges. To be competitive, the
industry will not only need a perspective on the best HR
practices but will also need to benchmark its own HR
systems & policies against the global best”.

SAP special solutions for ACMA members
The Automotive Component Manufacturers Asso-
ciation (ACMA), in a special engagement with SAP
India, brought forward a unique proposition for its
members across India. As a part of this proposal, SAP
provided customized packaged offering of ERP and
Business Analytics applications to ACMA members.
On-Premise or On-Cloud model solutions were of-
fered to ACMA members for the standardized SAP
solutions for rapid deployment, while a special price
for purchase for additional software licences was also
offered to those members who are already using SAP
solutions.
This association-wide initiative conceptualized and
driven by the IT Committee of ACMA and SAP is the
first of its kind for the industry.
Mr. Arvind Kapur, ACMA President, observed:
“Enterprise-wide solutions are imperative to integrate
the supply chain and efficiently manage and respond
to dynamic business needs. A solution which is tai-
lored to cater to the needs of the automotive sector will
enable quick access to reliable business information,
thereby servicing our customers better. Our members
have already shown keen interest for this offering, and
we are expecting more in the coming months.”
