Infy proved Infosys can save $25 millions/year

It happened few days ago. One of my friend, named Yogesh, working currently in infosys, had come up with his plan to suggest infosys that it can save around $50 million/yr.

All business plans are so simple and have simple architecture. So, is this plan. This idea completely based on his keen observation on operations in infosys.

There are many factors, which i shouldn't explain here. But, few simple logics were mentioned here.

First Factor: This plan is a practical application of a subject "Operations Research". He found that employees are spending few minutes unproductively during lunch. Its mistake neither with company nor with employees.  During lunch break, employee need to take a coupon for which every one is spending 3 minutes on an average. That can be either reduced or eliminated using digitization of the process.

Second Factor: All infys are required to mention their login details in a particular site. They need to fill up a form in which they need to switch off 3 pages. For switching off from one page to another page takes few seconds. Instead, putting all of them in a single web page saves those few seconds. These few seconds may be negligle, but if u look at them for 1 lakh times(no. of employees), it matters much.

The simple statastics of it are as follows:

His broad analysis shows that non-value added work is 10 minutes per infy per day, at least. Here, i am showing some rough stats. (just as an example)

So, in total, total 10 lakh minutes are being wasted.

Means, 16666.666 man hours per day are gone wasted, unknowingly.

One can calculate these man hours per year to 5000000 man hours. A normal fresher to infosys is paid with INR25000 for his 25 days work. Suppose there are 10 working hrs per day, above man hours equals to  INR500000000. So, infosys is loosing USD12,500,000. These figures didn't consider other breaks like BF, Dinner, Tea breaks. If at all, Infosys can put new measures of reducing unproductive time, it can save all these bucks.

Yogesh had written a paper, precisely, with all these facts and submitted to his HR manager. This paper is now with high end managerial team that works with CEO of the company as well.Lets wish his work will see some practical implementations.

It may be difficult to save 10 min/person, but if u look at as Infosys its loosing a lot. I don't know how much practical this plan is. But, his approach and initiative deserves appreciation.

Any one could have proved it, if one thought as yogesh considered infosys. I knew him very closely since our UG, before he got placed in that software gaint, he started dreaming about this company. May be, his passion and love for organisation would have done this all.
