Flexible packaging manufacturing depends as much on disciplined workforce execution as on machinery, since even a minor lapse in staffing, training or supervision can compromise product quality. This study examines the impact of employee manpower management on perceived product quality at Amcor Flexibles India Private Limited, Puducherry, a flexible packaging manufacturer running a continuous four-shift production system. A structured questionnaire covering training, supervisory support, manpower adequacy, shift scheduling, HR communication and employee welfare was administered to 54 employees through convenience sampling and analysed using percentage analysis, mean score ranking, cross-tabulation, Cronbach's Alpha, an independent-samples t-Test, one-way ANOVA and a Chi-square test. All eleven opinion statements recorded combined Agree/Strongly Agree levels above 87%, and the eleven-item scale returned a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.783, indicating acceptable reliability. Permanent employees reported significantly higher HR Practice Adequacy and Overall HR Perception scores than contract employees (t = 2.318, p = 0.024; t = 2.388, p = 0.021), and HR Practice Adequacy differed significantly across years-of-experience bands (F = 3.096, p = 0.035). The study concludes that employee manpower management is strongly and consistently associated with perceived product quality at the Puducherry plant.
KEYWORDS
✓ 92.6% of respondents agreed there is enough manpower to complete work effectively, and 96.3% agreed adequate manpower improves quality of work. ✓ 94.5% agreed they received adequate training before starting their job, and 98.2% agreed proper training helps reduce work errors. ✓ Supervisory support and clarity of guidance both scored strongly (87.0% each), drawing the small pocket of disagreement present in the dataset. ✓ 92.6% agreed shift schedules are managed properly and HR-employee communication works well; 94.5% agreed welfare activities improve motivation. ✓ Permanent employees scored significantly higher than contract employees on HR Practice Adequacy and Overall HR Perception (t-Test, p < 0.05). ✓ HR Practice Adequacy differed significantly across years-of-experience bands (ANOVA, F = 3.096, p = 0.035). ✓ The questionnaire showed acceptable reliability, with an overall Cronbach's Alpha of 0.783.
