OFB Letter No.209/PIO/RTI dated 14th Sep 2010 says

The Information given by OFB for the asked information:
1.Nature of work for Industrial employees in Ordnance & Ordnance equipment factories.
A. Nature of work of IEs depends upon the trades agaianst which they are recruited and also the production items of the different ordnance facories. IEs are the lowest rung of the work force engages in the production process.They are the biggest force in a factory.
2.Nature of work for CM(T) in ordnance & ordnance equipment factories.
A.OFB is not published any Manueal showing the duties/nature of work and responsibilities of NGOs & JWMs of Ordnance factories organisation. (THIS IS HOW OFB IS WORKING FOR THE LAST 200 YEARS) However, it is informed that CM(T) is the lowest grade staff in the supervisory catogery at shop floor level and supervise the work of individuals connected directly with the production,maintainance,etc., and responsible to the production. (THEY ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCTION)
3.Nature of work for JWMs in Ordnance & Ordnance equipment fctories.
A. Asst.Foeeman where Asst.Foreman is the Supervisory staff to control/monitor the work of the CM(T) and even at the lowest level . JWM is the over all incharge of the shop for production and maintainance and also looking after the administration of the section and responsible to the Group A Officer. ( AF is recatorised as JWM, so there is no AF in production)
4.Name of the cadre deployed for OT and name of the cdre deployed for OT in OFs.
A. JWM,AF,FN,SH,Sr.PS, PS and their equivalent cadres are not detailed on OT.
5.Eligibility criteria for employees of OFs for working OT.
A. Eligibility cretia for the employees for working OT is regulated as per Section 59 of the Factories act 1948.
These are the information given by OFB authorities. It indictes that still we are following the 1948 British rules at Ordnance factories, where as Railways and others formed their own guide lines for OT for their bettr production. Further it is not clear that JWM is incharge of Shop Production and the same JWMs are going to report to the one day senior. But there is no Jt.GM reports to his senior Jt.GM, similarly the position of other group A Officers. But JWM has to work under other JWM of the same cadre. This is the point to be settled, which may effect the position of production. The Group A Officers, forms their own rules for the promotions/positionsf and created 8 promotional posts. But they curtailed 6 supervisory staff posts of the past to 2 , to humilitate the supervisory staff at production line and ensure that they are not going to discharage their duties in harmony. Thus creating an unrest in the production.
