When evaluating capital equipment investment, Indian jewellery manufacturers face a specific calculation: the machine cost versus the labour cost it replaces, adjusted for the quality improvement and capacity expansion it enables.
A Real-World Example: Surat Jewellery Unit
A mid-size Surat diamond jewellery manufacturer was running 12 setters across two shifts, producing approximately 5,000 pieces per week. After installing a Semsons Tech machine, their metrics changed significantly:
- Production: 5,000 → 22,000 pieces/week with the same floor space
- Labour: 12 setters → 2 (machine operators)
- Rejection rate: 4.2% → 0.3%
- Monthly labour saving: ₹2.1 lakh
- Payback period: 14 months
Calculating Your Specific ROI
The ROI calculation for any specific factory depends on: current setter headcount and salaries, target production volume, working shift pattern, stone size and model complexity mix, and current rejection/rework rates.
