4 Sustainability in Urban Public Transport through Operation of Electrical Buses in India The significant level in Manufacturing industry is is greater than 0.05 and for Construction industry is is greater than 0.05.Thus we can accept null hypothesis and reject the alternative hypothesis. There is significant difference of process planning in manufacturing industry. CONCLUSION For the organizational success material planning is an important factor for manufacturing activity. The practices of process planning are having higher significant level compared to other practices. If process planning does not have any proper base during the beginning stage itself the whole procedure of manufacturing will go wrong. The companies adopting different practices like process planning, capacity planning, inventory management and demand management experiences various relationships on what may or may not happen. Material management is an essential tool for better organizational performance. REFERENCES [1] Chikan, A. & Whybark, (1990).
