While some mega-projects are still awaiting approval, Calcutta

government, the project to develop the 262-acre Batanagar estate into a
modern township, with a nine-hole golf course, high-end apartments, villas,
condominiums, a hotel, mall, IT park, hospital and school.
To cost Rs.1,200 cr, Calcutta Riverside is perhaps the most
high profile project under Section-14(z) of the West Bengal land reforms
amendment bill passed in August 2005, which envisages that sick or closed
industries, which require investment to become functional again, may sell of
their unused land, if part of their sale proceeds is used to restructure the units
or for the labour's welfare. Riverbank Holdings Private Limited, the 50-50 joint
venture between Bata India Limited and Calcutta Metropolitan Group Limited
(an alliance between Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority and United
Credit Bellani group), had a master plan ready combining commercial re-use of
land with socio-economic development of the areas in the Batanagar estate.
Its an equitable deal for the workers. The 1,097 families
living on the estate now are to be rehabilitated in new housing, with a built
space of 6,40,000 square feet. Further, the terms of Riverbank Holdings lay
down that within 30 days after the end of each calendar year, it must
contribute a sum of INR 35,00,000 for the benefit of the employees of BIL

modified version of these systems were introduced in the rubber factory also
from the week 37/2005.
These systems are: -
1. The departmental performance rating system.
2. The best employee of the month scheme.
Both the systems were introduced by the management to
involve employees (accord) for their active participation towards organizations
progress and also to improve departments better quantitative productivity and
consumer responsiveness.
Always bear in mind that your resolution to succeed is more important than
anything."

DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCE RATI NG
SYSTEM ( LEATHER FACTORY) :
This system was initiated by the management in the leather
factory to measure the performance of departments and to create the healthy
competitive environment among the departments within the leather factory.
Objectives for introducing these schemes are as following:
Assess and monitor department performance with a view to rewarding
department that meets managements expectation.
Provide accurate feedback to departments so as to highlights their
strengths as well as their weaknesses, which can be used as an
effective continuous improvement tool.
Provide benchmark data, which will allow departments to establish
where they placed in relation to the best performance in the group.
This is a quantitative rating system in which maximum points
have been allotted to every factor. And points obtained by the department, are
the obtained percentage of points allotted to each respective factor. And total
points of each factor combined to obtained total marks earned by the
department.
Factors which are considered in the Total Department
Performance Rating System and their respective maximum points, allotted to
each factor as following:
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 34
Delivery 20 points
Quality 30 points
Attendance 30 points
House keeping 20 points
Total points 100 points
Total department performance measured in the following terms:
total department performance rating
(Delivery + Quality + Attendance + Housekeeping)
Score Rating Remarks
90-100 A Excellent
75-89 B Good
65-74 C Average, Improvement required
50-64 D
Poor, Immediate Improvement
required
< 50 E Very Poor
Points of above factors are calculated as following:
1. Delivery ratings:- maximum 20 points have been allotted to delivery
ratings. Target for the delivery are decided in advance and delivery
points are based on percentage of target achievement.
For example:
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 35
Delivery Target = 10000 pairs (for 5 days week)
Actual Delivery = 9500 pairs
Total % achieved = (9500/10000)*100 % =95 %
TOTAL DELI VERY POINTS= 95% OF 20 POI NTS
= 19 POI NTS
2. Quality Ratings: Maximum 30 points have been allotted to quality
ratings. This is based on defects score and rejects rate score. Here
three types of defects have been considered named as minor defects
(i.e. low impact) and major defect (i.e. high impact) and critical defect
(i.e. line stoppage etc.), And Reject rate score means percentage of
total defects (R-Pair) that occurs due to assembly and are avoidable
defects. Points for defects score and reject rate score are as following:
Quality ratings (max 30 points) = Defects score (max 20 points) + Reject rate
score (MAX 10 POINTS)
Each time there is a defect incident, and then each incident is scored as per
following formulae:
Defect Score
(max 20 points)
Minus 2 points for each minor defects (i.e. low impact)
Minus 5 points for each major defects (i.e. high impact)
Minus 10 points for each critical defect (i.e. line stoppage etc.)
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 36
R- PAIRS DUE TO ASSEMBLY AND AVOI DABLE DEFECTS
Score 0 - 2 - 4 - 6 -10
R- PAIRS <= 1.5 1.6-2.0 2.1-3.0 2.6-3.0 >3.0
3. Attendance Rating:- Maximum 30 points have been allotted to
attendance ratings. Attendance ratings are based on departments
attendance from salary statement. This is calculated on the basis of
mandays concept.
For example:- Departmental staff from salary statement = 37
Total achievable mandays in a week = (total staff * no. Of days in a week)
= (37*5) =185
Total absenteeism = 10 man days in a week
Total achieved mandays = 185-10 = 175 mandays
Total % achieved = (175/185)*100 % = 95 %
Total attendance points = 95 % OF 30 POI NTS = 28.5 points
4. House Keeping Rating:- maximum 20 points have been allotted to
house keeping rating. House keeping points are given by general
manager in consultation with group manager. House keeping points
are based on:
Racks & boxes are kept in order.
Machines are neat and clean.
Gang ways to be cleared.
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 37
After calculating each individual point, total points for the
department rating are calculated by adding all individual points.
Total marks obtained = (Delivery+Quality+Attendance+House keeping)
The department, which obtains maximum points, is awarded
as Best department of the month by the management receives rewards.
Rewards for the Best Department of the Month:
Shield / cup for the best department of the month.

For example: - In sandal conveyor (B.G.M.) if a department achieves
9500 pairs in a week that is 900 pairs more than scheduled production.
Production points are calculated:
Productivity points = (900/1400)*15 = 9.64 points.
(Here 1400 pairs as per productivity agreement in sandal conveyor.)
After calculating each individual point, total points for the
department rating are calculated by adding all individual points.

Performance appraisal system
( For managerial and clerical staff )
The current performance appraisal system for the clerical and
the managerial staff of Bata India Ltd, Batanagar plant, has been in
continuation since long. Performance appraisal form which is known here as the
Individual Progress Review is filled by the employee to be appraised in
consultation with his superior once in a year. The appraisee fills the detail about
his previously agreed specific or challenging task (including measurable
standards of performance) and actual achievements against standards of
performance. On the basis of which overall level of performance of the
appraisee is measured. The appraisee also gives detail about his individual
career planning including specific, challenging task for the next review period
(including target dates and standards of performance).
This performance appraisal system is a combination of critical
incidence method and grading method. This has been used specifically due to
the fact that performance of managerial and clerical staff is not measurable
(performance based), thats why critical incidents are included in this system,
which becomes performance standard for the performance review period and
on the basis of which appraisal is done.
Format of the performance appraisal system of Bata India Ltd,
Batanagar, which is being used as of now, has been given below:

Negatives:
1. Appraisees health condition and family problems have not been considered
in the performance appraisal system of managerial and clerical staff.
2. Personality traits of individuals are not taken into account.
3. More weightage is given to performance and not to potential of the
appraisee in the Performance appraisal system of managerial and clerical
staff.
4. In the department rating system productivity is given lowest point which
should be given more weightage in the rating system.
5. The effect of other factors (delivery, quality, and house keeping) overlaps
the effect of productivity and attendance.

departmental appraisal, the most important factors affecting the result
should be attendance followed by quality and house keeping whereas the
graphs shoe that:
1. The effect of quality and house keeping on the final score is more than
that of attendance.
2. Performance evaluation or appraisal ought to be based on productivity.
Graphs show that this effect on the final result is minimal.
3. The above two points indicate that the point difference between
departments regarding attendance and productivity are surpassed or

The Bar graphs drawn to show the effect of appraisal
on the productivity and thus the change in the performance in the next
month indicate significantly important factors such as:
1. A better appraisal rating tends to decrease the productivity level of the
department in the following month.
2. On the other hand, relatively lower appraisal ratings tend to increase
the productivity levels of the department in the following month, which
is expected.
3. Inconsistent performance of every department results in dis-
proportionate change in appraisal ratings.
4. It is evident that here, direct motivation ( i.e. motivation from success ) is
less important from indirect motivation ( i.e. motivation from failures ).
The current performance appraisal system of managerial and
clerical staff in Bata India Ltd., Batanagar plant has been quiet effective for a
long time. The management is getting its sufficient required inputs, which are
useful for decision making regarding promotion, increment etc. Some other
factors such potential and other personal characteristics of individuals have not
been taken into account, for this purpose I have been made some efforts to
make it more effective and helpful for management in the long run.
Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going.
Rather than always focusing on what's urgent, learn to focus on what is
really important

(For the department rating system)
After the analysis of appraisals of departments ( 321 to 327 )
in the months of J an 06 to J une 06, I have found that there is a very small
difference between the points of different factors (delivery, quality, house
keeping, attendance, and productivity). So the effect of some factors ( delivery,
quality, and house keeping ) overlaps the effect of the other important factors
i.e. productivity and attendance. To minimize these differences between the
points of different factors and to make this system more effective, here are
some suggestions:
1. Points on productivity ought to be 30 points, because department rating
system needs to be more dependent on productivity i.e. actual performance.
2. Points to be given to departments on percentile basis, where the maximum
scorer is supposed to be standard and is allotted 100 % marks.
3. Attendance points ought to be 20 points, the department should not be
penalize due to the legal or illegal absence of some individuals.
4. Delivery points ought to be 15 points, because delivery does not depend
solely on the one department.
5. Quality marks ought to be 20 points, because there is very small difference
between the obtained quality points of departments and it was not able to
make considerable effect on the final appraisal points. There should be some
changes in calculation of quality points. One suggestion has been given
here:
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 63
Calculate the average of the percentage shoes with defects
and percentage shoes which are rejected, let this value be X. Find the
cumulative value of X in all departments of a particular unit / group, now to
calculate individual departments quality ratings. Find the percentage of X in
the cumulative value and subtract it from 20, this is the final quality score.
Example 1 : If defective pairs are (D
p
) 20 out of 12,000 and R - pairs (R
p
)
are 15 out of 12,000, then for that particular department :-
D
p
= 0.16 %
R
p
= 0.13 %
X = ( 0.16 + 0.13 ) / 2 = 0.142 %
Suppose, the cumulative value of X in the unit is 2.42 then,
Quality points = [ 20 - ( 0.142 / 2.42 ) * 100 ] = 14.13
Example 2 : Similarly, if the defective pieces are 45 out of 10,000 & R-pairs
are 53 out of 10,000, then for that particular department :-
D
p
= ( 45 / 10000 ) * 100 = 0.45 %
R
p
= ( 53 / 10000 ) * 100 = 0.53 %
X = ( 0.45 + 0.53 ) / 2 = 0.49 %
Suppose, the cumulative value of X in the unit is 4.9 then,
Quality points = [ 20 - ( 0.49 / 4.9 ) * 100 ] = 10
CHALLENGE SKILLCOMMITMENTTEAMWORK 64
6. House keeping points ought to be 15 points, because all other factors should
given more weightage than housekeeping.
7. If productivity of the current month is positive in respect to previous month,
even by 1 % than only the department should be eligible for the best
department.

( For performance appraisal system of managerial and clerical staff )
The performance appraisal system of Bata India Ltd.,
Batanagar plant for its managerial and clerical staff has been quiet effective for
a long time. The management is getting its sufficient required inputs which are
useful for decision making regarding promotion increments etc. although it has
been quiet effective for a long time but there is a need to make amendments,
because it is based on the performance of employee, other factors such as
potential, and other personal factors has not been taken in to account. For this
purpose, I have been made some efforts to include these factors into current
performance appraisal system.
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong .
