Chapter 1: Introduction to the Topic
Training and Development
TRAINING
Definition- “Training is a process to change employee’s behaviour at work through the application
of learning principles. This behavioural change usually has a focus on knowledge or information,
skills or activities and attitudes or belief and value system.”
Training is work or task-based and it deals with a short time frame geared to the mastery of specific
tasks. Education is broader based and traditionally it has dealt with the ‘higher order’ knowledge or
cognitive aspects of learning over a longer time horizon. In the past it has tended to be institutional-
based and geared to raising standard of reasoning ability and judgment. The adoption of MBA course
for specific management training initiatives can blur the traditional distinctions between training and
business education. In other aspects of education, the distinction would fit more closely the traditional
divergent picture between training and education.
DEVELOPMENT
Definition: Development, under the traditional vision, falls in the middle between training and
education. Development can cover the present role or some grooming for future greatness. A cynical
view is that we ‘develop managers but trained workers’ this may be indicative of the lack of latitude,
hence the lack of real development potential, in most non-professional and non-managerial jobs.
Thus, we may say that training is imparted to operatives, whereas development is a process of
grooming mainly used for executives or managers. The impact of a training program ends with
learning the skill, while that of a developmental program is a continuous and on-going process.

Chapter 1: Introduction to the Topic
Department of Management Studies Bhimtal: The department opted for the internship project
report is the ‘Department of Management Studies’, Kumaun University Campus, Bhimtal.
Kumaun University was established in 1973 under the Uttar Pradesh University's Act. The
University is the member of Association of Indian Universities (A.I.U.) as a State University.
It has also been conferred with the four Stars rating by the National Academic Accreditation
Council (N.A.A.C).
It is a residential cum affiliating University with its administrative office at Nainital. The
University has two campuses, Deb Singh Bisht (D.S.B.) Campus at Nainital and Sobhan
Singh Jeena (S.S.J) Campus at Almora, 31 affiliated Government Colleges, 27 Self-financed
Institutes, 5 Semi-Government colleges/Institutions are affiliated to it. The University
provides teaching and research facilities under the following faculties:-
* Faculty of Arts
* Faculty of Commerce and Management
* Faculty of Education
* Faculty of Law
* Faculty of Medicine
* Faculty of Science
* Faculty of Technology
Excellent teaching and research facilities at the University attract students from all parts of
the country and abroad. The University is committed to excellence and as a socially
responsible institution has now assumed even greater responsibility after the creation of the
State of Uttarakhand.
The Department of Management Studies (DMS) was established in 1997 under the aegis of
the University Grants Commission (U.G.C.) and has acquired concurrence from the State
2
Government. The MBA (F.T.) programme is approved by the All India Council for Technical
Page
Chapter 1: Introduction to the Topic
Education (A.I.C.T.E) and is the only such programme under a State University in
Uttarakhand.
The DMS is a University Department under the Faculty of Commerce and Management
located at Bhimtal-a satellite town of Nainital and is situated in the Himalayan foot-hills.
Bhimtal is fast emerging as an educational hub. The Department of Bio-Technology and the
Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Kumaun University are also located at Bhimtal.
Besides these, Bhimtal also has several National and State level research centres.
The Department has pioneered management education in the region and has established itself
as the foremost and most sought after Department imparting management education in the
region. It is committed to provide quality educational facilities for training young men and
women for taking up careers in management and create knowledge through research.
Management education is ever changing and dynamic. Keeping in view the present state of
the Business and requirement of the corporate Department of Management studies took
initiative of starting 5 year MBA integrated program, and running it successfully. It is aligned
to the changing need of the corporate world and thus designed in collaboration with and
feedback provided by the industry stalwarts and academicians of the highest order.
Like any other industry, education industry is delivering a high quality of end products, for
meeting the changing requirement and increasing the level of satisfaction of the society. The
satisfaction that an end product can deliver to the end users is known as the quality of that
product, and in terms of education industry the end product are the students and the end users
are the recruiters. The purpose for any professional education is to bridge the gap between the
requirement of the end users and the quality of the end products they are delivering, for
increasing the probability of employability of the students. Development of the persona,
attitude and the decision making ability of any student is dependent on the quality of the input
variable. Over a period of time expectations of the recruiters have changed a lot, so as the
need of the education, to evolve itself again to meet that pace of change. Hence resulting to
think, once again, upon the input variable and try to enhance their quality. Unlike in any other
industry, here also we are dealing with human resource, in terms of students and teachers.
The quality of students is dependent on various input variables, one of which is the teacher.
Hence there arises a need to develop a training system for the development of the teachers, so
that the quality of the input provided by them, match the requirement of the recruiters.
In the present scenario, teachers are more concern to the knowledge they are providing to
their students, with the help of developed tools and techniques. Also to meet the pace of
change, they are continuously updating and enhancing their knowledge by attending various
training and development programs, by self identification of training needs. Here, where we
are taking about the teachers, indulged in the noble profession of knowledge creation, are

and development programme, relevant to their current level of skill set and their learning
behaviour. The system for training is not a step by step approach; there exists an overlapping
between its different phases.
The work plan for internship task is to study the working of Department of Management
Studies and study out the training requirement for students. Also to prepare reports on five
training sessions conducted in the department / university including session objective,
methodology, and content, training aids and reading material. After identifying one of the
training programmes, the scholar will prepare a training evaluation study using different
evaluation techniques like CIRO Approach or etc.

Department of Management Studies; Bhimtal so that the training programmes which are
conducted for the faculty members or the faculty development programmes they undergo, can
become more effective.
For the attainment of above said objective a competency mapping sheet for the faculties will
be prepared by the responsible team, on the identified attributes, so that a proper annual
calendar can be prepared for the identified trainees. The process will take approximately four
to five weeks. The concerned persons are the head of departments, faculties and staff.
The study will be done considering the constraints of time, availability of the possible
trainees and other academic constrains.

2.1 Introduction:
Training is an instructor-lead content based intervention which is done to develop a desired
change in the behaviour of an individual, so that the trainee can perform same task
repeatedly, with more efficiency and accuracy.
Training is tool for improving any organisation’s efficiency. The need of the hour is that in
every organisation, because the changes which are taking place in internal and external
environment, every organisation is keen to update its human resource in a manner so that it
can appreciate with time with proper training interventions. Training is also a tool to protect
the skill obsolescence of the employees of any organisation; it is also an effective change
agent with which we can introduce a change in the organisation without generating any
dissatisfaction in the organisation among its employees.
Every organisation, while performing its task and duties, faces may problems a time which
cause a performance dip to it. This can be improved by a proper Analysis of Organisational
Training Need (AOTN). AOTN is the process of identifying all the problematic areas of an
organisation and prioritizing them according to their solutions which training can offer to
that. While performing AOTN, all the problems which are resulting into organisational
performance dip, are identified and a list is generated stating that to which area training can
be the best solution. The list so generated, is later on, converted into a priority list indicating
the best training solution and giving the least priority to the problem for which training can
contribute minimum. On successful generation of priority list, excluding the problems for
which training is the best solution rest of the problems communicated to the departments to
which the problems are associated. And for the problems to which training is the best solution
are selected and solved one by one.
For undertaking the task of bringing out training requirement of the Department of
Management Studies, Kumaun University Campus, Bhimtal, the researcher has followed the
same procedure for identifying the training need of the department. The steps for which are
explained below.
For conducting an effective AOTN, it is first and foremost required that the responsibility of
identifying the training need is to be assigned to an unbiased person who is the direct or line
manager of the potential trainees so that an appropriate training need can be identified. Also
the person must have the legal/official ability to access the resources which are required to
7
For identifying training need of DMS Bhimtal the responsibility of conducting AOTN is
assigned to the Head of Department (HOD) of DMS Bhimtal, as he is the immediate superior
or line manager of all the teaching staff who is working in the department. Also he is the one
who undertakes the process of student’s feedback, regarding the performance of every faculty
member in the classroom and during other academic activities.
The next step is to identify the Key Responsibility Areas (KRA’s) based on which the
training needs can be identified and competency mapping can be done to know the
competency gap among all the faculty members of the department. Below is the Training
Need Identification and Competency Mapping Sheet, on which the competency gap for every
faculty member is measured. The present and forecasted skills are identified by the HOD
based on which the competency gap is measured. Where present skill means the present skill
wet acquired by the faulty member while performing his present job in the current academic
session and forecasted skills means the skill set required to perform the same jobs in future in
next academic session.

* Required Skills: Skills required for the teaching performance in the next Academic Year
(2014-2015).
On successful measurement of the competency gap between the present performance of all
the faculty members and their required performance, an Analysis of Organisational Training
Need (AOTN) is performed based on Annexure 1.2. The Analysis of Organisational Training
Need depict us all the areas where training can be the best solution and what is the exact
number of trainees who are identified for a particular training need.
An AOTN done in proper manner helps us in different manner such as it tell us, depending
upon the number of trainees identified on a particular topic, when can we schedule the
training programme, what type of training programme will be appropriate and how much
time it must be repeated for making an effective learning.
This chart is prepared by using the information obtained while training need identification
and competency mapping process.

Digital Instruments
• The instruments which measure the intended values with the help of electronics circuitry and
display the values directly on a LCD are known as Digital instruments.
• These days there is greater trend of using the digital instruments for measurement of all the
important quantities like weight, length, temperature, humidity, current, voltage, rpm and even
the blood sugar level.
Digital Scale
Digital Thermometer
Digital Multimeter
Calibration
• Calibration of the measuring instrument is the process in which the readings obtained from the
instrument are compared with the sub-standards in the laboratory at several points along the
scale of the instrument.
• As per the results obtained from the readings obtained of the instrument and the sub-
standards, the curve is plotted.
• If the instrument is accurate there will be matching of the scales of the instrument and the sub-
standard.
• If there is deviation of the measured value from the instrument against the standard value, the
instrument is calibrated to give the correct values.
• After continuous use of the instrument for long periods of time, sometimes it loses its
calibration or the scale gets distorted, in such cases the instrument can be calibrated again if it is
in good reusable condition.

Combined layout
Certain manufacturing units may require all three processes namely intermittent process (job
shops), the continuous process (mass production shops) and the representative process
combined process [i.e. miscellaneous shops]. In most of industries, only a product layout or
process layout or fixed location layout does not exist. Thus, in manufacturing concerns where
several products are produced in repeated numbers with no likelihood of continuous
production, combined layout is followed.

Production
Intermittent Continuous
Production Production
Intermittent System
• In this system, the goods are manufactured specially to fulfill orders made
by customers rather than for stock.
• Here the flow of material is intermittent.
• Intermittent production systems are those where the production facilities
are flexible enough to handle a wide variety of products and sizes.
• These can be used to manufacture those products where the basic nature
of inputs changes with the change in the design of the product and the
production process requires continuous adjustments. Considerable
storage between operation is required, so that individual operations can
be carried out independently for further utilization of men and machines.
• Examples of intermittent system are: machine shops, hospitals, general
29
office etc.

• Project production:
Project production where a single assignment of complex nature is
undertaken for completion within the given period and within the
estimated expenditure.
Project production is characterized by complex sets of activities that must
be performed in a particular order within the given period and within the
estimated expenditure.
Where output of a project is a product, such products are generally
characterized by immobility during transformation. Operations of such
products are carried out in “fixed position assembly type of layout” which
can be observed in production of ships, locomotive and aircraft,
construction of roads, buildings, etc.
• Job production:
Jobbing production where one or few units of a product are produced to
customer’s requirement within the given date amid within the price fixed
prior to the contract.
Jobbing production is characterized by the manufacture of one or few
numbers of a single product designed and manufactured strictly to
customer’s specifications, within, the given period and within the price
fixed prior to tile contract.
Some typical examples of industries engaged in jobbing production are:
general repair shops; special purpose machine tool manufacturers;
workshops to manufacture jigs and fixtures for other units; building
contractors; tailoring shops manufacturing made-to-measure suite of
clothes; manufacturers of ships, cranes, furnaces, turbo-generators,
pressure vessels; and others manufacturing articles made to customers
orders.
• Batch production:
Batch production where limited quantity of each type of product is
authorized for manufacture at a time.
product (but many such, quantities of different products) produced at
regular intervals and stocked in warehouses as finished goods (or finished
parts,) awaiting sales (or withdrawal for assembly).
Typical examples of batch production are : Process industries such as
pharmaceuticals, paints, chemicals; medium and heavy engineering
industry engaged in the manufacture of electric motors, switch gears,
heavy motor vehicles, internal combustion engines; manufacturers of
ready made garments; manufacturing and assembly shops such as
30
Continuous System
• In this system the items are produced for the stocks and not for specific
orders.
• Before planning manufacturing to stock, a sales forecast is made to
estimate likely demand of the product and a master schedule is prepared
to adjust the sales forecast according to past orders and level of inventory.
• Here the inputs are standardized and a standard set of processes and
sequence of processes can be adopted. Due to this routing and scheduling
for the whole process can be standardized.
• Mass production.
Mass and flow production where a production run is conducted either on
a single machine or on a number of machines, arranged according to the
sequence of operations and several number of a product are
manufactured at a time and stocked in warehouse awaiting sales.
Here items are produced in large quantities and much emphasis is not
given to consumers orders. In fact the production is to stock and not to
order.
The system can produce only one type of product at one time. These days,
mass production system is generally used to manufacture sub-assemblies
or particular parts/components of an item. These parts are assembled
together by the enterprise to get the final product.
• Process production.
Process production is characterized by tile manufacture of a single product
produced and stocked in the warehouses awaiting sales. The flexibility of
such plants is almost zero as only one type of product can be produced in
such plants. Typical examples of such plants are sugar, steel, cement,
paper, coke, refineries, etc.

• Arc welding uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between
an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the welding
point.
• They can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current, and
consumable or non-consumable electrodes.
• The welding region is sometimes protected by some type of inert or semi-
inert gas, known as a shielding gas, and/or an evaporating filler material.
• The process of arc welding is widely used because of its low capital and
running costs.

Types of Milling
• Peripheral Milling: In peripheral (or slab) milling, the milled surface is generated by
teeth located on the periphery of the cutter body. The axis of cutter rotation is
generally in a plane parallel to the work piece surface to be machined.
• Face Milling: In face milling, the cutter is mounted on a spindle having an axis of
rotation perpendicular to the work piece surface. The milled surface results from
the action of cutting edges located on the periphery and face of the cutter.
• End Milling: The cutter in end milling generally rotates on an axis vertical to the
work piece. It can be tilted to machine tapered surfaces. Cutting teeth are located
on both the end face of the cutter and the periphery of the cutter body.

Grinding
• Belt grinder: which is usually used as a machining method to process metals and other materials, with the
aid of coated abrasives. Sanding is the machining of wood; grinding is the common name for machining
metals. Belt grinding is a versatile process suitable for all kind of applications like finishing, deburring, and
stock removal.
• Bench grinder: which usually has two wheels of different grain sizes for roughing and finishing operations
and is secured to a workbench. It is used for shaping tool bits or various tools that need to be made or
repaired. Bench grinders are manually operated.
• Cylindrical grinder: which includes the center less grinder. A cylindrical grinder may have multiple grinding
wheels. The work piece is rotated and fed past the wheel/s to form a cylinder. It is used to make precision
rods.
• Surface grinder: which includes the wash grinder. A surface grinder has a "head" which is lowered, and the
work piece is moved back and forth past the grinding wheel on a table that has a permanent magnet for
use with magnetic stock. Surface grinders can be manually operated or have CNC controls.
• Tool and cutter grinder: and the D-bit grinder. These usually can perform the minor function of the drill bit
grinder, or other specialist tool room grinding operations.
• Jig grinder: which as the name implies, has a variety of uses when finishing jigs, dies, and fixtures. Its
primary function is in the realm of grinding holes and pins. It can also be used for complex surface grinding
to finish work started on a mill.

Grinding Wheel
There are five characteristics of a cutting wheel: material, grain size, wheel grade, grain spacing, and bond
type. They will be indicated by codes on the wheel's label.
• Material: the actual abrasive, is selected according to the hardness of the material being cut.
Aluminum Oxide (A), Silicon Carbide (C), Diamond (D, MD, SD), Cubic Boron Nitride (B)
• Grain size: from 8 (coarsest) 600 (finest), determines the physical size of the abrasive grains in the wheel. A larger
grain will cut freely, allowing fast cutting but poor surface finish. Ultra-fine grain sizes are for precision finish work.
• Wheel grade: from A (soft) to Z (hard), determines how tightly the bond holds the abrasive. Grade affects almost
all considerations of grinding, such as wheel speed, coolant flow, maximum and minimum feed rates, and grinding
depth.
• Grain spacing, or structure: from 1 (densest) to 16 (least dense). Density is the ratio of bond and abrasive to air
space. A less-dense wheel will cut freely, and has a large effect on surface finish. It is also able to take a deeper or
wider cut with less coolant, as the chip clearance on the wheel is greater.
• Wheel bond: how the wheel holds the abrasives, affects finish, coolant, and minimum/maximum wheel speed.

Straight wheel: These are by far the most common style of wheel and can be found on bench or pedestal
grinders. They are used on the periphery only and therefore produce a slightly concave surface (hollow ground)
on the part. This can be used to advantage on many tools such as chisels.
Straight Wheels are the kind of generally used for cylindrical, centreless, and surface grinding operations.
Wheels of this form vary greatly in size, the diameter and width of face naturally depending upon the class of
work for which is used and the size and power of the grinding machine.
Cylinder or wheel ring: Cylinder wheels provide a long, wide surface with no center mounting support
(hollow). They can be very large, up to 12" in width. They are used only in vertical or horizontal spindle
grinders. Cylinder or wheel ring is used for producing flat surfaces, the grinding being done with the end face of
the wheel.
Tapered wheel: A straight wheel that tapers outward towards the center of the wheel. This arrangement is
stronger than straight wheels and can accept higher lateral loads. Tapered face straight wheel is primarily used
for grinding thread, gear teeth etc.
Straight cup: Straight cup wheels are an alternative to cup wheels in tool and cutter grinders, where having an
additional radial grinding surface is beneficial.
Dish cup: A very shallow cup-style grinding wheel. The thinness allows grinding in slots and crevices. It is used
primarily in cutter grinding and jig grinding.
Saucer wheel: A special grinding profile that is used to grind milling cutters and twist drills. It is most common
in non-machining areas, as saw filers use saucer wheels in the maintenance of saw blades.
Diamond wheel: Diamond wheels are grinding wheels with industrial diamonds bonded to the periphery. They
are used for grinding extremely hard materials such as carbide cutting tips, gemstones or concrete. The saw
pictured to the right is a slitting saw and is designed for slicing hard materials, typically gemstones.
Diamond mandrels: Diamond mandrels are very similar to their counterpart, a diamond wheel. They are tiny
diamond rasps for use in a jig grinder doing profiling work in hard material.
Cut off wheels: Cut off wheels, also known as parting wheels, are self-sharpening wheels that are thin in width
and often have radial fibers reinforcing them. They are often used in the construction industry for cutting
reinforcement bars (rebar), protruding bolts or anything that needs quick removal or trimming. Most
handymen would recognize an angle grinder and the discs they use.
• Polishing and buffing are finishing processes for smoothing a work piece's surface
using an abrasive and a work wheel.
• Technically polishing refers to processes that use an abrasive that is glued to the
work wheel, while buffing uses a loose abrasive applied to the work wheel.
• Polishing is a more aggressive process while buffing is less harsh, which leads to a
smoother, brighter finish.
• A common misconception is that a polished surface has a mirror bright finish,
however most mirror bright finishes are actually buffed.
• Aluminium oxide abrasives are used on high tensile strength metals, such as
carbon and alloy steel, tough iron, and nonferrous alloys. Silicon carbide abrasives
are used on hard and brittle substances, such as grey iron and cemented carbide,
and low tensile strength metals, such as brass, Aluminium, and copper

Why is Head Protection Important?
In and around your head are:
Your eyes, with which you see
Your ears, with which you hear
Your nose, with which you smell
Your mouth, with which you eat and speak
Your brain, with which you think
Injuries to the head are very serious. For this
reason, head protection and safety are very
important .

Foot Protection
Why is Foot Protection Important?
The human foot is rigid enough to support the
weight of your entire body, and yet flexible enough
to allow you to run, dance, play sports, and to take
you anywhere you want to go. Without your feet
and toes, your ability to work at your job would be
greatly reduced.
Impact Injuries
At work, heavy objects can fall on your feet. If you work around
sharp objects, you can step on something sharp and puncture your
foot
Injuries from Spills and Splashes
Liquids such as acids, caustics, and molten metals can spill
into your shoes and boots. These hazardous materials can
cause chemical and heat burns
Extremes in Cold, Heat, and Moisture
If not protected, your feet can suffer from frostbite if you must work in an
extremely cold environment. Extreme heat, on the other hand, can
blister and burn your feet. Finally, extreme moisture in your shoes or
boots can lead to fungal infections
Slipping
Oil, water, soaps, wax, and other chemicals can cause you to slip and

Spanners
Types of Spanners
1. Open-ended spanner:
a one-piece spanner with a U-shaped opening that grips two opposite faces
of the bolt or nut.
This spanner is often double-ended, with a different-sized opening at each
end. The ends are generally oriented at an angle of around 15 degrees to the
longitudinal axis of the handle.
2. Ring spanner:
a one-piece spanner with an enclosed opening that grips the faces of the
bolt or nut.
The recess is generally a six-point or twelve-point opening for use with nuts
or bolt heads with a hexagonal shape.
Ring spanners are often double-ended and usually with offset handles to
79
4. Combination spanner:
a double-ended tool with one end being like an open-ended spanner, and
the other end being like a ring spanner. Both ends generally fit the same size
of bolt.

Types of Hammers
Handle
Face
Peening means the technique of surface-hardening or working metal by hammering
it. A ball-peen hammer is the tool that is used.
Its one side is flat and the other is spherical (like a ball).
These are most commonly used in fitting shop & are used for shaping metal (ex.
flattening surfaces) and closing rivets.
Ball peen hammers are available from 55 - 165g & are the most suitable for general
use.
Face
Pole
A cross peen hammer has a flat face on one end and an edge or peen at right
angles to the handle.
The flat edge of this hammer is used for striking and the cross peen is used
making indentations or grooves on work pieces.
81
Page
Chapter 3
A straight peen hammer has a flat face on one end and an edge or peen
parallel to the handle.
The flat edge of this hammer is used for striking and the cross peen is used
making straight indentations or grooves on work pieces.
5. Sledge Hammer:
Sledges, or sledge hammers, are used for heavy work & are used by
blacksmiths, woodcutters or stone breakers.
Sledge hammers are rated by the weight of their head. With heads weighing
from 907 g to 9.07 kg, sledge hammers are most often used with two hands.
6. Mallet Hammer:
Soft faced hammers are made of hard and soft rubber, plastic or copper
faces.
They are useful for striking finished jobs where a steel face would cause
damage and aligning jobs on a machine.
Files
• A file is hardened steel tool, having small parallel rows of cutting edges or
teeth on its surfaces.
• On the faces, the teeth are usually diagonal to the edge. One end of the
file is shaped to fit into a wooden handle.
• Files are classified according to their cutting teeth, shape and pitch or
grade of the teeth.
Types of Files
• Single-cut files have rows of teeth cut parallel to each other, the teeth being set at an angle
of about 65° with the centerline. Single-cut files are used for sharpening. tools, finish filing,
and draw-filing. They are also the best tools for smoothing the edges of sheet metal.
• Double-cut files have criss-crossed rows of teeth, the double cut forming teeth that are
diamond-shaped and suitable for quick removal of metal and for rough work.

• Draw filing
Draw filing is when the file is
moved over the item with a
sideways action. It is a good
technique for removing
scratches left by the other filing
techniques and can be used to
polish the surface.
Screw drivers
• A screwdriver is a tool for driving screws and rotating other machine elements
with the mating drive system.
• The blade is made of steel, is available in different lengths and diameters & is
specified by the length of the metal part from handle to the tip.
• A typical hand screwdriver comprises an approximately cylindrical handle of a size
and shape to be held by a human hand, and an axial shaft fixed to the handle, the
tip of which is shaped to fit a particular type of screw.
• The handle and shaft allow the screwdriver to be positioned and supported and,
when rotated, to apply torque.
• A star screw driver is specially designed to fit the head of star screws. The end of
the blade is fluted instead of flattened.
Allen Keys
• The Allen key is an everyday tool that goes by many names. Commonly known as a hex key,
Allen wrench, zeta key, or hex head,
• The Allen key is a six-sided tool used as a driver for screws, bolts, and other fasteners
designed to fit the tool.
• The Allen key comes in several different shapes and sizes, but the most typical shape for an
Allen key is an L-shape.
• Some Allen keys come with a ball end on the longer arm of
the L-shape to further aid in reach and allowing the wrench
to be used at odd angles. The ball end, however, should not
be used for torque purposes, as it can easily slip and damage
the fastener as well as the tool itself.
• Allen key sizes are measured from one flat side to the other
as opposed to corner-to-corner. They come in an array of
sizes in both metric and standard and are available in
extremely small sizes other drivers are not capable of
accommodating. One of the advantages of the Allen key is its
contact points: six sides in contact with the bolt or screw
ensure plenty of surface area to turn the screw effectively.

Unsafe tools
Tools are unsafe if following precautions are not taken.
• Never carry a tool by the cord or hose.
• Keep cords and hoses away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• Disconnect tools when not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories such as
blades, bits and cutters.
• All observers should be kept at a safe distance away from the work area.
• Secure work with clamps or a vise, freeing both hands to operate the tool.
• Avoid accidental starting. The worker should not hold a finger on the switch button while
carrying a plugged-in tool.
• Tools should be maintained with care. They should be kept sharp and clean for the best
performance. Follow instructions in the user's manual for lubricating and changing
accessories.
• Be sure to keep good footing and maintain good balance.

Chapter 4
4.1 Introduction:
The process of evaluation of a specific in-house training programme on Confidence,
Communication, Presentation, Language and Body Language, which is conducted for the
students of Department of Management Studies, starts with a pre-training evaluation of the
identified trainees. The training programme is conducted on the topic based on Soft-Skills
which are required by the students in their daily professional communication which is related
to the knowledge and awareness of Confidence, Communication, Presentation, Language and
Body Language and their role in Professional Communication.
The students identified for the training programme are MBA 2nd semester students from
MBA 2 Year Programme, 4th and 2nd semester students from MBA 5 Year Integrated
Programme, the detail of which is mentioned in coming pages.
The process of pre-training evaluation starts with the identification and formation of a
responsible team who will be responsible for the conducting and evaluating the training
programme. The team comprises of our Head of Department, Faculty members and Staff
members who are in direct contact with the students. On the basis of interviews conducted for
the students and their class performance the team had performed a pre-training evaluation for
them. The process of pre-training evaluation has taken a week to get compiled scores of the
students on a 5 point scale, detailed in coming pages.
The process of training programme evaluation comprises of Pre and Post Training Learning
or Competency Evaluation and a Post Training Reaction Evaluation and ultimately
Intermediate Outcome Evaluation.
The process used for Pre and Post Training Learning or Competency Evaluation is Interviews
and Class Performance. Whereas, the Post Training Reaction Evaluation and Intermediate
Outcome Evaluation is done using Training Evaluation Sheet (Annexure.1). For obtaining a
feedback of the entire training programme a Trainer Evaluation Sheet is also filled by the
students (trainees), which will serve as a benchmark for inculcating further improvement in
our upcoming training sessions for better and improved learning.

It can also be observed that some of the students are unable to have any improvement
in their skill set in some of the key results areas identified such as Mr. Pawan Punetha
has shown no improvement in any of the KRA’s and Ms. Shraddha Bhatt has shown
no improvement in Confidence, Presentation and Body Language, which means that
they are required to retrain on the following KRA’s.
The results obtained above are required to cross checked with the intermediate
training outcome evaluation and reaction evaluation.

On continuation of the post training evaluation result of Mr. Pawan Punetha and Ms.
Shraddha Bhatt, it is observed in their reaction evaluation and intermediate training
outcome evaluation that there is a higher level target setting of self or reaction
evaluation of Mr. Pawan Punetha for himself i.e. 2. However during his intermediate
training outcome evaluation he is not able to meet these standards and that’s why his
evaluation is only 1, and he requires a retraining. Where else for Mr. Shraddha Bhatt
her self evaluation meets her intermediate training outcome evaluation, which can be
interpreted as for the beginner level of training which she has presently under gone is
already her strength and she require training on higher level of modules.
Rest other students has attained an intermediate performance level which they have

On the complete study of Pre and Post Training Evaluation sheet it can be observed that Average skill Up gradation, on a 5 point scale,
for the students of 4th semester of MBA 5 Year Integrated Programme has reported an up gradation of Average Confidence as 1.231,
Average Communication as 1.2051, Average Presentation as 1.2564, Average Language as 1.0769 and Average Body Language as
1.2435 respectively.
The above results are an indicator to the successful accomplishment of training objective and a benchmark for upcoming training
programmes. The results found above are well indicator that average skill up gradation in any key responsibility area is more than 1. It is
also an indicator that on successful accomplishment of basis level of training we can proceed further for an advanced level of training
programme.
Chapter 4
All the students have attained an intermediate performance level which they have self
assessed for themselves during reaction evaluation phase which means that their
reaction evaluation is equivalent to their intermediate training outcome evaluation.
Based upon the above information of Post Training Evaluation and Intermediate
Training Outcome Evaluation next training session can be planned accordingly with
advanced training modules.

Chapter 4
On the complete study of Pre and Post Training Evaluation sheet it can be observed that Average skill Up gradation, on a 5 point scale,
for the students of 2nd semester of MBA 5 Year Integrated Programme has reported an up gradation of Average Confidence as 1.4464,
Average Communication as 1.4821, Average Presentation as 1.5, Average Language as 1.589 and Average Body Language as 1.446
respectively.
The above results are an indicator to the successful accomplishment of training objective and a benchmark for upcoming training
programmes. The results found also represents that average skill up gradation in any key responsibility area is more than 1.4 which is a
qualitative improvement. It is also an indicator that on successful accomplishment of basis level of training we can proceed further for an
advanced level of training programme.
However, while observing Post Training Evaluation Sheet we can see that the performance of Mr. Kartik Bhatt does not show any
improvement in any Key Result Area (KRA). So, for deducing any conclusion we have to be dependent on Reaction Evaluation and
Intermediate Training Outcome Evaluation of the students.
Chapter 4
While studying the other results also we have found another case of Mr. Gaurav
Goswami, whose Post Training Competency Evaluation Sheet has shown an average
improvement of more than 1 point in a 5 point scale but his self reaction evaluation
does not matches with his intermediate training outcome evaluation. Which means
that, what he had learnt during his training programme he is quite able to grasp it, but
he is not able to implement it effectively. Failure of its implementation has resulted
into a gap in his intermediate training outcome evaluation.
Rest other students has attained an intermediate performance level which they have
self assessed for themselves during reaction evaluation phase.
Based upon the above information of Post Training Evaluation and Intermediate
Training Outcome Evaluation next training session can be planned accordingly.

5.1 Case: 1
Mahesh worked as a labourer for a gas utility in Nainital, Uttarakhand. When the opportunity
came to apply for a JCB front-end-loader operator job, he was excited. Five people applied
for the job. To select the one who get the job, the company asked each of them to actually go
out and work on the JCB for a day. Mahesh felt his chance for the job disappears, because he
had never even driven a tractor. When he went out, he did not know how to start the tractor.
One of the other JCB operators who was getting his machine had to show him. He managed
through the day, and to his surprise, did, better than others. He was given the job.
On his first day at the new job, one of the other JCB operator showed him where to check the
hydraulic fluid and said, “These old Massey are foolproof. You will be okay.” Mahesh told
himself how to dig a hole by trial and error. He initially believed that the best way was to fill
the bucket as much as possible before lifting it out of the hole and emptying it. He would
wiggle the bucket back and forth until it was submerged and then curl it. When it came out of
the hole, the earth would be falling off the side. The job was not difficult after all, he thought.
He cut through his first water line about 2 weeks after starting his new job. Going into deep,
muddy hole did not make the crew happy. After Mahesh cut through his third water line, the
crew chief pulled him aside and said, “ you are taking too much earth out with each bucket so
you don’t feel the bucket hitting the water line; ease up a bit”. Water lines were usually 6 to 8
feet down, so Mahesh would dig until about 5 feet and then try to be more careful. It was then
he pulled up some telephone lines that were only about 3 feet deep.
Realizing more was involved in operating a JCB than he first thought, he sought out Ravi,
who was known to have broken a water line only twice in his 15 years career. It was said he
was so good he could dig underneath the gas line- a claim that Mahesh doubted. Bill said you
need to be able to feel any restriction. The way to do that was to have more than one of your
levers open at the same time. Operating the bucket lever and the boom lever at the same time
reduces the power and causes the machine to stop rather than cut through a line of any type.
Mahesh began to use this method but still broke water lines. The difference now was that he
knew immediately that he broke a line. He could feel the extra pull, whereas in the past he
found out either by seeing water gushing up or by hearing the crew chief swearing at him. He
was getting better. Mahesh never did become as good as Ravi. In fact 2 years later he applied
for another job as gas repairperson and was promoted, but the training as a gas repairperson
was not much better.
Case Questions:
i. What are the potential costs to this training programme? Why do you think the
company operated in this manner?
ii. What type of training programme would you recommend: OJT, classroom, mentoring,
118
v. Would you consider purchasing a training programme for JCB operator? Provide your
rationale.
vi. Do you think that orientation programme will somehow control the on-the-job
performance of Mahesh? Elucidate.
Faculty Notes:
i. Internal dissatisfaction among Mahesh, which has resulted into his switching from
JCB Operator to Gas repairperson, would have reduced using induction and
orientation programme. On his successful selection as a JCB operator he was given a
direct placement without any induction and orientation programme, during which
Mahesh could have been introduced to the organisation and its culture. The
programme also tells him about job duties, job standard, job performance that he has
to perform and also the job stress involved in it.
iii. The experience and knowledge of Ravi can be a good way out for providing technical
training to the fresher’s joining

5.2 Case: 2
Woods Lumbar Company is a retail lumbar and home improvement operation that caters to
both contractor and do-it-yourself. The company has outlets across Northern Part of India,
with each outlet under the direction of general manger. One of the largest outlets, Rudrapur,
is located on the outskirts of a rapidly growing District and employs 22 sales people. The
home office wants to improve the customer service and outlets’ sales performance and
intends to use Rudrapur as a model operation. Given these aspirations central’s regional
manager, Kawaljeet Singh, has been instructed to assess the current situation at Rudrapur. To
begin, Kawaljeet sent some of his employees to pose as customers at the Rudrapur outlet, and
returned with reports on what they observe and experienced.
The report did not make Singh happy. A central complaint was the sales people behaviour.
They seemed to treat contractors much better than they treated do-it-yourself. Several of
spotters saw sales people leave the service counter to carry out extended conversation with
people who appeared to be their personal friends. In addition, sales people were several times
heard using crude and vulgar language in front of customers.
Singh summarised these problems in a memo and sent it to Mahendra, Rudrapurs’ General
Manager, along with the description of headquarters’ plans for the operation. Shortly after he
paid a personal visit to Rudrapur. “Listen, Mahendra,” he said, “this is a second rate
operation and headquarters wants to move it upto the world class. Frankly, I doubt that can be
done with your current workforce. I think you should seriously get rid of most of your sales
people and bringing in higher quality.”
“Oh, come on,” responded Mahendra. “You know that these guys know their stuff. They are
just a little rough around the edges- same as sales staff at all our outlets. It comes with the
Lumber Territory. Besides I could hire a new set of sales people who have great manners but
don’t know the difference between a two-by-four and a one-by-two. Then where would we
be?”
Singh knew Mahendra was right. None the less, something have to be done about the sales
force’s attitude toward customer service. “That may be true, Mahendra, but we can’t
capitalise on the do-it-yourself market until we turn around the behaviour of our people.
Rudrapur isn’t going to be a model of customer service and sales performance until we
smooth out those rough edges. How you do it is upto to you. Just do it! I’ll check with you in
three months.”
Mahindra is worried about the ultimatum. His sales people were not perfect, but they knew
the Lumbar business and some of them had been with the company for more than 10 years.
