PREFACE

Growing spiritually can be like a roller coaster ride. Take comfort into the knowledge
that the way down is only preparation for the way up.

In the current perspective we know that no knowledge is complete without knowing


practical aspect of it. Along with various interesting things concerned with enhancing the
understanding of MBA student, the 6 – 8 weeks training is also very vital.

The theoretical knowledge & conceited ideas are the enough background for the career
development but practical training is also having equal contribution for the purpose.

The industrial training is important in management education, because it aims at


improving the education level by giving it a practical direction and by it socially and
individually relevant.

Interdepartmental Relations
Store & Production:

46
29Bluestar India Ltd. Bharuch

The PPCS department decides the no. of units that are to be manufactured. Based upon
this plan PPC department runs ERP software – Daily Resource, Planning. This will give
detail list of all the materials those are required and to be requisitioned from stores. The
production department prepares a requisition slip filing a list of items that are to be sent
by stores. Both departments maintain records of material transfers.

Purchase & Production:

The person in changes of purchase planning & procurement daily sends the quantity of
products that are to be produce daily & based upon this the production is planned in shop
floor.

As per the production requirement, purchase department will purchase the items. It
requires along with specification the detail and the purchase material of specified quality
right quantity at right price and right time.

Production & Dispatch:


Once the products are packed and Information of particular product i.e. model and Sr.
No. are written on the packing. Daily production memo is maintained in which the model
and the Sr. No. are also written. The person from Dispatch / Excise will close the book
and only then the products are permitted for loading.

The planning department plans its strategy of production for year following 3 months
then for a week. The department plans a day prior according to the availability of raw and
the manpower.

The department conducts meeting regularly before every shift, for the rectification of any
technical problem or if lack of labor, raw material, problems concerning the daily target,
and changes in the plan is done if required according to the resource available.

For an efficient planning the production should be exactly as per the required plan.

Planning is not only done for production it incorporates the inlet of raw to outlet.
Planning is done for the purchase of goods i.e. how much quantity of any particular
product is required, how much of it should be allowed in the factory at the time.

46
30Bluestar India Ltd. Bharuch

The department also plans for the commodities to be purchased from other companies,
which can not be manufactured in the factory. It is better to purchase some of the items
rather than manufacturing each and every item in the factory itself because in some
products manufacturing may cost more than purchase. So accordingly department decides
the quantity and quality of products to be purchased from outside.

The department makes the whole plan according to the order being placed by the
customer so that the delivery is done on time. The company’s goodwill matters a lot.
Company’s goodwill is more important than its profit. If once the commitment is made
the company must stick to its words in any case, whether it’s profitable or not. If the
company commits to one customer irrespective of the profit occurring from any other
customer it has to keep its words for the first customer. The department works according
to the OTD (on time delivery) plan.

The company here follows the SAP (system application product development). SAP is a
software package developed for optimum use of resources of an enterprise in a planned
manner. It integrates the entire enterprise starting from the supplier to the customer,
covering logistic, financial and human resources. SAP is a package for cost saving.

Under the SAP system, the work is divided into three levels:
 MPS (Master Production Scheduling)
 MRP (Material Required Planning)
 CRP (Capacity Required Planning)

Master Production Scheduling (MPS):

The MPS specifies what end products are to be produced and when. The planning
horizon should be long enough to cover the cumulative lead times of all components that
must be purchased or manufactured to meet the end product requirements. This is the
schedule of the quantity and timing of all end products to be produced over a specific
planning horizon.

46
31Bluestar India Ltd. Bharuch

Material requirement planning (MRP):

For a manufacturing company to produce end items to meet demands the availability of
sufficient production capacity must be coordinated with the availability of all raw
materials and purchased items from which, the end items are to be produced. Dependent-
demand items are the components i.e., materials or purchased items, fabricated parts or
sub assemblies that make the end product. One approach to manage the availability of
dependent demand items is to keep a high stock of all the items that might be needed to
produce the end items. An alternative approach to managing dependent demand items is
to plan for procurement or manufacture of the specific components that will be required
to produce the required quantities of end products as per the schedule indicated by the
MPS.

the operations of punching and bending would be carried out.

2. For giving the shape of the inner part as well as outer body shape, the company uses
Inner Bending Machine and Outer Bending Machines respectively. Then multifolding of
the sheet would be done so as to form the outer part of the body. Following is a
multifolding machine.

3. Then inner Body is prepared with the help of Masking and Riveting. Coil is fitted on
the inner side of the body which is known as evaporator coil.

4. Then puffing of lid as well as the body of the freezer would be done. Puffing is a
procedure for maintaining a inner temperature from the effect of external environment.
The puffing procedure of deep freezer is also same as that of water cooler.

5. They are using two chemicals Iso Cyanide and Polyol in the ratio of 1:1.2.

6. After puffing of the machines, lid of the freezer would be assembled by using hinge
and handle. And then Compressor and Condenser are fitted and brazing is done on the
joints of the system tubing.

7. Vacuuming and Charging is done through Galileo TP machine. In Compressor the gas
R134a is filled and the quantity to be filled would vary from model to model.

8. The machines are then brought down for harnessing i.e. wiring is done at the back side
of the machine. After this high voltage test would be carried out and would be checker
for leakage, if any.

9. Then performance test of each and every freezer would be carried out. For the
performance testing they carry out run test of each machine for 2-3 hours because deep

46
34Bluestar India Ltd. Bharuch

freezers are basically used for preserving ice creams and if there is any problem in its
cooling capacity then ice cream stored in it would be melted.

10. Then cleaning of the machines would be done and final assembly would be done
whereby the handle of the lid would be locked and key would be tied with hinge and then
Blue Star logo, Quality accepted sticker and User manual would be kept inside the
machine. Wheels would be fitted to the machine and then all the machines would be
packed and would be kept at the designated area.

2. COLD ROOM AND COOLING


UNIT
MANUFACTURING PROCESS:

1. Slitting line:
The purpose of this machine is for straightening the sheets which are in coil form. For
this it is passed from decoiler and then cutting is done to the length on the sheets. The
operation being carried out by the machine is on the basis of the software programmed
and based on the command given.

2. Corner Notching:
In this operation shape is given to the corner. From all the sides of sheet metal cutting is
done on the corners of the sheet as per the specification.

46
35Bluestar India Ltd. Bharuch

3. Punching:
The sheets would be set by the operators on the roller conveyor and then the operator
would set the punching tool on the basis of scale which is attached on the side of the
machine and punching would be carried out on the sheets.

4. Roll forming & End folding:


The roll is having bend on it and the roll is formed on the roll forming as per the standard
dimensions and then both the ends of the sheet would be folded.

5. Gasketing:
The operators would be fitting gasketing on the corners of the sheets for the purpose of
leakage resistance and for maintaining of cooling.

6. Puffing:
After gasketing is done on the sheets, the sheets are then taken for the process of puffing.
There are four different machines like Iso wall Press, CNR Press, Door Press and Kolpak
Press whereby puffing would be carried out in the walls, ceiling, door and floor panel.

Cooling Units:

Cooling units are meant for maintaining temperatures required in cold rooms for cooler
(+ve temp) or freezer (-ve temp) applications. It is similar to that of split air conditioners
which is divided into inside and outside unit. The inside unit consist of evaporator coil
and electric fan motor and outside the unit compressors are mounted, copper tubing is
done and electrical wiring is done and it would be assembled at the site where cold room
would be prepared through a rod.

46
36Bluestar India Ltd. Bharuch

3. FABRICATION SHOP:

MANUFACTURING PROCESS:
The designing work of parts and body is done in this shop. Here the sheet is bent and cut
according to the requirements. The shop uses machines some of which are fully
automatic, while some are semi automatic and some machines also work with the help of
computer programming.

Fabrication shop is mainly divided into two:


1. Punching and Embossing
2. Bending

Punching and Embossing:


In this section punching of the sheets is done. The punches of required shape and size are
done on the sheets of required shape and size. The section uses Amada 3-7-5 (machine)
where 30 denote capacity, 70 denote its length along y axis, and 50 denote its length
along x axis
Bending:
In this section bending of the sheets is done. The required shape is given to the sheet by
giving proper wrinkle less bends. ‘CNC hydraulic press break’ machine is used for this
purpose.

Amada 3-7-5:
This is a computer numeric control (CNC) machine. The processing done by this machine
based the programmed prepared. After the programming is done then clamps would be

46
37Bluestar India Ltd. Bharuch

set up. Only the operator has to do is to load the sheets on the machine. Based on the
command given to the computer, punching would be carried out automatically.

4. WATER COOLER:

MANUFACTURING PROCESS:

Explanation:

46
38Bluestar India Ltd. Bharuch

1. The metal sheets from the fabrication shop would be brought down to prepare a cabinet
to form the outer body of the WAC. The outer body is prepared by riveting.

2. As the outer body is being prepared the tank and bush would be inserted inside the
outer body. The water containing tank is at the top and is of a water proof nature and is
surrounded by a copper coated evaporator wire.

3. Then thermal breaker stripes are inserted in such a way that it touches the sides of the
tank and masking tapes would be applied between thermal breaker and the tank. This is
done in order to avoid any puff leakage.

4. After the body has been assembled and a division has been created to divide the lower
and upper portions PUF [Poly Urethane Foam] is pumped in the area between the water
tank and supporting body, so that insulation takes place. After cooling for 2-3hours the
PUFF turns into solid state.

5. Now Condenser, Fan and motor fitting is carried out at one station. Then compressor is
mounted on the outer side of the Water cooler body.

6. With the above components being fitted, system tubing is being prepared and brazing
is done whereby wielding on the joints of the system tubing is made. Then the machines
are brought down for leak test.

7. The next station is Vacuuming process which is done for the purpose of cleaning of
moisture and rust. Vacuuming has to be done up to 50 microns till 15 minutes and
Charging should be done immediately after vacuuming. There are two gases available for
charging. One of them is R-22 and another one is R-134A.

8. The machines are then brought down for harnessing i.e. wiring is done at the back side
of the machine whereby the copper wires attached to the water tank are joined to the
compressor and electrical wires from the fan-motor to the compressor and the source for
electrical supply is made. Then again leak test checking would be done and if it is found
o.k. they are moved for the Pull down Testing.

46
39Bluestar India Ltd. Bharuch

9. After carrying out testing of the machines, the machines are cleaned to remove puff
leakage and tank is also cleaned properly with oil and after that the final assembly is
done.

10. After the final assembly and inspection the machines are packed and then dispatched
at their respective locations.

Research Project
Introduction

Definition:-

Employee loyalty can be defined as employees being committed to the success of the
Organization and believing that working for this organization is their best option. Not
only do they plan to remain with the organization, but they do not actively search for
alternative employment and are not responsive to offers.

Employee loyalty is synonymous with achieving a balance that brings feelings of


connection along with a commitment to produce. Ultimately, loyal employees can bring
some BIG benefits. Loyal employees promote customer satisfaction - a critical
component in business. Satisfied/loyal customers (also known as repeat business) are less
price-sensitive and they bring in referrals for new business. And, loyal employees, who
tend to stay put, can help keep recruiting and training (of new hires) costs to a minimal.
(However, don't confuse longevity with loyalty. Just because someone is there long-term
doesn't mean that she is loyal.)

The following 13 tips are what you need to know about employee loyalty.

1. Set a good example. Show your employees that you take work seriously. If you are
out shopping or busy making plans for the weekend, your employees will follow suit.

2. Create clear boundaries. Your employees can have many friends, but only one
employer. Yes, you want to be friendly but not at the cost of establishing your unique role
and position. Most employees will be delighted to have a boss that can be depended upon
to make difficult decisions, call the shots, and resolve awkward or burdensome problems
- tasks they would never present to a friend or co-worker.

46
88Bluestar India Ltd. Bharuch

3. Outline each employee's sphere of influence. Each staff member should be clear
about where his/her own domain starts and stops. This kind of definition fosters a sense
of pride while preventing boundary overstepping and turf wars between employees.

4. Show your employees that you are loyal to them. Never belittle or criticize an
employee in public. Avoid threats or any action that might give an employee a reason to
question your commitment to him/her. Instead carefully present your criticisms and see
"mistakes" as opportunities for learning.

5. Give your employees something to be proud of. Strive to make your organization the
best it can be. Whether you are the CEO of a large corporation, a supervisor in a
governmental organization, or running a Mom-and-Pop shop, you want your product and
service to shine so that everyone involved has a sense of pride and accomplishment.

6. Do good deeds. Have an outreach plan that gives both you and your employees a
chance to interact with, and give back to, the larger community in a positive way.

7. Reward your employees. Money cannot buy loyalty but money does serve as a
metaphor, telling your employees how much you value them. Fair wages, appropriate
raises, and an occasional unexpected treat can go a long way in building loyal employees.

8. Cultivate peak performance. Provide your employees with training and development
opportunities so that they can learn and grow. And, as they develop, challenge them to set
and meet high expectations.

9. Foster a team mentality. Encourage your employees to communicate their ideas and
allow them to influence company practices and policies. Likewise, share your own vision
for the future and your thoughts as to how you will all get there together.

10. Recognize and respond. Everyone appreciates positive feedback. And, once it
becomes clear that you are willing and able to provide it, most employees will go the
extra mile in order to get it.

11. Build solid relationships. Find common ground, share life experiences, prove your
trustworthiness, and be patient as strong relationships blossom over time.

46
89Bluestar India Ltd. Bharuch

12. The Platinum Rule. There is no blueprint for fostering employee loyalty. As you go
about your business, remember that each employee must be seen as an individual - what
works in some cases will bring disaster in another. Forget the golden rule - don't treat
your employees, as you want to be treated. Instead, find out what each of them needs and
wants and proceed with that in mind.

13. Be yourself. Find your own management style. Somewhere between "surrogate
mother," who is more caretakers then boss and the Leona Helmsley stereotype, who
responds to employees with contempt and ridicule, each of us can find our own happy
medium.

Literature Review
Loyal following: bringing employee loyalty back from the dead

Robert McGarvey, May, 1998 by Robert McGarvey

In 1996, when Walnut Creek, California, personnel expert Ethan Winning surveyed 742
employees in six different industries, from high-tech to insurance, a staggering 67 percent
told him their loyalty had decreased. "There's no doubt that loyalty is in trouble," says
Winning.

Managers could scarcely expect other results. More than 4 million jobs have been
"downsized" just since 1989, according to numbers collected by Challenger, Gray &
Christmas Inc., a Chicago outplacement firm. "It should come as no surprise to
management that employees feel unconnected to companies that have seemingly shown
little regard for their well-being," says James Challenger, president of the firm.

"Downsizing changed all the old rules," adds Herman. "It fundamentally altered the
employer-employee relationship. Employers once preached job security. The message of
downsizing was that corporate loyalty to employees is dead. Therefore, employee loyalty
also died."

Employees have every reason to be skeptical about a company that promises long-term
security and asks for loyalty in return - that's no longer a believable deal. But just because
the old reasons for loyalty have evaporated, does it follow that the loyalty itself has
disappeared?

At least one source says reports of the death of employee loyalty are premature:
"Employee loyalty isn't dead. It's simply taken new forms in today's job market," says
Liza Fiore of Interim Services Inc., a Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, firm that specializes in job
placement.

1. Cultivating Employee Loyalty

By Ryan Scholz, Source:


http://www.articlesbase.com/management-articles/cultivating-
employee-loyalty-1211577.html

Recent statistics show that workers in their twenties change jobs every two years. The
percentage of people now working as "free agents" is over 28 percent and growing each
year. Free agents include contractors, independent professionals, temporary and part time
workers, and freelancers. Another 17 percent of the work force express the desire to be a
free agent. Speculation is that by the end of the decade, almost 50 percent of the
workforce will be free agents. More workers want to be their own boss and have fewer
restrictions on balancing their work and personal lives

The free agent mentality in the emerging work force creates new challenges for
management in attracting and retaining the talent needed to operate a business.

Another factor is that being with an organization is no longer viewed as a source of


security.

People are not loyal to companies or organizations-they are loyal to jobs which provide
meaning and purpose. For example, a nurse can be highly loyal to the profession of
nursing, but not loyal to a specific hospital. As long as the job provides meaning and
purpose to the nurse, it is almost irrelevant where that purpose is achieved. Therefore, the
nurse will seek the highest pay and best working conditions in order to achieve the
purpose.

Companies cannot expect unlimited and unquestioned loyalty by its employees. Today's
workers have multiple and competing loyalties. They may have families, outside
interests, and career aspirations that all compete with the company for loyalty.

46
93Bluestar India Ltd. Bharuch

Loyalty to personal interests such as a career and loyalty to the company do not have to
be mutually exclusive.
Here are a a few suggestions based on an article by Linda Hill, Professor of Business
Administration at Harvard University:
1. Align career growth with company goals.
2. Design work with variety and autonomy
3. Focus on relationships.
4. Highlight the link between employees' values and the company's mission.

2. Five Principles to Revitalize Employee Loyalty and

Commitment
by Jim Harris, Ph.D, from R&D Innovator Volume
5, Number 8 , August 1996

Dr. Harris is president of The Jim Harris Group, Indian Rocks Beach, Florida (813-596-
5749) that helps organizations build a loyal, productive, and motivated workforce. He is
author of Getting Employees to Fall in Love with Your Company (Amacom, New York,
1996), from which this article is adapted.

Here are five principles embraced by the world’s best-run companies that help revitalize
employee loyalty and commitment.

Principle #1: Capture the Heart

Principle #2: Open Communication

Principle #3: Create Partnerships

Principle #4: Drive Learning

Principle #5: Emancipate Action

Technology Worker's Loyalty is Rising


A recent Report on Loyalty of over 2,500 IT workers by Walker Information found that
the number of loyal employees (employees who plan on staying with their employer for 2
years) within corporate IS departments jumped nearly 30% since 2003. Additionally, the
number of IS workers who feel stuck in their jobs has fallen by 33% in the past 3 years.
Only 21% reported they're not committed to their companies, but feel they have no option
but to stay, compared to 33% three years ago.
