INTRODUCTION OF CEMENT INDUSTRY
1.1 About the Cement Industry
Cement is a key infrastructure industry. It has been decontrolled from price and distribution
on 1st March, 1989 and delicensed on 25th July, 1991.
However, the performance of the industry and prices of cement are monitored regularly.
The constraints faced by the industry are reviewed in the Infrastructure Coordination
Committee meetings held in the Cabinet Secretariat under the Chairmanship of Secretary
(Coordination). Its performance is also reviewed by the Cabinet Committee on
Infrastructure.

Capacity and Production
The cement industry comprises of 125 large cement plants with an installed
capacity of 148.28 million tonnes and more than 300 mini cement plants with an estimated
capacity of 11.10 million tonnes per annum.
Recommendations on Cement Industry5
For the development of the cement industry ‘Working Group on Cement Industry’ was
constituted by the Planning Commission for the formulation of X Five Year Plan. The
Working Group has projected a growth rate of 10% for the cement industry during the plan
period and has projected creation of additional capacity of 40-62 million tonnes mainly
through expansion of existing plants.
Technological change Cement industry has made tremendous strides in technological upgradation and
assimilation of latest technology. At present ninety three per cent of the total capacity in
the industry is based on modern and environment-friendly dry process technology and only
seven per cent of the capacity is based on old wet and semi-dry process technology.
There is tremendous scope for waste heat recovery in cement plants and thereby
reduction in emission level. One project for co-generation of power utilizing waste heat in
an Indian cement plant is being implemented with Japanese assistance under Green Aid
Plan. The induction of advanced technology has helped the industry immensely to
conserve energy and fuel and to save materials substantially.
The Cement Corporation of India, which is a Central Public Sector Undertaking, has 10
units. There are 10 large cement plants owned by various State Governments. The total
installed capacity in the country as a whole is 159.38 million tonnes. Actual cement
production in 2002-03 was 116.35 million tonnes as against a production of 106.90 million
tonnes in 2001-02, registering a growth rate of 8.84%.
Keeping in view the trend of growth of the industry in previous years, a production target of
126 million tonnes has been fixed for the year 2003-04. During the period April-June 2003,
a production (provisional) was 31.30 million tonnes. The industry has achieved a growth
rate of 4.86 per cent during this period.

Exports
Apart from meeting the entire domestic demand, the industry is also exporting cement and
clinker. The export of cement during 2001-02 and 2003-04 was 5.14 million tonnes and
6.92 million tonnes respectively. Export during April-May, 2003 was 1.35 million tonnes.
Major exporters were Gujarat Ambuja Cements Ltd. and L&T Ltd.
Recommendations on Cement Industry
The Working Group has identified following thrust areas for improving demand for
cement;
(i) Further push to housing development programmes;
(ii) Promotion of concrete Highways and roads; and
(iii) Use of ready-mix concrete in large infrastructure projects.
Further, in order to improve global competitiveness of the Indian Cement Industry, the
Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion commissioned a study on the global
competitiveness of the Indian Industry through an organization of international repute, viz.
KPMG Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. The report submitted by the organization has made several
recommendations for making the Indian Cement Industry more competitive in the
international market. The recommendations are under consideration.

11,000/- and certificate of honour.
MULTISKILL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING PROGRAMME
In 2001-02, the company started the concept of multi skilling to optimise manpower,
enhance skill sets and to facilitate cross-functional development. Unlike other
organisations who introduce multi-skilling for high fliers, the company started this concept
first for its workers.
Reason: The company faced a problem of surplus workers. Other organizations would
have resorted to retrenching and laying off, but this is not Shree's philosophy. Shree
optimally utilized its surplus strength by developing worker skills in other technical process.
This helped the company build in a redundancy factor wherein at any given point there
was always a skilled set of people for any function. The company reduced overtime
through efficient manpower utilisation, organised smooth functioning of the production
cycle, increased job security leading to a greater sense of belonging and strengthened
industrial relations. As a result the company did not lose a single day's work due to strikes
or lockouts.Employees were deputed for Multiskill training of fitter trade in different
Industrial
Training Centers.
Following the success of multi-skilling with workers, the company introduced this concept
with staff members. The objective was to enhance competencies and to enable managers
understand how an initiative taken by their department could affect the productivity and
performance of another department. This broadened the outlook of staff members, making
them think like business managers.

MANPOWER PLANNING
Personnel management is productive exploitation of manpower resources. This is also
termed as ‘Manpower Management’. Manpower Management is choosing the proper type
of people as and when required. It also takes into account the upgrading in existing
people. Manpower Management starts with manpower planning. Every manager in an
organization is a personnel man, dealing with people.
PLANNING
Planning is nothing but using the available assets for the effective implementation of the
production plans. After the preparing the plans, people are grouped together to achieve
organizational objectives.
70
Planning is concerned with coordinating, motivating and controlling of the various activities
within the organization. Time required for acquiring the material, capital and machinery
should be taken into account. Manager has to reasonably predict future events and plan
out the production. The basic purpose of the management is to increase the production, so
that the profit margin can be increased. Manager has to guess the future business and to
take timely and correct decisions in respect of company objectives, policies and cost
performances. The plans need to be supported by all the members of the organization.
Planning is making a decision in advance what is to be done. It is the willpower of course
of action to achieve the desired results. It is a kind of future picture where events are
sketched. It can be defined as a mental process requiring the use of intellectual faculty,
imagination, foresight and sound judgment.
It involves problem solving and decision making. Management has to prepare for short
term strategy and measure the achievements, while the long term plans are prepared to
develop the better and new products, services, expansion to keep the interest of the
owners.
Advantages of manpower planning
Manpower planning ensures optimum use of available human resources.
1. It is useful both for organization and nation.
2. It generates facilities to educate people in the organization.
3. It brings about fast economic developments.
4. It boosts the geographical mobility of labor.
5. It provides smooth working even after expansion of the organization.
6. It opens possibility for workers for future promotions, thus providing
incentive.
7. It creates healthy atmosphere of encouragement and motivation in the
organization.
8. Training becomes effective.
9. It provides help for career development of the employees.
71
Steps in Manpower planning
1. Predict manpower plans
2. Design job description and the job requirements
3. Find adequate sources of recruitment.
4. Give boost to youngsters by appointment to higher posts.
5. Best motivation for internal promotion.
6. Look after the expected losses due to retirement, transfer and other issues.
7. See for replacement due to accident, death, dismissals and promotion.
Job description
It will therefore need to set out the title of the job to which the employee is responsible
A job description will set out how a particular employee will fit into the organization for
whom the employee is responsible. It comprises of a simple description of the role and
duties of the employee within the organization.
A job description could be used as a job indicator for applicants for a job. Alternatively, it
could be used as a guideline for an employee.
Job specification
A job specification goes beyond a mere description - in addition, it highlights the mental
and physical attributes required of the job holder. For example, a job specification for a
trainee manager's post in a retail store included the following:
'Managers at all levels would be expected to show responsibility. The company is looking
for people who are tough and talented. They should have a flair for business, know how to
sell, and to work in a team.'
Job analysis, description, and specification can provide useful information to a business in
addition to serving as recruitment instruments. For example, staff appraisal is a means of
72
monitoring staff performance and is a feature of promotion in modern companies. In some
companies, for example, employees and their immediate line managers discuss personal
goals and targets for the coming time period (e.g. the next six months). The appraisal will
then involve a review of performance during the previous six months, and setting new
targets. Job details can serve as a useful basis for establishing dialogue and targets. Job
descriptions can be used as reference points for arbitrating in disputes as to 'who does
what' in a business. Selection involves procedures to identify the most appropriate
candidates to fill posts. An effective selection procedure will therefore take into
consideration the following:
(1).Keeping the costs of selection down
(2).Making sure that the skills and qualities being sought have been identified,
(3).Developing a process for identifying them in candidates
(4).Making sure that the candidates selected, will want the job, and will stay with the
company.
(5).Keeping the costs of selection down will involve such factors as holding the interviews
in a location, which is accessible to the interviewing panel, and to those being interviewed.
The interviewing panel must have available to them all the necessary documentations,
such as application forms available to study before the interviews take place. A short list
must be made up of suitable candidates, so that the interviews do not have to take place a
second time, with new job advertisements being placed.
The skills required should have been identified through the process of job analysis,
description and specification. It is important then to identify ways of testing whether
candidates meet these requirements.
Testing this out may involve:
(1).Interviewing candidates
73
(2).Asking them to get involved in simulated work scenarios
(4).Asking them to provide samples of previous work
(5).Getting them to fill in personality and intelligence tests
(6).Giving them real work simulations to test their abilities.
STUDY OF OPERATIONAL & QUALITY FUNCTION
In response to a galloping cement demand, Shree has been driving up capacity utilizations
across all its units. In line with its impeccable record of over 100% utilization rate since
inception, company registered an impressive operating rate of 116%. All the more
commendable when compared to the average pan-India operating rate of 94%. Even the
newly started Unit-III recorded 99.3% capacity utilization in its first full year of operations
itself.

Record Kiln Operations
Good practices in utilizing men and machinery have resulted in outstanding kiln
operations. Kiln-II achieved the twin distinctions of the longest runtime of 337 days as well
as the longest continuous running of 105 days in 2006-07. Highlighting the benefits of
sustainable operations is another fact. A common problem with kilns is stoppage every 3
or 4 months because of refractory failure. But, at Shree, Kiln-II ran continuously for 9
months without any shutdown due to refractory failure.
Raw Material Management
Commodity business is dependent upon naturally procured resources for its
manufacturing. The real challenge for SHREE is thus to manage costs and seek
alternatives wherever possible.The fundamental strength of SHREE’s business model
starts from its core competence in raw material management. Its innovative approach and
excellent risk taking capability has its business sustainable.
75
HiTech Mining

production increased 32% to 6.3 million tonnes in FY 07-08. They pursue manufacturing
practices which compare well with world cement industry. They have been awarded
highest rating for the 7th consecutive year by White Hoplema, UK. With continual capacity
expansion, they have gained expertise and knowledge to quickly put new units into
stabilized output mode.
Product Mix
Production of Pozzolona Portland cement (PPC) is both value assertive and eco-friendly.
At SHREE their production of PPC is increasing over the last many years, mirroring
industry demand.
Power Consumption
SHREE cement strives to reduce power consumption. It regularly invest in adoption of new
technology and practices for reducing its usage of power. Its unstalled and replaced a
range of energy efficient equipments in the year such as high efficiency fan and motors,
VFD etc. it continually looks at the ways to reduce the idle running of equipment. More
finer grinding of cement lead to more power consumption. The additional cost well
recovered through better price realization.
76
Quality Philosophy
The company's quality obsession covers the following:
Holistic perspective covering all organisational functions. Continuous improvement in
standards. Continuous reduction in cost Strong focus on start of the pipe solutions instead
of end-of-th-pipe reviews. Lapse prevention focus as opposed to a fault-finding culture.
Strong documentation process that enables product complaints to be traced swiftly and
effectively to the root problem. Performance improvement through knowledge sharing with
other plants.
Quality Assurance
Shree markets cement with certificates that testify to the high production standards
achieved by the company. The company's technical officers reach the customer's site to
inspect the performance of the material. Shree conducts special meetings with masons
and architects, impressing upon them the quality of its product.
Quality Initiatives

being externally assured.

Limitations Of The Study
The following are the limitations of the study, As we had a limitation of time, the detailed
report about the operations of the organization was not possible. The information given by
the persons may not be complete because of their busy work schedules The report suffers
from the limitation of meeting only the departmental heads because of lack of permission
to interact with other people.
Organizational Design
Organization Design is a formal, guided process for integrating the people, information and
technology of an organization. It is used to match the form of the organization as closely
as possible to the purpose(s) the organization seeks to achieve. Through the design
process, organizations act to improve the probability that the collective efforts of members
will be successful.
Typically, design is approached as an internal change under the guidance of an external
facilitator. Managers and members work together to define the needs of the organization
then create systems to meet those needs most effectively. The facilitator assures that a
systematic process is followed and encourages creative thinking. Hierarchical Systems
Western organizations have been heavily influenced by the command and control
structure of ancient military organizations, and by the turn of the century introduction of
Scientific Management. Most organizations today are designed as a bureaucracy in whom
authority and responsibility are arranged in a hierarchy. Within the hierarchy rules, policies,
and procedures are uniformly and impersonally applied to exert control over member
behaviors. Activity is organized within sub-units (bureaus, or departments) in which people
perform specialized functions such as manufacturing, sales, or accounting. People who
perform similar tasks are clustered together.
The same basic organizational form is assumed to be appropriate for any organization, be
it a government, school, business, church, or fraternity. It is familiar, predictable, and
rational. It is what comes immediately to mind when we discover that ...we really have to
get organized!
83
As familiar and rational as the functional hierarchy may be, there are distinct
disadvantages to blindly applying the same form of organization to all purposeful groups.
To understand the problem, begin by observing that different groups wish to achieve
different outcomes. Second, observe that different groups have different members, and
that each group possesses a different culture. These differences in desired outcomes, and
in people, should alert us to the danger of assuming there is any single best way of
organizing. To be complete, however, also observe that different groups will likely choose
different methods through which they will achieve their purpose. Service groups will
choose different methods than manufacturing groups, and both will choose different
methods than groups whose purpose is primarily social. One structure cannot possibly fit
all.
Organizing on Purpose
The purpose for which a group exists should be the foundation for everything its members
do — including the choice of an appropriate way to organize. The idea is to create a way
of organizing that best suits the purpose to be accomplished, regardless of the way in
which other, dissimilar groups are organized.
Only when there are close similarities in desired outcomes, culture, and methods should
the basic form of one organization is applied to another. And even then, only with careful
fine tuning. The danger is that the patterns of activity that help one group to be successful
may be dysfunctional for another group, and actually inhibit group effectiveness. To
optimize effectiveness, the form of organization must be matched to the purpose it seeks
to achieve.
84
The Design Process
Organization design begins with the creation of a strategy — a set of decision guidelines
by which members will choose appropriate actions. The strategy is derived from clear,
concise statements of purpose, and vision, and from the organization’s basic philosophy.
Strategy unifies the intent of the organization and focuses members toward actions
designed to accomplish desired outcomes. The strategy encourages actions that support
the purpose and discourages those that do not.
Creating a strategy is planning, not organizing. To organize we must connect people with
each other in meaningful and purposeful ways. Further, we must connect people with the
information and technology necessary for them to be successful. Organization structure
defines the formal relationships among people and specifies both their roles and their
responsibilities. Administrative systems govern the organization through guidelines,
procedures and policies. Information and technology define the process (es) through which
members achieve outcomes. Each element must support each of the others and together
they must support the organization’s purpose.

7. CONCLUSION
92
Learning is a never ending process which continues from birth of human being to his/her
death. It can also be done by reading book and through training and work. Spending 45
days in SHREE CEMENT LTD. was good learning experience for me. After completing the
organization study I come to know that academic learning is different and working in
organization and learning is different. After spending such precious time in an organization
my major finding in that particular organization are as follows:
Firstly, organization culture of Shree Cement is formal, where every person cannot
directly meet to High authority with out any systematic way which I considered was
good because it encourages employees at work.
Secondly, organization structure of Shree Cement is well formatted in which each
and every department plays important role.
Thirdly, in the organisation structure is divided into to 4 part one is in Finance,
Marketing, Operation & Quality, Human and Resources These all departments are
headed by different persons but at the same time they work for same objective with
full co-ordination which shows the unity level about the organisation.
Fourthly, all the employees and labourers work very hard towards achieving the
goal. Even the higher authorities work very hard without wasting time towards the
organization goal
Fifthly, security concern in shasun chemicals. doesn’t allow the outsiders to enter
into the factory without prior appointment or consulting the higher authorities. They
have a very effective security system.
Sixthly, Administrative head role in an organisation very important to make good
working environment the practice which I observed was that he was very hard
working person and he does his work very efficiently.
Seventhly, marketing department made me to learn about, how the customers can
be attracted by giving him innovative thoughts and ideas and benefiting to both the
organization and the common people.
93
Eighthly, an organisation study also makes me learn that any objective cannot
achieve with a short span of time it has to be done through systematic ways.
Finally, in any organisation time management play important role because each activity
should be done at a right time at right place.
8. RECOMMENDATION & SUGGESTIONS
94
Advertising strategies should be revised. More focus should be given on publicity
and awareness among customer should be there.
A price of Bangur Cement is much higher than other competitor’s brands and this
lead to very less margin of profit for retailers. To prevent this type of problem company
should provide more margins of profit & incentives to defer it.
The main & lucrative factor may for Bangur cement is contracted , relation will
create a smooth flow of sales for Bangur cement. So they should make more frequent in
contractor’s meeting.
We often see that retailers would like to sale only that product in which he gains
more profit, so we should give a good margin of profit to retailer.
In sales promotion activity, we should focus on counter meeting, contractor’s
meeting & retailer meeting, in which we can give some gifts and refreshments to
contractor, dealer and retailers.
They should offer POP material and other incentives to push the confidence in
Bangur cement dealers and contractor.
Literature can be provided to stockiest and retailers. This written material will also
help them to advertise and promote the product.
The major problem faced by the retailers is great transparency in prices so
company should make a policy for stability in prices at every stockiest in jaipur city.
Company should also provide more technical services, so they can visit every site &
solve the customer’s problem.
