way to they can in the process they go to interact with various personnel department in the
organization where he\she is completely a new entrant this help them to get inspired by the
working of organization in the competitive business world & thus gets to know the what, why,
how management principles.
There are several important aspects to consider about the goal of the business organization.
These features are explicit (deliberate & recognized) or implicit (operating unrecognized,
“behind the scenes”).
Ideally, these features are carefully considered & established, usually during the strategic
planning process. (Later, we‟ll consider dimensions & concepts that are common to
organization.)
condition in the organization. This study is generally meant to develop researcher‟s attitude
towards business environment.
Practically & theoretically it is likely a practical training given which will make me
prepared for the future job as manager of an organization. So it is observed that the project work
is a valuable part of the educational curriculum.
The study has certainly helped to add one more dimension in my pursuits to understand the
management theories, principles & practices.
CHAPTER - 2
Founded 1983
Cement is one of the core industries and plays a vital role in the growth and development
of a nation. The cement industry of India is the second largest producer in the world. The
production of cement has increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7 per cent to
reach 272 million tones (MT) during FY 06–13. The production capacity is expected to grow to
550 MT by FY 20. India's potential in infrastructure is huge. The country is expected to become
the world's third largest construction market by 2025, adding 11.5 million homes a year to
become a US$ 1 trillion a year market, according to a study by Global Construction Perspectives
and Oxford Economics
Notwithstanding its current position as one of the leaders in cement production, India‟s riches in
the sector remain somewhat untapped. “Lafarge's India business has been very successful and the
country is among the top 10 markets globally for Lafarge. But going forward, we should rank
higher because of the potential of the Indian market,” says Mr. Martin Kriegner, CEO of the
Indian branch of the world‟s largest cement manufacturer, Lafarge.
The Indian cement industry is second largest cement producer in the world, with an
installed capacity of 144 million tones. The industry has undergone rapid technological updates
and vibrant growth during the last two decades, and some of the plants can be compared in every
respect with the best operating plants in the world. The industry is highly energy intensive and
the energy bill in some of the plants is as high as 60% of cement manufacturing cost. Although
the newer plants are equipped with the latest state of the art equipment, there exists substantial
scope for reduction in energy consumption in many of the older plants adopting various energy
conservation measures.
The Indian cement industry is a mixture of mini and large capacity cement plant, ranging
in unit capacity per kiln as low as 10 tpd as high as 7500 tpd majority of the production of
cement in the country (94%) is by large plants, which are defined as plants having capacity of
more than 600 tpd. At present there are 124 large rotary kiln plants in the country.
The Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) enjoys the major shares (56%) of the total cement
production in India followed by Pozzolana Portland Cement (PPC) and Portland Slag Cement
(PSC). A positive trend towards the increased use of blended cement can be seen with the share
of blended cement increasing to 43%. There is regional imbalance in cement production in India
due to the limitations posed by raw material and fuel sources, exploiting the natural resources to
the full extent. The southern region is the most cement rich region while other regions have
almost same cement production capacity.
The Indian cement industry is about 90 years old and its main sources of energy are
thermal and electrical energy. The thermal energy is generally obtained from cola ant the
electrical energy is obtained either from grid or captive power plants of the individual
manufacturing units.
Cement production increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7 percent in the
period 2006-2013, producing 272 million tonnes (MT). the production capacity is projected to
reach 550 MT by FY 2020.
The cement industry has been expanding in the back of increasing infrastructure activities and
demand from the housing sector. The department of industrial policy and promotion (DIPP),
report says that cement and gypsum products attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) worth Rs
13370.32 Crore (US$2.24 billion) between April 2000 and February 2014. The housing segment
accounts for a major portion of the total domestic demand for cement in India. In the 12 th five
year plan of the government plans to increase investment in infrastructure to an amount of US$ 1
trillion. The industry is expected to add a capacity of 150 MT during the plan period.
Some major initiative of the government to boost the cement industry are as follows:
An expert appraisal committee under ministry of environment, government of India, has
provided approval to India cements to double its capacity and set up a 40 megawatt(MW)
power plant at one of its facilities in Tamilnadu. The proposed expansion project will
come up at Dalavoi in Ariyalur district. The competition commission of India (CCI) has
approved the proposed acquisition of cement plants of Jaypee cement corporation ltd,
comprising an integrated cement unit at Sewagram and grinding unit at Wanakbori in
Gujarat by Ultratech cement ltd(BSBT). Giving impetus to green initiatives, goa state
pollution control board (GSPCB) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU)
with vasa Vadatta cement, a company with its plant in Karnataka. The cement
manufacturer will use the plastic waste collected from Goa as fuel for its manufacturing
plant.
The cement industry in India is globally competitive as the Industry continues to witness positive
trends such as cost control, continuous technology Upgradation and increased construction
activities.
Major cement manufacturers in India as also increasingly using alternate fuels, especially Bio-
energy, to fire their kilns. This is not only helping to bring down production costs of cement
companies, but is also proving effective in reducing emissions. With the ever-increasing
industrial activities, real estate, construction and infrastructure, in addition to the onset of various
special economic zones (SEZs) being developed across the country, there is remains a growing
demand for cement.
Cement is made out of limestone, shale, clay mined out of quarry close to the plant. The
raw material is crushed, and then heated at temperature in excess of 1000 degree Celsius
in rotating kiln to become clinker. Clinker is then mixed with gypsum and ground to a
fine powder to produce final grade of cement.
The technology is a continuous process and is highly energy intensive.
At present 93% of cement production in India is based on modern and environment-
friendly dry process technology and only 7% of the capacity is based on wet and semi-
dry process technology.
The cost of the cement is 29% energy; 27% raw materials; 32% labour and 12%
depreciation.

ABG projects are carried out under the aegis of the “Aditya Birla centre for community
initiatives and rural development”, led by Mrs.Rajshree Birla. The centre provides the strategic
direction, and the thrust area for ABG‟s work ensuring performance management as well.
ABG focus is on the all-round development of the communities around ABG plants located
mostly in distant rural areas and tribal belts. All Aditya Birla group companies-grasim, hindalco,
Aditya Birla Nuvo and Ultratech have rural development cells, which are the implementation
bodies.
ABG partners in development are government bodies, district authorities, village Panchayats and
the end beneficiaries- the villagers. The government has, in their 5-year plans, special funds
earmarked for human development and ABG recourse to many of these.
At the same time, ABG network and collaborate with like-minded bilateral and unilateral
agencies to share ideas, draw from each other‟s experiences and ensure that efforts are not
duplicated. At another level, this provides a platform for advocacy.
milestones and the aspects. Monitoring entails physical verification of the progress and the actual
output of the project.
Village meetings are held periodically to licit feedback on the benefits of surrounding
community Programme and the areas where these need to be beefed up. ABG tries and ensure
that while in the short term, company have to do enormous hand-holding, the projects become
sustainable by the beneficiaries over the long haul. Once this stages reached, company will
withdraw. In this way ABG does not build a culture of dependence, instead ABG will make the
villagers self-reliant.
Model villages
One of ABG‟s unique initiatives is to develop model villages, so each of ABG major companies
is working towards the total transformation of a number of villages in proximity to ABG plants.
Making of a model village entails ensuring self-reliance in all aspects viz.., education, health care
and family welfare, infrastructure, agriculture and watershed management, and working towards
sustainable livelihood patterns. Fundamentally, ensuring that their development reaches a stage
where in village committee‟s takeover the complete responsibility and ABG teams become
dispensable.
Project operations
The geographic reach, annual spends the footprint of ABG community work straddles 3000
villages across the length and breadth of our country. ABG will reach out to more than 7 million
people annually. Over 60 percent of these live below the poverty line and belong to schedule
castes and tribes.
The group spends in excess of rs.130 croreannually, inclusive of the running of 18 hospitals and
42 schools. The group transcends the conventional barriers of business and reaches out to the
marginalized as a matter of duty and to bring in a more equitable society.

5
S JAPANESE CONCEPTS
Principles of 5s
The 5s are prerequisites for any improvement program. As waste is potential gain, so eliminating
waste is a gain. 5s philosophy focuses on effective work place organization, implifies work
environment, reduce waste while improving quality and safety.
There is no hope for efficiency or quality improvement with dirty work place, waste of time and
scrap.
The five S stand for the first letters of these Japanese words :
Meaning
Seiri Sorting out
Seiton Systematic arrangement
Seiso Spic and span
Seiketsu Standardizing
Shitsuke Self-discipline
Seiri :
Sorting, keep the necessary in work area, dispose or keep in a distant storage area less frequently
used items, unneeded items are discarded.
Seiri fights the habit to keep things because they may useful someday. Seiri helps to keep work
area tidy, improves searching and fetching efficiency, and generally clears much space. Seiri is
also excellent way to gain valuable floor space and eliminate old broken tools, obsolete jigs and
fixtures, scrap and excess raw material.
Seiton :
Systematic arrangement for the most efficient and effective retrieval. A good example of seiton
is the tool panel. Effective seiton can be achieved by painting floors to visualize the dirt,
outlining work areas and locations, shadow tool boards. For improving changeover time with
SMED or reduce machine downtime through total productive maintenance (TPM) it is
necessary to have tools at hand. So a specific mobile tool cart was designed. An other example of
seiton are “broom carts”. As cleaning is a major part of 5s we custom made carts to hold brooms,
mops and buckets. Several carts have specific locations and all employees can find them.
Seiton saying would be:”a place for everything and everything on its place”.
Seiso:
Cleaning. After the first thorough cleaning when implementing 5s, daily follow-up cleaning is
necessary in order to sustain this improvement. Cleanliness is also helpful to motive damages on
equipment such as leaks, breakage and misalignment. These minor damages, if left unattended,
could lead to equipment failure and loss of production. Regular cleaning is a type of inspection.
Seiso is an important part of basic TPM; TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE and safety
matter through cleanliness is obvious.
Seiketsu :
Standardizing. Once the first three S are often executed by order. Seiketsu helps to turn it into
natural, standard behavior.
Shitsuke :
Finally, to keep first 4 S alive, it is necessary to keep educating people maintaining standards. By
setting up a formal system; with display of results, follow-up, the now complete 5s get insured to
live, and be expanded beyond their initial limits, in an ongoing improvement way; the KAIZEN
way.
The effect of continuous improvement leads to less waste, better quality and faster lead times.
Hints to 5s
5s are for everybody, it is hopeless expectation for subordinates to follow 5s if manager class
does not comply to it
5s show efficiency in time, transforming the physical environment of work area and spirit of all
employee levels.
UltraTech‟s inception can be traced back to the mid- 1980s with the establishment of
Grasim‟s first cement plant at Jawad in Madhya Pradesh. In 2001, with the objective of
increasing its reach, Grasim acquired a stake in L&T Cement Ltd. The stake was further
increased to a majority stake in 2003 thereby giving Grasim a pan-India presence and an
increased market share. In 2004, the demerger of L&T‟s cement business was completed
and Grasim acquired a controlling stake in L&T Cement Ltd and the name was
subsequently changed to UltraTech cement.
The cement business of Grasim was demerged and vested in Samruddhi Cement
Limited in May 2010, with Samruddhi Cement Limited consequently being amalgamated
with UltraTech Cement Limited in July 2010. In September 2010, UltraTech Cement
Middle East Investments Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of UltraTech Cement
acquired management control of ETA Star Cement Company, along with its operations in
the UAE, Bahrain and Bangladesh, thereby putting UltraTech on the global map.
Today, UltraTech Cement is the tenth largest producer of cement globally. It has a
diverse presence across the globe. The company has eleven integrated plants, one white
cement plant and one clinker station plant, which is based in the UAE. Further more,
UltraTech has 15 grinding units across the world: 11 in India, 2 in UAE and 1 each in
Bahrain and Bangladesh. It also has 2 railway bulk terminals in India, 3 coastal terminals
out of which 2 are located in India and one in Srilanka, UltraTech has 101 concrete plants
across 35 locations in India.
