Introduction
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). performance is also reviewed by the Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure. Its
Global bigwigs in cement

La Farge, France Holcim, Switzerland Cemex, Mexico Italcementi, Italy Heidelberg Cement, Germany
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 Industry

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.
A primer on the Indian cement industry

Highly fragmented (low entry barriers) Cyclical industry Highly capital & energy intensive Heavily taxed sector High bulk (volume) low value product Heavy dependence on 3 sectors viz. coal, power and transport

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) (ii) (iii) Further push to housing development programmes; Promotion of concrete Highways and roads; and 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.
Technological change
Cement industry has made tremendous strides in technological upgradation and assimilation of latest technology. The induction of advanced technology has helped the industry immensely to conserve energy and fuel and to save materials substantially. India is also producing different varieties of cement like Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement (PBFS), Oil Well Cement, Rapid Hardening Portland Cement, Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement, White Cement etc. Production of these varieties of cement conform to the BIS Specifications. It is worth mentioning that some cement plants have set up dedicated jetties for promoting bulk transportation and export.

Past years
The Cement industry continued its growth trajectory over the past seven years. Domestic cement demand growth surpassed the economic growth rate of the country for the past couple of years. Over the past five years (FY03-07), cement demand grown at a CAGR of 8.37% higher than the CAGR of supply at 4.84%. Demand for cement in the country is expected to continue its buoyant ride on the back of robust economic growth and infrastructure development in the country. The key drivers for cement demand are real estate sector, infrastructure projects and industrial expansion projects. Among these, real estate sector is the key driver and accounted for almost 55% of cement demand in FY 07. Cement is a bulky commodity and cannot be easily transported over long distances making it a regional market place, with the nation being divided into five regions. Each region is characterised by its own demand-supply dynamics. The Southern region dominated the cement consumption at 44.5 mn tonnes in FY 07, accounting for about 30% of total domestic cement consumption. Real estate sector is the booming sector in Indian economy. It promotes the infrastructural development and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the country. Everyone has the dream to have a house. And it is such a scenario where so many people now have started living in nuclear families. Break-ups in joint families during last few decades promote the people to buy home and apartments for their own. In the last few decades, the income of middle class people is rising. Which in turn increased the domestic demand for cement. Infrastructural development of any country depends on its realty sector development. For introducing foreign companies, hospitals, schools, townships, offices the country needs development in the realty sector. India's economy is a developing one. And Reality sector forms 5-6 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Large scale investment, rapid urbanization and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) are contributing to the growth of real estate sector in India. Government also promotes the international business groups to invest in this industry. It is such an industry where so many of job opportunity exist and it promotes several different industries like glass, iron, cement, painmt, steel etc.

Domestic Cement industry is highly insulated from global cement markets. Exports have been constant at about 6% of total cement demand for past few years. With GoI intervention, making cement duty free, cement is being imported from neighbouring countries. However, due to logistics issues and lack of port handling capabilities, imports of cement will remain negligible and do not pose a threat to domestic industry.
CURRENT SITUATION
Top cement companies record slowest growth in eight quarters
Warning signs are showing up on the countrys cement industry, as it struggles with escalating input costs and a forced inability to pass on the costs to their customers. Two of the top four cement manufacturers in the country have seen their profits slide in the quarter ended 30 June, while the other two witnessed their slowest growth in eight quarters. On Friday, Ambuja Cements Ltd said its net profit for the quarter fell 33% to Rs577.02 crore, year-on-year, while Grasim Industries Ltd reported a marginal 0.4% rise. Ambuja Cementss quarterly net sales rose 8% to Rs1,569.77 crore and its domestic despatches were up 5%, but exports fell 70% reflecting the export ban initiated by the government, which impacted six weeks in the quarter. Cost pressures continue to be unrelenting, Ambuja Cements said in a statement. Fuel and power costs in our plants are significantly higher year on year (34%), in particular cost of imported coal which has tracked global oil developments and shown no signs of abatement in the near future. Ambuja Cements also had an exceptional gain of Rs303 crore net of tax on the sale of its remaining stake in Ambuja Cements Pvt. Ltd to Holderin Investments Ltd, the investment subsidiary of Swiss cement major Holcim Ltd. Grasim Industries, part of the Aditya Birla Group, said net profit for the quarter came in at Rs672 crore, while revenue grew to Rs4,430 crore from Rs4,060 crores. Production increased by 3% at 3.99 million tonne, while ready mix concrete volumes grew by 61% due to the commissioning of new plants.
c
c
Few week before, UltraTech Cement Ltd said its profit for the first quarter rose 2% while ACC Ltd, the countrys largest cement maker, on Thursday reported a near 27% drop in its second-quarter net profit hurt by a surge in fuel and input costs.
FEW FACTORS WHICH MAY INFLUNCE THE CEMENT INDUSTRY

1. Foreign grip on local cement industry hardens With the proposed sale of Frederick County, Va.-based Riverton Investment Corporation to an Italian company for $107 million. 2. UK cement industry cement and clinker sales rise in 2007 The UK cement industry has published its figures for cement sales for 2007. 3. Contractors everywhere scrambling for cement
Increased construction along the Wasatch Front and elsewhere in the United States had national cement producers scrambling to cement. 4. Demand for cement in China to reach 1.3 billion metric tons in 2010. Demand for cement in China will rise 5.1 percent annually to 1.3 billion metric tons in 2010. 5. Energy efficiency and capital embodied technical change. 6. Decreasing oil prices. 7. competition for shipping, and other forces are continuing to drive material prices higher, etc

Ambuja Cements Limited

Type Founded Headquarters Public, Listed on BSE, NSE 1986 Mumbai, India Suresh Neotia, Chairman Key people N. S. Sekhsaria, Vice Chairman A. L. Kapur, Managing Director Industry Products Website Cement Cement and Clinker www.GujratAmbuja.com
Ambuja Cements Limited, formerly known as Gujrat Ambuja Limited is a major Cement producing company in India. The Group's principal activity is to manufacture and market cement and clinker for both domestic and export markets. The Company also operates a hotel through its subsidiary GGL Hotel and Resort Company. It has shown innovation in utilizing measures like sea transport, captive power plants, and imported coal and availing of govt. sops and subsidies to constantly check the costs. Ambuja Cements Limited was earlier known as Gujarat Ambuja Cements Limited (GACL). The company was set up in 1986. In this short span Ambuja Cements has achieved massive growth and presently, the total cement capacity of the company is 16 million tonnes. The company has three subsidiaries, viz, Ambuja Cement Rajasthan Limited (ACRL), Ambuja Cement Eastern Limited (ACEL) and Ambuja Cement India Limited (ACIL). Ambuja also has a strategic investment in ACC through its subsidiary (ACIL).
Ambuja Cements is the most profitable cement company in India, and the lowest cost producer of cement in the world. One of the major reasons that Ambuja Cements is the
c
c
lowest cost producer of cement in the world is its emphasis on efficiency. Power consists over 40% of the production cost of cement. The company improved efficiency of its kilns to get more output for less power. Thereafter Ambuja Cements set up a captive power plant at a substantially lower cost than the national grid. The company sourced a cheaper and higher quality coal from South Africa, and a better furnace oil from the Middle East. As a result, today, the company is in a position to sell its excess power to the local state government.
Ambuja cement is the first company to introduce the concept of bulk cement movement by sea in India. This resulted in speedier transportation and brought many coastal markets within easy reach. Ambuja Cements has a port terminal at Muldwarka, Gujarat. It is an all weather port that handles ships with 40,000 DWT. The port has a fleet of seven ships with a capacity of 20500 DWT to ferry bulk cement to the packaging units. The company has bulk cement terminals at Surat, Panvel, and Galle. The Surat terminal has a storage capacity of 15,000 tonnes and Panvel terminal has a storage capacity of 17,500 tonnes. Both the terminals have bulk cement unloading facility. The port at Galle, 120 km from Colombo, Sri Lanka, handles million tonnes of cement annually.

PEST analysis
PEST analysis stands for "Political, Economic, Social, and Technological analysis" and describes a framework of macroenvironmental factors used in the environmental scanning component of strategic management. It is a part of the external analysis when conducting a strategic analysis or doing market research and gives a certain overview of the different macroenvironmental factors that the company has to take into consideration. It is a useful strategic tool for understanding market growth or decline, business position, potential and direction for operations.
Political factors include areas such as tax policy, employment laws, environmental regulations, trade restrictions and tariffs and political stability.
Economic factors are economic growth, interest rates, exchange rates and inflation rate.
Social factors often look at the cultural aspects and include health consciousness, population growth rate, age distribution, career attitudes and emphasis on safety.
Technological factors include ecological and environmental aspects and can determine barriers to entry, minimum efficient production level and influence outsourcing decisions. Technological factors look at elements such as R&D activity, automation, technology incentives and the rate of technological change.
Identifying PEST influences is a useful way of summarising the external environment in which a business operates. However, it must be followed up by consideration of how a business should respond to these influences.

POLITICAL ASPECTS:
Cement plant is deemed to be manufacturing activity for the purpose of incentives for the industry in line with the approved policy of Government of India. All cement plants are entitled to "Industry" status. Such units are eligible for all concessions and incentives applicable to Industries. The State Government encourages flow of investments including FDI and provides full support wherever required. The State Government can offer customized package of incentives for prestigious investment proposals i.e. projects where total investments are more than Rs. 10 Crore or a Fortune 500 company is implementing the project. All cement Units with a connected load exceeding 100 KW shall be charged a concessional rate of Electricity Duty. State Financial Institutions and the Banks, in line with the approved policy of Government of India, treat cement plants as priority sector.
ECONOMICAL ASPECTS:
Cement sector uses low cost highly skilled human resources in which India enjoys internationally competitive advantage.
It should be emphasized that the internal strengths of Indian cement industry principally comes from domestic entrepreneurship and domestic capabilities.
Page 22
c
c
The impact of WTO and need for free trade areas can be observed by the fact that Indian firms have established operations in countries like Mauritius and Brazil while avoiding Eastern Europe.
Global expansion of Indian cement firms is in part funded by international capital. Indian companies raise a part of their capital requirement abroad via bank debts. This exposes companies to vagaries of interest rate fluctuations and inflation rate changes.
SOCIO CULTURAL ISSUES:

Expansion of cement development centers abroad by Indian cement firms is very limited and is mostly driven by labor costs.
Indian cement firms are used to intense competition in global markets. Most companies compete only on price and have gained reputation as price warriors.
Indian managers do not consider the need to customize software solutions for a foreign country to be a major impediment for global expansion.
TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS:
Export of cement and related services is heavily dependent on transport infrastructure.
Modern advances in technology and transport media has a revolutionary change in the scenario. Latest chemical analysis and there properties forced the industry to keep them updated.
The universal nature of Internet and satellite communication capability provided by Indian government has mitigated the importance of telecommunication infrastructure.

Also to organize global fests like Olympics there is demand of a very good infrastructure, thus technology matters.
PORTERS 5 FORCES ANALYSIS
Page 24
c
c
Porter's 5 Forces analysis focuses on the external factors of the industry. The original competitive forces model, as proposed by Porter, identified five forces which would impact on an organizations behavior in a competitive market. These include the following:

The rivalry between existing sellers in the market. The power exerted by the customers in the market. The impact of the suppliers on the sellers. The potential threat of new sellers entering the market. The threat of substitute products becoming available in the market
. Force 1:
The Degree of Rivalry
There are many companies which are into the business of producing and distributing Cement and there is heavy competition with them in terms of grapping the market share . There is no substitute product of Cement due to which this industry has no rivalry with other industries but in between its own community is has many rivals. The Indian cement industry faces dramatic changes, challenges, and constraints as it uses the global delivery model to transform itself into a knowledge leader competing with established global giants.
Since rival firms often hire managers and engineers professionals who have experience working at established firms, the labor cost for Indian firms is expected to increase as they compete to retain talent. Unless the Indian educational system can produce a large number of high-quality new graduates to meet the demand for engineers, there will be a gradual movement of work to other emerging industries.
Page 25
c
c
Force 2
: The Threat of Entry
New entrants to an industry can raise the level of competition, which may cause in reducing its attractiveness. The threat of new entrants largely depends on the barriers to entry. In Cement industry it is easy to enter but talking about Products it is tough because it depend on the reliability of customer. Key barriers to entry include
In industry Economies of scale is very slow because it take time to increases customer loyalty and whole growth is depend on that only. For new entrant it very big challenge for them to establish business because it require huge amount of capital and investment. In cement sector distribution play major role, without that it is not possible for publisher to reach customer so; its also a problem to new entrants.
In todays scenario cement manufacturing is a profitable business and many new companies are attracted to enter into this business. Then also there is no threat to the existing companies as they have been identified by their performance and services they provide to the customers. Companies are given exploring, disturbing and producing cement block on the basis of their financial, technical and performance. Force 3:
The Threat of Substitutes
The presence of substitute products in cement industry can lower industry attractiveness and profitability because they limit price levels. The threat of substitute products depends on: In cement sector once competitor got customer reliability then its difficult to divert customer mind. In cement industry price plays major role and its totally depend on market price i.e. substitutes price. The relative price and performance of substitutes. Shree cement ltd. is into cement manufacturing business where there is no substitute product so the threat of substitute is not possible for this industry.
Page 26
c
c
Force 4:
Buyer Power
The most important determinants of buyer power are the size and the concentration of customers. Cement industry has expanded their production to a large extent by their performance due to which they are able to satisfy the ultimate customers by providing the services. Brand loyalty is a negligible factor in the software industry mostly due to the concept of customized business solutions. But however there is the advantage of bulk orders being processed due to the fact that most of the firms cater to business to business prospects only. The reputation and the size of the firm also plays an important role in the choice of clients.
Force 5:
Supplier Power
Suppliers are the businesses that supply materials & other products into the industry. The cost of items bought from suppliers (e.g. raw materials, components) can have a significant impact on a company's profitability. If suppliers have high bargaining power over a company, then in theory the company's industry is less attractive. The bargaining power of suppliers will be high when: In an industry there are many buyers and few suppliers but in pharmaceutical sector there are many buyers and many suppliers so bargaining power over a company is not much this factor may attract to new entrant in industry. The industry is not a key customer group to the suppliers but pharmaceutical industry is the key customer to the supplier because for suppliers other buyers are few. Almost all cement company supplies cement on their own so there is no supplier power which can affect their business.

Huge land available for expansion of business in future. Govt is planning for betterment on infra structure thus there will be huge demand for cement. Booming real estate sector. Good relation with bankers thus for expansion of business they need not to look too far.
Threats
Changing customer taste, any time they may switch to other. Advancement in technology. Entry of new player.

The Balance Score Card Approach

The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a performance management tool which began as a concept for measuring whether the smaller-scale operational activities of a company are aligned with its larger-scale objectives in terms of vision and strategy. The Balanced Scorecard helps the organization to act in their best long-term interests. It was introduced by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton in 1992.The Balanced Scorecard provides managers with the instrumentation they need to navigate to future competitive success. The Balanced Scorecards includes four processes: 1. Translating the vision into operational goals; 2. Communicating the vision and link it to individual performance; 3. Business planning; 4. Feedback and learning, and adjusting the strategy accordingly. Kaplan and Norton found that companies are using Balanced Scorecards to:

Drive strategy execution; Clarify strategy and make strategy operational; Identify and align strategic initiatives; Link budget with strategy; Align the organization with strategy; Conduct periodic strategic performance reviews to learn about and improve strategy.
The Four Perspectives The grouping of performance measures in general categories (perspectives) is seen to aid in the gathering and selection of the appropriate performance measures for the enterprise. Four general perspectives have been proposed by the Balanced Scorecard:

Financial Perspective; Customer Perspective; Internal process Perspective; Innovation & Learning Perspective.
Page 51
c
c
The financial perspective examines the companys implementation and execution of its strategy is contributing to the bottom-line improvement of the company. The three stages are rapid growth, sustain and harvest. Financial objectives and measures for the growth stage will stem from the development and growth of the organization which will lead to increased sales volumes, acquisition of new customers, and growth in revenues. The customer perspective defines the value proposition that the organization will apply in order to satisfy customers and thus generate more sales. The internal process perspective is concerned with the processes that create and deliver the customer value proposition. It focuses on all the activities and key processes required in order for the company to excel at providing the value expected by the customers both productively and efficiently. The internal process perspective are operations management (by improving asset utilization, supply chain management, etc), customer management (by expanding and deepening relations), innovation (by new products and services) and regulatory & social (by establishing good relations with the external stakeholders). The Innovation & Learning Perspective is concerned with the jobs (human capital), the systems (information capital), and the climate (organization capital) of the enterprise. These three factors relate to what Kaplan and Norton claim is the infrastructure that is needed in order to enable ambitious objectives in the other three perspectives to be achieved. Note The company shree cement do not follow the balance score card approach.

ORGANIZATION 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! 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
c
c
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.
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 organizations 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
c
c
members achieve outcomes. Each element must support each of the others and together they must support the organizations purpose.
Exercising Choice
Organizations are an invention of man. They are contrived social systems through which groups seek to exert influence or achieve a stated purpose. People choose to organize when they recognize that by acting alone they are limited in their ability to achieve. We sense that by acting in concert we may overcome our individual limitations. When we organize we seek to direct, or pattern, the activities of a group of people toward a common outcome. How this pattern is designed and implemented greatly influences effectiveness. Patterns of activity that are complementary and interdependent are more likely to result in the achievement of intended outcomes. In contrast, activity patterns that are unrelated and independent are more likely to produce unpredictable and often unintended results. The process of organization design matches people, information, and technology to the purpose, vision, and strategy of the organization. Structure is designed to enhance communication and information flow among people. Systems are designed to encourage individual responsibility and decision making. Technology is used to enhance human capabilities to accomplish meaningful work. The end product is an integrated system of people and resources, tailored to the specific direction of the organization.

TYPES OF ORGANIZATION STRUCTURES

1. Functional structures
Early organizational design divided enterprises into relatively simple parts, splitting them into defined activities such as production, marketing or personnel. Functional organizations have the advantage of being simple to understand with clear lines of command, specified tasks and responsibilities. Staff can specialize in a particular business area such as production or marketing and follow well-defined career paths. This is equally true of human resource specialists who can develop expertise in specific areas such as employee relations or reward management. There are also major disadvantages to functional structures. People managers have to tread carefully because this form of organization is prone to interdepartmental conflict, often degenerating into 'them and us' tribal warfare. Coherence and good communication are particularly hard to achieve between virtually independent functions.
2. Divisional organizations
Split into self-contained units, able to react to environmental changes as quickly as small companies, they are also described as multidivisional or 'M-form' organizations. Divisions encourage team spirit and identification with a product or region. Managers can develop broad skills as they have control of all basic functions. Each division is likely to have a devolved human resource function. But there is a risk of duplicating activities between head office and divisional human resource departments and of conflict between staff in successful and unsuccessful divisions. The divisional function may play a coordinating role, reconciling decisions taken at the corporate and business unit levels. This results in a complex picture of people management.
3. Federations One variant of the divisional form which has a particular relevance because of its human resource implications is the 'federation', a loosely connected arrangement of businesses with a single holding company or separate firms in alliance. This form of organization has attracted
c
c
criticism from stock market analysts who find difficulty in comprehending its subtle informality.
4. Matrix organizations Matrix forms of management can be regarded (arguably) as an early form of 'network' structure. They focus on project teams, bringing skilled individuals together from different parts of the organization. Individuals were made responsible both to their line manager and the project manager involved. Before the advent of network technology, many matrix organizations were dogged by duplication and confusion: the 'matrix muddle'.

CRITICAL REVIEW
The most common complaints by the users have been: 1) Lack of Advertisement:There is no brand visibility of Bangur cement as a company. Advertisement ultra tech can be seen overall on Rajasthan at public places but hardly any advertisement on Bangur Cement. Thus we can say that marketing department is not working at its level best. 2) Less Wall-painting:Many sub dealers have not got any shop paintings. While carrying the survey it was sometime difficult to locate the dealers shop which shows that the company need to increase the promotion to make its presence felt. 3) Absence of company literature:There has been a limited company literature and stationary material and this had led to low recognition for the brand. 4) Online payment system:The dealers are finding it difficult to send the demand drafts for the payment of purchased material on the same day because of slow courier service. The dealers have suggested that they will make the DD on the same day but there should be at least 24 hours time before the DD reaches to the region. 5) Low margins:As compared to the others brands Bangur provide very low margins, so dealers are less interested in the bangur cement. 6) Quality of bags:It was often found during the survey that the quality of bags were inferior due to which the dealers faces problem while handling. 7) Delivery problem:Company should appoint people who ensure that the dealer & builders will get their product as per the same shown to them and in pre decided time because they complained of delivery problem and sample not matching.

RECOGNITION AND REWARD SCHEME

The management believes in the self-actualisation of its employees by injecting the concept of Human resource Development in all its policies and strategies. By recognition and reward the employees are motivated to give their best in the interests of the organization in particular and for the society in general. So many schemes of recognition and rewards are given to boost the morale and motivate the employees. According to Managing Director of the company, morale management is considered to be more challenging than material management. According to him it is important to keep walking around and congratulating the teams for their small victories. Efforts and their success stories are disclosed to all in special functions so that other employees may take inspiration from them. Employees are rewarded for doing exemplary work in the field of reducing/ eliminating breakdown, in-house development, better house keeping, and reduction in raw material, fuel, power and wastage.

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
c
c
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.
ASCENT PROGRAMME
Small groups have been formulated in order to institutionalize the process of learning, selfdevelopment as well as bringing continuity and inculcating the process of brain storming for self and organizations development.

Enterprise Resource planning

ERP is actually a process or approach which attempts to consolidate all of a company's departments and functions into a single computer system that services each department's specific needs. It is, in a sense, a convergence of people, hardware and software into an efficient production, service and delivery system that creates profit for the company. While the idea is easy to grasp in theory, the reality has been different. Most companies have a conglomeration of different systems and procedures (as well as hardware and software) designed 'specifically' for their own needs. Employee records (including payroll, medical and other benefits) are held by Human Resources. Financial data and processing, which includes payroll computations and employee compensation as well as invoicing and billing for company products and services, are held by the Finance Department. Production data is held by manufacturing. Inventories are held by warehousing. Customer orders are held by Customer Relations, and so on. The 'dream' of ERP is to have a single software solution integrating the different functions and activities into a seamless whole where information needed for decision-making is shared across departments, and the action taken by one department results in the appropriate followup action up and down the line. The most often-cited example of an ERP software is customer ordering and delivery where a customer's order moves smoothly from Sales, where the 'deal' is consummated, to Inventory and Warehousing, which retrieves and packages the order for delivery, to Finance, where invoicing, billing and payments are handled, and on to Manufacturing, where replacement of the bought-and-paid-for product is done.
Primary Benefit
Prior to ERP, each department may be considered an independent fiefdom. Once a department's particular function is completed, it no longer cares for what happens afterwards. A customer following up with Sales for his product will be told, "Check with Warehouse", who will then say, "Check with Delivery", who can tell the customer, "Please check with Finance to see if your invoice has been cleared". Efforts to integrate the system before always met with the stumbling block of different software and procedures. A sales person could not access the finance database to find out the

customer's billing status, nor can he easily access the warehouse, inventory or delivery to find out the status of the customer's order. With ERP, all elements in the supply and production chain can be easily accessed by all those who need the information. This leads to efficiency in customer management and perceived company effectiveness in delivering on customer expectations.
Other Advantages
An oft-overlooked advantage in having a workable and efficient ERP system in place is savings in relation to energy consumption and data management. Having an ERP system in place implies having a single hardware system to handle the different requirements, translating into reduced power consumption operating off a single database which translates into savings on storage. The savings generated from a minimum of hardware and storage, coupled with operational efficiencies created from a single system across all departments, translates into measurable profit for the company.
During the year Company has undertaken implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Project with Oracle E-Business Suite to manage its expanding business operations. ERP Project shall help it in improving its business matrices by process optimization, improving logistics and integration across disciplines. The project is expected to be operational in FY 2008-09.
Logistic management
In a material business such a cement,efficient logistic management is the key of higher profitability.when million of tons of low absolute unit cost input and output have to be handle,every penny counts.on an average shree handles approximately 43000 tons of material in a day across 3 location. Shree witnessed a significant price in logistic cost per ton from rs.324 in the previous year to rs. 484 in the current year.while a part of this was due to increase in fuel cost a majority of this rise isw due to change in pattern of sales.

c 1.the growth in production volumes meant higher dispatches which grew by almost 34%.\ 2.the commissioning of the graining unit is almost 6000 tons of clinker had be transopted from Ras on a daily basis. A dealy could mean are shut down at plants as it operated on just in time inventory system . 3 the increase in fuel prices meant that per tone transportation costs would be significantly impacted as companys new capacity came up at RAS from where rail transport was not possible.
Logistics innovations at shree

Clinker transport to grinding unit
They took several initiatives for economies in freight cost of clinker to their grinding unit commissioned during the year. A separate system of loading at RAS and unloading at KHUSHKHERA , independent from cement loading was established.
Truck turnaround time

The time that a truck takes to load and unload at the plant premises is directly proportional to the efficiency of the logistics system. In case of road transportation of cement , truck loading time came down from 15.45 hours to 12 hours. For rail transportation loading time for cement was reduced to 10 hours from 10.45 hours and for clinker, it was down to 13 hours from 17 hours.
Benefiting from inbound logistics

They produce petcoke from Panipat, fly ash from Suratgarh, kota, Panipat and Dadri and gypsum from Jaisalmer and Bikaner. They make sure that these truks are given return load of cement ,so that overall fat is reduced.
Specially designed vehicles

Shree devised special closed body trucks designed which can be used to transport multiple materials. They made full use of their railway siding facility available at Beawar. Plants and increased rail loading from 13.67 lac tone to 16.84 lac tone during the year. A proposal to link Ras plants with Beawar railway siding is under consideration which will pave the way rail transportation from RAs as well in future.

SUGGESTION & RECOMMENDATIONS

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 competitors 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 contractors 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, contractors 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 customers problem.

FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS

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 6 days in SHRRE 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. doesnt 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. 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.
