1 INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The construction Industry in India, Which is having major linkages with building materialsegments, has been growing at 15% to 20% year on year, Mainly on strength ofincreased manufacturing activities, industrial growth, and heightened investments,especially by government in infrastructure and real estate. Vitrified tiles segment beingone of the building materials linked mainly to construction landscape has been growing
at 25% to 30% per annum, while the gap in the growth rate between vitrified tiles andconstruction industry can be attributed to newly capacity addition every year in the wakeof the paradigm shift and preferences towards vitrified tiles in place of old andconventional mosaic tiles, marbles and kota stones, etc.
Being one of the constituents building materials for construction activities and one of theimportant sectors in ceramic industry, Vitrified tiles segment is expected to constitutesize of 4000 Cr out of 12000 Cr Indian ceramic Industry. The production capacity ofvitrified tiles has been increased to 5,50,000 Sq mts per day contributed by about 55units which in the year 2009-10 stood at 3,20,000 Sq mts per day and 40 unitsrespectively. On global front, the consumption per head of ceramic tiles, which includes
vitrified tiles, come to 3 to 4 Sq mtr in Europe, 1.8 Sq mtr in China and 0.35 Sq mtr inIndia .

3.1INTRODUCTION
Production is the basic activity of all industrial units. All other activities revolve aroundthis activity. The end product of the production activity is the creation of goods andservices for the satisfaction of human wants.
The production activity is nothing but the step by step conversion of one form ofmaterials into another, either chemically or mechanically. This is done in factories whichhouse manufacturing process. The basic inputs of the production processes are men,machine, plant, services, and methods. The products of the mine, farm, sea, and forestare used as raw materials on which the processing is done to create or enhance theform utility. It should be noted that the finished product of one manufacturing unit doesnot always furnish a ready-made product for the ultimate consumption. In a chain ofmanufacturing activities, the finished product of the processor sometimes becomes theraw material for the other manufacturing firms falling next in the sequence.
Production in other words, is a transformation system where inputs are converted intooutputs. The transformation could be physical, location (transport), exchange based(retailing), warehousing, hospitals and informational. According to E.S.BUFFA,
Production management deals with decision making related to production processes sothat resulting goods or services is produced according to specifications, in the amountsand by the schedule demanded and at minimum cost.

3.3Name of the Product
Vitrified Tiles
The product that the group is producing here is vitrified tiles. These types of tiles are the
most demanding tiles and rapidly replacing the conventional flooring concept. Vitrifiedtiles are basically ceramic tiles with high proportion of vitrification and very low waterabsorption ratio. The phrase vitrification refers to the development of glass phaseinside the body of the tiles during the firing process. It occurs because of the meeting ofsome of the constituents of the tile body. Therefore the vitrified tiles are the strongestamongst the flooring tiles. Because of the high strength and very low water absorptionratio, vitrified tiles are widely used in the; High Traffic Zones like ultra modern shoppingmoles, theaters, offices, hotels, airports and railway platforms etc. Vitrified tiles arewidely used as flooring in industrial usage because of its acid resilient nature, vitrifiedtiles are the synonym for flooring of the modern age living.

Characteristics of Vitrified Tiles
Vitrified tiles are as robust and durable as granite or marble.
It has very low water absorption ratio, stain resistance, acid and grease
resistance and wear resistance makes it an ideals choice for industrial usage and
high traffic zones.
Vitrified tiles have a homogenous body. Is does not have a separate coating of
glass or color like glazed tiles.
Vitrified tiles offer strength in access of 300kg/cm2.
Ease in maintenance, anti slippage and state of the art designs with elegant
colors make it ideal for flooring.
It can resist wide range of chemicals including acid and alkalis except
hydrochloric acid.
The edges of the vitrified tiles are crafted sharps so that after fitting the edges is
not legible.

3.4Production Process in Detail
Raw materials used for manufacturing floor tiles are mainly different types of clays,quartz, sand, feldspar, talc, calcite, zinc oxide, barium carbonate, zirconium silicate andblinders, deflocculates, dyes etc. These are tested in the laboratory after receiving for
physical and chemical parameters and compared with standards
Batching & Grinding:-The production cycle begins with the batching and mixing of days, quartz sands, feldspars andcoloring oxides, reduced to fine and homogeneous powders by means of a wet-grindingprocess. The careful control of the parameters of the suspensions thus obtained guarantees thedimensional stability of the title in the subsequent firing phase.
Spray - Drying and Pressing:-The aqueous suspension thus formed is dried in spray-dryers, producing a granular powdersuitable for the pressing process. The colored powders, loaded on the press by means ofcomputerized batching systems, are compacted at high pressure into isocratic moulds thatensure the perfect homogeneity of the ceramic body.
Glazing & Printing:-A ceramic tile is covered by a thin vitreous coating called glaze. In the manufacturing processof floor tile it is achieved by applying layers of special mixtures on green tiles. To eliminatepossible defects of the surface, the green tile is first coated with a material called ENGOBE.
Next step of application is called base glaze. It is prepared by grinding specific Composition ofvarious raw material, frit & binders. After milling the materials to get required particle sizedistribution, glaze materials are sieved and de ironed with Strong magnets. After adjusting itsdensity as per pick up weight, enrobe and base glaze are applied on a hot green tile coming out
of vertical drier on a glaze line. Theology of glaze slip prepared, is checked and glaze lineapplication is commenced after matching trial tile with master tile.
Decoration:-After base glaze application, a number of decorations are applied as per requirement. At theend of glaze line, backwash is applied on the lower face of tile. The function of backwash is toprevent sticking of tile material to the rollers of the kiln. After the glaze application, the greenglaze tiles are transferred to the Kiln with the help of a transfer car.
Automatic Sizing Machine:-Pieces under going in a rectification process on their edges with semaphoring on line.
Product Development Cell:-Round the clock work is to ensure the wide range of tiles, available in different application basedproduct types, numerous sizes, colors, decorations, surfaces and special trims in order to meetall the contemporary building and architectural requirements. From residential floorings to largepublic building surfaces from bathroom and kitchen wall tiling to urban furnishing, DECOLIGHThas the right product for every use.

It isthere that the most avant-garde technical and aesthetic solutions are approved and it is therethat tests are carried out, ensuring the products comply with the main international standards.
Quality: Offering the best
Innovation: Always ahead
Design: A taste for style
Commitment: Environment friendly
Firing:-Thanks to a process that takes place at a temperature of more than 1210C, a product isobtained with excellent mechanical resistance, free of porosity and thus resistant to abrasion,strains and chemical attack.
The final shape, strength and other characteristics of the tile are obtained by firing.
Here the glazed green tiles are fired at 1100 C - 1200 C in gas-fired kilns. In the firing kiln, tile
undergoes various phase such as (a) Transformations and reactions like losing the water ofcrystallization, (b) formation of crystalline body phase and(c) Vitreous glaze surface. Theresultant fired tile with glossy surface and hard body is obtained in this process. The firingprocess is adjusted in such a way that eliminates water & carbonic material from tile withoutaffecting the output. The shrinkage of body also takes place without giving any cracks in the tile.
Sorting:-The polished tiles are subjected to quality checking and sorting. Where an operator marks outtiles with defects and segregates then into different categories. Such as first, second and thirdgrade quality.
Packaging:-After finishing and polishing tiles are stored according to first, second, and third grade andpacked in suitable box and under for dispatch.

5.1 Introduction
Taking a look at the world of human beings is a rewarding experience. Contrastsabound in this world. Beauty is juxtaposed with ugliness, mercy with cruelty,compassion with indifference, health with disease, happiness with misery,industriousness with laziness, and affluence with poverty. These contrasts remain so,
despite the passage of time, sweeping political and economic changes, and culturaldifferences. Contracts notwithstanding, one thing is certain-it is the people who make anorganization a success or allow it to be handed over to the Board for Industrial andFinancial Reconstruction (BIFR).
Human Resource Management is a management functions that helps managersrecruit, select, train and develop members for an organization. HRM is concerned withthe peoples dimension in organizations.
HRM is concerned with the people dimension in management. Since everyorganization is made up of people, acquiring their services, developing their skills,
motivating them to higher levels of performance and ensuring that they continue tomaintain their commitment to the organizational objectives. This is true, regardless ofthe type of organization government, business, education, health, recreation, or socialaction.

5.3 Human Resource Planning
HRP is understood as the process of forecasting an organizations future demand for,and supply of, the right type of people in the right number. It is only after this that theHRM department can initiate a recruitment and selection process. HRP is a sub systemin the total organizational planning. Organizational planning includes managerial
activities that set the companys objectives for the future and determine the appropriatemeans for achieving those objectives. HRP, then, is like materials planning thatestimates the type and quantity of the materials and supplies needed to facilitate themanufacturing activities of the organization. HRP is variously called manpowerplanning, personnel planning or employment planning.
Human Resource Planning includes the estimation of how many qualifies people arenecessary to carry out the assigned activities, how many people will be available, andwhat, if anything, must be done to ensure that personnel supply equals personneldemand at the appropriate point in the future.

5.4 RECRUITMENT
Recruitment is understood s the process of searching for and obtaining applicants forjobs, from among whom the right people be selected. A formal definition of recruitmentis:
It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The
process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications aresubmitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected.
Recruitment process is said to end with the receipt of applications, in practice theactivity extends to the screening of applications so as to eliminate those who are notqualified for the job.
Scientific recruitment is possible only when there is man power planning. Anassessment should be made and excepted qualifications should be decided by jobanalysis. Then, by utilizing proper source suitable candidates should be encouraged toapply. Thus, the process of recruitment extends up to receiving applications. The
selecting process starts thereafter.

5.6 Training & Development
Successful candidates placed on the jobs need training to perform their dutieseffectively. Workers must be trained to operate machines, reduce scrap and avoidaccidents. It is not only the workers who need training. Supervisors, managers andexecutives also need to be developed in order to enable them to grow and acquire
maturity of thought and action. Training and development constitute an ongoing processin any organization. Training and development refer to the imparting of specific skillsabilities and knowledge to an employee. It is any attempt to improve current or futureemployee performance by increasing an employees ability to perform through learning,usually by changing the employees attitude or increasing his or her skills andknowledge. The need for training and development is determined by the employeesperformance deficiency, computed as follows:
Training & development need = Standard performance Actual performance.
Training, as was stated earlier, refers to the process of importing specific skills.
Development refers to those learning opportunities designed to help employees grow.Development is not primarily skills-oriented. Instead, it provides general knowledge andattitudes which will be helpful to employees in higher positions. Efforts towardsdevelopment often depend on personal drive and ambition. Development activities,such as those supplied by management developmental programmer, are generallyvoluntary. It must contain inputs which enable the participants to gain skills, learnconcept and help acquire vision to look in to the distant future.

6.4 INTRODUCTION OF WORKING CAPITAL
Business capital is broadly divided into 2 groups; fixed capital & working capital. Fixed
capital refers to fund invested in such fixed assets as land, building, machinery while
working capital refers to funds locked up in material, work in progress, finished goods,receivable & cash.
Working capital may be defined as capital invested in current assets. Current assets
are those assets which get converted into cash within period of one year or less. All
these assets are converted into cash & cash received is again invested into these
assets. So, working capital is known as circulating capital or floating capital.
The main point of difference between fixed capital and working capital is like this; fixedassets are of long run duration and are not converted into cash within a period of oneyear, whereas current assets are converted into cash within a period of one year orless.

6.5 MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital is descriptive of that capital which is not fixed but the more commonuse of the working capital is to consider it as the difference between the book value ofthe current assets and current liabilities.
- Hoagland
Working capital as the aggregate value of all current assets of business.-Field & Baker
Working capital means aggregate value of current assets minus aggregate value ofcurrent liabilities. Linclon
Net Working capital= current assets- current liabilityGross working capital = current assets

6.6 CHARACTERISTIC OF WORKING CAPITAL
1. Short term needs:-
Working capital is used to acquire current assets which get converted into cash in ashort period. In this respect it differs from fixed capital which represents funds locked inlong term assets. The duration of the working capital depends on the length of
production process, the time elapses in sale and waiting period of cash receipt.
2. Circular movement:-
Working capital is constantly converted into cash which again turns into workingcapital. This process of conversion goes on continuously. The cash is used to purchasecurrent assets and when the goods are produced and sold out; those current assets aretransformed into cash. Thus, it moves in a circular away.
3. Liquidity:-
Working capital is more liquid than fixed capital. If need arises, working capital can beconverted into cash within a short period and without much loss.
4. Less risky:-
Funds invested in fixed assets get locked up for a long period of time and cannot berecovered easily. There is also a danger of fixed assets like machinery getting obsoletedue to technological innovations. Investment in fixed assets is risky investment incurrent assets is less risky as it is a short term investment. Working cap[ital involvesmore of physical risk only, and that too is limited.
5. Special accounting system not needed:-
Since fixed capital is invested in long term assets it becomes necessary to adoptvarious system of estimated depreciation. On the other hand working capital is investedin short term assets which last for one year only. Hence, it is not necessary to adoptspecial accounting system for them.

FACTORS DETERMINING WORKING CAPITALREQUIREMENT
Some important factors that affect the decision of working capital are as follows;
[1] Type of business:
The nature & volume of business is an important factor in deciding the amount ofworking capital. Public utility service as compared to manufacturing requires a lesseramount of working capital. Trading or manufacturing concerns have to interest largepart of their funds in working capital for raw-material, wages, salaries etc Ex.Seasonalindustry like kite & cracker manufacturing industries.
[2] Size of business:
It is a significant factor for determining the proportion of working capital in fixed capital.The general principal in connection is that bigger size of unit more will be need ofworking capital.
[3] Importance of labour:
Prof. V. K. Bhushan in his in his book said that where importance of labour in proportionis more, working capital required is also more.
[4] Seasonality of operation:
Firms which sell seasonal items usually have highly fluctuating working capital.Ex.Company producing & selling fans. The sale of ceiling fans reaches its peak duringsummer & is very low during winter. So, company requires heavy king capital during
summer months as compared to winter months.
[5] Market condition:
The degree of competition prevailing in the market also affects working capital needs.When the competition is very strong, then the working capital needs are quitesubstantial. Again large amount of stock has to be maintained to serve promptly thecustomers. The customers may ask for longer credit period. All this requires moreworking capital.Ex. Vodafone spent large amount for zoo zoo advertisement.
[6] Business cycle:
Business passes through a cycle of boom-recession, recovery. During boom periodsales are high so less working capital require. During recession sales are its lowest somore working capital needed.
[7] Growth & Expansion:
-
7/31/2019 Bharatsinh Final Sip.
53/81AITS, DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT
Those firms which are growing & expanding at a period pace need more working capitalas compared to those firms which are more or less stable in their growth.Ex. Reliance is growing & expanding rapidly so, it requires more working capitalcompared to other.

Studies on Working Capital Management
Studies adopting a new approach towards working capital management are reviewedhere.
Sagan in his paper (1955),1
perhaps the first theoretical paper on the theory of workingcapital management, emphasized the need for management of working capital accountsand warned that it could vitally affect the health of the company. He realized the need tobuild up a theory of working capital management. He discussed mainly the role andfunctions of money manager inefficient working capital

58/81AITS, DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT
management. Sagan pointed out the money managers operations were primarily in thearea of cash flows generated in the course of business transactions. However, moneymanager must be familiar with what is being done with the control of inventories,receivables and payables because all these accounts affect cash position. Thus, Saganconcentrated mainly on cash component of working capital. Sagan indicated that thetask of money manager was to provide funds as and when needed and to investtemporarily surplus funds as profitably as possible in view of his particular requirementsof safety and liquidity of funds by examining the risk and return of various investmentopportunities. He suggested that money manager should take his decisions on the basisof cash budget and total current assets position rather than on the basis of traditionalworking capital ratios. This is important because efficient money manager can avoidborrowing from outside even when his net working capital position is low. The studypointed out that there was a need to improve the collection of funds but it remainedsilent about the method of doing it. Moreover, this study is descriptive without anyempirical support.Realising the dearth of pertinent literature on working capital management, Walker in
his study (1964)2
made a pioneering effort to develop a theory of working capitalmanagement by empirically testing, though partially, three propositions based on risk-
return trade-off of working capital
-
7/31/2019 Bharatsinh Final Sip.
59/81AITS, DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT
management. Walker studied the effect of the change in the level of working capital onthe rate of return in nine industries for the year 1961 and found the relationship betweenthe level of working capital and the rate of return to be negative. On the basis of thisobservation, Walker formulated three following propositions:Proposition IIf the amount of working capital is to fixed capital, the amount of risk thefirm assumes is also varied and the opportunities for gain or loss are increased.Walker further stated that if a firm wished to reduce its risk to the minimum, it shouldemploy only equity capital for financing of working capital; however by doing so, the firmreduced its opportunities for higher gains on equity capital as it would not be takingadvantage of leverage. In fact, the problem is not whether to use debt capital but howmuch debt capital to use, which would depend on management attitude towards riskand return. On the basis of this, he developed his second proposition.Proposition II The type of capital (debt or equity) used to finance working capitaldirectly affects the amount of risk that a firm assumes as well as the opportunities forgain or loss. Walker again suggested that not only the debt-equity ratio, but also thematurity period of debt would affect the risk-return trade-off. The longer the period ofdebt, the lower be the risk. For, management would have enough opportunity to acquirefunds from operations to meet the debt obligations. But at the
-

same time, long-term debt is costlier. On the basis of this, he developed his thirdproposition:Proposition III The greater the disparity between the maturities of a firms debtinstruments and its flow of internally generated funds, the greater the risk and vice-versa.Thus, Walker tried to build-up a theory of working capital management by developingthree prepositions. However, Walker tested empirically the first proposition only.Walkers Study would have been more useful had he attempted to test all the three
propositions. Weston and Brigham (1972)3
further extended the second propositionsuggested by Walker by dividing debt into long-term debt and short-term debt. Theysuggested that short-term debt should be used in place of long-term debt whenevertheir use would lower the average cost of capital to the firm. They suggested that abusiness would hold short-term marketable securities only if there were excess fundsafter meeting short-term debt obligations. They further suggested that current assetsholding should be expanded to the point where marginal returns on increase in theseassets would just equal the cost of capital required to finance such increases.
Vanhornein his study (1969)4
, recognizing working capital management as an arealargely lacking in theoretical perspective, attempted to develop a framework in terms of
probabilistic cash budget for evaluating decisions concerning
-
7/31/2019 Bharatsinh Final Sip.
61/81AITS, DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT
the level of liquid assets and the maturity composition of debt involving risk-return trade-off. He proposed calculation of different forecasted liquid asset requirements along withtheir subjective probabilities under different possible assumptions of sales, receivables,payables and other related receipts and disbursements. He suggested preparing aschedule showing, under each alternative of debt maturity, probability distributions ofliquid asset balances for future periods, opportunity cost, maximum probability ofrunning out of cash and number of future periods in which there was a chance of cashstock-out. Once the risk and opportunity cost for different alternatives were estimated,the form could determine the best alternative by balancing the risk of running out ofcash against the cost of providing a solution to avoid such a possibility depending onmanagements risk tolerance limits. Thus, Vanhorne study presented a risk-return trade-off of working capital management in entirely new perspective by considering some ofthe variables probabilistically. However, the usefulness of the framework suggested byVanhorne is limited because of the difficulties in obtaining information about theprobability distributions of liquid-asset balances, the opportunity cost and the probabilityof running out of cash for different alternative of debt maturities.
Welter, in his study (1970)5
, stated that working capital originated because of the globaldelay between the moment expenditure for purchase of raw material was made and the
moment when payment were received for the sale of finished
-

62/81AITS, DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT
product. Delay centres are located throughout the production and marketing functions.The study requires specifying the delay centres and working capital tied up in eachdelay centre with the help of information regarding average delay and added value. Herecognized that by more rapid and precise information through computers and improvedprofessional ability of management, saving through reduction of working capital couldbe possible by reducing the length of global delay by rescuing and/or favourableredistribution of this global delay among the different delay centres. However, betterinformation and improved staff involve cost. Therefore, savings through reduction ofworking capital should be tried till these saving are greater or equal to the cost of thesesavings. Thus, this study is concerned only with return aspect of working capitalmanagement ignoring risk. Enterprises, following this approach, can adversely affect itsshort-term liquidity position in an attempt to achieve saving through reduction of workingcapital. Thus, firms should be conscious of the effect of law current assets on its abilityto pay-off current liabilities. Moreover, this approach concentrated only on total amountof current assets ignoring the interactions between current assets and current liabilities.
Lambrix and Singhvi(1979)6
adopting the working capital cycle approach to theworking capital management, also suggested that investment in working capital couldbe optimized and cash flows could be improved by reducing the time frame of the
physical flow from receipt of raw material to shipment.

MEANING OF RATIO ANALYSIS
An investor is interested in information regarding the exact financial position ofbusiness its earning capacity, the present position with regard profitability and futurepossibilities. He has only published accounts the company before him which wouldenable him to take any decision with respect to investing his money.
A ratio is this one number expressed in term of another. A ratio is customarilyexpressed in 3 different ways. It may be expressed as a proportion between 2 figures.The uses of ratio has become increasing popular during last few years only. Today, itassumes such an importance that anybody connected with business turn to ratio formeasuring financial strength and earning capacity of business.

Classification of ratio analysis
Financial ratios are useful indicators of a firm's performance and financial situation.Most ratios can be calculated from information provided by the financial statements.Financial ratios can be used to analyze trends and to compare the firm's financials tothose of other firms. In some cases, ratio analysis can predict future Bankruptcy .
Financial ratios can be classified according to the information they provide. Thefollowing types of ratiosFrequently are used: Liquidity ratios Asset turnover ratios Financial leverage ratios Profitability ratios Dividend policy ratios
