PART-A
1. INDUSTRY
PROFILE
India is gifted with large quantity of iron ore with high ferrous content, which is the crucial raw material for producing the steel. Hence India is one of the largest producers of Steel in the world. With the help of liberalization, globalization of economy in the process, there is as scope for economic development, with means there will be focus on infrastructure. This will lead to considerable demand for steel. As its main applications are in the construction Engineering and automobile sectors, which are the key elements in building infrastructure, Steel is universe intermediate and has very strong forward linkages hence steel industry has become one the core sector of the economy . Though India one of the large steel producers, it has low percepts consumption of Steel in comparison with developed countries. India is fortunate in having intensive iron ore deposits with estimated at 10.3Billion, which is more than 1/4th of the world reserves. Further the average iron ore content of India ore is above 60% in India, the iron ore reserves are mainly found in the states like Orissa, Karnataka, Bihar, M.P. Goa, A.P., Rajasthan and some parts of western Maharashtra. When, we think of the steel Industry, the first thing that comes in to our mind is our mind is pig iron .This is because of its name. When mental from blast furnace is paired in to Moulds and solidifies it assumes a shape which resembles the back of a pig, hence called as pigIron.
GLOBAL SCENARIO OF PIG IRON: The demand for the international has a sharp rise, the total production of pig iron. It is estimated at 500MT, in which developed nation accounts for 45% of the total production seeing the potential demand many mills in USA such as a Nucor, Norigstar, steel And Max steel are switching over to big iron production. DEMAND AND AVAILABILITY OF PIG IRON (000 UNITS) Years 1990-00 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 Demand 2900 3100 3300 3600 3800 4100 4400 4600 4100 4300 Availability 4016 4322 4650 4900 5750 5233 5474 5689 5434 5725
GROWTH OF PIG IRON IN INDIA: Before liberalization the pig iron industry was monopolized by the integral Steel plants to utilize the liberalization policy initiated by the Government. Decline in The pig iron production and paved the way of helping the ISPs be utilize pig iron for Making steel to gain iron value addition The integrated steel plant (ISP) is the major supplier of pig iron. Public Contributes up to 90% of the Pig Iron supply. According to the steel Ministry Report, Demand for pig iron is estimated to increase by 37% over next 8 years. Steel a versatile commodity, most widely used metal in the world, forms a core Constituent of all major economies. Accordingly, Steel Consumption is a derivative of the
Growth pattern of its various end use sectors VIZ. manufacturing, housing, infrastructure, Automobile etc. that ultimately steel the countrys economy The steel industry is believed to have been operating at around 90 percent capacity Utilization factor in 2004. As per International Iron and steel Institute estimates, global steel Demand has increased by around 8.8 percent. The strongest increase in steel consumption was recorded in North America (+15%) while the rest of the OECD India steel industry is almost 100 years old now. Till 1990, the Indian steel industry Operated under a regulated environment with insulated and large scale capacities Reserved for the public sector. Production prices were determined and regulated by GOI. The steel sector was Deregulated in 1991-92, when control on capacity and prices were abolished along with Quantitative trade restrictions. Import tariffs were also brought down substantially. In 200001,The Indian steel industry operated at finished steel production level of 26.7 million tones with Apparent finished steel consumption at 26.9 million tones. However, with the onset of Liberalization, the India steel sector witnessed entry of several domestic private players and large private investments flowed in along to the sector to add fresh capacities. In 2004- 05, the indigenous production of steel was 38.4 million tones along with apparent finished steel consumption at 33.4 million tones. Today, India produces steel of international standards conforming to almost all grades and varieties and has been a net exporter for the past few years, which shows the growing Acceptability of its products in the global market, and most importantly its increasing global Competitiveness. World steel Industry Steel, the recycled material is one of the top products in the manufacturing sector of the world. The Asian countries have their respective dominance in the production of the steel all over the world. India being one among the fastest growing economies of the world has-been considered as one of the potential global steel hub internationally. Over the years. Particularly after the adoption of the liberalization policies all over the world, the world steel industry is growing very fast.
The following table gives a clear picture upon the major crude steel producers In the world as Of the year 2010: country China Japan United state Crude steel production (Million Tonnes/Pa) 272.5 112.7 98.9
Russia South Korea Germany Ukraine Brazil India Italy
65.6 47.5 46.4 38.7 32.9 32.6 22.4
STEPS TAKEN TO BOOST STEEL INDUSTRY IN INDIA: In budget 2004-05, the customs duty on non alloy steel was reduced from 15to10percent and on alloy steel from 20percent to 15 percent IN August 2004, customs duty on non was further reduced from 10percent to5 percent ; on melting scrape from 5 percent to zero and on ships for breaking from 15 percent to 5 per cent. Further, customs duty on several raw materials used by steel sector like non- coking coal, met coke and nickel has been reduced to 5 percent and on coking coal to zero To bring down the prices of steel, the excise duty on steel products was reduced from 16percent to 8 percent with effect from February 28, 2004 with a caveat that the duty regime will be reviewed. Budget 2004-05 revised this partially by increasing the duty from 8 percent to12percent as the intended impact of duty cut on moderating prices was not achieved.
STRUCTUE OF I NDIAN STEEL INDUSTRY: The Indian steel industry can be divided into two distinct producer groups: 1)Major producers: Integrated steel producers (ISPs) includes large steel producers with high level of backward integration and capacities of over 1 MT .steel authority of india limited (SAIL), Tata steel Rashtriya ISpat Nigam limited (RINL),JSW steel limited (JSWSL), Essar steel limited (Essar ) and Ispat industries limited (ISPat)from this group . SAIL, TISCO RINL produce Steel using the blast furnace/basic oxygen furnace(BF/BOF) route that uses iron ore , coal/coke has the basic input mix for producing finished steel ,Essar and Ispat employ Electric ARC Furnace (EAF) route that uses sponge iron , melting scrape or a mix of both as Input and
JSWSL uses COREX, a revolutionary technology for making Steel using basically iron ore and coal. 2) Other producers: This group consists of smaller stand alone steel plants that include Producers and processors of steel. Processors /enrollers: Units producing small quantities of steel (flat/long products)From materials procured from the market or through their own backward integration System. Stand alone units making pi iron and sponge iron.
Small producers using scrap sponge iron combination produce steel ingots (for long
products)
Using Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) or Induction Arc Furnace (IAF) route.
The Steel Industry, in general, is on the upswing, due to strong growth in demand propelled particularly by the demand for steel in china. The world scenario coupled with strong domestic has benefited the Indian Steel Industry.

McKinseys 7-S FRAME WORK: Introduction Japanese first introduced this model. The 7-S model is better known as McKinseys7-S. This is because the two persons who developed this model. Tom peters and Robert Waterman, have been consultants at Mc Kinsey and company at that time. They published their 7-s model in their article Structure is not organization (1982). The model starts on the precise that an organization is not first structure, but consists of seven elements:
Structure Skill Style Strategy System Staff Shared value.
They argued that when things went wrong, these Ss were manipulated to give a solution. Out of the 7, the three Ss across the top of the model are described as Hard Ss Strategy, structure and system. The 4Ss across the bottom of the model skills, staff, style, shard value are less tangible, more cultural in nature, and were termed soft Ss by McKinsey. These are difficult to describe since capabilities, values and elements of corporate culture are continuously developing and changing. They are highly determined by the people at work in organization. The McKinseys model is widely discussed framework for viewing the interrelationship of strategy formulation and implementation It helps to focus on attention on the importance of lining the chosen strategy to a verity of activates that can affect the implementation of that strategy. Originally developed as a way of thinking more broadly about the problems of organizing effectively the 7-S framework provides a tool for judging the strategies. It is much more difficult to plan or to influence the characteristics of the soft elements. Although the soft factors are below the surface, they can have a impact the hard structures, Strategies and systems of the organization.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE
My experience in Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Limited enriched my knowledge. To start with, KFIL is an industry where human resource and technology come together to manufacture products that gain worldwide recognition. Strategically situated at Bevinahalli, (Dist.Koppal). My overall experience in the company was very pleasant. The response & support got from the management & staff was appreciable. I would like to mention the name of Mr. Pavan maharishi who guided me in this project. The atmosphere & working conditions were encouraging in the company. During the first week, it was totally a new experience entering into the organization. On the first day of the training, factory manager detailed us very clearly about the company & guidelines to be followed with respect to maintaining the discipline of the organization and also informed the safety measures. Ten weeks of project training in the company helped me to know the practicalities. I learned about management and the supply chain management from the practical perspective & I learned about organization as to how it works in management aspects & the policies & procedures. Totally it was a highly useful training for me in the company. This has added value in my academic learning. There was a good relationship between the superiors and subordinates. I understood the practical aspects of supply chain management of KFIL.There is a accurate similarity between the theoretical supply chain management of KFIL. The success of organization is the result of Co-ordination between the management and workers. aspects of supply chain management with the practical aspects in KFIL.I understood the activities of all the departments which comes under
A.GENERAL INTRODUCTION: If a company makes a product from parts purchased from suppliers, and those products are sold to customers, then the company has a supply chain. Some supply chains are simple, while others are rather complicated. The complexity of the supply chain will vary with the size of the business and the intricacy and numbers of items that are manufactured. A simple supply chain is made up of several elements that are linked by the movement of products along it. The supply chain starts and ends with the customer. Elements of the Supply Chain are customer, planning, purchasing, inventory, production, logistics departments of an organization. Improving business performance is a journey not a destination. Supply chain management systems (SCM) are then combination of many of the receding applications and are used to span the stages in the supply chain. SCM systems allow for a more global scope because they can scan many supply chain stages with different modules. For instance, supply chain management would come with demand planning, transportation planning and inventory planning. supply chain is a network of facilities and distribution options that performs the functions of procurement of materials into intermediate and finished products and the distribution of finished products to the customers. Characteristics of supply chain: Supply chain having a national wide network of company depots to facilitate servicing its large network of dealers. A strong commitment to effective supply chain cost control without compromising the service level. Effective inventory control of credit outstanding. Total computerization of the supply chain management system.
Planning in SCM Objective of planning is to identify following operational parameters for a specific time frame.

Production Rate: The no:of units produced per plant in a given time period. Workforce: The no:of workers/capacity unit required for production. Machine Capacity: The no:of units of machine capacity needed for production.
Over Time: The hours of overtime. Subcontracting: The subcontract capacity required over the planning period. Blacklog: demand not satisfied in the period in which it arises but carried over to future time periods
Process of supply chain management This involves four processes Procurement Manufacturing Replenishment Customer order
propp Procurement
Manufacturing
Replenishment
Customer order
1. Procurement: It takes place by the interface of manufacturer and supplier. In this
manufacturer orders components from supplier that replenish the component inventories.
2. Manufacturing: This is triggered by customer orders replenishment orders from a retailer
or distributor or by the forecast of customer demand and current product availability in the manufacturers finished product warehouse.
3. Replenishment: It occurs directly from manufacturers production line. It is similar to
customer order except that the retailer is now the customer.

4. Customer order: It involves customer arrival, customer order entry, customer order
fulfillment, customer order receiving.

Supply chain management SCM is larger in scope than both physical distribution and marketing logistics. It encompasses materials management task as well. Supply chain actually refers to whole business chain, encompassing procurement of inputs, inbound logistics, conversion of inputs into products, physical distribution / market logistics and channel functions, which finally take the end product to the ultimate consumers essentially, SCM can be viewed as the combination of materials management and end product distribution, which constitute the two vital components of the business process and form the key tasks at the front and back ends process, respectively. It can be seen that the supply chain is in effect the firms value chain is actually spread through the firms supply chain. A firm can optimize its total customer value by managing activities in the supply in an integrated manner, treating them as one continuous chain. The supply chain constitutes a value delivery network. Thats why it is often said that firms compete in the market place using their supply chains as weapon, not their products and brands. Superiority in supply chain is thus a major competitive advantage. A firm with the better supply chain wins the market. We have discussed the value chain concept in detail in the two chapters on industry analysis, and competitive advantage. Taking note of the advantage in dealing together materials management and physical distribution of end products, which constitute the two major functions at either end or which form a virtual chain permeating the business from end to end, many experts have preferred to combine the two subjects and deal SCM.
The SCM approach, no doubt, has some merits, it facilitates the integrated handling of the functions of the business, especially the procurement function and the logistics functions at the front and the back ends of the business. As a result, it comes handy in value creation/value addition. The approach, however, has strong demerit as well. It gives prominence to materials management and treats the customer requirements of logistics as an appendix to the business cycle. The requirements from the side of the customer/market get diluted in such an approach. Moreover, in the nature of things, the focuses as well as requirements of materials management and physical distribution of end products are somewhat different from each other. Perhaps all things considered, the two subjects should be studied independently, rather than as one unified subject. Confers place and time utility of products: It is physical distribution that confers place- utility and time utility to a product by making it available to the user at the right place and at the right time. There by it maximizes the chance to sell the product and strengthen the companys competitive position.

METHODOLOGY
Information Sources The information has been compiled from various authentic and reliable sources like books, newspapers, trade journals, and white papers, industry portals, government agencies, trade associations, monitoring industry news and developments. There are two sources which data can be collected Internal Source or Primary Data External Source or Secondary Data
Primary Data A survey method consists of gathering data by interviewing number of people selected from a large group. A survey has advantage of getting to original source of information. In this method the researches obtains information from the Respondents by interviewing them. This is the most common method of getting primary data. A questionnaire is the medium of communication between the investigator and respondents. The success of an investigation depends on the forming of the question. In this method questionnaires consisting of a list of questions pertaining to the survey in prepared.
Secondary Data The secondary data are these which are already collected by someone for some purpose and are available for the present day for instant, the data to the department of the senses and the same data of used by a research worker for same study are secondary data. Secondary data was collected from the companies internal source like newspapers, magazines and external information from internet for the purpose of study.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY 1. The study is limited to supply chain management of KFIL. 2. Project period was 10 weeks so there was time limit to complete project before given span of time. 3. Due to the confidentiality few data could not be collected relevant to topic.
B.1.ANALYSIS OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (SCM) All activities that are connected with moving Goods from RAW MATERIAL stage through various operations to the ultimate CUSTOMERS & END USERS. ELEMENTS OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT A SCM is made up of several elements that are linked by the movement of products along it. The supply chain starts and ends with the customers.
CUSTOMERS
SUPPLIERS
PLANNING & PURCHASING
INVENTORY
PRODUCTION
LOGISTICS & DISTRIBUTION
CUSTOMERS
CUSTOMERS: The Customer starts the chain of events when they decide to purchase a product that has been offered for sale by a company. The customer contacts the sales department of the company, which enters the sales order for a specific quantity to be delivered on a specific date. If the product has to be manufactured, the sales order will include a requirement that needs to be fulfilled by the production facility. Customer is the starts and ends with the supply chain management in KFIL. Suppliers Global & domestic suppliers and negotiated contracts are decisions made at a company level to take advantage of the companys global buying power. This offers considerable cost savings, but local sites may have to make operational decisions with suppliers to ensure an efficient supply chain. In some instances local negotiations with global suppliers are required to ensure quality of the product. For example, in some countries the quality of the product produced by a supplier is not at the same level as other countries. The local management would have to make an operational decision to negotiate with the supplier for them to create a product with a higher quality to ensure the quality of the finished product MAJOR RAW MATERIALS OF KFIL

Planning The requirement triggered by the customers sales order will be combined with other orders. The planning department will create a production plan to produce the products to fulfill the customers orders. To manufacture the products the company will then have to purchase the raw materials needed In they have a good planning from the top management. The planning process starts from the CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT (CSD). The CSD will plan to take a Raw material from the suppliers to adequate requirement of the different manufacturing units. KFIL now have a plan to establish recent technology and advance machineries.
PURCHASING: Purchasing department is the one of the part of the supply chain management. Its inter connection between the Planning and Inventory Department. It purchase the Raw materials like, Iron ore lump, lime stone, dolomite, quartzite, manganese ore and coke. In KFIL, the RAW MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEM (RMHS) is the backbone of this industry. The purchasing department receives a list of raw materials and services required by the production department to complete the customers orders. The purchasing department sends purchase orders to selected suppliers to deliver the necessary raw materials to the manufacturing site on the required date. Steps of Purchasing Process
1. Indenting: Indenting are the starting point for purchase activity. This is the raising of
demand by concerned division or department, which can be production, maintenance, construct ion, design, or any user department
EVOLUTION OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT 2. Tender Inquiry: After receipt of approved indents in purchase, appropriate tender
inquiry is issued to suppliers, Inquiry mentions all technical details, quantity, delivery period required.
3. Receipts of offers: against inquiries, suppliers offers or quotations are received in tender
box. These offers are opened on the specified date & time.
4. Evaluation of offers: All the offers received are evaluated by user, offers are usually
invited in two bids i.e., technical bid & price bid. only after the acceptance of technical bid, the price bid envelope is opened.
5. Comparative statement preparation: after evaluation of all offers a comparative
statement is prepared by purchase of the offers which are found technically and commercially acceptable. After comparison, offers are ranked L-1,L-2..in order of lowest prices increasing upwards.
6. Negotiations: it is held by a tender committee or purchasing committee after negotiation,
detailed minutes are drawn between purchaser and supplier on agreed terms and conditions.
7. Release of purchase order: after finalization of all terms and conditions, a formal
purchase order is released on the supplier, whose offer is lowest are accepted.LOI (Letter of indent) is released through fax or letter till formal order is issued. 8.

indicating its total acceptance of purchase order/LOI terms.

10. Inspection of material: Necessary inspection is arranged by deputing quality control
representative to suppliers work, before the material is dispatched. After receipt of material at stores or purchasers works, goods are again inspected to know of any discrepancy in suppliers or any damages in transit.
11. Release of payment: its the responsibility of the buyer to ensure prompt release of
payment to the sellers, in order to maintain good buyer-seller relationship.
INVENTORY The inventory includes the raw materials, work in process and finished goods which should be maintained in an optimum level. The KFIL Company has a better management of inventory the company has provided sufficient place for storing the raw materials and finished goods within its premises.
In KFIL inventories are maintained at optimum level on the basis of their frequency of usage, requirement of the material, critically of the materials, and time required for purchasing the material etc. The company maintains better stock of raw materials as it is not a small achievement because raw materials are back bone of this industry. In case of issuing raw materials to the production department the KFIL follows traditional method i.e. FIFO method means First In First Out. PRODUCTION: Based on a production plan, the raw materials are moved inventory to the production area. The finished products ordered by the customer are manufactured using the raw materials purchased from suppliers. After the items have been completed and tested, they are stored back in the warehouse prior to delivery to the customer. PROCESS: The extraction of cast iron from haematite ( Fe203 ) involves following steps: 1. Concentration or dressing of Ore: The Ore is crushed to small pieces 3-3.5 cm size screened and shifted. This removes most of the gangue.
2. Roasting or calcinations: The concentration ore roasted with little of coke in shallow kitns in excess of air, where following reactions takes places. The Process of roasting involves: a) Removing of moisture and CO2 b) Oxidation of Sulphur, Phosphorus & arsenic to volatile oxide & are thus removed. c) Oxidation ferious oxide to ferric oxide which does not form slag of FeSiO3 with SiO2 during smelting while FeO forms Slag. This prevents the loss of iron during smelting. d) Makes the whole mass porous & thus reduction of Fe2 O3 to spongy iron is facilitated. 3. Smelting in blast furnace: The charge consisting of 8 parts of roasted ore, 4 parts of desulphurised coke and one part of lime stone is carried to the top of the furnace by a upper cone of feeder, it is lowered to admit the
charges into air lock. Subsequently the upper cone is raised there by closing the furnace top and the lower cone is lowered to admit the charge to run down the furnace. This arrangement prevents the escape of gases during the process of charging. As the mixed charge descends through the furnace, the furnace is lit and a hot blast of air is admitted through tuers. Heating of air is done in a series of copper stoves. The various reactions takes place in the blast furnace are as follows: a) zone of combustion: it is the lower part in the furnace. In this zone combustion of coke takes place forming CO2. A lot of heat is produced in the process. Here temperature is about 1773k. C+O2-CO2 JH =406 KJ b) zone of heat absorption: as co2 raises up, it reacts with more of carbon and reduced to co. this reaction is endothermic and the temperature lies between 1073-1273k co2 +c-2co H =153kj c) zone of heat absorption: It is the upper part of furnace where temperature lies between 679-973k here the charging moving down is reduced to spongy iron by the co gas rising up. Fe2o3+3co-2fe-3co2 This reaction proceeds in the following stages: Fe2o3-co-2f2o Feo+co-fe+co2 Both the reactions are exothermic in this zone small amounts of phosphates present in the ore are reduced to phosphorous. 4. Zone of absorption: When the sponge iron falls this zone limestone decomposes to co2 and cao limestone obtained acts as a flux and reacts with silica (sio2)present in the ore as impurity to form as slag if calcium Caco3-cao+co2 Cao+sio2-casio3 5. Zone of fusion:
When the sponge iron falls down gradually through hotter portion of the furnace, it undergoes fusion and dissolves some carbon, phosphorous, silica, manganese. The molten iron collects at the bottom of the furnace, while lighter slag floats on the surface of the molten iron and protects it from further oxidation. The molten iron and slag are separately and periodically drawn through separately tapping holes the iron which is tapped off from the furnace is an impure vanity of iron known as pig iron. It contains 2.4% - 4.3% carbon in addition to small amounts of Mn, Si, Sp. The waste gases leaving the furnace at the top contain about 9%co2, 25-35%co and about 5065% nitrogen and small amounts of hydrogen. BLAST FURNACE CONSISTS OF FOLLOWING SECTONS: 1. Stoves 2.
