INDIANOIL AVIATION SERVICE


IndianOil Aviation Service is a leading aviation fuel solution provider in India and
the most-preferred supplier of jet fuel to major international and domestic airlines.
Between one sunrise and the next, IndianOil Aviation Service refuels over 1500
flights – from the bustling metros to the remote airports linking the vast Indian
landscape, from the icy heights of Leh (the highest airport in the world at 10,682 ft) to
the distant islands of Andaman & Nicobar.

Jet fuel is a colorless, combustible, straight-run petroleum distillate liquid. Its


principal uses are as jet engine fuel. The most common jet fuel worldwide is a

MBA-MSRCASC Page 43
kerosene-based fuel classified as JET A-1.The governing specifications in India are IS
1571: 2001 (7th Rev).

IndianOil is India's first ISO-9002 certified oil company conforming to stringent


global quality requirements of aviation fuel storage & handling. IndianOil Aviation
also caters to the fuel requirements of the Indian Defence Services, besides refueling
VVIP flights at all the airports and remote heli-pads/heli-bases across the Indian
subcontinent.

IndianOil Aviation group regularly organises International Aviation conferences


that act as a vital information facilitator with participation from leading international
and all domestic airlines, allied industries, statutory aviation authorities and
government agencies from over 35 countries.

IndianOil is the only oil company in India to market the widest possible range of
fuels used by the aviation industry in India- JP-5, Avgas 100LL, Methanol Water
Mixture, Jet A-1 and aviation lubricants, etc.

Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) is dispensed from specially designed refuellers,


which are driven up to parked airplanes and helicopters. Major airports have hydrant
refuelling systems that pump the fuel right up to the filling outlets on the tarmac
through underground pipelines for faster refuelling. Essentially, ATF is pumped into
an aircraft by two methods: Overwing and Underwing. Overwing fuelling is used on
smaller planes, helicopters, and piston-engine aircraft and is similar to automobile
fuelling - one or more fuel ports are opened and fuel is pumped in with a conventional
pump. Underwing fuelling, also called single-point is used on larger aircraft.

TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE

TPM is a world class manufacturing strategy for optimizing the effectiveness of


manufacturing equipment.

The goal of the TPM program is to drastically increase production while, at the
same time, increasing employee morale and job satisfaction.

TPM was introduced to achieve the following objectives:

• Avoid waste in a quickly changing economic environment.


• Producing goods without reducing product quality.
• Reduce cost.

MBA-MSRCASC Page 49
• Produce a low batch quantity at the earliest possible time.
• Goods send to the customers must be non defective.

TPM HAS 8 PILLARS, EACH BEING SET TO ACHIEVE A “ZERO”


TARGET:

1. Focused improvement (kobetsu-kaizen): for eliminating waste.


2. Autonomous maintenance (jishu-hozen): the operator is the key player. It involves
daily maintenance activities carried out by the operators themselves that
prevent the deterioration of the equipment.
3. Planned maintenance (keikaku-hozen): for achieving zero breakdowns.
4. Quality maintenance (hinshitsu-hozen): This is actually “maintenance for quality”. It
includes the most effective quality tool of TPM: “poka-yoke”, which aims to achieve
zero loss by taking necessary measures to prevent loss.
5. Education and training: for increasing productivity
6. Early equipment/product management: to reduce waste occurring during the
implementation of a new machine or the production of a new product
7. Safety, hygiene, environment: for achieving zero work-related accidents and for
protecting the environment.
8. Office TPM: for involvement of all parties to TPM since office processes can be
improved in a similar manner as well.

MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT OF IOCL (DIGBOI)

INTRODUCTION
Maintenance and repair of equipment in a Hydrocarbon process plant is defined as
"preserving the machine to operate its design condition with maximum availability at
minimum maintenance cost ".
Maintenance function has become another Profit Centre of any organisation.
Maintenance has gone through a Metamorphosis from "RUN-FAIL-FIX-RUN"
syndrome to a dynamic function capable of Prediction & Prevention of equipment
failure trends and contribution to continuous enhancement of Organizational
Productivity. Maintenance no longer is deemed merely as a Spender Department in
view of its recent transformation into a powerful medium of overall effectiveness of
the organization.
Maintenance function improves organizational productivity by consideration
of:
• Relationship between Loss Structure & Overall Equipment Efficiency
• "Why-Why" Analysis of Equipment Failure
• Observance of development of failure before it turns up
• Failure Analysis
• Prevention of "Recurrence" of Failure
• Quality control as applicable to Maintenance
• Need for Training and Development of Personnel
Plant & Equipment maintenance can often be quite costly in a hydrocarbon
process plant operation. It is the awareness that true cost savings and profitability
can only be achieved by combining machinery reliability, safety, availability, and
maintainability into a cost-effective total.
MBA-MSRCASC Page 54
There are many approaches to perform maintenance and engineering activities at
an operating facility. The type of process, plant size, location, and business
conditions at a particular time are the variables that can affect this approach. The
system must fit the basic overall corporate goals. The final evaluation of success,
however, for whichever system selected, is achieving the lowest possible product
cost over extended periods of time at varying business conditions.
Total plant profitability is obviously affected both by on-stream factors and
maintenance costs. One cannot be separated from the other. Any system, therefore,
must account for how cheaply maintenance can be performed from an organizational
setup, and also what must be done and how often. The ability to update maintenance
requirements and improved planning based on experience at a group of plants has a
large bearing on overall maintenance costs.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION

“FINANCE” is the lifeblood and nerve system of any business organization.


Just as circulation of blood is necessary in human body to maintain life, finance is
very essential to the business organization for smooth running of the business.
Financial management involves managerial activities concerned with the
acquisition of fund for business purpose. The finance function does with procurement
of money taking into consideration today as well as future needs and finance is
required to purchase a machinery and raw material, to pay salaries and wages and also
for day-to-day expenses.

MBA-MSRCASC Page 59
METHODS USED IN FINANCING:

NET PRESENT VALUE :


It is the summation of the present value of cash proceeds in each year less the
summation of the present values of the net cash outflows in each year.

PROFITABILITY INDEX :
It is the present value of the return per rupee invested.

INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN :


It is the discount rates which equates the aggregate present value of the net cash
inflows with the present value of cash outflow of a project.

EQUIVALENT ANNUITY :
The equivalent annuity method expresses the NPV as an annualized cash flow by
dividing it by the present value of the annuity factor.

APPLICATION OF MANAGEMENT THEORY FOR DATA ANALYSIS


Capital projects in IOC are divided into :
1. Core – Sector projects eg. refining, marketing, pipelines and R&D.
2. Diversification projects eg. exploration and production(E&P), Liquified Natural
Gas(LNG),petrochemicals and power etc.
3. Globalization projects core/non core projects overseas.
4. Merger/Acquisitions

As per company policies all capital investment proposals above Rs. 100 crores require
board approval:
1. Above Rs. 100 crore : Board
2. Above Rs. 50 crore to 100 crore : Planning & Project

MBA-MSRCASC Page 60
3. Above Rs. 10 crore to 50 crore : Chairman
4. Above Rs. 10 crore : Fucntional Director
Project costing Rs. 250 crore and above also require approval of Project
Evaluation Committee. All proposals are to be prepared with the assistance of
professionals and experts.
Capital investment analysis involves estimating and comparing the benefits of
these schemes. Its is an exercise that helps Indian Oil to take a decision on he
investment proposal under review. The five basic steps in investment analysis in
Indian Oil are:

• NEED AND JUSTFICATION


• MARKET AND COMMERCIAL ASSESSMENT
• TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY STUDY
• FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
• SENSITIVITY AND RISK ANALYSIS

The final decision on a proposal is taken only after sensitivity and risk analysis. As
the name suggests sensitivity analysis test the proposal’s viability of profitability to
modifications in few variables. The sensitivity of the project to the critical variables is
thereby established. Risk analysis is a more comprehensive extension of sensitivity
analysis as it seeks to examine the profitability of the capital invested subject to
differing combinations of movements of the critical variables. Sensitivity analysis is
the first step towards risk analysis. Both sensitivity and risk analysis enables the
management to comprehend the sources of risk that a project is exposed to over its
projected life period. More important, it enables the corporation to undertake
measures that help to mitigate risk either through risk sharing procedures or through
hedging options. Subsequent chapters shall examine the above issues in detail.

MBA-MSRCASC Page 61
In case of R&D, any expenditure on development, testing and pre commercial
operation, such as demonstration, pilot and development of prototype will be treated
as R&D expenses. However, any commercial production will have to satisfy the
hurdle rate criteria.

THE NEED FOR A PROJECT MAY BE BROADLY ON ACCOUNT OF:


• Capacity enhancement due to demand and supply imbalance.
• Economic considerations.
• Technical/operational necessity.
• Marketing consideration.
• Improvement in existing operations through removal of constraints/ updation
of technology.
• Govt./strategic policy decisions.
• Safety/environmental and other statutory requirements.
• Expansion into new business – diversification/globalization.
• Research and development activities.

PROJECT COST
An accurate and realizable project cost estimate is vital for appraisal of the
project since it has a direct relation with the economic viability of the project. The
project cost estimates shall be prepared including the following components while
clearly indicating the break up of Rupee and foreign exchange components.

 PRIME COST
 PROVISION FOR DESIGN AND SCOPE CHANGES
 PROVISION FOR CONTINGENCIES
 CONSTUCTION PERIOD EXPENSES
 FINANCING COST DURING CONSTRUCTION PERIOD

MBA-MSRCASC Page 62
 PRIME COST:
Prime cost of the project includes total cost of the land, building, equipments,
materials, civil construction, other items namely mechanical, electrical,
instrumentation, and safety, fire fighting, pollution control etc. required to complete
the project.

 PROVISION FOR DESIGN AND SCOPE CHANGES:


The provision for design and scope change needs to be justified on case to case
basis. Normally no provision for scope and design change may be required in respect
of repetitive projects where scope is amply clear at the time of preparation a project
cost estimates. Similarly, for projects where quantum of jobs to be executed is
finalized and details of materials/specifications have been clearly determined, no
design change provision needs to be considered. However, in case of grass root
projects such provision not exceeding 10% of the total cost of the project may be
considered to take care of changes in the scope and design due to detailed
engineering.
 PROVISION FOR CONTINGENCIES:
The provision for contingencies not exceeding 3% to 5% of the total estimated
cost can normally be included while estimating the project cost. However, level of
contingency may vary from project to project depending upon the nature.

 CONSTRUCTION PERIOD EXPENSES:


As per statement of accounting policies, the construction period expenses are treated
as under:
Revenue expenses including expenses for crop compensation for acquiring Right-of-
way exclusively attributable to projects incurred during construction period are
capitalized. However, such expenses in respect of capital facilities being executed

MBA-MSRCASC Page 63
along with the production/operations simultaneously are charged to revenue.
Financing cost incurred during the construction period on loans specifically borrowed
for projects is capitalized at the actual borrowing rates.

 FINANCING COST:
In line of above policy, financing cost during construction period is reflected
separately, whenever applicable. Financing cost incurred on General Borrowings used
for projects is capitalized at the weighted average cost. The amount of such
borrowings is determined after setting off the amount of internal accruals.

FINANCING PROJECTS:
Projects taken up by the corporation are partly financed through internal resources
and partly through specific borrowings. Debt-equity ratio 1:1 is assumed where no
specific financing plans have been finalized. Where financing mode has been decided
then the same are indicated. However the ratio is reviewed on case to case basis. Non-
plan schemes are assumed to be financed from internal resources.
In respect of all those projects where the financing through borrowings has been
envisaged/ assumed, the following issues need to be dealt:
 Extent of the loan available and terms thereof (like rate of interest, repayment
schedule, moratorium, commitment charges etc.)

MBA-MSRCASC Page 64
 Break up of financing through borrowings into foreign exchange/Indian rupee
component.
 Deferred credit if available.
 For calculating financing cost, latest SBI Prime Lending Rate for long term loan.

DETERMINATION OF CASH FLOWS:


Determination of year wise cash flow cash flows is the most crucial step of the
financial analysis. The cash flow can be determined in 3 components namely:
A.INITIAL INVESTMENT
B.OPERATING CASH FLOWS
C.TERMINAL CASH FLOWS

A.INITIAL INVESTMENT:
This component of cash flows mainly represents net cash outlay in the period in
which the asset is purchased or constructed. In other words, initial investment shall
comprise of the total project cost as indicated in the capital investment proposal and
shall also include incremental value of working capital, wherever required. While
computing initial investment a care needs to be exercised in respect of following: in
respect of proposals where financing through borrowings is envisaged,
receipt/repayment of loans and payment of interest are not considered while
calculating ROI. However, these are to be considered while calculating ROE.

B.OPERATING CASH FLOWS:


The component of cash flow presents year-wise cash flow generated from
operations after the projects has been commissioned. The capacity utilization shall not
be more than 60% in the first year and at 90% from second year onwards till project
life cycle. The determination of operating cash flows shall, therefore, entail estimating
year-wise operating income, input/raw material cost and operating expenses during
the project life.

MBA-MSRCASC Page 65
C.TERMINAL CASH FLOW:
The cash flow in the terminal year of the project mainly represents the
salvage value of the project plus release of incremental working capital,
salvage value shall be considered as under:
 Land to be valued at original cost
 Other items to be valued at 30% of the original cost without financing cost
 Tax on capital gain should be considered. Capital gains are taken as terminal value
minus written down value as per income tax act.
 Terminal cash flow to be taken in 16th year.

PROJECT LIFE:
For cash flow determination and financial analysis, the life of project is taken as
15 years from the date of completion, unless the project life is shorter.
Issues requiring special-care cash flows:
While determining the cash flows for the projects special care is taken which need to
be exercised in respect of following:
 Cash flow can occur by increase in cash revenue and/or cash saving through reduction
in operating costs.
 Cash outflow can occur by increase in operating expenses and/or decrease in cash
revenue, apart from outgo for initial capital investment.

MBA-MSRCASC Page 66
 The net cash flow shall be estimated on ‘after tax basis’, as payment of taxes is an
outflow of cash.
 For calculation of IRR, all financial charges arising due to financial leverage like
interest payment/dividend payments are not to be considered as cash outflows.
Similarly, tax shield/benefit allowable due to such financial charges are not to be
considered as cash inflow/outflow.
 For calculation of ROE, interest outgo on project loans, tax shield available and
principle payments are considered. In this case, initial capital outgo shall be limited to
equity outgo.

CORPORATE TAX IS CONSIDERED AS UNDER:


1. Corporate tax to be considered on the project on standalone basis.
2. No tax shield for loss, if any.
3. Loss, if any, is carried forward for adjustment with future profit.
4. Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) to be considered, wherever regular tax liability
does not arise.
5. All deductions/rebates/benefits etc. wherever available under the income tax act to be
considered.
6. Cen vat credit is not considered.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:


For the purpose of financial analysis of capital investment proposals, cash flow
estimates are to be prepared for the full project life. These cash flow estimates along
with calculation of ROI/ROE, NPV, DSCR and Break Even Analysis are attached to
the proposal. While considering the base case, capacity utilization shall not be more
than 90% (from 2nd year onwards) throughout the project life cycle for all projects.

MBA-MSRCASC Page 67
ANALYSIS OF RISK AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS AT INDIAN OIL:
After presentation of financial analysis of the project, the capital investment
proposal shall indicate an analysis of risk and uncertainty involved in the proposal.
All capital investment proposals involve some risk or uncertainty with respect to their
completion. Capacity utilization, fulfillment of specified need, safety and profitability
etc. as the underlying assumptions made at the project formulation stage may not hold
well during the project life. Therefore, analysis of risk and uncertainty is an essential
part of sound proposals but also helps in systematic consideration of risk by the
approving authorities.

TYPES OF RISKS:
 FINANCING RISK:
Impact of various risks finally affects the profitability as a result of change in
cash flows from the values considered at proposal stage. Some qualification of
financial involved with a proposal is possible. This quantification helps in decision-
making. Many techniques are available for determining financial risk involved with
the Project like Risk Adjusted Rate, Certainty Equivalent, Sensitivity analysis, DCF,
Break Even Analysis, Probability Assignment, Co-efficient of variation, and Standard
Deviation etc. Most of above techniques rely heavily on the institution of Project
Planner, because he has to give factors for probability or for risk quantification.

MBA-MSRCASC Page 68
Hence, the results established through such techniques are subjective and therefore do
not provide a clear insight to risk/uncertainty involved. However, sensitivity analysis
is subjective only with respect to the selection of range of variable for determining the
sensitivity. Sensitivity analysis is an excellent tool to know the financial impact of a
variable on the proposal. Therefore, sensitivity analysis shall be used for determining
financial risk of project.

 OTHER RISKS:
Other risks constitute all those risks which may jeopardize
success/completion of the project. In case where need is other than profit, like
operational necessity, government policy, safety, environment etc. there is a risk to
the fulfillment of the same. Following shall come under any risks:
 Risk in getting input/linkage with input sources.
 Risk in disposing output/linkage with market, downstream plants etc.
 Risk in obtaining statutory clearances.
 Risk in capacity utilization due changing in demand/supply situation.
 Performance risk associated with a new technology.
 Risk of technology obsolescence.
 Risk worthiness of technical collaborator.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS:
Sensitivity analysis is a quantitative process of measuring change in value of a
dependant variable consequent to change in the value of one or more other variables.
A further aspect of such analysis is evaluation of its sensitivity to possible errors in
estimation of each or some of the critical variable. This information is very valuable
and shall be provided in the capital investment proposal so as to give an overview of
the impact of changes in the value of those variables, which form an essential part of
the analysis. For the purpose of carrying out the sensitivity analysis, it is utmost
necessary in the first place to identify the important variables of the projects. These
MBA-MSRCASC Page 69
may be assumptions regarding incremental throughout/sales, capital cost, cen vat
benefit etc. after identification of these important variables, sensitivity analysis are
carried out to assess the impact of marginal changes in these variables on final results
of the project i.e. IRR/NPV of the project is also being computed on completion
Project Cost Basis, taking into account average rate of inflation in the following
manner:
 Labour component of the project cost may be updated using the average (of 12
months) of Consumer Price Index (CPI) for industrial workers.
 For all other components of cost except labour the average (of 12 months) of
Whole sale Price Index (WPI) for all commodities may be used.

With the help of sensitivity analysis, it is possible to identify the variables with high
sensitivity and low sensitivity. The Capital Investment proposals gives the full details
of these variables and their degree of sensitivity.

APPLICATION OF RISK AND UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS:


Analysis of risk and uncertainty as enumerated above is applicable to all capital
investment proposals.

However, sensitivity analysis are normally provided for projects costing less than Rs.
50 crore, unless sensitivity of any variable is very high.
