2.12 Difference Between Training And Development
 Training is meant for non-managerial personnel . Development is meant for
managerial personnel or executives .
 The purpose of training is to develop specific and job related skills in an individual .
The aim of development is to develop the total personality of an individual .
 Training is a short – term affair . Development is long term educational process .
 Training involves technical and mechanical operation and it is designed for non
managerial personnel . Development involves philosophical and theoretical
educational concept and it is designed for managers .
 Training prepares employees for performing present jobs needs . Development is the
preparation of employees to meet future needs .

2.14 Components Of Training

Chart No:-1
The components of training are depicted below:-

Insight Motivation Opportunity to

Follow up Opportunity to practice in real world

Chart showing the components of training.

Required components of successful training programmes are :-

1.Insight
The success of training programme depends on the extent to which trainers and trainees
understand the goal of training and openly share feedback. Employees must know what
needs to be developed and hoe to acquire the knowledge and skills they need. This require
employees to understand and analyze their developmental needs and career vision.

2.Motivation
Employees must be willing to invest time and energy to develop themselves . Unless
employees are self motivated to make conscious effort to develop their skills and
competencies , training and development programmes will yield little result . Motivated
employees actively pursur learning to improve their skills and competencies for improving
overall performance . They will invest more time , energy and effort in training and
development programmes if they know that the competencies they will acquire and transfer
to workplace will be appropriately rewarded .

3.Opportunity to learn
The necessary conditions for systematic development of employees must be provided by the
organizations . Learning provides the much needed skills to improve job related
competencies and employees would acquire competencies for enhanced contribution to the
bottom line of the organization without opportunity for learning , employees skills and
competencies will become obsolete .

4.Opportunity to practices in real world

Employees must have opportunities for trying out their new skills at work . Often training
and development programmes are rendered ineffective due to lack of opportunity to
practice the new skills and competencies acquired by employees in the training and
development programmes . A conducive environment at workplace allows employees to
apply new knowledge and skills and further develop and refine them .

5.Follow up
Employees must internalize their new capabilities to actually improve performance and
results . Trainers must conduct follow up studies to examine the degree of transfer of
training skills to job . They should quide employee has difficulty in application of new
knowledge and skills being acquired through training and development programs . Also ,
employees needs to be given positive feedback on progress and improvement made in job
related skills and competencies periodically after training to reinforce continual application
of learning and motivating them to shaspen the skills further .
1.15 Aims Of Training
The main aim of training is to help the organization achieve its objectives by adding
values to its key assets the human resources. Training means investing in human
resources to enable them to perform better and to empower them to make the best use
of their natural abilities. Training and development can be initiated for a variety of resons
for an employee or group of employees. The main aim of training are:-

I. To improve performance on the job for enhanced contribution to organizational

goal and objectives.
II. To facilitate overall professional development of employees for increased job
satisfaction and productivity.
III. To assist organization is succession planning to help an employee be eligible for a
planned change in rules in the organization.
IV. To develop organization specific skills and competencies which is otherwise
scarcely or not at all available in human resource market.
V. To ‘benchmark’ the status of improvement with regard to a performances
improvement effort.
VI. To ‘pilot’ ,or test the operation of a new performance management system.

2.16 Function Of Training

The singular function of training is to produce change. It is the upgrading of persons

skill or the addition of new skills, which in turn can bring about desired change an
agency is seeking .It is important to understand that training is and of itself cannot
motivate a work force however it is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish
the long term goal of the agency.

1.17 Determining Training Need

There are a number of wage to determine the type of training an employee will
need.
 Request from employee-employee usually are the first to recognize the need for
additional training. This can result from the assignment of new task, technological
changes or just a realization that additional training would result in a efficient work
product.
 Change In agency vision or mission agency vision and mission can sometimes change
due to state of federal legislation. Thus employees may be assigned new duties or
position may be restructured.

1.18 Values Of Training

  To faster growth and development
 To aid employees in contributing to the achievement of department goals and agency
mission and vision.
 To provide opportunity for employees to accept greater challenges.
 To bring about the desired changes that can solve a variety of problems.
 To build employees self confidence and commitment.

INDUSTRY AND COMPANY
PROFILE
INDUSTRY PROFILE
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Steel is crucial to the development of any modern economy and is considered to be the
backbone of human civilization. The level of per capita consumption of steel is treated as an
important index of the level of socioeconomic development and living standards of the
people in any country. It is a product of a large and technologically complex industry having
strong forward and backward linkages in terms of material flows and income generation. All
major industrial economies are characterized by the existence of a strong steel industry and
the growth of many of these economies has been largely shaped by the strength of their
steel industries in their initial stages of development. Steel industry was in the vanguard in
the liberalization of the industrial Sector and has made rapid strides since then. The new
Greenfield plants represent the latest in technology. Output has increased, the industry has
moved up i n the value chain and exports have raised consequent to a greater integration
with the global economy. The new plants have also brought about a greater regional
dispersion easing the domestic supply position notably in the western region. At the same
time, the domestic steel industry faces new challenges. Some of these relate to the trade
barriers in developed markets and certain structural problems of the domestic industry
notably due to the high cost of commissioning of new projects. The domestic demand too
has not improved to significant levels. The litmus test of the steel industry will be to
surmount these difficulties and remain globally competitive.

3.2 HISTORY OF STEEL

The story of the State-owned Steel and Industrial Forgings Limited (SIFL) at Athani in Thrissur
district is one of a dramatic turnaround. The sick unit which was referred to the Board for
Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) in the mid-1990s is now a profit-making
manufacturer of high-end steel and industrial forgings. SIFL, a subsidiary of Steel Industries
Limited Kerala (SILK), which had an accumulated loss of about Rs.15 crores in 1993-94 has
been making profit almost consistently since 1995 (except in 2000-01). In 2004, the company
made a profit of Rs.1.3 crores. By then it had made an accumulated profit of Rs.25 lakhs
after making up for all the accumulated losses. According to the officials, SIFL had achieved
the turnaround without much additional investments or acquisition of machineries. The
Government made a contribution of Rs.6 crores to Rs.7 crores for arriving at a one-time
settlement with financial institutions under a BIFR revival package. The banks were advised
to reduce the interest rates on loans advanced to SIFL. Interestingly, some other public
sector companies in the forging sector were also accorded similarpackages around the same
time. But not many could make a similar comeback as SIFL did. Their main strength is their
innovative capacity and the dedication of workers. They could develop sophisticated and
high-quality products needed by sectors such as the aviation and the defence. Today SIFL
makes complex and high precision forgings for establishments such as the Indian Space
Research Organisation, Railways, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited and Bharat Earth Movers,
besides the defence and civil aviation units. Their decision to concentrate on high-value
forgings for the sophisticated industries helped them achieve the turnaround. An increase in
demand for forgings and a hike in their prices also contributed significantly. SIFL now exports
products directly to countries such as Indonesia and Qatar and indirectly to the U.S. and the
U.K. The company's turnover which stood at Rs.16 crores in 2001 doubled to Rs.32 crores in
2004-05. The plan was to enhance the turnover to Rs.100 crores by 2010. But even now the
capacity utilisation is only 50 per cent as against the industry average of 70 per cent.

3.3 STEEL INDUSTRY IN INDIA

Steel has been the key material with which the world has reached to a developed position.
All the engineering machines, mechanical tools and most importantly building and
construction structures like bars, rods, channels, wires, angles etc are made of steel for its
feature being hard and adaptable. Earlier when the alloy of steel was not discovered, iron
was used for the said purposes but iron is usually prone to rust and is not so strong. Steel is a
highly wanted alloy over the world. All the countries need steel for the infrastructural
development and overall growth. Steel has a variety of grades i.e. above 2000 but is mainly
categorized in divisions – steel flat and steel long, depending on the shape of steel
manufactured. Steel flat includes steel products in flat, plate, sheet or strip shapes. The plate
shaped steel products are usually 10 to 200 mm and thin rolled strip products are of 1 to 10
mm in dimension. Steel flat is mostly used in construction, shipbuilding, pipes and boiler
applications. Steel long Category includes steel products in long, bar or rod shape like
reinforced rods made of sponge iron. The steel long products are required to produce
concrete, blocks, bars, tools, gears and engineering products. After independence,
successive governments placed great emphasis on the development of an Indian steel
industry. In Financial Year 1991, the six major plants, of which five were in the public sector,
produced10 million tons. The rest of India steel production, 4.7 million tons, came from 180
small plants, almost all of which were in the private sector. India's Steel production more
than doubled during the 1980s but still did not meet the demand in the mid-1990s, the
government was seeking private-sector investment in new steel plants. Production was
projected to increase substantially as the result of plans to set up a 1 million ton steel plant
and three pigiron plants totaling 600,000 tons capacity in West Bengal, with Chinese
technical assistance and financial investment. The commissioning of Tata Iron & Steel
Company's production unit at Jamshedpur, Bihar in 1911-12 heralded the beginning of
modern steel industry in India. At the time of Independence in 1947 India's steel production
was only 1.25 Mt of crude steel. Following independence and the commencement of five
year plans, the Government of India decided to set up four integrated steel plants at
Rourkela, Durgapur, Bhilai and Bokaro The Bokaro plant was commissioned in 1972. The
most recent addition is a 3 Mt integrated steel plant with modern technology at
Visakhapatnam Steel Authority of India (SAIL) accounts for over 40% of India's crude steel
production. SAIL comprises of nine plants, including five integrated and four special steel
plants. Of these one was nationalized and two were acquired; several were set up in
collaboration with foreign companies. SAIL also owns mines and subsidiary companies.

3.5 DEMAND OF STEEL IN INDIA

Driven a booming economy and concomitant demand levels, consumption of steel has
grown by 12.5 per cent during the last three years, well above the 6.9 percent envisaged in
the National Steel Policy. Steel consumption amounted to 58.45 mt in 2006-07 compared to
50.27 mt in 2005-06, recording a growth rate of 16.3 per cent, which is higher than the
world average. During the first half of the current year, steel consumption has grown by 16
per cent. A study done by the Credit Suisse Group says that India's steel consumption will
continue to grow by 17 per cent annually till 2012, fuelled by demand for construction
projects worth US$ 1 trillion. The scope for raising the total consumption of steel in the
country is huge, as the per capita steel consumption is only 35 kgs compared to 150 kg in the
world and 250 kg in China. With this surge in demand level, steel producers have been
reporting encouraging results. For example, the top six companies, which account for 70
percent of the total production capacity, have recorded a year-on-year growth rate of 13.4
per cent, 15.7 per cent and 11.7 per cent in net sales, operating profit and net profit,
respectively, during the second quarter of 2007-08 We expect strong demand growth in
India over the next five years, driven by a boom in construction (43%-plus of steel demand in
India). Soaring demand by sectors like infrastructure, real estate and automobiles, at home
and abroad, has put India's steel industry on the world steel map.

3.7 SUPPLY OF STEEL IN INDIAN MARKET

Over the past ten years India‘s crude steel output rose nearly 7%per year to 55.3 million tons
, while global crude steel output increased by 4% (Germany managed an increase of just
under 1%p.a.) Although India is the world‘s eighth largest steel producer, its3%-plus share of
global steel output is still very low; it is roughly the same as Ukraine‘s share of world steel
production. China, the world‘s biggest steelmaker, produces nearly ten times as much as
India. In 2005 India‘s crude steel output of 46.5 million tons was 8%higher than in 2004; only
in China was the growth rate considerably higher at 15%. By contrast, production volumes
fell in the US and the EU-25 by nearly 5% and roughly 4% respectively. In the first five
months of 2006 Indian steel production continued to expand unabated, rising 10% yoy. We
forecast a significant increase in output by the Indian steel industry over the medium term.
The entire industry‘s contribution to gross domestic product should rise in the coming years
to more than 30% – compared to just fewer than 27% at present. The growth drivers are the
expanding client industries automotive engineering (production up 16% p.a. between2000
and 2005), mechanical engineering (up 10% p.a.) and construction (up 6% p.a.)

3.8 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

Executives : 63 numbers.

Workmen (permanent) : 252 numbers.

Temporary Employees : 185 numbers.

Total Employees : 500 numbers.

3.10 STEEL PRODUCTION IN INDIA

India is one of the few countries where the steel industry is poised for rapid growth. India‘s
share in world production of crude steel increased from 1.5% in 1981 to around 3.5 % in
2004. While plant closures and privatization are rare in India, the private sector is considered
to be the engine of growth in the steel industry and technological changes and
modernization are taking place in both the public and the private sector integrated steel
plants in India. Steel production of India accounted for 14.33 million tons in 1990-91, which
gradually increased to 36.12 million tones in 2003-04, as shown in Table III. The Indian steel
industry got a giant importance in the recent past when the Tata Steel purchased the Corus
steel. Today India plays a significant role in the production of steel in the world. The Indian
steel industry is growing at 8.74 % of CAGR. Steel demand continued to remain upbeat in
2008-2009 with consumption of finished steel growing by a decent 6.8% during April-may
2008. During a same period import surged by a healthy 10 % to 0.7 million tones. While
export reported a 33% decline to 0.6 million tones. While imports and consumption of
finished steel reported a healthy rise, production of the steel continued to rise at a tepid
pace. During April 2008 finished steel output rose by a modest 3.8 %. Further in may it
increased by 5.2%. Aggregate production growth during April-may stood at 5.1 % In view of
no major capacities coming on-stream we estimate finished steel production to touch 60
million tones in 2008-2009. On the basis for last year of 52.7 million tones, the steel
production growth for 2008-2009 comes to around 14 %. However the joint plant committee
has been revising its annual figures upwards for the last 2-3 years. In the event of an upward
revision in the figures of 2007-2008, the actual growth in steel production in 2008-2009
would turn out to be less as compared to our estimates.

3.11 EXPORT AND IMPORT OF STEEL FROM INDIA

The steel exports of India over the decade have the compounded annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 22.27% against CAGR of imports of steel, which accounted 14.20% in the
respective period. In 1991-92, very inception of the Liberalization, the steel exports
amounted to 368 thousand tons, which increased year-by-year and reached to 5221
thousand tonnes in 200304. It accounted for thirteen-fold increase over the period. The
Annual growth rates of exports of steel for the period showed the fluctuating trend, which
ranged between –14.41% in 1994-95 and 101.36 in 1992-93. In 2003-04, the growth rate
was 15.87 %.

3.12 EXPORTS OF IRON & STEEL :

Iron & Steel are freely exportable. Advance Licensing Scheme allows duty free import of
raw materials for exports. Duty Entitlement Pass Book Scheme (DEPB) introduced to
facilitate exports. Under this scheme exporters on the basis of notified entitlement rates,
are granted due credits which would entitle them to import duty free goods. The DEPB
benefit on export of various categories of steel items scheme has been temporarily
withdrawn from 27th March 2008, to increase availability in the domestic market. Exports
of finished carbon steel and pig iron during the last four years and the current year.
