HISTORY OF CEMENT INDUSTRY

The history of the cement industry is the story of civilization from primitive caves of prehistoric times to the skyscrapers of the modern age. It is said that the use of cement is from period use of fire Egyptians utilize gypsum plaster as cementing material as early as 3000 BC in building their monuments.

Material cement has existed the roman empire Joseph Arpdin invited Portland cement in 1824 after the discovery of hydraulic properties of time, patented his product which was call Portland cement. Portland stone which is lime stone quarried on Portland bill indorsed, England. Modern cement is outcome of effort of chemist’s technologist & architects.

Cement is binding agent having hydraulic properties, which after hydration gives the setting properties strengthening concrete. Intergrading, Clinker, Gypsum, & Pozzolanic material in a proper ratio to get Portland Pozzolane Cement manufacture cement.

Cement essentially made up of material containing calcium silicon, aluminum and iron. Limestone, marl and chalk are major source of clay shale, quartzite, bauxite iron ore provide silicon, aluminum & iron components.

CEMENT INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND OPPORTUNITIES:

India is the second largest producer of cement in the world. The cement industry witnessed the significant growth of 7.75 % in the calendar year 2008. During the year, most cement companies operated at high capacity utilization levels to meet increasing demand. While the pricing environment was favourable during the year, there were significant increasing cost particularly in energy, transportation and other inputs. The year was commendable one considering the massive increase in the production of blended cement, especially fly ash based. With rapidly growing of housing,

Infrastructure and real estate sectors and the ambitious plan for the developing Special Economic Zone (SEZ), the cement industry is expected to enjoy double digit growth.

Cement remains the highest taxed among all the essential infrastructure inputs in India. Various govt. taxes and duties put together constitute over 70 % of the extra-factory

price. Cement industries are a major contributed to the exchequer with excise duty alone working out to be over Rs. 5500 crores annually. Yet it is irony that cement is an essential commodity required by all sections of society including common man.

The cement industry receives coal through long term linkages. Ministry of coal is not sanctioning linkages to new capacity which is adversely affecting the cement industry. The situation becomes all difficult, as the ministry of coal is supplying 80 % of total requirement of the cement industry through Fuel Agreements (FSAs). While cement plants may have to procure through other channels.

Cements industry is largely dependent on captive power generation as the power availability situation is grim in the most producing steps, both in term of quality and quantity. Most cement plants have been compelled to make matters worse; some state governments are also imposing taxes and duties on these captive power plants.

Although expectations are the industry will perform well during 2007 with demand likely to grow about 9 to 10 %. The demand supply scenario will be balanced most regions, though some region may experience seasonal tightness. Industry should be appreciative of the govt. as a target of 8 to 9% growth has been aimed for in the XI Plan, and the cement industry is an integral part of the core sector of industries.

MAJOR COMPANIES IN THE CEMENT INDUSTRY ARE:-

The Associated Cement Companies Ltd.

was building a vision for the future. The man was F.E. Dinshaw –a man of tremendous foresight and outstanding initiative. The vision was to build a strong and unified cement industry that not would not only with stand all difficulties but also fulfil its responsibilities to the nation. The result was the amalgamation of ten of the existing cement companies – belonging to four large industrial houses of that time, viz, the house of Tata, Khatau, Dinshaw and kellick Nixon-to form the nucleus of what is today known as ACC LTD (formerly the associated cement companies)

Barely three years was later the fledging company catapulted into the fiery cauldron of World War II and resources were geared to meet that onslaught. ACC was there –more than that eyewitness to history

Over the year ACC realized that people are as different as they are similar .different needs different dreams. With its depth of knowledge and width of experience ACC today is period to fulfil the hopes and aspirations of the people across the length and breadth of the country.

For more than six decades now. ACC has has been forging a pioneering path making cement. Along the way it sharpened its expertise on the cutting edge of the latest processes/ technologies; learning /adapting- -no just transplanting –to meet the specifies of local operating parameters in the process- setting standards, innovating, non just meeting needs, but anticipating them.

ACC is a very fond acronym in India, often assuming synonimity with cement. With a annual cement capacity of over 12 million tones, the company’s operation are spread throughout the country with 12 cement plants, 3 refractories, 12 regional marketing offices, several area offices, and a dedicated band of people from all corners of India. Thus in industrial backdrop of India ACC stands for multi-product, multi-unit company.

The companies various businesses are supported by a powerful, in-house research and technology backup facility-the only one of its kind in the Indian Cement Industry.

ACC has also extended its services to overseas, to the Middle East, Africa and South America, where it has provided technical & management consultancy to a variety of consumers, and also helps in the operational maintenance of cement plants abroad.

RAW MILLActivity of Raw Mill starts from feeding Raw Material (limestone, Quartzite and Iron Ore) to the Mills and ends at filling the Raw Meal to Silos.

RAW MATERIAL FEEDINGLime stone feeding to Raw Mills/Roller Mills is through the sequence of belt conveyors to different Hoppers. Feed size of limestone is 90 mm and Mills Scale, Shale feeding is from the Gantry to the respective Hoppers through sequence of belt conveyors. Shale feeding is through Reclaimed or Pay Loader.

RAW MILLTwo close circuits two chamber Ball Mills are performing the grinding of limestone and Additive mix. Raw Mill is a tube construction of thick MS plate with steel lines and compartments are separated by diaphragm for improving the retention time and transfer of materials in second for further grinding. Mill is charged with hyper steel balls. Raw material is first fed to Tertiary Crusher (Single Rotor Reversible Impact Crusher) which reduces the size of Mix. After crushing the mix the material is fed to Ball Mill where fine grinding takes place. The finer product is separated by Air Separator and is fed to the blending silos and the coarse material is fed back to the Mill Inlet.

VERTICAL ROLLER MILL (VRM)

In VRM Section the material is directly fed into Mill through the feed belt for grinding. The ground material is stored in continuous flow silos from where it is fed to the Kiln. VRM utilizes hot air from the kiln exhaust for drying the Raw Mix

Deputy Manager – VRM, who reports to Manager (Maintenance) coordinates the departmental activities

KILN DEPARTMENT Kiln Department functions are categorized under two heads, Manager (Maintenance) is responsible for the maintenance of all equipment and Manager (Production) is responsible for the Clinker Production and its quality parameters.

PRE GRINDING UNITRoller Press is the pre-grinding unit for Cement Mills 1 & 2. In Roller Press two rollers are arranged in horizontal fashion. One is fixed and other has a hydraulic thrust arrangement for horizontal movement. The clinker is fed vertically down ward between the rollers and gets crushed by the hydraulic pressure arrangement The product, which is in flakes, is fed to the Ball Mill with other additives for finished grinding.

FINISHED GRINDINGFinished grinding is performed in Ball Mills. Ball Mill is a rotating shell divided into two chambers fitted with shell liners for shell protection and charged with grinding media to the required volume. The impact and friction between the grinding media and material perform grinding. Out put from the ball Mills is fed to the dynamic separator where the coarse and fines of specific sizes are separated. The coarse is again conveyed to the Ball Mill for further grinding. The fines are conveyed to cement silos through a series of elevators and air slides. In order to get the desired specific surface for cement the RPM of separator is varied accordingly?

COST SECTION:

The Cost Section is a branch of accounting and has been developed due to limitations of financial accounting. Financial accounting is primarily concerned with record keeping directed towards the preparation of profit and loss account and balance sheet. It provides information regarding the profit and loss that the business enterprise is making and also its financial position on a particular date. The information concerning the business enterprise is helpful to the management to control in a general way the major function of business viz., finance, administration, production and distribution but details regarding operating efficiency of these divisions are lacking. Infect, the development in the field of cost accounting is so quick and fields covered by it are expanding so much in magnitude that it becomes difficult for the management to lay down management policies, to guide the management decisions or evaluate operating management performance with the information provided by financial accounting.

OBJECTIVES OF COST ACCOUNTING.

The objective of cost accounting are ascertainment of cost, fixation of selling price, proper recording and representation of cost, data to the management for measuring efficiency and for cost control. The aim is to know the methods by which expenditure on materials, wages and overhead is recorded, classified and allocated so that the cost of products and services may be accurately ascertained, these cost may be related to sales and profitability may be determined. Yet with the development of business and industry. Its objectives are changing day by day.

The following are the main objectives of cost accounting.

a) To ascertain the cost per unit of the different products manufactured by a

Business concern.

43

Page 44: Financial Statements and Financial Analysis of ACC Cemet

b) To provides a correct analysis of cost both by processors or operations and the different elements of cost.

C) To provides requisite data and serve as a guide to price fixing of products manufactured or served rendered.

d) To ascertain the profitability of each of the products and advise the management as to how these profits can be maximizes.

e) To reveal sources of economy by installing and implementing a system of cost control for materials, labor and overheads.

f) To advise management on future expansion policies and proposed capital projects.

g) To help in the preparation of budgets and implementation of budgetary control.

h) To guide management in the formulation and implementation of incentive bonus plans based on productivity and cost savings.

i) To supply useful data to the management to take various financial decisions such as introduction of new products replacement of labor by machine etc.

j) To help in supervising the working of punched card accounting or data processing through computers.

k) To organize the internal audit systems to ensure effective working of different department.

l) To organize cost reduction program with the help of different department Managers.

COST SHEET OR STATEMENT OF COSTCost sheet is a statement designed to show output of a particular accounting period along with break- up of costs. The data incorporated in cost sheet are collected from various statement of accounts which have been written in cost accounts, either day – by –day or regular records. There is no fixed form for preparation of cost sheet but in order to make the cost sheet useful it is generally presented in columnar form. The columns are for the total cost of current period, per unit for the current period, total cost and per unit cost for a period and so on. Cost sheet is a memorandum statement. Therefore, it does not from part of double entry cost accounting records. Inspite of this, the relationship between cost sheet and financial accounts, which are maintained on double entry system, is very important as cost sheet derives its data from financial accounting.

ANALYSIS OF SHORT TERM FINANCIAL POSITION OR TEST OF LIQUIDITY:

The short term creditors of the company like suppliers of goods of credit and commercial banks providing short term loans are primarily interested to knowing the company`s ability to meets its current or short term obligations as and when those become due. The short term obligation of a firm can be met only when there are sufficient liquid assets. Therefore a firm must ensure that it does not suffer from lack of liquidity or there capacity to pay its current obligations. If a firm fails to meet such current obligations due to lack of good liquidity position, its goodwill in the market is likely to be affected beyond repair. It will result in a loss of creditor`s confidence in a firm may causes even closure of the firm. Even a very high degree of liquidity is not is not good for a firm because such a situation represents unnecessarily excessive funds of the firm being tied-up in current assets.

FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE COMPANY:

SHORT TERM FINANCIAL POSITION:

The short term financial position of the company is good enough. Current Assets of the company in the year 2008 is Rs.2735.20Cr.where as the Current Liabilities is Rs.2741.29Cr.

Current Ratio is 1:1. Company needs bit improvement in it so that to make it 2:1.

Short term liquidity position is also good as the acid test ratio is 0.50:1. Company needs bit improvement to make it 1:1.

Turnover Ratio of the company reflects their good and sound position. Stock turnover over ratio is 9.6 times. It is good that they clear their stock more than 5 times in the year. Debtors and creditors turnover ratio also show positive results in their efficiency.

LONG TERM FINANCIAL POSTION:

Long term financial policy is not as better as it should be. No doubt company adopted very nice policy of financing fixed assets from the long term fixed assets and the long term liabilities. Rest payment is made in cash, thereby leading to reduction of the amount of cash.

Debt – equity ratio also gives the same picture. It should be near to one as possible. But it is not than one in every year. Not only but also showing the increasing trends. This is not a good sign.

Proprietary ratio is 85.7%, it is good, and it is 50% or more than it.

Earning per share is the one of most important factor.

Shareholders are the main stakeholders of the company they judge the companies performance on the basis of earning per share & dividend declared by the company. In the accounting year 2007 companies earning per share is Rs.76.75. Dividend paid for the current year is Rs.20 per share.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Except the supreme power, the Almighty, no one is impeccable and prowess enough to accomplish anything without any faults and limitations. A research is no exception. No study is devoid of certain shortcomings. Some problems encountered in this study are under mentioned:

Some officers were too busy to give a sincere response to investigators & hence their response may not relate to real picture.

Manager some time denied disclosing some important financial matters, which can be helpful in this study.

The time period given to me for the completion of the project was short in such a short span of time it is difficult to complete any project in detail.

Some information related to the study, which had been collected from the company was rounded off because of some influence.

Some suggestions that I have given to the company and following are the result of those suggestions are as follows;

I suggest them to increase the promotion of Health and Safety at Work, including the prevention of occupational risks and it is in the process.

I suggest them to increase the capacity of plant as it a long term process so company officials said they put that point in the annual board meeting so it is in the process.

Current Ratio of the company is 1:1.so I suggest them to increase that to 2:1 and they are working upon it.

Company is not spending so much on the R& D so I suggest them to increase the same and the company said that they will think to allocate more finance in the budget of the company.
