Cement is a key infrastructure industry. India is one of the top 11
producers of cement in the world. The first cement company was
established in Madras in1904. However, in 1912 13 three unit of ACC
were established at Porbandar in Gujarat and other two at Kavti Madhya
Pradesh and Lakheri in Rajasthan with total installed capacity of 14000
tones per annum.. Currently India is ranked second in the world with an
installed capacity of 114.2 million tones.
At present cement industry is more than 94 year old. During the
first half of the century India was plagued by in the year 1961 on 24th
May, cement manufacturing Association (CMA) was formed in India.
The period during 1982-1985 was boom period for industry. By 1992 it
has attained fourth position among the cement producing countries,
behind the USA, China and Japan the year 1990-1992 was best for the
cement producers. But in 1992-1993, it has bad fortunes the demand for
cement was 8% in1991 declaimed to zero in 1992-1993.

The cement has been decontrolled from price and distribution on
1st March, 1989 and delicensed on 25th July, 1991. However, the
performance of the industry and prices of cement are monitor regularly.
The constraints faced by the industry are reviewed in the Infrastructure
Coordination Committee meetings held in the Cabinet Secretariat under
the Chairmanship of Secretary. The Cabinet Committee on
Infrastructure also reviews its performance.

ORIGIN OF THE CEMENT INDUSTRY
Cement and concrete might be synonymous as household terms,
but are by nature different: cement, an ultra-fine gray powder, binds sand
and rocks into a mass or matrix of concrete. Indeed, cement is the key
ingredient of concrete.
Semantics aside, concrete is the signature material in driveways,
patios, basements, and a host of other American household items. It is
also the world's most widely used building material.
Concrete's global appeal is not accidental - the ubiquitous, stone-
like material is produced from some of the world's most abundant
resources, as is cement.

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CEMENT
INDUSTRY IN INDIA
Cement industries constitutes an important segment of the modern
industrial economy of India. Cement is one of the highly capital
intensive industries unlike most other mineral based industries. Location
of cement plants is widely spread throughout the country where the
availability of the basic raw materials like limestone. Limestone
concentration is more in the southern region. One of the most important
developments immediately after the independence was Indian standard
specification for Portland cement by the Indian Standard Institute in
1947. The installed capacity of the industry rose to 2.2 million tons per
annum. On partition 5 of the cement producing units went to Pakistan
and the total installed capacity of 18 units that remained in India was 1.5
million tons per annum. In 1951 for the first time target of the cement
production were planned as a part of the first Five year plans. As a result
the production of cement increased from 2.69 million to 4 million tones.
By the end of the first Five year plan were about 27 units with a capacity
about 5 million tones. Presently in India there are 57 cement companies
with total of 120 plants. The total manpower employed is 135000.

However, cement consumption per capita in our country at about
99-kg/ capita is one of the lowest. The world average is about 267
kg/capita. While that of China is 450 kg/capita. Similarly in Japan it is
631 kg/capita while in France it is 447 kg/capita.
Excess capacity and slower-than-expected demand growth have
dimmed prospects for a second hike in Indian cement prices this month,
analysts said, dampening hopes that had driven producers' shares higher.
Prices in India's western region, which accounts for the biggest market,
have risen by a modest Rs 4 to Rs 158 per 50 kg bag in the past two
weeks.
"The rise has not been as much as expected because of oversupply
and The big four are Larsen & Toubro Ltd, Associated Cement Cos,
Grasim Industries Ltd and Gujarat Ambuja Cements Ltd.
Earlier this month, Merrill Lynch forecast a hike of seven
rupees per bag by December 12, followed by another increase 10 days
later. Adequate pick-up in demand," said Sanjay Ladiwala, president
of Cement Stockists and Dealers Association of Bombay.

Shares in India's four biggest cement companies rose between 10
and 33 per cent between mid-November and their peaks in December in
anticipation of a sharp price hike, but have since fallen.
Export
Apart from meeting the entire domestic demand, the industry is
also exporting cement and clinker. The export of cement during 2001-02
and 2003-04 was 5.14 million tonnes and 6.92 million tonnes
respectively. Export during April-May, 2003 was 1.35 million tonnes.
Major exporters were Gujarat Ambuja Cements Ltd. and L&T Ltd.
India exported about 8.13 million tonnes of cement and clinker
between April-January 2006-07.The export figures for cement were 3.31
million tonnes and 4.82 million tonnes for clinker in the same period.
The cement industry has also been witnessing a spurt in exports. India
exported about 8.13 million tonnes of cement and clinker between April-
January 2006-07.The export figures for cement were 3.31 million tonnes
and 4.82 million tonnes for clinker in the same period.
TECHNOLOGY LEVEL
12
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
13/125
The output of cement various type may reach the 200 million
tones mark by the year 2010 and the growth may be at a faster rate even
with a doubling of per capital consumption. It is therefore necessary that
greater attention is paid to the up gradation of technology for
manufacturing different type of cement. . In cement manufacturing is one
of the fastest, probably next to the electronics industry. Unless the
industry keeps pace with changing technology, it is very difficult to stay
ahead in the present day. Competitive environment in terms of quality,
commercial viability and demanding ecological factors.
At present ninety three percent of the total capacity in the industry
is based on modern and environment-friendly dry process technology
and only seven percent of the capacity is based on old wet and semi-dry
process technology. One project for co-generation of power utilizing
waste heat in an Indian cement plant is being implemented with Japanese
assistance under Green Aid Plan. The induction of advanced technology
has helped the industry immensely to conserve energy and fuel and to
save materials substantially. India is also producing different varieties
of cement like Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Pozzlona
Cement (PPC), Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement (PBFS), Oil Well
Cement, Rapid Hardening Portland Cement, Sulphate Resisting Portland

ACC BUILDING THE NATION
ACC has been an interesting story one that inspired a book.
ACC was formed in 1936 when ten existing cement companies came
together under one umbrella in a historic merger the countrys first
notable merger at a time when the term mergers and acquisitions was not
even coined. The history of ACC spans a wide canvas beginning with the
lonely struggle of its pioneer F E Dinshaw and other Indian
entrepreneurs like him who founded the Indian cement industry. Their
efforts to face competition for survival in a small but aggressive market
mingled with the stirring of a countrys nationalist pride that touched all
walks of life including trade, commerce and business.
The Associated Cement Companies Limited, (ACC) as it .is
popularly known is Indias largest cement manufacture, with an installed
capacity of 18.8million tones per annum, and sales turnover of over Rs
4000 cores. ACCs operations are spread throughout the country with 15
modern factories, 11 regional marketing offices, and several zonal
offices.
17

ACCs full name The Associated Cement Companies Limited,
the name itself indicates the companys origins from this unique merger.
d on among Acknowledge the most trusted names un corporate India,
ACC is listed one the super Brands of India.
Over the years, ACC realized that people are as different as they
are similar. Different needs, different lives, different dreams. With its
depth of knowledge and width of experience ACC, today, is poised to
fulfill the hopes and aspirations of people across the length and
breadth of the country.
LOCATION
The Wadi cement works of ACC was setup in the year 1968
with an installed capacity of 4.0 lakhs tones per annum of ordinary
Portland cement clinker, subsequently the capacity was enhanced in
two phases to 27.0 Lakhs tones per annum. The current capacity of the
commencing of new plants is 54 Lakh tones per annum.
The factory is situated at the south mental part of the country in
the state of Karnataka. It is well connected by rail and road. The
nearest important railway junction, Wadi,

Wadi Cement Works manufactures Ordinary Portland Cement
Type 43, 53 grade
In this plant, manufacturing of cement is based on dry
process. The first step is to form clinker from a fine ground mixture
of calcareous and siliceous material with a small amount of fluxing
material, which is heated at high temperature. In the second step, the
formed clinker is ground with gypsum to form ordinary Portland
cement. Various additives like Pozzolona; fly ash etc. may be added at
this stage to produce Portland Pozzolona Cement.
WADI: THE PLACE
Wadi is a small town in the Gulbarga district of Karnataka state
and has only recently become a municipal area. It is suitably situated
at a distance of about 40 km from the district headquarters Gulbarga
and at a distance of about 200 km from Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh.
Mumbai Chennai and Bangalore also are only a night journey away.
The only major centers, which are relatively inaccessible from Wadi,
are New Delhi and Kolkatta with journey times in excess of 30 hrs.
The region is a Limestone rich belt leading to the establishment
of other cement units and ancillary industries. There are Rajashree and

mingled with the stirring of a countrys nationalist pride that touched all
walks of life including trade, commerce and business.
The first success came in a move towards cooperation in the
countrys young cement industry and culminated in the historic merger
of ten companies to form a cement giant. These companies belonged to
four prominent business groups Tatas, Khataus, Killick Nixon and F E
Dinshaw groups. ACC was formally established on August 1, 1936.
Sadly, F E Dinshaw, the man recognized as the founder of ACC, died in
January 1936. Just months before his dream could be realized.

ACC stands out as the most unique and successful merger in
Indian business history, in which the distinct identities of the constituent
companies were melded into a new cohesive organization one that has
survived and retained its position of leadership in industry. In a sense, the
formation of ACC represents a quest for the synergy of good business
practices, values and shared objectives. The use of the plural in ACCs
full name, The Associated Cement Companies Limited, itself indicates
the companys origins from a merger. Many years later, some
stockbrokers in the countrys leading stock exchanges still refer to this
company simply as The Merger
22

Over the years, ACC realized that people are as different as they
are similar. Different needs, different lives, different dreams. With its
depth of knowledge and width of experience ACC, today, is poised to
fulfill the hopes and aspirations of people across the length and breadth
of the country.
Heritage
The house of Tata was intimately associated with the heritage and
history of ACC, right from its formation in 1936 upto 2000. Between the
years 1999 and 2000, the Tata group sold all 14.45 per cent of its
shareholding in ACC in three stages to subsidiary companies of Gujarat
Ambuja Cements Ltd (GACL), who are now the largest single
shareholder in ACC.
This hasenabled ACC to enter into a strategic alliance with
GACL, a company reputed for its brand image and cost leadership in the
cement industry.

in community welfare programmes have won it acclaim as a
responsible corporate citizen. ACC has made significant contributions
to the nation building process by way of quality products, services and
sharing its expertise.
In the short span of the last six years ACC has modernized to
world standards approximately 50 percent of its manufacturing
capacity, retired about two million tons per year cement capacity
consisting of obsolete assets, increased cement capacity from seven to
16 million tons per year, secured insurance from unreliable power
supplies up to 80 percent of its requirements, and introduced new
value-added products like ready mixed concrete (RMC), bulk cement,
and tunnel form technology.Apart from considerably strengthening its
core business of cement, ACC is, today, India's largest refractory
manufacturer and supplier, the largest research and consultancy
organization in the Indian cement sector, and one of the pioneers in
the area of advanced materials.
Commitment to Environment protection
ACC is among the first Indian companies to include
commitment to environmental protection as one of its corporate
objectives. Long before pollution control norms and regulatory laws
32
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
33/125
came into existence, ACC installed sophisticated high efficiency
pollution control equipment for cement kilns, raw mills, coal mills,
power plants and coolers.
ACC has achieved spectacular results in the utilization of two
hazardous and pollutant industrial wastes - namely slag from steel
plants and fly-ash from thermal power stations - to make blended
cements that help conserve limestone resources. Over the years, ACC
has won several prizes and certificates of merit for environmental
measures undertaken at its various plants and mines.
Water Conservation
Water conservation is a noteworthy contribution in a water
scarce country like ours. ACC cement units maintain a norm of Zero
Water Discharge. All the water used in plants for industrial cooling is
recycled through cooling towers, water ponds and tanks. ACC cement
plants have converted old abandoned mines into huge reservoirs by
collecting rainwater from catchments around mines.
Water from these reservoirs is treated to make it potable. As a result of
these initiatives, we have several examples of outstanding
33
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
34/125
achievements in water harvesting and in the creation of reservoirs in
abandoned mines and quarries. Some of our Works have become near
self-reliant in respect of their water requirements for industrial and
domestic consumption.

2.1 PRODUCT PROFILE
The product profile of ACC is studies in detail by taking into
consideration the value chain analysis.
VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS
In the modern world a company can maintain its superiority
only by using the concept of value chain. Value chain analysis helps a
company to identify ways to create & also to increase customer value.
The primary activities of the value chain are inbound logistics,
operations, outbound logistics, marketing & sales & service. The
supporting activities of value chain are procurement, technology
development, human resource management & firm infrastructure.
PRIMARY ACTIVITIES
The primary activities consist of inbound logistics, operations,
outbound logistics, marketing & sales & service.
In Bound logistics
In bound logistics, represent the sequence of bringing materials
into the business. In ACC at Wadi Cement Works, Wadi the Company
purchases raw material i.e. Coal, gypsum, Iron ore, fly ash, gunny
37
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
38/125
bags, spare parts etc. from vendors all over India. These goods are
usually transported to factory by parcel services i.e. by Railway &
Road.
By Railway
Coal, Gypsum, Iron ore are usually transported by Indian
railways to factory yards which is nearer to plant. The rate is fixed
according to the Railway Freight Rate Table.
By Road
Fly ash is transported in closed tankers which are directly put in
process. Gunny bags and are transported to general stores. The
Company doesnt have permanent parcel services providers, the
Company usually made a rate contract for appointing a road
transporter. Spare parts the Company is appointed authorizes
transporter i.e. Associated Road Carriers (ARC) on the bases of rate
contract. The relative waybill is sent to store department of ACC by
vendors. The store department collects the goods from the parcel
services and transports to stores.
Operations
38
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
39/125
The second primary activity of the value chain is operations,
which means converting the raw materials into final product.
Wadi Cement Works manufactures Ordinary Portland Cement
Type 43, 53 grade (latest version of IS: 269, IS: 8112 & IS: 12269
respectively) and Portland Pozzolona Cement (latest version of IS:
1489 Part- I) under the brand name ACC SURAKSHA which makes
utilisation of fly ash up to 25% thereby helping in maintaining
pollution free environment.
In this plant, manufacturing of cement is based on dry
process. The first step is to form clinker from a fine ground mixture
of calcareous and siliceous material with a small amount of fluxing
material, which is heated at high temperature. In the second step, the
formed clinker is ground with gypsum to form ordinary Portland
cement. Various additives like Pozzolona; fly ash etc. may be added at
this stage to produce Portland Pozzolona Cement.
Various raw materials like limestone, shale, iron ore, gypsum,
calcined clay, and fly ash are being used in this plant. Limestone is
received from captive mines, located at Wadi. Blasting with explosive
fragments the limestone. It is then loaded in to 35/50 tons dumpers
39
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
40/125
with the help of shovels. The dumpers transport the limestone to the
crusher, which is located at about 1.5 km distance from the Quarry
face. In the crusher the limestone is crushed to 20 mm size. Then it is
transported to the factory through a series of conveyer belts. Shale,
iron and limestone are mixed in optimum required proportion and
thoroughly homogenized pneumatically in blending silos after
grinding the same in raw mills to the required fineness. This fine
powdered material called raw meal, is stored in storage silos from
where it is pumped to pre-heater system where it gets calcined and
then enters into the kiln. This material is burnt at 14500 C to produce
an intermediate product known as clinker, in which pulverized coal is
used as a fuel. Clinker is then cooled in cooler and sent to Clinker
Storage Gantry. From the gantry, it is sent to cement mills, where it is
mixed with optimum quantity of gypsum and ground to the specified
fineness to produce Ordinary Portland Cement. For manufacturing
Portland Pozzlona Cement (PPC), Clinker, Pozzolona (CCP & Fly
ash) and gypsum are ground to specified fineness in optimum
proportion to produce PPC. Produced cement is stored in silos, from
where it is packed in bags with the help of rotary packers. The plants
are fitted with Electrostatic Precipitators and Bag Filters to control
dust emission.

performance characteristics when compared to Ordinary Portland
Cement.
It is available in specially designed 50-kg bags with chrome-
orange bands along the sides
SPECIAL CEMENTS
Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement (SRPC)
The action of soluble sulphates on OPC results in softening,
enormous expansion, and finally, disintegration of the concrete
structure.
Sulphates attack the tricalcium aluminate (C3A) phase of
Portland cement. This reaction leads to cracking and disintegration of
concrete. Concrete can be protected by using ACC SRPC, which
conforms to IS: 12330-1988.
Oilwell Cement (OWC)
OWC is used for cementing gas and oil wells at high
temperatures and pressures. This cement has a class G recognition
from the American Petroleum Institute.
45
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
46/125
Oilwell cement, used in the petroleum industry for cementing
gas and oil wells, helps:
Support the axial load of the casing string and strings to be run later.
Seal intended production or injection intervals from overlying or
underlying permeable sections (zone isolation).
Protect the casing from damage or failure.
Support borehole through the production interval.
Low Alkali Cement
Low Alkali cement is used to prevent alkali-silica reaction and
consequent deterioration of concrete. This cement produces a safe
concrete when the aggregates contain reactive silica. The standards
prescribe a limit of 0.6 % of total alkalis for this purpose.
ACC produces low alkali cement with an alkali content that is
very much lower than 0.6 %. The cement conforms to BIS and ASTM
specifications. The compressive strength of this cement surpasses 43
grade levels.
46
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
47/125
ACC pioneered the distribution of cement in Bulk and Ready
Mixed concrete in India and is largest manufacturer of RMC in the
country.
ACC Bulk
India's leading cement company, ACC - in a joint venture with
the government of India - has set up the most sophisticated bulk
unloading terminal at Kalamboli, Navi Mumbai, to bring its cement
from the ACC plant at Wadi in Karnataka.
At the site, the cement is pumped into portable 15-ton steel
silos (supplied by ACC). Not only do these silos require less storage
space than conventional bag storage godowns, but also the silos are
designed to facilitate free-flow discharge of the cement. Which further
underscores another of ACC Bulk's characteristic - 'untouched by
hand'. And dust collecting silos safeguard against dust pollution.
The concept of bulk cement begins with the convenience of the
end-user in mind. The bulk tanker for bulk cement transport and the
silo at site to receive this cement are a welcome innovation from the
conventional and time-consuming bag distribution system. Inventory
in terms of locked-up capital is now the concern of the supplier.
47
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
48/125
The large and unwieldy godown construction and maintenance
that is required at construction sites is now avoided. The measured
quantity extracted by the discharge system ensures correct weight and
eliminates human error.

Advantages of using ACC Bulk
Assured Quality
No handling from the factory to your site, therefore exact
weight
Tamper proof delivery, therefore no adulteration possible
Immediate delivery, therefore no need to stock inventory
Order only when you are ready to use, so your money is not
locked up
Steady supply
International Comparison
Internationally, the trend is to move cement more and more in
loose form rather than bagged. In fact, over 90 percent cement in the
USA, and other European countries is transported and sold in bulk,
unlike in India, where only one percent is transported in bulk.

Customer Profile
The prospective customers for bulk cement are RMX
manufacturers, institutions, government agencies, contractors,
builders, manufacturers of pre-cast fabricated concrete blocks,
asbestos sheets and many more. Many of them have their own
batching plants and are using bulk cement.
Complementing all this is a dedicated team of service personnel
to ensure trouble-free operations of site silos and auxiliary equipment.
They are just a phonecall away - both the marketing office in Mumbai,
and also at the plant at Kalamboli. Which helps strengthen ACC Bulk
links with the customer at all times.
Taking this further, ACC Bulk also offers specially designed
mini batching plants, which are available at reasonable cost to the
consumer. This adds to the several advantages of bulk cement by
efficient and quality-conscious way of making the correct grade of
concrete with the right proportions of other inputs.

Future of ACC Company
The future of the industry is linked to the economy and the key
driver is governmental spending in infra structure projects like roads,
bridges, ports, and airports. Nabmir points out that concrete roads are
maintenance free, eco friendly and last for years. A case in point is the
marine drive flyover in Mumbai, constructed 60 years ago the industry
also pressing for rural roads to be concretized. If all this happens, it will
trigger demand for cement in the next 10 years and give a big boost to
the industry which was been reeling under the impact of excessive
supplies, and uneconomic realization. The silver lining is that money
collected by the way of cess on petrol/diesel has to be spent on road
development. Given this situation, ACC has a clear road ahead.

FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENTS
62
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
63/125
FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENTS
4.1 PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
Production is the functional area responsible for turning inputs
into finished outputs through a series of production processes. The
Production Manager is responsible for making sure that raw materials
are provided and made into finished goods effectively. He or she must
make sure that work is carried out smoothly, and must supervise
procedures for making work more efficient and more enjoyable.
Five production sub-fuctions
In a manufacturing company the production function may be split into
five sub-functions:
1. The production and planning department will set standards and
targets for each section of the production process. The quantity and
quality of products coming off a production line will be closely
monitored. In businesses focusing on lean production, quality will be
monitored by all employees at every stage of production, rather than at
the end as is the case for businesses using a quality control approach.
63
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
64/125
2. The purchasing department will be responsible for providing the
materials, components and equipment required to keep the production
process running smoothly. A vital aspect of this role is ensuring stocks
arrive on time and to the right quality.
3. The stores department will be responsible for stocking all the
necessary tools, spares, raw materials and equipment required to
service the manufacturing process. Where sourcing is unreliable,
buffer stocks will need to be kept and the use of computerised stock
control systems helps keep stcoks at a minimal but necessary level for
production to continue unhindered.
4. The design and technical support department will be responsible for
researching new products or modifications to existing ones, estimating
costs for producing in different quantities and by using different
methods. It will also be responsible for the design and testing of new
product processes and product types, together with the development of
prototypes through to the final product. The technical support
64
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
65/125
department may also be responsible for work study and suggestions as
to how working practices can be improved.
5. The works department will be concerned with the manufacture of
products. This will include the maintenance of the production line and
other necessary repairs. The works department may also have
responsibility for quality control and inspection.
TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Total quality management (TQM) is a management philosophy that
seeks to integrate all organizational functions (marketing, finance,
design, engineering, and production, customer service, etc.) to focus
on meeting customer needs and organizational objectives. TQM
empowers the total organization, from the employee to the CEO, with
the responsibility of ensuring quality in their respective products and
services, and Management of their processes through the appropriate
process improvement channels. All types of organizations have
deployed TQM, from small businesses to government agencies like
NASA,[2] from schools to construction firms, from manufacturing
centers to call centers to hospitals. TQM is not specific to one type of
enterprise; it is a philosophy applied anywhere quality is required.
65
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
66/125
TQM aims to go beyond "Meeting customer requirements" and their
usual understanding of "Fit for purpose" with respect to products,
processes or services that are embraced by the organization. TQM
should operate throughout an entire organization. Prior to TQM,
quality testing is usually a norm towards controlling quality during the
final phases of a product, process or service. If faults are found, then
the supplies are held back; reworked or rejected. Additional costs were
usually inevitable, to produce the needed quantity and quality. TQM's
aim is to "Get it right the first time every time" and in interim abate
majority of such avoidable costs.
TQM seeks to identify the source of each defect and to prevent it from
entering the final product. Using a simple iterative process TQM
reinforces quality assurance to meet changes in products and services
by way of improved effectiveness of their operational processes.The
modus operandi involves identifying the "root causes" for the most
prevalent/costly defects and then implementing solutions to abate,
avoid or remove them.
66
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
67/125
TQM essentially is a people-dependent process. To derive the full
benefit of TQM, people in any organization should be synergized.
Thus organizations are expected to maintain a company-wide strategy
that devolves responsibility to every employee for the quality of their
work and the work of their team. TQM calls for bringing the core
concept of quality to early transformatory processes, as proposed by
W. Edwards Deming. Deming's chain reaction advocates starting with
quality of initial design and further systemically operating on Total
Quality principles to achieve excellence. When each input from raw
materials through resources and design produces exceedingly and
continually improved finished goods, TQM is said to be operational.
The production department is concerned with the planning and
organization of the production system .It is responsible with the
overall situation of the plant and the machinery. Production planning
and organization as well as overall capacity utilization.
JOB DESIGN
In organizational development (OD), work design is the application of
Socio-Technical Systems principles and techniques to the
humanization of work.
67
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
68/125
The aims of work design to improved job satisfaction, to improved
through-put, to improved quality and to reduced employee problems,
e.g., grievances, absenteeism.
LOGISTICS
Logistics is the management of the flow of goods, information and
other resources, including energy and people, between the point of
origin and the point of consumption in order to meet the requirements
of consumers (frequently, and originally, military organizations).
Logistics involves the integration of information, transportation,
inventory, warehousing, material-handling, and packaging, and
occasionally security. Logistics is a channel of the supply chain which
adds the value of time and place utility. Today the complexity of
production logistics can be modeled, analyzed, visualized and
optimized by plant simulation software.
ACC has been in operation for over six decades, and each year has
enabled it to garner rich experience that has given it strength to
improve efficiency in operations and management.
In the short span of the last six years ACC has modernized to world
standards approximately 50 percent of its manufacturing capacity,
68
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
69/125
retired about two million tons per year cement capacity consisting of
obsolete assets, increased cement capacity from seven to 16 million
tons per year, secured insurance from unreliable power supplies up to
80 percent of its requirements, and introduced new value-added
products like ready mixed concrete (RMC), bulk cement, and tunnel
form technology. The new assets created compare with the best in
their class in India and the rest of the world. Selective investments
were also made in refractories, advanced materials, etc. These
measures entailed a massive capital expenditure of over Rs. 20000
Million since 1991.
Raw materials
Raw materials are the major input into an organization and from
the bulk ,which gets converted into output .As any break in the supply
of raw materials will keep the production lives idle, their importance
can be easily visualized .The importance of raw material inventory is
to act as buffer between procurement and manufacturing .there are two
important factors ,which determine the size of the raw material
inventory .those depend on the production technology .One is the

MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF ACC WADI PLANT
(I) QUARRY
The major raw material for cement production is limestone. The
limestone most suitable for cement production must have some
ingredients in specified quantities i.e., calcium carbonates, silica,
alumina, iron, etc.
Typically, cement plants locations are based upon the
availability of good quality limestone in the vicinity. The quarrying
operations are done by the cement producer using the open cast

mining process. Quarrying is done through drilling and subsequently,
using heavy earth moving equipment such as bulldozers, pay-loaders
and dumpers. The quarried raw material is then transported to the
cement plant, using mechanical conveying equipment such as
ropeways or belt conveyors, or by vehicles like wagons and trucks.
LIMESTONE MINING is the first phase of cement manufacturing
process. Ours is open cast, mechanized mining. After removing 2 to
3 Mtrs, of over burden clay, grades will be classified (I bench low
grade: 8 to 10 Mtrs, in depth. II and III bench high grade 10 to 12
Mtrs, in depth) then drilling and blasting will be done. The material
will be loaded by shovels and transported to Crusher by Dumpers.
This is the first Phase in the cement manufacturing process. In
this department there are around 112 employees are working these
includes 20 company grade officers and others are workers.
This department works 24 hrs of the day with the capacity of
20,000 tonnes per day. In this department there are two crushers are
installed one is for new plant and other one is for old plant with the
capacity of 1000 and 850 tonnes per hr respectively. The department
74
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
75/125
having the 7 dumpers almost all dumpers fitted with Air Conditioner.
It has capacity over 80 to 85 tonnes.
(II) LIMESTONE CRUSHING
The quarried limestone is normally in the form of big boulders,
ranging from a few inches to meters in size. These varying sizes of
limestone need to be crushed to a size of about 10 mm in order to be
prepared for finish-grinding.
There are mainly two types of crushers available for this
purpose- compression type or impact type crushers. There are many
types of compression type crushers such as jaw crusher, gyratory
crusher, cone crusher, roll crusher. The impact technology is used in
hammer crusher/impact crusher. Crushing is done either in two stages
or in a single stage. In the two stage crushing system, a compression
type crusher is used in the first stage for raw crushing, followed by
impact/hammer crusher in the second stage. In single stage crushing,
an impact type crusher is used. The selection of the crusher depends
mainly on the characteristics of the raw materials. This selection is
further guided by the particle-size distribution requirements of the
down-stream equipment such as raw mills and lastly by financial
considerations.
75
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
76/125
Limestone Stock Pile
The raw material is stored at either the quarry or at the plant.
Typically, circular or longitudinal stock piles are used to store the
material.
A number of layers are stacked in circular or longitudinal piles
and are reclaimed in transverse, cross-sectional slices.
The stock piles consist of separate layers/piles of different kinds
of raw material. This is used in segregating the raw material quality-
wise. The required quantity of the various raw materials is thus easily
extracted for use.
The extraction of different qualities of raw material is
monitored and controlled in order to maintain the desired composition
of raw meal, suitable for feeding into the kiln.
(III) RAW MILL
This is second and main department of the cement
manufacturing process. The department mixes the raw material such
as Hematite Bauxite specified by the laboratory and limestone will
mixes by the holder of the raw mill.
76
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
77/125
Additives Storage Hopper
In order to get the required composition of raw material, certain
additives such as iron ore, bauxite, laterite, quartzite and flourspar are
added in required quantities.
These additives are stored at the plant in separate hoppers and
are extracted using belt conveyors in conjunction with belt-weighing
equipment. This ensures that only the required quantities are extracted
and added to the raw material. There are 4 hoppers used in this
department;
I) One hopper is used for low grade lime stone
II) One hopper is used for high grade lime stone
III) One hopper is used for bauxite
IV) One hopper is used for hematite
There are total six raw mill is there in which five mills are
installed in old and other one is installed in new plant with the
capacity of 60, 70,70, 120 in old plant mill and new plant raw mill
capacity is more than 500.first, second and third raw mill controlled
by the in this department only and fourth and fifth are controlled by
kiln department.
77
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
78/125
The raw material is finish-ground before being fed into the kiln
for clinkering. This grinding is done using either ball mills or vertical
roller mills (VRM). The raw material is simultaneously dried. .
Blending and Storage Silo
Normally there are various sources of limestone, each with
different qualities, which are added with various additives to get the
required composition of raw mix. As there are various sources of raw
materials, it becomes necessary to blend and homogenize these
different materials efficiently to counteract fluctuation in the chemical
composition of the raw meal.
The variations in the composition of kiln feed have very adverse
impacts on the efficiency of the kiln. It results in undesired coating
and ring formation inside the kiln. In order to blend and homogenize
the raw materials properly, continuous blending silos are used.
78
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
79/125
(IV) PRE-HEATER
The most important activity in cement manufacturing is
clinkering (or burning) of raw material. Clinkering takes place in the
kiln and the preheater system. Preheater systems offer heat transfer
from the hot kiln gases.
Gas Conditioning Tower and ESP
The conditioning tower is used to reduce the temperature and to
increase the moisture level of the dusty exhaust gas from the kiln,
before it is passed through the bag house and ESPs. It is called a
conditioning tower because it conditions the hot gas, thus making it
more suitable for the ESP and bag house to extract dust from it.
The Electrostatic Precipitators are used in cement plants
particularly for removal of dust from the exit gases of cement kilns
and from the exhaust air discharged by dryers, combined grinding and
drying plants, finishing mills and raw mills through water injection.
Through ESPs, the dust-laden gas is made to flow through a
chamber usually horizontally, during which it passes through one or
more high voltage electric fields formed by alternate discharge
electrodes and plate type collecting electrodes.
79
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
80/125
By the action of electric field, the dust particles, which have
become electrically charged by negative gas ions which are formed at
the discharge electrodes and attach themselves to the particles, fly to
the collecting electrodes and are deposited there. The dust is dislodged
from these electrodes by rapping and thus falls into the receiving
hopper at the base of the precipitator casing.
(V) KILN
Kiln is the heart of any cement plant. It is basically a long
cylindrical-shaped pipe, and rotates in a horizontal position. Its
internal surface is lined by refractory bricks. Limestone and additives
are calcined in this. The output of the kiln is called clinker.
Kiln is department in which the raw material will burn. There
are total 4 kilns are installed the first kiln was installed in the year
1965 with the Capacity of 600 tonnes now its capacity is around 1250
tonnes per day, third Was established in the year 1983 with the
capacity of 3000 tonnes per day now its capacity is around 4800
tonnes per day.
The fourth kiln is installed in new plant in the year 2002 with
capacity of 7000 tonnes per day.
80
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
81/125
In the kiln the raw materials are burn in the temperature of 1500
degree Celsius and raw material will be converted into clinker and
send this clinker to the cooler and cooled clinker will be stored in the
clinker silo.
In the kiln department there are around 150 employees are
working including the officers.
(VI) COOLER
The clinker coming out of the kiln is hot. It is cooled in a set-up
called a cooler. In the cooler, cold air is blown to effect heat exchange
between hot clinker and cold air.
(VII) CLINKER SILO
The clinker silo is a silo where clinker will be stored .The output
of the kiln is stored before it is fed to the cement mill for conversion to
cement. This storage is called clinker storage, if it is used for clinker
storage purpose. The capacity of silo is over 10000 tonnes.
(VIII) CEMENT MILL
Clinker, along with additives, is ground in a cement mill. The
output of a cement mill is the final product viz. Cement. In a cement
81
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
82/125
mill, there is a cylindrical shell lying horizontal which contains
metallic balls and as it rotates, the crushing action of the balls helps in
grinding the clinker to fine powder.
The bag house is used to remove dusty particles from discharge
of different equipment such as cement mill, coal mill and kiln. In a
bag house system discharge gas containing dusty particles is passed
through a series of bags made of strong fabrics.
There are five cement mills are installed in wadi cement plant
The capacity of these cement mills is 40 tonnes per hour for first three
cement mills, 110 tonnes per hour for fourth and fifth cement mills.
The main function of the cement mills is converting the raw
material into cement and transfer cement to packinghouse silos.
(IX) PACKING
Cement is extracted from the silo and filed in Packer Hoppers,
from where the material will flow to the Packer Machine through
bucket elevator and air slides.The cement will be packed in the cement
bags as per the specification of the company and dispatch these
cement bags according to the order of the cement in the market with
six packers in each plant. The department works 24 hrs in day with
82

the total of 310 employees including officers. (Per shift around 100
employees)
There are total 12 cement silo in that ten cement silos are
installed in old plant and other two silos are installed in new plant,
with the capacity of 2000 tones for first six cement silos and around
4000 tonnes for next four cement silos in the old plant and in the new
plant 4000 tonnes for other two cement silos
(X) DISPATCH
This is last process of the cement-manufacturing department.

4.2 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
MEANING
Human resource management (HRM) is a management function
that helps manager recruit, select, train, and develop members for an
organization. Obviously, HRM is concerned with the people s
dimension in organizations.
Human resource management (HRM) is the strategic and coherent
approach to the management of an organization's most valued assets -
the people working there who individually and collectively contribute
to the achievement of the objectives of the business. The terms
"human resource management" and "human resources" (HR) have
largely replaced the term "personnel management" as a description of
the processes involved in managing people in organizations.[1] In
simple sense, HRM means employing people, developing their
resources, utilizing, maintaining and compensating their services in
tune with the job and organizational requirement.
RECRUITMENT
86
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
87/125
Recruitment refers to the process of attracting, screening, and selecting
qualified people for a job at an organization or firm. For some
components of the recruitment process, mid- and large-size organizations
often retain professional recruiters or outsource some of the process to
recruitment agencies.
The recruitment industry has five main types of agencies: employment
agencies, recruitment websites and job search engines, "headhunters"
for executive and professional recruitment, niche agencies which
specialize in a particular area of staffing and in-house recruitment. The
stages in recruitment include sourcing candidates by advertising or
other methods, and screening and selecting potential candidates using
tests or interviews.
SELECTION
In the context of evolution, certain traits or alleles of a species may be
subject to selection. Under selection, individuals with advantageous or
"adaptive" traits tend to be more successful than their peers
reproductivelymeaning they contribute more offspring to the
succeeding generation than others do. When these traits have a genetic
basis, selection can increase the prevalence of those traits, because
87
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
88/125
offspring will inherit those traits from their parents. When selection is
intense and persistent, adaptive traits become universal to the
population or species, which may then be said to have evolved.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
In the field of human resource management, training and development is
the field concerned with organizational activity aimed at bettering the
performance of individuals and groups in organizational settings. It has
been known by several names, including employee development, human
resource development, and learning and development.
Harrison observes that the name was endlessly debated by the Chartered
Institute of Personnel and Development during its review of professional
standards in 1999/2000. "Employee Development" was seen as too
evocative of the master-slave relationship between employer and
employee for those who refer to their employees as "partners" or
"associates" to be comfortable with. "Human Resource Development"
was rejected by academics, who objected to the idea that people were
"resources" an idea that they felt to be demeaning to the individual.
88
8/8/2019 Organizational Study by Swapnil
89/125
Eventually, the CIPD settled upon "Learning and Development",
although that was itself not free from problems, "learning" being an
overgeneral and ambiguous name. Moreover, the field is still widely
known by the other names.
Training and development encompasses three main activities: training,
education, and development. Garavan, Costine, and Heraty, of the Irish
Institute of Training and Development, note that these ideas are often
considered to be synonymous. However, to practitioners, they encompass
three separate, although interrelated, activities:
training
This activity is both focused upon, and evaluated against, the job that an
individual currently holds.
education
This activity focuses upon the jobs that an individual may potentially
hold in the future, and is evaluated against those jobs.

or her career by making the boss look stupid." Training an employee
to get along well with authority and with people who entertain diverse
points of view is one of the best guarantees of long-term success.
Talent, knowledge, and skill alone won't compensate for a sour
relationship with a superior, peer, or customer.
DEFINITION
Management is the planning, organising, directing, and
controlling of the procurement, development, compensation ,
integration ,maintenance and separation of human resource to the end
that individual ,organizational, and social objectives are accomplished.
Thus HRM refers to a set of programmes, functions and
activities designed and carried out in order to maximise both
employees as well as organizational effectiveness.
HRM functions are not confined to business establishments
only. They are applicable to non-business organization, too such as
education, healthcare, recreation, and the like.
