After carrying survey in depth, I found the following information about the
NIRMA Ltd., Kalatalav, Bhavnagar Dist.

India rank is in top five in a production of soap and detergent. We all know
that, the population of India increase day-to-day. Therefore the demand of
soap and detergent also increase. So here wide scope for the development of
these sort of industries. In India, there are few large manufacturers of soap
and detergent, and NIRMA is one of theme. In this era of technology and
internet people are also aware of brand and quality offered by the company.
Therefore, there is a strong need to research by using such type of survey.

The project gives information about the structure of organization, structure of


each department, like, production department, marketing department, Human
resource department, finance department, purchase and distribution
department etc. the skill gives information about the classification of the skill
and steps taken to impart the necessary skill to the employees. The style
gives information about the work culture; decision-making, of the
organization, the strategy gives information about the strategies used by the
organization. The system gives information about the training system
followed in the organization. The H.R.Dept. Gives information about the
number of employees’ different skills in the organization. The shared values
talk about the values of the organization.

The summary of the annual report gives the information about that the
organization is doing well and it is making a very good amount of profit and

manufactures soap, detergent and salt. It produces various types of soaps, and
detergents in all over the India. Its products meets international ISO 9001-
2000 standards, and accepted in all over the world. It can perform best in the
world. In this field.

Practical training is a pant of MBA. So I have to pass through training in any


company. Regarding that I got chance to work with the NIRMA ltd. For a 4
weeks Organization study training. The basic aim behind this project was to
experience the environment of work performed by the managerial
perspective.

I have mentioned all the necessary information, which I have collected and
observed during my visit. I was providing with all the necessary information
and knowledge in production department, marketing department, Human

EWCM / N.RAO / SVG
The main objective of this internship training is to gain a better knowledge
about the company, its policies, strategies, operations. and Its management.
Therefore, here, we have to apply some methods which are useful for the
study of organization. And these methods are used in a organizational study.

 OBJERVATION:-

Direct observations are a best method for the organizational study. And
conduct the data, if required.

 COLLECTION:-

After observation data collection is necessary. Because without collection of


data you can’t get information, when you want.

 DATA STORING:-

The data which are in processed and stored and keep ready to analyses.
Stored data is very useful for getting information.

 DATA INTERPRETATION:-

After collecting data, here interpretation is very necessary. Because, if you


interprets you can understand easily.

 SUGGESTION:-

After above all the steps my suggestion is that for getting real and useful
information above all the steps are necessary for the researcher. Therefore
researcher should apply above all the steps.

There are many limitations or constraints involved in doing the study. Some
of them are as follows.

-6-
EWCM / N.RAO / SVG
 The major constraint was the timidity of the study.

 The time period prescribed by Bangalore University is about 4 weeks.


Which is not enough for the study an organization?

 Some information which company keeps confidential. Which are


related to the project.

 The data used in study is limited and is based on information provided


by NIRMA Ltd. Annual report 2007 and NIRMA Ltd. Booklets.

Combined leverage means, it is the multiplication of operating and


financial leverages. And it is the ratio between Contribution and EBT.

Capital Structure

Capital structure refers to the mix or different sources of financing to


the total capitalization. A capital structure theory explains the theoretical
relationship between cost of capital and the value of the firm.

The important approaches are:

• Net income approach


• Net operating income approach

Net income approach:-

According to NI approach, capital structure is relevant, as a change in


it will lead to a corresponding change in the cost of capital and the total value
of the firm.

Net operating income approach:-

Net operating income approach has totally irrelevant capital structure.


A change in leverage will not cause any change in the cost of capital and
value of the firm.

Apart form these are the techniques, there are other techniques being used
in the financial management. They are as follows.

• Working capital

• Inventory management

• Cash management

• Leasing

EWCM / N.RAO / SVG
PRODUCTION SUMMARY:-

For a right understanding of the process, a short summary is necessary. Soda


Ash is produced from the raw- materials salt and limestone. Salt is dissolved
in water (or purified seawater, section 100) and limestone is converted into
lime and carbon dioxide with the aid of cokes (section 200). Using the solvay
process the NaCl solution is ammoniated first to facilitate CO2 absorption
(section 300). (Ammonia is not consumed by the process but recovered after
use and recycled). Absorption of CO2 in the ammoniated brine results in
precipitation of bicarbonates (section 400).

The precipitated bicarbonates are separated from the mother liquor and
transformed into light soda Ash by calcinations (section 500). The CO2
formed by calcinations is recover and used for carbonation (section 600).
Necessary steam and power is generated in a cogenerations plant consisting
of lignite boiler and turbines.

PRODUCTION CAPACITY (per Annuam):-

The production of soda Ash during the year 2006-2007 in India was of the
order of 27.30 lakh metric tones as against the 24.20 lakh metric tones of
previous year. In increase 4.10 lakh metric tones.

 PROCESS OF SODA ASH :-

The production of soda Ash involves a number of operations, which have


been grouped in to six- process sections. And seven- service selection. For
the right understanding of the process a short summery is necessary.

Soda Ash is produced from the row material salt and limestone, salt is
dissolved in water or purified sea water (sec.-100) and limestone is converted
into lime and carbon dioxide with the aid of cokes (sec.-200). Using the
solvay process the NaCl salutation is ammoniated first to facilitate CO2 in
the ammoniated brine result in preparation of bicarbonate (sec.-400). The
precipitated bicarbonates are separated from the mother liquor and transform
into light soda Ash by calcinations (sec.-500) the CO2 formed by
calcinations is recover into dense soda Ash densification (sec.- 600),

- 40 -
EWCM / N.RAO / SVG
necessary steam and power is generated into cogeneration plant consisting of
lignite fired boiler and turbines, (sec.-3000-3400) comes in pure water plant
operation. The capacity is 1,800 TPD.

 PROCESS OF VACUUM SALT PLANT :-

Soda Ash plant need pure water, that water is given by this plant, which is
basically, supported plant.

Pure water plant can be feed by;

 Sea water.
 Raw brine.
 Purified brine.

Starting feed stock, low pressure stream is used for evaporation to only one
effect, pure water is produced by use of triple effect, vapor used as heating
medium of evaporation under vacuum conduction, salt anhydrite crystal is
back washed with brine after every effect for quality, up gradation salt is
washed and dried through
Fluidized bad dryer, vacuum salt is stored in silos, vacuum salt is dried
through fluidized bed dryer after extraction from silo, salt is iodized for
edible purpose with activities has no human interface, salt is transported to
packing section, where edible purpose iodized salt is packed in 1 kg / 500
gm. Purchase vacuum salt for industrial usages is pocked in 50kg. Bags.

 PROCESS OF TOILET SOAP :-

First of raw oil / fat is passed through high pressure, autoclave for splitting
with high pressure steam, when oil fat is split into crude fatty Acid and sweet
water, which are collected their respective settings tanks.

Crude fatty Acid is than heated desecrated and fed into distillation still where
it is distilled under vacuum the vapors of the distilled fatty Acid are
conversed in the condenser and distilled fatty Acid at collected in the storage
tank, the recycle from the distillation still is collected separately which is
recycled for the further recovery of fatty Acid. Fatty Acid are specified with
caustic solution in crutches to produced sodium salt of fatty Acid which is
called soap obtained in liquid from the liquid soap is then vacuum dried and
obtained bar. From the soap is then perfumed and color. The finished bar is

-: ATTENDANCE SYSTEM:-
In the company, the attendance system is so good and totally modern. Here,
every employee has punching card for the attendance. And there is punching
machine on time-office. Every employee has to pass from them, and put the
card in a punching machine. Automatically their attendance at time is taken
the computer.

When, after shift hour, when employees return from their job, this process
again is done.

Because of this process, taking attendance became so easy. And for that
company can save the time and man hour for the taking attendance. And
perfect attendance is taken here. Thus, the system of attendance is so good
here.
