INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The study is intended to attain first hand experience of the overall functioning of
the organisation. It also provide a chance to see the practical constrains faced by the
manager while putting theory in to practice.
1.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

 To get an organisational exposure.
 To understand the organisational structure.
 To understand the functioning of each and every department.
 To understand the functioning of the organisation.
 To understand the basis of departmentation.
 To study about the employee-employer relationship.
 To make an evaluation of the performance of the organisation.
 To make a SWOT analysis.
1.3 METHODOLOGY
The methodology adopted in the study comprises the collection of both primary
and secondary data. The data was collected from different section, office staff, workers etc
a. .Primary data.
 The primary data was collected through personal interview with the managers
and personnel’s in the organisation.
 By site visits.
b. Secondary data
The secondary data was mainly collected from

 The company journals, handbooks of UEI Ltd.
 Through survey reports and publications being prescribed by UEI Ltd.
1.4 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Page 2
The limitations are:
 Some information’s is collected through the interviews with the mangers and
employee. The personal interviews may be affected by personal bias.
 The personal resource of the company is limited. So it was challenge to collect
data without interrupting the normal operation of the company.
 It was not possible to get all the details of the organization especially in terms
of financial matter. The study has been taken only from the published
information and hence analysis can be only on macro basis.
 The information collected from the company records relates only to the past
which may not be an overall representative of the future.
 The study is purely of academic interest. The inexperience makes the analysis
less precious when compared to professional analysis. Hence the conclusions
from the analysis of statement are not sure indicators.
 The result of this study cannot be generalized for other similar organizations.
 Time was the major limitation of the study.
 The study mainly based on secondary sources and therefore errors are possible.
INDUSTRY PROFILE
Page 3
Electrical Industry in India came into existence

only after the First World War period. The first electrical industry to be set up in India was the
Fan Industry in Calcutta in 1921. The manufacture of electrical equipments like transformers,
motors, generators and insulators were taken up later. The first Public Sector Electrical
Industry to be set up in Kerala was the Metropolitan Engineering Company Ltd.
Thiruvananthapurarm in 1945. The starting of United Electrical Industries Ltd. (U.E. I) at
Kollam in 1950 closely followed it. In 1960 the management of the United Electrical Industry
Ltd; had taken over by the Government of Kerala. At present there are five Public Sector
electrical equipment industries in Kerala.
One of the main problems the industrial world faces now is the scarcity of
energy. The demand is more and the supply is less. More research is done to find out
alternative sources of energy. The researchers are still in the beginning phase. Till some new
alternative energy sources is found out, but the dependence will be on the existing sources.
Electricity being the important among them plays a major role in almost all the industries.
Production of electricity has become more expensive which demands careful utilization and
accurate measurement keeping this in mind, analogue measuring instruments have been
replaced by electronic ones by suppliers of electricity.
Up to the 1870s electricity had little use beyond the telephone and telegraph.
After the invention of the incandescent lamp by Edison in 1879 and the subdivision of lighting
circuits for individual control of the lamps, it was no longer practical to measure lamp hours.
Then by the introduction of transformer helped to make the present system of AC transmission
and distribution possible. There was one obstacle, no meter to accurately measure and record
the usage of electricity. Around this time the first new standard model watt-hour meter was
developed by Elihu Thomson and Thomas Duncan which was a commercial success. Although
it was designed for the AC circuits, worked equally well with DC circuits at that time. After
that meters were made by diferent manufacturers in different models and versions according to
the demand and consistency in designs.
With the advances in the electronics in the 1970s the manufacturers started
introduction of electronic registers and automatic meter reading devices. By the mid 1980s
hybrid meters with electronic registers were mounted. By the early 1990s introduction of
electronic parts resulted in the dropping of the induction type models and paved the way to
electronic models which become more feasible and popular.

Page 4
Most popular electric meters are:
 Electronic Energy Meter

 Single phase AC Watt hour meter
 Static energy meters
 Induction Meters
In India some of the leading Meter Manufacturing Companies are
 Bharath Electric Meters, Coimbatore

 Star Enterprises ,Mumbai
 Syntron Controls, Mumbai
 Gayathri control and Automation Pvt Ltd,Gujarat
 New India Trading Corporation, Maharashtra

Human resource department is concerned with the people dimension in the

organisation. Here in either Personnel officer is the head of the department .Under him there is
a time officer for establishment.
The personnel department deals with the recruitment, wage administration,
promotion, industrial relations, disciplinary action etc.
The employees are appointed through PSC and Employment exchange. The
additional employees required are taken as apprentices or on contract basis. This allows the
company to reduce the labour cost to a large extent. There are temporary employees as well as
permanent employees. They can be distinguished through their uniforms within the
organization.
Presently there are 136 permanent employees including the manager And
engineers out of which 133 are presently working and the remaining 3 are on deputation and
long leave.
OBJECTIVES
 To recruit the right kind of person for the right job at the right time.
 To arrange for training programmes.
 To evaluate the performance the employees.
 To provide wages and salaries to the employees.
 To handle grievances of the employees.

Page 17
 To provide welfare measures to the employees.

 To look for safety measures..
FUNCTIONS
 Manpower Planning
 Recruitment training and development.
 Employee relations
 Performance management
 Back end operations
MANPOWERPLANNING
One essential requirement of every manager is his ability to plan because
responsibility for planning extends to every function. It follows that planning for manpower
resource is a major responsibility to ensure adequate supply of personnel at the right time both
in terms of their quality, aptitude and effective utilization of these personnel. Manpower
planning involve two stages the first stage is concerned with the detailed planning of
manpower requirements for all types and levels of employees throughout the period of plan and
second stage is concerned with the planning of manpower supplies to provide the organization
with the right type of people from all the sources to meet the plans which goes through the
following steps.
Step1: Manpower planning depends upon the demand for the product. Usually demand for the
product depends on the Government policy as the major customer for the product is KSEB. A
detailed organization chart is prepared and the management tries to determine how many
people, at what level, at what positions and with what kind of experience and training would be
required to meet the objective.
Step2:At the next step ,the company undertakes inventorying and auditing of manpower
resources available with it, career planning is done for the key personnel. Manpower inventory
indicate the position that can be filled up by internal promotions, the losses that may be caused
through the unexpected and anticipated separations. Ultimately the net requirement of the
company is indicated.
Step3:At this stage the company formulates its requirement plan to fill up the vacancies in the
organization .Requirement plan includes the sources of recruitments, both internal and external
and the period in which the manpower resources would be made available after all the
procedures are completed.

Page 18
But for the last few years the demand for the product is steady because of the Government
policy. To reduce the loss, the company followed ‘lean structure policy’. It decreases the size
of the company by adopting a’ voluntary retirement schemes’
RECRUITMENT, TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Normally an organization can fill up its vacancies either through promotion of

people available in the organization or through the selection of people from the outside. Thus
there can be two sources of supply of manpower
 Internal
 External
Selection of a particular source depend up on certain factors enumerated below,

a) the policy of taking candidates from inside and outside affect the attitude and actions of the
people in the organization.
b)the level of socialization required and the time taken for that determine the inside or outside
source of recruitment.
c) The need for originality and new ideas also affect the recruitment policy.
Since UNILEC is Government Company, it has to adopt to the Government policy
in recruitment and selection. While the vacancies through internal sources can be filled up
either through promotion and transfer, recruiters tend to focus their attention on outside
sources. In UNILEC, public employment agencies are utilized for filling up different positions.
From a pool of people some are selected according to requirement .Mainly PSC
and Employment Exchanges do the selection. The vacancies are reported to the agencies with
specified qualification. There are employment seekers who themselves get registered with
these exchanges. Normally such exchanges provide candidates for lower position like
semiskilled and skilled workers. The Kerala Public Service Commission does the recruitment
and selection process for administrative personnel.
Apart from this apprenticeship trainee are also selected. These people are recruited
with the help of Related Insertion center. (for ITI diploma holders)Supervisory Development
Board(for diploma and BTech people)
Training imparts skills and knowledge to the employees so that they contribute to
the organizations efficiency and will able to cope with the pressures of changing environment.

Page 19
Training plays the following roles in the organization.

a) Increase efficiency
b) Increase in morale
c) Better human relations
d) Reduced supervision
e) Increased organisational viability and flexibility.
UEI shall determine the competency of the personnel performing the work
affecting the QMS on the basis of assessment done by immediate superior. The identified
needs shall be consolidated for preparation of the training plan for satisfying the training
needs. A yearly competence Improvement plan, covering training, exposure visits, self
learning etc shall be prepared.
PMW is in overall charge of training. He will make necessary arrangements for
providing training programs for the managerial staff where as the personnel officer will do
necessary arrangement for training of workers. The effectiveness of the training provided
should be properly evaluated as per HRD-DG-01 .Also management will ensure that
personnel are aware of the relevance and importance of their activity, especially those
mentioned in the work instruction. Also the divisional heads will make the employees in
his section aware regarding the requirement for the achievement of quality objectives.
Appropriate records of qualification, training, skill and experience shall be maintained by
the Personnel officer. The objective of UEI is to provide people with knowledge and skill
together with experience which will improve their competence. The effectiveness of
training programmes provided shall be evaluated.
The company follows executive development program as well as the worker
training. The concerned manager or supervisor informs the personal department if there
arise a need for training and development .The basic aim for training is to induce a suitable
change in the individual concerned. Therefore the training needs have to relate both in
terms of organization’s demand and that of individual’s. The work committee including the
CMD, Senior Manager-works and developmental programs. It authorizes the HR
department to conduct the same. The HR department, as per suggestions of the concerned
manager or supervisor decides the content and other details.
If the program can be conducted with an internal faculty, it is thus organized
and if there is any need for more expert training and development, external faculties are
used. The HR department decides this. The duration is also decided as per the report of

Page 20
manager and supervisor. The external training is given with the help of Kerala State
Productivity Council and Workers Education Center.
The evaluation is done on the basis of feedback from trainers. Also a floor shop
evaluation is also done. If the training results are not satisfactory retraining programs are
conducted.

PERFORMENCE APPRAISAL
Performance appraisal refers to the systematic evaluation of the individual with
respect to his performance on the job and his potential for development. Performance
appraisal is concerned with determining the differences among the employees working in
the organization.
In UNILEC, the concerned supervisor or manager continuously appraises the
performance of the employees under him. The company follows a confidential report
method. In this method one or more senior officer rates each employee for his performance
confidentially. A confidential report by immediate supervisor is still a major determinant
of the subordinate’s promotion or transfer. This report deals with the year’s work and
general opinion of the rater towards the employee. The main problem with this method is
that it is not data based and appraisal is done on the basis of impressions.
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
Good industrial relations are important for rapid
Industrialisation..Industrial relations describe the relationship between the management
and individual employee in that light it is sometimes called employer-employee
relations or personnel relations.
In UNILEC a good relation between employees and management prevails. In the past
30 years, the company witnessed no industrial disputes. In some years the company’s
Page 23
performance was not good .During all those years the employees offered their
wholehearted support to management.
TRADE UNIONS
A Trade Union is an organization of workers that is formed with a view of protecting

and promoting the interest of the workers. In UNILEC, the major trade unions are
 Electrical Industries Employment Association

 Meter Employees Association

is the company which produces Electric Meters and Starters. Before production of electronic
meters the company was manufacturing mechanical meters. For this they have a full fledged
manufacturing unit. Due to sudden change in customer need for mechanical meter to electric
meter, it couldn't develop or install machines for this purpose. As a result now it imports,
various parts of the meter from different places and assembles it manually. Only some
components such as connectors, seal wires for the meters are now manufactured. As a part of
its diversification program, UEI planned the production of Water meters and AB Switches.
The objectives of production departments
 To achieve monthly production target as per customer requirement,

 To improve quality by reducing process rejection below 3%
 Increase productivity by effective utilization of resources
 Maintain production and discipline in the section
 Co-ordination of workers and shop floor activities
 Share information
