Executive summary
AMUL is a co-operative sector. It is the institution of the farmers, for the farmers and from the farmers. The AMUL gives pleasure to the farmer to charge the own price, which was not possible in earlier years. This union was born on 14th December 1946. The union provides facilities to its members like more return, satisfactory price, insemination, first aid, group Insurance, cattle food at confessional price etc. I have done case analysis on HRIS of AMUL and from that I have come to know how organization operates and how the functions have been carried in the organization . From this is case I have come to know how a wide organization like AMUL manages its Human resource . AMUL dairy has five main departments like finance, personnel, commercial, milk procurement and production. The finance department does the clerical work and takes care of inflow and outflows of the cash. The other work of finance Department is to audit of annual work. The personnel department handles the work regarding personnel like appointment, recruitment, promotion, transfer, dismissal, demotion, performance appraisal etc.

PART - A ORGANSATION PROFILE

Symbol of Amul is a ring of four hands, which are coordinated each other .The actual meaning of this symbol is coordination of hand of different people by whom this union is now at top. India. Second hand is for the representatives of processors by whom the raw milk processed into different finished products. Third hand is for marketers without whom the product would have not be able to reached to the customer. Fourth hand is for customers without whom the organization could not carry on because they are the people who consume the product. The union of Amul would not have been the second biggest successful company in the world without the coordination of the above four hand. First hand is for the farmers (producers), without whom the organization

would do not existed. Farmers are the inspiration of the AMUL the taste of

The Amul Meaning

AMUL means priceless in Sanskrit . A quality control expert in Anand suggested the brand name AMUL from the Sanskrit word Amoolya variants, all meaning priceless are found in several Indian languages. Amul products have been used in millions of home since 1946 . Amul butter Amul milk powder Amul ghee Amulspray Amul cheese Amul chocolates Amul Ice- cream

Today Amul is a symbol of many things . of high quality products sold at reasonable prices . F triumph of indigenous technology . Of the marketing savvy of a farmers organization . And proven model for dairy development . MOTTO, VISION, AND QUALITY POLICY MOTTO The main motto of AMUL is to help farmers. Farmers were the foundation stone of AMUL. The system works only for farmers and for consumers, not for profit. The main of AMUL is to provide quality products to the consumers at minimum cost. The goal of AMUL is to provide maximum profit in terms of money to the farmers. VISION Vision of AMUL is to provide and vanish the problems of farmers (milk producers). The AMUL apparition was to run the organization with co-operative of four main parties, the farmers, the representatives, the marketers, and the consumers.

QUALITY POLICY We the motivated and devoted work force of AMUL are committed to produce whole some and safe foods of excellent quality to remain market leaders through deployment of quality management system, state of art technology innovation and eco- friendly delightment of customer and betterment of milk producer

HISTORY In early 1940s a farmer in Kaira district, as elsewhere in India, derived his income almost entirely from seasonal crops. The income from milk was paltry and could not be depended upon. The main buyers were milk traders of Polson Ltd.-a privately owned company that enjoyed monopoly for supply of milk from Kaira to the Government Milk Scheme Bombay. The system leads to exploitation of poor and illiterate farmers by the private traders.

12

However, when the exploitation became intolerable, the farmers were frustrated. They collectively appealed to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was a leading activist in the freedom movement. Sardar Patel advised the farmers to sell the milk on their own by establishing a cooperative union, instated of supplying milk to private traders. Sardar Patel sent the farmer to Shri Morarji Dasai in order to gain his Co-operation and help. Shri Dasai held a meeting at Samrkha village near Anand, on January 4, 1946. He advised the farmers to from a society for collection of the milk.These village societies would collect the milk themselves and also decided prices for that which would be profitable for them. The district union was also from to collect the milk from such village cooperative societies and to sell them. It was also resolved that the government should asked to buy milk from the union. However, the government did not seem to help farmer by any means. It gave the negative response by turning down the demand for the milk. To respond to this action of government, farmer of Kaira district went on a milk strike. For 15 days not a single drop of milk was sold to the traders. As a result the Bombay milk scheme was severely affected. The milk commissioner of Bombay then visited Anand to assess the situation. Finely he decided to fulfill the farmers demand. Thus their cooperative unions were forced at village and district level to collect and sell milk on a cooperative basis, without the intervention of government. Mr. Verghese Kurien had main interest in establishing union who was supported by Shri Tribhuvandas Patel who convinced farmers in forming the cooperative unions at thevillage level. The Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers Union was thus established in Anand and was registered formally under section 10 of Bombay Act VII of 1925 on December 14, 1946. Since then farmers are selling all the milk in Anand through cooperative union. In 1955 it was commonly decided the sell milk under the brand name Amul At the initial stage only 250 liters of milk was collected everyday. But with the growing awareness of the benefits of the co-operative-ness the collection of milk increased. Today Amul collect 50, 00,000 liters of milk everyday. As the milk is perishable commodity it became difficult to preserve milk for a longer period. Besides when the milk was to be

13

collected from the far places there was a fear of spoiling of milk. To over come this problem the union thought to develop the chilling unit at various junctions, which would collect the milk and could chill so as preserve it a for a longer period. Thus, today Amul has more than 168 chilling centers in various villages. Milk is collected from almost 1097 societies. With the financial help from UNICEF, assistance from the government of New Zealand under the Colombo plan, of Rs. 50 million for factory to manufactory milk powder and butter. Dr. Rajendara Prasad, the president of India laid the foundation on November 50, 1954. Shri Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the prim minister of India declared it open at Amul dairy on November 20, 1955. A plant to manufacture balanced cattle feed was formally commissioned on October 31, 1964 by Shri Lalbahadur Shastri, the Prime Minister of India. At the request of the government of India, a new dairy with a capacity to manufacture 40 tons of milk powder and 20 tons of butter a day was completed in 1963. This was meant to meet the requirement of Indias defense forces. The dairy was declared open by ShriMorarji Desai in April, 1965. in 1974, the Kaira Union setup a plant to manufacture high-protein weaning food, chocolate and malted food at Mogar, about 8 km south of Anand. In September, 1981, the second cattle feed plant at Kanjari were started. The succesion of the co-generation project on September 11, 1985, marked a milestone on the energy front when two gas turbine generators of 1.5 MW each based on natural gas, were commissioned. On October 31, 1992, Dr. V. Kurien chairman, National Dairy Development Board, laid the foundation of Kaira Unions third dairy with a processing capacity of 6.5 lakh liters of milk a day. Work on the third dairy and cheese plant at Khatraj with capacity for 20 Metric Ton of cheese per day, began in February, 1994. Also in 1994, Kaira Union put up bread spread plant at Mogar with the assistance from National Dairy Development Board.

THE AMUL BUTTER GIRL STORY

Amul Butter Girl: The moppet who put Amul on India's breakfast table. 50 years after it was first launched, Amul's sale figures have jumped from 1000 tones a year in 1966 to over 25,000 tones a year in 1997. No other brand comes even close to it. All because a thumb-sized girl climbed on to the hoardings and put a spell on the masses. Bombay: Summer of 1967. A Charni Road flat. Mrs. Sheela Mane, a 28-year-old housewife is out in the balcony drying clothes. From her second floor flat she can see her neighbors on the road. There are other people too. The crowd seems to be growing larger by the minute. Unable to curb her curiosity Sheela Mane hurries down to see what all the commotion is about. She expects the worst but can see no signs of an accident. It is her four-year-old girl who draws her attention to the hoarding that has come up overnight. Round eyed, chubby cheeked, winking at you, from strategically placed hoardings. She is the Amul moppet everyone loves to love For 30 odd years the Utterly Butterly girl has managed to keep her fan following intact. So much so that the ads are now ready to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for being the longest running campaign ever. The ultimate compliment to the butter came when a British company launched butter and called it Utterly Butterly.

15

It all began in 1966 when Sylvester daCunha, then the managing director of the advertising agency, ASP, clinched the account for Amul butter. The butter, which had been launched in 1945, had a staid, boring image, primarily because the earlier advertising agency which was in charge of the account preferred to stick to routine, corporate ads. The Amul girl who lends herself so completely to Amul butter, created as a rival to the Polson butter girl. This one was, village belle, clothed in a tantalizing choli all but covering her upper regions. "Eustace Fernandez (the art director) and I decided that we needed a girl who would worm her way into a housewife's heart. And who better than a little girl?" says Sylvester daCunha. And so it came about that the famous Amul moppet was born.

The basic philosophy of production management is to launch a frontal attack on direct costs and effective use the availability manpower weaving new techniques in to the whole to keep the production unit efficient and developing production management is the process of planning, organizing, directing and controlling. The Amul is started with only 250 liters of milk per day. But now Amul collect average 9 lakhs of liters milk per day. At the initial stage, Amul has not any problem regarding milk, but in the winter season there was excess supply of milk. So, Amul has to sell out that excess milk at the low price or Amul has to face loss. To removing these problems Amul take decision to set up a plant to process the surplus milk butter and milk powder. Today the Amul has three plants Known as Amul 1, 2 & 3 all three plant work 24 hours a day continuously. The all manufacturing process is done automatically. The production is done in the special machines. These machines and the technology are import-id from the TRFTA PEAK Company. There is also facility of chilling of milk, so that the milk remains usable. Today three plant of AMUL perform different function. 1.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS FOR MILK

MILK PROCUREMENT Total milk procurement by our Member Unions during the year 2006-07 averaged 67.25 lakh kilograms (6.7 million kg) per day, representing a growth of 4.5 per cent over 64.38 lakh kilograms (6.4 million kg) per day achieved during 2005-06. The highest procurement as usual was recorded during January 2007 at 84.09 lakh kilograms (8.4 million kg) per day. This increase in milk procurement is very impressive, keeping in mind the massive loss suffered by our farmers due to floods during the monsoon season, specially in Surat district.

MILK PROCESSING
1 Homogenization: - Milk must then be homogenized. Without homogenization, the milk fat would separate from the milk and rise to the top. Milk fat is what gives milk its

35

rich and creamy taste. In this process Milk is transferred to a piece of equipment called a homogenizer. In this machine the milk fat is forced, under high pressure through tiny holes.

2 . Pasteurization:- Pasteurization is the process that purifies milk and helps it stay fresher, longer. Milk is pasteurized by heating it to 72C for 16 seconds then quickly cooling it to 4C. Pasteurization is named after Louis Pasteur, the famous scientist.

.Adding Vitamins; - Before homogenization, vitamin D is added to all milk.

Vitamin D combined with the calcium that naturally exists in milk help gives us strong bones and teeth. Dairies also add Vitamin A to skim, 1% and 2% milk. Vitamin A is good for our eyesight.

36

4.Packaging Milk: - Milk is now ready to be packaged. Milk is pumped through automatic filling machines direct into bags, cartons and jugs. The machines are carefully sanitized and packages are filled and sealed without human hands. During the entire time that milk is at the dairy, it is kept at 1 - 2C. This prevents the development of extra bacteria and keeps the milk its freshest.

5.Storing:- Milk is delivered to grocery stores, convenience stores and restaurants in refrigerated trucks that keep milk cooled to 1 - 4C. The stores take their milk and immediately place it in their refrigerated storage area. Because fresh milk is so important to our diets, dairies, and our health.

Processing : After the union received the milk, it was tested and if it was found to be of good quality, it was sent for processing. If the milk was found to have high acidity, it was used to make buttermilk. Raw milk was sent through a filter and clarifier and was pasteurized. For pasteurization, milk was treated at high temperatures for a specified. This helped in destroying the pathogens and in maintaining the quality. After pasteurization, the milk was sent through a separation machine. Here the cream was separated and skimmed milk was obtained. According to the demand, the unions packed the milk after it was pasteurized and sent for distribution. The cream was marketed as Amul Fresh cream . Distribution GCMMF coordinated with various unions to get a regular supply of milk and dairy products. The processed milk and dairy products were procured from district dairy unions and distributed through third party distributors. To ensure quality and timely deliveries, GCMMF and the district unions had several mechanisms in place. The VCS constantly monitored the deliveries of the milk collected and ensured that the milk was picked up on time. The unions monitored the supplies of milk and the distribution of finished products. WARE HOUSING: Amul products are available in over 500,000 retail outlets across India through its network of over 3,500 distributors. There are 47 depots with dry and cold warehouses to buffer inventory of the entire range of products. GCMMF transacts on an advance demand draft basis from its wholesale dealers instead of the cheque system adopted by other major FMCG companies. This practice is consistent with GCMMF's philosophy of maintaining cash transactions throughout the supply chain and it also minimizes dumping. Wholesale dealers carry inventory that is just adequate to take care of the transit time from the branch warehouse to their premises. This just-in-time inventory strategy improves dealers' return on investment (ROI). All GCMMF branches engage in route scheduling and have dedicated vehicle operation .

INTRODUCTION: Finance Management

Sound working capital management has become a necessity in era of information technology for a company to succeed. The best example to support this argument is the performance of Dell computers as reported in one of the recent Fortune article. A perusal of the article will give us an insight into how Dell could use technology for improving the performance of components of working capital. Use of internet as a tool for reducing costs of linking manufacture with their supplier and dealers. Outsourcing operations if the firms core competence does not permit the performance of the operation effectively. Train the employees to accept change. Introduction of internet business. Releasing Capital by reduction in investment in inventory for improving the profitability of operating capital.

A financial manager spends a large part of his time in managing working capital. There are two important elements of working capital management. Decision on the amount of current assets to be held by a firm for efficient operations of its business. Decision on financing working capital requirement. Inadequacy or mismanagement of WORKING CAPITAL is the leading cause of many business failures. Working capital is that portion of asset of a business which are used in

55

current operations. They are used in the operating cycle of the firm. It is defined as the excess of Current Assets over Current Liabilities and provisions.

Objective of Working Capital Management: The basic objective of financial management is maximizing the Net wealth of shareholders. A firm must earn sufficient return from its operations to ensure the realization of this objective. There exists a positive correlation between sales and firms return on its investment. The amount of earnings that a firms earns depends upon the volume of sales achieved. There is the need to ensure adequate investment in current assets, keeping pace with accelerating sales volume. Firms makes sales on credit. There is always a time gap between sale of goods on credit and the realization of proceeds of sales from the firms customers. Finance manager of a firm is required to finance the operation during the time gap. Therefore, objective of Working Capital Management is to ensure smooth functioning of the normal business operations of a firm. The firm has to decide on the amount of Working Capital to be employed. The firm may have a conservative policy of holding large quantum of current assets to ensure large market share and to prevent the competitors from snatching any markets for their products. But such a policy will affect the firms return on its investment. The firm will have higher than the required amount of investment on current assets. This excess funds locked in current assets will reduce the firms profitability on operating capital. NEED FOR WORKING CAPITAL: The need for working capital arises on account of two reasons:

56

 To finance operations during the time gap between sale of goods on credit and realization of money from customer of the firm. To finance investments in current assets for achieving the growth targets in sales. Therefore finance the operations in operating cycle of a firm working capital is required.

COMPONENTS OF WORKING MANAGEMENT

There are two main components are given below: 1. Current Assets and 2. Current Liabilities. Current Assets are: Inventories Sundry Debtors Bills Receivables Cash and Bank Balances Short term investment Advances such as advances for purchase of raw materials, components and consumable stores, prepaid expenses etc. Current Liabilities are: Sundry Creditors Bills Payable Creditors for outstanding expenses Provision for tax Other provisions against the liabilities payable within a period of 12 months.

Net Working Capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities and provisions. Net Working Capital is positive when Current Assets exceed current liabilities, and negative when current liabilities exceed current assets. This concept has been following practical relevance. 1. 2. It indicates the ability of the firm to effectively use the spontaneous finance in managing the firms Working Capital requirements. A firms short term solvency is measured through the Net Working Capital position it commands.

Efficient Working Capital Management requires that the firms should operate with the amount of Net Working Capital. The data of last three years shows the margins by which Current assets over the short term obligations and such margins were more in 2007-08 as compared to past years. The portion of current which can be financed through long-term assets has decreased in 2008-09 as the portion of current liabilities has proportionately increased and hence the Net Working Capital is low in 2008-09.

STUDY OBJECTIVES :
To understand , how human resource being managed by the organization. To study the maintenance of the records of their employees. To study if organization is using ICT for HR functions and database. To study the users perception about HRIS to maintain

Definition:
A Human Resources Information System, is a system that lets you keep track of all your employees and information about them. It is usually done in a database or, more often, in a series of inter-related databases Human Resources is an organizational function that deals with issues such as recruitment and selection, training, appraisal, compensation and performance management of the employee.

Information System :
A system, whether automated or manual, that comprises people, machines, and/or methods organized to collect, process, transmit, and disseminate data that represent user information .

HRIS
Human Resource Information System (HRIS) is a systematic way of storing data and information for each individual employee to aid planning, decision making, and submitting of return and reports to the external agencies . It merges HRM as a discipline and in particular its basic HR activities and processes with the information technology field. It can be used to maintain details such as employee profiles, absence reports, salary administration and various kinds of reports.

62

INTRODUCTION :
An information system is an inter-related set of procedures and processes to provide information for decisions. Information is data that have been processed so that they are meaningful. It adds to the representation of an idea. It corrects and confirms previous information. It tells us something which we did not know. Many organisations have computer-assisted information systems. Thus HRIS is a system that enables storing of information of Human Resource in every aspect such as Personal, Academic, Qualification, Family, Medical, Career and Performance Evaluation, Training & Development & Wage and Salary of individuals. Unlike manual systems the HRIS enables availability of all such information in a single screen. Reports on various parameters can be generated with ease. Moreover reliability of such records is assured. An information system especially developed for human resource management is referred to as HRIS a human resource information system. Human resource management, when it doesnt include the human resource planning function, requires only a basic HRIS. If this basic HRIS is computer-supported, it is likely to include transition processing system or management information system. An information system provides for the accumulation by gathering, processing by deleting extraneous information, deciding among divergent information and putting the information in a logical arrangement that promotes its understanding. Finally, the information is stored in a readily accessible configuration.

HR Information System Includes : This system include the employee name and contact information and all or some of the following: Department Job Title

63

Grade Salary Salary History Position History Employee details (Personal & Professional) Employee Posting information on appointment /transfer Employee promotion/ appointment information Employee Service verification details Employee Leave Information including(Leave available , leave availed,) Employee confidential report information Employee Training information

Needs Of HR Information System

Human resource manager requires considerable amount of data for planning and control of human resources and for this there is a strong need of a sound information system. Efficiently storing each employee information and data for reference- personal data management, pay roll accounting, benefits management and planning. Enabling informed decision making in day-to-day personnel issues, planning, budgeting, implementing and monitoring Human Resource function.

64

Facilitating decision making in areas like promotion, transfer, nomination, settling employees provident funds, retirement, gratuity, LTC, and earned leave compensation

Cutting costs. Improving accuracy

Advantages Of HR Information System

Reduction in the amount and cost of stored human resource data. Availability of timely and accurate information about human assets. Developing of performance standards for the human resource division. More meaningful career planning and counselling.

EFFECTIVENESS OF HRIS The key to the effective planning of manpower and improvement of people productivity is an effective HRIS. However, in order to be effective an information system must take into account the following : Adequacy of information: Too much or too little information, both lead to defective decision-making. Therefore, there must be some understanding regarding what information and in how much detail and covering what periods should be maintained. Specificity: Even where it is not possible to quantify the information, the information should be made as specific as possible. Relevance: Information is to be managed in the light of the requirements of the decision makers. Therefore, HRIS focus on the needs of the decision-makers and stakeholders rather than on what is interesting or easily available or palatable to the

65

people. The system, therefore, must also have the built in capability for deletion and updating of data. Comprehensiveness: The information should be complete from the point of view of the decision-maker giving details of who, what, how, when, where and why . Reliability: Since the information is going to be the basis of critical decisions, it must satisfy the requirements of validity and reliability. Moreover, to ensure effectiveness, not only should the information provided be relevant and reliable but the delivery system should also be the most satisfying and cost effective. A wealth of information but not accessible when needed or available at an inhibiting personal cost in terms of energy and time, is of hardly any use.

IT SUPPORTED HRIS
In todays enterprises, HRIS are typically Information Technology (IT) supported systems. This is not to say that without IT HRIS cannot be introduced. But information technology allows much greater effectiveness of HRIS than a manual system. Some of the deficiencies of the Manual Systems which an IT based HRIS overcomes to a considerable extent Convenience: In IT enabled systems, data entry, update and retrieval are all significantly faster. Redundant data may be easily replaced. Integration: A computerized system can greatly reduce fragmentation and duplication of data. All data can be stored in a single system to enable retrieval of complete picture of each employee or of each defined parameter in a desired number of permutation and combinations. Moreover, depending on the requirement, reports can be generated in different ways that provide an accurate picture. Verification of data and error rectification are also relatively easy in computerized systems. Multi-user benefit Different people can access the data simultaneously, which facilitates quick

66

dissemination across geographical and structural boundaries and facilitates faster decision-making. Moreover, on-line data entry is possible that leads to automatic updating of data resulting into better informed decisions. However, to obtain these advantages, it is important that the knowledge and expertise is available to the organization, internally or from outside, to develop and tailor- make the system to suit the organizations unique needs.

A CASE STUDY OF HUMAN RESOURCE INFORMATION SYSTEM AT AMUL

Human resource information system , that enables the organization in collecting , storing , maintaining ,retrieving and validating data needed about its human resource . HR data are wide in their variety, and include job history (transfers, promotions, etc.),current and historical pay details, inventories of skills and competencies, education and training records, performance assessment details, absence, lateness, accident ,medical and disciplinary records, warning and suspensions, holiday entitlements, pensions data and termination records. An HRIS normally provides an electronic database for the storage and retrieval of this data which is, at least potentially, available to anyone who may want to access it. The important issue however, is- how this IT system is actually used in carrying out the HR tasks. ERP is an information system to drive the business. It enables the organization to take systematic decision in the area of planning , execution and control based on relevant and current information . HRIS - Vendors Automatic Data Processing Inc. SAP AG Restrac Web Hire ERP Oracle/PeopleSoft Human Resource Microsystems Business Computer Systems Lawson Software

This are the vendors who provides the different types of system to different organisation . From the above various systems the AMUL uses the system named ERP ORACLE Enterprise resource planning . The areas of application of HRIS as follow. 1. Training management

69

2. Turnover analysis 3. Succession planning 4. Attendance reporting 5. Accident reporting . AMUL uses the system centrally in the organisation and over all the plants of the Amul which is located in various area such as Mogar - chocolate plant Khatraj plant cheese plant Kanjari plant cattle feed plant .

The system operates in AMUL for different manner , and with the help of this system different records are maintained with the help of ERP ORACLE . Types of record maintained through HRIS . Personnel administration - It will encompass information about each employee, such as name address, personal details etc. Salary administration - Salary review procedure are important function of HRM, a good HRIS system must be able to perform what if analysis and present the reports Of changes. Leave and absence recording Essentially be able to provide comprehensive method of controlling leave/absences. Skill inventory - It is also used to store record of acquired skills and monitor the skill database both employee and organizational level. Performance appraisal The system should record individual employee performance, appraisal data, such as due date of appraisal, scores etc.

70

Human resource planning HRIS should record details of the organizational requirements in terms of positions

Recruitment Record details of recruitment activities such as cost and method of recruitment and time to fill the position etc.

Career planning - System must be able to provide with succession plans reports to identify which employee have been earmarked for which position.

Collective bargaining A computer terminal can be positioned in the conference room linked to database. This will expedite negotiations by readily providing up to date data based on facts and figures and not feelings and fictions.

Database

In database the system records the information of the previous

applicant , who is been not selected for the job this information is useful to the organization for next recruitment procedure for inviting for job in this way the cost is saved by the organization because there is no need of giving advertisement for next recruitment. Service records In service records all the details regarding promotion of an employee , education detail of employees , personal details, in which it records the employee No , employee working in which location etc . Employee summary In employee summary the information regarding employee is available according to grade wise , designation wise , skilled wise , and the total information of manpower is available. Training The training information of an each employee is being available through this system because it records that when the employees is being given training and when will be the next training is to be given to the employees . Time keeping : time keeping in Amul is decentralized , plant wise but with the help of ERP system the record of absence and present record is can be available at Amuls head office Anand. Recruitment : this system is not used in any steps of recruitment process of the Amul .

71

In AMUL , the HRIS is not used for the recruitment process as it is done manually in the organization the recruitment of the is carried in the following way Vacancy in department Advertisement Receiving of application Short listing of applicant There is no role of HRIS ( ERP oracle ) in the recruitment process , after the short listing of the application the application which are selected is called for an personal interview with the general manager of the AMUL . After employee such as a) Personal details b) Previous organization details c) Training details d) Service records e) Joining details f) Retirement details the candidate is selected for the particular job , the role of HRIS starts by keeping different types of records of an

HRIS is also useful in the turnover analysis of the Amul , it helps the organization to know the number of time employees left the organization .

72

HRIS , is useful in keeping the Accident details of the employees , on the basis of this reports employees are injured due accident are been given medical facility and financial help .

The time keeping process of Amul is decentralized , in the various plants of Amul 1. Mogar plant 2. Khatraj plant 3. Anand plant 4. Kanjari plant

if any information regarding any employee absence and present of other plant is needed by the central head office at Anand , that it is available with the help of ERP ORACLE ,

73

Users perception
After interviewing the fifteen respondents from the organization I have come to know that the organization is using the software named ERP ORACLE in HRIS and by observing and interviewing the user of the system the following data is gathered . The users of the system is fully satisfied with the present system ERP ORACLE The AMUL is using this system since last thirteen years and they are trying to bring change by implementing new system named progress . With help of HRIS the organization gets the following benefits such as
1. Time saving 2. Cost saving 3. Effective work

SAP which is under the

HRIS helps to supports the following HR task of the Amul 1. HR development and workplace training 2. Communication 3. Career management(for employees) 4. Decision making
