Training & Development

Introduction (Industry profile)


Soap factory (manufacturing) was started in North America, early in
the history of European Colonies and of the republic some American
companies with currently well known names started 50 to 200 years ago.
During middle, Soap was made at various places in Italy, France, Spain,
England and possible other countries, Marseilles in France became
particularly famous and many small factories were established there.

Mankind knew about soap nearly 2000 years back in 70 AD when Mr.
Pllny and Mr. Elder accidentally discovered the soap when roasted meat
overflowed on floor in ashes .this lump like product was soap and had
foaming and cleaning character. Since then 1192 AD the first commercial
bath soap was made and marketed by Mr. Bristol in London. It is in 1031
that for the first time detergent was discovered by Mr. Grency

in the

sulphonated olive oil and almond oil .the world consumption of soap in 1884
A.D. was said to be 2lakh tons/ annum and it was in this year Mr. W.H.
Lever entered the field of the soap making in a big way.

Training & Development

In England and probably many other countries, soap manufacturing


was carried out in large number of very small factories and in a farmhouse
and other homes. Gradually the trade becomes concentrated in small no. of
large factories and this process has contained and accelerated with
development in technology and marketing of detergent products.

During the first and Second World War and the period between
various alternatives to soap were developed particularly in Germany and
later in USA. in part , this was to obtain detergent products from petroleum
and other non fatty materials because of shortage of oils and fats, although
some soap alternatives were still made from fats . By the mid 1950s product
based on non-soapy detergents had obtained a major share of the market in
many developed countries. Soap powders continued to be very important in
UK and are still significant there, although they are declining steadily. In
most of developed countries soap products are now relatively insignificant in
the domestic market except in toilet soaps used in personal washing. In less
developed countries, house hold soaps continue to be main detergent.

Training & Development

In India Northwest Soap company established the first soap industry


in 1897 at Merrat. Following the Swadeshi Movement in 1905 onwards, few
more factories were setup they are:
Mysore Govt. factories at Bangalore
Godrej soaps in Bombay
Followed by Bengal Chemicals, TATA oil mills and later in 1930 the
multinational lever brothers company, today there are about 50 unit in the
organized sector and 15200 and above in small scale sector.

COMMERCIAL EQUATION
OIL + NaOH > Soap + Glycerin
The function of soap industry is to remove dirt and oil from the
surface. The word soap is derived from Latin word Soap means pastry
material.

Soap Industry in India


The true picture of soap industry in India began with M/s. Godrej
setting up their manufacturing unit during 1918 in Bombay and M/s. Govt.
Soap factory in Bangalore. During 1930, M/s. TATA Oil Mills company

Training & Development

setting up their manufacturing unit at Bombay and Kolkata. The industry


stagnated due to in-format price control. The industry soon recovered and
experienced sharp uprising during 1974.

Company Profile
India is the land of species, ivory, previous gems and sandalwood and
magical charms for centuries. The Worlds richest Sandal Wood resources
are from the isolated stretch of forest. In South India, Karnataka is the
original home for Sandal Wood.
Around 70% of total production of sandalwood oil in the world is
produced by Karnataka state, which became a reason to set up a soap factory
in Karnataka.
Soap is one of the oldest chemical substances Known. In ancient
times, Soap is unknown event to Greeks whose culture is very high. The
correct origin of soap is not known to the world and believe that phenonllous
who settled in Braul 600 BC is actual inventor of soaps. As per physician
Brachin who lived in 1931 AD German Soap is the best Soap and is the
basis of Soaps.

Introduction (About Subject)


Introduction to Training and Development
The training and development activity has become an essential in the
present fast changing technology and high competitive environment
prevailing in the industry and other section. Training also helps to increase
the abilities, potentialities of employees and the production in an
organization and also to get higher profits.

Every organization needs to have well- trained and experienced


people to perform the activities that have to be done. If the current or
potential job occupant can meet this requirement, training is not important.
But when that is not the case, it is necessary to raise the skill levels and
increase the versatility and adaptability of employees.

Inadequate job performance or a decline in productivity or changes


resulting out of job re-designing or a technological break through require
some type training and development.

Training & Development

As the jobs become more complex, the importance of employee


development also increases. In a rapidly changing technology employee
training and development are not only an activity that is desirable but also an
activity that an organization must committee resources, if it is to maintain a
viable and knowledgeable work force.

Three Terms of HRD


*TRAINING
*EDUCATION
*DEVELOPMENT
Are three frequently used on the face of it, there might not appear any
difference between them. But when in deep though the term seems to be
same, there appears some difference between them. In all training there is
some education and in all education there is some training and the two
processes cannot be separated for the development.
Training is a process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior.
It is an application of knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the rules
and procedures to guide their behavior. It attempts to improve their
performance on the current job prepare them for an intended job.

Training & Development

Development is related process. It covers not only those activities


which improve job performance but also those which bring about growth of
the personality help individuals in the progress towards maturity and
actualization of their potential capacities so that they become not only good
employees but also better men and women. In organizational terms, it is
intended to equip persons to earn promotion and hold greater responsibility.
Training a person for a bigger and higher job is development and this may
well include not only imparting specific skills and knowledge but also
including certain personality and mental attitude.
Education is the understanding and intervention of knowledge. It
does not provide definite answers, but rather it develops a logical and
rational mind that can determine relationships among pertinent variables and
there by character and understanding of basic principles and develop the
capabilities of analysis, synthesis and objectivity. Usually education is
outside the scope of an organization functions. It involves a range of skills
and expertise which can be provided only by educational institutions. An
organization makes use of such institutions in order to support and
supplement its internal training and development efforts.

Training & Development

History of Training and Development


Some 50 years back the role of the TRAINER was relatively simple. The
more common terms in use were INSTRUCTOR OR TEACHER with
all the emphasis on techniques that these terms suggest.
In Britain there has been shortage of skilled workers since World war2
and many companies shifted their responsibilities for training employees.
This situation has contributed towards the slow rate of economic explosion.
The government attempt to deal with the problem of skill shortage
because companies were suffering from lack of training and development
program keeping this in mind, the INDUSTRIAL TRAINING ACT, 1964
was introduced to supplement the good work of the INDUSTRIAL
TRAINING FEDERATION which was established in 1958 by the trade
union congress, gave root to establish training boards for each industry.
During 1960 and 1970 there was a great progress in training
techniques. Anew and improved method has introduced and also existing
techniques in training method was modified.
During 1987 the government announced new proposal and decisions
affecting the role and composition. Its role was to improve competitiveness
and support the growth of employment and job creation by fostering the
development of a better and more adaptable work force.

Training & Development

Training
Training starts with the identification of needs. Training need start
from an equation which shows that a factor is missing and the training event
satisfies that missing factor. The existence of training need shows that
change is necessary. The change may be from a situation or performance
which the change agent is the training event. These are many such factors
which can be influenced by the training event.
All in all, a properly conducted need assessment and analysis can have a
profound impact on the organization & its performance in any economic
scenario. Tit improves the quality of training programs as well as the need
for traini8ng function ultimately. It can be said that proper need assessment
improves on organization performance by discovering training and on
training problems & their areas of influences.
Training can be defined as The acquisition of skills, concepts or attitudes
that result in improved performance in an on the job situation. Training is

Training & Development

Training Need = Standard performance Actual


Performance
Performance appraisal is one of the important methods by which
training needs can be assured. It contains both the individuals i.e. appraises
strength and weakness and at the same times the training the individual
requires to improve his performance. Performance Appraisal also contains
his immediate boss and his department heads opinion about his performance.
They also recommend training programs to improve the individuals
performance.

Methods of Training
Once the assessment of training need is over, next step is to provide
the needed training to individuals through a number of programs available.
These programs are classified into on the job training & off the training
program.
The Two methods training are:
1. On the Job training.
2. Off the job training.

11.Internal aided instructions
ON THE JOB TRAINING PROGRAM: Under this method the individual
is placed on a regular job & the skills necessary to perform that job. This
type of training, also known as job instruction training on the job training
has the advantage of giving first hand knowledge & experiences under the
actual working conditions. While the trainee learns how to perform a job, he
is also a regular worker rendering the services for which he is paid. The
problem of transfer of trainee is also minimized methods include job
rotation, coaching, job instruction or training through step-by-step &
committee assignments.
Job rotation: This type of training involves the movement of the
trainee from one job to another. The trainee receives job
knowledge & gains experience from, his trainer in each of the
different assignments. This method gives an opportunity to the
trainee to understand the problems of employee on other jobs &
respect them.

18

Training & Development

Coaching: The trainee is placed under a particular supervisors


functions as a coach in training the individual often the trainee
shares some if the duties & responsibilities of the coach &
relieves him of his burden. A limitation of this method of
training is that the trainee may not have the freedom or

the material related to his future job performance. Since the trainee is not
distracted by job requirements, he can place his entire concentration on
learning the job rather than spending his time in performing it. There is an

19

Training & Development

opportunity for freedom of expression for the trainees off the job training
methods are as follows:
Vestibule training: In this method, actual work conditions are
simulated in a classroom, materials, files & equipment those are
used is actual job performance are also used in training the

of

Mysore

late

H.H.Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar, the trading of sandalwood was exported


to Europe and New destination, but with commencement of First world War
India faced Severe Crisis on the business of sandalwood.
This situation gave rise to start of an industry, which produces value added
products which the consumption of Sandalwood oil.
