1.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE:

The polymer industry gives the polymer materials to the market. The materials offer their
services in various fields like Packaging, Building and construction, Electronics, Aerospace
and Transportation. Polymer industry is a part of the chemical industry.

Poly means many ; meros means parts. Polymers are either Natural & Synthetic. The first
synthetic polymer, a phenol-formaldehyde polymer, was introduced under the name
“Bakelite”. Rayon is the first synthetic Fiber. Polymers are commonly used in thousands of
products as plastics, elastomers, coatings, and adhesives. They make up about 80% of the
organic chemical industry. Natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene in the form of folded
polymeric chains which are joined in a network structure and have a high degree of
flexibility. Polymer is composition of monomers. Carbons atoms combine with hydrogen,
oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, or sulphur to form monomers. Monomers are then chemically
bonded into a chain called Polymers. Plastic are polymers with high molecular weight .
Polymer - a chemical substance consisting of molecules characterized by the sequence of one
or more types of monomer units and comprising a simple weight majority of molecules
containing at least 3 monomer units which are covalently bound to at least one other
monomer unit or other reactant and which consists of less than a simple weight majority of
molecules of the same molecular weight. Such molecules must be distributed over a
range of molecular weights wherein differences in the molecular weight are primarily
attributable to differences in the number of monomer units.

Not all polymers can be manufactured due to environmental concerns. Some Polymers are
exempted and can be produced. Polypropylene is one such polymer which is exempted and it
can be manufactured and does not have any restrictions.

Cationic polymers and those polymers which are reasonably anticipated to

become cationic in the natural aquatic environment are excluded from the
exemption and may not be manufactured under it. The principal concern is the
toxicity toward aquatic organisms.

Besides plastics production, plastics engineering is an important part of the industrial sector.
The latter field is dominated by engineering plastic as raw material because of its better
mechanical and thermal properties than the more widely used commodity plastics.

Engineering plastics are a group of plastic materials that have better mechanical and/or
thermal properties than the more widely used commodity plastics (such as polystyrene, PVC,
polypropylene and polyethylene). Being more expensive, engineering plastics are produced in
lower quantities and tend to be used for smaller objects or low-volume applications (such as
mechanical parts), rather than for bulk and high-volume ends (like containers and packaging).
The term usually refers to thermoplastic materials rather than thermosetting ones. Examples
of engineering plastics include acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), used for car bumpers,
dashboard trim and Lego bricks; polycarbonates, used in motorcycle helmets; and polyamides
(nylons), used for skis and ski boots. Engineering plastics have gradually replaced traditional
engineering materials such as wood or metal in many applications. Besides equalling or
surpassing them in weight/strength and other properties, engineering plastics are much easier
to manufacture, especially in complicated shapes.
Commodity plastics are plastics that are used in high volume and wide range of applications,
such as film for packaging, photographic and magnetic tape, clothing, beverage and trash
containers and a variety of household products where mechanical properties and service
environments are not critical. Such plastics exhibit relatively low mechanical properties and
are of low cost. The range of products includes Plates, Cups, Carrying Trays, Medical Trays,
Containers, Seeding Trays, Printed Material and other disposable items. Examples of
commodity plastics are polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride,
poly(methyl methacrylate) and more.

POLYMER INDUSTRY’S MARKET IN INDIA:

India still will import over 3 MMT of Polymers in 2016. Polymer industry is an integral part
of mega petrochemical industry. Crude oil is a key raw material for polymers ; profitability of
the industry has been hit due to rise in International crude oil prices. Naphtha is the principal
feed stock for polymers in India. Rising naphtha prices have driven the polymer prices
upwards. The domestic polymer industry is dominated by Polyolefin’s. Indian Polyolefin
Industry market is dominated by four manufacturers HPL, IOCL, RIL, GAIL. Indian
manufacturers have real time opportunities to expand.

Plastindia Foundation is an apex body of plastics industry founded by major associations,

organisations and institutions of plastics industry of India, it is also supported by Ministry of
Chemicals and Fertilizers, Government of India connected with plastics. Plastindia Exhibition
and Conference is held every three years. It is usually organized in the first or second week of
February.

Plastindia Foundation's objective is to promote the development of plastic industry and to

assist the growth of plastic and related products. The Foundation aims at national progress
through plastics. The Foundation focuses on helping India to become the proffered sourcing
base of plastic products around the world and also concentrates on facilitating the export led
growth of the Indian plastic industry. It also helps boost export business volumes and
revenues.

FUNCTIONS OF VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS

2.1 PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT:

The production department is the busiest department of the company because according to
the orders the department would keep on producing the products.

RAW MATERIALS USED:

The raw material used for the production of the products is the Polypropylene granules (PP
granules). We get the raw materials from the Reliance polymers which is a well known name
in the polymer industry.

Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide

variety of applications. It is produced via chain-growth polymerization from the monomer
propylene. Polypropylene belongs to the group of polyolefins and is partially crystalline and
non-polar. Its properties are similar to polyethylene, but it is slightly harder and more heat
resistant. It is a white, mechanically rugged material and has a high chemical resistance.
Polypropylene is the second-most widely produced commodity plastic (after polyethylene)
and it is often used in packaging and labeling.

Polypropylene is in many aspects similar to polyethylene, especially in solution behaviour

and electrical properties. The methyl group improves mechanical properties and thermal
resistance, although the chemical resistance decreases. The properties of polypropylene
depend on the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution, crystallinity, type and
proportion of comonomer (if used) and the isotacticity. In isotactic polypropylene, for
example, the methyl groups are oriented on one side of the carbon backbone. This
arrangement creates a greater degree of crystallinity and results in a stiffer material that is
more resistant to creep than both atactic polypropylene and polyethylene.
Polypropylene is recyclable and has the number "5" as its resin identification code. The
advocacy organization Environmental Working Group classifies PP as of low to moderate
hazard. PP is dope-dyed; no water is used in its dyeing, in contrast with cotton. Like all
organic compounds, polypropylene is combustible. The flash point of a typical composition is
260°C; auto ignition temperature is 388°C.

Traditionally, three manufacturing processes are the most representative ways to produce
polypropylene.

Hydrocarbon slurry or suspension: Uses a liquid inert hydrocarbon diluent in the reactor to
facilitate transfer of propylene to the catalyst, the removal of heat from the system, the
deactivation/removal of the catalyst as well as dissolving the atactic polymer. The range of
grades that could be produced was very limited. (The technology has fallen into disuse).

Bulk slurry (or bulk): Uses liquid propylene instead of liquid inert hydrocarbon diluent. The
polymer does not dissolve into a diluent, but rather rides on the liquid propylene. The formed
polymer is withdrawn and any unreacted monomer is flashed off.

Gas phase: Uses gaseous propylene in contact with the solid catalyst, resulting in a fluidized-
bed medium.

These are some of the methods implied by the Reliance industries to produce PP granules.
We purchase the PP granules from them in the form of sack.
 - Weight of 1 sack = 25kg
- Cost of 1 sack =Rs.2800 (Would vary accordingly)

Purchasing would be done according to the number of kilograms needed for production. So,
ordering of raw material would be done in the form of kilograms and according to the number
of kilograms ordered the sacks would be sent to the company. The delivery of the raw
material would be done by the Reliance polymers itself.

SECTIONS IN THE PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT:

There are three sections in the production department and they are as follows:

- Extrusion section

- Cutting and Sealing section

- Packing section

These are the sections available in the production department. Each sections have different
processes and work going on in them.
EXTRUSION SECTION:

PROCESS: Extrusion process

MACHINERY USED: Extrudor machine

EXTRUSION PROCESS:

Plastics extrusion is a high-volume manufacturing process in which raw plastic is melted and
formed into a continuous profile. Extrusion produces items such as pipe/tubing, weather
stripping, fencing, deck railings, window frames, plastic films and sheeting, thermoplastic
coatings, and wire insulation.

This process starts by feeding plastic material (pellets, granules, flakes or powders) from a
hopper into the barrel of the extruder. The material is gradually melted by the mechanical
energy generated by turning screws and by heaters arranged along the barrel. The molten
polymer is then forced into a die, which shapes the polymer into a shape that hardens during
cooling.

In our case the granules are fed into the machinery to obtain the PP rolls.

In the extrusion of plastics, the raw compound material is commonly in the form of nurdles
(small beads, often called resin) that are gravity fed from a top mounted hopper into the
barrel of the extruder. Additives such as colorants and UV inhibitors (in either liquid or pellet
form) are often used and can be mixed into the resin prior to arriving at the hopper. The
process has much in common with plastic injection molding from the point of the extruder
technology, although it differs in that it is usually a continuous process. While pultrusion can
offer many similar profiles in continuous lengths, usually with added reinforcing, this is
achieved by pulling the finished product out of a die instead of extruding the polymer melt
through a die.

The material enters through the feed throat (an opening near the rear of the barrel) and comes
into contact with the screw. The rotating screw (normally turning at e.g. 120 rpm) forces the
plastic beads forward into the heated barrel. The desired extrusion temperature is rarely equal
to the set temperature of the barrel due to viscous heating and other effects. In most
processes, a heating profile is set for the barrel in which three or more independent PID-
controlled heater zones gradually increase the temperature of the barrel from the rear (where
the plastic enters) to the front. This allows the plastic beads to melt gradually as they are
pushed through the barrel and lowers the risk of overheating which may cause degradation in
the polymer.

Extra heat is contributed by the intense pressure and friction taking place inside the barrel. In
fact, if an extrusion line is running certain materials fast enough, the heaters can be shut off
and the melt temperature maintained by pressure and friction alone inside the barrel. In most
extruders, cooling fans are present to keep the temperature below a set value if too much heat
is generated. If forced air cooling proves insufficient then cast-in cooling jackets are
employed.

Plastic extruder cut in half to show the components

At the front of the barrel, the molten plastic leaves the screw and travels through a screen
pack to remove any contaminants in the melt. The screens are reinforced by a breaker plate (a
thick metal puck with many holes drilled through it) since the pressure at this point can
exceed 5,000 psi (34 MPa). The screen pack/breaker plate assembly also serves to create back
pressure in the barrel. Back pressure is required for uniform melting and proper mixing of the
polymer, and how much pressure is generated can be "tweaked" by varying screen pack
composition (the number of screens, their wire weave size, and other parameters). This
breaker plate and screen pack combination also eliminates the "rotational memory" of the
molten plastic and creates instead, "longitudinal memory".
After passing through the breaker plate molten plastic enters the die. The die is what gives the
final product its profile and must be designed so that the molten plastic evenly flows from a
cylindrical profile, to the product's profile shape. Uneven flow at this stage can produce a
product with unwanted residual stresses at certain points in the profile which can cause
warping upon cooling. A wide variety of shapes can be created, restricted to continuous
profiles.

The product must now be cooled and this is usually achieved by pulling the extrudate through
a water bath. Plastics are very good thermal insulators and are therefore difficult to cool
quickly. Compared to steel, plastic conducts its heat away 2,000 times more slowly. In a tube
or pipe extrusion line, a sealed water bath is acted upon by a carefully controlled vacuum to
keep the newly formed and still molten tube or pipe from collapsing. For products such as
plastic sheeting, the cooling is achieved by pulling through a set of cooling rolls. For films
and very thin sheeting, air cooling can be effective as an initial cooling stage, as in blown
film extrusion.

Plastic extruders are also extensively used to reprocess recycled plastic waste or other raw
materials after cleaning, sorting and/or blending. This material is commonly extruded into
filaments suitable for chopping into the bead or pellet stock to use as a precursor for further
processing.

There two types of extrusion processes being followed in the section to produce PP rolls and
sheets and they are as follows;

- Blown film extrusion

- Sheet or film extrusion

BLOWN FILM EXTRUSION:

The manufacture of plastic film for products such as shopping bags and continuous sheeting
is achieved using a blown film line.

This process is the same as a regular extrusion process up until the die. There are three main
types of dies used in this process: annular (or crosshead), spider, and spiral. Annular dies are
the simplest, and rely on the polymer melt channeling around the entire cross section of the
die before exiting the die; this can result in uneven flow. Spider dies consist of a central
mandrel attached to the outer die ring via a number of "legs"; while flow is more symmetrical
than in annular dies, a number of weld lines are produced which weaken the film. Spiral dies
remove the issue of weld lines and asymmetrical flow, but are by far the most complex.

The melt is cooled somewhat before leaving the die to yield a weak semi-solid tube. This
tube's diameter is rapidly expanded via air pressure, and the tube is drawn upwards with
rollers, stretching the plastic in both the transverse and draw directions. The drawing and
blowing cause the film to be thinner than the extruded tube, and also preferentially aligns the
polymer molecular chains in the direction that sees the most plastic strain. If the film is drawn
more than it is blown (the final tube diameter is close to the extruded diameter) the polymer
molecules will be highly aligned with the draw direction, making a film that is strong in that
direction, but weak in the transverse direction. A film that has significantly larger diameter
than the extruded diameter will have more strength in the transverse direction, but less in the
draw direction.

In the case of polyethylene and other semi-crystalline polymers, as the film cools it
crystallizes at what is known as the frost line. As the film continues to cool, it is drawn
through several sets of nip rollers to flatten it into lay-flat tubing, which can then be spooled
or slit into two or more rolls of sheeting.
SHEET OR FILM EXTRUSION:

Sheet/film extrusion is used to extrude plastic sheets or films that are too thick to be blown.
There are two types of dies used: T-shaped and coat hanger. The purpose of these dies is to
reorient and guide the flow of polymer melt from a single round output from the extruder to a
thin, flat planar flow. In both die types ensure constant, uniform flow across the entire cross
sectional area of the die. Cooling is typically by pulling through a set of cooling rolls
(calender or "chill" rolls). In sheet extrusion, these rolls not only deliver the necessary
cooling but also determine sheet thickness and surface texture. Often co-extrusion is used to
apply one or more layers on top of a base material to obtain specific properties such as UV-
absorption, texture, oxygen permeation resistance, or energy reflection.

A common post-extrusion process for plastic sheet stock is thermoforming, where the sheet is
heated until soft (plastic), and formed via a mold into a new shape. When vacuum is used,
this is often described as vacuum forming. Orientation (i.e. ability/ available density of the
sheet to be drawn to the mold which can vary in depths from 1 to 36 inches typically) is
highly important and greatly affects forming cycle times for most plastics.

These are the two extrusion processes being followed in the company. Mostly the blown film
extrusion is the process being done because the PP rolls and PP bags are the maximum orders
being received by the company.
CUTTING AND SEALING SECTION:

This is the section where the PP rolls are cut into bags of specified sizes (The width of the
rolls are standard and the length is only of desired size). The fabric in rolls is run through an
automatic cutting machine and is cut to a specific size. This automatic process is adopted to
get better accuracy in cut size.

If the order is PP bags, only then the rolls would come to this section. If the order taken is
rolls then they would be sent to the finishing section where the rolls are packed for delivery.

The sealing machine would be used when we receive huge orders which are to be delivered
within a less period. Only during the situations like this the sealing machine is used under the
supervision of the manager. After the plastic is on a roll, it can be cut to form tubing, single-
wound sheeting, or centerfold sheeting. Most often, we transform the plastic into poly bags.
Polyethylene bags are made by heat sealing and cutting rolls of film. Rolls of tubing or
sheeting are fed through a machine that draws material out to the proper length. The machine
then cycles to place a seal on the material and then cut it off to make an individual bag. The
secret to producing high quality film is having good equipment that maintains a consistent
flow of material throughout the process.
During normal times, the sealing table is used for cutting and sealing purpose. This process is
a manual process unlike the sealing machine. In here sealing table is used for cutting and
sealing of the PP bags. The table consists of an copper wire through which a considerable
amount of electricity is passed and it also consists of a roller.

The PP rolls are attached to the roller and the worker should manually rotate the roller by
handling a lever. As the lever rotates the rolls, it would be passed through the electric wire.
The roller would be set accordingly. The length can be changed according to the orders we
receive.

The cutting and sealing would be calculated with kilograms only. So;

- 1 person could cut and seal 80 to 100 kilograms in a day

- Length of the bags would be between 4 inch to 6 inch.
- Width would be between 6 to 14 inches.

All these dimensions of the bag is decided based on the orders. Each customer would have
different dimensions according to their requirements. So, according to the requirements the
number of production batches would be decided by the manager. Each production batch
would consist of different sizes (i.e., only width in the extrusion section and the length in the
sealing & cutting section).
FINISHING SECTION:

The finishing section is the final section of the production department and from this section
the final product comes out of the company. In here the basic process happening is the
packing. The packing is done in sacks and there is a weighing machine in which the sacks are
weighed and sent out to delivery.

Another process in this section is the quality checking. The bags would be checked for any
damage. If the sealing and cutting is done manually then the product would also be checked
for accurateness wholly. Only after quality checking the products would be packed in sacks
and would be weighed.

Fom the finishing section the sacks are sent to the sales department from where the delivery
would be done.

THE FINAL PRODUCTS:

PP BAGS:
PP ROLLS:

PP SHEETS:
2.2 FINANCE DEPARTMENT:

The accountant of the finance department has the following roles and he has an assistant to
assist him. The roles of the accountant are;

- Reviewing of financial reports.

- Monitoring account
- Preparation of activity reports
- Preparation of financial forecasts
- Investigation of ways to increase the profit
- Monitoring and interpreting cash flows
- Prediction of future trends
- Analysing change and advising accordingly

The accounts are maintained manually only and no special softwares are being used.
However there is usage of excel to record the accounts and cash flow so that it would be
helpful for future references.

The following are the books are maintained by the accountant;

- Cash book and bank book

- Purchase book and sales book
- General book
- Sales analysis
- Purchase return and sales return book
- Debit & credit note
- Bills receivable & Bills payable
- Journal voucher
- Income Tax, Service Tax, R.O.C Returns.

The bankers of the Moorthy polymers are:

- State bank of India (SBI)

- Karur Vysya Bank (KVB)
2.3 SALES AND MARKETING DEPARTMENT:

MARKETING:

The marketing and sales are co-functioning in our company. Both these are the main
functions of any company. Only this department gets the output of the input being put
up in the production department of the company.

The heart of your business success lies in its marketing. Most aspects of your business
depend on successful marketing. The overall marketing umbrella covers advertising, public
relations, promotions and sales. Marketing is a process by which a product or service is
introduced and promoted to potential customers.

The marketing of Moorthy polymers was at full swing during the last decade. More number
of people were assigned to market the products of the company and once the company
attained a relative number of customers they stopped concentrating in marketing. Now the
company has loyal customers who only buy from our company.

SALES:

The head of the sales department is responsible for all the activities going on in the sales
department. The role of the sales head is to pass on the information about the orders received
to the finishing section of the production department so that, they could pack the products
accordingly for the delivery.

The sales head also manages the deliverers who deliver the products to the customers who
ordered for the products correctly. The delivery would be done by the transportation owned
by the company. Sometimes the delivery would be done through rented vehicles if the order
quantity is huge.

PRICINGS:

The pricing of the products would be done according to the existing market and the
approximate price is as mentioned;
Price of 1 kg of PP roll = Rs.95

Price of 1 kg of PP bags = Rs.125

Price of 1 kg of PP sheet = Rs.125

SALES DETAILS:

1 day sales = approx Rs.80,000

1 monthy sales = approx Rs.25,00,000

Yearly turnover = Rs.2.5cr to Rs.3cr (Varies accordingly)

The sales department maintains various books such as;

- Order entry book.

- Sales register
- Stock cards and stock register
- Invoice register
- Common order entry book
- Daily common order entry book
- Party registration book.

The main sales area of Moorthy polymers is tirupur and erode. Some the loyal customers of
the company are;

- Saradha plastics
- Puja enterprises
- Om shakthi enterprises

We also sell our products to many of the small retailers in and around our locality and also in
erode & tirupur.
2.4 HR DEPARTMENT:

The human resources department handles a range of different functions within an

organization. The department is responsible for hiring and firing employees, training workers,
maintaining interoffice relationships and interpreting employment laws. The human resources
department handles many necessary functions of your business. It is instrumental in
providing labor law compliance, record keeping, hiring and training, compensation, relational
assistance and help with handling specific performance issues.

A human resources department is a critical component of employee well-being in any

business, no matter how small. HR responsibilities include payroll, benefits, hiring, firing,
and keeping up to date with state and federal tax laws. Any mix-up concerning these issues
can cause major legal problems for your business, as well as major employee dissatisfaction.
But small businesses often don't have the staff or the budget to properly handle the nitty-
gritty details of HR. Because of this, more and more small businesses are beginning to
outsource their HR needs.

The HR department in Moorthy polymers is not very functional like the other departments
and they do not concentrate much on the HR activities of the company so, there is no need of
outsourcing of HR like mentioned above. There are two HR staffs in the company who
monitor the attendance of the employees.

The other main role of the HR staffs are payroll administration. Payroll administration,
including produce checks, handling taxes, and dealing with sick time and vacation time. In
our company the payroll administration includes only providing of wages and salaries to the
employees.

Once in while the company would attain a bulk order like once in a year or twice in a year.
During those times the company would make use of their spare machines for production but
there would be shortage of workmen. The HR staffs would incur workers from outside of the
company to manage the orders.
 CHAPTER III
PROBLEMS AND ISSUES IN THE ORGANISATION

LACK OF PLANNING

Planning is very important before implementing anything. It needs collaboration and input
from all the employees. They fail to get feedback from their own workers on the allocation of
work and it ultimately results in heavy workloads that will slow productivity.

UNCERTAINTY

Uncertainty is a big challenge that has to be borne by the manufacturing company. Changing
demand and customer preferences is big problem in this company. Sometimes, natural
calamities might also affect the company’s manufacturing process.

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

Even if the employees are getting regular training. Upcoming new technology and
advancements is a hindrance in this company. Insufficient knowledge on the part of staffs on
the technical advancements is a big problem faced by the employees and also by the
management.
 CHAPTER IV
SWOT ANALYSIS

4.1 STRENGTH:

The orders taken are delivered correctly and within the time limit. Once the company gets the
order it would focus on producing the product with quality and it is made sure the customer
gets the ordered product within the time they have specified.

This is one of the reasons the company is having loyal customers for along period of time
despite there are many other competitions in the market.

Some other strengths are;

- Availability of low cost labor
- Strong supporting industry
- Widespread usage of our products in the market

4.2 WEAKNESS:

The main weakness of the company is that the company is not providing any safety measures
for the employees. The situation in the company is that the workers in the company should
work at their own risk.

The company could build their image in the industry by increasing their market area apart
from their existing ones but they are not ready to do it.

4.3 OPPORTUNITIES:

The automotive sector in the polymer industry is highly increasing. The company could
incorporate the automotives to pave their way for efficient production.

More customers can be added to the company by marketing. The company should
concentrate some more on marketing.
4.3 THREATS:

Plastic ban is a slight threat to the company as it is not likely to be imposed in our state now.
Moreover the polypropylene products are recyclable and it is upto the peoples perception
about the polypropylene products.

Some other threats to the company are as follows;

- Bad economy
- Government regulations
- High competition
- Substitute products

CHAPTER V
OBSERVATIONS

 Since it is a certified company their manufacturing methods are according to the

norms and regulations.
 Meeting challenges
 Way of approaching customers
 Time management
 Functioning of the machines and its operations
 Handling situations
 CHAPTER VI
