Organisation study comprise different aspects of the organisation. Whenever people interact in
the organisation, many factors come into play. Modern organisation studies attempt to
understand and model these factors.

The study was carried out at O/E/N India Ltd Vettickal, is a market leader in electro
mechanical components like relays, switches, firmer, potentiometer etc. facilities are located
in the suburbs of Cochin, Bangalore, and Pune with 20000 sq. ft. Factory space. Its products
find application in communication, automotive, strategic industrial control, consumer
electronics etc..

During my study at O/E/N India Ltd Vettickal, helps to familiarize the functions of an

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Consumer electronics play a crucial role in the modern world. Today people around us
are more often associated with electronic equipment’s in their daily life. Most of the day to day
usage products like household items, devices for entertainments, medical equipment’s,
defence, safety, security systems etc.., are all included in the electronic industry.

Our country has reached a position of developing nation or been a part of other country
welfare due to the tremendous growth in the consumer electronics thus the role of the consumer
electronics in the field all over the nation or world is tremendously high.

It plays a vital role in the life of the people consumer electronics in the Indian electronic
industry accounts of 40% electronics hardware products and with the Indian electronic
companies going the manufacturing base is on a steady rise. Electronic industry is currently
worth $10 billion but according to estimates has the potential to reach $60 billion by 2015.

Global scenario

The science and engineering of electronics are less than 100 years old. Developments
in electronics have been very fast, particularly over the past three decades and the industrial
and commercial applications have fortunately kept place with their developments. Global
communications of information, digital computers, data processing at incredible speed, robots,
controls of machines, process and energy etc. are all gifts of electronics.

Indian scenario

Numerous issues confront the Indian electronics industry at the threshold of the new
millennium. Dentine of this, the electronic industry grew remarkably over the last decade and
half.

In terms of potential India is the second largest market for electronics in the world.
Taking the entire market, consumer electronics holds about 40% share and the rest 60% with
electronic hardware production. In Indian scenario upto 1980s the electronic industry had
grown around three major centres namely Mumbai, Pune and Delhi. Now the trend is that south
Indian cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai seems to be rising past north Indian
regions in struggle to become next power house country. The principal strength is south India
for the growth of electronic industry is the abundant availability of skilled and technically

6
qualified manpower, government interest in this area, supporting work culture, scope for
international trade etc.

State scenario

In electronic industry when o/e/n takes state wise contributions, Karnataka occupies
first space and Kerala comes to the sixth place. From this the role played by the Kerala in
electronic market is not bad.

The prime reasons are, Kerala has a good marketing base, good trading centre, free
environment, notified industrial estate, state government derived in their field and moreover
good place for import and export.

Future of electronics

The area of electronics is expanding at the rapid pace and electronic equipment’s have
become indispensable to 50 modern living. Growth in electronics has been phenomenal and
these in turn have changed lifestyle of people. The case precision, sophistication and flexibility
provided by the electronics in all kinds of modern system such as communication, computer,
control, automation and entertainment has made it very important subject of study for engineers
of all specifications. The world of electronics is now going through digital revolutions.

Trends in technology:

➢ Electro mechanical relays

➢ Miniaturized relays
➢ Mass production
➢ Automated product line

Trends in market:

➢ Increased demand for relays

➢ Average industry growth of 15%
