Quarrying is the process of collecting stones from the natural rock surfaces. Site selection and
methods used for quarrying for construction works is discussed. Quarrying of stone is completely
different from mine. Mine belongs to underground operation only whereas quarry is carried out on
exposed surface of natural rocks.
The English word “quarry” comes from the Latin quarrariae , after Carrara , the region in northern Italy where
quarries were established by the Romans about 173 B.C. Carrara is the most active center and a number o thr
quarries used by Romans are rediscovered . The Parthenon of Greece, the pyramids of Mayans ,the Aztecs,
and the Egyptians and many more were remnants of the past attest of the popularity, the permanence ,the
beauty, and the antiquity of stone as a construction product. The early methods of quarrying were used almost
without alteration until gunpowder was introduced into Europe in course of the 14th century. Later there was
quarrying done in different types and things as in there were quarries for limestone, marble construction raw
materials and many more. Slowly the business in quarries started increasing.
Industry Details
Stone Quarrying in India is an important Industry in the region, wherever they are located. The industry has its
own characteristics and associated complex socio–economic–political issues. For example quarries in Andhra
Pradesh in some way may be impacted by the presence of the Naxalite1 movement in the region. Many of
these regions are known for lower socioeconomic conditions and extreme poverty. The Quarry Industry
provides employment on a large scale. Quarries are often owned and managed by politically influential
individuals. Quarries are taken on lease from the Government and the lease ownership of the quarry is almost
a monopoly business in many regions. Quarry owners are known as Lease holders. Lease holders pay royalty
to the Government with agreed terms and conditions. The Lease Agreement with the Government is an
important document. The size of the quarry varies from place to place. The majority of the work force is from
the lower castes, mainly from Scheduled Tribe Communities.
Company Details
Galaxy Stone Industry is slowly growing successful. The company provides services in Surat, Navsari, Vapi,
and Valsad.
History of Organisation
Established in the year 1989,in Chikhli, Navsari. At first there just the piece of land, later these land was
examined and then it was found to be perfect location for quarrying. So, then the digging process of land was
started and later after digging the land till 10 meter then the big stones were generated. In the starting period
of the establishment these big stones were then hammered into small stones by the labours and were used in
construction of dams, roads,etc. Later,in 2000 , the company bought JCBs which made the work of labours
little easy and in 2006, there were involvement of new technologies. Different machines for making kapchi,
grit, powder and rubble were adopted. Then as the finance started increasing the company bought trucks for
transporting the material. The company also started to supply the raw materials to construction of building.
They intent to develop quality partnerships with their employees, suppliers, customers and the community in
which they operate.

Details of competitors
The area where the company is located that is in Chikhli, Navsari; there are many quarries manufacturing
similar products so there is much competition.
Features of product
Durability : Under many conditions the most important qualification is durability. The lack of it is
also the most seriously disappointing quality. Rocks which have remained hard and tough for
unnumbered ages while covered by earth from air and frost, will disintegrate after a comparatively few
years' exposure.Rain water which has absorbed carbonic acid from the atmosphere will soak into the
stone, and the acid will have a greater or less effect on nearly all stones. Quartz is the only constituent
which is absolutely unaffected by acid. The sulphuric-acid gas given off by coal will also affect
building stone very seriously. Hardness. The durability of a stone is tested by its resistance to abrasive
action in pavements, door-sills, and similar cases. The value of trap rock for macadam and block
pavements is chieflydue to this quality.
Strength : In some structural work (as, for example, an arch) the crushing strength of the stone is the
primary consideration. The average crushing strength of various kinds of stone will be quoted later.
The tensile strength should never be depended on, except to a very limited extent as a function of the
transverse strength. Even this is only applicable to such cases as the lintels over doors and windows,
the footing stones for foundations, and the cover stones for box culverts. It is usually true that a stone
which is free from cracks and which has a high crushing strength also, has as much transverse strength
as should be required of any stone.
Appearance : It is seldom that an engineer need concern himself with the appearance of a stone,
provided it is satisfactory in the respects previously mentioned. The presence of iron oxide in a stone
will sometimes cause a deterioration in appearance by the formation of a reddish stain on the outer
surface. It usually happens, however, that a stone whose strength and durability are satisfactory will
have a sufficiently good appearance, unless in high-grade architectural work, where it is considered
essential that a certain colour or appearance shall be obtained.
Customer segmentation
Two broad groups of variables are used to segment consumer market, some researchers try to form
segments by looking at descriptive characteristic, then they examine whether this customer segment
exhibit different needs of product responses.
Customer segmentation strategies are the key to balancing the delivery of an optimal customer
experience with the need to maximize long-term customer revenue and loyalty.
Target Market
Once the firm has identified market segment opportunities, they have to decide how many and which
one to target.
Marketers constantly try to combining several variables in an effort to identify smaller better define
target groups
Galaxy Stone Industry’s target market is in India and its largest target market is in Gujarat.
Positioning
There is vast difference in the level of its business from where it started ,there is a positive result.
Because of the following reasons Galaxy Stone Industry is today;
Galaxy Stone Industry takes into consideration even smallest feature as per client requirement and then
does manufacturing.
Galaxy Stone Industry holds business ethics where Customer is the centre of companies business.
Galaxy Stone Industry holds client-specific requirement which are controllable at manufacturing level.
Galaxy Stone Industry has the ability to pass on efficiency of scale to every clients.
DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
The company has one office and its manufacturing unit near Navsari. There is an easy distribution channel
that is, the manufacturer directly supplies to the customers. The company performs online selling as well as
through communication channel, where the staff appointed receives the order and then this information
directly goes to the production manger and then he transports the order to the customer.
PHILOSOPHY OF MARKETING
Among the 5 marketing concept that is Production, Product, Marketing, Selling and Social marketing concept
the company prefers Product concept. customers prefer products of ‘greater quality’ and ‘price and
availability’ doesn’t influence their purchase decision. Hence the company devotes most of its time in
developing a product of greater quality which usually turns out to be expensive.
Since the main focus of the marketers is the product quality, they often lose or fail to appeal to customers
whose demands are driven by other factors like price, availability, usability, etc.
External Factor
Economic Environment: The economic environment indirectly affect the sale of the product,when the
economic condition is stable, more number of people purchase the product so that there would be
automatic increase in the demand and vice versa. According to the economical environment we have
to make some changes in the marketing strategy.
Technological Environment : If new machinery is being introduce and was accepted by all the
competitors and customers so at that time we have to purchase that machinery to cope up with the
competitor.
Political Environment : Changes in the government rule and regulation and the government policy also
influence the marketing decision of the company.
Nature Environment : As we know that we get the rough stones from the mines so here nature plays an
important role in the production of various types of stones, if there will be shortage of the rough stones
in future or present condition we have to make some changes in the marketing decision.
Demographic Forces: Here, the marketer monitor the population because people forms markets.
Marketers are keenly interested in the size and growth rate of population in different cities, regions,
and nations; age distribution and ethnic mix; educational levels; households patterns; and regional
characteristics and movements.
Internal Factor
Customers : The number of customers also influence the marketing decision.
Competitors : As we know that the marketing strategy of one company is mostly influenced by the
marketing strategy of other company.
Organizational environment : the interdepartmental relation and how they are interrelated with each
other. Directly or indirectly influence the marketing decision.
Manufacturing : It is responsible for producing the desired quality and quantity of products. Factors
which influence the competitiveness of a firm are production capacity technology and efficiency of the
productive apparatus, distribution logistics etc.,
Company Image and Brand Equity : The image of the company refers in raising finance, forming joint
ventures or other alliances soliciting marketing intermediaries, entering purchase or sales contract,
launching new products etc.
Finance and Accounting: Accounting refers to measure of revenue and costs to help the marketing and
to know how well it is achieving its objectives. Finance refers to funding and using funds to carry out
the marketing plan. Financial factors are financial policies, financial position and capital structure.

MARKETING STRATEGY
2. Organization has to improve the quality of the product or add new feature .
4. Organization has to start the effort to build the trust of the customer.
Step 1: In this step the company makes the sample products so that the customers can check the quality of the
company’s product.
Step 2: After preparing the sample line, this samples are being shown to the marketing representative.
Marketing representative has authority to accept or reject the samples.
Step 3: After the decision of authority, if the sample is accepted then the manufacturing is done.
Step 4: Then the customer gives the information about the quantity of those samples
Step 5: Then the company delivers the order to the customer and get the payment.
1. PRICE
Price is the amount the consumer must exchange to receive the offering . The company’s goal in
terms of price is really to reduce costs through improving manufacturing and efficiency, and most
importantly the marketer needs to increase the perceived value of the benefits of its products and
services to the buyer or consumer.The company have 15 – 20 % margin on manufacturing cost. Price
will change according feature of diamond.
2. PLACE
Place includes company activities that make the product available to target consumers. Place is also
known as channel, distribution, or intermediary. It is the mechanism through which goods and/or
services are moved from the manufacturer/ service provider to the user or consumer. The company sales
its products in more than one place and due to these many consumers are aware of the product.
3. PRODUCT
Product means the goods-and-services combination the company offers to the target market.The
company manufactures many products liker kapchi,grit,powder,etc andf in it theye are categorized by
it’s various sizes.
4. PROMOTION
Promotion includes all of the activities marketers undertake to inform consumers about their
products and to encourage potential customers to buy these products.The company promotes its
products through giving advertisements in local newspaper.The company gives few promotional offers
like discounts.
PRICING POLICIES
Galaxy Stone Industry has no fix price of polished diamond. They have 15 – 20 % margin on
manufacturing cost. Price will change according to the tonnes. The factor affecting pricing policy is as
follow:
Weight
Quality
Availability of technology
Business fluctuation
Size
2. If customer is regular.
The whole sales department works according to the order of sales head. Each and every employee reports to
the sales head. The sales heads in turn is accountable to general manager or managing director. A well defines
communication system is incorporated which makes communication, reporting and this controlling is very
effective in this company.
Each sales representative needs to report his sales activity to his supervisor. The supervise takes corrective
steps if there is any deviation. Sales department has to take care of aspect such as sales, marketing, promotion
and reporting.
Following are some examples of the reports used by the marketing department.
1. Invoice
2. Challan
3. Shipping bill

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT
Chairman
MD MD

Worker

Most of the materials used by the organisation are the raw stones. And these raw stones the basic material
required. And these raw materials are removed through mining.
Master Production Schedule is prepared by top level management and is considered on the basis of sales.
Once the master production schedule is prepared, requirement of material as per the bill of material and MPS
is sent to the purchase manager.
Purchase Manager uses the Inventory File to decide whether any material is to be purchased or not.
From these Production plan and material requirement planning Galaxy Stone Industry prepares Capacity
Requirement planning. CRP is the stage where Galaxy Stone Industry tries to measure the capacity of Labor and
capacity of the machine.
Therefore there are two types of CRP:
A. Labor Capacity
B. Machine Capacity
A. Labor capacity:
Generally there is no need to measure labor capacity for Galaxy Stone Industry because the company is situated
at such an area where there are enough no of skilled workers and company itself has good no of workers and can
hire casual labor as a when required.
B. Machine Capacity:
It is quite obvious that the company cannot purchase these bruting in large order because these machines are
quite costly the company will purchase it only after considering many factors including the placement of the
machine and the job work from the machine.
Galaxy Stone Industry does Capacity Requirement Planning on the basis of Capital Budget and various others
constrains.
Following are the factors that are affecting the plant location selection
I. Availability of electricity
There would be a no night shift in the company as the production is not done 24/7 but if there is not proper
electricity then that would affect in the production. But in the area where firm is located there is good electricity
facilities.
IV. Competition
There are many competitors nearby the area and sometimes theses affects the sales of product but there are the
regular customers so the factor goes from the side and affect as little to the firm.
V. Cost of land
Cost of land is pretty much higher than the other area but it can be a good investment option for the company.

Conveyer belt: though this the stones are passed to another machine.
JCB : they are used to carry raw stones and transport to crusher and the trucks.
Material Handler Fuchs MHL360 Pylon-mounted machine : they are used in lifting of stone.
Aggregates are unique due to the fact that when you manufacture a certain size or quality, you yield a high
percentage of other size fractions or qualities. This often leads to an imbalance of stock levels. Like any
business, many stakeholders need to know the amount of stock on hand.
With the advent of drones, measuring stockpiles has become more cost and time efficient. However, knowing
the volumes of aggregates in the past doesn’t allow a producer to effectively manage production and sales in
the future. This is extremely important as stock imbalances in aggregates take months, or years to correct.
Get to each mine site on a monthly basis and fly each one to build an inventory list for each site to know how
much we actually have in stock each month, and compare to past months to see how inventory is trending and
couple with sales numbers to inform our production schedules.
ABC analysis
In Galaxy Stone Industry, we can consider raw stone as an A class inventory, which has 60-70% value of total
inventory.
B class refers to item which cost 30-40% and total item are 30-40%.
Vital item
It is an item without the production process will be stop. In this industry vital item is raw stones. Without raw
stones production will instantly stop.
Essential item
This is the item with the production process will be run smoothly. Crusher and other few machinery are
essential items to run a production process smoothly.
Desirable item
The items like oil, grease, etc. are comes under vital items.
Weight machine, stationary, grease, chemical, computer stationary, machinery spare parts, etc.
2. Stock Register
As there is a computer based system for recording this transaction, these records are kept on daily bases.
As the raw materials are extracted from mines itself so the organisation does not buy raw materials and due to
this the company does not have any material receipts and any material issues. And there is no purchase
procedure.
As the production would stop if the machinery are not working properly, so the company gives more attention
to maintenance of the machinery. The machineries are checked at every 15 days irrespective of any problem
in the machinery.
So problem can be avoided before it arises. If in case, the machine suddenly stopped, the machinery is
repaired at work place by the expert of that machine. As most of the activities are connected with computer,
the company has an expert IT person to handle the problems related with computer.
In this department more workers are involved and the raw stones are extracted by using blasting method.
These blasting are done thrice a day. And in the rest of the time period is utilized in transporting those raw
material to the crushers.
Crusher department
In this department the raw material received are put in the pit in the crusher and then there is automatic
machinery, the raw big stone are turned into small stones or power. These machines stays ideal for 2 hours as
the process is fast and in these time workers are utilized in filling these finished goods to trucks.
Transporting department
In these after the finished goods are made the goods are filling in the trucks through conveyer belt and
sometimes when there is stock of finish goods then the JCB and other lifting machines are used to transfer
finish goods to trucks.
There are various machines in the company so, the company has to keep records of each machine. The
machine operator records in the register which includes date and time, quantity, weight, lot no., remark etc.
When the lot of stones send to other department, the department which issue the material, the copy of this
records are given to the department which contain information like department from where material is come
to process, to which department, date, remark, number of lots, etc.
Galaxy Stone Industry give more important to quality than quantity. Galaxy Stone Industry designed good quality
management system. To achieve this quality objective Company provides all the facility to its employees to keep
and maintain quality level. It purchase best kind of rough from foreign market, it has high quality machineries, and
recruit the well experienced staff. Company has designed very good quality control system.
In the company quality control is done at each stage of production that is raw stones and finished product.
1. Raw stones/material
When the raw material is extracted from mines then the quality is checked by taking few samples. If
the raw material is not good then the finish good will also be not in good quality.
2. Finished goods
The finished products are checked properly quality wise, of each product line.
Many computerized documents are generated for the ensuring the quality of raw material and finished goods. The
ISO 9001 is used to set standards to the company’s products.

CAPITAL BUDGETING
Capital budgeting decisions pertain to fixed/long-term assets which by definition refer to assets which are in
operation, involve a current outlay or series of outlays of cash resources in return for an anticipated flow of
future benefits.
The organisation do short term future budget planning. Sometimes they do capital budgeting for following
reasons:
The capital investment could be benefited to the company, for example, the company could achieve
more benefit than the cost, which incurred in the form of cash.
COSTING METHOD
The company uses Standard Costing method. When the costs are predetermined on certain standards in a
given set of operating conditions, it is called standard costing. The term ‘standard cost’ can be defined as the
expected cost per unit which is measured in tons of the products produced during a period, which is based on
various factors. It aims at measuring the performance, controlling the deviations, inventory valuation and
deciding the selling price of the product especially when quotations are prepared.
COST STRUCTURE
Variable costs. Direct materials, commissions, production supplies, piece rate wages
Here we can classify the cost of final product of Shah Brothers Diamonds Pvt Ltd. in three categories.

One of the most important areas in the day to day management of the firm is the management of working
capital. Working capital refers to the fund invested in current assets, i.e. Investment in stocks, sundry debtors,
cash and other current assets. Current assets are essential to use fixed asset profitability. For example, a
machine cannot be used without raw material. The investment on the purchase of raw material is identified as
working capital.

A manufacturer's operating cycle is amount of time required for the manufacturer's cash to be used to:
Galaxy Stone Industry’ operating cycle is negative, meaning the firm is getting paid by their customers long
before they ever pay their suppliers.
Internal audit policy is important for any industry. It helps the management to know where the company
stands. It also helps the company to know its financial position, meaning they are earning profit or incurring
loss.
ACCOUNTING POLICY
METHOD OF ACCOUNTING
Galaxy Stone Industry follows mercantile systems of accounting as mentioned in the company’s act, 1956.
GENERAL
These accounts are prepared on the historical cost basis and on the accounting principal of a going concern.
Accounting Policies not specifically referred to otherwise are in consonance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
Expenses and incomes, not specifically referred to otherwise, considered payable and receivables respectively
are accounted for on accrual basis.
FIXED ASSETS:
Fixed Assets are stated at cost of acquisition including expenses incidental to the acquisition less accumulated
depreciation thereon.
DEPRECIATION:
Depreciation on fixed assets has been provided on Written down value method as per section 205 (2) (b) of
the companies Act, 1956 at the rates and in the manner specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act,
1956.
AMORTISATION OF EXPENDITURE:
Preliminary Expenses are amortized over a period of 10 years as per the provision of Sec. 35 D of the l.T. Act
1961.
INCOME TAX:
Tax expenses for the year, comprising current tax and deferred tax are not included in determining the net

operating loss carry forwards.
They also check the data properly and try to rectify the errors and take corrective actions.
Check cash and bank balance.
The cost of finished products largely depends upon the price charged for raw materials issued to the job.
Galaxy Stone Industry uses FIFO (first in first out) method.
1) Manufacturing Machine:-On manufacturing machine around 25% depreciation is charged and they use
straight line method for calculating its depreciation.
2) Computer :- On the computer they calculate depreciation at the rate of 20% and they use written down
method.
RATIO ANALYSIS
Current Ratio
The current ratio is used to measure a company’s short-term liquidity position and provides a quantitative
relationship between current assets (CA) and current liabilities (CL).
Current ratio = Current Assets
Current Liabilities
Current Assets Current Liabilities Current Ratio
Year
2017 6.61 5.53 = 1.20 : 1
2018 20.21 6.64 = 3.04 : 1
Interpretation:-
Current ratio of 2017 ratio 1.20:1 is less than ideal ratio 2:1, but current assets are enough to cover the value
of current liabilities. Analyzing ratio of 2018,3.04:1 is much higher than the ideal ratio, could indicate the
company can cover its current liabilities three times, it may indicate that it's not using its current assets
efficiently, is not securing financing very well, or is not managing its working capital.
Quick Ratio
The formula for acid test ratio is a measure of liquidity which is calculated by dividing the summation of
the most liquid assets like cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities or short-term investments and
current accounts receivables by the total current liabilities. The ratio is also known as a Quick Ratio.
Quick Ratio = Total Current Assets - Inventory = Quick Assets
Total Current Liabilities Total Current Liabilities
Quick assets = Current Assets - Inventory
2017 = 6.61 – 1.28
= 5.33
2018 = 20.21 – 1.26
= 18.95
Year Quick Assets Total Current Liabilities Quick Ratio
2017 5.33 5.53 0.96
2018 18.95 6.64 2.85
Interpretation:-
In 2017, the company had less then 1:1 i.e; 0.96:1 and so the do not have enough liquid assets to pay their
current liabilities and should be treated with caution. While in 2018, it was 2.85:1 and is financially sound.
Proprietary Ratio
This ratio shows the long term or future solvency of the business.
Interpretation:- The Company holds a proprietary ratio close to 1 which implies that much of the company’s assets
are funded through shareholders fund. Very less amount of debt is taken. Company has good financial stability.
Interpretation:- the net profit ratio should be minimum 15 to 20 %, so 2017 the ratio was needed to be
improved and in 2018 the company improved and reached to 39.3 %.
Interpretation:- In 2017 the ratio was greater than 2018. A high receivables turnover is desirable and
indicates that the company’s collection of accounts receivable is efficient.
Interpretation :- In both the scenario it has been seen that the customers gives late payment.
Interpretation :-these ratios are less than one. It means that creditors’s obligations have not been used to
acquire a part of the fixed assets.
Interpretation:- These ratio imply greater claim of owners than creditors. The was found to be decreased in
2018 to 0.10:1.
Interpretation :- if we find that the asset turnover ratio calculation is 0.79; that means net sales are 79% of
the average total assets and if 0.70 times then net sale are 70%.

The chain of command and each department head has control over their departments. The self-contained
department structure can be seen as its main characteristic. Independent decisions can be taken by line officers
because of its unified structure.
The main advantage of a line organizational structure can be identified as the effective communication that
brings stability to the organization.

b. Divisional departmentation:
Divisional structures are created on the basis of smaller divisions where each division has its own
functional activities.
There are many different types of departmentation on different basis like Product departmentation,
process departmentation, customer departmentation, geographic or territory departmentation,
departmentation by time, departmentation by size and departmentation by task force.
But Galaxy Stone Industry uses process departmentation as there as 4-5 types of product produced but the
steps are similar in manufacturing all products. Just the one step is different for different products. And so, the
company finds that process departmentation is good to use.

Human resource planning is a process through which the right candidate for the right job is ensured. For
conducting any process, the foremost essential task is to develop the organizational objective to be achieved
through conducting the said process.
It mainly involves implementation of the human resource action plan. Human resources are allocated
according to the requirements, and inventories are updated over a period. The plan is monitored strictly to
identify the deficiencies and remove it. Comparison between the human resource plan and its actual
implementation is done to ensure the appropriate action and the availability of the required number of
employees for various jobs.
RECRIUTMENT PROCESS
Recruitment process is a process of identifying the jobs vacancy, analyzing the job requirements, reviewing
applications, screening, short listing and selecting the right candidate.
These are:
1. Internal Sources, and
2. External Sources
Galaxy Stone Industry generally uses internal source through promotion. And in external sources through
employment agencies, direct recruitment, etc.
Screening is an integral part of recruitment process that helps in removing unqualified or irrelevant
candidates, which were received through sourcing.
In view of above, it is necessary for employer to try to answer certain questions like: whether the recruitment
methods are appropriate and valid? And whether the recruitment process followed in the organisation is
effective at all or not? In case the answers to these questions are in negative, the appropriate control measures
need to be evolved and exercised to tide over the situation.
PROCESS OF SELECTION
Interview is the oral examination of candidates for the employment. In this step the interviewer matches the
information obtained about the candidate through various means to the job requirements and to information
obtained through his own observations during the interview.
Hiring decision is solely based on the interview. Employer has to be very cautious about selecting the most
suitable candidate. A careless decision would impair the morale of the people. The organization then intimates
this decision to successful candidates by sending appointment letter.
Company generally takes a week to decide upon the candidates to be selected. After taking the decision the
candidate is given an appointment letter.
Once the candidate selected accepts the job offer he is supposed to submit identity proof & address proof. He
is then placed in the firm for a trial period of 3 months. In these three months his performance is evaluated on
various criteria like learning ability, attitude towards work etc.
The employee placed on trial basis is given a confirmation letter after three months of his service, if his
performance is found up to the mark.
Galaxy Stone Industry asks for resume of employee and id proof, address proof and medical proof of the
worker for reference and security issues.
SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
Internal sources
External sources
Internal sources
Internal recruitment seeks applications for positions from those who are currently employed. Internal sources
include present employees, employee referrals, former employees and former applicants.
But Galaxy Stone Industry uses few methods of internal recruitment like;
a) Employee referrals: - employees can develop good prospects for their families and friends by
acquainting them with the advantages of a job with the company, and encouraging them to apply.
b) Former employees: - some retired employees may be willing to come back to work on part-time basis
or may recommend someone who would be interested in working for the company. Sometimes, people
who have left the company for some reason or the other are willing to come back and work. An
advantage of this source is that the performance of these people is already known.
c) Previous applicants:- those who have previously applied for job can be contacted by mail, a quick and
inexpensive way to fill an unexpected opening. Although “walk-ins” are likely to be more suitable for
filling unskilled and semi-skilled jobs, some professional openings can be filled by applicants to
previous jobs.
External sources
Sources external to the firm are professional or trade association, advertisement, employment exchange,
consultants, contractors, displaced persons, radio and television, acquisitions and mergers, and computers.
a) Contractors:- contractors are used to recruit causal workers. The names of the workers are not entered
in the company records and, to this extent, difficulties experienced in maintaining permanent workers
are avoided.
b) Advertisement:- it is a popular method of recruitment. The company generally uses newspaper as its
mode of advertisement. And then the employees are comes of the walk-ins.

Establish performance
standards /goals
Communicate performance
expectations to employees
Measure actual
performance
Compare actual
performance with standards
1. Establish Performance Standards or Goals – The appraisal process begins with the establishment of
performance standards. The evaluators must determine what outputs, accomplishments and skills will
be evaluated. These standards should have evolved out of job analysis and job description. These
performance standards should be clear and objectives are to be understood and measured.
2. Communicate Performance Expectations to Employees – Once the performance standards are
established, these needs to be communicated to the respective employees so that they come to know
what expected of them. Past experience indicates that not communicating standards to the employees
compounds the appraisal problems. Here, it must be noted that mere transference of information from
the evaluator to the staff is not communication. It becomes communication only when the transference
of information has taken place and has been received and understood by the staff. The feedback from
the staff on the standards communicated to them must be obtained. If required, the standards may be
modified or revised in the light of feedback obtained from the employees.
3. Measure Actual Performance – This is the third step involved in the appraisal process. In this stage,
the actual performance of the employees is measured on the basis of information available from
various sources such as personal observation, statistical reports, oral reports, and written reports. The
evaluator’s feeling should not influence the performance measurements of the staff. Measurement
must be objective based on facts and findings. This is because what we measure is more critical
and important to the evaluation process than bow we measure.
4. Compare Actual Performance with Standards – In this stage, the actual performance is compared
with the predetermined standards. Such a comparison may reveal the deviation between standard
performance and actual performance and will enable the evaluator to proceed to the fifth step on the
process i.e. Review and discussion of the appraisal with the concerned staff.
5. Discuss and Review the Appraisal with the Staff – The fifth step in the appraisal process is to
communicate to and discuss with the employees the results of the appraisal. This is one of the most
challenging tasks the evaluators face to present an accurate appraisal to the staff and then make them
accept the appraisal in a constructive manner. A discussion on appraisal enables employees to know
their strengths and weaknesses. This has, in turn, impact on their future performance. The impact may
be positive or negative depending upon how the appraisal is presented and discussed with the
employees.
6. Initiate Corrective Action – The final step in the appraisal process is the initiation of corrective
action when it is necessary. The areas needing improvement are identified and then, the measures to
correct or improve the performance are identified and initiated.
Promotion
In Galaxy Stone Industry promotion is done on the basis of Merit of an employee and the seniority i.e.
superior performance. In merit based promotion, merit is taken to denote an individual employee’s skill,
knowledge, ability and efficiency.
i. Vertical Promotion: This is the kind of promotion when an employee is promoted from a lower
category to lower category involving increase in salary, status, authority and responsibility. Generally,
promotion means ‘vertical promotion’.
ii. Horizontal promotion: It involves an increase in responsibilities and pay and a change in designation.
But the employee concerned doesn't transgress the job classification.
Promotion Policy
The employee who are more productive, responsible and is efficient then he is promoted.
The merit base of the promotion is used.
Promotion is done by analyzing the employee’s past records.
The promotion activity is done by the head of department if its lower level worker and rest is in the
hands of managing director or general manager.
Demotion
Demotion policy
If the employee does not properly as per his/her salary.
If the employee misbehaves.
If employee breaks rules and laws of the organisation.
The demotion is also done on the base of the absenteeism of the employee.
Increment
Increment policy
The company gives annual increment of 10-15 % on annual basis.
And on the festivals like Diwali there is bonus provided to each and every employee.
The decisions are taken by the top management.
WELFARE ACTIVITIES
Intra-mural facilities (inside the workplace) : Intramural welfare facilities are those within the working
environment and include condition of the working environment (safety, cleanliness, and safety
measures), employee convenience (bathrooms, drinking water), health services (first aid and treatment
center, ambulance, counseling).
Extra-mural facilities (outside the workplace) : Extramural welfare activities some include comfortable
residences, proper roads and infrastructure and sanitation.
2) Hours of work and overtime: In the case of a casual or irregular part-time employee who is guaranteed
a pay rate set by reference to time worked, a record of the hours worked by that employee must be
kept.Employers only have to keep records in relation to overtime if a penalty rate or loading must be
paid for overtime hours actually worked by the employee. If this is the case, the employer must keep a

Training and Development is a subsystem of an organization which emphasize on the improvement of the
performance of individuals and groups. Training is an educational process which involves the sharpening of
skills, concepts, changing of attitude and gaining more knowledge to enhance the performance of the
employees. Good & efficient training of employees helps in their skills & knowledge development, which
eventually helps a company improve. The importance of training and development is as follows:
INDUCTION TRAINING
The Induction Training is also called as an orientation programme, wherein the new employees are introduced
to the rules and regulation of an organization with the objective of making them accustomed to the working
environment, where they will be working.
The new hires are generally provided with the following information about the organization:
Training and development of employees is a costly activity as it requires a lot quality inputs from trainers as
well as employees. But it is essential that the company revises its goals and efficiencies with the changing
environment. Here are a few critical reasons why the company endorses training and development sessions.
• When management thinks that there is a need to improve the performances of employees
• To train about the specific job responsibility and skills like communication management, team management
etc
To have good relation of workers and management, there are few facilities provided by the management like;
Suggestion box, staff meeting, any complaints are also taken by the management. Due to healthy relation
there would be low turnover of employees and many other benefits.
Under this system of wage payment, the workers are paid the wages on the basis of quantity and quality of
work performed by them. Under this system, the rates of wages are determined according to quantity and
quality of work and the workers are paid according to these rates.
The amount of wages to be paid to a worker under this system is calculated as under:
Here, the company allocates the workers who are in activity of transportation of the products so in these case,
the wage is on the number of trucks drive by the worker.
Under this method of wage payment, the workers are paid the wages on the basis of time. In this system of
wage payment, the workers are paid the wages on the basis of time as, per hour, per day, per week, per
fortnight or per month etc. This system does not consider the production of the employees during this time.
This system of salary is given to the department managers, general manager, security staff.
The establishment of a motivation and incentives system, whereby an array of rewards, monetary and non-
monetary, will be identified to addresses each managerial level/category interrelated with the Compensation &
Benefits system for increasing productivity and efficiency to achieve the right balance in fixed and variable
pay.
So the company provides the following incentives which are monetary and non-monetary;
Bonus:- It is a sum of money offered to an employee over and above the salary or wages as a reward
for his good performance.
Profit sharing:- Sometimes the employees are given a share in the profits of the organization. This
motivates them to perform efficiently and give their best to increase the profits of the organization.
Perquisites:- Several organizations offer perquisites and fringe benefits such as accommodation, car
allowance, medical facilities, education facilities, recreational facilities, etc. in addition to the salary
and allowances to its employees. These incentives also motivate the employees to work efficiently.
Job security:- Job security provides future stability and a sense of security among the employees. The
employees are not worried about the future and thus work with more enthusiasm. Owing to the
unemployment problem in our country, job security works as a great incentive for the employees.
However, there is also a negative aspect of this incentive that employees tend to take their job for
granted and not work efficiently.
CONCLUSION
Overall, Galaxy Stone Industry is quite organized firm. The firm manufactures raw material like grit, powder,
kapchi, metal, rubble which are used in construction of building, roads, dams, etc. The organisation does its
production process daily. And the organisation uses the very popular and easy method of marketing that is
through print media. The company is also financially sound though there were ups and downs throughout the
year. The company does not throw more light on human resource function as the company needs less
employees because the production is allover produced by machines. And so the organisation has 25-30
employees.
