What is stone quarrying?

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.

History of quarrying of stone industry

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

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.

Major competitors of Galaxy Stone Industry are as follows:

 Gujarat Stone Metal Industry


 Ghanshyam Stone Industry
 Giriraj Stone Industry
 Eagle Stone Industry
 Jalaram Stone Industry

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.

SEGMENTATION AND TARGET MARKET

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.

E-mail :galaxystone@rediff.com Ph. No. :98250 76734

 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;

does manufacturing.
 Galaxy Stone Industry holds business ethics where Customer is the centre of companies business.

DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

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.

IMPACT OF VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

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

 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.

HOW PRODUCTION PLAN IS PREPARED FROM SALES PLANS ?



 Out of The Total Sales 60% constitutes of Kapchi so Galaxy Stone Industry does not prepares sales
plan for Kapchi but for other type like grit, powder, etc of Galaxy Stone Industry prepares sales plan.
 For the rest of 40 % the Galaxy Stone Industry prepares sales plan from their current assets like stock,
work in progress, closing stock etc.
 The following are the two types of planning which Galaxy Stone Industry does for preparation of
production plan
i. Material Requirement Plan
ii. Capacity Requirement Plan

HOW PRODUCTION PLAN IS CONVERTED IN MATERIAL REQUIREMENT


PLANNING ?

Material Requirement Planning

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.

This raw material is removed every day.

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.

CAPACITY REQUIREMENT PLANNING

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

E-mail :galaxystone@rediff.com Ph. No. :98250 76734

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.

FACTOR AFFECTING SELECTION OF THE PLANT LOCATION

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.

II. Nearness to market


The market is in good condition as there are good consumers nearby. And this is because of proper plant
location.

III. Availability of Manpower


As the plant is located in the urban area so workers are easily available. The availability of workers is the
main factor as without them the production and transportation of goods would not be possible.

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.

INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEM

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.

1. Sales – for understanding what materials they have for selling


2. Production – to understand what products to be manufactured
3. Finance – for working capital and tax purposes

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.

CLASSIFICATION OF INVENTORY ACCORDING TO ABC AND VED ANALYSIS

ABC analysis

In ABC analysis we have to classify the inventory in 3 classes.

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%.

We can consider boxes, label,etc as a C class product.

Classification according to VED analysis

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.

DIFFERENT RECORDS KEPT IN STORE

They store the following items in the store room:

Weight machine, stationary, grease, chemical, computer stationary, machinery spare parts, etc.

Records keep in store:


1. Raw material removed from mines, amount recorded

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.

MAINTENANCE PLANNING SYSTEM

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.

Raw material extracting department

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.

RECORDS RELATED TO PRODUCTION OPERATION AT DIFFERENT MACHINES


AND WITHIN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT

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.

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

Galaxy Stone Industry
Mfg. of : Kapchi, Grit, Powder, Metal, Rubble
E-mail :galaxystone@rediff.com Ph. No. :98250 76734

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.

Proprietary ratio = Shareholder’s fund


Total Assets

2018 13.74 20.38 = 0.77:1

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.

 Net Profit Ratio


Net profit ratio (NP ratio) is a popular profitability ratio that shows relationship between net profit after
tax and net sales. It is computed by dividing the net profit (after tax) by net sales.
Net Profit Ratio = Net Profit * 100
Sales
Year Net profit Sales Net Profit Ratio
2017 0.46 15.45 = 2.97 %
2018 6.52 16.59 = 39.3 %

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 %.

 Operating Profit Ratio


Operating net profit ratio is calculated by dividing the operating net profit by sales. This ratio helps in
determining the ability of the management in running the business.
Operating profit ratio = (Operating profit / Net sales) * 100
Operating Profit = Gross profit - Operating Expenses
Year Operating profit Net Sales Operating profit ratio
2017 1.63 15.45 = 10.55%
2018 1.78 16.59 = 10.73%

2017 15.45 3.78 = 4.09 times
2018 16.59 5.98 = 2.87 times

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.

 Average Collection Period


The average collection period measures the quality of debtors, since it indicates the speed of their
collection.
Average Collection Period = 365/Debtors turnover ratio
Year Debtors Turnover Ratio Avg. Collection Period
2017 4.09 times = 89 days
2018 2.87 times = 127 days

Interpretation :- In both the scenario it has been seen that the customers gives late payment.

2017 6.78 7.22 = 0.94:1
2018 0.10 13.74 = 0.013:1

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.

 Equity debt Ratio


Equity Debt ratio = long term debt / shareholder’s fund
Long term debt = secured loans + unsecured loans
Year Long term debt Shareholder’s fund Equity debt ratio
2017 3.10 7.22 = 0.43:1

Assets turnover ratio = Net Sales / avg. total assets
Year Net sales Avg. total assets Assets turnover ratio
2017 15.45 22.085 = 0.79 times
2018 16.59 23.64 = 0.70 times

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%.

STUDY OF ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE TO DECIDE WHAT TYPE OF ORGANIZATION


STRUCTURE IS DESIGNED FOR COMPANY

An organization structure defines how jobs and tasks are formally dividing, grouped and coordinate. With the
help of organization structure the establishment of authority and responsibility is become easy and clear. So
that we can avoid the conflict arises between the workers.
In Galaxy Stone Industry they designed a line and staff organization structure for the company because there
are functional specialists is the head of all departments. So we can give the line the advantages of specialist.
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.

It is grouping of activities on the basis of similarities of function. As Galaxy Stone Industry is a
manufacturing industry so functions like production, finance, marketing and HR are included.

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.

Process of Human Resource Planning

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.

Six steps in human resource planning are presented below:

BRCM COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION


78
Galaxy Stone Industry
Mfg. of : Kapchi, Grit, Powder, Metal, Rubble
E-mail :galaxystone@rediff.com Ph. No. :98250 76734

STEP 1:- Analyzing Organizational Objectives:


The objective to be achieved in future in various fields such as production, marketing, finance,
expansion and sales gives the idea about the work to be done in the organization. The company makes a clear
decision about the organizational objects and as due the decision the company will find easy in making human
resource planning.

STEP 2:- Inventory of Present Human Resources:


From the updated human resource information storage system, the current number of employees,
their capacity, performance and potential can be analyzed. To fill the various job requirements, the internal
sources (i.e., employees from within the organization) and external sources (i.e., candidates from various
placement agencies) can be estimated.

STEP 3:- Forecasting Demand and Supply of Human Resource:


The human resources required at different positions according to their job profile are to be estimated.
The available internal and external sources to fulfill those requirements are also measured. There should be
proper matching of job description and job specification of one particular work, and the profile of the person
should be suitable to it.
STEP 4:- Estimating Manpower Gaps:
Comparison of human resource demand and human resource supply will provide with the surplus or
deficit of human resource. Deficit represents the number of people to be employed, whereas surplus represents
termination. Extensive use of proper training and development programme can be done to upgrade the skills
of employees.

STEP 5:- Formulating the Human Resource Action Plan:


The human resource plan depends on whether there is deficit or surplus in the organization. Accord-
ingly, the plan may be finalized either for new recruitment, training, interdepartmental transfer in case of
deficit of termination, or voluntary retirement schemes and redeployment in case of surplus.

STEP 6:- Monitoring, Control and Feedback:

BRCM COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION


79
Galaxy Stone Industry
Mfg. of : Kapchi, Grit, Powder, Metal, Rubble
E-mail :galaxystone@rediff.com Ph. No. :98250 76734

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.

The following steps are involved:

a) STEP 1:-Recruitment Planning:


The first step involved in the recruitment process is planning. Here, planning involves to draft a
comprehensive job specification for the vacant position, outlining its major and minor responsibilities; the
skills, experience and qualifications needed; grade and level of pay; starting date; whether temporary or
permanent; and mention of special conditions, if any, attached to the job to be filled ”

b) STEP 2:- Strategy Development:


Once it is known how many with what qualifications of candidates are required, the next step involved in this
regard is to devise a suitable strategy for recruiting the candidates in the organization. The strategic
considerations to be considered may include issues like whether to prepare the required candidates themselves
or hire it from outside, what type of recruitment method to be used, what geographical area be considered for
searching the candidates, which source of recruitment to be practiced, and what sequence of activities to be
followed in recruiting candidates in the organization.

c) STEP 3:- Searching:


This step involves attracting job seekers to the organization. There are broadly two sources used to attract
candidates.

BRCM COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION


80
Galaxy Stone Industry
Mfg. of : Kapchi, Grit, Powder, Metal, Rubble
E-mail :galaxystone@rediff.com Ph. No. :98250 76734

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.

d) STEP 4:- Screening:


Screening starts after completion of the process of sourcing the candidates. Screening is the process of
filtering the applications of the candidates for further selection process.

Screening is an integral part of recruitment process that helps in removing unqualified or irrelevant
candidates, which were received through sourcing.

e) STEP 5:- Evaluation and Control:


Evaluation and control is the last stage in the process of recruitment. In this process, the effectiveness and the
validity of the process and methods are assessed. Recruitment is a costly process, hence it is important that the
performance of the recruitment process is thoroughly evaluated.
The costs incurred in the recruitment process are to be evaluated and controlled effectively. These include the
following –
(i) Salary of recruiters

(ii) Cost of time spent for preparing job analysis, advertisement

(iii) Administrative expenses

(iv) Cost of outsourcing or overtime while vacancies remain unfilled

(v) Cost incurred in recruiting unsuitable candidates

BRCM COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION


81
Galaxy Stone Industry
Mfg. of : Kapchi, Grit, Powder, Metal, Rubble
E-mail :galaxystone@rediff.com Ph. No. :98250 76734

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

The following five steps are involved in selection process:

STEP 1:- Employment interview:

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.

STEP 2:- Hiring Decision:

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.

Step 3:- 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.

Step 4:- Placing the employees on trial basis:

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.

E-mail :galaxystone@rediff.com Ph. No. :98250 76734

Step 5:-Confirmation letter:

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.

DOCUMENTS RELATED RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION

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

There are two 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

BRCM COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION


83
Galaxy Stone Industry
Mfg. of : Kapchi, Grit, Powder, Metal, Rubble
E-mail :galaxystone@rediff.com Ph. No. :98250 76734

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.

Galaxy Stone Industry uses following methods;

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.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL PROCESS

Establish performance
standards /goals

Communicate performance
expectations to employees

Measure actual
performance

Compare actual
performance with standards

Discuss and review the


appraisal with staff

Initiate corrective action

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.

WAGES AND SALARY ADMINISTRATION


Wage and salary administration procedures usually involve activities such as calculating the number of hours
worked in order to determine compensation, administering employment benefits, and answering payroll
questions from employees. Base wages and salaries are defined as the hourly, weekly and monthly pay that
employees receive for their work in an Organization.Thus, Wage & Salary Administration is the group of
activities involved in the development, implementation& maintenance of a pay system.
The company uses two ways of payment that is piece rate system and time rate system.

Piece rate system

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:

Wages = Units of production × Rate per unit.

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.

Time rate system

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.

The amount of wages under this system is calculated as under:

Wages = Time spent by the worker × Rate of wages according to time.

This system of salary is given to the department managers, general manager, security staff.

INCENTIVES AND MOTIVATION SYSTEM

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.
