Packaging Tools and equipment’s supply
and technical service
Signode India Limited is a Company of Signode Industrial Group, USA, a global leader in
the industrial bulk packaging industry with a heritage that goes back more than 100 years.
We produce strap, stretch and protective packaging. We also manufacture packaging tools
and equipment that are used to apply the bulk packaging materials. These packaging
products are used to contain, unitize, protect and secure goods during warehousing and
shipment. Our company is a pioneer in the industrial packaging sector with a long history of
customer-focused innovations in materials, processes and automation technology that have
revolutionized the sector.
The objective of Contract Packaging is to provide solution with single point responsibility at
customer’s premises in order to achieve his customer’s satisfaction. Started in 1987 at
BOKARO STEEL PLANT, to prove the equipment supplied to the customer, which was not
able to use to its optimum efficiency by him. We have demonstrated the optimum utilization
and effectiveness of the equipment to the customer by taking up this single point
responsibility of Operating & Maintaining the system.
After seeing the benefits that BOKARO STEEL PLANT has got from this concept, most of the
steel manufacturers like TATA STEEL, TIN PLATE CORPORATION OF INDIA LIMITED,
SAIL-BHILAI and JSW Steel, Essar Steel have also offered similar jobs to SIGNODE. The
success story of Contract Packaging continued and the list of new customers include Jindal
Stainless steel limited, Jamshedpur Continuous Annealing & Processing Company Private
Limited etc.
Presently this business contributes more than ₹400 Crores and is growing faster in view of
the changing trend towards outsourcing, by Indian Industry.
In view of the growth plans for this business, we felt it is necessary to establish, maintain and
implement an effective Safety Management System in place to ensure safer operations &
SATISFIED CUSTOMER.

Why-Why Analysis
It is a method of questioning that leads to the identification of the root cause(s) of a problem.
A why-why is conducted to identify solutions to a problem that address it’s root cause(s).
Rather than taking actions that are merely Band-Aids, a why-why helps you identify how to
really prevent the issue from happening again.
First start with the problem you’d like to solve. Then ask, “Why is x taking place?” You
will end up with a number of answers. Jot these down.
Repeat the process for each of the answers to the first question.

Repeat the process for each of the answers to the second ‘why’ and continue until you’ve
asked why 5 times.
When you’ve hit the 5th why, you usually have determined some root causes. Now you
can identify specific action plans to address those root causes.

The 5S pillars, Sort (Seiri), Set in Order (Seiton), Shine (Seiso), Standardize (Seiketsu),
and Sustain (Shitsuke), provide a methodology for organizing, cleaning, developing, and
sustaining a productive work environment
5S is a cyclical methodology: sort, set in order, shine, standardize, sustain the cycle. This
results in continuous improvement.
1’S- Sort. Sort, the first S, focuses on eliminating unnecessary items from the workplace
that are not needed for current production operations.
2’S- Once the clutter that has been clogging the work areas is eliminated and remaining
items are organized, the next step is to thoroughly clean the work area.
3’S- Set In Order focuses on creating efficient and effective storage methods to arrange
items so that they are easy to use and to label them so that they are easy to find and put
away.
4’S- Once the first three 5S's have been implemented, the next pillar is to standardize
the best practices in the work area. Standardize, the method to maintain the first three
pillars creates a consistent approach with which tasks and procedures are done.
5’S- Sustain, making a habit of properly maintaining correct procedures, is often the
most difficult S to implement and achieve.
Grievances take the form of collective disputes when they are not resolved. Also they
will then lower the morale and efficiency of the employees. Unattended grievances
result in frustration, dissatisfaction, low productivity, lack of interest in work,
absenteeism, etc. In short, grievance arises when employees’ expectations are not
fulfilled from the organization as a result of which a feeling of discontentment and
dissatisfaction arises. This dissatisfaction must crop up from employment issues and
not from personal issues.
The HR should immediately identify all grievances and must take appropriate steps to
eliminate the causes of such grievances so that the employees remain loyal and
committed to their work. Effective grievance management is an essential part of
personnel management. The managers should adopt the following approach to manage
grievance effectively-
1. Quick action- As soon as the grievance arises, it should be identified and resolved.
Training must be given to the managers to effectively and timely manage a
grievance. This will lower the detrimental effects of grievance on the employees
and their performance.
2. Acknowledging grievance- The manager must acknowledge the grievance put
forward by the employee as manifestation of true and real feelings of the
employees. Acknowledgement by the manager implies that the manager is eager
to look into the complaint impartially and without any bias. This will create a
conducive work environment with instances of grievance reduced.
3. Gathering facts- The managers should gather appropriate and sufficient facts
explaining the grievance’s nature. A record of such facts must be maintained so
that these can be used in later stage of grievance redressal.
4. Examining the causes of grievance- The actual cause of grievance should be
identified. Accordingly remedial actions should be taken to prevent repetition of
the grievance.
