 1.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE INDUSTRY

Utensils are mainly manufactured by small and medium enterprises spread across
various clusters in India and provide employment to sizeable workforce. These products are
of immense daily use in the household and hence there is a large market base in India with
more than 250 million households. Utensils are of many varieties and the most important of
them being Kitchen Utensils used for the preparation of meals. They are used for mixing,
cutting, shucking, and many other activities in the kitchen. From mixers and blenders to
spatulas and whisks, there are utensils for the preparation of every type of meal, and every
level of cooking. Kitchen utensils should have good cooking efficiency by the shape, size and
thickness of the utensil. The utensil should be appropriate for its intended use so that the kind
of heat used will be distributed evenly. This will ensure proper preparation of the food being
cooked at the proper temperature. Kitchen utensils should offer versatility for everyday use.
They should provide plenty of flexibility for preparing many types of meals. Durability and
reliability are the two most important features of utensils, as they will stand up to wear and
tear, and last a lifetime.

History of Utensils in India

Before digging out on the ancient Indian cooking utensils, let us first get an idea of
the raw materials that were used to manufacture these olden days’ kitchen equipment. They
form the basis on which these utensils were being used. From a broader perspective, there
were mainly five categories that were used from ancient times in India.

Stones

These are generally used in grinding. As opposed to the stainless steel blades that are
used in the mixers, for grinding using sharp blades that are made out of stainless steel, the
usage of stone goes back to olden days of the kitchen. The taste of the ingredients, when
ground using ancient Indian cooking utensils manufactured by stones cannot be compared to
the others. This option along with its unique taste is healthier too. 

Clay

7
 Clay is used in many olden days’ kitchen equipment. Though clay is a bad conductor
of heat, it is not that it cannot pass heat through it at all. There is a slow and constant heat that
gets transferred to the whole cookware making it easy to heat uniformly. it takes a lot of time
to get heated as said earlier. They are also used to store food once they are cooked.

Ceramics

Ceramics, on the other hand, are in a way sophisticated clay for the fact that they are
baked to solidify. It is inert, as they do not react with any of the food ingredients forming
toxins. The ceramics picked should not be the one that is contaminated by adding poisonous
substances.

Metals

The utensils made using the metals are the most used materials. They are used in
many forms, each one for different purposes. As is there are several metals. Due to this fact,
there are vast forms of utensils that are carved out of these. We should be extra careful while
using metals, unlike the previously mentioned materials, as all the metals are not good when
it comes to cooking.

Copper

Copper is widely used for storing water other than heating, where only the portion
where fire touches the metal is made using copper. This is due to it being a great conductor of
electricity. It is very reactive with most food items, so it is better to confine it to store water.

Cast Iron

After a very long vacation, fortunately, cast iron is coming back to the Indian
kitchens. They are very good conductors of heat because of which they serve a great purpose
in transferring heat to the Kadais very efficiently, uniformly, saving fuel. The iron that is
heated makes the food items to absorb some amount, making us compulsorily consume them,
which acts as a bonus health benefit, Being careful about rust and some reactive acidic sour
items, we can make use of this for most of the dishes along with the health benefits that it
provides

8
Stainless Steel

They are universal, in the sense that without getting rust and not reactive to any kind
of food ingredients, irrespective of their taste, this can be used in cooking safely, but the
health benefit bonus of cast iron is not applicable here.

Bronze

Called as Kansa in most parts of the country, it is mostly used in East India for several
things, such a Plates ,Tumblers to drink water, Serving bowls to serve food.The advantages of
this metal being the health benefit of purifying the food served through it or eaten using this
metal plate.

Silver

Silver, being an expensive metal now, can be rarely seen in households. But back
then, silver was used in both kitchens and religious work. The best use case of silver is in the
plates. When eaten using silver plates they throw abundant health benefits, like:

Gold

When silver is hard to be kept in our routines, it is highly likely that gold can be
brought into our regular schedules. But if you can afford it, there is nothing like it. It is not
just a metal that looks beautiful, but a metal packed with high benefits. 

1.2 INTRODUCTION TO THE COMPANY

9
 SRI DHANDAPANI ASSOCIATES has been in business since 1995. Today, it has
two factories and about 63 persons working employees. We produce high quality aluminium
cooker in the market and has expanded the products distribution since 2001 in south part of
India. SRI DHANDAPANI ASSOCIATES has sold over 5 - 6.5 lakhs pressure cookers and
cookware. The company turnover is around 40-45 lakhs All DHANDAPANI cookers are
listed and testing products for public safety. From February 1, 2021, the Government of India
has made it mandatory to list all Pressure Cookers manufactured and sold in India with the
Bureau of Indian Standards, commonly known as ISI. Hence additionally, all Pressure
Cookers manufactured by us have certification of BIS and carry the ISI stamp mark too. Each
pressure cooker made by DHANDAPANI features an inside fitting lid. This design is
inherently safer than conventional pressure cookers. To open this cooker, you have to first
lower the lid slightly into the body of the cooker; and that cannot be done until the steam
pressure inside the cooker falls to a safe level. Thus these pressure cookers are pressure
locked.

This Company is well known for not compromising on quality .The most thorough
research and development, the most careful selection of materials, the best manufacturing
practices and the strictest quality control - all go into making pressure cookers which are
trusted by the thousands of families using them. Each cooker is tested to be leak-proof. Along
with a superior pressure regulating system, this ensures that it cooks quickest. Each pressure
cooker comes individually packed in an attractive full-colour carton. Cookbooks/Instruction
Manuals come free with each pressure cooker. All pressure cookers are guaranteed for five
years. The motto of Sri Dhandapani Associates will be to provide the best quality, with
reasonable prices. The company will have to continue same motto and provide better at lower
rate. One of the good things will be that we will hold briefing discussion every day. In which
we discuss the problem and find solution. Every business unit wants to earn maximum profit.
But, Sri Dhandapani Associates aim will not only earn maximum profit but also take care of
people health and product quality. We will never compromise with quality this will be the
way by which we can Capture the market as well as earn profit.

How does a pressure cooker work?

A. High-pressure steam rapidly transfers heat to the surface of any food not submerged in
liquid.

B.A spring-loaded valve is normally open so that air can escape. As heating begins,
expanding vapour pushes this valve up, closing off the vent. (At very high pressures, it rises
farther and reopens the vent to release excess steam.)
The valve regulates the pressure inside the cooker to a present level typically 15 psi above
atmospheric pressure; this value is called the gauge pressure. At these elevated pressures,
water boils at 114 °C respectively. As soon as the cooker reaches the correct cooking
pressure, reduce the heat to avoid over-pressurizing it.
C. The sealing ring, typically a rubber gasket, prevents steam and air from escaping as they
expand. This causes the pressure in the vessel to build as the temperature rises. Any food
particles stuck in the seal can cause it to leak steam, so check and clean the gasket regularly.
D. The lid locks with a bayonet-style mechanism that pushes against the sides of the cooker.
Frequent over-pressurization can damage this mechanism and render the cooker useless.
Other designs use bolts that clamp around the outside.
E. The handle locks as well, to prevent the lid from opening while the contents are under
pressure.
F. There is too much liquid in this cooker. Generally, you should fill the pot no more than
two-thirds full.
G. Water vaporizes into steam, increasing the pressure inside the cooker as it heats. Because
the boiling point of water depends on pressure, it rises too, just enough to keep the water and
steam temperature hovering around the boiling point for the higher pressure. The pressure
continues to rise until it is stabilized
by the valve.
H. Add enough water to the pot,
either around the food or under a
container of a food elevated above
the bottom of the pot, to enable
plenty of steam of forms

15
How Are Pressure Cookers Made?

Pressure cookers are some of the most convenient kitchen equipment available.
Pressure cookers are used to prepare food quickly and efficiently thanks to the power of
trapped steam pressure.

Pressure cookers are faster compared to most cooking methods whether boiling, braising or
steaming. The high-temperature environment that is created in a pressure cooker also helps
caramelization and browning to occur, which further gives you more variety in the types of
foods that can be prepared in a pressure cooker.

How Are Pressure Cookers Made?

A pressure cooker is technically a simple pot that comes with a lockable lid and valve
that is used to control the pressure inside the cooking pot. The lid is responsible for trapping
the steam, which then causes the pressure inside the pot to build up.

The increase in pressure consequently raises the boiling point of water, which drops the
cooking time considerably. All pressure cookers maintain the same mechanism for preparing
food. Despite this similarity, there are several notable differences in design and features
among various brands, models and manufacturers.

Basic Parts of a Pressure Cooker

The pressure cooker consists of 3 main parts:

The inner pot, which is where all the cooking takes place

The lid- the part responsible for sealing in the moisture and pressure

The base which is where the heating takes place.

The Pressure Cooker Lid

The pressure cooker lid is perhaps the most important component of the entire
pressure cooker. The lid is where all the safety mechanisms and systems are placed so it must
always be handled with caution and treated with care. The lid is where the pressure valves
and the sealing mechanisms are held.

16
 The valve and pipe are where the steam comes through; before you attempt to use your
pressure cooker, you must make certain that the valve and pipe are free and clear of any food
blockage or residue.

Lids are designed differently depending on the brand in question. If you turn over the lid of
some pressure cookers, you might notice a small basket that is put there to prevent food from
reaching the pressure valve. Some brands also add a false ceiling to keep these critical
components of the pressure cooker safe and free from blockage.

The Base

The base of the cooker is where all the heating occurs because it is where the heating
elements are situated. The temperature sensor, as well as the programming panel, is also
located within the base. The temperature sensor is what helps to keep track of the temperature
of the system.

If the sensor detects excessive heat inside the pot, it will automatically shut itself off. The
programming panel consists of all the pre-set programs and buttons that are used for
operating the pressure cooker. Different models and manufacturers have differently designed
panels as well as some similar programs.

The Inner Pot

The inner pot of the pressure cooker is where the food is actually cooked. The pot can
be made from different materials including ceramic, stainless steel and aluminium. The inner
pot is usually removable and can only be filled to a maximum level for cooking to occur
properly and to prevent the safety mechanisms situated on the lid from spoiling.

17
 PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE.
The pressure cooker consists of components like main body, lid, regulator, gasket,
fusible plug, handles, lugs etc. The main body and lid of the pressure cooker are
manufactured of aluminium alloy sheet/Circles of different thicknesses depending upon the
size and specifications of the Cooker.

The components i.e. pressure regulator, Bakelite Handles and Lugs, Rubber Gasket, Fusible
Plugs, Screws, Rivets, Packing Boxes etc. are usually purchased from outside sources by the
pressure cooker manufacturers.

In the manufacturing of pressure cookers operations like circle cutting, deep drawing of
body, drawing of lid, trimming of body and lid, notching of body, drilling of holes in body
and lid, fixing of lugs, handles, vent pipe, buffing and polishing, testing, packing etc. are
involved.

QUALITY CONTROL AND STANDARDS

The Indian Standard Specification No.

IS 2347:1995 for domestic pressure cooker and IS 1766:1994 for Rubber DOMESTIC
PRESSURE COOKERS 75 Gaskets for cookers and other relevant specifications prepared by
the BIS should be followed for quality control and various tests. The manufacturer should
have arrangement to carry out the important tests in the factory premises.

 CHAPTER-III

Functional departments

When a business has a traditional hierarchical structure, it will be typically structured

by functional departments i.e. departments with clearly defined roles and responsibilities.
This division into functional departments helps with communication as people know who to
speak to if a problem arises. It also helps workers understand their roles and how the business
works, setting out the responsibilities of each part of the business.

Although departments are separate from each other, their roles are connected. For example,
the human resources department is responsible for making sure that the other departments
have enough workers with the right skills; the finance department ensures that there is money
available to carry out activities across all departments.

Marketing works with production by providing information about the products that
customers want, whilst purchasing has the job of making sure that there are enough materials
for production to manufacture.

Depending on the nature of the organisation in question, some departments are likely to be
much larger than others. For example, in a car manufacturing business, operations
management is likely to employ the majority of the workforce. Nonetheless, the other
functional departments are essential to the success of the business no matter how efficiently
the production line is run, there is no point in producing thousands of cars per week if the
sales and marketing department have not persuaded enough potential customers to purchase
them. All functional departments must work in conjunction with one another in order to
achieve a common set of objectives set out in the corporate plan.

Functional objectives

These are the goals of each of the functional departments if a business is to be

successful then these objectives must be closely tied to the corporate objectives. For example,
if the marketing department sets itself a goal of achieving 10% more sales over the next year,
whilst the human resources department is seeking to reduce staffing by 5% across the

21
company in the same period, then they are likely to be working against each other. Goals
must be carefully coordinated to ensure that they are consistent with the corporate objectives
in other words, all departments are working together to achieve the same overall objectives of
the organisation.

PURCHASE DEPARTMENT

23
 3.1 PURCHASE DEPARTMENT

Purchasing is the process of buying or acquiring goods and services to make supply
chain management more efficient. Goods, materials, and equipment procured in this process
play a key role in improving the quality of products/services produced by the organization.

Ultimately, the purchasing process impacts the product quality and helps in optimizing costs
in the value chain.

Now, every organization has its specific needs when it comes to the sourcing and
procurement of equipment, raw materials, and services. These needs define the purchasing
process and how its purchasing department functions.

Based on these needs, an organization sets the purchasing departments responsibilities and
streamlines its procurement plans to guard against demand-supply hurdles. Let’s understand
the role of a purchasing department in this process

Key Functions of Purchasing Departments

All purchasing department functions are aligned with the business objectives of an
organization.  Here are some of the basic purchasing department functions:

● Identify business requirements for goods, materials, and services

● Find reliable suppliers to meet these requirements
● Negotiate prices, build quality, and delivery terms
● Set up the order quantities and making bid requests on supply contracts
● Coordinate delivery and storage operations
● Run quality control and product testing

24
Purchasing Department Staff

The purchasing department staff is composed of various professionals who identify the
supply needs, manage requisitions, control budgets, and procure goods at competitive prices.
Purchasing department staff includes:

● Purchasing Manager: Leading the department, the manager supervises all purchases and
works closely with business executives to understand their business needs thoroughly.

● Based on this, purchasing managers distribute the purchasing department responsibilities

among the purchasing officers.

● Purchasing Officers: Under the purchasing managers supervision a team of professionals

runs the buying activities. They explore and evaluate the needs based on the order size and
the business priorities set by the manager.

● Their work helps the purchasing manager in working with supply agents and taking the
best procurement decisions for the organization.

● Agents: Like mortgage brokers, these agents execute the purchase department
responsibilities at the ground level. Negotiating prices, finding alternate vendors, and
obtaining bulk discounts are some of the key activities that these agents handle.

25
RAW MATERIAL

The raw materials are the most important component of the production process. When
the raw materials are collected then and only then production is possible. If the raw materials are
available in the cheapest way it is the most important advantage for the firm. The raw materials
can be compared to water, air and food for human beings which are very important so as the raw
materials for the firm .The raw materials are like the parts of human body without which the
person cannot perform his activities. Raw materials are very important requirements of every
industry & mainly for manufacturing unit. The production of any product is not possible without
raw materials. Raw materials are regarded as assets and are given or sold at higher price.

SRI DHANDAPANI ASSOCIATES also considered the raw materials as the key factor in
production unit. The main raw material used in Pressure cooker is: aluminium circle, Whistle, gas
kit, Bakelite handle. SRI DHANDAPANI ASSOCIATES purchasing the raw material from
Chennai, Mumbai. Raw material will be the basic need of all types of organization of all medium
and large scale industry. Without raw material production process will impossible. Raw material
is life blood of production department.

26
 RAW MATERIAL
• Aluminium Circle
• Whistle set
• Gas Kit

27
PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

28
 3.2 PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
The first function is to establish standards in regard to the quality and the quantity of
the products being made. Typically, these standards are placed throughout the process, not
just at the beginning or end. The second function of the department is to work with the
purchasing department to ensure enough materials are on the production line and to ensure
replacement of any broken equipment. The purchasing department works with other
departments to make sure purchased equipment and materials are all stocked and available.
The next function is to work with the design and technical department to ensure the product is
built to the correct specifications and to place any new designs or changes to the product onto
the line. Finally, the production department collaborates with the works department to ensure
there is a proper workforce available to check the quality of the product and make any
necessary repairs to any equipment that breaks. The production department does not work
directly with the marketing department. However, it remains in contact with marketing to
ensure the products are attractive and desired by customers.

Objectives of Production Management

Production in Right Quantity

Production management formulate and implement various production strategies to
ensure production in right quantity. Production in the right quantity is important for every
organisation to ensure profitability.

Excess or shortage in production will have adverse effects. Excess production of products
will leads to blockage of funds in inventory. Where as the shortage in production will create a
shortage of its products and will not be able to fulfil demand.

Minimisation of Production Time

Completion of production activities timely is essential for the achievement of the
goal. Production management designs schedules for various production activities of business.
It monitors all production activities and ensures that all operations are going as per planned
schedules. In case of any deviation in production activities, production manager takes all
necessary corrective measures to remove these deviations.

29
Production of Right Quality
Production management ensures that quality products are manufactured by the
organisation. It aims that customers’ expectations are fulfilled by the product. Attempts are
made to convert the needs of customers into production specification while designing a
product. Certain standards are set through production management process and attempts are
made to fulfil these standards.

Minimisation of Cost
Cost reduction is the primary focus of every business. Production management aims
at minimising the cost of product activities of business. It involves usage of sound supply
chain management in production planning minimising the overall production and supply cost.
Production management estimates the true cost of a product before its production and tries to
keep its production cost within the parameter of pre-estimated cost.

Planning and Control of Materials

Production management helps in maintaining the optimum stock of inventory within
the organisation. It keeps complete record of all materials required for various production
activities. By maintaining records, shortage of any raw materials can be easily detected. It
helps in ensuring that all raw materials are always available in the right quantity so that
production activities are not affected.

Optimum Utilisation of Resources

Proper utilisation of all resources is must to earn the desired profit and achieve desired
goals. Production management issues rules and guidelines for all persons associated with
production operations. It monitors their activities and helps them in improving their
efficiency. Production managers check the overall activities and productivity of all
departments of organisations. It is ensured that there is no wastage of resources and all
resources are efficiently utilised.

QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT

33
 3.4 QULITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT

Present era is the Era of Quality. In this age of cutthroat competition and large scale
production, only that manufacturer can survive who supplies better quality goods and renders
service to-the consumers. In fact quality control has become major consideration before
establishing an industrial undertaking. Proper quality control ensures most effective
utilisation of available resources and reduction in cost of production.
Quality is near an accident it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort intelligent
direction and skillfull execution. Above all, quality means setting the highest standards for
their selves. In industrial context quality is defined in much more functional fashion thus we
can say that quality means Fitness.. It is also considered as the sum total of the attributes or
properties that describe the product. Today the existence of any manufacturing unit depends
on the quality of Product or services it manufactures or supplies. The image or goodwill of
any unit is closely related to the quality of product made or supplied by that unit.

In the SRI DHANDAPANI ASSOCIATES Industry are too much conscious about its
product. Industry will have latest equipment for the checking of raw-materials and fished
product. So that Industry can maintain quality of their product and build image in the market.
Industry will first check finishing of cooker, then test whistle test and at last pressure. Quality
testing involves each step of the manufacturing process. Employees often begin with the
testing of raw materials, pull samples from along the manufacturing line, and test the finished
product. Testing at the various stages of manufacturing helps identify where a production
problem is occurring and the remedial steps it requires to prevent it in the future. The quality
control used in a business is highly dependent on the product or industry, and several
techniques exist for measuring quality this 100% inspection method is a quality control
process that involves looking at and assessing all parts of a product. This type of quality
control is done to rule out flaws in products. This method is often used to evaluate valuable
metals and produce. When conducting the 100% inspection method calls for data about the
manufacturing process and software to analyze inventory. Implementing quality control
procedures ensures you are selling the best products to your customers. In addition, practicing
quality control has a positive impact on employee conduct. Quality control can inspire

34
employees to create high-quality goods leading to greater customer satisfaction. ensure that
all the products, make by professionals are of standard quality by controlling
and testing of incoming material, in-process and outgoing products.
The Quality Control Department is responsible of monitoring and ensuring that each
stage of production is followed by all the necessary procedures for safe use of machinery and
that each product coming out of the production process, complies with all standards and
specifications that have been defined so to ensure a smooth and trouble free operation.
The quality department of the company is most important and functionalize. Before
manufacturing the product all test of maintaining the quality standards are formulating in
these departments. Right from the procurement of raw material till the final delivery of
finished products, their experts scan the range for the following parameters:
❖ Strength
❖ Quality of material
❖ Design
❖ Finish
❖ Durability
❖ Abrasion resistance
❖ Power consumption
Quality control (QC) is a process through which a business seeks to ensure that product
quality is maintained and checked at every levels of process.
In our company the Quality control methods are strategic procedures that ensure the
maintenance or improvement of a product's quality. Generally, these processes include
training employees, creating measurable standards for output quality, and periodically testing
items to detect any inconsistencies. In cooker manufacturing quality control plays an
important role as cookers are highly compressed into heat and air to cook the foods , that
cooker must be tested with air pressure check, heat check, leakage proof, proper fixing of
spares like handles and safety valve, and Gasket. Due to our adherence to these paradigms,
our range bear a trademark of superior quality. In order to sustain the reputation for quality
products, our professionals make sure that no lapses occur while testing the products.
Furthermore, it has developed a cordial relationship with their clients in order to understand
the increasing demands and provide timely delivery of products to our clients spread across
the mark

35
Objectives of Quality Control

This is the most basic function of the finance department. It involves the day-to-day
recording, analysis and interpretation of a company’s financial transactions. This will include
the tracking of all expenses (purchases, payments etc.) and sales of finished products.
In some start-up companies, this role is often carried out by a bookkeeper who might be
replaced by more specialized payables and receivables clerks as the company grows or
expands its operations.

It is the duty of the finance department to manage all cash flows into and out of a
company and ensure that there are enough funds available to meet the day-to-day running of
the company.  This area also encompasses the credit and collections policies for the

One of the main goals for your finance department should be to create and monitor
not only your overall company budget, but a variety of functional or departmental budgets, as
well. Budgeting requires research to estimate accurate revenue levels based on demand
forecasting. Using annual budget projections, your accounting staff can help you set targets
for profit goals and for overhead and production spending levels. Overhead includes costs
such as phones, rent and marketing, while production costs are those related to making your

spending levels to determine where you can cut costs without sacrificing quality.

Letting your debt get out of control can have serious long-term impacts on your
business. Keep an eye on your credit use, including interest amounts you’re generating, the
scheduling of your payments and the status of your credit report and scores.
