The word "GREEN" may sound antithesis to our area of activity but we do what
we believe in. The main concern of the group has been most effective and
economic utilisation of the scarce natural resources and converting them into
durable quality utilities. We work in volume and this has helped us to maintain
moderate price level.

The earliest known making of plywood was in 3500 B.C. in ancient Egypt. The
Egyptians, the builders of the pyramids, were the first to create wooden articles
made from sawn veneers glued together crosswise.
They originally did this because there was a shortage of fine wood. Because of
this shortage, thin sheets of high-quality wood were glued over lower-quality
wood for a cosmetic effect. It wasn't done for structural benefits as it is today.
Modern plywood - in which the veneer is cut on a rotary lathe from softwood
logs - is of relatively recent origin, invented by Immanuel Nobel (the father of
the more-famous Alfred Nobel). The first such lathes were set up in the United
States in the mid 19th century. Plywood has been one of the most useful and
most-used building products for decades.
Plywood has become a very common building material in the United States, used
to make everything from furniture to houses.
GREEN PLYWOOD:
Plywood was the first engineered wood invented by man. It is made by stacking
together thin sheets of wood veneer - also called pliers - with the direction of
each ply's grain reversed from its neighboring plies.
These plies are bonded together through intense heat and pressure and strong
adhesives. This makes plywood a type of composite material.
Plywood production requires a good log, called a peeler, generally straighter and
larger in diameter than that required for processing by a sawmill. The log is
peeled into sheets of veneer which are then cut to the desired dimensions, dried,
patched and glued together to form the plywood panel. The panel can then be
patched, resized, sanded or otherwise refinished, depending on the market it was
intended to be sold in.
Plywood is usually used instead of plain wood in situations where the wood
needs to be flexible but stable. Plywood has a strong resistance to shrinking,
twisting and warping because of the differences in the layers.
TYPES OF PLYWOOD:
There are a large number of varieties of plywood. Each is created for a specific
purpose. Different conditions require different types of plywood.
Softwood plywood
Decorative plywood
Indoor Use
Outdoor Use
Plywood that is made for indoor use is generally made from less expensive
phenol formaldehyde glue (which has limited water resistance), while outdoor
and marine grade plywood are designed to withstand rot and use a water resistant
phenol-resorcinol glue to prevent delamination and retain strength in high
humidity.
The most common varieties of softwood plywood come in three, five or seven
plies with dimensions of 1.2 m × 2.4 m (4 feet × 8 feet). Each ply is 1/8 inch.
Roofing can use the thinnest 3/8-inch plywood. Floorboards are at least 5/8-inch
depending on the distance between floor joists. Plywood is often tongue and
grooved for flooring applications. Two of the edges will have "grooves" notched
into them to fit with the adjacent "tongue" that protrudes from the next board.
3. Peeling and clipping: Blocks are peeled in the lathe to make long ribbons of
veneer that are clipped to size, and sorted by moisture content in preparation for
drying. Co products include roundup wood, peeler cores, veneer clippings and
trim. The inputs include electricity to operate the lathe and conveyor.
Input: Logs
Block Conditioning
Veneer Drying
Hot Pressing
3. Roof Sheathing - Plywood is often used for roof sheathing. The panel size
combines speed of erection with lightweight portability. The stiffness of the
panels constitutes diaphragm action when prescribed framing and nailing
patterns are used.
Panels should be applied with the face grain at right angles to the supports to
provide maximum strength.
4. OTHERS -
The product is ideal for:
Furniture Partitions
Panelling
Cavity flooring
Panelled doors
Hoardings
False ceilings and other exterior and semi-exterior applications.
ADVANTAGES:
Really, if plywood did not exist, builders would end up making the same size
pieces of wood from a collection of flat boards. The result would be a much
higher cost for a finished product that isn't as safe or stable.
It is necessary to follow certain precautions to make the film face last longer.
1) Unload carefully.
2) Do not drag & drop from height.
3) Stack on a flat surface.
4) Clean both surfaces after use.
5) Apply mould oil after 3-4 uses.
6) Use sealant on cut edges.
7) Use minimum nails.

SECONDARY DATA:
Consumers have shown a consistent preference for wood as opposed to metal or
plastic furniture. Consequently, it is unlikely that drastic changes occurred in
lumber usage since 1972 despite the high prices for both softwoods and
hardwoods. The 1977 softwood and hardwood lumber use factors are
accordingly projected 0.48 and 1.85 billion board feet per index unit,
respectively. (The Forest Service is currently conducting a new survey on wood
usage in manufacturing. It will be possible to check the accuracy of these
projections later in 1978.)
Green Plywood
Total plywood usage has trended erratically upward during the 4 survey years
(fig. X). Hardwood plywood in particular showed a consistent upward direction
from 0.46 billion square feet per index unit to 0.83 billion-(adjusted to include
kitchen cabinets) in 2005. Softwood plywood rose from 0.28 billion in 2003 to
0.45.(adjusted) in 2005. Both usage factors are expected to show more modest
gains because of increased competition from composition boards. The softwood
and hardwood plywood use factors are projected at 0.45 and .75 billion square
feet per index unit in 2007.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS INGREEN PLYWOOD
Training in Indian Company is a continuous and unique process which unlocks the employees„
latent potential by imparting knowledge, sharpening professional skills and reorienting proactive
attitudes to integrate individual development with organisational growth and excellence.
The quality of employees and their development through training and education are major factors
in determining long-term profitability of a small business. If you hire and keep good employees,
it is good policy to invest in the development of their skills, so they can increase their
productivity.
Training often is considered for new employees only. This is a mistake because ongoing training
for current employees helps them adjust to rapidly changing job requirements.
Purpose of employees training and development process:
Creating a pool of readily available and adequate replacements for personnel who may
leave or move up in the organization.
Enhancing the company's ability to adopt and use advances in technology because of a
sufficiently knowledgeable staff.
Building a more efficient, effective and highly motivated team, which enhances the
company's competitive position and improves employee morale.
the material gains that result from their increased productivity. These factors give them a sense
of satisfaction through the achievement of personal and company goals.
Meritasabasisof promotion:-
Merit is taken to denote an individual employee„s skills, knowledge, ability, efficiency and
aptitude as measured from educational, training and past employment record. The merits of merit
system of promotion are:
1) The resources of higher order of an employee can be better utilized at a higher level. It
result in maximum utilization of human resources in an organization
2) Competent employees are motivated to exert all their resources and contribute them to the
organizational efficiency and effectiveness
4) Further it continuously encourages the employees to acquire new skill, knowledge etc. for
all-round development.
Despite these advantages the merit systems suffer from some demerit. They are:
1) Measurement or judging of merit is highly difficult.
2) Many people, particularly trade union leaders, distrust the management„s integrity in
judging merit.
4) Merit denotes mostly the past achievement, efficiency but not the future success. Hence,
the purpose of promotion may not be served if merit is taken as sole criteria for promotion.
level of skill acquired by an employee in an organization. This system is also based on the
custom that the first in should be given first chance in all benefit and privileges.
1) It is relatively easy to measure the length of service and judge the seniority.
3) Every party trust the management„s action as there is no scope for favoritism and
discrimination and judgment.
4) It gives a sense of certainty of getting promotion to every employee and of their turn of
promotion.
5) Senior employees will have a sense of satisfaction to this system as the older employees
are respected and their inefficiency cannot be pointed out.
7) This system seems to reserve the purpose in the sense that employees may learn more with
increase in the length of service.
In spite of these merits, this system also suffers from certain limitations. They are:
1) The assumption that the employees learn more relatively with length of service is not valid
as this assumption has reverse effect. In other words employees learn up to a certain age and
beyond that stage the learning ability of the cognitive process diminishes.
2) It denominates the young and more competent employees and results in employee turnover
particularly among the dynamic force.
3) It kills the zeal and interest to develop as everybody will be promoted with or without
improvement.
υψχ 95
4) Organizational effectiveness may be diminishes through the deceleration of the human
resource effectiveness as the human resource consists of mostly undynamic and old blood.
5) Judging the seniority though it seems to be in the theoretical sense. it is highly difficult in
practice as the problems like job seniority, company seniority, zonal/regional seniority, service in
different organizations, experience as apprentice trainee, trainee, researcher, length of service not
only by days but hours and minutes will crop up.
Thus the two main basic of promotion enjoy certain advantages and at the same time suffer from
certain limitations. Hence, a combination of both of them may be regarded as an effective basis

concerned with the talent acquisition practice followed in telecom sector.
Different telecom sector uses this practice because human resource and it is
essential that the biggest resource that is hr should be more effective and efficient.

3. Problem of surplus staff :-
HRP gives a clear out solution for excess staff i.e. Termination, layoff, VRS,. However
when certain employees are removed from company it mostly affects the psyche of the
existing employee, and they start feeling insecure, stressed out and do not believe in the
company. This is a limitation of HRP i.e. it does not provide alternative solution like re-
training so that employee need not be removed from the company.
5. Expensive process :-
The solution provided by process of HRP incurs expense.company has to spend a lot of
money in carrying out the activity. Hence we can say the process is expensive.
Marketing has been defined in various ways, but it can be defined as:
A social and managerial process by which individuals and groups obtain what they
need and want through Creating, Offering, Exchanging Products of value with
others. There are certain elements on which marketing and this particular definition
of marketing rests. They are linked to each other and they are complimentary one
giving rise to the other. Their relationship is shown in a diagrammatic form below.
118
Exchange and Transaction
Marketing is indeed an ancient art; it has been practiced in one form or the other.
Marketing is considered to be most important of all management functions in any
business. The basic task of marketing is the delivery of a total offer to the consumer
in such a manner that:-
c) All the organizational goals, including profits, are achieved in the process.
Firstly, place, it chooses the product that would meet the identified needs of the
chosen consumer/consumer group. Secondly, it performs various distribution
functions like transportation, warehousing, channel management, etc. so that the
product can conveniently reach the consumer. Thirdly, the firm carries o ut a number
of promotion measures like personal selling, advertising and sales promotional
programmes with a view to communicating with the consumer and promoting the
product. Lastly, the firm uses the pricing mechanism to achieve the consummation
of the marketing process, striking the level of price that is acceptable to the firm as
wall as to the consumer. All activities and programmes which a business firm
designs and carries out in its effort towards winning customers, relate to one or the
other of the four elements -product, distribution, pricing and promotion. These four
elements constitute the Marketing Mix of the firm.

INTERRELATIONSIP BETWEEN MARKETING MIX AND
ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
Since the marketing process is essentially an interaction between the marketing mix
and the environment I assembling and managing the marketing mix becomes the
crux of the marketing task. In fact many marketing scholars and marketing
practitioners view marketing as synonymous with the assembling and operating of
the marketing mix. Assembling the marketing mix elements into a winning
marketing programme is however, not an easy job. It involves many crucial
decisions relating to each of the elements product, price, channel and promotion.
Decisions are also required on the interrelationships of the elements.
Product
A product is not a mere non -living object; it is not a mere assemblage of matter -
physical and chemical. Utility alone is not the function of a product. A product
means something more than a physical commodity. People associate meanings with
products; they derive satisfaction from the non -utility aspects of the products as
well. Products have an identity or a personality of their own. The utility aspect of
the product is but one component of the product personality.
Theodore Levitt puts it succinctly when he says: “Products are almost always
combinations of the tangible and intangible... to the buyer, a product is a complex
cluster of value satisfactions. The generic thing by itself is not the product; it is
merely... the minimum that is necessary at the outset to give the producer a chance
to play the game. It is the playing that gets the results. A customer attaches value to
a product in proportion to its perceived ability to help solve his problems or meet
his needs. All else is derivative...The product is the total package of benefits the
customer receives when he buys it...The customer never just buys the generic
product...He buys something that transcends and what that something is, helps
determines from whom he'll buy, what he'll pay.”
Product definition concerns the various properties, which are designed into the
manufacturer's product line and the assortment of models and items, i.e., the product
mix, which makes up his total product offering. The conditions and circumstances,
which need to be considered in formulating this definition, can be divided into
123
those, which influence the development of new products, those, which relate to the
product mix, and those, which stem from the attributes of the company itself.
New-product development involves several stages, beginning with the genera tion of
new-product ideas and their appraisal to eliminate those unworthy of further
consideration. Products, which warrant additional investigations are identified and
technical work is begun on them along with, appropriate economic and market
research. During this stage the physical properties of the new product are
determined, small quantities are produced in the laboratory or pilot plant,
preliminary investigation of patent rights is begun, and initial estimates of
production costs are made. If initial expectations are fulfilled, development of the
product proceeds through process research, prototype testing, and
commercialisation.
The major determinants of the product mix are technology, competition, operating
capacity, and market factors. Accelerating technology is undoubtedly the basic force
affecting the product mix of the individual company, with competitive pressures
running a close second. In some companies, under -utilised capacity is an -important
influence along with such market factors as shits in the product mix of customers,
changes in the availability and / or cost of materials, new developments in
manufacturing processes, changes in the level of business activity, and government
controls.
The type and variety of products, which are appropri ate for a company, are also a
function of the firm's inherent strengths and weaknesses. Those attributes of
accompany with the most direct bearing on product definition are the strength of its
marketing performance, the extent of its production capacity, t he quality of its R&D
effort, and the abilities of its executive group. The amount of financial slack
available may also be an important influence on product definition.
Price
Price is not only the factor influencing the demand for industrial goods and the
patronage of industrial buyers; it is an indispensable part of the marketing strategy.
A price that is too high invites both competition and buyer resistance. While a price
that is too low may well competition, it will also deflate profits and may incur
losses.
In many instance the prices of industrial goods fall into patterns that are fairly
uniform throughout an industry. Nevertheless, a marketer mist decide whether or not
to follow industry patterns, and if not, how much to deviate from them. These
decisions must be made against a background of environmental forces including
competition, changing costs and shifting patterns of demand.
To price the equipment the industrial marketer must know the type of competition in
his industry, the nature of his costs, and the way i n which the demand for his
product behaves.
The typical industrial market is composed of a small group of large firms, a more
numerous group of medium-sized firms, and often a group of very small companies,
which sell mainly on the basis of price. The fir st two groups are likely to subscribe
to the philosophy of responsible competition. However, the nature and intensity of
competition tends to change with the changes in the lifecycle of products. These
conditions often give rise to a phenomenon known as pr ice leadership.
The nature and pricing implications of costs tend to change with different time
periods production cycle, equipment use cycle or product life cycle. Different types
of costs-controllable or non-controllable, incremental or sunk, overhead o r direct,
separable, and joint -exercise different influences on pricing.
The derived nature of demand for industrial goods affects its behaviour in response
to price change. While it is theoretically possible to stimulate demand for industrial
products by lowering their price, increased sales will result only to the extent that
prices of related consumer goods can be reduced sufficiently to stimulate their sales.
125
Place
Distribution channels playa vital role in the successful marketing of most of the
products. The distribution channel is an extension of the manufacturer into the
markets he plans to supply. The manner in which products and services are made
available through it is a function of its structure as well as the relationship, which
prevails among its different elements or intermediaries. The basic choice is whether
this structure will be composed of captive (owned) or independent units.
Since a distribution channel exists for the purpose of moving merchandise and
making services available, chann el strategy also involves planning of a logistical
nature. How efficiently the channel structure functions as the delivery system
depends in large part on the quality of logistical planning and its execution.
Distributors are the most numerous and the most important group of middlemen
handling industrial goods. Industrial users find it desirable to buy from the
distributor because he usually can give quick delivery, his use saves paper work in
buying, he can sometimes offers low prices, adjustments are easier to negotiate, he
may enable the buyer to save freight costs, and he is a good source of trade
information. The patronage of the distributor thus comes mainly from (1) the firm
too small to buy direct, (2) the large firms for emergency needs and items bought in
small amounts, or as means of reducing inventory.
Manufacturer's and sales agents are useful outlets to producers of a single item or a
narrow line of articles, to the manufacturer with limited financ es, and to all kinds of
manufacturers in areas where demand is thin or trade contracts are lacking.
Advantages in using agents are that their costs are often relatively low and the
producer incurs no costs unless sales are made, they offer contracts to a f irm
entering a new market, and their sales service is more specialised and intense than
that of the distributor. But the manufacturer who markets through agents loses
control over his marketing operations, lacks flexibility in bidding, incurs excessive
costs when volume is large, loses speed of delivery, quality of technical service, and
selling drive in comparison with his own sales force. Brokers and commission
merchants are useful mainly in special situations.
126
Manufacturer's branch houses are of two typ es those that carry stocks and those that
do not. Through the branch house, the manufacturer gets better sales service, more
adequate and representative stocks, and control of technical and maintenance
service. But branch houses are often so costly as to b e prohibitive.
Promotion
The crucial event in the marketing process is the sale. Within the context of the
corporate mission, every component of the marketing strategy is intended to bring it
about. But 1t must be brought about in a way, which assures cu stomer satisfaction.
This places a special burden on advertising, personal selling, sales promotion, and to
a lesser extent, public relations, which are the principal avenues through which
direct contact with the customer is made. Each has a unique contrib ution to make
both in generating sales and in sustaining customer patronage.
The task of the industrial advertiser is complicated by the multiple buying influence
characteristics of many industrial firms, the derived nature of demand for industrial
goods, and the fact that many materials, parts, and components lose their identity in
the end product. These conditions influence the role of advertising in the firm's
promotional strategy, which in turn has a bearing on the purposes which advertising
will be called upon to serve. While these purposes vary with the firm and the market
situation, several are fairly common. They are to inform, to identify the customers,
to win recognition, to support salesman, to motivate distributors, and to stimulate
demand.
The most commonly used media for disseminating advertising messages and the
sales appeal which they contain are trade journals and catalogues, followed by direct
mail, exhibits, general publications, and distributor aids. The choice of media is
determined by the need to reach the proper personnel in the customer's organization
with the proper frequency with proper overall impression.
The chief limiting factor underlying factor underlying the advertising effort is the
amount of budgetary support management de cides to give it. Sometimes this is
determined through the application of a fixed percentage to either last year's sales or
anticipated sales.
127
Publicity is commonly regarded as a form of advertising, although it performs a
slightly different function and is not paid by the sponsor. The most effective way to
create publicity is to generate newsworthy situations and events. Advertising
agencies are probably used less by industrial than by consumer goods marketers to
assist in their advertising and publicity. However, this appears to be changing as:
the number of agencies specialising in industrial accounts increases and the number,
which offers promotional services on a job -shop basis, continues to grow.
In selling products, the promotion mix mostly consists of Direct Selling and
advertising. Being high value items and complex in function, personal contact with
the customer is essential to convince him of the product's quality and capability.
MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
FMCG - Cigarettes business has an internal code for advertising/ promotions, which is
reviewed every year, and whenever any new law/rules are introduced. The internal code is
more stringent than other codes. It not only comprehensively covers all aspects of other

LEARNING EXPERIENCE
My experience of making a Product Profile is wonderful because it gives me a lot
of valuable & knowledgeable information. After preparing a product profile I come
to know that what researches should be conduct before launching any product in
the market. For promoting the sales of any product it is necessary to fulfill the
expectations of the consumers related to a particular product and this profile helps
me to know how to target the customer or how to reach the customer and how to
satisfy them.
It is necessary for every company to expand the market of their product for
surviving in a market and for expanding the market “Positioning of the market” is
very necessary. This profile also helps me in the same.
In this way I can easily say that “product Profile” is really a wonderful experience
for me.
