PREFACE
Since the last few years the environment of the business has completely changed. The modern
business placed on a very complex and intricate environment, the constraints and opportunities
provided by the nature of the economy and the economic system, political and legal framework,
social system, geographical and demographic factors etc. have profound impact on the business.
Many developments have taken place during the last one and half decade, with the opening of
Indian economy through globalization and rapid industrialization. Developments have taken place
in almost all the sector, via: the Technology sector, Finance sector, Communication sector, Health
sector, Engineering sector, etc.
Keeping all the drastic changes in mind, our recognized institute SINHGAD
INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, PUNE, has outlined a winter internship program to gather
various information from different industries. It facilitates the students to understand and grasp
quickly. It increases the skills, knowledge, team spirit and above all the potentiality of the students
to keep pace with the rapid growth of industrialization.
The purview of our training is to learn much knowledge from practical studies
and not merely from theoretical studies.

Executive summary
To reach the zenith alone, attempt is proved to be failure most of the times. Although todays
business practices have evolved out of the past but there are complex practices, which are
followed. The business market place environment has become very dynamic and changing very
fast. The year 2010 saw unprecedented volatility and turmoil in the global markets. Even thoughthe scale of the crisis seen in 2010 was beyond anybodys imagination, I am pleased that the team
at SEML posted its fifth consecutive year of record sales. SEML has created a niche for it in the
Indian and the INTERNATIONAL Market with the help of focus on quality, services to customers
and best business policies.
The Winter I nternship Programwhich commenced on 15thDec 2010and concluded
on 15thJan 2011came along with a lot of learning. As a brush up with the corporate world, I got
to analyze the mindset of people in these recessionary times, the work culture, the difficulties
faced by them apart from the learning about the project, functioning of organizations, developing
skills needed as a future manager.
The knowledge & skills gained here gave me a deep insight of the corporate world, its
functioning, and effect of external world on the industry.

Ferro Alloys
SEML is one of the largest manufacturer and exporter of Premium Grade Ferro Alloys
from India. The growth in steel industry, where Ferro Alloys are used as additives, has
pushed the demand of Ferro Alloys globally. Ferro Alloys are used as additives in
steelmaking as de-oxidants and as alloying agents. These are added in steel production
process no only for de-oxidation but also for grain size control as well as for improvement
in the mechanical properties of steel. Depending upon the process of steelmaking and the
type of steel being made, the requirement of Ferro Alloys varies widely. The product
mix of the Ferro Alloy industry consists of Ferro Manganese, Silico Manganese, Ferro
Silicon, FerroChrome and ChargeChrome calledBULK FERROALLOYS.
Role of Ferro Alloys
Ferro Alloys are used in steelmaking and consists of less than one percent of the total raw
materials required for steel production. The total installed capacity of Ferro products
Alloys in India in 2007-08 was 3.64 MT for bulk and noble Ferro Alloys together as per
Indian Ferro Alloys Producers Association (IFAPA). The industry entails a capital
investment of intermediaries to the steel industry.over Rs. 5,000 crore and it exported
Ferro Alloys worth Rs. 4380 crore in 2007-08.

Silicon manganese-
Silicon manganese (SiMn), a Ferroalloy with high contents of manganese and silicon, is made
by heating a mixture of the oxides manganese oxide (MnO2), silicon dioxide (SiO2), and iron
oxide (Fe2O3), with carbon in a furnace. They undergo a thermal decomposition reaction. It is
used as a deoxidizer and an alloying element in steel.
The standard grade silicon manganese contains 14 to 16% of silicon, 65 to 68% of manganese
and 2% of carbon. The low carbon grade SiMn has carbon levels from 0.05 to 0.10%.

DOCUMENTS OF EXPORT
Documentation refers to the process of providing evidence (to document something) or to the
communicable material used to provide such documentation (i.e. a document). Documentation
may also refer to tools aiming at identifying documents or to the field of study devoted to the
study of documents and bibliographies.
Documents in export process- In case of exports documentation plays a very imp role
because they are the only proof their.all the transactions like delivery of goods,custom
clearance ,payment are done based on documents. in exports bill of lading is the most
important document .on the basis of b/l L/C is formed.L/C stands for letter of credibility. It is
the guaranty of payment.
The documents required in export process are-
Draft-It is prepared by the sellerit contains all the basic information it is prepared for
the seller in the initial stage.
Commercial I nvoice-is a document which contains all the information like-
a) name & address of the exporter i.e the selller
b) consignee- i.e the bank
c) notify party- i.e the buyer
d) quantity & price of the stock.
Packing list-it contains all the information present in commercial invoice except
the price.it is prepared by the seller and issued to the buyer.

Bil l of lading (B/L)-It Is Also Called Non-Negotiable Sea Way Bill. It is the most
imp document in the export process. On the basis of (B/L) (L/C) is made. (B/L) is
issued by the shipment line at the time ofexport.
Letter of credit (L /C)- Letter of Credit (L /C)also known as Documentary
Creditis a widely used term to make payment secure in domestic and international
trade. The document is issued by a financial organization at the buyer request.
The International Chamber of Commerce (I CC) in the Un if orm Custom and
Practice for Documentary Credit (UCPDC) defi nes L /C as:
" An arr angement, however named or descri bed, whereby a bank (the I ssuing bank)
acting at the request and on the instructions of a customer (the Applicant) or on i ts
own behalf :
1. Is to make a payment to or to the order third party ( the beneficiary ) or is to
accept bills of exchange (drafts) drawn by the beneficiary.
2. Authorised another bank to effect such payments or to accept and pay such bills of
exchange (draft).
3. Authorised another bank to negotiate against stipulated documents provided that
the terms are complied with.

Research Methodology
Before we start our research, it is necessary to have at least some idea of what to do? This is
probably the most difficult and yet the most important component of the research project.
Without being clear about what we are going to research it is difficult to plan how to research?
Therefore formulating and clarifying the research topic is the starting point of any research
project.
Taking into account the above matter, the research topic is formulated as such;
Export procedure and documentation
Research Objectives
The research may begin with a general focus as a base from which to right a set of research
objective. Objectives is more generally acceptable as evidence of the researchers clear sense of
purpose and direction. A research objective requires rigorous thinking which derives from the
use of more formal language.
Therefore the broad objective of the study is:
To analyse the dispatch of Ferro Alloys.
SAMPLING
Generally when filled studies are undertaken in practical life, consideration of time and cost
are important issues that need to be kept in mind. This results in researchers selecting only a
few items as sample, out of those millions.

SAMPLE TECHNIQUE
The items which are selected is called sample and the process which involves in selecting the
sample is called Sample Technique. In this research, technique which is used for the collection
of data is judgmental sampling. Before starting, Rational judgment is taken such that sample
selected is the representative of the entire transportation under logistics.
SAMPLE SIZE
This refers to the number of items to be selected. It should be neither excessively large nor too
small, but should be optimum. The optimum sample is one which fulfills the requirement of
efficiency, representatives, reliability and flexibility.
The samples which are selected for the information collection are:-
Monthly dispatch figure of last three years.
Time taken by each truck for loading.
Single truck/ Container each day for 5 days.
Destination wise rates of transport for last one year.
Performance rating of last quarter of 2010.

FINDINGS
From the entire study on total loading cycle time, it is observed that the total time taken by the
trailer (including the empty container) and truck exceed the normal time frame. The normal
time taken is more than 5 to 6 hrs. This variation ranges from 5 hrs to 22 hrs. There are more
areas that have taken in to consideration which create delay in delivery. These are as follows:-
Late preparation of documents leads to late delivery of loaded trucks. The dispatch
documents generally release after 4o clock in the second half of the day and thereforeeven the trucks are fully loaded it waits for the documents to get , before leaving the
factory.
As per late preparation of certificate of test by quality assurance department, the
entire documentation process moves slow and make delay.
Delay in arrival or in time placement of trucks and trailers.
The way which involves the loading cycle is so complicated that even if the transporter
wants to arrive quickly, it takes enough time. The trucks generally wait in queues because the trucks which have arrived earlier are
there for loading the material / goods at loading point.
On few occasion printing and painting of reels is done after placement of lorry.
The loading cycle time in the whole process is greater and it is a lengthy procedure this
time needs to be reduced.

Recommendations/Suggestion
The company should centralise inventory in one place and use fast transportation to
fulfil orders. It reduces warehousing and inventory duplication cost.
Increase the manpower in the department.
The company should shorten the order-to-payment i.e. lapse time between orders
receipt, delivery and payment.
The company should manage effective logistics information management because it
helps to link channel partners and share information to make better logistic decision.
Information flow such as customers orders, billing, inventories label and customer data
are closely linked with channel performance.
A visit to the plant should be arranged for every intern or trainee
Ms office should be provided in the systems
International news should be provided to the staff
A monthly review should be done with all the clients and staff to figure out the
problematic areas so that we can find out the solutions which helps s to improve.

CONCLUSION
After understanding the ground realities of foreign/ international trade it is crystal clear that the
service is a major factor and should be kept in mind at any moment of time. Transparency in
work, proper communication, punctuality, systematic recording of documents are some of the
required and necessary qualities for any of the CHA. A small mistake by agent may loose
client business. Many of the exporters dont even mind to pay a little extra for better services,
so better service is the priority of any Exporter.
Client always insist on keeping them informed about the status of the consignment, this is quite
obvious because he also need to inform his customer about the shipment status. Good made
with client always helps in strong relations.
Accuracy in document is very important. Exporters are required to give a copy of invoice and
packing list. A standard format of these document is always preferred as it help CHA to
understand the information in a correct and broader manner, which ultimately saves time in the
process.
To understand the total process and document one should need basic knowledge of the subjects
like EXIM policy, shipping, insurance etc. If someone has proper knowledge of these areas
then it will be easy for him/her to work in the field.
