INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITION TO PRODUCTION

Production is transformation of raw materials to the

finished goods.

Production also refers to the addition of marketing surplus.

Production is the main activity that almost all the

industries perform with the intention of making profits by

selling the goods that are manufactured.

Production is creative process with infinite variations.

Given a set of natural resources & an idealistic or

acceptable norm of ‘fairness’ or both, the allocation of

production responsibility and compensation in terms of

consumption capacity, is the central concern of the

administration & management at all levels. In addition, what

goods/services are to produce & what are the most efficient

means (technology/ technique) to do so constitute some of

the other dynamic aspects of management. Engineering as a

profession is centrally linked to one or the other aspects of

production or conversion linked in turn with ‘sciences’ on one

hand & ‘society’ on the other.

Page 27: Kasuma Bearings

Increasing scientific understanding of nature, its efficient

utilization by technology, and a never-ending demand for

sophisticated range of goods/ services have led to

differentiation of human endeavor towards specialized

processes/ industries/ institutions for the production and

distribution of those goods/ services. One can conceive

‘industrialization’ as an organized industrialized application of

science and technology not only in the manufacturing sector

but also in the economy as a whole, including agricultural

sector and other service sectors.

Page 28: Kasuma Bearings

PRODUCTION PLANNING

Definition

According to Lawrence L Bethel, et al., “Production

planning takes the given product or line of products and

organizes in advance the manpower, material, machines and

money required for a predetermined output in a given period

of time. It starts with a product concept capable of being

manufactured, a general idea of the process by which it can

be made and a sales forecast for the discernable future.”

The production planning thus:

Is a management technique

Acts as a preparation activity

Forecasts possible difficulties so as to eliminate or

minimize them

Sets the production targets

Aims at making optimum utilization of an organization’s

resources by deciding the line of action well in advance.

Page 29: Kasuma Bearings

In short, it can be stated that production planning is

concerned with what, how, when and where the work is to

be carried out.

In KASUMA AUTO ENG (P) LTD production planning is

one of the most important functions performed by the

director. Here the production planning is done by the

director. Production planning is done every month.

Here, the production is on the fixed amount basis. Like in

some other companies production depends on the quantity of

order pending and then the production planning & process is

carried out. But, here there is fixed amount, fixed at the

beginning of every month, which is produced during the

whole month.

Page 30: Kasuma Bearings

RAW MATERIALS

Material:

Steel for bearing is SAE-52100, which is internationally

approved bearing material with oxygen content within 15

PPM only. Rollers are made from imported wire coils.

Retainers are made from low carbon steel called rolled sheet.

Steps Involved in the Process of Raw Materials:

Chemistry: Materials checked by metallurgists for

chemical analysis and microstructure.

Heat Treatment: Bearing races & rollers are hardened

and tampered with 58 to 62 HRC.

Dimensions: Kasuma adopted international standard for

dimensions & tolerances.

Page 31: Kasuma Bearings

Finishing: The Raceway or track of both the rings &

rollers are super finished and passed through honing

process to achieve micro finishing and great luster.

Inspection: Kasuma adopts full proof technique for

inspection at various stages like raw material, incoming

material inspection, semi finish and final assembly by well

experience technical staff.

Purchasing of Raw Materials:

KASUMA AUTO ENG (P) LTD purchases raw materials

from different places, depending on the material. The

purchase planning of the raw material is done by the director

of the company. The raw material is purchased every month

according to the requirements and planning.

Selection of Raw Material is based on the superior

quality and the prices prevailing in the market.

Quantity to be purchased is decided on the production

plan.

Page 32: Kasuma Bearings

PRODUCTION PROCESS

Forging

The First & foremost step for the production of bearing

is Forging of the steel bar for the exact size of the bearing

ring. The process of forging is showed below:

First picture:

It is the first process for the forging in this picture it is

easily understandable that the steel bar is cut to the

appropriate size.

Page 33: Kasuma Bearings

Second Picture (Right top):

In this step the cut piece is heated at 58 to 62 HRC. And

at a temperature of 9000C

Third Picture (Left Bottom):

In this step the hot metal is given the appropriate

Shape.

Fourth Picture (Right Bottom):

In this step the size of the forged metal is checked in all

dimensions. This is the last step of forging.

Page 34: Kasuma Bearings

Annealing, Turning & Heat Treatment

It is the second step in the process of manufacturing

bearing. This step is always conducted after forging. The

process of annealing is explained as under:

In the process of annealing the forged bearings are set

as shown in picture 1 & 2. Then the bearings are heated to

check the hardness shown in picture 4. Then the set bearings

are turned by checking the dimensions as shown in picture

3.

Page 35: Kasuma Bearings

Roller Component

The pictures below show the manufacturing process of

roller components:

The rollers are manufactured from SAE 52100 material

coils. The coils are cut in to pieces according to the need of

the size of rollers as shown in picture 1 and 2. Then they

are properly oiled and polished as shown in pictures 3 & 4

respectively.

Page 36: Kasuma Bearings

Cage Component

First the die of the cage as per the size of the rollers is

prepared & then the cage slots are punched and the cages

are manufactured as per the pictures shown below:

Grinding & Polishing

Picture 1: It shows the face grinding & face polishing

process.

Picture 2: It shows the outer surface (track) grinding & track

process.

Page 37: Kasuma Bearings

Picture 3 & 4: It shows the grinding of the track of the inner

ring & its polishing process.

SOON AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE ABOVE PROCESS

ALL THE COMPONENTS ARE SENT TO THE ASSEMBLY

DEPARTMENT WHERE THE NEXT FACE OF THE PRODUCTION

OF BEARINGS START.

Page 38: Kasuma Bearings

Assembly House

Picture 1: It shows all the components of bearings being

assembled together. Then after they are forwarded to the

stamping department.

Page 39: Kasuma Bearings

Laser Stamping

Picture 1: KASUMA uses advanced laser technology to mark

their product with various information and markings as per

their customer requirement and specifications.

Picture 2: It shows the beam of the laser machine marking

on a bearing.

Page 40: Kasuma Bearings

Oiling & Packing

Picture 1: In this process rust preventive oil and other

chemicals are applied in all the bearing in order to prevent

them from getting rusted then they are packed in air tight

packets in order to prevent them from humidity and other

climatic changes.

AFTER THIS STAGE ALL THE GOODS ARE PACKED AND THERE

IS NO CONTACT WITH AIR.

Page 41: Kasuma Bearings

Box & Cartoon Packing

Soon after the oiling and picketing process is completed

all the goods are sent to the packing department where they

all are packed in the boxes and they are stored in the stores

or packed in the corrugated boxes and made ready doe

dispatch.

Page 42: Kasuma Bearings

MACHINES USED IN THE FIRM

Automatic Grinding Machine

This machine is manufactured by P.M.T. It is mainly used

for Grinding & Turning of bearings.

In all there are eight Automatic & fifteen Semi-

Automatic machines present in the firm.

Page 43: Kasuma Bearings

Semi-Automatic Horizontal Face Grinding Machine

This machine is used for face grinding of the

face of the Inner & Outer ring of the bearings.

Automatic Laser Marking Machine

This machine is completely operated with a computer. All the

programming is done according to the requirement and

specifications; its production capacity is about 3000 pieces

per day. It is also the latest of its kinds.

Page 44: Kasuma Bearings

Production House

In all together KASUMA has more then 20 automatic

machines and 23 semi-automatic machines and the

arrangement of all the machines on its shop floor is so as to

minimize the movement of the raw material from machine to

machine, as it saves a lot of time

and energy.

Page 45: Kasuma Bearings

PRODUCTION CONTROLThere are several definitions of ‘Production Control’

which are occasionally disconcerting. For the present

purpose, it is suggested that the ‘Production Control’ covers

all the functions and activities which affect the process orders

and, at the same time has a fundamental effect on the

utilization and efficiency of production resource.

Production control is at the heart of any manufacturing

organization. If it is done well, then the whole organization

will do well. The benefits that can be obtained from

production control are, therefore, considerable. It is

influenced by the external environment and it would be

unproductive to design systems which are not responsive to

the environment.

Thus production control continuously monitors all the

activities related to the production and compares the actual

performance with the planned performance. It finds out the

deviations between the both and takes necessary

rectification steps.

In KASUMA AUTO ENG (P) LTD production control is

performed continuously.

The main objectives of the production control are as

follows:

Page 46: Kasuma Bearings

Orders to be produced within the given period of time.

Increase production by calculated amount.

Reduction in production cost.

Effect reduction in overtime.

Implement reduction in shop-floor lobour.

Show improvement in cash flow by reducing work-in-

progress, raw material stocks and finished goods stocks.

Maximize added value.

Increasing the productivity of the labor.

Production Capacity

The production capacity of the Firm is approximately

one million of Connecting Rod & Cylinder Liner &

approximately six million of bearings annually.

INTRODUCTION TO PERSONNEL

MANAGEMENT

The sole of an organization is its Human Resources.

Organizations require the services of a large number of

personnel. Therefore human resources are one of the most

valuable assets for an organization because it is through the

human efforts organization goals can be accomplished. All

the activities of an enterprise are initiated and determined by

the persons who work in the institution, plants, offices,

computers, automatic equipments, etc to make a firm

modern. These resources are unproductive without human

effort.

Definition

“Personnel management is the planning, recruiting,

selecting, organizing, directing & controlling of the

procurement, development, compensation, integration,

maintenance & separation of human resources to the end

that individual, organization & social objective are

accomplished.”

The above definition is a comprehensive one & covers

both the management function and the operative functions.

Page 50: Kasuma Bearings

The purpose of all these functions is to assist in the smooth

and successful accomplishment of basic objective.

`Thus we can say that no industry can be render

efficiently so long as the basic fact remains unrecognized that

it is principally human. It is not a mass of machines &

technical processes but a body of men. It fulfills its functions

not by efforts of some impersonal force but human energy.

Its body is not an intricate maze of mechanical devices but a

magnified resources system.

Page 51: Kasuma Bearings

ORGANIZATION OF PERSONNEL

DEPARTMENT

An organization is a group of individuals who co-ordinate

into different levels of authority and segments of

specification for the purpose of achieving the goals &

objectives of the organization.

Definition

According to Allen, “The organisation is the process of

identifying & grouping the work to be performed, defining

and delegating authority, responsibility & establishing

relationships for the purpose of enabling people to work most

effectively together in establishing of objectives.”

The internal organization structure of personnel

department varies widely in different companies depending

upon their size. For example, in small companies, line

executives discharge personnel functions. But in large

companies, where personnel activities are of complex nature,

a separate department is organized for the purpose.

KASUMA AUTO ENGG. (P) LTD follows line

organization structure as authority descends from the top of

Page 52: Kasuma Bearings

hierarchy to its bottom level and responsibility runs from

bottom level to the top of hierarchy.

Page 53: Kasuma Bearings

RECRUITMENT

Recruitment process starts after the identification of

vacancies to be filled up. It is concerned with the

identification of sources from where the personnel can be

employed & motivating them to offer for the employment.

Definition

“Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective

employees & stimulating them to apply for the jobs in the

organization.”

Thus the first step in recruitment is the identification of

sources of manpower supply.

KASUMA AUTO ENGG. (P) LTD fills up vacancies

through promotion of people available in the organization &

through the selection of people from outside i.e. through

advertisement in newspaper, through personal relation of

workers, managerial staff & lastly through Gate Hiring: It can

be presented as under

Page 55: Kasuma Bearings

SELECTIONDefinition

Selection is a deliberate effort of the organisation to

select fixed number of personnel from the large number of

applicants. The basic idea is to solicit maximum possible

information about the candidates to ascertain their suitability

for employment. Selection process is frequently described as

“Negative Process” In contrast to the positive programme of

recruitment since more candidates will be rejected than

those hired.

Procedure of Selection:

Screening of Applicants:

First of all the personnel manager will check all the

information contained in application from the concerned, in

order to ensure that whether it meets the standard or not. If

it meets, then suitable candidate is called for the further

selection process i.e. Interview.

Page 56: Kasuma Bearings

Interview:

Here an effort is made by the personnel manager to get

overall information of the candidate visually like candidates

work experience, candidates further planning, etc.

Approval:

On the basis of the above steps, suitable candidates are

selected & they are informed about their selection and asked

to present themselves on the specified date.

Page 57: Kasuma Bearings

INDUCTION

Definition

Induction is a technique by which a new employee is

rehabilitating into the changed surrounding and introduced to

the practices, policies & the objectives of the organisation. In

other words, it is a welcoming process-The idea is to welcome

a newcomer, make him/ her feel at home & generate a

feeling of belongingness, however its small, but is meaningful

and has significance as a part of total organisation.

Process of Induction:

Firstly information is given to a newly appointed person to

whom he has to give a report & the place of report.

Secondly, the respective manager welcomes the

employees.

Thirdly, it gives overall information about the department

in which he/ she is designated.

Page 58: Kasuma Bearings

WORKING HOURS AND SHIFTS

The working hours of the each and every employee are

12 hours a day. The employees get some time for rest, for

lunch and for tea and snacks in regular intervals of time.

There are two shifts everyday i.e. in other words the

company works for 24 hours a day. The two shifts are as

follows: -

Morning Shift : - It starts from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM

Night Shift : - It starts from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM

Firm works six days a week, except Thursday.

Page 59: Kasuma Bearings

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Definition

Training is the short-term process utilizing a systematic

and organized procedure by which non-managerial personnel

learn technical knowledge and skill for a definite purpose.

Development is a long-term educational process by

utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which

managerial personnel acquire conceptual & theoretical

knowledge for general functioning of the unit.

Organizations do not have choice whether to train its

employees or not, the only choice is that of methods of

training they are going to implement. There is continuous

environmental pressure for increasing the efficiency and if

the organisation does not respond to this pressure, it may

find itself losing whatever share of market it has. Training

imparts skills & knowledge to employees in order with which

they contribute to the organisation efficiency & be able to

cope up with the pressures of changing environment.

KASUMA AUTO ENGG. (P) LTD imparts two types of

training i.e.

Page 60: Kasuma Bearings

On the job training

Off the job training

First of all the company identifies the needs and then

they provide training. If the employee is semi skilled and

which is fit for the particular job and has some experience for

that job then that employee is grouped into on the job

method. If the labourer is unskilled and if he does not have

any experience then it is grouped into off the job training

method.

Page 61: Kasuma Bearings

PROMOTION AND TRANSFER

Promotion & Transfer are activities through which an

adjustment in the size of workforce of an enterprise can be

made to cope with the changing situations. Such adjustments

in workforce may be needed to meet special situations such

as changes in organizational structure involving regrouping of

jobs changes in the jurisdictions of the departments &

relocation of individuals, jobs & departments. These functions

can be accomplished informally or formally. Usually formal

systems are adopted to secure operative consistency &

efficiency.

Page 62: Kasuma Bearings

PROMOTION Definition

Promotion is the term which covers a change and calls

for greater responsibilities along with authority and usually

involves higher pay and better terms and conditions of

service & therefore a higher status or rank.

KASUMA AUTO ENGG. (P) LTD promotes almost all

the employees every year in their respective jobs. This

promotion encourages the employee to work harder and with

full enthusiasm.

Page 63: Kasuma Bearings

TRANSFER

Definition

Transfer is a horizontal or lateral movement of an

employee from one job, section, department, shift, plant or

position to another at the same or another place where his

salary, status & responsibility are the same. It generally does

not involve a promotion, demotion or a change in job status

other than movement from one place to another.

KASUMA AUTO ENGG. (P) LTD does transfer its

employees from one department to another. But there is no

transfer of employees from one unit to another as they do not

have another unit. Thus this unit has a transfer policy but

only certain extent.

Page 64: Kasuma Bearings

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

Definition

Appraisal is the evaluation of worth, quality or merit. In

this organization context performance is a systematic

evaluation of personnel by superiors or other familiar with

their performance. Performance Appraisal is also described as

merit rating in which one individual is ranked better or worse

in comparison to other. The basic purpose in this merit rating

is to ascertain an employees’ eligibility for performance,

training & development, salary increase, transfer, discharge,

etc

In KASUMA AUTO ENGG. (P) LTD, performance

appraisal system is undertaken by work performance i.e.

appraisal by result. An employee who performs well in terms

of result is ranked first and accordingly other rank is given,

based on result of work performance. According to this rank,

other decision will be taken i.e. decision of promotion, further

training, etc.

Page 65: Kasuma Bearings

WAGES AND SALARY

ADMINISTRATION

Definition

Wage refers remuneration paid to the employee hourly

or similar period of time.

Salary refers to the weekly or monthly rates paid to

clerical, administrative & professional employees.

Different Kind of Wages

Time wage system:

According to this system an employee earns by the

amount of time the employee spends for the work. Usually

this method is applicable only for the labour staff, for dept.

heads, etc.

Fixed rate system:

According to this system an employee earns the fixed

INTRODUCTION AND

DEFINITION TO MARKETING

Marketing is in essence, taking a view of the whole

business organization and its ultimate objectives. Concern for

marketing must penetrate in all areas of enterprises.

Marketing emphasizes that ‘Customer is the King’ and his

satisfaction must be the ultimate aim of the business activity,

if the business unit desires long-run success – a belief handed

down to prosperity by sound marketing people. Marketing

has been defined in several ways by different writers.

Definition

Marketing is a social and managerial process by which

individuals and groups obtain what they need and want

through creating and exchanging products and value

with others.

According to Philip Kotler, a well-known author in the

area of Marketing, “A human activity directed towards

satisfying needs and wants through exchange

processes.”

Page 79: Kasuma Bearings

The American Marketing Association defines marketing

as’ “The performance of business activities that directs

the flow of goods and services from producer to

consumer or user.”

The following key concepts of marketing emerge from

the above-mentioned definitions: - needs, wants and

demands; products; utility, value and satisfaction; exchange,

transactions and relationships; markets; and marketing and

marketers. A useful distinction can be drawn between needs,

wants and demands.

A human need is a state in which a person feels

deprived of something. A need has to be converted into a

want for product/ service through adequate marketing

strategy, such as promotion. Demands are wants for specific

products that are backed up by an ability and willingness to

buy them. Wants becomes demands when backed up by

purchasing power.

Page 80: Kasuma Bearings

ORGANIZATION OF MARKETING

DEPARTMENT

Definition

Marketing department has to perform various functions

rightly from production to sales to ultimate customers. We

can say that marketing department is an agent between the

product to the ultimate consumer and therefore marketing

department has various functions like product planning,

marketing research, servicing to customer etc..

ManagingDirector

DirectMarketing

Distributors

Dealer

Page 81: Kasuma Bearings

MARKET SEGMENTATIONThe concept of market segmentation is based on the

fact that the markets of commodities are not homogeneous.

Two consumers of the same commodity are never in

conformity with each other as far as their habits, nature,

taste or interests, income, age, mode of purchasing or other

attitudes are concerned. So, all consumers cannot be

satisfied with the same product. In order to facilitate the

marketing of his product the marketing manager, sub-divides

a market into homogeneous sub-sets of customers having

common in one set so that the customers may be served

better with a distinct Marketing Mix. Such selection of sub-

sets as a homogeneous group is called market segmentation.

KASUMA AUTO ENGG. (P) LTD. is producing

industrial products based on customer drawings so the

company does not have to identify customer’s tastes, as the

sole customer only provides taste by providing their drawings

& this company manufacture industrial products according to

their drawings. Although the company is giving their own

opinions about their drawings in order to facilitate ease to

customers. Thus in Marketing Department of this company

there is no concept of market segmentation.

Page 82: Kasuma Bearings

MARKETING RESEARCH

In Modern marketing system, management does not

produce what it can sell but it puts the goods in the market

whatever is desired or required by the consumers.

What are the customer’s desires?

What does customer wants?

These are the burning problem before marketing

executive. Marketing research helps in gathering the useful

information in this regard. Marketing research is very useful

to the organization because based on facts, decisions can be

taken promptly.

Definition

Marketing Research is a systematic gathering, recording

& analyzing the data about marketing problems to facilitate

decision making.

The firm is doing marketing research by themselves i.e.

top management. They have started their bearing plant after

researching. On the basis of market research they have come

into conclusion that there will be more demand of bearings.

Page 84: Kasuma Bearings

PRODUCT MIX

Product is the most tangible & important single

component of the marketing programme. Without a product

there is nothing to distribute, nothing to promote, nothing to

price. Product acts as a vehicle by which a company provides

consumer satisfactions. It is the engine that pulls the rest of

the market programme.

Packing Process

Packing is done in such a way that the product is not

damaged & reaches the customer in good condition.

First of all the finished product is brought in the

inspection room.

Here all the final dimensions of the product are double

checked.

The inspected product is passed through the

demagnetizing device, washing, oiling & cooling (1 hour

approx.)

By this process the excess oil is dried up & anti-rust

layer of oil is formed.

Then the products are arranged series wise in a plastic

wrapper.

Page 85: Kasuma Bearings

The products are properly sealed in a Polly bags to keep

it moisture free.

Finally the product is sent for box packing, where the set

of 5 pics are packed in a single box.

There are also other modes of packing like can packing

or shrink wrapping according to the specifications of the

customer or need of the product.

Labeling & Marking

KASUMA its product in two different brands i.e. Kasuma

& FATE bearings. Kasuma brand is used mainly in local

markets whereas FATE in international market.

Page 86: Kasuma Bearings

PRICE MIXDefinition

Price is the powerful marketing instrument. As a

marketing weapon pricing is the big-gun. Pricing a product is

one of the most important and critical areas in marketing

management. Pricing policies means to determine the

product at how much cost it can be sold. It is also the

standing answer to the firm to recurring problem of pricing.

Price mix also aims at price discrimination on the basis

of the market. It determines the price to be charged from

different customers for the same product in different areas.

Page 87: Kasuma Bearings

DISCOUNT POLICY

distributor:

MRP Price ***

Less: Discount *** 40%

as cash but it gives the distributor a gift depending on the

rate of target sale. For example if the target sale achieved by

the distributor is higher than the firm gives a car, bike, and

an overseas trip to his family and so on…..

Page 88: Kasuma Bearings

PROMOTION MIXDefinition

Promotion is the co-ordinate & self-initiated efforts to

establish channels of information & persuasion to facilitate or

foster the sale of goods or services or the acceptance of

ideas or points of view.

Sales promotion is an important instrument in marketing

to lubricate the marketing efforts. It is not expenditure; it is

an investment, which can pay rich dividends. It aims at

stimulating consumer to purchase at the point of sale &

dealers effectiveness at the retail channel of distribution.

INTRODUCTION AND

DEFINITION TO FINANCE

Finance holds the key of to all activities. The path of success is

greased with money. “Money is an arm or a leg; you either use it

or loose it”

Kenneth Midgley & Ronald Burns state: Financing is the

process of organizing the flow of funds so that a business can

carry out its objectives in the most efficient manner & meet

its obligations a they fall due.

Finance “guides & regulates investments decisions &

expenditure. To get the best out of the available funds is the

major task of finance manager. Finance is the common

denominator for the vast range of corporate objectives & the

major part of any corporate plan must be expressed in the

financial terms.

Financial Management today is recognized as the most

important branch of business administration. Finance

Management provides the best guide for future resources

allocation by a firm. The old concept of finance as treasure

ship has broadened to include the new concept of controller

ship, while the treasurer keeps track of the money the

Page 99: Kasuma Bearings

controller duty is extended to planning analysis &

improvement of every phase of the company’s operation

which are measured with a financial yardstick.

Page 100: Kasuma Bearings

ORGANIZATION OF FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT

Organization of finance department means the division

& the classification of various functions which are to be

performed by the finance department. The place of financial

department in the organization chart depends generally on

the size & the nature of the business.

A finance department organizational setup in this

company is given below:

The nature of finance is so peculiar that it may even

affect the very existence of the concern & therefore the firm

has not decentralized the finance functions & so the control &

administration of the finance is in the hand of the Managing

Director.

FINANCIAL PLANNING

Financial planning means deciding well in advance what

is to be done with regard to finance. It is necessary to have

control on inflow & outflow of cash so that necessary funds

may be available as & when they are required. The highest

earnings can be assured only through sound financial plan. A

faulty financial plan may ruin the business completely. So,

sound planning is necessary to achieve the long term & short

term objectives of the firm & to protect the interests of all

parties concerned.

CAPITALIZATION

Capital plays an important role in any business. At the

time of incorporation of a business, it is the first problem

before the promoters to decide how much capital is to be

required & in what form. It is not an easy task. A financial

plan is to be prepared for the purpose estimating the short

terms & a long-term needs of finance to the company. It

requires proper capitalization. Proper capitalization refers to

the total amount of capital required in the long run for

smooth functioning of the business. The amount of capital at

any time should not exceed nor should it be less than the

amount required. In both the situations, the company will be

loser.

Definition

Capitalization of a corporation comprises the ownership

capital & the borrowed capital as represented by long term

indebtedness. It may also mean the total accounting value of

the capital stock, surplus in whatever form it may appear &

the refunded long-term debt.

An improper capitalization refers to the concept of over

capitalization & under capitalization

Over Capitalization

A company is said to be over capitalized when:

Page 102: Kasuma Bearings

It is in the position to pay dividend or interest on shares

& debentures at fair rates.

Its book value is higher than real value.

Under Capitalization

A company is said to be under capitalized when:

It is not in the position to pay dividend or interest on

shares & debentures at fair rates.

Its book value is lesser than the real value

During the first year of the firm had to face loss due to

high interest burden and huge depreciation & thus it was

marked as under capitalized but than after its best effort it

captured both domestic & international market which helped

the company to overcome the problem of under

capitalization.

Thus we can conclude that KASUMA does not face any

problem of under or over capitalization.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

The main difference between capitalization & capital

structure is in the word “TOTAL” & “PROPORTION”

Capitalization refers to the word total & capital structure to

Page 103: Kasuma Bearings

proportion. Capital structure is decided with regard to debt &

equity. The question to proportion arises because if the

company issue only owned capital than it cannot satisfy the

main objective i.e. to maximize shareholders wealth & if the

company issues a very more part of borrowed capital than it

has to pay compulsory interest & it reduces the shareholders

wealth as it is charge on profits so the company has to chose

a mixture of debt & equity in such a way that it accomplishes

the objectives i.e. maximization of shareholders wealth.

Thus the mixture of debt & equity is known as Capital

Structure.

KASUMA’s Capital Structure is as follows:

Owned Capital

Equity shares – 1, 28, 06, 192

Borrowed Capital

Unsecured Loans – 35, 35,810

MANAGEMENT OF FIXED

ASSETS

Every business requires fixed assets for the running of

the business activities. Fixed assets are those which are fixed

and permanent in nature & they are used by business in its

control operation. In any manufacturing organization fairly a

Page 104: Kasuma Bearings

large portion of corporation funds is invested in fixed assets

to generate healthy returns on investments. Thus it is

necessary that fixed assets are managed effectively &

efficiently.

The company maintains its fixed assets on standard

practice recommended by the Institute of Chartered

Accountants of India (ICAI). The company is providing

depreciation as per straight-line method for the full year as

per rates given in Schedule 14 of the Companies Act, 1956

Page 105: Kasuma Bearings

MANAGEMENT OF WORKING

CAPITAL

Definition

Management of working capital means the problem of

decision regarding availability of liquid funds for meeting the

day-to-day expenses in the working of the firm. The

management of current assets & the management of fixed

assets are important because the fate of most of the business

very largely depends upon the manner in which their working

capital is managed

Objectives of Management Working Capital

Maintenance of working capital at an appropriate level.

Availability of ample funds as & when they are needed.

The Net Working Capital can be found out as below:

Net Working Capital = Current Assets – Current

Liabilities

Page 106: Kasuma Bearings

INVENTORIESDefinition

Inventories are stock of the product, which the company

is manufacturing for sale & components or raw materials that

make up the finished product. The various forms in which

inventories exist in a manufacturing company are –

Raw material

Work in progress

Finished goods

However the levels of three kinds of inventories for a

firm depend on the nature of its business. For a company

manufacturing consumer product, the inventory level will be

higher than that of a company manufacturing industrial

product. But question arise why there is need to hold

inventories.

Page 107: Kasuma Bearings

General motives for holding inventories:

Transactions motive:

It emphasis the need to maintain inventories to facilitate

smooth production & sales operation.

Precautionary motive:

It is necessary to hold of inventories to guard against

the risk of unpredictable changes in demand and supply

forces & other forces.

Speculative motive:

It influences the decision to increase or reduce inventory

levels to take the advantage of price fluctuation.

Page 108: Kasuma Bearings

Management of Inventories in KASUMA

This firm is maintaining the management of inventories.

However as the company is manufacturing industrial as well

as automotive products, the company’s main inventory is raw

material & other i.e. stock of finished product & semi finished

product are less in comparison to that of the consumer

industries. However a question arise in the company what

kind of raw materials are to be stocked as different raw

materials are needed for manufacturing different industrial

products as per customer drawing raw materials are needed

for manufacturing different industrial products as per

customer drawings. For this, the company has kept its eye on

needed of common raw materials & on very frequent orders

& accordingly it fixed some standards of that specific raw

material. If the stock or raw material is less than the

standards or it is nearby the standards the company gives

order promptly.

Page 109: Kasuma Bearings

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

The company has not paid any dividend but the

company had ploughed back its profits for new expansions &

to double its production capacity.

PROFITABILITY

A company should earn profits to survive & grow over a

long period of time. Profits are essential. Profit is the

difference of the revenues & expenses over a period of time.

Profit is the ultimate output of the company. Therefore the

financial manager should continuously evaluate the efficiency

of its company in terms of profits.

Page 110: Kasuma Bearings

LEVERAGE

The employment of an asset or source of funds for

which the firm has to pay a fixed cost or fixed return may be

termed as leverage. The earnings available to the

shareholders as also the risk are affected. If earnings less the

variable costs exceeds the fixed cost or earnings before

interest and taxes exceed the fixed return requirement, the

leverage is called favourable, which they do not, the result is

unfavourable leverage.

There are 2 types of leverage, operating and financial

leverage:

Operating leverage:

It may be defined as the firm’s ability to use fixed

operating cost to magnify the effects of changes in sales on

its earnings before interest and taxes.

Financial leverage:

It is defined as the ability of the firm to use fixed

financial changes in EBIT on the firms earning per share

(EPS).
