PREFACE

It is said that without theory, practice is blind and without practice theory ismeaningless.

Hence practical training has been made integral part of the management education

in India. The summer training programmers are designed to give a manager the

future of the corporate happenings and work culture.

It exposes the potential of the manager of the future to the actual tune of the

working environment present is dynamic organization.

Personnel management is that part of management concerned with the people at

work and with their relationships within the organization.

Training is the process of increasing the knowledge and skill for doing a particular

job. It is an organized procedure by which people learn knowledge and skill for a

definite purpose. The purpose of training is basically to bridge the gap between job

requirements and present competency of an employee.

In this project, I have tried to learn the use of SAP in HR Department of the

Ansaldo STS India.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES

Performance appraisal is an objective assessment of an individuals performance against

well defined benchmarks.

According to Garry Desseler, A process that consolidates goal setting, performance

appraisal and development into single, common system, the aim of which is to ensure that

the employees performance is supporting the companys strategic aims.

WHY PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT?

The increasing use of Performance management reflects several things. It reflects, first,

the popularity of the Total Quality Management (TQM) concepts advocated several years

ago by management experts like W. Edwards Deming. Basically, Deming argued that an

employees performance is more a function of things like training, communication, tools,

and supervision than of his or her own motivation.

Performance Management emphasis on the integrated nature of goal setting, appraisal,

and development reflects this assumption. Second, it reflects the fact that a vast array of

studies that traditional performance appraisal are often not just useless but

counterproductive. Third, Performance management as a process also explicitly

recognizes that in todays globally competitive industrial environment, every employees

efforts must focus like a laser on helping the company to achieve its strategic goals. In

that regard adopting an integrated; performance management approach to guiding,

developing, and appraising employees also aids the employers continuous improvement

efforts. Continuous improvementrefers to a management philosophy that requires

employers to continuously set and relentlessly meet ever-higher quality, cost, delivery,

and availability goals.

OBJECTIVE OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

Data relating to performance assessment of employees are recorded, stored, and used for

several purposes. The main purposes of employee assessment are:

1

1. To effect promotion based on competence and performance.

2. To confirm the services of probationary employees upon their completing the

probationary period satisfactorily.


6/36

3. To assess the training and development needs of employees.

4. To decide upon a pay rise where (as in the unorganized sector) regular pay scales

have not been fixed.

5. To let the employees know where they stand insofar as their performance is

concerned and to assist them with constructive criticism and guidance for the

purpose of their development.

6. To improve communication. Performance appraisal provides a format for dialogue

between the superior and the subordinate, and improves understanding of personal

goals and concerns. This can also have the effect of increasing the trust between

the rater and the ratee.

7. Finally, Performance appraisal can be used to determine whether HR programs

such as selection, training, and transfers have been effective or not.

Broadly, performance appraisal serves four objectives-(1) Developmental uses, (2)

Administrative uses/decisions, (3) Organizational maintenance/ objectives, and (4)

Documentation purposes.

TYPES OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM:

Graphic Rating Scale Method

The Graphic Rating Scale is the simplest and still most popular technique for appraising

performance. A Graphic Rating Scale lists traits (such as quality and reasonability) and a

range of performance values (from unsatisfactory to outstanding) for each trait. The

supervisor rates each subordinate by circling or checking the source that best describes

his or her performance for each trait. The assigned values for the traits are then totaled.

Alternation Ranking Method

Ranking employees for the best to worst on a trait or traits is another option. Since, it is

usually easier to distinguish between the worst and best employees, and Alternation

2

Ranking Method is most popular. First, list all subordinate to be rated, a then close out the

names of any not known well enough to rank. Then, on a form the employees who is

highest on the characteristics being measured and also the one who is the lowest. Then

choose the next highest and the next lowest, alternating between highest and lowest until

all employees have been ranked.


7/36

Paired Comparison Method

The Paired Comparison Method helps make the Ranking Method precise. For every trait

(quantity of work, quality of work, and so on), you pair and compare every subordinate

with every other subordinate.

Suppose you have five employees to rate. In the Paired Comparison Method, you make a

chart, of all possible pairs of employees for each trait. Then, for each trait, indicate (with

a+ or a-) who is the best employee of the pair. Next, add up the no. of +s for each

employee.

Forced Distribution Method

The Forced Distribution Method is similar to grading on a curve. With this method, you

place predetermined percentage of ratees into performance categories.

For example, you may decide to distribute employees as follows.

15% High Performers

20% High-Average Performers

30% Average Performers

20% Low-Average Performers

15% Low Performers

Critical Incident Method

With the Critical Incident Method, the supervisor keeps a log of positive and negative

examples (Critical Incidents) of a subordinates work-related behavior. Every six months

or so, supervisor and subordinate meet to discuss the latters performance, using the

incidents as example.

3

This method has several advantages. It provide actual example of good and poor

performance the supervisor can use to explain the persons rating. It ensures that the

manager or the supervisor think about the subordinates appraisal all during the year. The

rating does not just reflect the employees most recent performance. The list hopefully

provides examples of what specifically the subordinate can do to eliminate any

deficiencies. However, without some numerical rating, this method is not too useful for

comparing employees or making salary decisions.

Its useful to accumulate incidents that are tied to employees goals.


8/36

Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale

A Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS) combines the benefits of narratives,

Critical Incidents, and quantified (Graphic Rating Type) scales by anchoring a rating scale

with specific behavioral examples of good or poor performance. Its proponents say it

provides better, more equitable appraisals than do the other tools to we discussed.

Developing BARS typically requires five steps:

1. Generate Critical Incident. Ask person who know the job (jobholders, and/or

supervisor) to describe specific illustration (critical incidence) of effective and

ineffective performance

2. Develop Performance Dimensions. Have these people cluster the incidents into a

smaller set of (5 or 10) performance dimensions, and define each dimension, such as

salesmanship skill.

3. Reallocate Incidents. Another group of people who also know the job then reallocate

the original critical incidents. They get the cluster definition and the critical incidents,

and must reassign each incident to the cluster they think it fits best. Retain a critical

incident if some percentage (usually 50% to 80%) of this second group assigns it to

the same cluster as did the first group.

4. Scale The Incidents. This second group then rates the behavior described by the

incidents as to how effectively or ineffectively it represents performance on the

dimension (7- to 9- points scales are typical).

5. Develop A Final Instrument. Choose about six or seven of the incidents as the

dimensions behavioral anchors.

4

Management by Objectives (MBO)

Stripped to its basics, Management by Objectives requires the manager to set specific

measurable goals with each employee and then periodically discuss the latters progress

towards these goals. You could engage in a modest and informal MBO program with

subordinates by jointly setting goals and periodically providing feedback. However, the

term MBO generally refers to a comprehensive and formal organization wide goal setting

and appraisal program consisting of six steps:

1. Set the organizations goals: Establish, based upon the firms strategic plan, and


9/36

organization wide plan for next year and set specific company goals.

2. Set developmental goals:Next department heads take these company goals (like

boost 2004 profits by 20 %) and, with there superiors, jointly set goals for their

developments.

3. Discuss departmental goals: Department heads discuss the departments goals with

all subordinates, often at a department wide meeting. They ask employees to set their

own preliminary individual goals; in other words, how can each employee contribute

to the departments goals?

4. Define expected result (set individual goals): Department heads and their

subordinates set short-term individual performance targets.

5. Performance reviews: Department heads compare each employees actual and

targeted performance.

6. Provide feedback: Department heads and employees discuss and evaluate the later

progress.

360 Degree Appraisal system

Traditionally, performance appraisal was just limited to two main persons involved in the

feedback process - namely the supervisor and the employee. The top-down approach,

the usual performance appraisal jamboree in corporate, is conducted where the supervisor

and the employee discuss one-to-one on broad swathe of issues pertaining to the latter's

performance out comes. This traditional approach, involving supervisor and employee, is

riddled with the problems of subjectivity, bIAS,es and halo effect. The traditional top-

5

down approach predicated on single source of feedback (i.e. supervisor) suffers on

account of limited knowledge and inaccurate view of the not-so-competent supervisor.

Many a time, supervisors also try to avert being on collision course with the sub-ordinates

and may obscure the picture by giving inputs that may be entirely untrue. Since

supervisors are far removed from the flow of work, they may find it tough to give feed

back hinged on actual observation. Even if the supervisor intends to give a positive

criticism he may still hold himself in the tracks for want of actual incident to buttress his

opinion.

Half the time an individual does no get a real picture and gain an actual glimpse into the


10/36

kind of person one is. An employee's ability to identify core strengths and quelling

weaknesses gets irredeemably impaired. The information asymmetry about our

competencies, skills and performance related outcomes strait jackets the development,

stultifies the growth and limits the perspectives. The question that begs an answer is: is

there a way forward? Is there a feed back approach where the inputs about an individuals

performance can be sourced from multiple levels? Will it be possible for the individual

to get feed back about his/her managerial and behavioral dimension from multiple

sources? The answer to all these questions are deafeningly loud and crystal clear - 360-

degree feedback holds the key. In today's competitive environment, gathering information

from all directions to assess one's standing has become an urgent imperative and

compelling necessity. In addition to this, the corporate culture is on the cusp of profound

evolution. There is an increased thrust on teamwork and delivering a world-class

customer service. Employees development needs has become the byword among

businesses. In a highly commoditized job market, companies are using every thing at the

command to attract and retain the best talent. Businesses are helping employees to

replenish their skills to stay relevant in the evolving times. Companies are looking to

ways and means to optimize and measure employees and companys performance. The

trajectory of these developments has shifted the focus from single source feed back

system to multiple source feed back system.

Advantages of 360 degree feed back

360 degree feed back, if implemented properly, will bestow many benefits up on the

organization.

6

Feed back that emanates from various source, leaves little room for any

discrimination or bIAS,. In appraisal exercises, any discriminative slant of the

supervisor can be nullified if the multi source feed back shows that the supervisor

input is not in conjunction with that of co-workers and customers and other

constituents

Feed back originating from multi sources can give a glimpse in to individuals

performance improvement needs.

Enhanced cohesion in the team, better communication and improved productivity


11/36

levels are the positive fall out of implementing 360 degree feedback

Front line employees can hone their customer skills to near perfection owing to the

feed back of the customers. This may enhance the customer service levels.

Subordinates, derive enormous sense of importance and empowerment when asked to

provide feed back about their superiors

Decisions making percolates down to the lowest and lowest echelons of an

organization, making it truly participative

Fosters a very open culture where giving and receiving feed back is common place

360 degree helps the organization to zero in on and leverage the overall strengths.

Increased focus on internal customer satisfaction

Brings in more objectivity to the appraisal process and complements the traditional

appraisal system

360 feed back is an effective tool for identifying development needs

360 degree can work wonders if it is properly implemented in organizations. For 360

degrees to work the organization climate should be supportive. In a wrong environment if

360 degree is implemented without providing training to the raters to enable them handle

the process effectively, it can have a deleterious effect on the well-being of the

organization. If 360 degree is tied to the strategic initiatives of the organization, it may

have a winning process on their hands.

Amalgamation


12/36

Year 2003, witnessed completion of amalgamation of Rajasthan State Mineral

Development Corporation Limited (RSMDC), another Rajasthan State Government PSU

with Rajasthan State Mines & Minerals Limited (RSMML) was issued by the

Department of Company Affairs, Government of India (Order No. S.O.207(E) dated

19th February 2003) under Section 396 of the Companies Act, 1956 and the same has

come into effect from 20th February, 2003, the date of its publication in the Gazette of

India (Extraordinary).

Strategic Business Units & Profit Centres

After amalgamation, the following four mineral based Strategic Business Units & Profit

Centers (SBU & PC) namely Rock Phosphate, Lignite, Gypsum and Limestone have

been set up as a part of corporate restructuring: -

Strategic Business Unit and Profit Centre Rockphosphate at Udaipur.

Strategic Business Unit and Profit Centre Gypsum at Bikaner

Strategic Business Unit and Profit Centre Limestone at Jodhpur

8

Strategic Business Unit and Profit Centre Lignite at Jaipur

Rock Phosphate continued its prime position in the business profile of the Company and

catered to almost 94% of the indigenous demand. The capacity of industrial beneficiation

plant was increased from 1500 TPD to 3000 TPD and the production got streamlined.

The production of lignite was streamlined at Giral and the company is gearing up fast for

providing one million tonnes of lignite for the lignite based thermal power plant at Giral

under state owned Company, Rajasthan Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd. Being pioneer in the

lignite field, RSMML has ensured its strong presence in the lignite based power sector in

Rajasthan. Dispatches of gypsum touched 2.88 million ton in 2007-08. Renewed

emphasis on environmental management was stressed upon for the management of

gypsum mines. Supply of SMS grade limestone to the steel plants of India touched the

record level of 2.09 million tones in 2007-08.

In the year 2007-08, company has achieved the profit before tax Rs. 186.75 crores in

comparison to profit before tax of Rs. 156.11 crores in 2006-07. The Company started a

number of R&D activities to further strengthen its R&D activities. Generous

contributions were made for creation of life saving medical infrastructure in 8 project


13/36

districts. The dividend of Rs. 15, 51, 03,000/- was declared for the year 2007-08.

RSMML today has broken away from its monopolistic moorings and welcomes

competition. From a small backwaters company, it is now rated as a technologically

advanced company and an innovator. It boasts of a highly trained and competent

workforce and strong financial base. It has established itself as the most successful public

sector company in Rajasthan.

Board of Director

The present constitution of the Board is as under:

1. Smt. Kushal Singh, IAS,, Chairman Chief Secretary to the Government of Rajasthan,

Jaipur

2. Shri C S Rajan, IAS, Principal Secretary to the Government of Rajasthan, Department

of Industries, Jaipur

9

3. Shri S Ahmed, IAS, Principal Secretary to the Government of Rajasthan,

Department of Agriculture, Jaipur

4. Shri C.K. Mathew, IAS, Principal Secretary to the Government of Rajasthan,

Department of Finance, Jaipur

5. Dr. Govind Sharma, IAS, Principal Secretary to the Government of Rajasthan,

Department of Mines & Petroleum, Jaipur

6. Shri A.C. Wadhawan, Ex-CMD, Hindustan Zinc Ltd, New Delhi

7. Shri Akhil Arora, IAS, Managing Director, Udaipur

OPERATIONS

The Organization has its operations in four different departments:

1. Mining (Phosphate, Lignite, Limestone, Gypsum)

2. Beneficiation

3. Wind Power

4. Biodiesel

MINING PHOSPHATE

The major activity of RSMML is the mining of Rockphosphate ore. It operates one of the

largest and fully mechanised mines in the country at Jhamarkotra, 26 Kms. from Udaipur

and Kanpur Group of Mines located 15 Kms. from Udaipur is upcoming as a second


14/36

Rockphosphate complex in Rajasthan.

In India the economy being predominantly based on agriculture, the fertiliser production

plays a pivotal role. Only about 35% to 40% of the requirement of raw material for

phosphatic fertilser production is being met through indigenous sources and the rest is

met through import in the form of rock phosphate, phosphoric acid & direct fertilisers. In

such a situation Jhamarkotra plays an important role by contributing 98% of rock

phosphate production of India.

10

Rock Phosphate mines at Jhamarkotra & Kanpur Group of Mines are complex deposits.

Mining these rock phosphate deposits is far more difficult than that in most parts of the

world. Despite the complexities of the deposit, excellent results have been achieved by

continuous innovations. With an annual rock handling of about 20 million tonnes,

Jhamarkotra is probably the largest open cast mine in India outside the steel and coal

sectors. On technical fronts the problem of ground water had affected the mining

operations, until an effective dewatering scheme was evolved and implemented. The

geometry of the ore body i.e thin and sharply dipping had resulted in long and narrow pits

with great depth extension, which involves very high stripping ratio with high lead and

lift for waste and mineral. Despite these entire problems Jhamarkotra project could

sustain the very difficult periods because of its commitment towards scientific approach

for exploitation of the deposit with planned development of the pits.

The open pit mining method is being followed at Jhamarkotra Mine & Kanpur Group of

Mines for exploitation of the mineral. The working levels are kept dry by continuous

pumping of ground water through tube-wells constructed on periphery of the pit limit.

MINING LIGNITE

The state of Rajasthan is endowed with large lignite deposits in the country after

Tamilnadu & Gujarat. In the three districts of the state viz. Bikaner, Nagaur and Barmer,

geological reserves of more than one billion tonnes have been confirmed so far by

exploratory drilling. Beside, a deep seated reserve of lignite suitable for underground

lignite gasification also exists in the state. The state is also having lignite blocks suitable

for development of Coal Bed Methane projects.

RSMML is a State Government Enterprise involved with the work of development of


15/36

Lignite deposit for mercantile sale in cement, textile, and brick kiln etc industries and for

the ultimate end use of power generation by open cast mining or underground lignite

gasification.

RSMML at present is operating two lignite mines one at Giral in district Barmer and

another at Kasnau-Matasukh in district Nagaur.

Giral (Barmer)

Giral mine is situated near village Giral, 43 Km from Barmer district in western

Rajasthan. Giral mines, the first modern OPENCAST Lignite mine in Rajasthan

11

(after closure of Palana underground mine in 1967) was started by the erstwhile

RSMDC in the year 1994. The commercial production of Lignite from this mine,

with envisaged capacity of 300,000 MT per year, was started in May 1995. At

Giral mines, the production and the allied mining activities are being executed in

highly scientific and technically sound manner so as to achieve excellence in all

spheres with particular emphasis on bringing a great degree of consumer

satisfaction.

Matasukh & Kasnau (Nagaur)

Matasukh-Kasnau mines are situated near villages Kasnau & Matasukh of Nagaur

district in the central Rajasthan, which is 42 Km from district head quarter. The

commercial production of Lignite from these mines, was commenced from

November 2003 with envisaged capacity of 12, 00,000 MT per year. These mines

are located in central part of Rajasthan, thus having better accessibility to markets

in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab. Lignite of these mines has added advantage

of low sulphur and ash contents.

Lignite & its application

Lignite, a premature variety of coal is a dark brown to black combustible mineral

formed over millions of years by the partial decomposition of plant material

subject to increased pressure and temperature in an airless atmosphere. In simple

terms, lignite is a brown coal. In its natural form, lignite is porus, light in weight

and contains a high percentage of moisture and volatile matters as compared to

Fixed Carbon. Because of this, its transportation, over long distances is


16/36

uneconomical. Therefore, this fuel is ideally suitable for running Lignite based

power generation plant located close to pit head.

MINING LIMESTONE

Sanu Limestone Unit, Jaislamer

High quality Limestone is a technological necessity for Steel Plants with the basic oxygen

furnance technology where it is used as a flux. After the closure of limestone quarries at

Dehradun by the historic judgment of the Honble Supreme Court the limestone from

Jaisalmer found enormous importance in the Steel Industry. It was the recommendation of

the technical team constituted by Govt. of India in the year 1986 after assessing the

12

various limestone deposits available in the country that the low silica limestone available

from Jaisalmer is the best suited for use in the Steel Industry. Based on the

recommendation mining of Limestone was commenced by the company since 1988 for

supply to different Steel Plants from their mines at Sanu. Jaisalmer limestone is best

suitable for use in Steel Industry because of low silica and high decrepitation index.

Hence the total production is dispatched to various Steel Plants of SAIL and TISCO. The

company is the largest producer & supplier of steel grade limestone in the country.

This high grade, low silica, hard compact limestone is available in Khuiyala formation of

Eocene age of Tertiary period. The company has around 20.00 square KM area near

village Sanu at a distance of 56 Km from Jaisalmer on Jaisalmer Ramgarh road & is

well connected with all weather tar road maintained by Border Road Organization.

The total mineral reserves under the areas held with the company are167 Million Tonnes

of S.M.S grade limestone & 2153 Million Tonnes of Cement grade limestone. Company

has enhanced its mineral reserve status by applying few more areas in the same belt.

Open cast mining method with single bench, deploying HEMM and conducting deep hole

blasting is in practice. The sizing of ROM limestone is carried out by four nos. fully

mechanized Sizing & screening plants of the total capacity 20.00 lac MT per annum. The

different size products are dispatched from mines as well as by rail from Jaisalmer

Railway sidings of the company. Jaisalmer is the terminus Railway station of the North-

Western Railway connected with Broad gauge link.

The limestone deposits of Gotan are a part of the famous Sojat-Bilara-Nagaur limestone

belt of Vindhyan Supergroups. Mining of limestone at Gotan was started by company in

the year 1974.The company has three leases in the name of Gotan-I, Gotan-II & Basani

with total area 4915.18 hects covering mines of Heera, Sawai,Sona, Dhanappa, Kerli,

Keria, Ganthiyala & Pawani. These mines are around 10 KM from Gotan. The limestone

deposit of Sawai-Heera & Sona mines of Basni lease are considered to be the best

available deposit in the entire Sojat-Bilara-Nagaur belt. The deposit contains very low

silica, high calcium and moderate decrepitation index. All the grades of limestone is

produced from these mines & supplied to steel plant, chemical plant, white & gray

cement plant & local kilns of limestone.

Mining is carried out by mechanized two bench opencast mining method, deploying

HEMM and deep hole blasting. Sizing & loading is carried out by manual means. The

company is planning to commission its own sizing & screening plant at mines of the

capacity 40 TPH during current financial year 2005-06. The different size products are

MINING - GYPSUM

We are the countrys leading producer of natural Gypsum and Selenite producing about

1.0 million tonnes per year. These are mined in the heart of the Thar desert areas where

the working conditions are very harsh. The deposits are shallow and scattered over large

areas. Most of the land is owned by private cultivators.

The mining of Gypsum of purity of +70% CaSO4, 2H2O is a co-operative effort between

the land owners and RSMML. The farmers gives up his gypsum bearing land to RSMML

in return for an assured share of profits. After mining, the Company improves the land

condition and returns back to the farmer for cultivation.

Gypsum fulfils the demands of the cement industries and powder Gypsum is used by

farmers as a direct fertilizer for reconditioning of alkaline soils for reducing alkalinity and

improving crop production. Selenite is a naturally occurring crystalline form of high

purity Gypsum and is used extensively in the ceramics industries and to manufacture

surgical grade Plaster of Paris.

BENEFICIATION

Looking to the scarce rock phosphate resources in India, RSMML has put continuous

effort for utilization of its low grade ore resources, which are abundant at Jhamarkotra but

require beneficiation before its utilization by fertiliser industries as raw material.

Intensive research was carried out for ten years and a breakthrough in processing

technology was achieved when this LGO was enriched to produce a very high-grade

concentrate (+34%P2O5), rated as equal to or better than any naturally occurring ore.

WIND POWER

With a view of diversification activities and to protect environment degradation, RSMML

has entered into wind power generation business in 2001. RSMML has commissioned

14x350Kw wind energy turbine on 70 mtr. high lattice towers at Badabagh area of

Jaisalmer. The wind farm at Badagarh was expanded with additional 14x350Kw WET's

in May 2002. In 2004, RSMML has commissioned 4x1250Kw WETs in Pohra Village of

Jaisalmer. 6x1250 Kw (7.5 MW) was added in March 2006. In last fiscal year 25x600

KW (15 MW) windfarm is installed at Bharmsar- Pohra at Jaisalmer. In year 2007-

08 RSMML has installed 22.5MW (18 x 1250 Kw) wind farm at Hansuwa Satta Gorera

at Jaisalmer. Now the total wind farm capacity of RSMML is 74.8 MW. Annual


22/36

Generation of grid quality power is now 900 lacs Kwh from echo friendly wind power.

Further Company is in process of setting additional wind farm in 2009.

The company is having a 20 years power purchase agreement with the state for sale of

wind power. RSMML is also using the wind power for its captive use at Jhamarkotra

mines in Udaipur district.

Registration of Companys Wind Power Project with Executive Board of Clean

Development Mechanism under UNFCCC (Kyoto Protocol) has been done in April

2006. RSMML has earned Euro worth Rs. 8.0 crores by selling 80000 CERs in

international market.

BIO DIESEL

Developing the vast degraded waste-land of Rajasthan as a viable resource for generating

renewable energy by cultivating Jetropha curcas (Ratanjot), inspired RSMML

management to explore the possibility of putting up a Jetropha based bio-diesel pilot

plant in Jhamarkotra Rock Phosphate project, Udaipur, as a part of companys continuing

quest for better environment management.

Udaipur division is naturally endowed with wild Jetropha groves with pockets, yielding

good quality seeds. However, to encourage farmers to plant Jetropha on large scale,

confidence about getting reasonable price and assured market, need to be built up.

RSMML management adopted a strategy of end product driven growth, in which farmers

will directly feel the marketability and quality of the end product, i.e. superior bio-diesel

used in mining machinery (thereby creating a strong and permanent demand) which

would encourage them to plant more trees. Being critically dependent on seed price,

better production economies of bio-diesel can only be achieved if seeds are available

aplenty at a support price remunerative to the supplier villager.

RSMML and other mining companies consume huge quantity of fossil fuel for mining

operations. Partial replacement of such petro-oil by bio-diesel will open up effective rural

employment on a major scale and will also help in reducing pollution.

Plantation of Jetropha will also take care of greening of mined out land in the leases of

the companies.

Management of RSMML was aware that Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research


23/36

Institute, Bhavnagar, Gujarat, (A CSIR Laboratory), in association with Daimler Chrysler

had carried out a road test of bio-diesel, derived from Jetropha by using one E-220 CDI

Mercedes car in April, 2004. The test was reported to be a success. Shri R.K.Mishra,

IAS,, MD, RSMML visited CSMCRI in April 2004 and formulated the project after

discussion with Director, CSMCRI. 3000 kg of wild Jetropha seeds from Udaipur were

sent to CSMCRI laboratory for producing bio-diesel.

With the first batch of bio-diesel received from CSMCRI, RSMML started using blended

HSD with 10% addition of bio-diesel. One school bus and a jeep were continuously used

for months, using 10-D blended oil. Performance observed was encouraging.

19

RSMML also used 368 litres of neat bio-diesel for running a 850 HP HEMM (85T BEML

make dump truck) for 4.7 hours on a test mode. Again, the performance exceeded

expectation. The company also arranged for the testing of bio-diesel so received from

CSMCRI at Bharat Earth Movers Ltd., Bangalore (a Central PSU) for an independent

evaluation. BEML submitted a detailed report based on short run testing of the sample

sent by RSMML and concluded that the results were satisfactory.

Research by Daimler Chrysler shows that, though heat value of bio-diesel is 15% less

than HSD, yet there is minor reduction in mileage.

The board of RSMML approved to set up a pilot bio-diesel plant with 1 TPD seed

processing capacity (260-270 Lt. Bio diesel per day) to evaluate the economics of

operation and to get familiar with the technology.

After confirming the source of seed to the quantum of 3,50,000 kg (350 tons) for the

initial year, RSMML signed an agreement with CSMCRI for transfer of technology and

establishment of plant in Jhamarkotra complex at the cost of Rs. 15.87 lacs. RSMML

paid Rs 10.00 lacs as the transfer of technology fee to CSMCRI and Rs. 9.00 lacs for

consultancy.

The first bio-diesel pilot plant of Rajasthan was commissioned in the last week of March,

2006. The performance guarantee tests were conducted from 26.04.2006 to 28.04.2006.

Bio diesel yield obtained with respect to refined oil was 94.85%. The seeds produced oil

at an average of 27%.

Thereafter, the plant is in successful production and has already produced more than


24/36

11000 litres of high quality bio-diesel. The target is to produce and use 1 lakh litre by the

end of the current financial year. Since RSMML technical team has mastered production

technique, scaling up in immediate future is not really a challenge. The main issue is to

get high quality certified saplings in large number to take up massive plantation (75%

Jetropha and 25% fruit bearing trees).

Bio-diesel produced at Jhamarkotra has the following salient features :

Description

Bio-Diesel EN 14214 Specifications

Free Glycerin 0.052 0.2 max.

Total Glycerin 0.13 0.25 max.

FFA% 0.16 0.5 max.

20

Sulphur (ppm wt) 0.1 10 max.

Carbon Residue (Micro) % Wt 0.04 (Trace) Trace

Moisture (ppm) 450 500

From the table depicted, it is clear that the bio-diesel produced by RSMML is superior to

EN 14214 specifications.

RSMML is using this bio-diesel as an additive for HSD @ 10% and the fuel is being

used by the company in:

Light vehicles (jeeps, small pick ups etc.)

Light commercial vehicles like ambulances, fire tenders

HEMM water sprinklers 380 HP

HEMM heavy dumpers 850 HP

RSMML requested M/s Cummins Diesel Sales & Service (India) Ltd., Pune, the

manufacturers of high capacity diesel engines for evaluation of engines in field

conditions. M/s Cummins Diesel Sales & Services (India) Ltd., Pune, have commenced

elaborate study on the engine performance and the first report is expected within six

months. RSMML has not encountered any problem so far in using the blended bio-diesel

in various categories of engines.

From 7th to 9th August, a new Chevorlet Travera No. RJ-27-TA-0282 hired by the

company travelled 1111 kms. (Udaipur Jaipur to and fro including city drive)


25/36

consuming 80 litres of neat RSMML bio-diesel registering an average mileage of 13.8

Kms/lt with AC and at an average speed of 90 km. per hour. There was very little

emission and the ride was absolutely smooth. The test attested the efficacy of RSMML

bio-diesel on road condition.

Probably for the first time, a technologically advanced vehicle covered such a long

distance using neat bio-diesel on roads of Rajasthan.

By-products of Bio-diesel

Number of by-products like high quality soap, nitrogen rich oil-cake, high purity glycerin

and K2SO4, a potent fertilizer, are also obtained.

21

RSMML has already consumed 2350 Kg. (valued at Rs. 24/Kg.) of soap in the rock

phosphate beneficiation plant. The oil cake will be sold in the market for production of

bio-fertilizers. There are already several commercial enquiries for oil cakes received by

the Company. Glycerin and Potassium Sulphate are high value by-products, which will be

sold after considerable accumulation.

Taking into account all factors, the cost of production of high quality bio-diesel is around

Rs. 27.50, at a cost of Rs. 7/- per Kg. of seed.

RSMML has also distributed 2.5 lakhs saplings of Jatropha plant procured from Forest

Department in all Panchayat Samities of district Udaipur, free of cost.

RSMML has ambitious plans to enter into large scale plantation of high yielding variety

of Jatropha Curcas in association with Biodiesel Authority of Rajasthan, Forest

Department and local village Panchayats.

The pilot plant has given enough exposure in terms of production methods, quality of

bio-diesel, its test in real time and dynamics of production economics. RSMMLs

experience will be helpful for Government to decentralize production of high quality biodiesel

synchronized with local collection of wild seeds in a number of tribal panchayats.

Hypothesis

The following hypothesis are developed and tested in the present study. The present study

was conducted to figure out the relationship between Productivity and Performance

Appraisal. For this purpose a questionnaire was distributed among the executives which

was to be rated by them. To have scientific view of various variables of productivity and

performance appraisal hypothesis has been framed in this way:

H0 Productivity and Performance Appraisal depend on each other.

H1 Productivity and Performance Appraisal do not depend on each other.

Pr = Po OR Pr =/= Po

Statistical Tools

To test the given hypothesis and presentation of survey findings, the appropriate statistical

technique are used i.e. Mean, Standard Deviation, t-test (Test of significance).

Limitation of the study

Present study is restricted to RSMML, Udaipur(Corporate office)

Observation and study is quite limited and could not be explored to various areas.

Study was limited to the executives only

Executives (i.e. E7 level) were out of reach because of their busy schedule and

their frequent visits to the site operations.

The confidential attitude of the organization led a little scope for the study.

33

Finding


35/36

Finding of any research work is noting it is simply the inferences drawn from the results

of any analysis work. In the present work whatever, analysis work has been done, on the

basis of that the researcher draws the results and findings safely.

Finding regarding the Productivity-Performance Appraisal dependency

There were total two samples taken for the study one of the sample drawn from the range

of E1 to E4 grade of executives and another sample was drawn from the range of E5 to

E6 grade of executives.

Sample size was 10 from both the Population size.

Overall mean of the E1 to E4 executives came to be 52.3 and the mean of the E5 to E6

grade came to be 50.5, and calculated t value = 0.2377 falling within the acceptance

region (0.05 level of significance). The critical value of t =2.101. Here the H0 (i.e. null

hypothesis) is accepted, which shows that there is a dependency or we can say that there

is a relationship between the productivity and performance appraisal.

All the executives have a same thought over the productivity performance appraisal

relationship.

Conclusions

Performance appraisal is a process of estimating or judging the values, excellence,

qualities, or status of some person or thing. The same holds true for the organization

under study. The following conclusion is drawn from it:

1. The performance appraisal system in RSMML is promotion oriented.

2. More of the people feel it should be productivity based not promotion oriented.

3. The present performance appraisal system looks like a scientific method, but

still it is not scientific because the ratings are not quantifiable in terms of

points/marks.

4. A fair for all approach is being used by the reporting & reviewing officers.

5. The criterion instituted looks fit for workers not the executives.

34

Suggestions

Following are certain suggestions are being drawn from the study, observation and

interviews.

1. The present system should be more transparent and objective.


36/36

2. The role of the reporting officer should be played by the immediate supervisor of

appraise, who is in direct contact.

3. There should be a mid term appraisal system to monitor the performance of the

executive.

4. Performance appraisal system should be made scientific by introducing the marks

or grades.

5. Executives should be communicated about whatever rating he gets.

6. There should be formal counseling session feedback mechanism not only for

Unsatisfactory rating but also for other ratings.

7. Performance appraisal system for the workmen should also be introduced. It will

prove to be a motivational tool for delivering the results to the best of their

capability.

8. The present appraisal system should be more productivity based not the promotion

oriented.

9. The trainees should be allotted office work as well so that they can get the

experience of corporate world.
