Introduction: This is a training done to know the management of various departments of a popularly known tilting wet grinder company, Santha Industrials. Santha Industrials was incorporated in 1964 as a partnership firm. It enjoyed a patent right for tilting wet grinders for a period of 10 years. It was a market leader until it had its patent right. Later, many companies started to manufacture tilting wet grinders. So, it lost its market leadership. Now it has got a few competitors. now it has lost its monopoly.

Santha Industrials aims at giving quality products at a cheaper rate. Even now it has a considerable amount of market share of 60%. It is because of its quality and goodwill. It also manufactures tabletop grinders and home flour mill. These products were also successful but not alike tilting wet grinders. It also provides a few extra attachments. Product Profile: Santha Industrials, keeping pace with the trend has introduced a few special attachments. Some of them are: 1. Dry grinding 2. Kneader 3. Churner 4. Coconut Grater 5. Citrus Juicer Preparing beaten rice, extracting coconut and soya bean milk, husking, preparing rava from wheat are within easy reach now. The rotation of the grinder stone or the speed of the grinder is moderate, so the edible items that are ground in the grinder does not get heated. Therefore the micronutrients in the food are retained and the food lasts longer unlike the other high speed grinders. When the appliance produces heat, it will be passed on to the food that is ground also. So the nutrients are depleted. The roller stone crushes, mixes, pounds and grinds simultaneously. So the grains are ground equally. It also improves the taste of the food. The grinder is designed for continuous working. It lessens the burden of the house hold people and makes the job more interesting. Tilting Wet Grinders: 1. Available in different sizes. 2. Reduces grinding time. 3. Less power consumption. 4. Convenient for both house wives and working women. 5. Economical. 6. Stone components are made from best quality black granite and will not get chipped out or break during operation.

Stores Department

Stores Department Documents maintained: • • • • • • •

GRN RGP RMDC MRS MRN BIN CARD DC

GRN: GOODS RECEIVED NOTE. There are three types of GRN. Purchase GRN: When the materials are purchased from the suppliers and brought into the company the PURCHASE GRN is prepared. This document is used to record the quantity of raw materials purchased from the suppliers. They have some important particulars such as the raw material code, raw material name, date of purchase, time of purchase, etc. Inter department GRN: When any materials are exchanged between the departments, then this INTER UNIT GRN is prepared. This GRN gives proper information about the raw materials that are transferred from one department to the other. End bits GRN: When scrap is given back to stores from production, the END BITS GRN is prepared. This GRN will provide the details about the scrap sent back to the stores at any given time. It will have some

details like, the value of the scrap, the root product from which the scrap has been taken, etc. RGP: RETURNABLE GATE PASS. This challan is prepared for the material which has been given to the subcontractors for sample. RMDC: REJECTED MATERIAL DELIVERY CHALLAN. This challan is prepared when the rejected components are sent back to the supplier. This is done when the components or raw materials have some defects in it. MRS: MATERIAL REQUISITION SLIP. This slip is prepared by the supervisor and sent to the stores for the requisition of material. MRN: MATERIAL RETURN NOTE. If the materials are in excess, then the production department will return the materials to the stores. This slip is prepared by the stores manager. BIN CARD: BIN CARD is maintained by the store keeper for the correct stock balance of the material. When the materials are given for production then the store keeper is reduces the stock of the material, in the material issued column. When the materials are purchased, the store keeper increases the stock of the material. This bin card maintained separately for each material. DELIVERY CHALLAN: The delivery challan is maintained for the purpose of recording the amount of goods delivered to the dealers. Once when the goods are sold to the dealers this delivery challan is prepared.

How the raw materials reach the production department: When there is a need for the raw material, the company orders for it to the suppliers. When the raw materials reach the stores department the purchase GRN is prepared and it is received by the employees. The stores manager checks the documents and then, signs for the company. Now the stock level will get increased. When the production department needs the raw materials, the production manager will request the stores manager to send the raw materials required. The stores manager prepares the inter department GRN and then sends it to the production department. Now, when the raw materials are received by the production manager, he checks whether he has received the required amount. Then, he sends the raw materials to the production unit to proceed with the production process.

Quality Control Section

Quality Control Section The quality control department is a very small department, which checks the quality of both the raw materials and the finished products. When the raw materials enter the company, it is brought to the quality control department to check the quality of the raw material purchased. There will not be many flaws in the raw materials, because the company purchases the raw materials from the suppliers who are very loyal to the company. Some tests are made to check the quality of the goods that are purchased. When the quality is approved by the quality control department, it is sent to the stores department for further procedures. When the motors are manufactured, it is again checked by the quality control personnel for the proper working of the motor. There are some formulae to check the motor. Some of them are: a) Cold resistance = 15.5 at 26 degrees c. b) R 75 = 18.4 c) E = I^2*R75(no load A^2 *75 d) Efficiency = Rotor output / stator input e) Power factor = Stator input / (V*I) f) Product efficiency = Power factor * E g) Slip = Actual Rpm. / Single Rpm. h) Fixed loss = no load watt – E i) Full load loss = full load A^2 *R75 j) Total loss = fixed loss + full load loss k) Rotor input = Stator input – total loss l) Rotor output = (rotor * input * full load Rpm at 50 Hz) / single Rpm When the motor satisfies all the above formulae, the further proceedings like, tilting grinder assembly, home flour mill assembly, table top grinder assembly are done. When the appliance is assembled, again it is taken to the quality control department for checking. Now, the strength of the fibre glass

body, the stand, the clamp and the working of the motor is checked. When all the checking is over, it is sent for packing. Packing is a small process wherein the grinder is packed inside the cardboard sheet. The thermocole is kept besides the grinder to prevent damages that are likely to occur during the transportation. A note is sent to the production department stating that the products were free from flaws. This statement will also state that the products were sent to the despatch department.
