INTRODUCTION
India fertilizer industry is one industry with immense scopes in the future. India is primarilyagriculture oriented country and its economy is highly dependent on the agrarian produce. The
majority of the populace of India lives in rural areas and the foremost occupation in the villages is
agriculture. Developments pertaining to different industries are being made on a massive scale to
change the country's economy from an agrarian one to a industrial one. It is extremely important
for the fertilizer industry India to have development in terms of technologically advance
manufacturing process and innovative new-age products. The agricultural sector and its other
associated spheres provide employment to a large section of the country's population and
contribute about 25% to the GDP. The Indian Fertilizer Industry is one of the allied sectors of
the agricultural sphere. India has emerged as the third largest producer of nitrogenous fertilizers.
The adoption of back to back Five Year plans has paved the way for self sufficiency in the
production of food grains. In fact production has gone up to an extent that there is scope for the
export of food grains. This surplus has been facilitated by the use of chemical fertilizers.
The large scale use of chemical fertilizers has been instrumental in bringing about the green
revolution in India. The fertilizer industry in India began its journey way back in 1906. During thisperiod the first Single Super Phosphate (SSP) factory was established in Ranipet in Chennai. It had
a capacity of producing 6000 MT annually. In the pre and post independence era a couple of large
scale fertilizer units were established namely the Fertilizer Corporation of India in Sindri, Bihar
and the Fertilizer & Chemicals Travancore of India Ltd in Cochin, Kerala.
The Indian government has devised policies conducive to the manufacture and
consumption of fertilizers. Numerous committees have been formed by the Indian government to
formulate and determine fertilizer policies. The dramatic development of the fertilizer industry and
the rise in its production capacity has largely been attributed to the favorable policies. This has
resulted in large scale investments in all three sectors viz. public, private and co-operative.
The Department of Fertilizers is responsible for the planning, promotion and development of the
Fertilizer industry. It also takes into account the import and distribution of fertilizers and also the
-

financial aspect. There are four main divisions of the department. These include Fertilizer Imports,
Movement and Distribution, Finance and Accounts, Fertilizers Projects and Planning and
Administration and Vigilance. It makes an assessment of the individual requirements of the states
and union territories and Though the soil in India is rich in silt, it lacks chief plant nutrients like
potassium, nitrogen and phosphate then lays out an elaborate supply plan.
At present there are 57 large scale fertilizer units. These manufacture an extensive range of
phosphatic, nitrogenous and complex fertilizers. 29 of these 57 units are engaged in the
manufacturing of urea, while 13 of them produce Calcium Ammonium Nitrate and Ammonium
Sulphate. The remaining 20 fertilizer plants manufacture complex fertilizers and DAP. There are
also a number of medium and small scale industries in operation, about 72 of them. The following
table elucidates the installed capacity of each sector.

Reports showed the total installed capacity of fertilizer production in 2004 to be 119.60 LMT of
nitrogen and 53.60 LMT of phosphate. These figures went up to 120.61 LMT of nitrogen and
56.59 LMT of phosphate in 2007. The production of fertilizers was 113.54 LMT of nitrogen and
42.21 LMT of phosphate during 2005-06. The target of production for 2006-07 was set at 114.48
LMT of nitrogen and 48.20 LMT of phosphate. Though the target production was not met, there
was a growth in production during 2006-07 as compared to the production during 2005-06.
Indian fertilizer industry has reached international levels of capacity utilization by adopting various
strategies for increasing the productions of fertilizers. These include the following:
Expansion and increase in efficiency through modernization and revamping of existing fertilizer
units.
Reviving some of the closed fertilizer plants.
Using alternative sources, such as coal or liquefied natural gas for the production of fertilizers,
especially urea.
In order to meet the demand for gas, which is one of the prime requirements for the
production of nitrogenous fertilizers, India has entered into joint ventures with foreign companies
in a number of countries. Joint ventures have also been established for the supply of phosphoric
acid. Indian fertilizer manufacturing companies has joined hands with companies in Senegal,

Oman, Jordan, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia and other countries. It is, therefore, evident that the
Indian fertilizer industry has witnessed extensive growth and development in a short span of time.
With such extensive growth, it is not surprising that the India ranks among the leading fertilizer
manufacturing countries of the world. NFL is market leader in the fertilizer in india.
National Fertilizers Limited, Panipat Unit
THE COMPANY AS A WHOLE
NFL is a Schedule -A & Mini Ratna Category- I Company and is a market leader in the
fertilizer Industry in India with about 16.5% share in Urea Production. It is a profitable public
sector undertaking operating under the administrative control of Department Of Fertilizers in the
Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers.
NFL was incorporated on 23rd August 1974 with two manufacturing Units at Bathinda and
Panipat. Subsequently, on the reorganization of Fertilizer Group of Companies in 1978, the
Nangal Unit of Fertilizer Corporation of India came under the NFL fold. The Company expanded
its installed capacity in 1984 by installing and commissioning of its Vijaipur gas based Plant in
Madhya Pradesh. Subsequently, the Vijaipur plant doubled its capacity to 14.52 Lakh MT by
commissioning Vijaipur Expansion Unit i.e. Vijaipur-II in 1997. The plant annual capacities have
now been re-rated w.e.f. 1.4.2000 from 7.26 lakh MT of Urea to 8.64 Lakh MT for Vijaipur-I and
Vijaipur-II Plants each.

Installed Capacity:
The Company has an installed capacity of 32.31 lakh MTs of Nitrogenous Fertilizers and has
recorded an annual sales turnover of Rs. 3865.68 crores during 2006-07. The Companys
strength lies in its sizeable presence, professional marketing and strong distribution network
nationwide.
Kisan Urea :
NFLs popular brands are sold over a large marketing territory spanning the length and
breadth of the country. The Company also manufactures and markets Biofertilizers and a wide
range of industrial products like Methanol, Nitric Acid, Sulphur, Liquid Oxygen, Liquid Nitrogen
etc. The Company has developed Neem Coated Urea which improves the crop yield by 4-5%.
The Company is focusing its thrust to widen the marketing operations of Neem Coated Urea.
NFL is an ISO Certified Company:
All NFL plants including Corporate Office/ Marketing operations have been certified for ISO-
9001:2000 for conforming to international quality standards and International Environmental
Standard i.e.ISO-14001.NFL is equally concerned about the safety of its plants and people
therefore implemented internationally accredited OHSAS-18001 safety standards. Thus NFL has
become the first Fertilizer Company in the country to have its total business covered under ISO
Certification.
Urea is an essential commodity under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955
The Department of Fertilizers plans and monitors production, import and distribution of fertilizers
and management of subsidy for indigenous and imported fertilizers in the country.

8/2/2019 Nfl Report of Paniapt1
13/53
Kisan Urea is a highly concentrated, solid, nitrogenous fertilizer, containing 46.0% Nitrogen. It is
completely soluble in water hence Nitrogen is easily available to crops. IT is ideally suitable for
all types of crops and for foliar spray which instantly removes nitrogen deficiency and helps in
absorption of other nutrients like phosphate and Potash by roots of crop.
Neem Coated Urea
National Fertilizers Limited (NFL) is the first fertilizer manufacturer in the country, which has
developed Neem Coated Urea and the process for its manufacture on large scale. Neem Coated
Urea regulates the release of Nitrogen to the plants over longer period and has better self life in
respect of tendency to become cake during storage. The Panipat Unit of National Fertilizers Ltd. Is
situated on National Highway No. 1 and Delhi- Amritsar railway trunk route. Panipat city is about
90 km from Delhi and is covered in the National Capital Region. Panipat is a historical city, which
was the scene of three historical battles. Panipat is also famous for its handloom industry. The
Panipat Project was approved by the Govt. of India on 10th February 1975 for implementation.
Prime consultants for design, engineering, erection and commissioning of the Plants were M/s
Toyo Engineering Corporation of Japan and M/s Engineers India Ltd. Starting from the zero date
30.04.75, the Feed-in was achieved on 01.09.78 i.e. within 40 months of the Zero-date. The Unitwent in commercial production from 01.09.1979. The cost of the project was Rs. 221.33 Crore
(Rs. 2213.3 Million).

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
MEANING
Performance appraisal may be defined as a structured formal interaction between a subordinate and
supervisor, that usually takes the form of a periodic interview (annual or semi-annual), in which
the work performance of the subordinate is examined and discussed, with a view to identifying
weaknesses and strengths as well as opportunities for improvement and skills development. In
many organizations - but not all - appraisal results are used, either directly or indirectly, to help
determine reward outcomes. That is, the appraisal results are used to identify the better performing
employees who should get the majority of available merit pay increases, bonuses.
By the same token, appraisal results are used to identify the poorer performers who may require
some form of counseling, or in extreme cases, demotion, dismissal or decreases in pay.
History of performance appraisal
The history of performance appraisal is quite brief. Its roots in the early 20th century can be traced
to Taylor's pioneering Time and Motion studies. But this is not very helpful, for the same may be
said about almost everything in the field of modern human resources management.
As a distinct and formal management procedure used in the evaluation of work performance,
appraisal really dates from the time of the Second World War - not more than 60 years ago.
Yet in a broader sense, the practice of appraisal is a very ancient art. In the scale of things
historical, it might well lay claim to being the world's second oldest profession!
Definition
IT IS THE SYSTEMATIC EVALUATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL WITH RESPECT TO HIS / HER
PERFORMANCE ON THE JOB AND HIS OR HER POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT
-
8/2/2019 Nfl Report of Paniapt1
18/53
Performance Appraisal is aimed at:
To review the performance of the employees over a given period of time.
To judge the gap between the actual and the desired performance.
To help the management in exercising organizational control.
To diagnose the training and development needs of the future.
Provide information to assist in the HR decisions like promotions, transfers etc.
Provide clarity of the expectations and responsibilities of the functions to be
performed by the employees.
To judge the effectiveness of the other human resource functions of the
organization such as recruitment, selection, training and development.
To reduce the grievances of the employees.
Helps to strengthen the relationship and communication between superior
subordinates and management employees.
Benefits
Perhaps the most significant benefit of appraisal is that, in the rush and bustle of daily working life,
it offers a rare chance for a supervisor and subordinate to have "time out" for a one-on-onediscussion of important work issues that might not otherwise be addressed.
Almost universally, where performance appraisal is conducted properly, both supervisors and
subordinates have reported the experience as beneficial and positive. Appraisal offers a valuable
opportunity to focus on work activities and goals, to identify and correct existing problems, and to
encourage better future performance. Thus the performance of the whole organization is enhanced.
Motivation and Satisfaction
Performance appraisal can have a profound effect on levels of employee motivation and
satisfaction - for better as well as for worse.

Methods of Performance Appraisal
-
8/2/2019 Nfl Report of Paniapt1
22/53
TRADITIONAL METHODS
Under the individual evaluation methods of merit rating, employees are evaluated one at a time
without comparing them with other employees in the organization.
Confidential report:
It is mostly used in government organizations. It is a descriptive report prepared, generally at the
end of every year, by the employees immediate superior. The report highlights the strengths and
weaknesses of the subordinate. The report is not databased. The impressions of the superior about
the subordinate are merely recorded there. It does not offer any feedback to the appraisee. The
appraisee is not very sure about why his ratings have fallen despite his best efforts, why others are
rated high when compared to him, how to rectify his mistakes, if any; on what basis he is going to
be evaluated next year, etc. Since the report is generally not made public and hence no feedback is
available, the subjective analysis of the superior is likely to be hotly contested. In recent years, due
to pressure from courts and trade unions, the details of a negative confidential report are given to
the appraisee.
(b)Essay evaluation:
Under this method, the rater is asked to express the strong as well as weak points of the
employees behavior. This technique is normally used with a combination of the graphic rating
scale because the rater can elaborately present the scale by substantiating an explanation for his
rating. While preparing the essay on the employee, the rater considers the following factors: (i) Job
knowledge and potential of the employee; (ii) Employees understanding of the companys
programmes, policies, objectives, etc.; (iii) The employees relations with co-workers and
superiors; (iv) The employees general planning, organizing and controlling ability; (v) The
attitudes and perceptions of the employee, in general.
-
8/2/2019 Nfl Report of Paniapt1
23/53
Essay evaluation is a non-quantitative technique. This method is advantageous in at least one
sense, i.e., the essay provides a good deal of information about the employee and also reveals more
about the evaluator.
The essay evaluation method however, suffers from the following limitations:
It is highly subjective; the supervisor may write a biased essay.
The employees who are sycophants will be evaluated more favorably then other
employees.
Some evaluators may be poor in writing essays on employee performance.
Appraiser takes a long time, this becomes uneconomical from the view point of the firm,
because the time of the evaluator (supervisor) is costly.
(c)Critical incident technique:
Under this method, the manager prepares lists of statements of very effective and ineffective
behavior of an employee. These critical incidents or events represent the outstanding or poor
behavior of employees on the job. The manager maintains logs on each employee, whereby he
periodically records critical incidents of the workers behavior. At the end of the rating period, these
recorded critical incidents are used in the evaluation of the workers performance.
(d)Checklists and weighted checklists:
A checklist represents, in its simplest form, a set of objectives or descriptive statements about the
employee and his behavior. If the rater believes strongly that the employee possesses a particular
listed trait, he checks the item; otherwise, he leaves the item blank. A more recent variation of the
checklist method is the weighted list. Under this, the value of each question may be weighted
equally or certain questions may be weighted more heavily than others.
-
8/2/2019 Nfl Report of Paniapt1
24/53
The following are some of the sample questions in the checklist.
i) Is the employee really interested in the task assigned? Yes/No
ii) Is he respected by his colleagues (co-workers) Yes/No
iii) Does he give respect to his superiors? Yes/No
iv) Does he follow instructions properly? Yes/No
v) Does he make mistakes frequently? Yes/No
A rating score from the checklist helps the manager in evaluation of the performance of the
employee.
The checklist method have serious limitation.
The rater may be biased in distinguishing the positive and negative questions.
This method is expensive and time consuming.

Dependability: Conscientious,thorough, reliable, accurate,
with respect to attendance,
reliefs, lunch breaks, etc.
Cooperation: Willingness and
ability to work with others to
produce desired goals.
From the graphic rating scales, excerpts can be obtained about the performance standards of
employees. For instance, if the employee has serious gaps in technical-professional knowledge
(knows only rudimentary phases of job); lacks the knowledge to bring about an increase in
productivity; is reluctant to make decisions on his own (on even when he makes decisions they are
unreliable and substandard); declines to accept responsibility; fails to plan ahead effectively;
wastes and misuses resources; etc., then it can safely be inferred that the standards of the
performance of the employee are dismal and disappointing.

8/2/2019 Nfl Report of Paniapt1
26/53
(g) Forced choice method: This method was developed to eliminate bias and the
preponderance of high ratings that might occur in some organizations. The primary purpose of the
forced choice method is to correct the tendency of a rater to give consistently high or low ratings to
all the employees. This method makes use of several sets of pair phrases, two of which may be
positive and two negative and the rater is asked to indicate which of the four phrases is the most
and least descriptive of a particular worker. Actually, the statement items are grounded in such a
way that the rater cannot easily judge which statements applies to the most effective employee.
The following box is a classic illustration of the forced choice items in organizations.
Table: Forced Choice Items
1. Least Most
A Does not anticipate difficulties A
B Grasps explanations easily and quickly B
C Does not waste time C
D Very easy to talk to D
2. Least Most
A Can be a leader A
B Wastes time on unproductive things B
C At all times, cool and calm C
D Smart worker D
The favorable qualities earn a plus credit and the unfavorable ones earn the reverse. The worker
gets over plus when the positive factors override the negative ones or when one of the negative
phrases is checked as being insignificantly rated.
-
8/2/2019 Nfl Report of Paniapt1
27/53
They overall objectivity is increased by using this method in evaluation of employees
performance, because the rater does not know how high or low he is evaluating the individual as he
has no access to the scoring key.
This method has a strong limitation.
In the preparation of sets of phrases trained technicians are needed and as such the method
becomes very expensive.
Managers may feel frustrated rating the employees in the dark. Finally, the results of the
forced choice method may not be useful for training employees because the rater himself
does not know how he is evaluating the worker
In spite of these limitations, the forced choice technique is quite popular.
MODERN TECHNIQUES
(a) Behaviorally anchored rating scales: Also known as the behavioral expectations
scale, this method represents the latest innovation in performance appraisal. It is a combination of
the rating scale and critical incident techniques of employee performance evaluation. The critical
incidents serve as anchor statements on a scale and the rating form usually contains six to eight
specifically defined performance dimensions. The following chart represents an example of a sales
trainees competence and a behaviorally anchored rating scale.
Table: An Example of Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS)
Performance Points Behavior
Extremely good 7 Can expect trainee to make valuable suggestions for increased
sales and to have positive relationships with customers all over
-
8/2/2019 Nfl Report of Paniapt1

the country.
Good 6 Can expect to initiate creative ideas for improved sales.
Above average 5 Can expect to keep in touch with the customers throughout the
year.
Average 4 Can manage, with difficulty, to deliver the goods in time.
Below average 3 Can expect to unload the trucks when asked by the supervisor.
Poor 2 Can expect to inform only a part of the customers.
Extremely poor 1 Can expect to take extended coffee breaks and roam around
purposelessly.
How to construct BARS? Developing BARS follows a general format which combines
techniques employed in the critical incident method and weighted checklist ratings scales.
Emphasis is pinpointed on pooling the thinking of people who will use the scales as both
evaluators and evacuees.
Step 1: Collect critical incidents:People with knowledge of the job to be probed, such as
job holders and supervisors, describe specific examples of effective and ineffective behavior
related to job performance.
Step 2:Identify performance dimensions: The people assigned the task of developing the
instrument cluster the incidents into a small set of key performance dimensions. Generally between
five and ten dimensions account for most of the performance. Examples of performance
dimensions include technical competence, relationships with customers, handling of paper work
and meeting day-to-day deadlines. While developing varying levels of performance for each
dimension (anchors), specific examples of behavior should be used, which could later be scaled in
terms of good, average or below average performance?
-
8/2/2019 Nfl Report of Paniapt1
29/53
Step 3:Reclassification of incidents: Another group of participants who are knowledgeable
about the job is instructed to retranslate or reclassify the critical incidents generated (in Step II)
previously. They are given the definition of job dimension and told to assign each critical incident
to the dimension that it best describes. At this stage, incidents for which there is not 75 per cent
agreement are discarded as being too subjective.
Step 4:Assigning scale values to the incidents: Each incident is then rated on a one-to-
seven or one-to-nine scale with respect of how well it represents performance on the appropriate
dimension. A rating of one represents ineffective performance; the top scale value indicates veryeffective performance. The second group of participants usually assigns the scale values. Means
and standard deviations are then calculated for the scale values assigned to each incident. Typically
incidents that have standard deviations of 1.50 or less (on a 7-point scale) are retained.
Step 5:Producing the final instrument: About six or seven incidents for each performance
dimension all having met both the retranslating and standard deviation criteria will be used as
behavioral anchors. The final BARS instrument consists of a series of vertical scales (one for each
dimension) anchored (or measured) by the final incidents. Each incident is positioned on the scale
according to its mean value. Because the above process typically requires considerable employee
participation, its acceptance by both supervisors and their subordinates may be greater. Proponents
of BARS also claim that such a system differentiates among behavior, performance and results and
consequently is able to provide a basis for setting developmental goals for the employee. Because
it is job-specific and identifies observable and measurable behavior, it is a more reliable and valid
method for performance appraisal.
(Management by Objectives (MBO):
MBO represents a modern method of evaluating the performance of personnel.
-
8/2/2019 Nfl Report of Paniapt1
30/53
According to Drucker, McGregor and Odiorne in management science. Management by
objectives can be described as
a process whereby the superior and subordinate managers of an organization jointly
identify its common goals, define each individuals major areas of responsibility in terms
of results expected of him and use these measures as guides for operating the unit and
assessing the contributions of each of its members.
MBO thus represents more than an evaluation program and process. Practicing management
scientists and pedagogues view it as a philosophy of managerial practice; it is a method by
which managers and subordinates plan, organize, control, communicate and debate.
Features
MBO emphasizes anticipatively set goals that are tangible, verifiable and measurable.
MBO focuses attention on what must be accomplished (goals) rather than how it is to be
accomplished (methods).
MBO, by concentrating on key result areas translates the abstract philosophy of
management into concrete phraseology. The technique can be put to general use (non-
specialist technique). Further it is a dynamic system which seeks to integrate the
companys need to clarify and achieve its profit and growth targets with the managers
need to contribute and develop himself.
MBO is a systematic and rational technique that allows management to attain maximum
results from available resources by focusing on achievable goals. It allows the subordinate
plenty of room to make creative decisions on his own.
(c)360 degrees
the 360-degree technique is understood as systematic collection of performance data on an
individual or group , derived from a number of stake holders., being immediate supervisors,
team members,customers,peers, and, self. the 360-deGREE appraisal provides a brooders
perspective about an employees performance. In addition , the technique facilitates greater self
development of the employees. For ones development, multi sources feedback is highly
-
8/2/2019 Nfl Report of Paniapt1
31/53
useful. It enables employee to compare his/her perception about self with perception of others.
This technique is particularly helpful in assessing soft skills possessed by employees. By
design, the 360-degree appraisal is effective in identifying and measuring interpersonal skills,
customer satisfaction, and team building skills.
Drawback
Receiving feedback on performance from multiple sources can be intimating.
Time consuming
Biasness
(d)The Critical Incidents File
The critical incidents file is a performance appraisal method in which the manager writes down
positive and negative performance behavior of employees throughout the performance period. The
critical incidents file is a form of documentation that is needed in this litigious environment These
critical incidents or events represent the outstanding or poor behavior of employees on the job. The
manager maintains logs on each employee, whereby he periodically records critical incidents of the
workers behavior. At the end of the rating period, these recorded critical incidents are used in the
evaluation of the workers performance. This method provides an objective basis for conducting a
thorough discussion of an employees performance. This method avoids recency bias (most recent
incidents get too much emphasis).
This method suffers however from the following limitations:
Negative incidents may be more noticeable than positive incidents.
The supervisors have a tendency to unload a series of complaints about incidents during an
annual performance review session.
It results in very close supervision which may not be liked by the employee.
The recording of incidents may be a chore for the manager concerned, who may be too
busy or forget to do it.

Most frequently, the critical incidents technique of evaluation is applied to evaluate the
performance of superiors rather than of peers of subordinates.

is used and the main demerits of this method that employees can't know about their performance

By considering the behavior indicators.
Performance of the employee is appraised by the supervisors without any biasness under
information to the concerned employee.
Performance appraisal system should be conducted and taken by interest.
Performance appraisal should be viewed strictly on the basis of job performance not on the
basis of job title, opportunity should be given to employees to work in his key areas.
Performance appraisal system can be improved by introducing 360 degree and by
measuring the performance free from any biasness.
Performance of the individual should be communicated.
Performance should be measured by subordinate and superior of the appraisee.
