AIM &ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COMPANY
1
Establishment of the Company
The history of OSRAM is bound up closely with the rapid development of lighting
engineering. It was this company that in 1919 under one roof the scientific expertise
and decades-long experience of the top three lamp producers in Germany. Only 1,
1919 a limited partnership, OSRAM GmbH, was called into existence in Berlin
by the manager of Allgemeine Elektricitats - Gesellschaft , Deutsche
Gasgluhlicht - Aktiengesellschaft ( Auergesellschaft ), and the electric lamp
production facilities of Sieman & Halske.
The Auergesellschafthad already in 1906 Registered the name OSRAM with the
Imperial Patent Office as the official trademark forits incandescent and arc lamps.
1906 was thus the birth date of a trade name that was destined to win world renown
: OSRAM. The origin of the OSRAM name came about thus : OS - (OS)MIUM
which is a lamp making metal.
The history of electric light and the history of OSRAM are inextricably
intertwined. Again and again , new developments from OSRAM have changed
the way we live.
As early as 1925, for example, OSRAM made night time driving much safer with
the development of the first twin filament headlight lamp worth high and low beams.
These BILUX lamps became famous throughout the world. From filaments to
fluorescents - In 1936, OSRAM launched the first fluorescent lamp. Its economical
light revolutionized artificial lighting in offices, shops, factories and public buildings.
Halogen light, a brilliant idea - By including halogens in the filler gas, lighting
specialists as OSRAM set the incandescent lamp on a completely new course in
1960.
OSRAM has made constant improvements to the range. We have been able; for
example to reduce the tube diameter of fluorescent lamps from 38 mm to 26 mm and
less, which saves glass and fluorescent material and at the same time increases
luminous efficacy.

The plant of OSRAM India Pvt. Ltd. Sonepat was established by Birla Group of
company as ECE Industries Sonipat in the year 1973 in collaboration with M/s
Tungsram, Hungary. It is situated 45 km from Delhi, in industries-oriented
environment of Sonepat (Haryana).
In Oct.1998, ECE Industries Ltd. Sonepat was taken over by OSRAM India Pvt.
Limited a wholly owned subsidiary of OSRAM GmbH. OSRAM India Pvt. Ltd.
having its registered at New Delhi, was primarily formed for sales and marketing
operations in India. The company has got three regional offices at Bombay, Calcutta
and Bangalore in addition to 14 other distribution centers. The total turnover of
OSRAM India pvt. Ltd. Were worth Rs.42 crore in acquisition, innovation and
expansion has been regular feature of this plant. Currently a high speed CFL
manufacturer line and slim tube manufacture line have been brought from (Germany).
With this new induction, total investment at this to approximately Rs.100 crore.

Note: all figures are fictitious.
Types of services/products given/produced
Producing more light with less energy is our maxim. We are increasingly focusing on the
overall life cycle of our products, from environmentally sound product design to
environmentally sound disposal. In addition, we strive to reduce the amount of mercury and
other toxic chemicals that are required for certain types of lamps and, whenever possible, find
replacements for these harmful substances.
The EU directive 2002/95/EG on the of the use of certain hazardous restriction substances in
electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS), that was implemented on July 1st, 2006, forbids
the use of certain hazardous substances such as lead, chrome VI, cadmium mercury, and
specific flame retardant agents in electronic product (PBBs AND PBDEs)
They do not only confine ourselves to the legal minimum requirements but also strive to
systematically reduce ecologically relevant substances. As we can only avoid or deplete
materials that we know of, we ask our suppliers to clearly index all substances contained in
their products on the basis of our index list. This list contains all prohibited toxics as well as
all substances we try to avoid. Substances that can be found on that list have to be declared
and the compliance of this list is mandatory for all our suppliers.
Due to our responsibility for the safe handling of our products, we also provide our customers
with eco-information on our products. Technical tips and suggestions for safe handling are
included as well as helpful advice for disposal at the end of the lamp's useful life. Acting
responsibly, our engagement for active and sustainable environmental protection, and our
social commitment constitute the basic values of our company and are represented in our
business principles.

LED
In contrast to incandescent lamps, light-emitting diodes produce light in a certain color. This
color varies depending on the materials system used and ranges from yellow, orange, and red
to green and blue.
HALOGEN LAMPS WITH IRC TECHNOLOGY
Halogen light has virtually the same spectrum of light as the sun, so colors look natural under
halogen lamps. In comparison to conventional incandescent lamps, halogen lamps feature a
high degree of color stability, high lighting efficiency, and a much longer service life.
XENARC
A growing number of new car buyers and used car owners are equipping their vehicles with
OSRAM Xenon headlights. According to automotive industry experts, nearly 45% of all
newly registered cars in Europe have these new safety lights.

INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT & REVIEW OF
LITERATURE
24
INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT
(LABOR EFFICIENCY)
LABOR FORCE
The total number of people employed or seeking employment in a country or region is
called Labor force or Work force.
EFFICIENCY
A level of performance that describes a process that uses the lowest amount of inputs
to create the greatest amount of outputs. Efficiency relates to the use of all inputs in
producing any given output, including personal time and energy.
LABOR EFFICIENCY VARIANCE
Labor efficiency variance is calculated by comparing the actual hours worked with
standard hours allowed, both at the standard labor rate. The standard hours allowed
figure is determined by multiplying the number of direct labor hours established or
predetermined to produce during the period for which the variances are being
computed. The units produced are the equivalent units of production for the labor cost
being analyzed. Labor efficiency variance is also known as labor time variance and
labor usage variance.
[Labor efficiency variance = (Actual hours worked × Standard rate) − (Standard hours allowed × Standard rate)]
EXAMPLE:-Assume that 1,880 hours are worked at a rate of $6.50 per hour to produce 530
equivalent units of product. The standard labor rate per hour is $6.00 and standard
time allowed to produce a unit of product is 3 hours.
Required: Calculate direct labor efficiency variance.
25
Solution:
Time × Rate = AmountActual hours worked at actual rate
1,880 $6.00
standard $11,280
Actual hours worked at standard rate
1,590 $6.00
standard 9,540
290 $1,740 unfav.
The standard hours allowed is the result of multiplying 530 units of product by three
standard hours per unit. The unfavorable labor efficiency variance of $1,740 is due to
the use of 290 hours in excess of standard hours allowed.
Rates paid to the workers are usually predictable. Nevertheless, rate variances can
arise through the way labor is used. Skill workers with high hourly rates of pay may
be given duties that require little skill and call for low hourly rates of pay. This will
result in an unfavorable labor rate variance, since the actual hourly rate of pay will
exceed the standard rate specified for the particular task. In contrast, a favorable rate
variance would result when workers who are paid at a rate lower than specified in the
standard are assigned to the task. However, the low pay rate workers may not be as
efficient. Finally, overtime work at premium rates can be reason of an unfavorable
labor price variance if the overtime premium is charged to the labor account.
26
CAUSES OF UNFAVOURABLE LABOR EFFICIENCY/USAGE
VARIANCE:-
Poorly Trained Workers
Poor Quality Materials
Faulty Equipment
Poor Supervision
Insufficient Demand For Company’s Product
Who is Responsible for the Labour Efficiency/Usage Variance?
The manager in charge of production is generally considered responsible for labor efficiency
variance. If customers’ orders are insufficient to keep the workers busy, the work center
manager has two options, either accept an unfavorable labor efficiency variance or build up
inventories. The second option is opposite to the basic principle of just in time (JIT). An
inventory with no immediate prospect of sale is a bad idea according to just in time approach.
Inventories, particularly work in process inventory leads to high defect rate, obsolete goods,
and generally inefficient operations. As a consequence, when the work force is basically fixed
in the short term, managers must be cautious about how labor efficiency variances are used.
Some managers advocate dispensing with labor efficiency variance entirely in such situations
at least for the purpose of motivating and controlling workers on the shop floor.
This paper probes the role of labour efficiency in promoting energy efficiency and economic
performance with reference to small scale brick enterprises' cluster in Malur, Karnataka State,
India. In the bricks industry, the technology in use being similar, labour efficiency has a
negative influence on energy cost. Therefore, those enterprises that exhibited higher labour
productivities had lower average energy intensity and higher returns to scale as compared to
those that had lower labour productivities. Considering this, improvement of labour efficiency
can be an alternative approach for energy efficiency improvement in energy intensive small
scale industries in developing countries like India, which face the obstacle of financial
constraints in up-grading technology as a means of energy efficiency improvement.
27
Workforce productivity is the amount of goods and services that a worker produces in a
given amount of time. It is one of several types of productivity that economists measure.
Workforce productivity can be measured for a firm, a process, an industry, or a country. It was
originally (and often still is) called labor productivity because it was originally studied only
with respect to the work of laborers as opposed to managers or professionals.
The OECD defines it as "the ratio of a volume measure of output to a volume measure of
input".[1] Volume measures of output are normally gross domestic product (GDP) or gross
value added (GVA), expressed at constant prices i.e. adjusted for inflation.
The three most commonly used measures of input are:
hours worked;
workforce jobs; and
Number of people in employment.
Measured labour productivity will vary as a function of both other input factors and the
efficiency with which the factors of production are used (total factor productivity). So two
firms or countries may have equal total factor productivity (productive technologies) but
because one has more capital to use, labor productivity will be higher.
Output per worker corresponds to the "average product of labour" and can be contrasted with
the marginal product of labor, which refers to the increase in output those results from a
corresponding (marginal) increase in labor input.

FACTORS AFFECT LABOUR EFFICIENCY
In order to understand the causation of labour efficiency it is essential to know first
what the term behavior actually means. Different behavioral scientists have defined
Behavior differently. Some observations are as follows;
Behavior simply means “as a response to certain stimuli which is observable directly
and indirectly “
Behavior is observed directly by studying the responses of people to their work
environment indirect observation refers to those people describe decision making
processes and attitude verbally.
This is seen that human behavior is caused by certain reasons behavior is the result of
interaction between individual characteristics and the characteristics of the
environment in which behavior occurs.
Personal characteristics remain inside the person whereas environmental once outside
the person. These personal and environmental characteristics secure as foundation of
individual behavior in the efficiency of there work.
35
THE CAUSES OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR ON THE
EFFICIENCY OF THE WORK
INHERITED CHARACTERISTICS: Some of the characteristics inherited
from birth, may or may not be changed by external environment
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: - relate to height, slim body, and
vision and stamina results in quality, performance in such jobs that require artistic
skills.
AGE:- the age may influence the efficiency of labour in a physiological as well
as psychological ways
INTELLIGENCE:-Some people are born Intelligent However intelligent can
be enhanced with efforts, hard work proper environment and motivation.
RELIGION:-It play important role in determining the efficiency. High
religious people have high moral standards. They strive for achievement and self
fulfillment.
36
LEARNED CHARACTERISTICS: These characteristics involve
individual’s attitudes, values and perceptions about the environment in which he/she
function. They are a result of parental values and expectation.
PERCEPTION: - Is a process by which individuals organize and interpret there
sensory impression in order to give meaning to their environment. It refers to the
manner in which a person experiences the world.
PERSONALITY: - It is a set of traits and characteristics, habit patterns and
conditioned responses to certain stimuli that formulate the impression upon others. It
indicates the type of activities, jobs and assignment suitable to a particular person
which will enable him to perform that task effectively.
ATTITUDES: - it may be defined as the way a person fells about something- a
person, a place, a commodity, a situation or an idea. It addresses an individual’s
positive or negative feeling about some object.
VALUES: - values are important in relation to study of organizational behavior.
Because an organization is a composite of attitude, perceptions, personalities and
individual behavior of managers as well as workers. Values determine what is right
and what is wrong. The values behavior pattern.
37
FACTORS AFFECTING LABOUR EFFICIENCY
ENVIROMENTAL FACTORS:-
ECONOMIC FACTORS- the economic environment is an important
determinant of individual behavior. All work is performed with in economic
framework .the concept of economic environment is a synthesis of several factors like
employment level, wage rate, economic outlook and technological change rate.People
work for money but not only for money. However wages satisfied various needs of
individuals.
POLITICAL FACTORS- the stability of government can affect the
employment opportunities both in quantity and quality. Management structures and
philosophies in controlled societies have a significant impact on decision, strategies
and methods of implementation available to managers. The relative freedom available
can affect carrier choice, job design, motivation methods and finally individual
behavior.
SOCIO-CULTURAL FACTORS: people grow up in a particular society that
shape their basic values, beliefs and behavior. Cultural vary from country to country
and these variation produce different behavior across the country.
LEGAL ENVIRONMENT: rules and laws are formalized ad written standards
of behavior both rules and laws is strictly enforced by the legal system .laws relate to
all members of society observing laws voluntarily allow predictability of individual
behavior.
38
ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS :- the characteristics of an organization
are also affects human behavior.
PHYSICAL FACILITIES: The physical facilities such as ventilation ,proper
lighting , painting on wall, proper space for employee and like that put impact on
employee behavior and performance. Hence physical environment at work place may
be said to be the arrangement of people and thinks in such a manner. So that they
may have a positive impact on the efficiency of the work.
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURES AND DESIGNS- It refers to the
way in different departments in organizations are set up and the way in which the
emoting relationship and lines of communication are established among different
departments in the organizations.
QUALITY OF LEADERSHIP-The organizational establish a system of
leadership and supervision to pride direction assistance, advice, training, to
individual members. The behavior of a leader is therefore a potential source of
influence on an individual. In other words the behavior of individual by a large
extent influenced by their leaders.
REWARD SYSTEM:-Organization establishes reward system to compensate
the employees. The behavior of an employee influenced by reward system of an
organization.
39
INDIVIDUALS DIFFERENCES AT WORKPLACE
1) REWARDS-Depending upon different psychological make-ups, people differ
in attaching importance to awards.
2) TYPE OF COMPENSATION PLAN- People also differs in the type of
compensation plan they want. Some may refer to have compensation under the time
wage system, while others may like to prefer piece wage system.
3) STYLE OF LEADERSHIP- People may differ in the style of leadership
they want to work under. While some may like to work under autocratic leadership
style, others may be in a democratic style of leadership.
4) STAMINA-People also differ in their stamina to bear with job stress. While
some may prefer to flight stresses.
5) PERSONNEL CHARACTERISTICS- People differ in their personnel
characteristics like age, sex, race, education, abilities etc.
40
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AND ORGANIZATION
BEHAVIOR
In organizational behavior, too much emphasis is placed on studying individual
differences .it is not that values, attitudes, personalities and similar personal
characteristics are irrelevant to under standing organizational behavior rather
organizations come.
With a host of formal and informal control mechanism that in effect largely
shapes .direct and constraint members’ behavior that is structure tends to over-ride
interpersonal differences.
Almost organizations have policies, procedures rules and other formal
documentation that limit and shape the behavior. This formal documentation sets
standards of acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
Almost all organizations differentiate roles horizontally, creating unique jobs and
departments. The structure of these jobs allows others to predict behavior in those
roles. Organizations also differentiate roles vertically by creating levels of
management
So, they create boss employee relationship that constrains employee behavior.
When you join an organization, you are expected to adapt its norms of acceptable
behavior. The norms are unwritten rules but, they are powerful and controlling. An
organization may not have a formal dress code but employees are expected to ‘dress
appropriately’-which mean adapting to the implied dress norms.
41
Models Of A Man Based On Individual Differences
Study of human behavior in both regarding and necessary for management. It is
doubtful whether the management can perform its function successfully without
having understanding why people behave as they do. It based on individual
differences; individual differences are classified in to certain models or type.
1) RATIONAL ECONOMIC MAN:-This is based on the doctrine of
maximizing oneself interest. This assumptions are :
Man is able to calculate the cost of his efforts and value of inducement he receives
from his efforts.
Man is able to evaluate the alterations available.
Man is motivated by economic interest.
The organization controls the economic activities.
Organization can be designed to control rational feelings and avoid unpredictable
behavior.
The different types of assumptions a manager makes about people with greatly
determine the actions he takes in motivating and controlling people.
In simple rational economic model people can be induced to produce more by
providing economic incentives. This works very simply, that is people are engage by
the organization for the productive purpose.
It will continue to give them incentives till it receiving matching contribution from
them.
The economic incentives can work till man is not reasonably satisfied by a need of
money. Though money is such a factor that its need can never be satisfied because it
may purchase many things through which people may satisfy their other needs within
organizational context. The role of money is to maintain the people n the
organization and beyond that is not able to provide incentives to people.
42
2) SOCIAL MAN:-It is based on the doctrine that man being part of the society,
is influenced by a social forces and seeks satisfaction from social relationships.
Man is motivated by its social needs.
Man is more responsive to group pressure.
He will obey managements order as long as these are in conformity with his
social needs.
Management should organize work in such a way that it provides not
belongingness.
Social man concept is the invention of researchers which behavioral scientist has
carried out from time to time begom hawthorn experiments.
3) ORGANIZATION MAN: - William white who gave this concept believes
that value of loyalty to the organization and co-corporation with fellow workers is
important for man. The social ethics are guides of organization.
The group is a source of creativity.
Belongingness is the ultimate need of individual.
Generally organization means emphasis that there is no conflict between
organization and interpersonal. Even if there is any, it can be overcome by
sacrificing the individual interest in favor of organizational interest. Its implications
is that management will design its various actions high will satisfy the people.
People will not see their interest differently as the organization is to take care of their
interest.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH
“RESEARCH IS SEARCH FOR KNOWLEDGE”
OR“RESEARCH IS SYSTEMATIC EFFORTS TO GAIN
KNOWLEDGE.”
RESEARCH DESIGN
“A RESEARCH DESIGN IS THE FRAMEWORK OR PLAN FOR A STUDY
WHICH IS USED AS A GUIDE IN COLLECTING AND ANALYZING THE
DATA COLLECTED.”
It is the blue print that is followed in completing the study. The basic objective of
research cannot be attained without a proper research design. It specifies the methods
and procedures for acquiring the information needed to conduct the research
effectively. It is the overall operational pattern of the project that stipulates what
information needs to be collected, from which sources and by what methods.
TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design can be classified into following types:-
Descriptive research design
Exploratory research design
Experimental research design
45
The study of Recruitment & Selection In Danblock Braking India Pvt. Ltd is exploratory in
nature. Exploratory research is conducted into an issue or problem where there are few or no
earlier studies to refer to. The focus is on gaining insights and familiarity for later
investigation. Exploratory studies are typically structured with clearly stated hypothesis. They
are more flexible while descriptive studies are those studies, which are concerned with
describing the characteristics of particular individual or a group and they follow a more rigid
format. These studies are concerned with specific prediction, with narration of facts and
characteristics concerns individuals, group or situation.
Exploratory research often relies on secondary research such as reviewing available literature
and/or data. Or qualitative approaches such as informal discussions with consumers,
employees management or competitors, and more formal approaches through in-depth
interviews, focus groups, projective methods, case studies or pilot studies. The internet allows
for research methods that are more interactive in nature.
RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design facilitates the smoothness of various operations there by making research as
efficient as possible, yielding maximal information with minimal expenditure of efforts, time
and money
TYPE OF DATA COLLECTION
There are two types of data used. They are primary and secondary data. Primary data is
defined as data that is collected from original sources for a specific purpose. Secondary data is
data collected from indirect sources.
PRIMARY SOURCES
These include the survey or questionnaire method, telephonic interview as well as the personal
interview methods of data collection.
SECONDARY SOURCES
These include books, the internet, company brochures, product brochures, the company
website, competitor’s websites etc, newspaper articles etc.
In this project I have used internet, company brochures, product brochures, and the company
website as a secondary source

FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
Most of the workers have a friendly relationship with their superior as well as
their colleagues; this in turn depicts the open communication available in
organization.
Most of the workers are often guided by their supervisors in their sphere of
work and agree that they understand their work pressures and problems and try
to solve them if it is within their reach.
Most of the workers feel that unbalanced interpersonal relations affect the
efficiency level of employees mainly due to stress which is mainly caused
because of individual and organizational related factors.
The negative behavior of workers is mainly due to psychological and
behavioral problems although they get full co-operation and unbiased attention
from their superior in their work place.
Group cohesiveness prevails among different groups in org. mainly due to
competition.
No superior is afraid to express any kind of views about the worker to him.
To some extent, the management is concerned about maintaining good
relations with trade unions.
LIMITATIONS
47
I had put my best effort in gathering the data and i have tried my level best that the
data provided and the survey done are authentic as they could be, but there are some
limitations, which are mentioned below :
The study period is limited, the researcher has to collect the necessary and
important information within the limited period of time and it is not possible to
collect it, due to lack to time.
Some consumers give half-hearted response or false information, which may lead
to wrong conclusion.
It is not possible to carry out the detailed survey due to limited finance.
The crew members were hesitates to speak freely as they feared the information’s
to leak in the head office.

PESTE ANALYSIS
POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT
The stability of government can affect the employment opportunities; both in quantity
and quality .politically unstable environment have difficulty and attracting experience
problems in maintaining steady level of employment.
The political ideology of a country affects interpersonal behavior primary through
relative freedoms available to its citizens. Management structures and philosophies in
controlled societies have a significant impact on decisions, strategies, strategies and
methods of implementation available to manager’s .The relative freedoms can affect
career choice, job design motivation methods and finally efficiency of the labour.
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The Economic environment is an important determinant for the efficiency of the
labour. All work is perform with in economic framework .the concept of economic
environment is a synthesis of several factors, like employment level, wage rates,
economic outlook and technological change.
People work for money but not only for money. However have wages satisfied
various needs of an individual? It is well known that wage attract people to certain
organizations and determine their satisfaction on jobs. Inequality in wages will have
adverse effect on employees
SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT
People grow up in a particular society that shape their basic beliefs, values and
behaviors. Culture varies from country to country and these variation produce
different behaviors across the country .culture vary between two regions with in a
country too and these variations produce different behaviors across the country.
Work ethics, achievement needs, effort reward expectations and values are important
factors having behavioral implications as suggested by Stephens’s p.robbins.it
always desirable for organization effectiveness that direct there must be direct
relationship between effort and reward.
56
TECHNOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
It is seen that technological change is included as an economic factor because of
potential effects on individual job opportunities
Technological change has its strongest effect at lower level jobs although increased
automation, computerization and more sophisticated production technologies can
affect individuals at all levels.
LEGAL ENVIRONMENT
Rules and laws are formalized and written standards of behavior. Both rules and laws
are strictly enforced by the legal system .laws relate to all members of society.
Observing laws voluntary allows for predictability of individual behavior which will
give a great impact on the efficiency of the labor.

DISCUSSION OF RESULT AND CONCLUSIONS
Actual Production per Man-Hour of Production Line-1 is 44.12.Actual Production per Man-
Hour of Assembly Line-1 is 42.56..Actual Production per Man-Hour of Production of
Spiral is 31.11,
In the organization most of employees are satisfied with all the facilities provided by
company. But there are some employees also who are not satisfied with the company.
Management should try to convert unsatisfied employees in to satisfied employees.
Because if employee is not satisfied than the he is not able to give his 100% to his work and
the productivity of employee decrease.
Management should try to satisfy his employees because employees are the assets of
the company not a liability.
59
RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of my findings and conclusion my suggestions to the company are:
Equal opportunities are given to all to express their feelings in the meetings.
To realize the employees who are working at godowns that they also have
Freedom to take initiative in regard to change in procedure.
Give more importance to the hr department as it plays a key role in an
Organization.
Mostly recruitments are internally, but there should be external recruitments so
that company get more benefitted.
