The new AC uses an aqueous medium as cooling fluid instead of harmful chemical

refrigerants. Itiscompressor less,thus facilitatingminimum powerconsumption andis

emission free, making it a unique, environment friendly, energy saver. The new AC

which is being manufactured in several variants and sizes will find use in both

commercial anddomestic applications andcanbecustomized for optimumusage.

Using the unique Non Adiabatic Compressorless Cycle technology, ACME has

developed a highly advanced and energy efficient cooling solution. It is eco friendly

anduses an aqueousmedium ascooling fluid instead ofharmful chemical refrigerants

whichdeplete ozone layer.

RESEARCH PROBLEMS

The data collection phase of this project for framing effective work lifebalance

strategies for AcmeTelepowers Ltd. Rudrapur (Sidcul) employees wasdifficult and

prone to error. Someemployees werenot available for feedbacksession. Some of

them refused to cooperate due to lack of time and loads of work. Also, some

employeeshadbiased ordishonest answers.

SOURCE OF DATA:

Thedata collected for the project work are from two sources that is primary and

secondarysources.

y PRIMARY SOURCES

Forthis researchIhave followedthestructure personnel interviews afterdecidingto

carry out a survey researchbyselectingsample from the population of the AcmeTelepowers Ltd. Rudrapur (Sidcul). The opinion ofemployees wascollectedusing

appropriate questionnaire. This observation wasbrought about with the help of

attention and perception.

y SECONDARY SOURCES

The secondarydata werecollected from the internet and themanual published as

RESEARCH DESIGN

A researchdesignisthe arrangement ofcondition forcollection and analysis ofdata

that aimsto combine relevanceto the research purpose witheconomyin procedure.

Itconstitutesthetransparency forthecollection,measurement and analysis ofdata.

Conclusive Research

It is designed to choose among various possible course of action i.e. to make

decision. The researchdone forconclusionisbased onthe resultsdrawn out ofthe

questionnaire, andthen figuring outthe actual situationthroughseveral pie-charts.

Research instrument

In this project, thestructured instrument isused which is a planned, formal list ofquestionnaire wherethequestions were askeddirectly fromtheemployees.

a. Literature review

Thismaybe an attemptto summarise orcomment on whatis already known

about a particulartopic. Bycollectingdifferentsourcestogether,synthesising

and analysingcritically,itessentiallycreatesnew knowledge or perspectives.

There are a number ofdifferent forms a literature review mighttake.

b. Case study

This will involvecollectingempirical data,generally from only one or a small

number of cases. It usually provides rich detail about those cases, of a

predominantlyqualitativenature. There are a number ofdifferent approaches

to case study work (e.g.,ethnographic,hermeneutic,ethogenic,etc) and theprinciples andmethods followedshouldbemadeclear.


49/81

49

c. Survey

Where an empirical study involves collecting information from a larger

number of cases, perhaps using questionnaires, it is usually described as a

survey. Alternatively, a survey might make use of already available data,

collected for another purpose. A survey may be cross-sectional (data

collected at one time) or longitudinal (collected over a period). Because of

the largernumber ofcases, a survey will generallyinvolvesomequantitative

analysis.

SAMPLE TECHNIQUE

Samplingis a technique whichhelpsusin providing a solution of a given problem

is a lesser amount oftime at a lessercostbystudying a subpart (small section) ofthe

population and withoutusingmuch oftheefficiency.Inthis project,non-probabilityconveniencesamplingis adopted.

HYPOTHESIS

A hypothesis consists either of a suggested explanation for an observable

phenomenon or of a reasoned proposal predicting a possible causal correlation

among multiple phenomena. The term derives from the Greek, hypotithenai

meaning "to putunder" or "to suppose." Thescientificmethod requiresthat onecan

test a scientifichypothesis. Scientistsgenerallybasesuchhypotheses on previous

observations or on extensions of scientific theories. Even though the words

"hypothesis" and "theory" are often used synonymously in common and informal

usage, a scientifichypothesisisnotthesame as a scientifictheory.

NULL HYPOTHESIS

The Null Hypothesis ofthis project reportisthatthereis a positive result ofmaking

company survey in order to make effective use of manufacturing. Telecom

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

FREIGHT INTRODUCTION

Freight is a major cost head of the company. Every company puts an extra efforto

reduce thishead to thebest possibleextent in order to reduce itscost of the product.

The Company pays two types of freight which includes freight inward and freight

outward

Freightinwardisthe amountthatis paidbythecompany for acquiringgoods like raw

material, advertisinggoods or forbringing finishedgoods in thecompany. Like wise

the company purchases sugar, Carbon Di Oxide for manufacturing various types of

beveragesinits product portfolio.

Freight Outward is the sum that is paidby the company fordelivering goodsby the

transporters at thedistributors outlet. The freight rates are previouslydeterminedby

thecompany withthehelp of a contract/ agreement whichismadeto acquireservices

on a yearlybasis.

The rates for various stations are negotiated and after the process of negotiation the

agreementismade or renewed for providingservices. The agreementincludesvarious

terms andconditions whichis applicable from whenthetruckishired for a stationtill

thetimeitdoesnot reachesthedestination.

Like one oftheconditionis ofdetention whichmeansthatthetruckshouldbeunloaded

by the distributor within 24 hours of reaching the distributors outlet if the truck is

detained for more than 24 hours then the company has to pay extra charges to the

transporterso asto remuneratethe labouremployedbythetransporter.

Entering Billing in Computer

This procedureisusedbythe accounts receivableclerkto completedailybillingsto

customers.

The Procedures:

Step-1: Shipping Paperwork-Findtheshipping paperworkinthe shippers

boxinthemail room. The paperworkshouldinclude a handwrittenshipping log, as

well as white andgreencopies ofthebills of lading. Separatethesedocumentsinto

different piles.

Step-2: Verify Bills of Lading [or Air Way Bill for airshipment]-Verifythat

thereis a bill of lading forevery order listed ontheshipping log, and also that all

bills of lading are listed onthe log. Then putthebills of ladingin order, firstby

customernumber andthenby ordernumber (ifthereismorethan one order per

customer). Next,checkthe carrier column oftheshipping log. Most orders will

have CustomerPickup listednextto them. Any accompanying freightsheetis

filled outbytheshippingdepartment. These areusuallyturnedin ahead oftime and

keptin a file. Pull outthe appropriatesheets,becausethey areneeded forinvoicing.

Step-3: Review Freight Sheets - Review the freightsheets. Ifthebill of lading

reads Packing List onthetop,the orderhas alreadybeen pickedbytheshipping

department. Ifit reads Customer OrderPick list andtheshipmentquantities are

handwrittenintheblanks,the orderstill mustbe picked. To pick an order,go to

SHIPinthesoftware,entertheissuetype, andthenenterthecustomernumber. If

thequantityshowing onthescreen for anitemmatchesthequantityhandwrittenin

thebill of lading, pressENTERto pickthatitem. Ifthequantitiesdiffer,typethe

handwrittenquantityinto the order and pressENTER. Pick all oftheitems onthe

order, andthen proceedto thenext order.


62/81

62

Step-4: List All Picked Orders-The resulting listshouldinclude all the orders

inthestack, plus any ordersshipped outtoday. Inthisstep,go throughthe list and

choose onlythose ordersthat wereshippedthe previousday and for whichthere are

bills of lading.

Itmaybedifficultto determinethe ordernumbers forsomeshipments,because

theremaybemorethan onesequencenumber forthesamecustomer ordernumber.

Youmayneedto look at all ofthe orders with a particular ordernumberto findthe

correct one. To pick one,makesuretheitemnumbers andquantitiesmatchthebill

of lading.

Step-5: Check Pricing-Checkthe pricing foreach order andverifythatthereis a

charge for pallets andshipping. Enterthecustomer ordernumber andsequence

numberto check prices. Eachcustomerhas a pricesheetinthe pricebookthat lists

current prices for all oftheitemsit orders. The pricesheet will also tell you whether

ornotto chargethatcustomer for pallets. Thisis also wherethe freightsheetis

used. Checkthe freightcode onthe order andmakesurethatitmatches whatthe

shippingdepartmenthas written onthe freightsheet. Ifthecodeis prepaid, do not

chargethecustomer for freight. Ifitis prepay and add, youmust addthe amount

onthe freightsheetto theinvoice. Ifthe order wassentcollect,there will beno

Conclusion

Gone are thedays when training was a 2 hour process on the firstday of the

job. Training has transformed from an add-on function to a core function of

companies. It hasbecome more of a science with systematic rules and formats

guiding thecompanies onhow to go about training anddevelopment. And that is

the wayitshouldbe.

Providescomprehensive passiveinfrastructuresolutionsto wirelesstelecom players

bothinIndia as well as overseas. Focusing oninnovation and R&D, ATPL has

developed a range ofinnovative productsthathelp providecost-effective,energy-

efficient,integrated, passiveinfrastructuresolutions,to telecomcompanies. It

shouldbeborneinmindthatthetool appliedinthestudyto analysistheefficiencyandeffectivenessin financial management aremost appropriate ones.

The future woulddemandmore fromtheemployees as well asthecompaniesin

terms of productivity. New technology,multi-tasking,group culture,etc. will be

moreemphasizedupon. Thismeanstraining anddevelopmentisgoingto beeven

alreadyin preparationsto maketheirstaffbetterequipped. Onthis weconclude our

report withthe following words Educationends withschool but learningends with

life.

Freighttransportationisintegral to increasedeconomicdevelopment and

improvedquality of life. A thoroughunderstanding of freightmovementis keyto

enhancingthese aspects of our region andinidentifying waysto improve

SUGGESTIONS

Now I would like to give thesuggestionsspeedup passing ofbills,so that the

companycan passmore andmorebillsintheminimumtime. First and foremost

thing which consume more and more time for passing ofbills in the whole

process is the checking the raw material by quality department. So my

suggestionis forqualitydepartmentisto checkthemore andmore raw material

intheminimumtime. So physical checking of raw material shouldbe fastbythe

quality department. I m study of these company. Analysis that terms &

condition workingconditions oftheemployeesthat are ranking orderissemantic

forms treated as workers. So study about the department & plant . Take my

advice,Dont get thebell curve in performance appraisals. It is one of thebiggest

blunders of thecentury andneeds to stop now I assumeyou really arenot

aware ofstatistics when asked thatquestion. Thebell curve will do moreharm

thangoodinyourhand. So leaveit andtrythe 5 pointsystem.
