GLOBAL SCENARIO OF THE INDUSTRY

India is the world‟s largest producer of milk, the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables,

a major producer of spices, tea and coffee and has a large livestock population and vast marine

wealth. In fact, India, one can say, is almost sitting on a goldmine of processed food. There is not

only a potential for vast domestic market but also huge overseas market.

Today, vadilal is the familiar name in every Indian household. What started as a one man show

with a hand cranked ice-cream maker in a small retailer outlet has today grown to employ over

700 people. What started with the earning that could easily fit into a pocket, has today risen to an

annual turnover of Rs 1250 million of which around 25% is contributing by the export? What

started as a parlour with homemade ice-cream has already branched out into processed foods,

chemical and specific gases, construction and real estate, forex advisory services.

New Zealand. The company has also started selling processed food products in domestic market.

Among the products, one is Choc-bar and King Cone –all time favourites which have today

attained the generic status. Another one is Kulfi-traditional Indian milk sweet. Some of their

products are combination with confectioneries.

Since their products are highly perishable, quick transport and proper storage are of paramount

importance. Hence the refrigeration equipment and deep freezes are imported from companies,

which are world leaders in their respective fields. To ensure sufficient, timely and constant ice-

cream supply, they have a cold chain network comprising there manufacturing plants (totaling a

production capacity of 1.25 lack liter per day), about 23c&FA more than 500 distributors and over

40,000 Retailers.

NATIONAL SCENARIO OF THE INDUSTRY

a new ultra modern and highly sophisticated ice-cream manufacturing plant in the state of west

Bengal. The plant would have a small unit for food processing. The plant would have a capacity

of 50,000liters/day and will be located about at Sakhalin Industries Estate, Howrah 15 kms, from

and give it to the world. That is how Vadilal enterprises –the marketing arm of Vadilal Industries

came into existence.

level. The brand sales is Rs 165 crore and has ambitious expansion plans with investment of over

Rs 46 crore," the denial added.

Its turnover in 2006 was Rs 97 crores, while its profit was a mere Rs 2 crores. Though, Vadilal is

Sources say the company could fetch a total valuation of over Rs 200 crore and sources say the

company could earn over Rs 100 crore.

wooden drums called Kothis.

PROCESS FOOD DIVISION HISTORY

Vadilal entered the Horticulture Processing Industry in May 1991. Keeping pace with the

changing times, our operations were expanded, supported by in-depth knowledge of export market

and its dynamics. It did not take us long to add Processed Foods to the existing domain of Ice-

cream. No wonder, the efforts resulted into our recognition as one of the pioneers in exports of

Indian Frozen Food Products.

Just adding one more business was not enough. No stone was left unturned in order to achieve

highest standards of quality control. Equal importance was given to optimum cost-effectiveness,

too. To accomplish these vital tasks, efficient support services were developed, where

transportation and global distribution networks were put on top priority.

India identifies with its rich traditions, diverse customs and culinary expertise along with

kaleidoscopic people. Freshness of food is a backbone for winning the hearts. We were

determined to strengthen the same and to enhance the shelf life. So, to process the food, we use

“Individually Quick Frozen” (IQF) technique, which involves fluidized belt type continuous

freezing.

Maintaining the highest standards of quality is the foundation stone at Vadilal. We always ensure

to employ state-of-the-art production technology and strive to adhere to the international standards

of quality. This attitude has nourished the basic objective of the company to become a global

leader in Ethnic Indian Foods.

There is no secret behind these milestones. It is nothing but our persistent and committed efforts

to improve the quality of product as well as the same of customer service. The outstanding range

of processed food presented to you by Vadilal ends your search for the food you crave for. And,

the wide range of processed vegetables will erase the pre-conceived notion, if any, and will be an

excellent daily substitute for the relishing preparations.

Our endeavours to provide quality products are endorsed by ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 22000

(HACCP) certifications. We are also awarded the certificate of merit for excellence in export

performance by APEDA. Our aim is also set to obtain the British Retail Consortium (BRC)

certificate.

At Vadilal, the team of professionals is guided by the golden maxim “Good people make Good

products”. Here, each and every activity is a remarkable result of effective TQM. It is a pride to

mention that Vadial is a live know-how manual in Market Leadership.

In the arena of Indian exporters, Vadilal is acknowledged as a visionary force. This is essential to

be noted at the moment when the Ethnic Foods market, especially the Indian Ethnic Foods market,

is growing at startling rate, globally.

Brand franchise and supermarket promotions in USA, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand,

Japan and Gulf Countries have given a head start to our brand.

Today, Vadilal exports around 175 products, which include Canned and Frozen Vegetables

such as Pigeon Peas, Lima Beans, French Beans, Surati Papdi Lilva, Okra, Bitter Gourd, Yam,

Chilies etc., Curried Vegetables (Ready-to-eat) like Palak Paneer, Mutter Paneer, Dal Makhani,

Punjabi Kadhi, Rajma, Punjabi Chhole, Undhiu, Patra, Pav Bhaji, Mix Veg. etc., Ready-to-cook

(frozen) Parathas & Samosas along with Mango and other tropical fruit pulps, Slices & Dices, just

to name a few.

These products are being distributed under „Vadilal Quick Treat‟ brand in nearly 45 countries,

which speaks loud enough about its popularity and global acceptance.

Quality and Food Safety Objectives

To achieve continual improvement in customer satisfaction by 5% during the year

To train all employee in food hygiene during the year.

To reduce the packing material losses by 5% during the year

To ensure no product recall during the year with respect to the food hazards.

To save 5% water per unit of production during the year.

To save energy by 5% during the year

Quality and Food Safety Policy

We at vadilal industries limited firmly believe in providing quality and safe food products.

We shall achieve these goals by continual improvements and updating process, system &

skills of our employees.

We aim to be the leader in the ice cream industry by recognizing and adopting the changing

needs of our customers and win their confidence.

We shall be there the statutory and regulatory requirements.

We shall establish effective internal & external communication.

We shall adopt quality and food safety standards ISO 9001:2000, ISO 22000:2005 & BRC

global food standard.

Processed Food Division (GDP)

Agriculture represents almost one third of India‟s GDP, which is highest among developed and

developing countries. Moreover, India is world‟s 2nd largest producer of vegetables and fruits.

Food processing sector is the single largest organized customer of the agriculture sector. With

focused approach of GOI for development

of processed food industry, the production of processed Fruits & Vegetables in the country has

increased a lot in recent years. The food processing sector is growing at 8 to 8.5 %. The prominent

processed items are fruit pulps and juices, frozen fruits and vegetables, fruit based ready-to-serve

beverages, canned fruits and Vegetables, jams, squashes, pickles, chutneys and dehydrated

vegetables.

Future of the Industry looks very bright due to the developmental measures taken by Government.

Due to recent WTO implementation of Agricultural treaties, now subsidies on Food products

being given by European countries will be discontinued, therefore, Asian and other countries

would be more competitive in international markets.

In its recent policies, Government of India has recognised the importance of Processed Food

sector and decided to give boost to this industry through various policy measures. The excise duty

on certain ready-to eat packaged foods is reduced to 8% from 16%. The sector has also been

accorded priority sector status for the purpose of lending by Banks. This will result in increased

credit flow to this industry segment.

The Ministry of Food Processing Industries is the main agency of the government responsible for

developing a strong and vibrant food processing sector, with a view to create increased job

opportunities in rural areas, enable the farmers to reap benefit from modern technology, create

surplus for exports and stimulating demand for processed food. Agriculture & Processed Foods

Export Development Authority (APEDA), an autonomous body under Ministry of Commerce,

facilitates exports of agricultural & processed food products from India.

To give proper training as per their abilities and views.

To analysis the finding of the study.

INTRODUCTION OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Human resource management is a management function that helps manager to understand,

develop and maintain required no of members for an organization. It is a function to deal

with people, by people and for people. An organization must have set policies, definite

procedures and well defined principle which contribute towards the effectiveness,

continuity and stability of the organization.

The principle is an important function of management because; a good personnel policy of

an organization ensures availability and maintenance of required types of candidate and

also the removal of any dispute arising among the management and employees.

By observing the personnel policy at vadilal we can say that it has very good because the

relations between the management and the employees are very good and the personnel

department is able to obtain the personnel of the required qualification.

Their human resource department plays a major role in conducting specialized training

programmers, encouraging innovative ideas, including willingness to accept change and

rewarding all this with an attractive incentive package. They believe their people are the

most valuable asset who has made vadilal what it is today, and it is they who will take us

far beyond the horizon, in the days to come….

DEFINITION OF TRAINING NEED ANALYSIS

“A need assessment is the process of identifying performance requirement and the “gap” between

what performances is required and what presently exists”.

“Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for doing a particular

Job”

- FLIPPO

“Training is the systematic modification of behaviour through learning which occurs as a result of

education, instruction, development and planned experience.”

- MICHAEL ARMSTRONG

TRAINING NEED ASSESMENT FUNCTION

The training needs assessment is a critical activity for the training and development function.

Background: - Designing a training and development program involves a sequence of steps that

can be grouped into five phases:

1) Training need Assessment

2) Instruction objectives

3) Designing Programmed for Training

4) Implementation Training Programmed

5) Evaluation of Training Programmed

To be effective and efficient, all training programs must start with a needs assessment.

Long before any actual training occurs, “The training manager must determine the who, what,

when, where, why and how of training.” The training manager must analyze as much information

as possible about the following.

Organization and its goals and objectives.

Jobs and related tasks that need to be learned.

Competencies and skills that are need to perform the job.

Individuals who are to be trained.

INSTRUCTONAL DESIGN PROCESS

The system model consists of five phases and should be repeated in a regular basis to make

further improvements. The training should achieve the purpose of helping employees to perform

their work to required standards. The steps involved in system model of training are as follows:

1. Analyze and identify the training needs i.e. to analyze the department, job, employees

requirement, who needs training, what do they need to learn, estimating training cost, etc.

The next step is to develop a performance measure on the basis of which actual

performance would be evaluated.

2. Design and provide training to meet identified needs. This step requires developing

objectives of training identify the learning steps, sequencing and structuring the company.

3. Develop This phase requires listing the activities in the training program that will assist.

The participants to learn, selecting delivery method, examining the training material,

validating information to be imparted to make sure it accomplishes all the goals &

objectives.

ANALYZE DESIGN

IMPLEMENT

EVALUATE

DEVELOP

4. Implementing is the hardest part of the system because one wrong step can lead to the

failure of whole training program.

5. Evaluating each phase so as to make sure it has achieved its aim in terms of subsequent

work performance. Making necessary amendments to any of the previous stage in order to

remedy or improve failure practices.

LEVEL OF NEED ANALYSIS

There are the three levels of needs analysis: ORGANIZATION ANALYSIS, TASK

ANALYSIS, And INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS.

1) Organization analysis:

It looks at the proposed training within the context of the organization. A prime

consideration is whether or not the proposed training will be compatible with the

organization strategy, goals and culture and whether employees are likely to transfer the

skills they learn in training to their actual jobs.

If training is to be provided to a large number of employees throughout the organization,

analysis should know which units should receive. The training first answers which units

need it most. Alternatively, one may decide to begin with units known to be especially

receptive to training in order to develop a record of success and a positive image for the

training program among others in the organization.

The organization‟s future plans must also be considered. For instance a training specialist

would not want to plan a massive training effort for a product process that top management

plans to discontinue in a year of two. Finally the availability of trainers‟ facilities, financial

resources and the priorities of competing training programs must be considered as part of

the organizational analysis.

2) Task analysis:

The duties and responsibilities of the job, together with the knowledge, skills and abilities

needed to perform them are the focus of the second stage of needs analysis called task

analysis.

The purpose of this step is to verify that task is important and employees should be trained

for the same and also to develop in depth information about the task knowledge and

procedures that should be taught. The trainer will need to call on subject matter experts

such as superior and high performing employees to generate this information.

3) Individual analysis :

The final level of analysis looks at the individual to be trained. The individual analysis

attempts to determine which employees should receive training and what their current

levels of skill and knowledge. The trainer may single out individuals on the basis of their

past performance or select an entire work group or all incumbents with a specific job title.

Then the trainer assesses, or at least estimates, the skill and knowledge levels of the chosen

trainees, so that the training is their too simple or too complex.

NEED OR IMPORTANT OF TRAINING

Training is a vital and necessary activity in all organizations. It plays a large part in determining

the effectiveness and efficiency of the establishment. The need of or importance of training to a

business firm or industry may be explained as follows:

Heightens morale: Possession of needed skills helps to meet such basic human needs as

security and ego satisfaction. Elaborate personnel and human relations programmed can

make a contribution towards morale, but hollow shells if there is no solid core of

meaningful work done with knowledge, skill and pride.

Reduces supervision: The trained employee is one who can supervise himself. Both

employee and supervisor want less supervision. But greater independence is not possible

unless the employee is adequately trained.

Reduce labour problem: Employees are so well trained that they can experience the

direct satisfaction associated with a sense of achievement and knowledge that they are

developing their inherent capabilities at work.

Minimum accident and wastage: An important advantage of training is that accident,

spoiled work and damage to machinery and equipment can be kept to minimum by well

trained employees.

Increases productivity: Increased productivity is possible only when there is an increase

in quantity of output. Training programmed by increasing skill, aptitude and abilities of

workers result in increased productivity.

Increase organizational stability and flexibility: Stability, the ability of an organization

to sustain its effectiveness despite the loss of key personnel can be developed only through

creation of a reservoir of trained replacement, flexibility, the ability to adjust to short run

variation in the volume of work, requires personnel with multiple skills to enable their

transfer to jobs, where the demand is highest. There is no great organizational asset than of

trained motivated personnel.

Fulfils to manpower needs: When the skills are required by a company, it often finds it

most practical to select and train from within the organization rather than seek the skilled

personnel from the outside labour market.

Benefits to employees: As employees acquire new knowledge and jobs skills, they

increase their market value and earning power. The possession of useful skills changes

their value to their employer and thereby increases their job security. Training may also

qualify them for promotion to more responsible jobs. This of course, increases their pay

and status.

Obsolescence prevention: Training and development programmed foster the indicative

and creativity of employees and help to prevent manpower obsolescence which may be

due to age, temperament or lack of motivation or the inability of a person to adapt himself

to technological changes.

Learning time education: A well knit training programme reduces learning time to reach

the level of acceptable performance.

TYPES OF NEED ANALYSIS

Many needs assessments are available for use in different employment contexts. Sources that can

help you determine which needs analysis is appropriate for your situation are described below.

1) Context analysis:-

An analysis of the business needs or other reason the training is desired. The important questions

being answered by this analysis are who decided that training should be conducted, why a

training program is seen as the recommended solution to a business problem, what the history of

the organization has been with regard to employee training and other management interventions.

2) User analysis:-

Analysis dealing with potential participants and instructors involved in the process. The

important questions being answered by this analysis are who will receive the training and their

level of existing knowledge on the subjects, what their learning style is and who will conduct the

training.

3) Work analysis:-

Analysis of the tasks being performed. This is an analysis of the job and the requirements for

performing the work. Also known as a task analysis, this analysis seeks to specify the main

duties and skill level required. This helps ensure that training which is developed will include

relevant links to the content of the job.

4) Content analysis:-

Analysis of documents, laws, procedures used on the job. This analysis answers questions about

knowledge or information is used on this job. This information comes from manuals, documents

or regulations. It is important that the content of the training does not conflict job requirements.

An experienced works can assist in determining the appropriate content.

5) Training suitability analysis:-

Analysis of whether training is the desired solution. Training of one of several solutions to

employment problems. However, it may not always be the best solution. It is important to

determine if training will be effective in its usage.

6) Cost benefit analysis:-

Analysis of the return on investment of training. Effective training in a return of value to the

organization that is greater than the initial investment to procedure or administer the training.

There are some essential elements for the identification of a training need.

7) Young people:-

New entrants, who are undergoing intensive training before posting, People new to the job, new to

the department of section will need special treatment when the time comes to integrate them into

the work atmosphere.

Newcomers need helps to adjust to their new surroundings. Those who have served as an

apprentice in another industry will have to learn to apply their skills in the new technical field.

The dame applies to people who are transferred from another department of location.

8) People who are established in the job:-

We live in an age of accelerating change. People themselves experience change as they grow

older. The implication is that people have to learn to cope with the change in their environment

and with themselves.

9) People in groups:-

People spend a lot of time working in groups, attending meetings, working in conjunction with

people from other departments. Meeting are very often ineffective or group problems occur on

account of differences in objective. E.g the operations department seeks to maximize its output,

maintenance at any cost, while the accounts department would like to impose cuts in expenditure.

TECHNIQUES FOR DETERMINING SPECIFIC TRAINING NEEDS

There are a number of practical methods you use to gather data about employees‟ performance.

Each words well in given circumstance; therefore, you must determine which the best be for you.

None of these methods can stand alone. Always use at least two, if for no other reason to validate

your findings. One of those should always be observation.

1) Observation:

In this approach, an employee‟s performance itself is you source of information. You evaluate a

worker‟s performance through first-hand observation and analysis. This is best accomplished by

watching the worker and playing the role of non-participating observer. This means that you

watch and listen and evaluate what you see and hear, but do not get involved in this work process

in any way.

To make this activity more productive, use a checklist to remind you of what to look for and take

notes.

The objective during observations is to identify both the strengths to build on and the deficiencies

to overcome. A key advantage of using direct observation in the needs analysis is that you gain

first- hand knowledge and understanding of the job being performed and the strength and

weaknesses of the relevant worker.

2) Interviews:

The use of interviews in conducting the needs analysis is strongly urged. The prime value of

interview guides is that they ensure the same types of data from all sources. This allows you to

determine whether a piece of information is one person‟s opinion, or part of a widespread

perception. Since the interview guide forces you to ask each worker a number of predetermine

question, you must select those question that are essential to what you are trying to learn.

Interviews allow you to meet employees face to discuss their impressions of performance.

Because you are in conversation with workers, you can explore their responses in depth. You can

ask or clarification of comments and for examples of what they mean. In this way, you obtain a

full understanding of their performance deficiencies.

3) Questionnaires:

A questionnaire is a short of interview on paper. You create your own questionnaire by writing

down all the question you want employees to answer for you. Then you mail it to them and await

their responses.

The key advantage of a questionnaire is that you can include every person from whom you want

input. Employees can complete the questionnaire when and where they choose. You need not

travel and spend time with all respondents. Every employee is asked the identical questions, and

consequently data is very easy to compile and analyze.

Questionnaires can be useful in obtaining „big picture‟ of what a large number of employees think

while allowing everyone to fell that they have had an opportunity to participate in the needs

analysis process.

4) Job description:

Before establishing a job description, a job analysis must be made. This job analysis involves a

thorough study of all responsibilities of the relevant job. It is companywide in scope and should be

detail to such a degree that those conducting the training can use the job analysis as a yardstick for

their course content. After the job analysis phase has been completed, the writing of the job

description and needs analysis is a relatively simple task. When an employee‟s job description has

been defined, the trainer can easily tailor his training curriculum to a very close proximity of what

will be expected of the employees.

5) The difficulty analysis:

The job analysis will focus attention on enumerating the numerous duties that a worker must

perform. On the other hand, the difficulty analysis establishes which of the duties cause the

employees the greatest amount of troubles and how this trouble can be reduce through better

training.

6) Problem solving conference:

Another time-tasted technique for gathering needs analysis material from employees is to conduct

periodic problem solving conferences which may take the form of or be part of a plan or a new

product, task or technology, or tied in with a training program. It is always helpful to utilise an

outside consultant to moderate such session. This outside sponsorship has a tendency of letting the

worker express the felling about his organization, and the session can then be geared to training

needs. The current problem will evolve that represent potential areas for training.

7) Appraisal reviews:

During the periodic counselling performance interview, an employee should be questioned

regarding the duties and training of our worker. Comments rendered during the appraisal

interviews normally are genuine, and can frequently assist in establishing the needs, variations and

penetrations that training program should include. Feedback at appraisal interview time is

valuable since it is timely information. Training needs differ from worker to worker, and appraisal

session allows the employees and supervisor/manager to uncover the cause of weaknesses in

performance. These deficiencies represent areas for training.

Whatever the method used to identify training needs, at least the following three

points must be kept in view:

1) These methods should be used in combination; that is, there should never be reliance on

only one method

2) They may be used to identify training needs of each of the various groups of employees

3) They should be applied to individual employees since training needs will vary with the

individual employee.

APPROACHES OF THE TITLE

There are TWO approaches (proactive and reactive) to training need analysis:

Proactive TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS:-

The proactive TNA focuses human resources requirements. The HR function needs to be

involved in the development of a strategic plan (SWAT analysis). From the resulting unit

objectives, HR must develop unit strategies and tactics to be sure the organization has

employees with the required KSA (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities) in each of the critical

jobs based on future KSA requirements. Two approaches can be taken to develop needed

KSA.

Prepare employees for promotions/ transfers to different jobs.

Prepare employees for changes in their current jobs.

An effective, proactive procedure used for promotion and transfers is succession planning.

Succession planning is the identification and development of employees who are perceived

to be of high potential. The first step in development of a succession plan is to identify key

positions in the organization. These positions, if left vacant for any length of time, would

negatively affect organizational functioning. In practice, these positions often are high-level

management positions such as vice president of finance, plant manager and so forth, but

they could be at any level. Once the positions are identified, employees with the potential to

fill these key positions are identified. Information is then provided on employees‟ readiness

to fill the position if it becomes vacant. This information becomes the TNA.

When preparing employees for change in their current jobs, it is important that the TNA

identify the changes that are expected based on strategic objectives. Once expected changes

are determined, new KSA required for that job can be identified. These future KSA can be

compared with the incumbent‟s current KSA, and any discrepancies can then be addressed

through training.

MEANING OF RESEARCH

Research is composed of two syllables, a prefix RE and a verb SEARCH.

RE means again, anew, over again.

SEARCH means to examine closely and carefully, to test and try, to probe.

The two words form a noun to describe a careful and systematic study in some field of

knowledge, undertaken to establish facts or principles.

Research is an organized and systematic way of finding answers to questions.

DEFINITION OF RESEARCH

In the broadest sense of the word, the definition of research includes any gathering of data,

information and facts for the advancement of knowledge.

The Wheel of Science:-

Theory – Hypotheses – Observation – Empirical Generalization

DEFINITION OF METHOD

Methods are techniques – for data collection, for data analysis, and so forth. They are practical,

but are theoretically informed.

DEFINITION OF METHODOLOGY

This refers to theories of how research proceeds, and includes, for instance, consideration of

methods, of participants, but also what role the research has, ethics and so forth. Feminists, for

instance, have pointed to the interdependence of researcher and research. It is broader and more

theoretically or politically informed that methods are seen to be. Methods can be used in new

methodologies in new or alternative ways from those in which they are traditionally used.

OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH

The purpose of research is to discover answers to questions through the application of scientific

procedures. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not

been discovered as yet. Though each research study has its own specific purpose, we may think of

research objectives as falling into a number of following broad groupings:

1) To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights into it (studies with this

objective in view are termed as Exploratory or Formulative research).

2) To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group

(studies with this object in view are known as descriptive research studies).

3) To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated

with something else (studies with this object in view are known as diagnostic research).

4) To test a hypothesis of a casual relationship between variables (such studies are known as

hypothesis –testing research studies).

Types of Research

1) Exploratory Research:

Undertaken with the aim of clarifying ambiguous problems

General problems usually known but not sufficiently understood

The purpose is to get more information, not to uncover specific courses of action

(subsequent research).

Determining a specific course of action to follow is not a purpose of exploratory

research!

Example: Child-Care support programme for employees

2) Descriptive Research:

undertaken with the aim of determining the characteristics of a population or

phenomenon

Previous knowledge of problem exists

High degree of precision or accuracy required

Examples:

Who are the main consumers of organic foods?

How many students read the prescribed course literature?

Where do most holiday-makers travelling overseas go?

When do petrol stations tend to raise their prices?

3) Causal Research:

undertaken with the aim of identifying cause and effect relationships amongst variables

are normally preceeded by exploratory and descriptive research studies

Often difficult to determine because of the influence of other variables (concommitant

Variation and the presence of other hidden variables)

Example: Higher ice-cream consumption causes more people to drown (indicative of a

causal relationship (?)

CHARECTRISTICS OF A GOOD SAMPLE DESIGN

From what has been stated above, we can list down the characteristics of a good sample design as

under:

Sample design must result in a truly representative sample.

Sample design must be such which results in a small sampling error.

Sample design must be variable in the context of funds available for the research study.

Sample design must be such so that systematic bias can be controlled in a better way.

Sample should be such that the results of the sample study can be applied, in general, for

the universe with a reasonable level of confidence.

OBJECTIVES OF STUDY

To study the TRAINING NEED ANALYSIS of Vadial (frozen food) Industry‟s employees of

Ahmedabad.

SUB OBJECTIVE

To study significance of various attributes of training need is effective in frozen food‟s

employees.

To study these employees needs training.

RESEARCH DESIGN OF THE STUDY

Research design is basic plan. This guides the data collection and analysis phases of the

project it is the frame work.

I have used descriptive cross sectional design in my project.

A type of research design involving the collection of information from any given sample of

population elements only once. I have collected information from 35 employees feel that

training is needed.

DATA COLLECTIN

Data sources:-

Make research data can be broadly classified as primary data and secondary data.

Secondary data is either internal or external. So it is cheaper and more quickly obtain the

primary data and may also be available where primary data could not be obtain at all.

PRIMARY DATA:-

We collect primary data during the course of doing experiments in an experimental research

but in case we do research of the descriptive types and perform surveys, whether sample

surveys or census survey, then we can obtain primary data either through observation or

through direct communication with respondents in one form or another or through personal

interviews. This in other words, means that there are several methods of collecting primary

data, particularly in surveys and descriptive researches.

In this research topic, to collect primary data through direct contact with the

Employees (Questionnaire).

COLLECTION OF DATA THROUGH QUESTIONNAIRES:

This method of data collection is quite popular, particularly in case of big enquiries. It is

being adopted by private individual, research workers, private and public organizations and

even by governments.

In this method a questionnaire is sent to the persons concerned with a request to answer the

questions and return the questionnaire. A questionnaire consists of a number of questions

printed or typed in a definite order on a form or set of forms.

The questionnaire is mailed to respondents:

Who are expected to read and understand the questions and write down the reply in the

space meant for the purpose in the questionnaire itself? The respondents have to answer the

questions on their own.

The method of collecting data by mailing the questionnaire to respondents in most

extensively employed in various economic and business surveys.

SECONDARY DATA

Secondary data means data that are already available i.e. they refer to the data which have already

been collected and analyzed by someone else. When the researcher utilizes secondary data, then

he has to look into various sources from where he can obtain them. In this case he is certainly not

confronted with the problems that are usually associated with the collection of original data.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Total allotted time of three month for the research work is too short for reaching over

concrete conclusion. It is quite difficult to complete the research study in such short

duration.

As our selected topic is “Training Need Analysis”, it is compulsory for us to collect the

data personally. It is quite difficult that all persons are available on the right time at their

place.

As I have to collect the data from the persons who have joined the company during the

period of last two years, it is quite difficult to find appropriate no of persons in such

category.

Employees are not ready to share the fact because they have a fear of sharing the data with

their superiors.

Data has to be collected during the working hours of employee; number of employees was

refused to allot their precious time.

As our questionnaire was objective, different person had different opinion on the same

questions. So, it becomes difficult to analyze the data.

HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY

WHAT IS A HYPOTHESIS?

„Hypo‟ means „less than‟ & „thesis‟ means „generally field view‟. So, hypothesis is a “less

generally held view”.

Ordinarily, when one talks about hypothesis, one simply means a mere assumption or some

supposition to be proved or disproved. But for a researcher hypothesis is a formal question that he

intends to resolve. Thus a hypothesis may be defined as a proposition or a set of proposition set

forth as an explanation for the occurrence of some specified group of phenomena either asserted

merely as a provisional conjecture to guide some investigation or accepted as highly probable in

the light of established facts. Quite often a research hypothesis is a predictive statement, capable

of being tested by scientific methods, that relates an independent variable to some dependent

variable.

CHARACTERISTICS OF HYPOTHESIS

Hypothesis should be clear and precise. If the hypothesis is not clear and precise, the inference

drawn on its basis tested. In a swamp of un testable hypothesis, many a time the research

programs have bogged down. Some prior study may be done by researcher in order to make

hypothesis a testable one. A hypothesis “is testable if other deductions can be made from it

which, in turn, can be confirmed or disproved by observation”.

Hypothesis should state relationship between variables, if it happens to be a relational

hypothesis.

Hypothesis should be limited in scope and must be specific. A researcher must remember that

narrower hypothesis are generally more testable and he should develop such hypothesis.

Hypothesis should be stated as far as possible in most simple terms so that the same is easily

understandable by all concerned. But one must remember that simplicity of hypothesis has

nothing to do with its significance.

VARIABLES

A variable is a measurable characteristic that varies. There are three common variable types:

Dependent variables:

Show the effect of manipulating or introducing the independent variables. The variation in the

dependent

Variable depends on the variation in the independent variable.

Independent variables:

Are those that the researcher has control over. This "control" may involve manipulating

existing variables (e.g., modifying existing methods of instruction) or introducing new

variables (e.g., adopting a totally new method for some sections of a class) in the research

setting.

Control variables:

Research studies are very complex processes. It is not possible to consider every variable in a

single study. Therefore, the variables that are not measured in a particular study must be held

constant, neutralized/balanced, or eliminated, so they will not have a biasing effect on the

other variables. Variables that have been controlled in this way are called control variables.

Hypotheses testing based on chi-squares

Chi-square test

The chi-square is one of the most popular statistics because it is easy to calculate and interpret.

There are two kinds of chi-square tests. The first is called a one-way analysis, and the second is

called a two-way analysis. The purpose of both is to determine whether the observed frequencies

(counts) markedly differ from the frequencies that we would expect by chance.

The observed cell frequencies are organized in rows and columns like a spreadsheet. This table of

observed cell frequencies is called a contingency table, and the chi-square test if part of a

contingency table analysis.

Actually, chi square tests allow us to do a lot more than just test for the quality of several

proportions. I have used chi square test in QUE.3 of the questionnaire to verify whether the

different factors like, (customer satisfaction and marketing etiquette) because it is important for

employees of training.
