SWOT ANALYSIS

COMPANY PROFILE

Sir Shri Ram


Nothing can better sum up the homage paid to great son and philanthropist of Delhi, Barey Lalaji, Sir Shri Ram who began as a humble worker and went on to set up one of India's largest business houses - the DCM Group. Not only did Lalaji achieve great height in business enterprise; he also participated in full measure in the crucial early stages of nation building. Everyone is familiar with the name of multiple facets of the industries and institutions on which he left his imprint - be it the DCM Limited, Bengal Potteries, Jay Engineering Works, many sugar mills, Sindri Fertilizers, the Lady Shri Ram College, Shriram College of Commerce, Delhi School of Economics and umpteen others. But who is this Barey Lalaji?

Born into a family of Agarwal banias of modest means, Shri Ram, in the 79 years of his life, built an industrial empire manufacturing a vast variety of goods like - textiles, sugar, alcohol, heavy, chemicals, vanaspati, pottery, fans, sewing machines, electric motors and capacitors. The industrial legacy that he left behind was valued at Rs 600 million at the time of his death. Reared in milieu which graft nepotism, black marketing and tax evasion were considered a must for success in business, Shri Ram set for himself rigid standards of morality in his dealings with the public and government and made no compromises in order to earn more money or gain a favor. While himself deprived of opportunities for higher education, he nevertheless understood how, important such education was in building the future of a nation. As a result he helped to finance a network of schools, colleges, industrial institutes and research laboratories. He was also the founder chairman of the Industrial Finance Corporation and Chairman of Sindri Fertilizers, the first national venture in the public sector in free India

Little is known of Shri Ram's ancestors. Khuswant Singh writes in his "Shri Ram: A Biography" of the oldest family name on records, is the one of Kanji Mal. Nothing more is known about him. One of Kanji Mal's descendants was Rattanchand who was a confectioner. He was the grandfather of Shri Ram's grandfather. Rattanchand was a man of influential means. He was able to secure for his son Badri Das, the post of treasurer in the Karnal Commissariat of the British Army.

Badri Das was very mature for his age and he fared well by saving and investing in buying real estate in Firozpur and Delhi. He died in 1874 leaving behind four sons of whom the youngest, Bishambar Das was somewhat more distinguished. Bishambar Das had three sons - Gopal Rai, Girdhari Lal and Madan Mohan Lal. Shri Ram was born to Madan Mohan Lal and his wife Chando Devi on April 27, 1884. While Shri Ram lacked formal education he read extensively. His reading included religious scriptures, Sanskrit classics, Urdu and Persian poetry and some English biographies. He assiduously cultivated men of learning and culture.

But most of all he admired scientists on whom he pinned his hopes for the salvation of his country. One of his lovable eccentricities was that he carried out experiments to produce new varieties of food in his own room and then subjected his none too robust digestive system to his new recipes. The secret of Shri Ram's enlightened approach to people of different faiths lay in his basic patriotism, making money was of little consequence to him; not once did he succumb to the temptation of netting an extra buck or two in the black market or by evading tax.

He was an idealist who believed in raising India into an industrial nation. His love of India did not make him dislike or distrust Pakistan. Many of his friends were the members of the Muslim League. At the behest of his friend in Lyallpur Cotton Mills in Pakistan, Khan Sahib Ahmed Islam Khan, he laid the foundation of a mushaira what in the later years came to be known as the Shanker-Shad Mushaira. Shri Ram had this uncanny ability to spot the right man for the right job a rare quality that contributed to his success. He made many mistakes in the choice of friends but seldom did he err in the selection of a business executive. Shri Ram's choice was not based on the scrutiny of a "Curriculum Vitae" but on an inborn gift, a sort of built-in Geiger-counter which ticked when he came across the man he was looking for.

This helped him to pick up a humble mistry and make him a work manager, to convert an engineer into an administrator, to mould a perfume-seller into the overall head of a vast enterprises producing precision instruments and so on. So sure was Shri Ram with this instinct that once he made up his mind about the man, he gave that man every latitude, there after his sole concern was with the results. Shri Ram, described by his umpteen friends, was indeed a true friend. He refused to believe that any of his friends exploited him.

And many did quite blantantly. He made friendship into an article of faith. "His house was like a dharamshala" remarks 90 years old freedom fighter Aruna Asaf Ali. He was unable to eat food unless every seat at the table was occupied. This indiscriminate hospitality at times Caused great strain to the members of his family. But his principle was, "the more, the merrier."

While just in his thirties, Shri Ram got himself known in the industrial as well as the educational circles. He was nominated to the Delhi Municipal Committee. Through his business connections with Ram Bahadur Lala Sultan Singh and more to with that of his son, Raghubir Singh, who had started the Modern School in Delhi, Shri Ram began to think of problems of education in India.

He ensured that his sons Murli Dhar, Bharat Ram and Charat Ram went to the Modern School where children of more advanced Indian families were studying.

He also was instrumental in setting up several prestigious institutions of higher learning and arts such as the Lady Shri Ram College and Delhi School of Economics, Shriram Center for Performing Arts etc.

Our strengths are:

Strong energy management expertise both in the area of generation as well as effective utilisation of energy.

Deep understanding and knowledge of Indian rural milieu developed with over 40 years of close work with farmers to improve his economics.

Fertilizers DSCL fertilizer operations are characterized by highly optimized production process delivering high capacity utilization & proven abilities in erection, commissioning. Operation & troubleshooting of Ammonia /Urea plant. HIGHLIGHTS: Date of Commissioning of plant February 1969 Present production capacity(Urea)3,30,000MT/Annum

DSCL's Urea operation have consistently earned production and productivity awards for its performance. Its well-established distribution network in North and West India allows the unit to service farmer needs effectively with a consistently high quality product.

It is for these reasons that SHRIRAM Urea enjoys a premium position its markets. Sugar Sugar is a key component of our agri-business portfolio. Our sugar operations functioned as an independent company within our Group until March 2004 when they were merged in DSCL. These sugar operations commenced in 1998 in central Uttar Pradesh, where the first sugar mill was established through a green field project at Ajbapur. We later acquired an existing sugar mill in the same region, at Rupapur, in 2003 emerging as a major sugar producer in central Uttar Pradesh.Two new sugar mills at Hariawan and Loni were commissioned this year. We now have a combined installed capacity of 33,000 (tonnes crushed daily and a power generating capacity (bagasse based) of 70.5 MW . which is being further expanded to 94.5 MW, with an exportable surplus of 51.5 MW for the grid. .All our sugar plants are self-sufficient to meet their own power requirements from bagasse. We are also exporting power to the UP state grid.

Gomti sugar Gomti Sugar Ltd., a unit of Ghaghara Sugar Ltd., an enterprise of DCM Shriram Consolidated Limited, New Delhi, is a 6000 tcd sugar mill situated at Ajbapur village, JB Ganj, Kheri district, in central UP. The plant was commissioned in November 1997 with a crushing capacity of 3125 tcd. The continued efforts in the cane development front and growth thrust of the Management have made possible to reach todays crushing level of 6000 tcd. Manufacturing Overview: We have four sugar production facilities,at Ajbapur, Rupapur, Hariawan and Loni located in central UP. All of our production facilities are completely self-sufficient with access to reliable captive power, based on bagasse which is a sugar by-product, and are equipped with modern equipment and machinery. These in turn have made us one of the most efficient crushers and producers of sugar in the country. We established our Ajbapur facility as a greenfield project in 1998. It is a new and modern plant with high levels of automation and process control systems similar to a chemical plant. Resultantly, this plant's output is of premium quality, commanding the highest prices in our market region. It is also one on India's fastest growing factory in terms of cane area, crushing and recovery, and capacity. At the time of inception, this plant had a capacity of 3,125 TCD which has since been expanded to 10,500 TCD. The plant has a captive power capacity of 38 MW which is used for meeting its own requirements as well as export to the UP state grid.In addition to having in place a technologically superior factory, we also have strong business processes in place for continuous improvement of operating efficiency parameters. Our Ajbapur plant is supported by ERP resources (SAP R/3) as well as TQM and institutional bidding initiatives. It is the first sugar factory in the country to receive ISO 9000, ISO 14000, and OHSAS 18000 certifications simultaneously. Our Rupapur unit was acquired by us in 2003. This factory had been established in 1996, with its main machinery and plant supplied by Krupp which is well-regarded for superior technology. This plant's capacity was increased after acquisition from 3500 TCD to 6500 TCD.

Two new sugar mills were commissioned in February 2007 at Hariawan and Loni (8000 tcd and a 12 mw co-gen plant each),taking our total capacity to 33,000 TCD and making us the fifth largest player in UP. The expansion of Co-gen is being undertaken at these two units by additional 12 MW each to be commissioned by November 08. Raw material Sugar cane procured from growers around our factories is the primary input for our sugar operations. Over 2, 00,000 farmers supply us with cane. In order to facilitate the procurement of sugarcane, we have set-up over 250 cane centres at our sugar mills.This has significantly reduced the time taken in getting cane to our manufacturing facilities. The average distance covered by growers is around 5-7 kilometres and within 48 to 72 hours cane reaches our factories after harvesting. In order to ensure sustainable supply of high quality sugarcane, we invest time and resources towards training farmers and helping them in improve their yields as well as recovery. We also assist farmers with soil fertility mapping for judicious fertiliser usage. Our team of experts have also been engaged in popularising the use of bioferlisers, modern agricultural inputs, and other plant protection measures among cane growers, resulting in improved yields per hectare. With a view to improve post-harvest recovery, we help farmers with varietals propagation and replacement of low yield/low recovery varieties. We have also implemented an assured irrigation scheme in our cane areas, providing irrigation means to ensure irrigation to the entire cane crop that we ultimately procure and use for sugar production. This is also helping us popularise cost-effective irrigation methods within the farming community. Our efforts towards ensuring long-term, good quality cane supply are augmented by our participation in infrastructure development for facilitating cane supplies, including construction of road networks, providing means of transportation of cane, and assisting in the computerization of the local banking operations. Recognizing farmers as our principal partners in progress, our operating philosophy is to enhance the economic status of sugarcane farmers while pursuing our own growth objectives..

We believe that our trust-based relations with farmers built on mutual respect and understanding is an intangible asset that strengthens the overall operating profile of our sugar business and allows us to also extend to them our other agri-business offerings. Hariyali kisan bazar

On 16th July 2002, the first retail outlet was inaugurated at village Del Pandarva (Distt. Hardoi) on the Delhi-Lucknow highway near the DSCL's Gomti Sugar complex. This 10,000 sq ft store is a one-stop shop providing the farmer with a range of multi-brand agri inputs such as fertilizers, seeds pesticides, micro-nutrients, bio-fertilizers, agricultural implements, tools and farm fuels.

The store is also geared to provide farmers with expert agronomic guidance and services like soil testing, water testing, pesticide application services etc. Other value added farm services are to be added in due course. After the initial pilot phase comprising of 4 stores in different parts of the country, it is proposed to roll out the concept nationally.

In the future, Hariyali Kisan Bazars plans to move beyond agri into other categories like durables, furniture, electrical, fast-moving consumer goods, to cater to other needs of farmers as customers. "Hariyali Kisaan Bazaar" - a rural business centre, is a pioneering micro level effort, which is creating a far-reaching positive impact in bringing a qualitative change and revolutionizing the farming sector in India. It is also an example of how well meaning corporates can contribute to development of agriculture by building sustainable business models. DCM Shriram Consolidated Ltd. (DSCL), capitalising its over 35 years of experience in the agriinput markets & first hand knowledge of Indian farmers, is setting up a chain of centres aimed at providing end-to-end ground level support to the Indian farmer & thereby improving his "profitability" & "productivity". The key constraints of the Indian farming sector, being addressed by "Hariyali" are:

Lack of last mile delivery mechanism of modern agriculture know-how & practices. Lack of availability of critical good quality agri-inputs. "Middlemen" driven farmer interface. High cost credit. Lack of direct access to buyers of varied & high value crops.

The "Hariyali Kisaan Bazaar" chain, seeks to empower the farmer by setting up centres, which provide all encompassing solutions to the farmers under one roof. Each "Hariyali Kisaan Bazaar" centre operates in a catchment of about 20 kms. A typical centre caters to agricultural land of about 50000-70000 acres and impacts the life of approx. 15000 farmers.

Each centre is engaged in:

Bridging the last mile: Provides handholding to improve the quality of agriculture in the area. Provides 24X7 support through a team of qualified agronomists based at the centre.

Quality Agri-Inputs: Provides a complete range of good quality, multi-brand agri inputs like fertilizers, seeds, pesticides, farm implements & tools, veterinary products, animal feed, irrigation items and other key inputs like diesel, petrol at fair prices.

Financial Services: Provides access to modern retail banking & farm credit through simplified and transparent processes as also other financial services like insurance etc.

Farm Output Services: Farm produce buyback opportunities, access to new markets & output related services.

Other Products and Services:Fuels, FMCG, Consumer Goods and Durables,Apparels etc.

These centers provide the much needed respect/dignity and freedom to the Indian farmer. In the near future, Hariyali Kisaan Bazaars plan to move beyond agri to meet the other needs of farmers as customers. Technology as an important enabler:- IT has been a critical backbone to the chain of centres. It is being used to provide online support on latest technical advancements, weather forecasts, mandi (market) prices, fair & transparent billing to farmers as well as in maintaining extensive farmer databases with micro information about the farmers' field to provide customized service to the farmers.

Farmer Response So far, over 185 "Hariyali" outlets have been set up in different states across India, which we plan to scale up to 300 by March 09 The ground-level agri-support is already yielding results in the farmer's fields. Whether it is adoption rate of high yielding seeds, right doses of fertilization, productivity of cattle-feed, moisture conservation measures, adoption of new crops/allied occupations or adoption of new technologies like zero tillage, the farmers in catchment of Hariyali centres are already way ahead of the national averages. Future Plans Hariyali Kisaan Bazaar has plans to rapidly scale up the operations & create a national footprint covering all the major agricultural markets of the country. This would mean catering to cultivable land of over 30 million acres and touching the lives of over 10 million farmers. Chlor alkali

The Chemical Business derives its core strength from its Chlor-alkali operations. With an installed capacity of approx. 110,000 TPA (49,550 TPA based on mercury cells & 62,000 tpa based on membrane cells) and a market share of approx. 8% in the Indian Chlor-alkali industry DSCL is a leading producer in the country. The strategic thrust of the business is to use it existing infrastructure and market presence to build value added products and services. As a first step, DSCL has moved aggressively to enter the water treatment area by setting up a state-of-theart plant situated at Kota, Rajasthan for a latest 3rd generation Polyaluminium Chloride (capacity 39,000 tpa).

We are amongst the first urea manufacturers in the country starting way back in the 1960's. Our fertiliser operations are characterized by highly optimized production process delivering high capacity utilization & proven abilities in erection, commissioning, operation & troubleshooting of Ammonia/Urea plant. Our Urea plant, commissioned in Februrary has a Production capacity of 379,000 TPA which includes a capacity of about 700 TPD of ammonia which is an ingredient in the Urea manufacturing process. We are the lowest cost naphtha-based urea manufacturer in the country. Our urea operation has consistently earned production and productivity awards for its performance. Located within our Kota manufacturing complex, our urea plant benefits from access to efficiently generated captive power and robust technical resources that reduce our cost of manufacturing. For the past several years we have been able to manufacture urea in a profitable manner with naphtha as the feedstock. In line with our intent to continuously explore and adopt better manufacturing practices and feedstock options, we have converted the plant into dual feed. The facility can now accept dual feedstock of naphtha and gas in any proportions.The necessary infrastructure for transporting gas from the source to the plant has also been put in place. Meanwhile, the Company has started running the plant on gas from Sep 07 onwards. This will further reduce our cost of production. Over the last 4 decades of operations, our brand SHRIRAM' has developed a strong presence in the rural market and is identified with premium quality reliability and high trust. The Company has also built up an extensive distribution network over the entire northern and central India.

We have recently made a successful entry into the Southern region where our products are gaining acceptance. Encouraged by the initial feedback from the farming community there, we plan to further strengthen our presence in that market.

TYPE OF RESEARCH
The research which I completed is based on secondary data. It is descriptive in nature. Descriptive research is also called Statistical Research. The main goal of this type of research is to describe the data & characterstics about what is being studies. Although this research is highly accurate, it does not gather the causes behind a situation . Descriptive research is mainly done when a researcher wants to gain abetter understanding of a topic for example, a frozen readymade company learns that there is a growing demand for fresh ready made but does not know much about the area of fresh food & so has to carry out research in order to gain a better understanding. It os quantitative uses surveys & panels & also the use of probability sampling. Descriptive research exploration of the existing certain phenomena. The details of the facts wont be known. The existing phenomena facts are not known to the persons. Through this project I understand many phenomena about many facts.

SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGTHS:

having its own power plant, thus reducing plant fulfills 905 requirement of power at lowest cost, thus increase in profitability of different plants.

improvement program at Kota plant improves the quality of the product. plant that converts waste generated at Kota into consistent quality, premium grade cement products. s only

WEAKNESSES:
Wet process of cement production consumes high power cost. Budgetary control is not implicated properly. Actual performance is very far from

budgeted estimates.

OPPORTUNITIES:
Govt. infrastructure efforts provide good fortune for cement industry. Good monsoon in this year have grate push to disposal income of the people rural area. Good financial help provided by banking sector is also a good opportunity for cement industry. The low per capita cement consumption in India also opens the way for extra progress. By the permission of the government, DSCL may commission more power plant at Kota and at other locations & sale the power to other factories.

THREATS:
Large plants are big problem in India. Overall growth of Indian economy is very less comparison to other developing countries. Change in govt. policy regard to tariff, electricity, custom duty, excise duty and power production is a big threat for cement industry in determining cost structure. Increase in diesel price encourages the major components of cement cost i.e. Freight. New players may offer more innovative sales for both the dealers & producers for

e.g. new company to consolidate its base may offer free gift on the product. This may have adverse on the DSCL traditional market.

THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE


It was really a learning experience for me to do Summer Internship training in the organization DCM Shriram Consolidated Ltd. The learning experience includes my hypothesis, expectation, experience in organization and also some experience out of the organization. It was my first experience to work in such a big organization with few guidelines and with liberty. I got the liberty to plan out my activities by my own but restricted by some boundaries. This training taught me that the classroom learning is very different from real life situations. I really experience that practical experience is far different than theoretical learning. I felt that it is important to apply the classroom learning in the work in your own way as each individual is different and have some qualities in own to do some in his own style.

Initially I was loaded with a lot of perceptions and worried about the way summer trainees are treated in the organizations. But , I found the reality completely different from what I heard before. There is some difference in summer trainees and employees but trainees are not treated as labour in the organization because they are showcase of organization with two months experience.

I learned various things apart from my project studies like Organizational Behaviour, Information studies etc . Management Process, System Thinking,

This experience changed my perspective of

looking at things. The practical seems easier than reading and analysing in theories. The more important is that we can observe the processes in between and can look at outputs and fold processes in between.

I really observed that different one have different qualities and combination make stronger. I learned team work there with colleagues. Some old trainees helped me to make me aware about the work culture which was really important for me. It was like training before training by the colleagues.

Conclusion
It is not surprising that Indonesian public hospital still provide minimum medical service with minimum funding support from the government. However, Public Hospital as a public service institution needs a condusive human resource performance measurement system to determine its worker effectiveness and efficiency weaknesses so it can achieve good corporate governance in the future. Balanced Scorecard has provided a foundation for both private and public sector to measure both sector performances. This foundation can be used by Indonesian public sector particularly regional hospital to improve its performance so in the end it might produce scorecard report regularly that is reliable. All steps from making Activity Value Chain, Job Description, Job Specification, Job Performance Standard, and Job Performance Scorecard can be easily followed as a standard for implementing the BSC into the public health sector. However, this paper is only limited on success story at three Indonesian public hospitals in Nusa Tenggara Province. Therefore future research should be more generalized to other public hospitals or other public sectors in Indonesia
