INTRODUCTION
 INTRODUCTION

Human Resource Management (HRM) has gained acceptance in both academic and commercial circle.
HRM is a multidisciplinary organizational function that draws theories and ideas from various fields
such as management, psychology, sociology and economics. There is no best way to manage people
and no manager has formulated how people can be managed effectively, because people are complex
beings with complex needs. Effective HRM depends very much on the causes and conditions that an
organizational setting would provide. Any Organization has three basic components, People, Purpose,
and Structure. In 1994, a noted leader in the human resources (HR) field made the following
observation: Yesterday, the company with the access most to the capital or the latest technology had
the best competitive advantage; 2 Today, companies that offer products with the highest quality are the
ones with a leg up on the competition.
That predicted future is today’s reality. Most managers in public- and private sector firms of all sizes
would agree that people truly are the organization’s most important asset. Having competent staff on
the payroll does not guarantee that a firm’s human resources will be a source of competitive advantage.
However in order to remain competitive, to grow, and diversify an organization must ensure that its
employees are qualified, placed in appropriate positions, properly trained, managed effectively, and
committed to the firm’s success. The goal of HRM is to maximize employees’ contributions in order to
achieve optimal productivity and effectiveness, while simultaneously attaining individual objectives
(such as having a challenging job and obtaining recognition), and societal objectives (such as legal
compliance and demonstrating social responsibility).
 NEED FOR THE STUDY

The need for studying overview of hr practices is to enlighten the knowledge of overview of
hr practices and that is following in the organization. The present study emphasizes the need of how the
organization fulfills its needs in overview of hr practices its human resources.

The key points of my research study are:

 To analyze the overview of hr practices of the organization.

 To make the more transparent in the organization.

 To suggest any measures/recommendations for the improvement of recruitment procedures.

 The study is to know that on what basis the organization is selecting a candidate.

 This study is to know the importance of recruitment and selection in the organization.

 To know if the organization is maintaining transparency in the process of hiring a candidate.

 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

 To understand the functions done HR Department, jindal stainless steel.

 To determine how stainless steel maintain recruitment and selection process.
 To examine the training and development program practiced in Jindal stainless steel.
 To highlight the compensation and benefits provided by Jindal stainless steel.
 To know how Jindal stainless steel maintains employee relationship with their employees.
 To provide some recommendations to improve the HR practice of the Jindal stainless steel.

METHODOLOGY
Generally research means analyzing and collecting the data regarding the selected topic and
editing the collected data and finally making a report in a formatted way regarding the selected
topic.

Methodology adopted is collection of information in a systematic manner in order to analyze

and verify a phenomenon.

The information is collected through primary and secondary sources during the course of the
study. That information was utilized for computing ratios after the analysis of which
interpretations were made.

In order to collect the data the bellow mentioned methodology is adopted for the study of
recruitment and selection process.

Data collection methods:

Primary Data:

The primary data was obtained using the survey method. These include the distribution of
questionnaires and collection of data from key respondents and professionals pertaining to the
construction industry.

In order to achieve the aim and objectives of the study, well-designed questionnaire with both
close-ended and open-ended questions were formulated to gather information from appropriate
respondents. The wordings were without bias and the questions provided multiple-choice
options, which gave the respondents the opportunity to present their ideas by way of selecting
from the options, provided.

Secondary Data:
The data which is already documented by someone else for particular purposes are said to be
secondary data. It is the data collected by someone other than the user. A clear benefit of
using secondary data is that much of the background work needed has already been carried
out or analyzed .Because the data already exists, you can evaluate them prior before using it.

These include desk review of both published and unpublished material including policy
documents, newspapers, internet, journals, articles, reports, bulletins, newsletters. The
secondary source was to get a deeper understanding of published information on recruitment
and selection. The information gathered from these sources helped guide the second phase of
the questionnaire structuring, distribution and collection of data from the key respondents.

Sampling design:

Sample is the small group taken under consideration from the total group. Therefore, I tried to
collected information from every kind of employee and manager from Aurobindo. Calculation of
sample size is based on simple random sampling technique for the project.

 Sample space –Jindal stainless steel ltd

 Samples - Employees and Managers

 Sampling technique -Simple random sampling

 Sampling size – 100 employees

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

 The study is confined to a limited period.

 Due to the limited sample size the no. of opinions given by these respondents cannot be
attributed to the total employees in the organization.

 The study is based only on the questionnaire analysis. Hence the success of the
study depends highly on the answers given by the respondents.

 The approach was limited only to the questionnaires and records.

 Results here derived only by analyzing the questionnaires.

 Total study is based on reports available at JINDAL STAINLESS STEEL only.

 The scope of study is limited to JINDAL STAINLESS STEEL.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
&
COMPANY PROFILE
 INDUSTRY PROFILE
Jindal stainless Steel industry one of the most important inputs to all sectors of the economy. Steel
industry is both a basic and a core industry. The economy of any nation depends on a strong base
of iron and steel industry in that nation. History has shown that the countries having a strong
potential for iron and steel industry have played a prominent role in the advancement in the
civilization in the world. Steel is such a items as nails, pins, needles etc., to surgical instruments,
agricultural implements, boilers, ships, railway materials, automobile parts. The great investment
that has gone into the fundamental research in iron and steel technology has helped both directly
and indirectly many modern fields of today’s science and technology. Steel is versatile and
indispensable item. The versatility of steel can be traced mainly of three reasons.
It is only metallic items, which can be converted and economically produced in tonnage quality.
It has got very good strength coupled with malleability.
Its properties can be changed over a wide range. Its prosperities can be manipulated to any extent
by proper hear treatment techniques.
Over view of the steel industry:
The Indian iron steel industry is nearly a century old with Tata iron & steel co (Tata steel) being
integrated steel plant being setup in 1907. Post independence the industry made a steady progress.
At present Indian is the 10th largest producer of steel in the world. In India, a major part of steel is
engineering applications. Followed by automobiles and constructions. The growth of steel, as well
known, is dependent upon the growth of the economy, industrial production and infrastructure
sectors. Over the last few years the performance of the Indian steel industry has been adversely
affected due to over capacity, cheap imports economic slowdown, declining global exports. Most
major steel companies, with the exception of Tata steel, have thus been reporting losses.
FERRO ALLOYS
Mining of the ore is key to the integration process. JSL stainless has chrome ore open cast mines
at sukinda, Orissa to support 40,000 tons per annum capacity Ferro chrome plant at Vizag. In
addition to this, JSL stainless has set up captive power plants, coke oven bat tries and submerged
Arc furnaces to produce Ferro Alloys. As part of this project, 2*60 MVA furnaces, largest in India,
with capacity of 150,000 tons per annum are already in operation and producing high carbon faro
chrome (HCFC). The state-of-the –art furnaces, and the briquetting press have been supplied by
SMS DEMAG AG, and kopernmarco of Germany respectively. The Ferro alloys complex also
comprises of 1*27.6 MVA Ferro manganese and2* 27.6 MVA Silicon manganese furnaces
supplied by sibeltherm, Russia to produce100,000 tons per annum. This complex is also equipped
with modern de-dusting, pollution control and waste management systems.

Ferro alloys refer to various alloys of iron with a high proportion of one or more other
element, manganese or silicon for example. It is used in the production of one or more other
element, manganese or silicon for example. It is used in the production of steels and alloys as raw
material. Ferroalloys are used to add characteristics of anti-corrosion and deoxidization. They are
a raw material to produce chemicals, welding electrodes and electrical.
DEFINITION
Ferroalloys refer to various alloys of iron with a high proportion of one or more other element,
manganese or silicon for example. It is used in the production of steels and alloys as raw material.
It is used in the production of steels and alloys as a raw material. Ferroalloys are used to add
characteristics of anti-corrosion and Deoxidation. They are a raw material to produce chemicals,
welding electrodes and electrical equipment.
PROPERITIES;
An alloy is metal that is composed of two or more different elements. For example, brass is copper
that has been alloyed with zinc (meaning it has some zinc added to it). Stainless steel is iron that
has been alloyed with chromium, and often nicked. Alloys all have different elements they are
composed of, and how much of each element is present.
 An alloy likes stainless steel is designed for corrosion resistance, whereas an alloy like
inconel (made from nickel, chromium) and small amounts of several other elements) is
designed to be able to operate at high temperatures.
 One property that almost all alloys have is that their melting point is lower than the pure
form of their base metal.

FERRO ALLOYS INDUSTRY:

 Ferro alloys producers have urged the center to raise the important duty from five percent
to7.5 percent to product the domestic industry.
“The current level of duty is not sufficient to protect the domestic industry. The government
has over the years reduced the duty on Ferro alloys, resulting in domestic players reducing
capacity,” said TS Secretary general, the Indian Ferro alloy producers’ association
(IFAPA).
The Indian Ferro alloys industry has a capacity of 4.04 million tones. According to industry
insiders, the output is enough to meet the steel industry’s requirement to produce more than
120 million tons steel. The government has been reduced the duty since 2005-06. It was
brought down to nil in 2008-09. The duty was raised to five percent in 2009-10 following
concerns raised by the industry. The imports shot up to187, 956 tons in 2009-10 from
97,334 tons in 2005-06. The value raise to Rs1514.7 core in 2009-10 from Rs 591.34 core
in 2005-06.

As a result the Indian industry was hit badly. At present, it is operating at 65 percent
capacity.
 The industry fears that imports will rise further.
 Sundaresan said higher import duty would help the government raise more revenue.
 The industry is also demanding that power tariffs be brought on a par with
international prices, which it says are three to five time less in other Ferro alloy
producing countries.
 At the same time, the industry had told the government not to raise the import duty
on low as low phase metallurgical coke and Ferro nickel that are not available in
the domestic market.
 The industry has also asked the government to withdraw the inverse duty structure
in the noble ferroalloys sector to protect domestic Ferro vanadium producers, who
may have to stop operations for want of raw material.
 The producers are used as additives to produce high-grade steel used in
infrastructure, automobiles and tools. The industry is catering to the critical raw
material requirements of large steel producers like steel authority of India ltd. Jindal
stainless ltd and essar steel.
  All producers come under micro, small & medium enterprises and employee about
10,000 people directly and indirectly.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES:
PERFORMANCE:
The economic boom in china and India has led to massive increases in the demand for steel
over the past decade, contributing significantly to the 6% p.a. growth in world steel demand
from 2000-2005. In addition, several Indian and Chinese steel firms have risen to
prominence like metal steel (which acquired the world’s largest steel company , areole steel
to become the undisputed market leader), Tata steel (TISCO) (which bought the world’s
fifth largest steel company , Corus Group in 2007). Shanghais baosteel Group Corporation
and shagging group.

cap to meet the accelerated demand, the industry, which is at present working near its
operative a city, is looking for new innovative in product maximization and cost cutting
technologies such as thin-slab casting, steel industry faced a sharp downturn. this was due to the
dual whammy of poor demand and shrinking liquidity in the global market place. Developed
countries, especially, saw construction and automotive industries all but come to a halt. Demand
from developing countries such as china, too, tapered off somewhat.
India has been a major global player in the iron and steel industry thanks in part to the
governmental support. Liberalization in the early nineties, which allowed massive foreign
investment and pricing autonomy, along with policies of unrestricted external trade, low import
duties, and an essay tax structures, have further stimulated growth of the industry.
Today India is the world’s 7th largest crude steel producing country. The premier steel plants
operating in India are bokaro steel plant at Jharkhand, Rourkela steel plant at Orissa, Durgapur
steel plant at west Bengal and Bhili steel plant at Chhattisgarh.
GROWTH POTENTIAL:
The steel industry employees people with many different skills and diverse knowledge, who have
the ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams. These include metallurgy, materials science,
physics, chemistry, engineering as well as mathematicies, it, languages, business, accountancy and
many other subjects. Most steel companies can offer challenging and rewardining careers, often in
an international context with opportunities for employees to quickly gain experience,
responsibility and leadership. Training and recruitment opportunities are available across various
functions, including manufacturing & production, engering & process development, technology,
R&D, product development and logistics, among others.

FUTURE PROSPECTIS:
Candidates interested in this industry can be reassured of strong demand and lucrative
opportunities over the coming years, as local players expand their operations in both the domestic
and foreign markets. Players such as jindal stainless steel and Tata steel have progressively grown
in size and stature and continue to recruit an increasing number of top caliber candidates across all
areas of their business.
DAMPENED GROWTH:
Although India's steel industry is growing at a rate higher than a lot of the other developing
countries, the effect of the worldwide economic slowdown can be felt in the dampened rate of
growth. With higher inflation and interest rates, the automotive and construction industry are likely
lower domestic demand in the short term. Slowdown in china might redirect some of its production
in the form of cheap imports to India.
INCREASING CAPACITY:
Indian steel companies are ramping up their capacity through both Greenfield and Brownfield
projects. Small companies are developing niche sectors like this production of sponge iron. India
is the fifth largest producer of crude steel with 72 mpta capacity and the government has signed
222 memorandums of understand for an additional 276 mpta capacity. Although it is unrealistic to
believe that all MO US will be completed in this economic climate, the projection of the ministry
of steel that by 2015_2016 India will be the second largest producer of steel seems very plausible.

RAW SUPPLIES:
China, India and rest of Asia were spared from the Sharp economic slowdown and have retained
relatively high level of economic. However, the steel and other industrial sectors have been
plagued by the intermittent shortages of raw supplies like iron ore and domestic coking coal.
PROFILE OF THE INDIAN IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY
WHY STEEL?
Sled is crucial to the development of any modern economy and is considered to be the back bone
of the human civilization. The level of per capita consumption of steel is treating as one of the
important indicators of socioeconomic development and living standard of the people in any
country. It is a product of large and technologically complex industry having strong forward and
backward linkages in terms of material flow and income generation. All major industrial
economics are characterized by the existence of a strong steel industry and the growth of many of
these economics has been largely shaped by the strength of their steel industries in their initial
stages of development.

THE LONG JOURNEY:

Only after liberalization of steel sector, the exports of iron and steel have once again started
increasing. Thought the country's production of iron and steel is sufficient to meet the domestic
demand, some quantity of steel however is always needed to be imported. The finished steel
production in India has grown from a mere 1.1 million tons in 1951 to 26.71 million tones
in1999_2000. During the first two decades of planned economic development.i.e. 1950_60 and
1960_70 the average annual growth rate of steel production exceeded 8 percent. However, this
growth rate could not be maintained in the decades to follow. During 1970_80, the growth rate in
steel production came down to 5.7 percent per annum and picked up marginally to 6.4 percent per
annum and picked up marginally to 6.4 percent per annum during 1980_90. Though India started
steel production in 1991, steel exports from India began only in 1964. Exports in the first five years
were mainly due to recession in the domestic iron and steel market. Once domestic demand
revived. Exports from India began only in 1964. Exports in the first five years were mainly due to
recession in the domestic iron and steel market. Once domestic demand revived, exports declined.
India once again started exporting steel only in 1975 touching a figure of one million tons of pig
iron export and 1.4 million tons of steel export in 1976_77. Thereafter, exports again fell rapidly
to meet rising domestic demand, especially those grades and qualities which are required in small
quantities and therefore do not justify setting up of production capacities.
POST_LIBERALIZATION SCSNARIO:
FINISHED CARBON STEEL:
Today, India is the tenth largest steel producing country in the world. This sector represents around
90000 cores of capital and directly provides employment to over 5 lakhs of people. The Indian
steel sector was the first core sector to be completely freed from the licensing regime and the
pricing and distribution controls. This was done primarily because of the inherent strengths and
capabilities demonstrated by the Indian iron and steel industry. During 19996_97, finished steel
production shot up to a record 22.72 million tons with a growth rate of 6.2 percent while the
finished Steel production increased in 1997_98 & 1998_99 was only 2.8 percent and 1.9 percent
respectively as compared to the 20 percent in 1995_96 and 6.2 percent in 1996_97. The growth
rate in 1999_2000 has, however, improved and stands at 12.1 percent. The production of finished
Steel during April September has been 14.65 million tons.
This fall in the growth rate of steel production has been brought about by several factors which
inter alia include general slowdown in the industrial production and construction activities in the
country coupled with lack of growth in major steel consuming sectors.
The economic reforms and the consequent liberalization of the iron and steel sector which started
in the early 1990’s, brought about a sea of change in the industry, particularly in the field of setting
up of new/ Greenland steel plants in the private sector.
All India financial intuitions cleared 19 projects involving an annual capacity of about 13 million
tons of saleable steel at an investment of Rs 13,000 crores. Out of these, 8 projects have already
been commissioned with an annual capacity of 4.2 million tons. Four more projects have been
commissioned and are in trial production. Other projects are at various stages of implementation.
Thus it will be seen that n the years to come, the percentage production of the private sector will
be seen that in the years to come, the percentage production of the private sector will be much
larger than production of public sector in the steel industry.

APPARENT CONSUMPTION OF STEEL:

Also adjusted in arriving at the consumption figures. Contribute about 11.449
million The long term projections of steel demand, which formed the basis of capacity planning,
during second and third five year plans were based on an optimastimic rise in per capita
consumption of steel and high absorption of steel in the economy. This optimism was based on the
growth rates of different sectors, structural changes in the economy and import substitution. The
finished steel consumption, which was only 18.66 million tons in 1994-95, has increased to 25.01
million tons in 1999-2000.
India’s per capita crude steel consumption as per the figures available for 1997 was only 22kg,
which is far below the level of other developed and developing countries-395kg, 289kg and 84kg
in USA, the EU(15) and china respectively. The world average was around 126kgs in 1997. With
the ongoing economic liberalization resulting in faster economic growth, the steel consumption is
expected to increase rapidly apparent consumption of steel from the total of domestic production
and import arrived at by subtracting export of steel from the total of domestic production and
import of steel in the country. Change in stock isotones and 2.41 million tons respectively. With
Tesco’s contribution of 3.1 million tones of finished steel, the integrated steel plants are expected
to produce 16.959 million tons. The balance 21.053 million tons would be from the secondary steel
sector during 2001-02. In other words, the secondary sector is expected to contribute about 55.4
percent of the availability of the finished steel in the country.
It will be seen that out of the total estimation of investment of Rs 52,174 corers in iron and steel
sector during IXth period made by the working group,, public sector’s contribution was expected
to account for about 38 percent and the balance 62 percent of the investment supposed to be coming
from private sector, but subsequently, the planning commission undertook a detailed and in-depth
exercise to determine the exact investment’, which the public sector undertakings in the steel sector
would be expected to make during the plan period. The planning commission has finally approved
a plan Outlay of Rs 19,197.88 crores for PSU’s for IXth five year plan. Total approved outlay of
Rs 19,197.88 crores includes a budgetary support of only Rs 90 crore, which constitutes only 0.47
percent. The remaining investment proposed to be made by PSU’s will be met
In so far as private sector is concerned, as mentioned earlier, the AH India financial Intuitions have
cleared 19 medium/large projects involving an annual capacity of approximately 13 million tons
of saleable steel and investment of over Rs 30,000 crores. Ministry of Steel has formulated a well-
knit scheme and investment for raising technological and managerial skills, quick decision making
for product planning, man-power deployment etc.
IMPORT AND EXPORT OF IRON AND STEEL:
POLICY FRAME WORK:
The general policy and procedures for export and import of iron and steel, ferro alloys and ferro
scrap are at present decided by the ministry of steel has formulated a well-knit scheme in
consultation with ministry of steel. With the liberalization of India’s trade policy and
commencement of export-import policy for 5 years (from 1-4-1997 to 31-3-2002), the policy for
import of iron and steel materials has undergone sweeping changes, import of all steel is freely
allowed.
Exports of all items of iron and steel are also freely allowed. Exports of high grade iron ore, chrome
ore and manganese ore are made through designated canalizing agencies subject to the ceilings
imposed by the government, in order to conserve high grade ores for domestic consumption and
production of value added materials. Consistent efforts are being made by the ministry of
steel/development commissioner for iron & steel to ensure adequate supplies of domestic raw
materials to meet requirements of engineering exporters.
IMPORT OF STEEL
India had been annually importing about 10to 15 lakh tons of steel. However, due to picking up of
domestic demand, the import of saleable steel in 1994-95 increased to 1.93 million tons. The
increase in import was mainly in hot rolled coils, cold rolled coils and semis. Import of saleable
steel during 1998-99 was about 1.8 million tons which was about 9% more than import in 1997-
98.

EXPORT BY IRON AND STEEL SECTOR:

India has already registered its presence in the global market in the recent years. While India started
steel production in the year 1911, steel exports from India started only in 1964. However, steel
exports have been sporadic in the initial years. From 1964 to 1968 India exported a large quantity
of steel mainly due to recession in the domestic iron and steel market. Subsequently, exports
declined with revival of domestic demand. India once again started exporting steel from 1975,
touching a record export of steel in 1976-77, India exported 1 million tons of pig iron and 1.4
million tons of steel. Thereafter, exports again valued at Rs.283 crore. As a result of various policy
measures taken up by the government like liberalization of import-export policy, introduction of
flexibility in the advance licensing scheme and convertibility of rupee on the capital account, the
export of iron & steel showed a quantum jump to 2.92 million tons valued at Rs. 1978 core in
1993-94. In 1995-96, the export was of the order of 2.79 million tons valued at Rs. 2,275 crore.
The export of iron & steel was 2.4 million tons valued at Rs.2937 crore. During 1998-99, the export
of iron and steel was 2.4 million tons valued at rs.2,509 crores; the decline is attributable to the
global slowdown in the steel sector.
THE ROAD AHEAD:
With the onset of liberalization, the steel industry has now to gear-up, not only to domestic
competition in terms of product range, quality and price. The growth of steel sector is
intricately linked with the growth of the steel consuming sectors. India has become self
sufficient in iron and steel materials in the last 3-4 years. Exports are raising and imports
are falling. Production and production capacities are increasing. This position needs to be
further consolidated and issues affecting production and consumption need to be further
consolidated and issues affecting production and consumption need to be resolved on a
continuous basis. At the same time, productivity of our steel plants must be maintained at
levels in helping the steel industry to overcome bottlenecks in the growth of this sector.
With these efforts, the IXth plan projection for finished steel of 32 million tons for domestic
consumption and 6 million tons of export can be achieved, as also the projections for
availability of 3.75 million tons of pig iron and 6.18 million tons of sponge iron. India is
already recognized as a global player in the steel industry and this sector is poised to play
a key role in the international steel scenario by the turn of the century.

his industrial career with a small bucket- manufacturing unit in hisar. In 1964, he commissioned a
pipe unit jindal india limited, followed by a large factory in 1970 under the name jindal strips
limited.
Sh. Jindal always had the conviction that india should be self-reliant in every sector of industry.
He visited several foreign countries to elicit latest industrial technical development and know-how,
which he aptly applied to enhance production of his industrial establishment. With the growth of
industrial establishments he created thousands of jobs in backward areas, built schools and
hospitals and was the minister of power in Haryana at the time of his trgic death in a helicopter
crash in 2005.
In November 2004, sh jindal was conferred the prestigious “life time achievement award” for his
outstanding contribustion to the Indian steel industry by the Bengal chamber of commerce &
industry. His life’s mission was to help others particularly the common man in every possible way.
The list of his philanthropic activities is rather long. He was the chairman of n.c. jindal charitable
trust under whose auspices jindal institute of medical sciences, vidya devi jindal school and op
jindal modern school run. As a social reformer, he was dedicating his maximum time for
alleviating poverty of the economically backward people. Sh jindal always advocated for granting
a rightful place for weaker sections in politics. He firmly held the view that all differences in life
that exist today can be amicably resolved with meaningful meetings and dialogues. For these
qualities he commanded great respect amongst the masses.
Like industry even in politics he had a successful story to tell. He received tremendous support
and cooperation of people in the political arena and resultantly became a member of the Haryana
legislative assembly in 1991. Soon after sin 1996, he was elected as a member of parliament in the
11th lok sabha from the kurukshetra parliamentary constituency of Haryana with a landslide
victory. Infact, he was the first industrialist of india to be elected as a member of parliament in
lokshaba. Sh. Jindal was a sitting congress MLA from the hisar legislative assembly and was
appointed minister of power. Govt of Haryana at the time of his tragic death. Sh. Jindal won the
hisar legislative assembly seat of Haryana consecuitively thrice.
Sh. Jindal’s mantra was “where others saw walls he saw doors”. Then whether it was opening
doors or breaking down walls he always led the way. The life journey of sh. Op Jindal from a
framer’s son to a successful industrialist, a philanthropist, a politician and a leader would serve as
a great source of inspiration for generations to come.

Products:
Stainless steel:
Stainless steel – an anti- corrosive aesthetics product is produced with unique two stage liquid
steel processing technology. It is the most recycled commodity with varied product life cycle
depending upon usage. Stainless steel products offer immense market potential for industrial,
infrastructure, transportation, home, architectural and construction applications.

Types of stainless steel:

Stainless steel grades are essentially alloys of iron with more than 10.5% choromium. these
grades may contain additional elements of nickel, manganese, carbon, nitrogen and silicon.
They can further be modified for special purposes by addition of molybdenum, titanium,
niobium, silicon, sulphur etc. a wide range of these grades have been developed based on
specific requirements. These are classified into following categories based on their micro
structure:
Austenitic stainless steel:
Austenitic stainless steel grades are characterized by superior corrosion and oxidation
resistance, weldability, ductility and toughness compared to ferritic and martenstic stainless
steel grades for similar levels of chromium. Austenitic stainless steel grades exhibit excellent
resistance to atmospheric corrosion. They effectively withstand attack of organic acids (e.g.
acetic, lacto, citric etc.), exhibit good resistance to oxidizing acids (e.g. nitric acid) and fair
resistence to mineral acids (e.g. sulfuric acid). These grades are well suited for severe forming.
Some grades work harden to a high degree while others have been developed to minimize this
tendency. work hardening is advantageous in certain cases where high strength is required.
Austentic stainless steel grades are nonmagnetic in annealed condition but depending on
composition, they may become mildly magnetic when cold worked. These stainless steel
grades possess good high temperature properties such as creep strength and resistance to
oxidation or scaling. They also exhibit excellent low temperature ductility and impact strength.
Austenitic stainless steel grades can be readily fabricated by bending, drawing, spinning,
punching, drilling, machining and welding and can be readily polished to a high finish. Theses
attributes make them very versatile and popular for diverse applications in a variety of
industries. There are two broad categories of austentic stainless steel chromenickel (300 series)
and chrome manganese (200 series). Currently, chrome-nickel is the largest produced stainless
steel category globally. Typical applications for this category include food processing,
chemical plants, pharmaceutical equipment, hospitals, textile, architectural, building
construction, kitchenware, consumer durables etc. chrome-manganese stainless steel is the
fastest growing of stainless steel categories on account of its high performance to cost ratio. Its
applications include kitchenware, cutlery, sinks, automotive trim, architectural, buildings,
furniture, buses, trains and ornamental tubes.
Martensitic stainless steel:
Martensitic stainless steel grades are plain chromium grades containing 11.5% to 18% of
chromium with relatively high carbon content (0.1%-1.2%). Initially developed for cutley,
these are well suited for applications requiring high hardness and resistance to abrasion and
erosion. These grades are magnetic and display fair cold forming characteristics. Although
these can be hardened by air cooling, oil quenching is sometimes used to assure uniform
hardening. These grades can be welded but require stress relieving after welding. They exhibit
their best corrosion resistance in the hardened condition and perform well in mildly corrosive
environments. martensitic stainless steel grades are commonly used for knife blades, surgical
instruments, fasteners, shafts, spindles, valves and pins.
Ferritic stainless steel:
Ferritic stainless steel grades are non-hardenable plain chromium grades with chromium
content varying from 10.5% to 28% and with low carbon content. These are magnetic and
exhibit a better resistance to corrosion than martensitic grades. These grades are employed in
applications where the desired formability, weldability and corrosion resistance is between
those of martensitic and austentic types. The ferritics can be polished or buffered to achieve
high luster.
Duplex stainless steel:
Duplex stainless steel grades contain relatively high chromium (between 19% and 28%) and
moderate amounts of nickel (1% to 8%). This combination of ferritic and austenitic structures
is called duplex. Many of these grades contain molydemum (1% to 5%) and nitrogen (0.05%
to 0.3%). Some duplex stainless steel grades also contain manganese (up to 5%), corrosion
cracking and chloride ion attack and have higher yield strength than that of austenitic or ferritic
steel grades. These properties combined with suitable design lead to material saving, high
quality fabrication and welding are possible if the operator is trained well. These grades are
used in marine applications, offshore platforms, paper and pulp industry, chemical,
petrochemical and desalination plants.

Krome 16+
The ideal “food contact” stainless steel for kitchenware.
Its unmatched advantages make it the best replacement for 200 and 300 sreies in the cook ware
& utensil applications.
What is krome 16+
 Krome 16+ from jindal stainless is a branded stainless steel in coil form conforming to AISI
430 grade it is a ferritic solution offering many advantages in the manufacture of cookware
and utensils.
Chromium (not Nickel, as is sometimes imagined) is the key ingredient for the corrosion
resistance of stainless steels. Krome 16+ contains minimum16+ chromium for high corrosion
resistance.

Advantages of krome16+:
 Superior thermal conductivity over 200 and 300 series stainless steels. This help in
conducting heat more evenly than austenitic grades resulting in heating the food must
faster and saving fuel in cooking.
 Excellent high temperature oxidation resistance upto 800c making it less prone to
scaling than austenitic grades.
 Expands and distorts less than austenitic grades when heated due to lowexternal
expansion.
 No risk of delayed cracking unlike austenitic grades.
 Costs les since it has no nickel. Copper and has very low manganese.
 Stable price.
 Brilliant & lustrous aesthetic appeal.
 Its lower density leads to 2-3% more utensils of same size per ton of sheet compared
to austenitic grades.

Ease of fabrication:
 Exhibits excellent deep draw ability.
 Very well suited to all methods of forming stainless including bending drawing, stretch
forming and spinning.
 Easier to cut and work than austenitic grades.
  Requires less powerful machines for fabrication.
 Generates less tool wear.
 Comparatively lesser spring back than austenitic grades after cold forming.
 Higher yield in utensil manufacture.

Krome 16+ fully conforms to international standards for food equipment/contact materials:
 American national standard NSF/ANSI 51 (2007).
 French standard NFA 36-711 (APRIL2002).
 French decree no. 92-631 (8.7.1992).
 European regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004(27.10.2004)
 Chrome manganese.
 JINDAL STAINLESS is the largest producer of chrome manganese stainless steel in the
world. Share of cr-mn grade has witnessed the fastest growth in global stainless steel
consumption in recent past helps in sustainable growth of stainless steel through
minimizing substitution by other competing material.
 Typical applications.
 Due to their good formability, weldabilty and corrosion resistence.
 JINDAL STAINLESS 200sreies grades can be used for applications as detailed below:

THEROTICAL FRAME WORK OF THE STUDY

INTRODUCTION

Over view of hr practices:

The success of any business depends as much on appropriate, effective, well-communicated,
HR and business practices as it depends on meeting the requirements of mandated laws
andregulations. In fact, good planning and the development of effective practices make
regulatorycompliance much easier.HR practices helps in increasing the productivity and quality,
and to gain the competitiveadvantage of a workforce strategically aligned with the organization’s
goals and objectives.

Scope of overview of hr practices:

The scope of overview of hr practices is very wide and it consists of a variety of operations.
Resources are considered as most important asset to any organization. Hence, hiring right
resources is the most important aspect of practices.. Every company has its own pattern of
overview policies and procedures.

The scope of overview of hr practices includes the following operations −

 Dealing with the excess or shortage of resources

 Preparing the practices for different categories of employees

 Analyzing the overview policies, processes, and procedures of the organization

 Identifying the areas, where there could be a scope of improvement

 Streamlining the hiring process with suitable recommendations

 Choosing the best suitable process of practices for effective hiring of resources

Any organization wants it future to be in good and safe hands. Hence, hiring the right resource is
a very important task for any organization.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL – DEFINITION

Performance appraisal is defined by Carrol & Schneider (1982) as “the process of identifying,
observing, measuring, and developing human performance in organization”. Identification criteria
initiate the appraisal process to determine what has to be examined. The observation criteria
indicate that the supervisors need to frequently observe the identified characteristics. The
measurement component means that the superior (manager) has to translate the observations into
a judgmental rating. The performance appraisal by development component shows that the
performance appraisal should not only be the evaluation of the past. The supervisor or manager,
who makes the appraisal, should also focus on the future and on the improvement of the results. It
is also suggested by the definition that effective appraisal can improve the human performance in
the organization, which also indicates increased employee motivation. Performance appraisal can
and should be linked to process of performance improvement and used to identify training needs
and potential future objectives, support a career development and solve existing problems.
IMPORTANCE OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
 Performance appraisal helps supervisors to assess the work performance of their
subordinates

 Performance appraisal helps to assess the training and development needs of

employees.

 Performance appraisal helps to assess the training and development needs of

employees.

 Performance appraisal provides grounds for employees to correct their mistakes, and it
also provides proper guidance and criticism for employee’s development.

 Performance appraisal provides reward for better performance.

 Performance appraisal helps to review the potentially of employees that their future
capability is anticipated.

PROCESS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

The performance appraisal systems comprise of job description, performance standards and
observation of employee performance as explained hereunder.
Job Description:
Job description involves listing of essential functions and the tasks to be done under each job. It
is a process of collecting, analyzing, and documenting the important facts systematically about a
job. It also provides a basis for job related selection procedures and performance standards. It
specifies the specific job functions and tasks; the functions and tasks which are essential; the
percentage of time typically spent performing each function; the skills, knowledge and abilities
required to perform the job successfully; and the physical and mental requirements of the position.
Performance Standards:
Performance standards describe how well a job should be performed. The performance standards
offer a benchmark to evaluate the actual work performance. When performance standards are
developed in collaboration with the employees for whose positions they are being developed, it is
highly likely that the standards will be appropriate to the requirements of the job; reflect the
realities of the work context and conditions; be understood by the employee and performance
manager; be accepted by the employee and the performance manager.
Observing Employee Performance:
As part of performance appraisal, managers must constantly observe the work performance of an
employee and provide appropriate feedback to him / her. Feedback should be based on the
observation of work related behavior. Such observation of employee behavior enables the
management to identify the shortcomings in his / her performance. This facilitates an employee to
be successful at the job by 63 continuously developing his or her skills, knowledge and
competency. Wherever a manager cannot directly observe an employee’s performance it is
desirable to put in place a process that enables the management to know how they are functioning
from time to time.
The most critical part of performance appraisal is assessing, summarizing and developing the work
performance of an employee. At least once in a year, every employee enjoys the benefit of looking
at his performance appraisal done objectively against the set standards by the manager. Meeting
and discussing of manager with the employee about the appraisal process before writing is
desirable as it fosters mutual understanding of the extent of process in order to enhance the
employee’s acceptance of the outcome.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL METHODS

Traditional Methods
Essay Appraisal Method:
In this method, appraiser rates the employee in an open-ended manner and put down his
impressions about the employee on a continuous basis. These impressions relate to strong and
weak points of the employee’s behavior. In essay appraisal methods, appraiser takes note of
various factors such as (1) Job knowledge and skills exhibited by the appraise while performing
his job; (2) Appraisers’ relationship with the employees and manager; (3) Appraisers personality
traits and attitude towards his job, peers, manager and the organization; (4) Appraisers’
understanding and commitment to organization’s goals and objectives; and (5) Appraisers’
potential for organizational future roles. This method is the simplest evaluating method in which
evaluator writes an explanation about employee’s strength and weakness points, previous
performance, positional and suggestions for his/her performance improvement at the end of
evaluation term.
Grading:
With this technique, the rater (appraiser) considers certain features and marks these features
according to a scale. The selected features are likely to be analytical ability, cooperativeness,
dependability, self-expression, job knowledge, leadership and organizing ability; and graded as
A-Outstanding, B-Very good, C- Average, D-Fair, E-Poor and F-Very poor. The actual
performance of an employee is then compared with these grades and he / she is allotted the grade
which best describes his performance.
Ranking Method:
Under ranking method, superior ranks his subordinates in order of their merit, starting from the
best to the worst. The relative position of each employee is expressed in terms of his numerical
rank from highest to lowest. It is assumed that the difference between the first and second 72
employee is equal to difference between 11th and 12th employee. In this method, the manager
compares each person with others than work standards.
Checklist Method:
Using this method, the evaluator (appraiser) has a checklist, which is a presentation of
employee’s characteristics and performance and compared across employees. The final outcome
from the comparison can be quantitative and give weight to characteristics.
Rating Scales:
The rating scale method is the simplest and the most popular method for appraising employee
performance. The typical rating-scale system consists of several numerical scales. Each scale
represents a job-related performance criterion such as dependability, initiative, output,
attendance, attitude, co-operation, and the like and scale values ranges from excellent to poor.
The rater checks the appropriate performance level on each criterion, and then computes the
employee’s total numerical score.
Critical Incident Method:
Under this method, an appraiser focuses on key factors which make difference in performing a
job efficiently. This method is more credible because it is more related to job and based on
individual’s performance than characteristic. The necessity of this system is to try to measure
individuals‟ performance in term of incidents and special episodes which take place in job
performance.
Paired Comparison Method:
Under this method, the appraiser (rater) compares each employee with all others in a group one
at a time. In the end, on the basis of the overall comparisons, the employees are given the final
rankings.
Modern Methods
Assessment Centre:
An assessment centre typically involves the use of methods like social / informal events, tests
and exercises apart from giving assignments to a group of employees to assess their
competencies to take 74 higher responsibilities in the future.. Generally, employees are given an
assignment similar to the job they are likely to perform if promoted. This review of potential is
concerned with forecasting the direction in which an individual’s career should go and the rate at
which he is expected to develop.

Management by Objectives:
Management by objectives, or shortly called as MBO, is a technique credited to management
Guru Peter Drucker, to describe a method of performance management that is based on the
setting of clear and measurable objectives, and the use of those objectives to evaluate and review
performance. MBO is probably the best and fairest way to plan for and create effectively
performing employees when done correctly.
Human Resource Accounting Method:
Human resource accounting method tries to find the relative worth of human resource assets in
the terms of money. In this method the performance appraisal of the employees is judged in
terms of cost and contribution of the employees.
360 DEGREE FEEDBACK
The 360 degree feedback, also known as 'multi-source feedback, is first developed at General
Electric, US in 1992 and this system has also become popular in our country. General
Electronics (GE) (India), Reliance Industries, Crompton Greaves, Wipro, Infosys, Thermax are
using this method with great benefits.

SUMMARY
FINDINGS
SUGGESTIONS
 SUMMARY

Human resource management refers to the process of recruiting and developing a company’s
workforce. The HR department is concerned with identifying talent gaps in a company,
advertising for positions, evaluating potential candidates, and hiring top talent.Human resource
management does not just handle the recruitment of new employees; it also oversees the
redundancy for companies that want to downsize. HR management also oversees orientation
programs to introduce new employees to the company’s goals, objectives, and policies. Overall,
human resource management guarantees the smooth running of employees within a company.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is the term used to describe formal systems devised for
the management of people within an organization. The responsibilities of a human resource
manager fall into three major areas: staffing, employee compensation and benefits, and
defining/designing work. Essentially, the purpose of HRM is to maximize the productivity of an
organization by optimizing the effectiveness of its employees. This mandate is unlikely to
change in any fundamental way, despite the ever-increasing pace of change in the business
world. As Edward L. Gubman observed in the Journal of Business Strategy, "the basic mission
of human resources will always be to acquire, develop, and retain talent; align the workforce
with the business; and be an excellent contributor to the business. Those three challenges will
never change."

Until fairly recently, an organization's human resources department was often consigned to lower
rungs of the corporate hierarchy, despite the fact that its mandate is to replenish and nourish what
is often cited-;legitimately-;as an organization's greatest resource, it's work force. But in recent
years recognition of the importance of human resources management to a company's overall
health has grown dramatically. This recognition of the importance of HRM extends to small
businesses, for while they do not generally have the same volume of human resources
requirements as do larger organizations, they too face personnel management issues that can
have a decisive impact on business health. As Irving Burstiner commented in The Small Business
Handbook, "Hiring the right people-;and training them well-;can often mean the difference
between scratching out the barest of livelihoods and steady business growth'¦. Personnel
problems do not discriminate between small and big business. You find them in all businesses,
regardless of size."
Business consultants note that modern human resource management is guided by several overriding
principles. Perhaps the paramount principle is a simple recognition that human resources are the most
important assets of an organization; a business cannot be successful without effectively managing this
resource. Another important principle, articulated by Michael Armstrong in his book A Handbook of
Human Resource Management, is that business success "is most likely to be achieved if the personnel
policies and procedures of the enterprise are closely linked with, and make a major contribution to, the
achievement of corporate objectives and strategic plans." A third guiding principle, similar in scope, holds
that it is the HR's responsibility to find, secure, guide, and develop employees whose talents and desires
are compatible with the operating needs and future goals of the company. Other HRM factors that shape
corporate culture-;whether by encouraging integration and cooperation across the company, instituting
quantitative performance measurements, or taking some other action-;are also commonly cited as key
components in business success. HRM, summarized Armstrong, "is a strategic approach to the
acquisition, motivation, development and management of the organization's human resources. It is
devoted to shaping an appropriate corporate culture, and introducing programs which reflect and
support the core values of the enterprise and ensure its success."

 CONCLUSION

way to ensure effective workplace management. An organization can achieve success only when
its employees corporate through team work.
