Qualitative Details:
A} Raw Materials & product type:
Bauxite & calcined petroleum coke are primary raw materials for this industry.
However, Alumina is raw materials for smelters and aluminum metal is raw material for
fabrication units.
B} Fuel Usage:
Coal, furnace oil and Electricity are primary energy inputs in aluminum production.
Coal is primarily used to generate steam, which is in the process while fuel oil mainly
used in calcinations of alumina and various furnaces in the fabrication plants.
C} Technology status:
Inverted over hundred years ago, Bayer-Hall-Heroult is the only available
commercial technology, even today for the production of Aluminum. Alumina is the basic

SWOT Analysis
External Analysis: - The second component of the strategic management process is
an analysis of the organization’s external operating environment. The essential
purpose of the external analysis is to identify strategic opportunities and threats
in the organization’s operating environment that will affect how it pursues its
mission. Three interrelated environments should be examined at this stage: The
immediate or industry environment in which the organization operates, the
country or national environment, and the wider socioeconomic or macro
environment.
Internal Analysis: - The third component of the strategic management process, serves
to pinpoint the strengths and the weakness of the organization. Such issues as
identifying the quality and quantity of the company’s resource and capabilities
and ways of building unique skills and company-specified or distinctive
competencies are considered here when we probe the source of competitive
advantage. Building and sustaining a competitive advantage requires a company
to achieve superior efficiency, quality, innovation, and responsiveness to its
customers. Company strengths lead to superior performance in these areas,
whereas company weakness translates into inferior performance.
4.1 STRENGTHS:
1. BAL’s product is used by fortune 500 companies.
2. They have been awarded as best suppliers every year by most of the Companies.
3. They extruded aluminum by using 100% aluminum ingots (raw Material). In which
there will be 99.5% of aluminum and 0.5% of other Metal contains.
4. They are meeting delivery time, which has resulted in customer
Satisfaction.
5. Customization of people supplying aluminum as per customer retention.
6. They have strong agents in international market, potential agent in export
Market and sells 1000 tones of aluminum per annum because of Quality.
7. Bhoruka aluminum is one of the organizations which have 6.5MT-anodizing tanks with
Extruding facilities.
4.2 WEAKNESS
1. BAL is having conventional technology in the company.
2. The overheads of the company are more because of strong union in the company.
3. Cost is more because of old handling system.
4. The costs are high compared to competitors.
4.3 OPPORTUNITIES:
With the implementation of the tenth five-year plan the govt. of India has placed
more emphasis on the construction activities. The commitment of statutory authorities in
concentrating on the forestation to a greater extent so also in discouraging use of wood
and timber for any sort of constructions has in fact resulted in acceptance of aluminum
products as the only economic and durable alternative in the building and construction
projects.
The in house facility of anodizing of extruded aluminum material is unique feature
with the company, which offers value added service to the customers.
Because of aluminum inherent qualities like strength to weight ration, corrosion
resistance, aesthetics, and versatility etc., scores over other materials. The aluminum
extrusion has a great potential as many new applications are being explored every year.
The implementation of the govt. allowing 100% FDI in retail sector will see
tremendous surge in construction with new designs that will improve the usage of
aluminum in construction. The long pending issue of VAT also settled during the year and
finally the Industry could see its implementation. The directors hope that these steps will
improve prospectus of the industry in general and the company in particular in the long
run.
4.4 THREATS:
The supply of primary aluminum in domestic market is controlled by 3 few large
industrial suppliers who are taking advantage of the fluctuating price, increase their price
regularly. These frequently price increases are not possible to be passed onto the
consumers because of competition. The ever-growing stiff competition in the market
creates pressure on the margins particularly with rising petroleum prices.

PART B
GENERAL INTRODUCTION :
Since employee welfare is very important, the study confines more on types of
welfare provided to the employees within and outside the organization.
The scope of the study is limited to labour welfare schemes with reference
to BHORUKA ALUMINIUM,MYSORE. The findings of the study is applicable to
Mysore unit only and conducting studies at the other branches can also make
similar findings. The labour welfare schemes may differ every year and therefore
the scope of the study is limited.
METHODOLOGY :
Methodology refers the systematic procedure carried out in any work, project
or research study. The method adopted for the data collection is both primary data
as well as secondary data.
The sampling units undertaken to carry out this study is 25% of the
employees working in BHORUKA ALUMINIUM LIMITED, MYSORE. The
selection of 50 employees from the organisation as sample is based on random
sampling technique. I have collected the data by using Questionnaires and by
direct interview for the workers.
Every business is bound to work under a cloak of secrecy and this may
result in inadequate generation of data. This kind of academic study which is
subject to supply of data from business records is expected to suffer certain
limitations which are listed below.
• The investigator could not collect much information relating to the topic
from the project guide due to his busy schedule.
• Certain information could not be parted with the investigator from the
ethical point of view.
• This study is subject to the quality of material available in the study unit.
• Due to time constraint the researcher could not interact with all the
employees of the unit under this study.
1. EDUCATION:
A scheme of workers’ education was envisaged on an all India basis by the
government of India, way back in 1957.
TRANSPORTATION:
There are several agencies involved in labour welfare work. Besides central
and state governments, employers, unions and social organizations work as agencies
for extending welfare facilities to the workers.
CENTRAL GOVERNMENT
The central government tries to extend its helping hand through various acts
covering the safety, health and welfare of workers. The factories Act, 1948, mines
Act, 1948, shipping Act, 1948, plantation labour Act, 1951, motor transport
workers act, 1961, employees state insurance act, 1948, etc., provide for canteens,
crèches, restrooms, washing facilities, etc. labour welfare officers oversee the
welfare activities closely and ensure justice to workers. Statutory welfare funds are
created to provide housing, educational, recreational and medical facilities to
workers.
STATE GOVERNMENTS
EMPLOYERS
clinics, credit societies, gymnasium, clubs, crèches, canteens, schools are also set
up by TISCO for the benefit of work for their works.
TRADE UNIONS
The various approaches to labour welfare reflect the attitudes and beliefs of
the agencies which are engaged in welfare activities. Welfare facilities may be
provided on religious, philanthropic or some other grounds. Moreover, the different
approaches to labour welfare reflect the evolution of the concept of welfare. In
bygone days, the government of the land had to compel the owner of an industrial
establishment to provide such basic amenities as canteens, rest rooms, drinking
water, good working conditions, and so forth, for their employees. Such
compulsion was necessary because the employer believed in exploiting labour and
treating it in an unfair manner. But times have changed, and the concept of
welfare, too, has undergone changes. .
WASHING FACILITIES
1. In every factory
a) Adequate and suitable facilities for washing shall be provided and
maintained for the use of workers therein;
b) Separate and adequately screened facilities shall be provided for the
use of male and female workers
c) Such facilities shall be conveniently accessible and shall be kept
clean.
2. The state government may, in respect of any factory or class or
description of factories or any manufacturing process, prescribe standards of
adequate and suitable facilities for washing.
1. The state government may make rules requiring that in any specified
factory wherein more than two hundred and fifty workers are ordinarily
employed, a canteen or canteens shall be provided and maintained by
the occupier for the use of the workers.
2. Without prejudice to the generality of the forgoing power, such rules
may provide for
(a) The date by which such canteen shall be provided
1. In every factory wherein more than one hundred and fifty workers are
ordinarily employed, adequate and suitable shelters or rest rooms a
suitable lunch room, with provision for drinking water, where workers
can eat meals brought by them, shall be provided and maintained for
the use of the workers.
Provided that any canteen maintained in accordance with the provisions of section
46 shall be regarded as part of the requirements of this sub-section:
Provided further that where a lunch room exists no worker shall eat any food in
the work room.
CRÈCHES
WELFARE OFFICERS
a) ‘Act’ means the factories Act, 1948 (Central Act No.63 of 1948);
b) The expressions “factory” and “occupier” shall have the same meanings
respectively assigned to them in the Act.
The International Labour Organization was born on April 19th 1919, as a result
of the peace conference convened at the end of World War 1 at Versailles.
OBJECTIVES OF ILO:
4. To formulate policies in regard to wages and earning, bonus, and the other
conditions of progress to all, and a minimum living wage to al employed and
in need of protection.
5. to get effective recognition of the light of collective bargaining, cooperation of
management and labour in continuous improvement of workers and employers

deducted from the worker’s salary. Of the above 12%, 3.7% is covered under
pension scheme. 13.61% is paid by the company ( 12% - employer, 1.1% - admission
charges for PF officer, 0.5% - EDLI, 0.001% - admission for EDLI.). The worker
who has crossed 10 years of service under account transfer gets PF after attaining

provided when the worker has served the company for more than 5 years. It is
also calculated by taking basic salary and DA into account. 15 days of salary for
every year is given as gratuity to the worker. Basic salary + DA * number of
years of service is divided by 26 days which gives the amount of gratuity paid to
the worker.
