The term 'development' conjures up images of vibrant towns, contemporary buildings and
well-connected roadways. Modern India is teeming with all these and Telco Construction
Equipment Company (Telcon) has had a sizeable role to play in creating them. The company has
been at the forefront of construction solutions and India has been using the company's hydraulic
excavators, cranes, backhoe loaders, wheel loaders, vibratory compactors and other equipment in
its rapidly growing construction, earthmoving and mining industries.
Telcon has been at the forefront of providing Constructive Solutions to the Indian
Construction, Earthmoving and Mining Industry. Started in 1961 as a division of Telco (now
Tata Motors), Telcon is an independent subsidiary of Tata Motors and a Joint Venture between
Tata Motors & Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. of Japan -world leaders in Hydraulic
Excavator Technology. Telcon has the widest range of construction equipment catering to the
needs of various end use sectors and holds a dominating presence in the construction equipment
market in India.

Prior to 1960¶s domestic requirements of construction equipment were entirely met by
imports. Domestic production began in 1964 with manufacturing of bulldozers, dumpers,
graders, scrapers etc by Bharat Earth Movers Ltd.,(BEML) a PSU unit under ministry of defense.
In the private sector, the Hindustan motors established its earthmoving equipment division in
1969 at Tiruvallur, near Chennai, in 1974, L&T began to manufacture hydraulic excavators
under license from proclaim, France. In 1980 Telcon began production of hydraulic excavators
under license from Hitachi, Japan and in 1981. Escorts JCB started production of backhoe
loaders under license from JCB,UB, Escorts JCB was taken over by JC excavators ltd. U.K in
2003 and is now called JCB India ltd. Volvo and Terex vectra are the newest entrants to the
market. Volvo has set up their manufacturing unit in Bangalore.

Starting operations in Jamshedpur in 1961, as the construction equipment division of Tata
Engineering, Telcon heritage is punctuated by a series of milestones.Right from its inception.
The company leveraged the technological expertise of world leaders in the field, collaboration
with names like P&H, USA in 1961 an Hitachi construction Machinery Company Ltd., in 1984.
The company made rapid strides and during the restructuring of Telcon in 1994, a fully fledged
construction equipment business unit was created.
The company range diversified, with shovels, Hydraulic Excavators Hydraulic Cranes,
Wheel loaders, and Backhoe loaders, rolling out, the steady growth in demand reflecting in the
achievement of landmark sales figures, led to the setting up of a state of the art manufacturing
facility at Dharwad in 1998.
In 1999, the Construction Equipment Business Unit branched out to form a separate
company ³Telcon Construction Equipment Company Limited (TELCON). The following year
2000, ushered in an event of millennial proportion, the Tata-Hitachi JV agreement.

Initially the manufacturing unit of Telcon was setup only in Jamshedpur but the assembly
unit is set up in Dharwad. Because the availability of land at lower cost and also transportation
cost of the finished goods was reasonable and there is good market of their product in southern
India.

Dharwad.
2.V Telcon was incorporated on 30th March 1999 and commenced its commercial
production from August 1999 with a capital investment of Rs.50 corers.
3.V The total area occupied by the company is 118.75acres. it is joint venture of Tata
group and Hitachi Construction company ltd.,
It is the younger of the two facilities having been set-up in 1999 this modern and highly
mechanized facility spread over 118 acres rolls-out more than a thousand machines with less
than 50 workers in each shop.
Dharwad lies in the center of the hubs of the marker for these machines, concentrated in
the sought and west. To be precise it is 420 K.M Bangalore, 400 from Pune and 470 K.M from
Hyderabad.
It has fully automated conveyor system, which is designed to cater to high volumes and is
undaunted by the flexibility and fluctuations in the model mix. This gives it the capability to
respond nimbly to customer needs.
Earthmoving is the planned, progressive modification of the natural earth surface to give
it a profile matched to a proposed engineering structure or use the material for processing. While
this is the more macro view of earthmoving and its importance to mankind, more specifically,
the term earthmoving is related to construction (dams, roads, etc.,) land clearance; making of
canals; mining and quarrying etc.

Structure refers to the organization arrangement for performing the tasks and activities. It
also establishes the inter relationship between various functions. The organization structure
of different companies is different. The structure of the organization depends on how the
departments are made. Department can be done by Function by territory or geography and by
the kinds of customers served. Other kinds of departmentation are product organization
grouping matrix or grid organization project organization and the strategic business units.

The steps involved in competency mapping with an end result of job evaluation include the
following:
Conduct a job analysis by asking incumbents to complete a position information
questionnaire (PIQ). This can be provided for incumbents to complete, or researcher can conduct
one-on-one interviews using the PIQ as a guide. A sample PIQ that we use when conducting this
step with our clients was provided to this client. The primary goal is to gather from incumbents
what they feel are the key behaviors necessary to perform their respective jobs.
+ Using the results of the job analysis, researcher develops a competency based job
description. This was developed after carefully analyzing the input from the represented group of
incumbents and converting it to standard competencies.
, With a competency based job description, Next researcher begins mapping the
competencies throughout clients human resources processes. The competencies of the respective
job description become client¶s factors for assessment on the performance evaluation. Using
competencies will help, guide client to perform more objective evaluations based on displayed or
not displayed behaviors.
- Taking the competency mapping one step further, researcher can use the results of
client¶s evaluation to identify in what competencies individuals need additional development or
training. This will help researcher focus clients training needs on the goals of the position and
company and help your employees develop toward the ultimate success of the organization.

Managing employees is a major job, so those in Human Resources must be equal to the
task. Ten or twenty years ago, Human Resources personnel were rarely seen. Instead they
worked behind the scenes to ensure personnel records were in order and employee benefits were
being properly administered, but the job stopped there. Today's Human Resources personnel
don't only handle small administrative tasks. They are responsible for staffing major
corporations.
³A competency is defined as a behavior or set of behaviors that describes excellent
performance in a particular work context (e.g., job, role or group of jobs, function, or whole
organization). These characteristics are applied more and more by organizations because they
provide significant help with key problems such as:

They even developed a new and yet simple methodology called the
Behavior Event Interviewing(BEI) to map the competencies.
Thus AT&T Studies of Formative years in Business indicated the predictability of future
success. Mc Cleland¶s studies in early seventies indicated the limitations of Intelligence and
Academic performance data. With increased recognition of the limitations performance appraisal
in predicting future performance potential appraisal got focused.
The setting up an assessment centre was an integral part of the HRD plan given to L&T
by the IIMA professors as early as in 1975.L&T did competency mapping and could not start
assessment centers until much later as it was not perceived as a priority area.

Competency mapping has become the latest buzzword for many organizations as more
and more of them are applying this concept for training, career development and selection of
their employees. The change in the ideology of the organizations can be attributed to the change
in the work culture, environment, as well as growing competition among companies
Competency mapping enables the organization to link selection training and development
and compensation to business strategy. It focuses performance management on what is critical
for success of the organization and makes recruitment and selection more efficient. The process
of competency mapping also helps the organization to understand what constitutes superior
performance and provides a framework for superior performance. It enables to establish
measurements that make a difference in performance levels.
It is a process through which one assesses and determines one¶s strengths as an individual
worker and in some cases, as part of an organization. It generally examines two areas: emotional
intelligence or emotional quotient (EQ), and strengths of the individual in areas like team
structure, leadership, and decision-making. Large organizations frequently employ some form of
competency mapping to understand how to most effectively employ the competencies of
strengths of workers. They may also use competency mapping to analyze the combination of
strengths in different workers to produce the most effective teams and the highest quality work.

We all have competencies. These are the sum of our experiences and the knowledge,
skills, values and attitudes we have acquired during our life time.
In the workplace we use our competencies to perform a variety of behavior and activities,
which in turn produce outputs (products and services) that we provide to others. It is the quality
of these outputs and the reactions of those who receive them that lead to results with positive or
negative or neutral consequences for the organization. The people who work there and its
suppliers, shareholders, clients and customers.
The current and future success of an enterprise is a reflection of the efficiency of the
senior management team, their vision and leadership and the combined knowledge and the skills
of the organization¶s workforce. This means that the identification of critical management and
specialist competencies that will enable enterprises to meet the demands of the future has
assumed an even more important place as a key responsibility of senior business executives.
That work. People¶s way of work is more fundamental to their competence than the
attributes themselves.
Individuals have skills, knowledge, benefit from intuition and can develop expertise.
Collective competencies start to develop with individuals and small group learning by doing,
rather than with top management engineered grand designs. Competence develops partly as an
individual action, learning process.

D
Boyatzis (1982) made the distinction between the two. The former does not make any
distinction between high and low performance but are the basic competencies to do a job.
Performance competencies make this distinction.
3. Differentiating competency:
c
V
c
V
r. Central and surface competencies:
It may be mentioned that competencies exist at both the surface as also at the core
personality level. The surface level competencies of knowledge and skills are visible in one¶s
behavior or performance and can be developed with appropriate training and development.
However, the core motives and trait competencies reside deep within us and are difficult to
understand measure and develop. Since these are large in number, one needs to focus on specific
motives and traits with a view to developing them in a cost effective manner. However, self
concept lies somewhere between surface and core competencies. The competencies lying deep
within can be developed over a longer period of time by appropriate job placement of the
employee which will offer him opportunities to develop these competencies for future senior
roles. It has often been observed that one¶s best performance is driven by core competencies
rather than task related skills and knowledge, which goes to show that selection on the basis of
qualifications or skills alone will not ensure a candidate¶s best performance.
5. Key competencies :
Key Competencies are used to describe the elements of behavior that are important for all
employees. They support organization values, desired culture, and performance expectations in
such areas as customer service, continuous improvements.
6. Team competency
7. Functional competency
Functional competencies describe more specialized Knowledge and skills For roles such
as project manager customer service representative and /or Manufacturing engineer.

People who excel at their jobs demonstrate behaviors that distinguish them from their
peers. Directing these behaviors are competencies which are defined as underlying personal
characteristics that differentiate outstanding performance from average performance in a given
job, role, organization, or culture. The different types of competencies can be depicted as
different levels of an iceberg as illustrated below .The upper levels are easy to see , but they do
not topically predict or determine outstanding performance. It is the dipper level of competencies
(traits & motives) that direct people¶s behavior, thus their performance

The research shows that the company meets the need of various competencies that are required
for the job in their organization to some extent but is not up to the mark. Though competency
mapping is done the company is not yet able to keep up the required competency level. The
company has defined certain competencies that are required for the job in their organization and
those competencies are Ability to work on Machine and ensure targeted output, Participation in
TPM activities / Presentations, Ability to do self inspection, Ability to analyze for any minor
defects in the machine and take corrective actions etc. These competencies that are defined by
the organization form the organizational competency model.
Based on these competencies they recruit their employees, provide them necessary training and
also appraise their performance. Since the organizations employee pool is not large it is able to
manage human resource but yet it has to meet the required level of skill and knowledge so that
each employee carries out his job more effectively. By assessing the competency level of
employees it¶s clear that there exists a gap between the competencies of employees and the
required level because certain percentage of employees still fall below the required competency
level. By defining those competencies properly and providing training, organization can get the
right pool of employees and also appraise them rightly based on that. It¶s been observed from the
research study that more number of employees are exceeds and meets the expected competencies
and there is less number of employees who are below the company required Competency level .
