Meaning of Production :-
Production is step-by-step conversion of one form of material into another, either chemically or
physically. It is an activity through which the form of utility is either created or enhanced.
Definition of management :-
Management is the art getting things done through others. It is the process of planning,
organizing, leading, and controlling resources, such as people, money, and materials, to achieve
specific goals effectively and efficiently. It's about making sure that all parts of an organization
work together smoothly to get things done.
Production management :-
Production management is the process of planning, organising, directing and controlling the
activities of the production function.
Production function is the conversion of raw materials into finished products.
21
4.1.2 How production plan is prepared from sales plan
1. First of all, Marketing Manager will forecast demand of customer and prepare
sales plan according to their requirement or also estimate sales for future period on the
basis of Market situation. Then marketing department gets sales order from customer. At
Dhanhar Exim Pvt LLP, one customer can order via online and direct communication
through telephone or letter or personal talk.
22
2. Here in the second step marketing manager will send the demand data about
each product of Dhanhar to the production department where they will sequence the
activity of production where important products or products whose delivery date is earlier
is given the priority by production department and upcoming season’s product quantities
are also managed, for eg in august month many Hindu festivals comes and many people have
fast on such festivals and in fast people eat products made from water chestnut flour , so production
department have to make water chestnut flour in the month of June and July so that it is
available to marketing department in august.
3. In the third step they will do production planning so that they can have exact quantity. Here
they will first check the current stock of finished product and if production is in progress
then that quantity is also considered and they will subtract both current stock and WIP
quantity from total marketing forecast and they will add expected closing stock at the end
of planning period. Here Dhanhar considers the stock , they have to send to their selling
outlet at Bhagal for sale in current period .
So, production planning quantity = marketing sales forecast- current stock-current Work in
progress (if any) + requirement of Finished product for sales incurrent period + expected closing
stock
Production plan quantity for water chestnut flour for the month of August =Market forecast (2700
kg) - Current stock (715 kg) – current WIP (00) + current expected sales (280 kg) + closing stock
Expected (600 kg)= 2865 kg So, Dhanhar have to make 2865 kg of Water chestnut flour in the
month of August.
4. In such a way production plan quantity for all products are prepared at Dhanhar Products
LLP.
23
4.1.3 Analysis of plant location considering various factors
• Plant location refers to the specific place where a company’s factory or production
facility is situated. It is an important decision for long term because it affects costs,
efficiency and the ability to serve customer.
• Location of plant is most important factor in a private sector. There are many factors are affected e.g. if
the place was outside the city then they are free from paying octroi for their product, various
taxes, labour transmission facilities, living home to the labour or employee like houses,
cottages etc., for the raw material storage facility to the certain extent to run production
smoothly. When plant or site is located in near or in the city they have no expense to rent
for the employee or labour houses, available good infrastructure in compare to the far from
the city area, less transportation cost, easy distribution of goods in less time.
• Dhanhar Products LLP. plant is located at no far from the city and not near to the city. It is
located in industrial zone of fulpada in this area they get benefits from the government and
electricity, water, roads, communication channels.
24
• Dhanhar Products LLP. chooses this area because here raw-material is available in
sufficient quantity and appropriate quality. Easy distribution of their product & profitable
to the industry. They not thinking for the changing the site. They want to buy or take on the
lease new site near the old plant.
• The population is increasing day by day and residential area will come near to the industrial
area so that Dhanhar Products LLP will more concentrate on environment not harmful to
the their citizen. The company will think to establish new plant far from to the residential
area.
Factors affected the selection of Dhanhar Products LLP locations and Benefits of plant
location :-

following.
25

that they can serve to whole south Gujarat market where they have more number of
customers compared to other parts means they can serve to places like Navsari, Valsad or
vapi which are in southern part and to Bharuch, Ankleshwer and Narmada which in
Northen part of Surat and hence surat is a central location and hence company can reach to
the customers in easy way.

Gujarat, India. Aimed with capable of producing more Masala per month.
• Company does have separate buildings for administrative work and production work at
Bhagal and at Ashwinikumar respectively.

electricity board provides continuous supply of power.

• The soil of Ashwinikumar area is harder so that manufacturing process can be carried on
without any further problems. And here company doesn’t have very heavy manufacturing
so production can be carried easily.
26
5) Type of business & Nature of business
• The Dhanhar Products LLP is running the business concerning with manufacturing of
Masala and other edible products which can be manufactured in any area and also in prime
area of city or village and hence Dhanhar Products LLP have no requirement to be away
from Surat city and hence Ashwinikumar is a proper place for them.
• Here as this company is only concerned with Manufacturing of Masala no political system
affects the working and management of the company.
• The Dhanhar Products LLP was established in 1972 and at that time surat was a
developing area so they got the Ashwinikumar area’s land at some economical cost.
• Here the local ladies are getting the job and as it is only a masala making firm, so local people have no
point for opposing the company manufacturing.
• As company’s both working places are in prime area of Surat city, so they don’t have to
pay after security of working place compared to rural area and hence Dhanhar Products

requirements, banking facilities plays an important role.There are various banks which
are nearer to the Dhanhar Products LLP which are Sutex Bank, Hdfc Bank & Bank of

4.1.13 Inventory control system: -
Inventory:-
Inventory refers to the goods and materials a business holds for the purpose of resale,
production, or utilization. It includes items like raw materials, work-in-progress products, and
finished goods ready to be sold to customers. Essentially, it's the stock of products that a
company has at any given time.
An inventory control system is a set of tools and processes that help a business keep
track of its products and materials. It ensures that the business knows what it has in stock,
what has been sold, and when to order more.
48
Format of ABC system at Dhanhar products LLP
• It has been found from experience that all items included in the inventory are not of
equal importance. A few items in the inventory represent a large proportion of the
total value of the inventory. Hence, more attention must be devoted to the control of
such items. All the items are divided into three categories.
1. A – Category
• It includes those items which are very important and of high value but forms only a
small proportion of total quantity of inventory.
• At Dhanhar, there are 40 items which come in category A and they represent as much as
54% of value of inventories. Strict control over receipt, storage and issue should be
exercised over these items such as Black Pepper, whole cardamom, red chili, turmeric,
dry singoda, Cotton Seeds Oil, Nutmeg, Coriander, Ginger, Plastic Bag (for packing),
Rajgara etc.
2. B – Category
• Here such items are Ajwain, Mint Leaves, Black Salt, Rock Salt, Cinnamon Leaves etc
49
3. C – Category
• The remaining items must be placed in category C. They are not so important from the
view point of maintaining control over the receipt and consumption. Such items
constitute 50% of the total number of items but they represent 18% of total value.
50
VED analysis: -
• In VED analysis, the inventory is classified on the bases of criticality of inventory i.e.
vital, essential and desirable.
• This classification is usually applied for spare parts to be stored / stocked for
maintenance of machines and equipment’s based on criticality of spare parts.
• "VED analysis is done to determine the criticality of an item (generally spare parts) and
its effect on production and other services."
• Vital items are those items without which production will instantly stop all main raw
materials are obviously vital items. Similarly, there can be some another low value
items which are necessary for the production process. As explained above, spare parts
of machines like power generator or Quality control liquid becomes vital items. Spare
part imported form foreign suppliers are also called as vital items. Large amount of
stock is kept for such items. For example for making water chestnut flour dry singoda
is vital product.
• Essential items are those items without which efficiency of production process will
reduce. Absence of these items may not cause total stoppage of production but rate
of production may go down or wastage of material may increase. Low amount of stock
is required for this type of items.
• For Example, Quality control tools, secondary packaging material, etc. are essential
items of Dhanhar Products LLP.
• Desirable items are that items, which are not available that can be manufactured in
house or can be ordered from local vendors. Hence, usually no stocks of such items are
held.
• Example: Optional flavour, special labels decorative elements, etc.
• In Dhanhar Products LLP, there is no system like VED analysis but by doing VED
analysis those who are responsible for availability of various raw material and items
may know which items are important for production process .
51
4.1.14Inventory valuation method: -
Materials are issued to the different jobs, works, and orders from the store. The cost

consumers to buy your products or services. As a consumer, you lightly take part of
these activities yourself without realizing it; as a businessperson on the selling side,
finding effective tools is challenging. Try a combination and make notes of what
works. If what you're selling is generic, your promotional tools will typically be price-
oriented, such as discounts. If you are a specialized seller, find tools other than price

A Marketing Information System (MIS) helps a spices company make better
decisions in the following ways:-

sales reports, customer feedback, and social media. For a spices company, this could mean
tracking which spices are selling well, customer preferences, and competitor activities.
2. Data Storage: All this information is stored in a centralized database, making it easy to
access and manage.
3. Data Analysis: The system analyses the collected data to identify trends and patterns. For

1) Product
2) Price
On comparing pricing policy with competitors Dhanhar has always kept its price lower
than competitors. For example price of Dhanhar red chilli powder is Rs. 252 of 500 gm packet
while a price of Ramdev red chilli powder is Rs. 270 of 500 gm.
92
3) Place
Dhanhar has all zero level, one level, two level and three level of channels. And on other
side comparing to Ramdev, Everest and S.K Masala Dhanhar have poor distribution channel
because Ramdev, everest, Catch Masala etc have distribution channel all over in India and
generally these Masala are found in every general store or departmental store. So Dhanhar have
all level of distribution channel but due to less number of distributors, other companies found
to be superior than Dhanhar, but Dhanhar rent out the place at famous Mall in the big cities like
Surat, Ahmedabad etc.
4) Promotion
But Dhanhar is able to survive in the competition due to following two reasons.
93
While in Water chestnut flour market, Dhanhar has to face a little competition with small Atta
maker flour mills who make Singoda flour on small scale basis.
❖ The controlling system is very necessary for sales employees. At Dhanhar controlling
system is very clear. No one can take the lot outside the factory before the signature of
dispatching manager.
❖ Dispatching manager issues the bill for the goods which is send out to the factory. This bill
would be collected by the security manager, and then they allowed any one to let the goods
outside the factory.
❖ This system is also applicable for the purchased goods. No one can take the goods inside
the factory, first security manager check the goods and then allowed to enter into the
factory.
❖ The controlling system regarding sales distributor is in terms of the sales target they have
to achieve given by the marketing manager.
❖ Company also use each Distributor's sales of last a year as a base for sales forecasting and
give them target with adding some percentage in to sales, here they consider the average
94
sales of past three year and add some percentage to average sales. Here if average
performance is higher than last year sales then they give only 2% growth and if average
performance is less than last year sales then they give 5% growth.
❖ If a distributor is able to achieve his goal, he will be rewarded with award like “Best seller
of the year”
❖ If a distributor is failed to attain his goal for continuously for 3 times, he will be removed
from their distribution channel.

4.3.9 Employee Welfare Activities:-
• Welfare activities, before 20 years was never priorities for the companies. Their only
aim was to earn maximum bucks and human talents are just more the source likes raw
material, technology etc., which they exploit as much as they can.
• But in 1990s, whole scenario was changing, global and the companies soon to realize
the power of human assets and how motivated human assets can change their fortune
for the company. So the companies stated investing more in building human assets by
providing various incentives, welfare activities etc. because of employee is able to give
its 100% output to company.
• So, that is how welfare activities for employees marks fortunes for the company, what
welfare activities its employee to retain its no-1 position at Dhanhar Products LLP,
which are as following:-
1. It is providing cold and fresh drinking water from the better, the production area for the
workers and even they are purchasing 30 litres can of mineral water for its workers at
Ashwini kumar layout and 10 litres for staff members and customers at Bhagal
administrative office.
2. Proper ventilation space is providing in each department in the organization.
3. For safety, the company has provided first aid kit for its workers in each department.

stationary free of cost every year.
5. For sales persons they provide two wheelers for taking orders and receiving payments.
6. They have provided the reliance mobile to mostly all the staff members for internal talk.
7. Provide good condition of equipment and also provide better environment for work.
124
4.3.10 Employees records kept
1) Attendance records
5) Compensation details
• As we already know the basic difference between the training and development.
Training is given to employee for doing specific job by giving knowledge of specific
skills and development on the other means overall increase in talent, so that employee
can handle any future jobs, which marks as future bright. So, there is vast difference
between training and development. Generally training is given at the workers level,
where one just repairs specific skill for completing a specific task. But development is
needed at the executive level, where one has to live in dynamic and ever-changing
environment, so today every company are investing heavily in training and
development of employees as they have realized that what is needed to on the top of
this world.
• Now we will see how Dhanhar Products LLP is satisfying the training and development
needs of its employees.
• At the workers level, they are not recruiting any person from outside for the training of
workers. They basically rely on existing workers, who are on the workers level from
quite some years to give training so fresher workers, can trained without any cost. But
for specific requirement they even higher professionals for the training of their workers.
• If we talk about staff members particularly technical side and management side fresher
are given training by the senior members some time higher professionals, if they found
necessary. Time period for training of new entrants is generally 7 to 10 days.
125
4.3.12 How training needs are identified for existing employees?
• Training: Training is important aspect for developing a specific skills not only for the
workers, but also for the employees or management members too.
• We will see now how Dhanhar Products LLP is identifying the training needs and how
they will fulfil it.
1. When the wastages of some section increase, than the prescribed limit then they
identify the worker from the document they have and if required, they offer training
mostly from senior people.
2. When the work of some document slow down then they will try to find out the reason
behind it (reasons may faulty method of working, workers laziness, worker. inefficiency
etc.) and give training properly if needed.
3. Now coming on to the management employee, if management employee found that
managerial worker is not working efficiently. Then management try to solve this
problem by giving required training and sometimes even that person will ask the
management that he went such and such training for the development of his skills. For
e.g. that if purchase manager of Dhanhar Products LLP, is not able to negotiate price
with the supplier effectively and purchasing products at higher prices. So the
management will hire a professional for developing his negotiation skills or they will
send him to search type of training programs or seminars etc.
So, this way training needs are identified and solved by Dhanhar Products LLP which can be
summarized as following:-
126
4.3.13 Induction training:-
• Induction of orientation program is held in the Dhanhar Products LLP whenever new
employee has to undergo 2 to 3 days induction training. In case of worker joining the
company, supervisor undertakes 3 to 4 days induction training. Worker is given
guidelines about the company rules and regulation and also be is given training about
how operate the machine is called Induction-orientation program. At office level, it is
undertaken by the manager of concerned department. Manager gives guidelines about
the policies of company and manager introduces employee to training to their
subordinate.
127
4.3.14 Labour relation
• As know by everyone, employee are the most valuable assets of the company and they
works in a group and where there is a group, these comes communication interaction
and this creates relations, either good or bed.
• Now, we quickly move on to the topic of labour relation, labour relation basically means
the relation between the management (employer) and worker (employee). But if see it
is in broader aspect, it protects the interests of both employees and employers by
making some rules and policies etc.
• So, we will see, as usual, in the context of Dhanhar Products LLP seeing the Fantastic
relationship between the management and employees. We think that it might not be
true, so we will like to give you one e.g. which we have observed, in factory premises.
There was water tank, and management person just taken the glass. of water and when
worker from production department came, the first give a glass of water to the worker
and put one's arm on his shoulder. This is the only one example we have discussed so
we can say that from this discussion that management people are very cordial in dealing
with workers.
• Another reason for the excellent relationship can be attributed to the background of the
workers. As being from some religion, there is very less conflict among them. Most of
the workers at here are from 'Patel' community and basically from same society so they
better understand each other's need.
• Thus, the entire staffs of this company are very co-operative with each other like family
member.
128
Promotion and Demotion policy
Promotion
• Promotion refers a higher post carrying greater responsibilities, higher status and best
salary. It is the upward movement of an employee in the organization's hierarchy to
another job commanding greater authority, higher status, and better working condition.
• In Dhanhar Products LLP promotion is done on seniority plus work on merit basis. The
worker who has worked minimum 5 years and who performs well, work efficiency is
good will be promoted as motivation.
• Promotion is mainly done as increase in salary if the vacancy in higher post will be
vacant.
• If the employee is good, hard working and have more ability than he will be promoted
but he must be 5 year senior.
• If there is no vacancy in higher post than promotion will be done as 10% increase in
salary.
• Promotion will be done by proper analysis of annual data of employee’s work record,
behaviour, etc.
Demotion
• Demotion is the downward movement of employee from up position to down position.
with decrease in salary
129
Demotion is done because of following reason:
1. If the quality of work done by employee is very poor after giving training to them for
improving.
2. If employee will not regular, Dhanhar allows 4 leave in a month and if a worker breaks
the limit of 4 leave for 3 times in a year than he will be demoted.
Here Dhanhar Products LLP has made demotion policy but they don't believe in demotion
• This employee attendance policy is applicable for all the employees of the group. To
encourage work environment based on disciplined work timings and punctuality but with
provision for flexibility where required and applicable. Every company requires that they
have an employee’s attendance policy on the number of hours that they requires employees
of different levels and departments to work.
• This may vary, but even that variation needs it to be tabulated and approval so that there is
no feeling of unfairness and so that the company can also have a benchmark against which
to compare whether or not the employees is giving the requires hours of service.
Exception: this rule doesn't apply for the maternity leave. In that case the entire
calendar is taken into consideration.
130
Employees, even when on leave, are required to remain accessible over phone, mail
and SMS, even when they may go out of the country, so that they may be consulted
in crisis if required.
