It is said that “Knowledge is power” but “applied knowledge is power” seems to be a
correct statement.
In this modern word, theoretical study has no value without its practical application;
practical knowledge is more powerful than the knowledge of books. In today‟s business
words, practical knowledge plays an important role; course involves industrial training,
which provides practical knowledge and experience to the students in the field of
management.
The project is prepared on kadvani forge Ltd. And include the idea about their production
department, finance department, personnel department, etc. the main thrust of this project

9. Introduction:-
Forging is the process by which metal is heated and is shaped by plastic deformation by
suitably applying compressive force by using hammer or a press. Forging refines the
grain structure and improves physical properties of the mental. Forging changes the size
and shape, but not the volume, of a part. The change is made by force applied to the
material so that it stretches beyond the yield point. The force must not be strong enough
to make the material deform. It must not be so strong; however, that it destroys the
material. The yield point is reached when the material will reform into a new shape.
Normally this results in metallurgical soundness and improved mechanical properties.
Strength, toughness and general durability depend upon the way the grain is placed.
Forging are somewhat stronger and more elastic. The feature of greatest importance is
that there is a greater ability to resist shock, wear and impact than across the grain
material properties also depend on the heat treating process after forging. Good forging
practice makes it possible to control the flow pattern resulting in maximum strength of the
material and the least chances of fatigue failure.
These characteristics of forging, as well as fewer flaws and hidden defects, make it more
desirable than some other operations for products that will undergo high stresses. Physical
properties such as strength, ductility and toughness are much better in a forging than in
the base metal, which has, crystals randomly oriented. Forgings yield parts that have high
strength to weight ratio thus are often used in the design of air-craft frame members.
Types of Forging:-
Hammer Forging,
Press Forging.
What is forging?
Forging is manufacturing process where metal is pressed, pounded or squeezed under
great pressure into high strength parts known as forgings. The process is normally (but
not always) performed hot by preheating the metal to a desired temperature before it is
worked. It is important to note that the forging process is entirely different from the
9
10. casting (or foundry) process, as metal used to make forged parts is never melted and
poured (as in the casting process).
Why use forgings and where are they used?
The forging process can create parts that are stronger than those manufactured by any
other metalworking process. This is why forgings are almost always used where
reliability and human safety are critical. But you'll rarely see forgings, as they are
normally component parts contained inside assembled items such a airplanes,
automobiles, tractors, ships, oil drilling equipment, engines, missiles and all kinds of
capital equipment - to name a few.
Who buys forgings?
Forged parts vary in size, shape and sophistication - from the hammer and wrench in your
toolbox to close tolerance precision components in the Boeing 747 and NASA space
shuttle. In fact, over 18,000 forgings are contained in a 747. Some of the largest customer
markets include: aerospace, national defense, automotive, and agriculture, construction,
mining, material handling, and general industrial equipment. Even the dies themselves
that make forgings (and other metal and plastic parts) are forged.
How big is the forging industry?
The forging industry is composed of those plants that;
a) make parts to order for customers (referred to as custom forgings);
b) make parts for their own company's internal use (referred to as captive forgings); or
c) make standard parts for resale (referred to as catalog forgings).
The largest sector - custom forging - accounts for over $6 billion dollars in sales annually.
These custom forgings are produced by about 250 forging companies in approximately
300 plants across the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
How many people are employed by the forging industry?
Approximately 45,000 people from coast to coast are employed by the forging industry in
the United States and Canada. Because the modern forging process is capital intensive
(requiring an abundance of heavy equipment for manufacture and the people to run and
10
11. maintain it), most forging plants are small businesses which generally employ between 50
to 500 employees each, with a few larger facilities employing over 1000 people.
What metals are forged?
Just about any metal can be forged. However, some of the most common metals include:
carbon, alloy and stainless steels; very hard tool steels; aluminum; titanium; brass and
copper; and high-temperature alloys which contain cobalt, nickel or molybdenum. Each
metal has distinct strength or weight characteristics that best apply to specific parts as
determined by the customer.
What kind of equipment is used to make forgings?
Although the styles and drive systems vary widely, a forging can be produced on any of
the following pieces of equipment.
Hammers with a driving force of up to 50,000 pounds, pound the metal into shape with
controlled high pressure impact blows.
Presses with a driving force of up to 50,000 tons, squeeze the metal into shape vertically
with controlled high pressure.
Upsetters are basically forging presses used horizontally for a forging process known as
"upsetting".
Ring Rollers turn a hollow round piece of metal under extreme pressure against a rotating
roll, thereby squeezing out a one-piece ring (with no welding required).
History Of Kadvani Forge Ltd
“Every one has a goal to win, but a very few have a strong will to prepare to win. ”
I would like to brief a History of the company which is following the thought mention
above. The company named “KADVANI FORGE LTD.”
After seeing huge potential in the field of forging the company started its career in the
forging with small scale industries. The Kadvani forge ltd. got the certificate of its
11
12. incorporation on 1st August, 1995 and certificate of its commencement on 20th June,
1995. But it started its commercial production in 1997. It has established its forge-shop in
the area of Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (G.I.D.C.). And it becomes
popular with the name of “KFL” i.e. Kadvani Forge Ltd.
Its production capacity in the initial stage was 50 tons per month. In the 1 st year of
operation the company faces losses but then after through its sincere efforts it covers all
losses and making profit.
“Success seems to be connected with action.
Successful people keep moving.
They make mistake, but they don’t quit.”
The company proves its efficiency and move further without any fear of the failure and
results into developing a new 400 components within 6 years. The company exported its
industrial products in the international market in countries like U.S.A., Europe and
Middle East. The company establishes its foot step in the international market by their
hard work and sincerity. All the products are successfully accepted in the international
market.

17. MARKETING DEPARTMENT
INTRODUCTION
Financial success often depends on marketing ability. Finance operation, accounting and
other business function will not really matter if there is not sufficient demand for products
and services so, the company can make a profit.
Marketing also deals with identifying and meeting human and social needs. One of the
shortest definitions of marketing is
“Meeting needs profitably”
According to American Marketing Association:
“Marketing is an organizational function and a set of process for creating communicating
and delivering value to customer and for managing customer relationships in ways that
benefit the organization and its stake holders.”
Markrting Management At Kfl
KFL is not in a need to practice marketing activities by putting great efforts. That because
the company is not producing components by their own, but it manufactures components
those are demanded by the customers.
So, it is dealing with B to B market and need not do heavy advertisement and other
marketing activities.
The company‟s marketing department is working for getting the orders from the
customers by giving them presentation if they are new to the company.
The KFL is doing marketing in such a way that it is having a membership of many
forging associations.
As well as by participating in various events and fairs related to the industry at national
and international levels.
The starting point of each activity is the customer‟s inquiry. The marketing department in
handles all the inquiries and check the feasibility of the orders and for that the department
17
18. is preparing APQP and PPC. The prim Moto of the marketing department is „customer
satisfaction‟.
Market
Traditionally, a „Market‟ was a physical place where buyers and sellers gathered to buy
and sell the goods.
But in today‟s modern world there is no as such necessity of physical place due to the
highly technological development i.e. internet and all.
Market can be product market, demographic market, geographic market, labour market,
donor market etc.
The key consumer markets are:
1. Consumer Market
2. Business Market
3. Global Market
The KFL is having business market that the finished components are sold to the another
business houses of automobile, defense, earth movers etc. So, to deal with B to B market
will demand extra specifications of the quality, timely delivery, relation, price etc. aspects
in that.
Target Market
The following are the target markets of KFL:
Mahindra & Mahindra
TATA Motors
RSB
John Dear tractor
Eaton Truck

19. PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
Product Offering
“A product is a bundle of benefits which are been offered to the consumer”
It is a complex of tangible attributes including material, packaging, colour, price, and
manufacture‟s prestige, retailer‟s service which the buyer may accept as offering
satisfaction of wants or needs.
The products those are offered by KFL on the demand of the customers are:
Automobile
Petrochemical
Earthmoving
Electric Transmission
Machine Tools
The KFL only manufactures what customers have given in his drawing so, in this case the
New Product Development activity does not take place.
Distribution Chennel
“Physical distribution comprises the task involved in planning and implementing the
physical flows of material and final goods from the point of origin to points of
consumption to meet the needs of consumers at a profit.”
The distribution of component of KFL differs with the market:
Domestic Market:
The company uses the transportation facilities by roadways as per the demand of
customers.
Foreign Market:
For export order the company‟s components are transported by shipment at seaway from
nearer port.

imported from Australia and other equipment as started above to make the production
quick, accurate and smooth.
25
27. Manufacturing Process
The main products of the company are forging components. The company is passed by
the following procedures while manufacturing the forging components.
First or all the company purchases the raw-material from the various companies in
addition to procurement of raw-material the company also receives the respective data
about the raw-material and it is checked in their own laboratory.
Step:-1 Cutting Process
Here the raw-material which is in billets form is cut into required length according to
cutting slip for this the company is using manual and electrical equipment like band-saw,
sharing machine, heck-saw, for cutting raw-material Smoothly.
Step:-2 Forging Process
In first of all cut metal piece is heated in oil fired furnace, than die forging is done. In
forging first of all die is fixed in hummer with top half impacts in the metal thus the
process of heating the cut metal and to give the shape of heated metal piece is called
forging. In Forging there are three steps:
Heating,
Forging,
Trimming.
Step:-3 Heat Treatment
After the forging process the components are subject to best treatment which remove the
residual stresses that are formed during the forging process and this process is called heat
treatment. The steps in heat treatment are:-
Normalizing,
Quenching,
Trimming,
ISO Thermal
Hardening and Tempering,
27
28. Step:-4 Shot Blasting
For clearing of rods, bars, angles, girdle etc. and make them shining shot blasting
machine are used. These shot blasting machine house powerful and strategically located
blast wheels in up-ward and down-ward position. Blast wheels throw stream of shot on
the job from all side. The job is cleaned perfectly inside work chamber. Number of blast
wheels stations and basis of output requirement and configuration of job.
Step:-5 Coining
Sometime when long and thin component are forged it may possible that the shape goes
somewhat bend. After measurements if the part is bend than it is kept in the coining
machine to make it straight and perfect in shape.
Step:-6 Packing And Dispatching
After final inspection the finished product is packed in a wooden box and dispatched as
per customer order when parts are exported mainly at that time the packing is necessary
and then are sending to the customers.
28
29. Quality Policy
We shall be customer focused. We shall consistently satisfy customer by providing
products conforming to customer requirements at competitive prices.
29
30. Drawing & Designs Department
Introduction
Product design is concerned with how the product will be made. Designs that is poor-
quality products. Engineers tend to over design products, with too many features, options
and parts.
When any new part is designed at that time feasibility study is under taken. In that
prototype design is prepared this contains.
The design review,
Reliability and maintainability prediction,
Failure mode effect and critical analysis,
Safety Analysis,
Value Engineering, etc. are checked.
Drawing department of Kadvani Forge Ltd. Prepare the sample drawing based on
customer specifications, machine and forging drawing are also prepared by using the
C.A.D. (Computer Aided Design) and this is the process by which a computer assists in
the creation or modification of a design.
Engineering Drawing Specifications:-
Timely Review,
Distribution and Implementation of customer engineering specification.
Master List Cum Distribution Record (M.L.C.D.R.) is prepared.
Process Of Drawing
Forging Drawing:-
Customer Approve,
Drawing issue to the customer,
Data control.
30
31. Die Designing:-
Dies are prepared by draft man mechanic. Die is designed as per forging. First it is
checked by die shop in charge. Approved by technical person and then issue is possible.
Modification:-
If there is any problem in design or implementation in the parts drawn from the customers
and internal department. The technical director will approve the modification and that
will be followed by the draft man and drawing in charge. And then correction steps are
taken.
Mission And Vision
Vision :-
“Where the vision is one year, cultivate flower.
Where the vision is ten year, cultivate trees.
Where the vision is eternity, cultivate people.”
It is a universal saying. So, keep this I the mind the company wants to increase its
manpower strength not only in quantity but also in the quality. And through that the
company wants to become one of the company wants to become one of the best forgers in
the world by providing quality forged components.
Mission :-
The tags line of the company itself shows mission of the company i.e. “Forging the
Bright Future” and reach M to M i.e. Mahindra to Mercedes reach from national to
international best customer with quality product.

various activities. Finance is defined as the provision of money at the time it is needed.
The term “Business Finance” is composed of two words :-
Business,
Finance,
The word business literally means a state of being busy. All creative human activities
relating to the production and distribution of goods and services for satisfying human
wants are known as “Business”. Broadly, the term business includes industry, trade and
commerce.
The word Finance refers to the management of flows of money through an organization.
It concerns with the application of skills in the Manipulation, use and control of money.
Finance is considered as the life blood of any business.
“Business Finance may be said to deal with acquisition of funds, use of funds, and
distribution of profits by a business organization.”

represents the mix of different sources of long term funds such as equity share, preference
share the long term loans and retained earning etc.
PATTERNS OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE :-
There are four Patterns:-
Capital Structure with equity shares only,
Capital Structure with equity and preference share,
Capital Structure with equity share and Debentures,
Capital Structure with equity share and preference share and debenture.
The choice of an appropriate capital structure depends on nature of business, earning,
conditions of money market, attitude of investors‟ etc.

Sources Of Finance
The business cannot run efficiently if it does not have adequate finance to meet its
requirements of business can be classified into two categories:-
Short Term Finance Requirement:-
This required meeting working capital needs. They are usually for a period
up to one year.
36
37. Long Term Finance Requirement :-
These funds are usually for meeting the fixed capital requirements of the business. They
are required for a period exceeding one year.
In KADVANI FORGE LTD. The finance is usually generated form:-
Bank Loans,
Term loans or long term Loans,
Cash Credit,
Retained Earnings.
Generally, company is generating finance from the internal sources,
Using depreciation as a source of finance.
Plugging back of profits.
From commercial banks etc.
Company cannot generate the finance by external sources like issue of debentures or
preference shares because it has not yet taken the initial public offering.
Inventory Management
Inventories are goods held for eventual sales by a firm. Generally, there are three kinds of
inventories:-
1) Raw-material:-
These are the goods which have not yet been committed to production in manufacturing
firm. It consists of basic raw-material and it is in KADVANI FORGE LTD. Is steel
billets.

Credit Policy
The term credit policy refers to those decision variables that influence the amount of trade
credit means the investment in receivables, the length of credit period to be extended, the
cash discount to be offered depending upon particular circumstances of the company and
the customer. Credit policy of any company determines the amount of risk the company is
willing to undertake in its sales activities.
Terms of Credit :-
The two important components of the credit terms are:-
i. Credit Period,
ii. Cash Discount.
Credit Policy :-
It refers to the time duration for which credit is extended to the customers. It is generally
expressed in terms of net Days.

39. HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
Introduction
The management of man is a very important and challenging job; important because it is
job not of managing „men‟, but of administering a social system. No two persons are
similar in mental abilities, tradition, sentiments and behavior. They differ widely also as
group and are subject to many and varied influences.
According to Edward Flippo:
“Human resource Management is the planning, organizing, directing and controlling of
procurement, development, compensation, integration, maintenance and separation of
human resources to the end that individual, organization and societal objectives are

Recruitment
It is the generation of applications for the specific positions through any source. It makes
possible to acquire the number of people necessary to ensure the continued operation of
the organization.
It has been regarded as the most important function of personnel administration because if
the right type of people is not appointed even the best policies, organization charts and
control system would not do much good.
In KFL the recruitment is done by using the following three sources:
1. Advertisement:
The company gives advertisement in the news paper about the vacancy with the
specification required.
2. Known Source:
In that the company uses the source which is known by the company‟s employees that
may be friend, relative, or from any other reference group. Mainly this source is used for
lower level workers.
39
40. 3. Placement:
In this type of source the company visits various colleges and takes the interview and
invites application from them.
Selection
Selection is the second step after recruitment in the process of procurement of people. It is
the process of choosing the individuals who possess the necessary skills, ability and
personality to successfully fill specific job in the organization.
The selection process is a number of specific steps taken to decide which recruits should
be hired. The process involves grouping the applications into unsuitable and appearing to
be suitable candidates, conducting tests on suitable candidates, if needed interviewing
them, contacting for references and eliciting their opinion, getting them medically
examined and making final hiring decision. The selection process begins with screening
of applications and ends with hiring decision and placement.
The selection process of KFL for employees and workers are as bellow:
For employee selection all of first the inquiry or information has been gathered whether
he or she as per the job specification eligible or not then after the candidates are being

department.

Training & Development
Training is the important subsystem of human resource development. Training is a
specialized function and is one of the fundamental operative functions for known resource
management.
It is designed primarily for nonmanagers, it is for a short duration and it is for a specific
job related purpose.
40
41. According to Dale S Beach:
“Training is the organized procedure by which people learn knowledge and for skill for a
definite purpose.”
The KFL gives training when the employee is selected about the procedures, how to fill
the various forms and all.
Apart from that the company is providing regular training programmes like:

So, by all such training programmes are provided for updating and improvement of the
knowledge of the employees and workers to gate the desired level of output.
Salary & Wage Management
Wage and salary administration is the process by which wage and salary levels and
structures are determined in organizational settings.
Wages are payments for labor services rendered frequently, expressed in hourly rates,
while a salary in a similar payment, expressed in weekly, monthly or annual rates.
41
42. Wage and salary administration is one of the vital areas of HRM, for sound wage and
salary policies and programmes are essential to procure, maintain, develop, promote and
transfer employees and to get effective results from them.
In KFL the wage and salary administration is done very effectively. The wages are paid
on time based as per the government rules and Act. Salary paid monthly basis as per the
rules and regulation of lows.

S.W.O.T. ANALYSIS
The overall evaluation of a company is Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threat is
called S.W.O.T. Analysis. It involving monitoring the external and internal environment
of the organization. Each business needs to evaluate its internal strengths and weakness.
strengths:-
Prestige and goodwill that company has created in the market in the span
of more than 11 years.
Strongest production department.
Skilled and experienced workers and employees of production and
drawing department.
Timely delivery of goods.
ISO/TS-16949 : 2002 certificate for technical specifications and use of 5‟
“S”
Employment generation.
Customized products.
Lesser in house rejection.
Weakness:-
Every business whether big or small can have the weakness. Here I am pointing
out some weaknesses because “we can get the success if we can change the
weaknesses into our strength.”
44
45. Human Resources department of the company is lagging behind.
Lack of marketing strategic.
Business is run in a traditional way to fight with the national and
international competitors it has to become more professional and should
have clear corporate strategies.
Flexibility.
Poor adaptability of changes.
Opportunities:-
Opportunities can take many forms and company has to be a good at spotting
them some opportunities that I have observed are as given below.
Company has still its I.P.O. (Initial Public Offering) as reserve. It has not
yet issued its share to the public.
Company can get more growth by increasing the exports to reach its goal.
Capacity can be increased for mass production.
If company emphasis on marketing than it can grow more.
More export promotion activates can get a better future.
Threats:-
Threat is a challenge posed by an unfavorable trend or development that would
lead in the absence of action to lower sales or profit. Threats should be classified
according to its seriousness and probability of occurrence. To deal with threats the
company needs plans that spell out changers it can make before or during the
threats.
Shortage of workers who can work in the forge shop and other process
department of production.
Communication Gap.
High Turnover of Workers.
Economics conditions like value of rupees price rise in steel which is used
as a raw-material.

47. INTRODUCTION
According to American Marketing Association “Marketing research is the systematic
gathering, recording and analyzing of data about problems relating to the marketing of
goods and services.”
Management in any organization needs information and in large quantities about potential
markets and environmental forces in order to develop successful strategic marketing plans
and to respond to changes in the market place. A mass of data is available both from
external sources and within the firm. This forms a solid platform for a research to take
place.
Marketing Research includes all the activities that enable an organization, to obtain the
information it needs to make decisions about its environment, its marketing mix and its
present or potential customers and consumers. More specifically, Market Research is the
development, interpretation and communication of decision oriented information to be
used in the strategic marketing process.
LITERATURE REVIEW
This research study seeks to come up with a conceptual framework that investigates the different
dimensions of total quality management (TQM) and its effects on knowledge management (KM).
This is to help build a theoretical framework of TQM and its dimensions, which mainly consists
of leadership, strategic planning, information and analysis, process management, human resource
focus and customer focus. These constructs are rooted in the work of Malcolm Baldrige National
Quality Award (MBNQA). To build the conceptual framework, the background of TQM and
Knowledge Management theory served as a good starting point. The current research study is
based on the complete assessment of present literatures, the six constructs of TQM and the three
elements of knowledge acquisition, knowledge application and knowledge dissemination. This
paper serves as a guide to senior management, who seeks to improve their company‟s
organizational knowledge management activities through the execution of TQM practices, in
which the TQM practices support their company‟s knowledge management efforts. Furthermore,
the conceptual model serves as a benchmark for practitioners to execute their TQM programmes
more effectively and efficiently in their own respective firms. This paper seeks to close the gap on
the existing literature, by giving guidance to the senior management of TQM companies that
aspires to discover the competency of knowledge management. By developing a deeper
understanding of the relationship between TQM practices and knowledge management, senior
management can thus focus their efforts on the practices that ensure the firms‟ ability to establish
a competitive knowledge management capability.
47
48. Undeniably, TQM and KM contribute significantly to the improvisation of performance
for any organization. The proposed model in this study seeks to close the gap in the
literature for the assessment of the multidimensionality of TQM and its association with
organizational KM. Furthermore, this model seeks to advance the literature regarding the
relationship between TQM and KM research and at the same time, to provide a means for
both the practitioners and the academicians to better comprehend the link between TQM
practices and KM behaviours. Apart from that, this paper propose this model to be used
for the implementation of TQM practices and also to measure the organizational
processes such as the effectiveness of strategic planning, leadership,process management,
customer service, human resource management and the employment of information
analysis. The initial study on the model, which is to examine the link between TQM
practices and the KM, has led to further studies on the six dimensions of TQM, which are
known to be important attributes to the KM management. As for improvements, further
surveys and research should be done using the multivariate analysis to test, validate and
enhance the model. The results obtained will be reported in afuture article.
Nature Of Research
The Marketing Research is carried out on forging company in rajkoj of appled total
quality managamant. The research where the application of all Marketing Concept and
Strategies have been put into practice. The nature of research is also Syndicate Research,
which can be carried out by anyone, a part from Research Organization. The Research has
been carried out through the universally favoured approach of a personal interview
survey.
OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
The Marketing Research is carried out on the following subject:-
The main objectives kept in mind while selecting the subject and conducting the survey
were as listed below:
48
49. 1. Customer focus
The first and overriding feature of TQM is the company‟s focus on its customers.
Quality is defined as meeting or exceeding customer expectations. The goal is to first
identify and then meet customer needs. TQM recognizes that a perfectly produced
product has little value if it is not what the customer wants.
2. Continuous improvement
Another concept of the TQM philosophy in the focus on continuous improvement.
Traditional systems operated on the assumption that once a company achieved a
certain level of quality, it was successful and needed no further improvements.
Traditionally, change for American managers involves large magnitudes, such as
major organizational restructuring. The Japanese, on the other hand, believe that the
best and most lasting changes come from gradual improvements. Continuous
improvement, called kaizen by the Japanese, requires that the company continually
strive to be better through learning and problem solving.
3. Employee Empowerment
Part of the TQM philosophy is to empower all employees to seek out quality
problems and correct them. With the old concept of quality, employees were afraid to
identify problems for fear that they would be reprimanded. Often poor quality was
passed on to someone else, in order to make it “someone else‟s problem”. The new
concept of quality, TQM, provides incentives for employees to identify quality
problems. Employees are rewarded for uncovering quality problems. In TQM, the role
of employees is very different from what is in traditional systems. Workers are
empowered to make decisions relative to quality in the production process.
SAMPLE SURVEY
The gathering of primary data through experimentation involves use of sampling, survey
method and observations. The survey conducted on kadvani forge ltd. involved a survey
based on personal interview.
49
50. The details of the selected samples for the survey is as under:
City chosen for Sample Survey:- Rajkot
Sample size:- 20 Samples
Market Research Methodology
Formulation of Research Problem
Research Design
Determination of Sources of Data
Collection of Information
Processing and Analysis
Present the finding
Formulation Of Research Problem
First step of the marketing research process is the formulation of research problem. Marketing
management must be carefully note to define the problem too broadly or too narrowly for the
marketing researcher. The marketing manager and the researcher must work closely together to
define carefully and agree on the research objectives. The managers best understand marketing
research and how to obtain the information. In order to avoid waste of time and money it is
necessary to define the problem in specific terms.
50
51. Research Design
The second step of the marketing research process calls for determining the information needed
and developing a plan for gathering it efficiently. A research design can be defined as “The plan,
structure and strategy of investigation conceived so as to obtain answers to research questions and
to control variance.” The marketing manager needs to know the cost of the research plan before
approving it. Designing a research plan calls for decisions on the data sources, research
approaches, research instrument, sampling plan and contact methods. The researcher can gather
secondary data, Primary data or both. Secondary data were collected for another purpose and
already exists some where. Primary data are freshly collected for specific purpose for a specific
research project.
The Survey Method: -
Surveys are best suited for descriptive research. This method involves learning about people‟s
knowledge, beliefs, preferences and satisfaction and to measure these magnitudes in the general
population. As in observation, survey research can be structured or unstructured. Structured
survey use formal lists of question asked of all respondent the same way where as in unstructured
researcher use an open format that lets the interviewer probe respondents and guide the interview,
depending on their answers. There are three types of surveys namely:
Determination Of Sources Of Data
In marketing research literature, there are two types of data: primary data and secondary data. The
researcher can gather primary data or secondary or both.
1. Primary Data:
The first hand data collected for a specific purpose or for a specific research project constitutes
primary data.
When the needed data do not exist or are inaccurate, incomplete or unreliable the researcher
collects primary data. Most marketing research projects thus involve some primary data
collection. The main primary data sources consist of consumers, dealers, buyers, etc. Consumers
and buyers constitute the main source of information in most researches. A buyer may not be the
user of the product, although in some cases the consumer and the buyer may be the same person.
51
52. 2. Secondary Data:
Information collected by other organization or individuals which might be relevant to the study
constitutes secondary data.
Researchers usually start their investigation by examining secondary data to see whether their
problem can be partly or wholly solved without collecting costly primary data. Secondary data
provides a starting point for research and offer the advantages of low cost and ready availability.
In my study, I have primarily used “Primary Data” obtained through retailer survey with the help
of questionnaire.
Collection Of Information
Marketing researchers have a choice of two main research instruments in collecting primary data:
Questionnaire and mechanical devices.
Questionnaire:
A questionnaire consists of questions presented to the respondents for their answers. Because of
its flexibility, the questionnaire is by for the most common instrument used to collect primary
data.
In preparing a questionnaire, care should be taken in choosing the questions and their form,
wording and sequence. The questions included in the questionnaire can be closed end questions
prosperity all the possible answers and are easier to tabulate and interpret. Open end questions
allow respondents to answer in their own words and they often reveal more as they give an insight
into how people think.
Sampling plan:
After deciding research approach and instruments the marketing researchers must design a sample
plan. This calls for three decisions.
Sampling Unit:
The marketing researcher must define the target population that will be sampled.
Sample Size:
Large samples give more reliable results than small samples. However, it is not necessary to
sample the entire target population or even a substantial portion to achieve reliable results. In my
survey the sample size was 20.
52
53. Sampling Procedure:
To obtain a representative sample a probability sample of the population should be drawn.
Probability sampling allows the calculation of confidence limits for sampling errors. When the
time and cost are involved the in probability sampling is excessive, marketing researcher will take
non-probability samples.
Simple random sample
My survey falls under the category of the convenient sample under Non-probability sampling. In
this method the researcher is free to select. The respondents are selected on the basis of the being
available at the time of survey.

63
65. No company is perfect in all ways, so as KADVANI FORGE LTD. During my training
and experience in the company, I have observed some points which I want to mention.
Professional attitude or professionalism is needed.
Suggestion Boxes for the staff employees and for workers in plant should be kept to
know the view of the employees as well as the workers.
Rest room or canteen facilities, if not for food than for tea and snacks is needed.
Management should find out different way to motivate employee.
They should make advertising through television, newspaper and holding etc. for
increasing their sales and profit.
Give more information in the web-site therefore person who is interested to know
about the company.
CONCLUSION
India is a key part of most of the global companies‟ overall growth strategy in auto
components. To utilize the resources provided by the education system and the resources
which are within the company 100% is the success mantra. These industries are also
depending on the growth of OEMs. (Original Equipment Manufacturing) and there is a
bright future of them.
65
66. Learning From Sip
I have prepared project report on ”total quality management practies in forging company
of rajkot city with reference to kadvani forge ldt”. I learnt so many things like . . .
I came to know that how company sustain its position during the recession period.
If sale are increase, it does not means that profit will be increased because of
operating expenses also increase.
If you have no proper planning for investing the investment, then you cannot earn
more return on the investment.
There is difference between bookish knowledge and real work at company.
Company‟s planning is not easier at real situation in comparison to the paper
work.
If you want to get better work from the company‟s employees and workers then
company requires proper co-ordination.
Customers‟ satisfaction is important for any organization. If customers are not
satisfied then company cannot survive in the market.
