Glass industry in India
Glass industry in India is poised to grow rapidly owing to its extensive use in the numerous sectors. The market is driven by increasing disposable income and willingness to spend on better living standards due to rising aesthetic sense among consumers as well as glass being the preferred medium of packaging. The total glass industry is worth INR 180 bn in 2010
The unique attributes of glass like its optical properties, chemical durability, and recyclability account for a range of glass products making it an integral part of the social existence. It is being used for innumerable consumer products ranging from tableware to automotive glass, for lighting and construction, and most importantly as packaging material food and beverages, cosmetics, and chemicals. The ever increasing demand for container glass for both conventional as well as new and specialty products as a result of pioneering researches ensure the continued success of global container glass market. The global market for container glass is projected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 7.9% for the period spanning 2011-2013.
Glass as a packaging material is being increasingly preferred by consumers inclined towards a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. At the same time, the industry is also encouraging the use of glass packaging due to features of better shelf life, design possibilities and recyclability. The factors driving the global container glass market include mainly the growth in beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industry. However, the development of plastic and PET containers has provided a packaging alternative thus creating a challenge for the global container glass market. The global container glass industry is dominated by Europe and the US, where the container glass category accounts for a sizeable amount of the overall glass market revenues. Both the US and European regions reported an increase in container glass revenues in 2010, in response to improving economic conditions, and rising consumer awareness about the benefits of using glass packaging. In addition, continuous efforts on the part of the governments to promote recycling of glass containers will lead to an unprecedented growth in

the container glass market. In the recent years, the emerging nations in the field of container glass category, like India and other developing countries, have acquired a dominant position posing as potential threat and as well as opportunity for the existing markets.
The current landscape of the global container glass market is intensely competitive with numerous large and regional players operating in the market, competing on the basis of price, quality, and other marketing attributes. The leading players in the global container glass industry include Saint-Gobain, Owens-Illinois, and Vetropack, among others.
We have predicted the future growth of the global glass container market by combining SPSS Inc.s data integration and analysis capabilities with our relevant findings. We employed various significant variables that have an impact on this industry and created regression models with SPSS to determine the future direction of the industry. Overall, the glass container market in India has been growing at a healthy rate of over 10 per cent, with F&B segment contributing handsomely due to prospering FMCG sector. Food packaging is witnessing healthy volume growth due to the arrival of organized retail market. This has led to high competition in the packaging segment, and consequently has resulted in a number of innovations in the sector. The adoption of Narrow Neck Press & Blow (NNPB) technology in the production of glass containers has brought a revolution in the Indian glass packaging industry. It has resulted in decreasing the weight of the glass containers by 25-30 per cent. This technology also offers benefits such as better control over glass distribution and increased productivity, thus making glass packaging more cost-effective and convenient for the consumers. All major industries create wealth but if there is one industry that plays a unique role by way of both creation of wealth through a wide range of manufacturing activities and also by way of preserving the wealth or value created by many, many other industries, it is packaging. Apart from the huge value addition and employment involved in these activities, packaging has served the Indian economy by helping preservation of the quality and lengthening the shelf life of innumerable products ranging from milk and biscuits, to drugs and medicines, processed and semi-processed foods, fruits and vegetables, edible oils, electronic goods etc., besides domestic appliances and industrial machinery and other hardware needing
transportation. With water becoming a consumer product, polymer material-based bottles are becoming a universal presence. Packaging, as distinct from mere packing, plays its most visible and catalytic role in a modern economy with the widespread adoption of branding of products and development of consumer preferences. To the extent that any consumer product is packaged in a manner that meets the criteria of safety, convenience and attractiveness, it gains market share. In the aggregate, packaging as a sect oral activity boosts consumption and economic growth. Heightened competition in all product sectors within the country as also the increasing need to look for export markets have contributed to the rising demand for appropriate, and at the same time cost-effective, packaging material and technologies. The packaging industrys growth has led to greater specialization and sophistication from the point of view of health (in the case of packaged foods and medicines) and environment friendliness of packing material. The demands on the packaging industry are challenging, given the increasing environmental awareness among communities. The World Packaging Organizations (WPO) slogan, Better Quality of Life through Better Packaging, sumps up the important place that packaging occupies in a modern economy. To ensure that public appreciation of this role and the policy-makers support to the industry are not diluted, attention should be paid to basic issues like collection, segregation and reuse of synthetic packaging material and observation of regulatory requirements.
Indian Packaging Industry Market:

The Indian packaging industry itself is growing at 14-15% annually. This growth rate is expected to double in the next two years. Indian Packaging industry is USD 14 billion and growing at more than 15% p.a. These figures indicate towards a change in the industrial and consumer set up. However, the Indian fascination for rigid packaging remains intact. It is estimated that more than 80% of the total packaging in India constitutes rigid packaging, which is the oldest and the most conventional form of packaging. The remaining 20% comprises flexible packaging.
Rigid packaging constitutes glass bottles, metal cans, aerosol cans, battery cell cans, aluminum collapsible tubes, injection molded plastic containers made of PVC, PET, HOPE, barrels made from HOPE, paperboards, a corrugated boxes. However, with the expanding middle class and rising income levels, the patterns of consumption are bound to change substantially and the demand for quality and convenience-based products will increase. Concurrently, the increased interaction with the developed world will considerably influence the aesthetic and quality norms of the Indian consumer and lead to better consumption standards. This is expected to stimulate greater consumption of branded products and increase the use of rigid and flexible packaging.
Flexible packaging contains multi-layered laminated sheets of single or a combination of substrates such as plastic, paper or aluminum. Flexible packaging finds varied use because of its ability to provide strength, moisture resistance, aroma retention, gloss, grease resistance, heat retention, salability, printability and low odor. Flexible packaging has gained vast acceptability because of the protection it offers to the product against environmental threats like moisture, heat, and chemical reaction. More so, convenience in handling the product and the cost benefits it provides are added advantages. Nonetheless, plastic, which is the most commonly used substrate in flexible packaging, is facing pressure because of issues of environmental protection and safe disposal. These issues act as a major impediment in flexible packaging becoming an all-pervasive medium. Paper and paperboard, on the other hand is environment friendly and also enjoy the advantages of easy handling and efficient
process implementation. Moreover, flexible packaging mandates additional capital requirements and technical know-how for efficient manufacturing operations. Although substrates like plastic have gained vast acceptability, attractiveness of paper and paperboard consumption remains. Currently, India is ranked 15th in the world for its paper and paperboard consumption and is expected to improve its rank in the future. Paper is the fastest growing substrate segment with a growth rate of 6-7%. The total demand for paper currently is estimated to be around 6 mn tones, of which about 40% is consumed by the packaging industry. If the demand for paper continues to grow at the same rate, total paper consumption is expected to reach 9.5mn tones by 2010. Laminated products including form-fill-seal pouches, laminated tubes and tetra packs are growing at around 30% p.a. There are about 600-700 packaging machinery manufacturers, 95% of which are in the small and medium sector located all over India.
Germany and Italy are the latest suppliers of packaging machinery to India but focus is now shifting on Taiwan, Korea and China. Indian packaging machinery imports are USD 125 million. Indian packaging machinery exports are rapidly growing. India's per capita packaging consumption is less than USD 15 against worldwide average of nearly USD 100. The large growing middle class, liberalization and organized retail sector are the catalysts to growth in packaging. Food and Pharma packaging are the key driving segments. On the packaging machinery side, while a wide range is manufactured in India, the industry imports machinery, especially at the high end. Germany and Italy are the largest suppliers of packaging machinery to India but focus is now shifting on Taiwan and China. The import (customs) duty for packaging machinery is 25.58% for 2007-08. Indias imports at 20 & 25% of its total packing machinery import indicate further opportunities for Italian companies to explore.
Some important Packaging sub-sectors:

Corrugated Packaging & Situation in India: A flourishing organized retail have raised the expectations that consumption of corrugated packaging will begin to expand again as the number and volume of goods packaged in corrugated increases. MNCs are demanding corrugated boxes of international standards and the pattern of buying the packaging is changing.
Prices of corrugated sheet and converted boxes have remained low due to the overcapacity, manual operations and low productivity. Besides, transport constraints and high freight costs have meant that small to medium sized corrugated box plants are located near the customers.
The over 4,000 corrugated boards and sheet plants are highly labor-intensive, employing over half a million people both directly and indirectly. The industry is converting about 2 million tons of Kraft paper into corrugated boxes. Factories are spread out in all parts of India, even in the remote industrially backward areas. This present scenario is already being challenged by the sweeping changes that are beginning to take shape. More and more in-line automatic plants are being set up, as corrugated box makers gear up to meet the new demands for high precision boxes with attractive graphics and large integrated production capacities.
Inline Automatic Board and Box making plants will ease out the present semi automatic production processes. Deployment of Folder Gluers, Rotary Die cutters will be on the increase. Use of corrugated for display/promotional packs, POPs and dispensers. Advances in multicolor, flexi printing will facilitate in-house flexi printing and do away with screen printing, contract printing on offset presses.
Pharmaceutical Packaging & Situation in India Pharmaceutical packaging occupies a considerable portion of the overall drugs and pharmaceutical market in India and is growing steadily with the same pace of the industry. Pharmaceutical packaging consists of various types of glass, pet bottles, strip and blister packs, injectibles, ampoules, bulk packs, etc.
The Indian pharmaceutical packaging industry is witnessing a spurt in growth. Today, the packaging industry in India is considered a sunrise industry and its linkages are extensive and highly employment creating. On one side, it involves manufacture (and sometimes import) of a wide range of packing material - paper, paperboard, cardboard, a range of polymer products including rigid and flexible packaging material, aluminum foil, tin an good old wood and steel. Other backward linkages of packaging including printing labeling and binding /adhesive tapes etc. Of course machinery for making / processing these products and for packing / packaging is another segment closely linked to this industry. Growth will follow upward trends in global medication consumption, which will expand at a strong pace as aging demographic patterns lead to an increasing number of diseases and disorders. Pharmaceuticals will assume an expanding role in worldwide health care delivery based on new product introductions and economical advantages over other forms of patient treatment. Besides upward trends in medication consumption, the adoption of stricter regulations and standards governing the production, storage, distribution and labeling of pharmaceuticals will boost global growth opportunities for packaging products and accessories. Historically, pharmaceutical packaging requirements focused exclusively on preserving the quality of enclosed medication. These requirements are now being extended to cover such criteria as the prevention of product tampering and counterfeiting, the assurance of product dispensing accuracy and the promotion of patient compliance with product dosage schedules.
As most of the consumers, you actually take a decision on which product to buy when we are in the supermarket before the shelves. It is important that the packaging let you having a truthful and instant appreciation of the product inside, while at same time jumping off the shelf, speaking to you, providing instant convincing information about the quality of the product. The packaging has therefore the prime tasks to be appealing, while being functional and reliable.
Unlike other materials, glass adds a touch of class to the products contained inside while guaranteeing the highest level of protection and longer shelf life. You can easily sense the elegance and the beauty of a bottle of Champaign, of a wine glass or flacon of perfume.
No other packaging material matches the shelf impact of glass. The clarity, shape, and feel of glass containers contribute to the premium image of products ranging from fine perfumes to liquor to gourmet foods and beverages.
Packaging industry serves the following purposes in India:

1. Containment: Most products must be contained before they can be moved from one place to another. To function successfully, the package must contain the product. This containment function of packaging makes a huge contribution to protecting the environment. Faulty packaging (or under packaging) can lead to spillages a result in major losses and serious damage. 2. Protection and Preservation: Packaging plays a vital role in protecting products as they go from the manufacturer to the consumer. Packaging is designed to ensure that the product reaches the consumer in good condition. The product is protected during transport and distribution; from climatic effects (heat and cold, moisture, vapor, drying atmospheres); from hazardous substances and contaminants; from infestation. 3. Supplementary Product Protection: Packaging can also provide supplementary product protection. This may be achieved by forms of cushioning such as shredded papers, sheets of corrugated paperboard, foamed plastic or wrappings. Packaging therefore contributes to food safety, quality and nutrition. Packaging technology has made major contributions to advancing food science and food safety and reduction of food spoilage. 4. Communication: A package must protect what it sells and sell what it protects. Modern methods of consumer marketing would fail were it not for the messages communicated on the package. The information provided on packaging allows the consumer to make informed decisions on the products purchase and use. 5. Convenience: Packaging plays an important role in allowing products to respond to the demands and needs of modern consumers. Frozen food packs, microwavable containers, wine
cardboard casks, easy-open beverage and food cans and aseptic cartons are good examples of convenience packaging. These types of packaging reflect the demand for convenience and quick food preparation in a way that guarantees freshness. Light weight medical devices are packaged in peel-open, pre-sterilized containers designed for easy use in operating rooms, patients rooms, or laboratories. In the administration of drugs, unit-dose packaging, solid and liquid, in small containers allows sealed, unused drugs to be returned to stock. Medical packaging also reduces the risk of accidental overdose or improper use by children (child resistant closures). 6. Environmental Aspects: Packaging reduces the amount of waste going to landfill. Without the benefit of packaging to preserve food, a higher proportion of food would become spoiled and consequently consigned to garbage collection for land disposal. When the food is packaged, the unwanted portions such as skins, outer leaves and trimmings, remain at the processing point where they can be economically recovered and used in the manufacture of valuable byproducts. 7. Reduction of Pilferage: Packaging of a wide variety of products sold from self-service counters is designed to reduce stealing. The product may be sold in a blister package sealed to a large paperboard backing. The large card makes the package more difficult to conceal and steal. Other examples of security packages are lock-on caps and tamperproof closures. 8. Marketing Trends: Marketing trends are placing increasing emphasis on the look, sales appeal and quality of retail packaging. Packaging helps sell products by providing product differentiation and presentation, greater brand awareness and convenience. The continuously changing demands of consumers will require higher quality graphics and promotional links between graphics and advertising to support brand identities, plus the ability to reflect current consumer trends and images.
Factors Affecting Growth of Packaging Industry in India

1. Urbanization Modern technology is now an integral part of nation's society today with high-end package usage increasing rapidly. As consumerism is rising, rural India is also slowly changing into more of an urban society. The liberalization of the Indian economy, coupled with globalization and the influx of the multi-nationals, has improved the quality of all types of primary and secondary packaging. Also industrialization and expected emergence of the organized retail industry is fuelling the growth of packaging industry.
2. Increasing Health Consciousness As people are becoming more health conscious, there is a growing trend towards well packed, branded products rather than the loose and unpackaged formats. Today even a common man is conscious about the food intake he consumes in day-to-day life.
3. Low Purchasing Power resulting in Purchase of Small Packets India being a growing country, purchasing power capacity of Indian consumers is lower; the consumer goods come in small, affordable packages. Apart from the normal products packed in flexible packaging, the use of flexible in India includes some novel applications not usually seen in the developed world. Products like toothpaste, toothpowder, and fairness creams in laminated pouches are highly innovative and are not used elsewhere. Another typical example of such applications is tobacco and betel nut-based intoxicants and mouth fresheners catering to unique Indian taste.
4. Indian Economy Experiencing Good Growth Prospects The Indian economy is growing at a promising rate, with growth of outputs in agriculture, industry and tertiary sectors. Overall economic growth has proved to be beneficial for the consumer goods market, with more and more products becoming affordable to a larger section of the population.
10
5. Changing Food Habits amongst Indians Changing lifestyles and lesser time to spend in kitchens are resulting in more incidence of eating away from homes resulting in explosive growth of restaurants and fast food outlets all over the country. Indians are trying out newer cuisines and also purchasing similar food items for their homes. Therefore, the review period has seen new products like pasta, soups, and noodles being launched in India, fuelling the growth of packaging industry in India.
6. Personal health consciousness amongst Indians: With growing awareness towards contagious diseases like AIDS and other STDs, awareness towards usage of contraceptives and disposables syringes have increased the demand for packaging required for the same.
7. Rural Marketing Pushing Demand for Sachets India comprises of a big rural market and there has been growing focus on rural marketing, whereby manufacturers are introducing low-priced goods in smaller pack sizes. Low priced sachets have proved to be extremely popular in smaller towns and villages, where people do not prefer to buy larger packs due to financial constraints.

Global Glass Market

The global market for glass packaging is thriving on the back of the increasing consumer demand for pure, green, and sustainable food and beverage packaging. Glass the fact that glass containers are chemically inert and pure, and thus safer to be used, their popularity and demand is notably high among consumers. Further, the perception of glass containers as having a high quality or premium image compared to plastic and metal containers facilitates growth. Its key property of being chemically inert and transparent makes glass the most suitable medium of packaging of liquor, pharmaceutical/life saving drugs and food items. Recyclable is another major advantage of glass which makes a preferred choice for packaging. In addition to the above benefits of glass, factors like increasing demand from emerging markets of India and China, rising cosmetic sales, changing lifestyle, increasing per capita is also driving for the growth of the industry and as well as the country wealth increases.
Unlike plastic, cans, and multi layered cartons, glass containers do not need a petroleumbased plastic layer or other chemical additive to preserve the taste of foods and beverages, avoid corrosion or decrease gas permeability. Glass does not deteriorate, corrode, stain or fade, so products inside glass container remain as fresh and pure as they were bottled.
Major Centers The Indian glass processing industry is clustered in six geographical locations that fall near the six industries or metropolitan cities. It is very interesting to note that there are certain areas as big as Italy where you won't find a single glass processing unit. These areas are dependent on the glass processors in the six clusters to cater to their processed glass plants. Can you believe a state having a population of 230 million (yes that's million) does not have a single processing unit?
The processing clusters are located in and around the following cities :New Delhi. The national capital has some of the biggest and most reputable glass processors in the country. GSC Glass, Gold Plus (which recently announced setting up a float line), Mico Glass, and Gulati glass are some of the glass processors in the region, and all are located in a belt of 100
12
km in the capital region. GSC and Gold Plus glass stand out among the processors in the capital region; in fact, GSC glass could be termed the most advanced and largest glass processor in the country. Incidentally GSC was the first glass processor in the country when it started to process glass in 1994.Mumbai. The country's financial capital, as it is dubbed, has some of the very best names in the processing industry. Sejal Glass, Fishta Glass, and Viral Glass are a few of the outstanding names in the region. The processing industry in this region is benefiting from the boom in construction activities that has been going on for quite some time. Other than these two major industry clusters. The remaining clusters are in and around the cities of Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore, and in the eastern coast of the country in Kolkata. One prime reason these clusters formed in these particular regions is the spate of construction that has been happening in these cities over the last five years. If you travel to any of these cities today, you will see how the skyline is changing. Overnight, new structures are rising, and you will see endless facades of glass also rising. Looking at this one would guess that this is the region where every glass processor would want to be, so what is the reason that a value-added glass industry in the country is not booming?
Low demand drivers Consumer awareness. Perhaps, the most important reason for low volume of value added glasses can be attributed to consumers. As glass has gained increased popularity in the last fifteen years, most consumers in India are not aware of type of value-added glass and their respective advantages. Consumers are not aware of the availability of various types of glass and what benefits each one gives. Most customers have the perception that glass is something that is transparent and very fragile. Fragmented nature of the industry. It is no secret that the glass processing industry in India is much disorganized. Because of the fragmented nature of the industry, glass processors, whole sellers, glaziers, and all other participants are short-term driven. Almost no effort has been put into customer service, reducing costs, or systematically developing markets. spiraling Costs. The glass industry is also weighed down by the spiraling cost of manufacturing. Energy costs are increasing, as are those of raw materials and infrastructure. The regulatory framework of building codes for safety and energy also needs to keep pace with industry growth and new glass uses. In case value-added glass has to make inroads in India at a scale and pace comparison to European countries, then prices will have to come down and in a hurry. Lack of knowledge among architects. It may seem strange that
13
many architects are not aware of the type of value-added glass available, and many turn to glass processors to suggest a type of glass for a particular application. Because glass is a relatively new product in building applications, those who use are still learning about applications and benefits of various types of glass. Price sensitivity of Indian consumers. Despite robust economic growth during the last decade, Indian consumers and the Indian market are very price sensitive. With a price differential between basic flat glass and valueadded glass, consumers would rather opt for the basic glass type. Low penetration in the residential sector. Use of value-added glass has gained popularity in commercial buildings to a large extent, but residential buildings, which are a major source of demand for these glass types, are not using much of thee products. Value-added glass is finding application in only a minuscule number of residential units. Lack of codes. Another dire problem facing the valueadded glass industry is back of any codes for the products. There are no government guidelines for the use of any particular type of glass. There was an initiative by one of the state governments to make the use of tempered glass mandatory in commercial buildings, but it has yet to see the light of the day. A drive to adopt a ruling similar to that of Germany's for use of low E glass in windows can drive demand for value added glass in India.
An overriding theme for glass packaging is that of reduced growth opportunities in mature regions and mature product categories. Fast-developing economies in Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa regions, meanwhile, are pivotal in supporting current and forecast global volume sales growth for glass. As disposable incomes increases amongst these dynamic economies and the retail infrastructure continues to develop, a subsequent rise in consumption of packaged food and beverages drives growth of glass.
14
Different types of containers:
The influence of competing pack formats impacts glass share as dynamic packaging performer, lightweight PET, offers consumers a conveniently lightweight pack, suited to the on-the-go lifestyle. Harshest impact on glass is seen in carbonates and bottled water sales. The global glass stronghold of spirits is additionally seeing pack substitution in favor of PET amongst more economy lines, most apparent in North America. Beverage can advances in beer and more niche packaging developments exist to challenge the dominance of glass in wine. The growing consumer trend towards eating and entertaining at home, itself being furthered by tightened consumer spending in the weaker economic climate is promoting greater packaging growth in the off-trade channel as against weaker on-trade performance. This cocooning trend is producing retail growth for glass in its key alcoholic drinks categories of beer, wine and spirits. In developed regions, positive growth for glass is further observed in sauces, dressings and condiments. In particular, table sauces, pickled products and pasta/wet/cooking sauces respond to a widening consumer interest in other world cuisines whilst Asia Pacific's rise in purchases of packaged, branded products is a further driver for forecast glass growth.

Quality Assurance Quality Checks:

At Samyu Glass, quality is of paramount importance. To ensure consistency and quality, a Six Sigma initiative is being rolled out at both the Indian plants. At the corporate level, too, we are carrying out a Business Process Excellence initiative. Quality inspection involves five levels of checks. Level 1 happens at the IS machine, immediately after the bottle is formed. Here, the line operator, with the quality control checker, does hot end sampling for dimensional checks. Hot-end ware rejection is an automatic process to ensure quality of the bottles after bottle swabbing. Next, the bottles are put into an annealing chamber, where they are gradually heated and cooled to de-stress. The bottles then pass through a series of automatic and camera inspection checks by equipment like M, M-Cal, VERITAS and VISIGLAS. These machines check for body defects, neck finish, bubbles, foreign matter etc.
21
The bottles are finally automatically shrink-wrapped, and a sample of the packed bottles is put through a QA process to check for defects. The container used for transport is fumigated and also checked for cleanliness and hygiene prior to stuffing.

We plan to introduce some new designs in the coming year. In colored figured, we have made 3 new colors this year that were not made for many years coolex, blue, green. This is other than grey that we usually make. We plan to add new colors in the coming year also. Our colored figured plant needs cold repairs. We have to start preparations for the same and have to order out refractoriness that has a lead time of 8-9 months. Prices of colored figured are also up, but since colored figured demand is only 2025% of total demand and 3-4 plants at a time make colored figured, there is a strain on orders.

ORGANISATION STRUCTURE:
Most organizations today are designed as a bureaucracy in whom authority and responsibility are arranged in a hierarchy. Within the hierarchy rules, policies, and procedures are uniformly and impersonally applied to exert control over member behaviors. Activity is organized within sub-units (bureaus, or departments) in which people perform specialized functions such as manufacturing, sales, or accounting. People who perform similar tasks are clustered together. The same basic organizational form is assumed to be appropriate for any organization, be it a government, school, business, church, or fraternity. It is familiar, predictable, and rational. It is what comes immediately to mind when we discover that ...we really have to get organized.
Organization design is a formal guided process for integrating the people, information and technology of an organization. It is used to match the form of the organization as closely as possible to the purposes the organization seeks to achieve. Through the design process, organization act to improve the probability that the collective effort of members will be successful. Typically, the design is approved as an internal change under the guidance of an external facilitator. Manager and members work together to define the needs of the organization then create system to meet those needs most effectively. The facilitator assures that a systematic process is followed and encourages creative thinking.
HIERARCHICAL SYSTEM:
Western organizations have been heavily influenced by the command and control structure of ancient military organizations, and by the turn of the century introduction of Scientific
THE DESIGN PROCESS:

Organization design begins with the creation of a strategy- a set of decision guidelines by which members will choose appropriate actions. The strategy is derived from clear, concise statement of purpose and vision and from the organization basic philosophy

Departmentalization by function organizes by the functions to be performed. The functions reflect the nature of the business. The advantage of this type of grouping is obtaining efficiencies from consolidating similar specialties and people with common skills, knowledge and orientations together in common units. Functional departmentalization - Grouping activities by functions performed. Activities can be grouped according to function (work being done) to pursue economies of scale by placing employees with shared skills and knowledge into departments for example human resources, IT, finance, manufacturing, marketing and engineering. Functional departmentalization can be used in all types of organizations.
Human Resource Department:

Human resources are a term with which many organizations describe the combination of traditionally administrative personnel functions with performance, Employee Relations and resource planning. The field draws upon concepts developed in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Human resources have at least two related interpretations depending on context. The original usage derives from political economy and economics, where it was traditionally called labor, one of four factors of production. The more common usage within corporations and businesses refers to the individuals within the firm, and to the portion of the firm's organization that deals with hiring, firing, training, and other personnel issues. This article addresses both definitions. The objective of human resources is to maximize the return on investment from the organization's human capital and minimize financial risk. It is the responsibility of human resource managers to conduct these activities in an effective, legal, fair, and consistent manner.
Marketing Department:
Marketing is defined by the American Marketing Association as the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large. The term developed from the original meaning which referred literally to going to market, as in shopping, or going to a market to sell goods or services.
28
Production Department:
Production is the functional area responsible for turning inputs into finished outputs through a series of production processes. The Production Manager is responsible for making sure that raw materials are provided and made into finished goods effectively. He or she must make sure that work is carried out smoothly, and must supervise procedures for making work more efficient and more enjoyable.
In a manufacturing company the production function may be split into five sub functions:
1. The production and planning department. 2. The purchasing department. 3. The stores department. 4. The design and technical support department. 5. The works department.
Finance Department:
Finance, accounting is the system of recording, verifying, and reporting of the value of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses in the books of account (ledger) to which debit and credit entries (recognizing transactions) are chronologically posted to record changes in value (see bookkeeping). Such financial information is primarily used by lenders, managers, investors, tax authorities and other decision makers to make resource allocation decisions between and within companies, organizations, and public agencies. Accounting has been defined by the AICPA as The art of recording, classifying, and summarizing in a significant manner and in terms of money, transactions and events which are, in part at least, of financial character, and interpreting the results thereof."

Table-3.1
Today we are living in competitive world. So every sector role is vital. At the same way in the organization human resource role is very central. Every human being has the ability and potential to do remarkable things if they are provided with opportunities and climate to understand, develop and utilize his or her potentials. Unfortunately, the development of people has been a neglected phenomenon in the past and therefore, ignored by most of the organizations. These organizations tended to view people as mere instruments for accomplishing organizational goals and, therefore, felt that they need to be administered or managed. But it is not true. In fact, complexities of modern organizations as apparent from changing technology, increasing size of business, larger volumes of production and greater emphasis on specialization lay stress on cutting down the costs of production, improving the quality of product or service, enhancing market share and maintaining effective and efficient leadership.

The Production Process

Glass Melting The furnace melts cullet (crushed, recycled glass), sand, soda ash, limestone, and other raw materials together. Molten glass usually ranges in temperature between 2,300 and 2,800 F. Furnace Control systems monitors and controls firing temperature. Gob Distribution At the end of the furnace, the glass stream is distributed to different forehearth for the respective production line. Molten glass is conditioned in the forehearth and its temperature gradient is equalized to ensure uniform temperature homogeneity. Plungers intercept the stream of molten glass from the forehearth and cuts gobs individually by mechanical shears. The gob distributor then routes the gobs into blank moulds at the I.S Machine.
43
Container Forming Gobs of glass are delivered to blank moulds to form a parison. The ring finish and internal bore are created. It is then transferred to molded side, where compressed air and vacuum are applied, stretching & cooling the parison to exact inner cavity profile of the mould, forming the final shape of the container. Annealing Lehr The glass containers are then submitted through a special type of oven called a Lehr designed specifically for annealing glass. Glass is heated to the annealing point and then slowly cooled to room temperature. This process relieves the internal stresses, making the glass much more durable.
Cold End Coating After annealing, a layer of polyethylene wax, is applied via a water based emulsion. This makes the glass slippery, protecting it from scratching and stopping containers from sticking together when they are moved on a conveyor. The resultant invisible combined coating gives a virtually unscratchable surface to the glass.
Cold End Inspection All containers are monitored regularly throughout the production process and the end product is subject to exhaustive computer, laser, electronic, mechanical and manual checks to ensure it passes the most stringent health and safety standard requirements. Typical faults flagged up in this process include small cracks in the glass called checks, foreign inclusions called stones, bubbles in the glass, called blisters and thin glass. Rejected containers are recycled back into the furnace.
Bottle Filling A completely hygienic process throughout all the pipe works and valves are stainless steel the only flexi hoses on the site are between tanker and intake bay. Product can be processed at sales gravity or high gravity product then diluted and carbonated. Flavored Alcoholic Beverages and soft drinks can be made from concentrate or from a recipe.
44
Packaging Depending on Customer requirements the final product can be packed in a multitude of ways. Cases ranging from 4 to 30 bottles, neck though packs and tray and shrink wrapping are all options that are available. Palleting & Wrapping Glass containers are staked automatically on pallets and separated by cardboard into rows before going undergoing the shrink wrapping process. This involves a hood type film being placed over the pallet before being heated until the pallet contents are in a compact unit ensuring minimal movement of the product in transit. Warehousing The Pallets of Container Glass move along a railing system into the automated warehouse. All individually racked, packaging integrity is maintained. All pallets remain in storage until distribution to the customer or directed to the in-house filling lines.

Etc SWOT analysis is just one method of categorization and has its own weaknesses. For example, it May tend to persuade companies to compile lists rather than think about what is actually Important in achieving objectives. It also presents the resulting lists uncritically and without clear Prioritization so that, for example, weak opportunities may appear to balance strong threats. The usefulness of SWOT analysis is not limited to profit-seeking organizations. SWOT analysis May be used in any decision-making situation when a desired end-state (objective) has been Defined.
