PREFACE

This report is the result of my 6 weeks of summer training at VARDHMAN SPECIAL

STEELS. Summer training is an integral part of MBA course and efficient utilization of
material, time and resources are very much important for successful completion of any
task. Above to this, coordination is must, which determines the degree of success. In
order to be competent, all the students are required to take a real time project work. This
exposure to project work will help them to know that how academic knowledge is
applied in actual business situation.
Keeping all this in view, the project given to me was
to “study the internal factors affecting logistics in VARDHMAN SPECIAL STEELS.
and find out various bottlenecks”. The all rounded encouraging support by many persons
towards this report has created in me confidence regarding the approval of the subject
matter.
Actually this report is a result of an assignment, to improve myself and gain confidence.
In this, I have done my best to make it a genuine study. But as well as all know a maxim
“TO ERR IS HUMAN”. Therefore there is a chance for some mistakes. Also a critical
appraisal by anyone will be heartily welcomed.
