1-Introduction
You can have the greatest business model in the world and the best systems, but if your people cant handle the growth, youre still toast. If your company isnt investing in training, think about all the companies you admire as models for doing business right. Youll not only find that theyve got a good training program, but training is a part of their culture. If you ask them why they train, they probably would look at you like you were from Mars, because its like asking them why they breathe. If you want to breathe some life into your operation, start by investing in your people: train them. During this research I tried to understand how training program assist newcomers in learning about the organization in the wider context so that they become integrated swiftly and effectively and make a contribution to companys business as quickly as possible.
Training is often included as an essential element of an organizations strategy to gain a competitive advantage. Regulatory agencies require that employees be trained certain topics and personal development/career paths often specify skill and knowledge areas which must be mastered. These are the factors that influence an organizations overall training program. With all these sometimes-divergent factors competing for resources training systems can become stressed, ineffective, inefficient and fragmented. Organizations need a structure approach when developing/improving their training system.
The tool of Analysis adopted by me is Pie Charts" which I have prepared on the basis of my questionnaire
In this project I have tried to present briefly the Training and Development appraisal at Northern Aromatic Ltd. Also tried to collect some information from the employees and get their feedback on the existing system. My aim of the training has been to get a better insight into the HR department activities i.e. Training and Development. This report can be a useful guide to researchers in future in this field.
Why train employees? Employee training and development initiatives can transform organizations with providing extra skills to your employees to not only increase safety and productivity but training leads to higher job satisfaction, which shows up in better corporate performance.
Valuable training also includes situational training that provides personnel the skill sets That allows them to make timely, knowledgeable decisions that benefit both the customer and the company. Reasons why Most Managers Don't Train Employees There are five key reasons why managers don't train their employees. They Don't Have the Time they are so busy doing more and more with less and less that they simply don't have the time. And, of course, this can be fatal to an organization over time. What happens to a company in today's competitive marketplace who doesn't continually invest in upgrading the skills of their
employees? It's the same thing that would happen to a championship football or baseball team that doesn't practice every day. Soon, they are no longer a winner. They Don't Know How to Do it many managers are confronted by employees who want training. These people want to develop their skills and help their companies succeed. Their managers just don't know how to respond. So, like many people, when they don't know how to do something they will avoid it. They Don't Know What Material to Use there are literally thousands of books and videos available to companies for training purposes. So, which ones do they choose? This is why my management, sales, and motivational materials are so valuable. We have carefully selected the materials, modularized the content so that each video is full of good ideas that can be easily applied in the workplace. They Don't Know How to Follow It up One big concern many mangers express is they don't know how to measure the value of the training that their employees receive. Gain an "action commitment" from employees such that the manager needs only to follow up on that commitment. They Don't Know How to Get People to Apply the New Skills Learned Again, the way to justify the investment in training
In any company some factor effect the training: Strategies changes Technical changes Matter of cost saving
If the top management of the company wants to change their strategies, then here company wants trained people for work. So firstly company looked for the experienced
people, but it is very difficult to get trained people. So they hired semi- skilled people and after joining them they give them training. And so this can work effectively and according to the requirement of the company. If company wants some technical change in product, they also require trained people for work. Technical change requires more technical people. If company wants to retain the same people who are working form last some times then company has to give them training. After getting training a worker can adjust in any environment and work effectively. Todays era is the cost cutting era. In the intensive competition cost of the product is very important. We cant survive in the market with high cost. So we need to cut the cost of the product. For cutting the cost we need more trained worker who can work faster and quickly, to reduce the production time. At lastly we can get the low price product.
So that in every area we need trained people. For getting trained people we have to make them trained by giving training.

Types of on the job techniques: Job instruction training Job rotation Apprenticeship Coaching Vestibule training
Off the job Training: Off the job method are those training and development programs that take place away from the daily pressures of the job and conducted by highly competent outside resource people who often serve as trainers, which is one of the main advantages of this method. The major drawback of this is the transfer problem. Types of off the job training: Lecture Method Audio-visual techniques Conference or discussion method Role playing Case Study Simulation Counseling Understudies System
11
Factors which affect the choice of training method: The choice of methods depends on the knowledge and experience of the teacher or trainer. The choice of the methods should take into consideration the intellectual level and educational background of the participants and the participants age practical experience. Some methods are more effective than others in achieving certain objective. Choice methods depend on the social and cultural factors in the environment. Now many participative methods are accepted and used in management training. It also depends on the time and the availability of resources and infrastructural facilities.

Around 70 per cent of the total households in India (188 million) reside in the rural areas. The total number of rural households is expected to rise from 135 million in 2001-02 to 153 million in 2009-10. This presents the largest potential market in the world. The annual size of the rural FMCG market was estimated at around US$ 10.5 billion in 2001-02. With growing incomes at both the rural and the urban level, the market potential is expected to expand further.
India - a large consumer goods spender An average Indian spends around 40 per cent of his income on grocery and 8 per cent on
14
personal care products. The large share of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) in total individual spending along with the large population base is another factor that makes India one of the largest FMCG markets. Even on an international scale, total consumer expenditure on food in India at US$ 120 billion is amongst the largest in the emerging markets, next only to China
Demand-supply gap Currently, only a small percentage of the raw materials in India are processed into value added products even as the demand for processed and convenience food is on the rise. This demand supply gap indicates an untapped opportunity in areas such as packaged form, convenience food and drinks, milk products etc. In the personal care segment, the low penetration rate in both the rural and urban areas indicates a market potential.
15
largest producers of synthetic soda ash in the world is located in India. The availability of these raw materials gives India the locational advantage.
Leveraging the cost advantage Global major, Unilever, sources a major portion of its product requirements from its Indian subsidiary, HLL. In 2003-04, Unilever outsourced around US$ 218 million of home and personal care along with food products to leverage on the cost arbitrage opportunities with the West. To take another case, Procter & Gamble (P&G) outsourced the manufacture of Vicks Vaporub to contract manufacturers in Hyderabad, India. This enables P&G to continue exporting Vicks Vaporub to Australia, Japan and other Asian countries, but at more competitive rates, whilst maintaining its high quality and cost efficiency.
Cost competitiveness Apart from the advantage in terms of ample raw material availability, existence of lowcost labor force also works in favor of India. Labor cost in India is amongst the lowest in Asian countries. Easy raw material availability and low labor costs have resulted in a lower cost of production. Many multi-nationals have set up large low cost production bases in India to outsource for domestic as well as export markets.
Presence across value chain Indian firms also have a presence across the entire value chain of the FMCG industry from supply of raw material to final processed and packaged goods, both in the personal care products and in the food processing sector. For instance, Indian firm Amul's product portfolio includes supply of milk as well as the supply of processed dairy products like cheese and butter. This makes the firms located in India more cost competitive.

Personal care The size of the personal wash products is estimated at US$ 989 million; hair care products at US$ 831 million and oral care products at US$ 537 million. While the overall personal wash market is growing at one per cent, the premium and middle-end soaps are growing at a rate of 10 per cent. The leading players in this market are HLL, Nirma, Godrej Soaps and Reckitt & Colman. The oral care market, especially toothpastes, remains under
17
penetrated in India (with penetration level below 45 per cent) due to lack of hygiene awareness among rural markets. The industry is very competitive both for organized and smaller regional players. The Indian skin care and cosmetics market is valued at US$ 274million and dominated by HLL, Colgate Palmolive, Gillette India and Godrej soaps. This segment has witnessed the entry of a number of international brands, like Oriflame, Avon and Aviance leading to increased competition. The coconut oil market accounts for 72 percent share in the hair oil market. In the branded coconut hair oil market, Marico (with Parachute) and Dabur are the leading players. The market for branded coconut oil is valued at approximately US$ 174 million. Food According to the Ministry of Food Processing, the size of the Indian food processing industry is around US$ 65.6 billion including US$20.6 billion of value added products. Of this, the health beverage industry is valued at US$ 230 billion; bread and biscuits at US$ 1.7billion; chocolates at US$ 73 million and ice creams at US$ 188million. The size of the semi-processed/ready to eat food segment is over US$ 1.1 billion. Large biscuits & confectionery units, Soya-processing units and starch/glucose producing units have also come up, catering to domestic and international markets. The three largest consumed categories of packaged foods are packed tea, biscuits and soft drinks.
Beverages The Indian beverage industry faces over supply in segments like coffee and tea. However, more than half of this is available in unpacked or loose form. Indian hot beverage market is a tea dominant market. Consumers in different parts of the country have heterogeneous tastes. Dust tea is popular in southern India, while loose tea in preferred in western India. The urban-rural split of the tea market was 51:49 in 2000. 18
Coffee is consumed largely in the southern states. The size of the total packaged coffee market is 19,600 tones or US$ 87 million. The urban rural split in the coffee market was 61:39 in 2000 as against 59:41 in 1995.The total soft drink (carbonated beverages and juices) market is estimated at 284 million crates a year or US$ 1 billion. The market is highly seasonal in nature with consumption varying from 25 million crates per month during peak season to 15 million during off-season. The market is predominantly urban with 25 per cent contribution from rural areas. Coca cola and Pepsi dominate the Indian soft drinks market. Mineral water market in India is 65 million crates (US$ 50 million) industry. On an average, the monthly consumption is estimated at4.9 million crates, which increases to 5.2 million during peak season.

Study of Needs of Training In Northern Aromatic Ltd., training is customized product wise. If any defect comes in a product or process, a training session is initiated to eradicate root cause. There are normally two work stations in production, 1. Critical station 2. Normal station At critical work station an efficient worker should produce 5000 to 6000 units in one shift. At this work station minor job is done.
At normal work station an efficient worker should be produce 8000 to 10000 units in one shift in normal circumstances. In this company there are two types of worker are working. 1. Permanent worker 2. Temporary worker
A worker get the permanent job after the good and consistent performance in the company, these people are well experienced in their relative jobs. Temporary worker is a layman. They dont know any thing about the work, so these types of people require training. When a new person joins the company, he got the training about the safety and maintenance. For getting these training he is send in technical training cell (TTC). In TTC he has to go some basic knowledge and instruction, which is given by the just senior boss. That person is called line in charge. During the training a person gets the job. He is watched by the line in charge. At any point the line in charged found any fault in the
25
work, the line in charge instructed at that time, so that the worker does the job in a proper way and come out with zero-defect product. After the TTC training employees are divided among various teams and send to the different operations, on the different operations. A line-in charge is there, who will watch each and every steps during the work. If any fault in the work is found, he takes that serious and instructs to remove the fault immediately. After some experience the worker is transferred from one operation to another operation area, where same procedure is performed. He works and if any confusion gets regarding the job, he may ask the line in charge or if line in charge sees any fault during the Operation, he educates the worker to do the job better. This process is repeated on each and every operation. This is how each and every employee is familiarized to the job. The main advantage of this job rotation is, if any worker does not come on the particular day, that place can be filled by any other worker and the works progress without any interruption.
After job rotation and getting experienced the entire worker divided into three groups, Highly efficient Efficient Adequate
If a person can handle the entire machines related to any particular job; that worker is called highly efficient worker. After getting training 40% out of them became as highly efficient worker. These workers are very efficient and can handle any situation during the work. He can work on any machine at any time without any problem. These people can take decision at the critical point of time. So that these type of worker are called highly efficient worker. After highly efficient the second category is called efficient. In this category those type of person are master in their job. He is master in one job. In this category 50% worker
26
comes. These types of people are well known people in their particular job. They are not able to handle the different machines. They feel problem in some job. After that the third category comes, that is called adequate. This type is not beneficial for the company. Thats why they are not acceptable. They have less knowledge and not will to work. Highly efficient person is well-known about his job. He can handle any situation. So that these type of people dont require training.
Efficient people are master of just on job. Thats why they need training to be highly efficient worker.
27
Methods of training in company In Northern Aromatic Rudrapur, Need based system of importing training is followed. Training is based on the frequency of defects found during the production. Job supervisor is vigilantly watching each and every product. If he finds any defect in the product, he instructs the worker to do right way. If no. of worker are doing same mistake, then all of them are taken in a group and provided training spontaneously & the process in recurred. This way only defective based training is provided by the company. Company is giving training to the efficient worker. For them there are three types of training; Counseling Give the opportunity to work with highly efficient worker. Give the expert knowledge about the work.
In counseling the instructor or line in charge counsel the worker. A line in charge tries to motivate the worker to do their job in proper way. This is a verbal communication. With the help of words a senior person tries to make them as effective as highly efficient worker. The second option provide them opportunity to work with highly efficient people helps those people to learn. During the work he can watch how the highly efficient people work? How can they handle the situation? They got the idea about the problem, which may be arising during the work. They also get the idea about dealing those types of problems. This way an efficient worker is developed to be highly efficient worker. Before start working every worker should get the knowledge about the job profile. Without proper knowledge no one can perform better. There must be some defective in the product due to less knowledge about the production process. So a specific knowledge is essential for zero-defect product. This is the duty of management to educate them and provide full knowledge about the production process and quality control. 28
For adequate people company has some other way for giving them training. The work pressure is the best way for make them work. Under this the adequate person is send to work between two highly efficient workers. Highly efficient people can work faster than adequate person. So from both sides he faces the pressure for work faster and effectively. This way an adequate worker can be the efficient and highly efficient worker for company.

45
4.2 Suggestions
The printed material is very useful in training. These materials should be given
before the training. Written material would provide the overall idea about the training and make the trainees understand better. Before developing the training contents some points should be taken care of.
There should be some practical values in that. The training should include new ideas and should be helpful in the development of trainees. It must be relevant to the hob of workers and staffs. In the training process the efficient use of time should be made as time is the most important factor in any job.
convenience of the trainees as well as the management. Workers require more training so they need one in every six month. Staffs required less training in the compression of workers, so they required at least on training program every year. The duration of any event is the most important, which maker any program
successful or fail. It should be according to the needs of the trainees of participants. In my opinion the duration of the training would be 16 hours.
46
4.3 Conclusions
Training is a costly affair for the management. It needs a handsome amount and long time. So management has to play safe game for the benefits of the company as well as the workers. One wrong decision may enforce the company to fall into deep troubles. So selecting the weak areas of staffs and workers should be done very carefully. For that the management should be conduct a test. For providing an effective training, company requires a knowledgeable trainer. Selecting a particular trainer is again a difficult job. Trainer demands handsome money. Training needs time and cost both. To conclude, it is very clear that training should be provided but not at the loss of the company. It is very costly and time taking affair. But it is most important for the development of the company. So management cant avoid it at any cost.
