INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT
Organization is nothing but a group of people whose activities have been planned &
coordinated to meet organization objectives. An organization that exists to produce &
services has a good chance to service & prosper it. It consists of right people.
The vast majority of people work to support themselves & their families. But
people work for many other reasons other than economic security e.g. many also work to
keep busy & feel useful, to create & achieve something. They want to gain recognition &
achiever status or to test & stretch their capabilities. To meet these multifarious needs,
people & organization join forces.
The biggest challenge to an the manager is to make all employees contribute tothe success of the organization in an ethical & socially responsible way. The society well-
being, to a large extend depends on its organization particularly business organization. It
is the business organization which makes goods & service available, provided job,
generate wealth & land stability & security to the people.
To assist employees in achieving their personal goals, at least in so for as these
goals enhance the individuals contribution to the organization. Personal objective of
employees must be met if workers leave the organization is to be maintained retained &
motivated. Otherwise, employee performance & satisfaction may decline & employee
may leave the organization.
Human resource is the important factor of the organization. If this factor is not satisfied
or not work properly then organization cannot achieve their target.
For that purpose employees are of ten asked to supply Hindware information
about the content of job, given their familiarity with it. An organization expects accurateinformation about the job as well as organization also concerned about the employees
reaction to having their jobs analyzed. In order to prevent employee dis-satisfaction
uncertainty & anxiety, organization should communicate the reason for conducting the
job analysis & keep the employee informed about employee satisfaction process.

INTRODUCTION
Hindustan Sanitaryware & Industries Ltd., (HSIL)
Brief History & Business of the Company
Hindustan Sanitaryware & Industries Ltd., (HSI) was established as Hindustan Twyfords
Ltd., in 1960 by the Somany Group, in collaboration with Twyfords Ltd., the
Sanitaryware giant of U.K. When the Indian company opted for exports, in order to avoid
brand interpolation in the international market, the company was given its existing name.
Initially, Twyfords U.K. had an equity of 26% in HSI but, as Twyfords U.K. itself
changed hands very often, sometimes being held by Groups who by themselves did not
have much interest in the housing or construction business (such as Reed- a large paper
conglomerate), and the fact that H.S.I. diversified and took over sick companies such as
Associated Glass Industries and Krishna Ceramics Ltd., by way of mergers which
resulted into dilution of Twyfords stake.
HSI was the first company in India to manufacture Vitreous China Sanitaryware
when even in the U.K. production of such sanitary ware was only 50% of the total
sanitaryware being produced. From a meager start, the company today commands
a 41% market share. The installed capacity of 600 tonnes/year at the time of
inception has now reached 32000 tonnes/year (2.8 million pieces/year), after the
expansion and modernization at Bahadurgarh, acquisition of Krishna Ceramics
Ltd., at Bibinagar in 1989 and its merger into HSI (Ceramic Divn.II) and also its
modernization and expansion, and the acquisition of Raasi Ceramics (Division of
India Cements Ltd.,) recently in March 1999.
HSI has continuously reinvested in creating the finest production facilities. The
company has the largest of its kind 110 meter long, 5.5 meter wide open flame
microprocessor controlled and one of the most energy efficient kilns in the world.
The company has also invested significantly in a high-voltage electrostatic automatic
glazing system, operating at 100,000 volts, for a superior glaze finish.

HINDUSTAN SANITARYWARE & INDUSTRIES LTD.
The company extensively uses battery casting for the highest productivity in
sanitaryware in the country.
HSI is first to help Indian Standards Institution (ISI) now named Bureau of Indian
Standards (BIS) to develop quality standards for sanitaryware industry and first toobtain license for marking their products with ISI mark.
HSI is the only company in the sanitaryware field, which has an applied R&D
Centre recognized by the Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt. of India for more
than 25 years.
The company has the largest product range to suite any bathroom economic or
luxurious, Indian style or European, conventional or ultra modern matched with
whisper or flamboyant colures.
With over 500 exclusive dealers and products available at nearly 10000 retail
outlets, backed by ISO 9002 certification at all units, FASCINATING HINDWAREaims to enrich customer homes all over the country. The Bahadurgarh plant is alsoISO 14001 certified.
On the export front also, the company has done remarkably well and has
maintained its status of the single largest exporter of sanitaryware in the country.
In this sector, new markets have been identified. The company has also developed
new models and new colours for these markets.
Glass Division of HSI was earlier Associated Glass Ind. Ltd., incorporated in 1965 and
was promoted by a private promoter with financial participation of APIDC (a stategovernment financial institution). The plant was set up in 1966 and production started in
1972. The initial licensed capacity of the plant was 24000 tonnes/annum of glass bottlesand 1500 tonnes/annum of crystal ware. Factory started with two small furnaces (flint and
amber) with individual capacities of about 40 tonnes draw per day.
The unit was continuously faring badly because of lower capacity utilization and lower
efficiency. The unit became sick by the end of 1979 having accumulated losses over 150
million rupees. In June 1981 company was acquired by and merged in HSI and now isknown as AGI glaspac (A strategic Business Unit of HSI). An ambition program for
modernization was well implemented to achieve greater efficiency. This unit now ISO
9001 certified recently installed a state-of-the-art 250 TPD deep refiner type furnace and
supplies glass containers to a wide spectrum of industries with major quality consciousmultinational customers. With the commissioning of the new furnace, the production
capacity has increased to 110,000 tonnes/annum.
