technical condition required by customers. However, on an average for manufacturing of
Carbon Steel Castings it will take 7 to 10 Days and for stainless Steel 15 to 17 days, if
Machining Components required it will add more time for processing.
PRODUCTION PROCESS IN DETAIL
• First of all, Silica and sand are mixed with binders which are dropped by a
continuous mixer in such a way that it covers the pattern well. The remaining space
of the flask is filled with backing sand from a batch mixer.
• The sand is being compacted well over the compaction table.
• The moulds are stripped out from the pattern at stripping station using pneumatic
stripping machine after lapse of stipulated time.
• The stripped moulds are placed on pallet cars which are moving on rails and
moved to coating area.
• Moulds are cleaned with brush and air for loose and then it is coated with mould
paints and dried.
• The cores which are made by core shouting machine are set in the mould cavity to
form the internal surface of the casting.
25
• Top and bottom of moulds are closed with the help of jib crane and the closed
moulds are moved to pouring area and liquid metal is poured after 3 to 4 hours.
Using refractory lined bottom pouring ladle with the help of an over head crane,
heat number punched metal strips are kept in the sprue feeder for identification of
casting.
• Poured moulds are allowed to cool for 2-3 hours and the pallet cars along with the
poured moulds are moved to knockout area. Moulds are knocked out by using
knockout machine and castings are separated from the moulding box.
26
• The sand in and around the castings are removed by pneumatic chipping machine,
heat number are transferred from strip to casting surface by punching, casting are
inspected at this stage and it is called 1st stage inspection.
• Down sprue, flow off and feeders are cut by arc or gas cutting. Castings are shot
blasted using shot blasting machine. Now castings undergo 2nd stage inspection.
• If required, cosmetic welding can be carried out in castings if minor defects are
noticed such as inclusion, crack etc.
• Then the castings are finished by using grinding machines.
• As per the customer requirement castings are heat treated in heat treatment furnace.
• Then castings are finally shot blasted and are inspected. If required by customer,
castings undergo x-ray, ultrasonic test and then it is dispatched.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
• As per the customer drawing pattern is prepared, it is send for inspection.
• After inspection of pattern, it is assured whether it is clear for production.
• As per the customer’s demand production planning is prepared and according to it
moulds are made.
• As per mouldings, production plan and melting heat plans are prepared.
• After it heat is poured in mouldings.
27
• After that process moulds are broken and scrap or excess metal and other

resource management. The word management can be divided in the following way:-
MANAGEMENT – Manage
Men
(Tactfully)
Human Resource Department is an important part of any organization. It
is said that → “MIND YOUR MEN AND YOUR MEN WILL MIND
EVERYTHING”

is to get work done through others. An efficient organization is where the human resource
feels a sense of belonging to the organization and works with enthusiasm and interest in
his work.
The social objectives of business can be achieved only through the
efficient utilization of human efforts. Therefore management of man – power assumes
greater importance.

PROMOTION & TRANSFER POLICY
ℵ PROMOTION
By promotion is generally meant the assignment of a position of higher
responsibility to an individual. Promotion can be used as a recruitment source for a
higher position. This would encourage the existing employees, providing them with
motivation and at the same time opening a source of recruitment at the lower end of the
hierarchy for outsiders. An employee from within the organization may be promoted on
two bases that is seniority or merit basis.
An employee may be promoted on the basis of his seniority. This refers to
promoting an employee according to his length of service in the organization which is
counted from the date of his joining the organization.
An employee is considered for promotion on merit basis. This refers to the
merit ratings of an employee throughout the organization records. The merit is reflected
in the annual reports. The ratings of the employees are compared with one another and
the employee with the best rated performance is given a chance to be promoted.
In ROLEX RINGS PVT. LTD the workers are promoted on the basis of
their job evaluation & performance evaluation. Thus, promotion demands better salary,
wages, work, and more responsibility etc. Board Of Directors takes all promotion
decisions. First ask for all reports of the employees from the human resource department
and after that they analyze the reports and make a decision for promotion. Later,
promotion letter is send to the employees, departmental head and the human resource
department.
48
ℵ TRANSFER
A lateral movement not involving a promotion or a demotion is described
as a transfer. A transfer therefore does not involve a material change in responsibility or
compensation. Transfers are utilized to place employees in position where they are likely
to be more effective or in which they get greater job satisfaction.
For successful transfer policies, it is necessary to have proper job
descriptions, job analysis which helps to both transfer and promotion. Besides, excessive
transfer can be reduced by incorporating adequate selection and placement procedures.

LTD but if required the employees may be transfer from one job to another job in case
the employees is really inefficient in doing his job well. Transfer policy is decided by

As the study has to be carried out in Rajkot City, a detailed knowledge had to be
acquiring to gather the information regarding my Project Title.
I had successfully gathered the information which was directly affecting my study
i.e., the major customer prevailing in Rajkot City other than Rolex Rings RINGS total
population, knowledge prevailing in the minds of people, their desire for RINGS
machines.
Here I needed to frame information regarding:
From where to get information.
Time allotted for getting information.
Measurement techniques.
Cost involved in conducting it.
Availability of data sources
After gathering the above information, I had framed a design through which I got
sufficient information about my Project Title. But as there was a time constraint, the
sample size was not too large.
Selecting the Research Method :
The research design method is chosen based on the objectives of the study, the
cost involved in conducting the study, the availability of the data and finally the
importance & urgency of the decisions.
There are four main research methods:
Secondary Data studies
Surveys
Experiments
Observations
I have chosen mainly the Survey Method for my research work as the information
can only be gathered with the help of Questionnaire. I have conducted survey to get
primary data regarding the services of different RINGS machines users. I got the data
gathered first hand to answer the research question being investigated.
I have prepared a questionnaire related to my study & had circulated to the walk
in units in Rajkot city. The questionnaire contained many important questions.
I have also taken help of Secondary Data Studies in completion of my Project as it
is concerned with the analysis of already existing data that is related to the research topic.

FUTURE OUTLOOK
108
The company has established growth rate in last three years. Primarily it
was concentrated on cost reduction however, increase in turnover in the domestic as well
as international market are the main motto now. In the same line company has enhanced
its production capacity from 100 tons to 150 tons.
109
CONCLUSION
India is a developing country and it has adopted free economy. So it is an
opportunity for every company to upgrade its technology and other process in order to
stand in modern market, which has neck to neck competition.
For selling of products, the company appoints agents. Transportation
facility is given to the employees. The unit is very clean and follows the strict timings.
This proves the punctuality of the unit. The quality control system undertaken by this unit
ensures the purchase of best and long-lasting products.
I would like to give my whole-heartedly best compliment for each and
every ladder of success which they take for expansion and for achieving bright future.
110
SUGGESTION
The company should maintain its quality of the products in order to
increase its sales.
The technically qualified staff persons are very less, so they should be
employed more to get effective and qualitative production.
The electric power generator should be employed to prevent interruption
in continuous production process for melting furnace, if it is economic.
A more exhaust fans should be required to grasp and exit of smoke
produced in melting furnace or more ventilation should be provided in walls at the place
of melting furnace.
There is restriction in the production of mould and workers walks on the
mould because of shorten in floor space.
