INTRODUCTION


       “ORGANIZATION”, as the name suggests it is an organized system or body of people. To
understand the function of any organization practically there is a need to come out of the
theoretical study and to have a look on the real organization to analyze and compare the theory
with the practical. This could be achieved only when one will go through the real practical
experience.
       Organization study helps to know the real picture of the organization, its function, its
policies, procedures, methods and more over to understand whether our theoretical aspects are
really implemented by any company or not. Organizational study helps to learn the new methods,

INDUSTRY PROFILE:

    India is gifted with large quantity of Iron ore with a high ferrous content, which is the crucial
raw material for producing the steel. Hence India is one of the largest producers of steel in the
world.

            With the help of liberalization, globalization of economy in the process. There is a
significant scope for economic development, which means there will be focus on the
infrastructure. This will be focus on the infrastructure. This will lead to considerable demand for
steel. As it’s main applications are in the construction, engineering and automobile sectors, which
are key elements in building the infrastructure steel in universal intermediate and ahs very strong
forward end backward linkages hence steel industry has become one of the core sector of the
economy.

Though India is one of the largest steel producers. It has a very low percepts consumption of steel
in comparison with other developing and developed countries. As demand for steel is one the rise
we can expect good rise in the consumption.

          India is fortunate in having intensive iron ore deposits with reserves estimated at 10.3
billions which is more than 1/4th of the world’s reserves. Further the average iron ore content of
Indian ore is above 60% in India, the iron ore reserves are mainly found in the states Orissa,
Karnataka, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and some parts of western
Maharashtra.
         The steel industry has harvested to the bitter fruit of this excessive optimism in the firm of
overextended capacities throughout the world. Steel is not without lots of company in that regard.

                 Another important influence on steel intensity is the replacement of steel by other
materials. Calculating that portion of the reduction in the specific consumption of the steel that is
due to the use of other materials is extremely difficult.

         However, estimates made by the International Iron and steel Institute would seem to
indicate that for all of the Western industrialized countries the rate of substitution of materials
such as plastics, aluminum, glass and timber for steel is presently standing at between 2 and 5
percent of steel consumption.

                  Earlier to the Government liberalization and de – licensing policies in 1991–92,
there was manly two Pig Iron produces in the Indian market; the two Pig Iron producers were
TISCO and SAIL. They used to produce basic grade Pig Iron which contains less silicon content
when conversion to foundry grade Pig Iron. So when this is to be used by the foundries they have
and Ferro silicon for the conversion to

foundry grade also the availability quantity of Pig Iron to the foundries was very much limited
because only of ISCO and SAIL were looking after all the foundries in India.

       After the liberalization and de-licensing policies of government and private sectors
showed keen interest in the Pig Iron manufacturing units that to in the production of foundry
grade Pig Iron, TATA group in collaboration with Korf Brazil started supplying mini blast
furnace of 250 cubic meters. When blast furnaces were available, many private sectors started.
Producing Pig Iron among them, Sese, Goa, Usha Ispat, Sisco (Southern Iron and Steel Co. ltd).
Uni Metal,

 Meco, Lanco, Sathavana, Kirloskar are main. These all Pig Iron producers started producing
mainly foundry grade Pig Iron.

COMPANY PROFILE

       It has now been more than a century since the Kirloskar story started. We started with an
aim of becoming the pioneers in fields in which our country needed innovation. In the 100 years
and more that we have been in existence as a family and as an organization, we've been seminal to
Indian agricultural and industrial development. We gave India its first iron plough, pump and
engine; inventions that were devised from the need of the hour and went on to become signs of the
time. Which is why our group history can in many ways can be considered a history of the
economic and industrial revolution in India.

The founder and the first factory village

                          The Kirloskar story starts with Laxmanrao Kirloskar, the founder. A
                  man who believed that an understanding of one's environment and reality was
                  essential to the manufacture of path-breaking industrial implements. From this
                  steadfast belief was born the iron plough, the first Kirloskar product. Originally
intended as an essential aid to agriculture, the plough soon became an icon of reform and
revolution.

       A highlight of the early history of the group is Kirloskarvadi, India's first industrial
township. A model factory-village created by Laxmanrao and his band of dedicated workers.

       In January 1910, when the Kirloskar were being ousted from Belgaum to make room for a
new suburb, they found themselves in dire need of a place to live and work. Sensing this need, the
Raja of the princely state of Aundh, who admired and respected Laxmanrao Kirloskar, offered the
latter all the land he needed in Aundh state.

                Two months later, Laxmanrao Kirloskar set foot on 32 acres of barren land strewn
with cacti and infested with cobras. Driven by his faith in human ability, Laxmanrao banded
together 25 workers and their families and succeeded in transforming the barren expanse into his
dream village. Ramuanna, Laxmanrao's brother, planned and administered the township,

       Odd jobs man, Mangeshrao Rege was the clerk and chief accountant, Anantrao Phalnikar;
a school drop-out flowered into an imaginative engineer. Such was our founder's faith in the
human being that, Tukaram Ramoshi and Priya Mang, both convicted dacoits, became the trusted
guards of Kirloskarvadi!

The first Kirloskar Group Company

                             Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) - the first Kirloskar venture at
                   Kirloskarvadi was to become the base for all of the Kirloskar Group's
                   subsequent enterprises. It began as the only Indian company with its own
                   standard products - the fodder cutter and the iron plough, which competed with
the British products. KBL also manufactured groundnut shellers, sugarcane crushers and pumps,
which were to usher in a new economic order in the Indian industry. To power these machines,
diesel engines, coal gas generators and electric motors were developed at Kirloskarvadi.In a
display of great versatility, KBL then shifted its focus to fluid handling and control. As India's
largest manufacturer of pumps and valves, and also the group's flagship company, KBL lends its
strength and expertise to every new venture of the Kirloskar Group.

KIRLOSKAR FERROUS INDUSTRIES LIMITED (KFIL).

         Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Ltd. Is the youngest company in K-Group is a large-scale
industry to begin operations in rural and industrially backward district of Koppal.

    KFIL was conceived around 1992 triggered by the following factors:-

            1. Rapid growth in automotive and farm mechanization sectors.

            2. De-licensing and liberalization policies of the government.

            3. High volume demand for castings from the above sector.

            4. Demand of the thin walled casting with less machining allowance.

            5. Demand of accuracy of castings capable of being machined in CNC machine in
                single pass.

         Keeping this in mind K group came up with idea of founding KFIL with the experience
and expertise available in the group in field of foundry business.

         To ensure the desired quantity of raw materials and cost effectiveness in operation, KFIL
simultaneously went for PIP. It took advantage of abundant availability of Iron Ore, in Hospet
Bellary region and thus located the plant near Hospet.

         With this KFIL enjoys the following advantages in the castings production.

    A modern plant set to deliver castings of international quality to deliver the highest levels
         of customer’s satisfaction.

       The name “Kirloskar” itself is the mark of quality for the customer. The company has left
the opinion of transporting Pig Iron to the Buyers site to the Buyer. So one can buy the Pig Iron at
the Company’s Site or can order.
       The company has come across different Prices terminologies.
They are:

       If customer demands for 2.25% silicon, Then the company will supply exactly with this
proportion, where as others supply with range between i.e., 2.25% silicon etc.




       In this company, Pig Iron is melted once, almost 98-99% pure molten metal is obtained
while as in it is 97% size is almost comfortable for feeding into less opening firmness. The
company brand name helps in attracting customers. From the above points is clear that the
company is not using any mark penetrating pricing strategy to penetrate the market instead it is
using skimming price strategy.

Promotion

Each dealer will get Rs. 100 PMT, as commission for the pit iron is sells.
                                      Credit notes are given to these dealers for their commission.
Pig iron is also sold on credit as one of the promotion tools to attract customers. Credit time
depends on areas (less credit period is for North Zone) and order they give.

Need for the study:

                   Customer satisfaction level is the factor which has got its own importance in the
industrial marketing. A better satisfaction level to the customer means it is a good image of the
company. So many industries are providing good service and quality to the customers. And
company image is one of the most important for growth. So the companies should have to provide
better service, quality, quantity, price, to the customers until they satisfy with product. In the field
like steel companies (KFIL) where there is a tough competition to create a better satisfaction level
brand image in the minds of the customers. So this study helps to find out the attributes and
satisfaction level of the customers which helped the company to provide better service to
customers

                                          CONCLUSION


        It was an wonderful experience for me to work with KFIL, from the project I learnt about
the marketing tactics used by KFIL..
        KFIL is a reputed organization which has developed its goodwill in the market to compete
with other (company) famous brand. It has to adopt modern technology in the production process
and can do better marketing compared with others. It has to increase the rate of commission
payable to its agents or dealers or retailers.
        Bevinahalli is functioning well for the social as well as economical improvement of the
rural population.
        To survive in the market the company needs to adapt an aggressive marketing policy as of
competitors.
        Last but not the least I would like to conclude KFIL as good organization to work as well
as to interact with people. All the workers and members of the union nicely motivated me. The
KFIL retailers and wholesalers co-operated well and supported me in completing and making this
project a successfully.

Customer Satisfaction Level at Kirloskar Ltd Enriching Lives INDUSTRY PROFILE: India is gifted with large quantity of Iron ore with a high ferrous content, which is the crucial raw material for producing the steel. Hence India is one of the largest producers of steel in the world. With the help of liberalization, globalization of economy in the process. There is a significant scope for economic development, which means there will be focus on the infrastructure. This will be focus on the infrastructure. This will lead to considerable demand for steel. As it’s main applications are in the construction, engineering and automobile sectors, which are key elements in building the infrastructure steel in universal intermediate and ahs very strong forward end backward linkages hence steel industry has become one of the core sector of the economy. Though India is one of the largest steel producers. It has a very low percepts consumption of steel in comparison with other developing and developed countries. As demand for steel is one the rise we can expect good rise in the consumption. India is fortunate in having intensive iron ore deposits with reserves estimated at 10.3 billions which is more than 1/4th of the world’s reserves. Further the average iron ore content of Indian ore is above 60% in India, the iron ore reserves are mainly found in the states Orissa, Karnataka, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and some parts of western Maharashtra. The steel industry has harvested to the bitter fruit of this excessive optimism in the firm of overextended capacities throughout the world. Steel is not without lots of company in that regard. Another important influence on steel intensity is the replacement of steel by other materials. Calculating that portion of the reduction in the specific consumption of the steel that is due to the use of other materials is extremely difficult. However, estimates made by the International Iron and steel Institute would seem to indicate that for all of the Western industrialized countries the rate of substitution of materials such as plastics, aluminum, glass and timber for steel is presently standing at between 2 and 5 percent of steel consumption.

They used to produce basic grade Pig Iron which contains less silicon content when conversion to foundry grade Pig Iron. So when this is to be used by the foundries they have and Ferro silicon for the conversion to foundry grade also the availability quantity of Pig Iron to the foundries was very much limited because only of ISCO and SAIL were looking after all the foundries in India. After the liberalization and de-licensing policies of government and private sectors showed keen interest in the Pig Iron manufacturing units that to in the production of foundry grade Pig Iron, TATA group in collaboration with Korf Brazil started supplying mini blast furnace of 250 cubic meters. When blast furnaces were available, many private sectors started. Producing Pig Iron among them, Sese, Goa, Usha Ispat, Sisco (Southern Iron and Steel Co. ltd).

  • 12. Customer Satisfaction Level at Kirloskar Ltd Enriching Lives COMPANY PROFILE It has now been more than a century since the Kirloskar story started. We started with an aim of becoming the pioneers in fields in which our country needed innovation. In the 100 years and more that we have been in existence as a family and as an organization, we've been seminal to Indian agricultural and industrial development. We gave India its first iron plough, pump and engine; inventions that were devised from the need of the hour and went on to become signs of the time. Which is why our group history can in many ways can be considered a history of the economic and industrial revolution in India. The founder and the first factory village The Kirloskar story starts with Laxmanrao Kirloskar, the founder. A man who believed that an understanding of one's environment and reality was essential to the manufacture of path-breaking industrial implements. From this steadfast belief was born the iron plough, the first Kirloskar product. Originally intended as an essential aid to agriculture, the plough soon became an icon of reform and revolution. A highlight of the early history of the group is Kirloskarvadi, India's first industrial township. A model factory-village created by Laxmanrao and his band of dedicated workers. In January 1910, when the Kirloskar were being ousted from Belgaum to make room for a new suburb, they found themselves in dire need of a place to live and work. Sensing this need, the Raja of the princely state of Aundh, who admired and respected Laxmanrao Kirloskar, offered the latter all the land he needed in Aundh state. Two months later, Laxmanrao Kirloskar set foot on 32 acres of barren land strewn with cacti and infested with cobras. Driven by his faith in human ability, Laxmanrao banded together 25 workers and their families and succeeded in transforming the barren expanse into his dream village. Ramuanna, Laxmanrao's brother, planned and administered the township, BIMS College Bagalkot 12 Prashant v v

Such was our founder's faith in the human being that, Tukaram Ramoshi and Priya Mang, both convicted dacoits, became the trusted guards of Kirloskarvadi! The first Kirloskar Group Company Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) - the first Kirloskar venture at Kirloskarvadi was to become the base for all of the Kirloskar Group's subsequent enterprises. It began as the only Indian company with its own standard products - the fodder cutter and the iron plough, which competed with the British products. KBL also manufactured groundnut shellers, sugarcane crushers and pumps, which were to usher in a new economic order in the Indian industry. To power these machines, diesel engines, coal gas generators and electric motors were developed at Kirloskarvadi.In a display of great versatility, KBL then shifted its focus to fluid handling and control. As India's largest manufacturer of pumps and valves, and also the group's flagship company, KBL lends its strength and expertise to every new venture of the Kirloskar Group. KIRLOSKAR GROUP HISTORY 1888 - Mr. L. K. Kirloskar established the Kirloskar Group. Iron plough was the first product. 1910 -Factory set up in Kirloskarwadi to manufacture sugarcane crushers, groundnut shellers,farm implements, and hand pumps In 1946, manufacture of water pumps for irrigation started.

Is the youngest company in K-Group is a large-scale industry to begin operations in rural and industrially backward district of Koppal. KFIL was conceived around 1992 triggered by the following factors:- 1. Rapid growth in automotive and farm mechanization sectors. 2. De-licensing and liberalization policies of the government. 3. High volume demand for castings from the above sector. 4. Demand of the thin walled casting with less machining allowance. 5. Demand of accuracy of castings capable of being machined in CNC machine in single pass. Keeping this in mind K group came up with idea of founding KFIL with the experience and expertise available in the group in field of foundry business. To ensure the desired quantity of raw materials and cost effectiveness in operation, KFIL simultaneously went for PIP. It took advantage of abundant availability of Iron Ore, in Hospet Bellary region and thus located the plant near Hospet. With this KFIL enjoys the following advantages in the castings production.  A modern plant set to deliver castings of international quality to deliver the highest levels of customer’s satisfaction.

  • 76. Customer Satisfaction Level at Kirloskar Ltd Enriching Lives CONCLUSION It was an wonderful experience for me to work with KFIL, from the project I learnt about the marketing tactics used by KFIL.. KFIL is a reputed organization which has developed its goodwill in the market to compete with other (company) famous brand. It has to adopt modern technology in the production process and can do better marketing compared with others. It has to increase the rate of commission payable to its agents or dealers or retailers. Bevinahalli is functioning well for the social as well as economical improvement of the rural population. To survive in the market the company needs to adapt an aggressive marketing policy as of competitors. Last but not the least I would like to conclude KFIL as good organization to work as well as to interact with people. All the workers and members of the union nicely motivated me. The KFIL retailers and wholesalers co-operated well and supported me in completing and making this project a successfully. BIMS College Bagalkot 76 Prashant v v
