1. INDUSTRY PROFILE
Industries are the pointing lights to the growth of an economy and are the backbone of the
country. The development and growth of a country largely depends on industrialization of its
economy.
India is the basically an agriculture-based country. It is after the independence, India has given
importance to the growth of industrial development through five year planning programs.
Government has taken a leading march to up heave the movement of industrialization.
For any country, small or big, developed or developing, need good infrastructure facilities such
as roads, dams, tunnels etc, the infrastructural facilities are the primary needs for the
transportation or movement of goods. Roads play a vital role in this aspect.
Tremendous development has taken place in science and technology, which has mechanized
every work in every field. Manually carried out work is less productive and time consuming.
Thus to increase efficiency and productive, mechanical equipment came into existence and
almost every field is mechanized. As such, the demand for such mechanical equipments has
increased tremendously.
India has been ruled by foreigners for several years. And such, after independence India has
given priority to strengthen the countrys defense force. Several industries producing defense
equipment has been started by the government of India thereafter. India felt the need of having
strong defence which is capable of defending its borders from neighbors. In this view, BEML
has been established by ministry of defense.

like railways coaches, earthmovers, machineries, etc. Ministry of defence started one unit of
BEML at KGF in the year 1964.It is one of the biggest units in Asia.
BEML has number of branches all over India. Its various units in different parts of the country
have immensely contributed to the growth of the Indian economy. It not only has provided
employment but also successfully achieved the advantage of economies of scale. Ancillary and
small scale industries have been started around its vicinity. It is contributing to the economic

3. MCKINSEYS 7S MODEL
All the 7s
1. Structure
2. Skill
3. Style
4. Strategy
5. System
6. Staff
7. Shared values play a vital role for the success of any organization.

The 7s framework of Mc Kinsey is a management model that describes 7 factors to organize a

company in a holistic and effective way. The two persons who developed this model are Tom
Peters and Robert Waterman were consultants at Mc Kinsey and Company. They published
their 7-S model in their article Structure Is Not Organization (1980) and in their books the
art of Japanese management (1981) and in search of excellence (1982).
The McKinsey 7S model was named after a consulting company, McKinsey and Company,
which has conducted applied research in business and industry. The McKinsey 7S Framework
was created as a recognizable and easily remembered model in business. The seven variables,
which the authors term "levers", all begin with the letter "S". These seven variables include
structure, strategy, systems, skills, style, staff, and shared values
Those seven elements are distinguished as hard Ss and soft Ss. The three hard elements are
feasible and easy to identify. They can be found in strategy statements, corporate plans,
organizational charts and other documentation.

The four soft Ss however, are hardly feasible. They are difficult to describe since capabilities,
values and elements of corporate culture are continuously developing and changing. They are
highly determined by the people at work in the organization.

4. SWOT ANALYSIS
A scan of the internal and external environment is an important part of the strategic planning
process. Environmental factors internal to the firm usually can be classified as Strengths (S) or
Weaknesses (W), and that are external to the firm can be classified as Opportunity (O) or
Threats(T). Such an analysis of the strategic environment is referred to as SWOT analysis. The
SWOT (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunity and Threats) analysis has been a useful tool for
industry. The SWOT analysis is effectively used as a Decision Making Aid while planning new
vocational programs.
The process of utilizing the SWOT approach requires an internal survey of strengths and
weakness of the program and an external survey of threats and opportunities. Structured
internal and external examination is unique in the world of curriculum planning and
development. It is a useful way of examining current environmental conditions around program
offerings. A SWOT analysis looks at the future possibilities of the institution through a
systematic approach into both Positive and negative concerns.
It is relatively simple way of quickly expanding their vision. Probably the strongest message
from SWOT analysis is that, whatever the course of action is decided, decision-making should
contain each of the following elements: Building on Strengths, Minimizing Weaknesses,
Seizing Opportunities and countering Threats.
