Functional areas of the

company
 3.1 HUMAN RESOURCE

DEFINITION: Human Resource Management (HRM) is the term used to describe formal systems
devised for the management of people within an organization. The responsibilities of a human resource
manager fall into three major areas: staffing, employee compensation and benefits, and defining/designing
work.

HEADHUNTING
Headhunting is a form of recruitment and selection where the recruiter finds the contact details of a specific
candidate that has some specific skills and contacts him/her in order to convince him/her to participate in the
recruitment process. Headhunting doesn’t mean that the recruiter is calling you to make an offer. Just to
convince you to participate in the process. 
Headhunting means that the recruiter has done some research concerning you and that they are interested in
your knowledge and experience. So, is them calling you a good thing? Of course… if they are interested, it
means you are able to have higher demands.

OUTSOURCING
The HR processes are being outsourced from more than a decade now.
The outsourcing firms helps the organization by the initial screening of the candidates according to the needs
of the organization and creating a suitable pool of talent for the final selection by the organization.

ADVANTAGES
 Value creation
 Company need not plan for HR much in advance
 Turning the management focus to strategic level process of HRM
 Saves lots of resources and time

DISADVANTAGES
 Loss of managerial control
 Hidden costs
 Threat to security and confidentiality
 Quality problems
 Tied to financial well-being of another company
 Bad publicity and ill-will
EMPLOYEES PROVIDENT FUND ORGANISATION
 Code number BG/MRD/57776 is allotted to their establishment for the purpose of making
compliance with various provisions of EPF and miscellaneous Provision Act 1952. This code
number should be invariably be quoted in all correspondence with the office.
 The contribution payable by the employer shall be at the rate of 12 % of the basic wages, dearness
allowance (including cash value of any food concessions and retaining allowance. Each contribution
shall be calculated to the nearest rupee ie; 50 paise or more.
 Before paying the member’s wages, they shall deduct the contribution from his wages which
together with their own contribution and administration charges shall be paid within 15 days.

OBJECTIVES OF HR PLANNING
 Workforce analysis judges the future trends of specific jobs in the company and how will they
change, such as technological trends, expected surpluses or layoffs, and needed skill sets.
 Internal scans are used to identify key movements and patterns within the organization which may
affect HR operations.
 Gap analysis is used to plot where the HR policies currently are, where they will need to be meet
future goals, and how a company can move ahead in its HR strategy.

SOFTWARE EXAMPLES OF HR

RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION

Recruitment can be defined as searching for and obtaining a pool of potential candidates with the desired
knowledge, skills and experience to allow an organisation to select the most appropriate people to fill job
vacancies against defined position descriptions and specifications.
 STRATEGY

Having an effective recruitment strategy is paramount to the success of any organization.  The recruitment
and selection function can become a costly and inefficient process if not approached in a systematic and
proactive manner.  A recruitment and selection strategy:

 Ensures the organization has the necessary skills, knowledge and attributes to meet current and
future strategic and operational requirements
 Ensures supply meets demand requirements
 Increases the pool of potential applicants
 Improves the selection process by ensuring that only those applicants that meet the requirements of
the position are selected for further investigation.
3.2 MARKETING

Definition: The management process through which goods and services move from concept to the

customer. It includes the coordination of four elements called the 4 P's of marketing:
(1) identification, selection and development of a product,
(2) determination of its price,
(3) selection of a distribution channel to reach the customer's place, and
(4) development and implementation of a promotional strategy.

CLOUD MARKETING
Cloud marketing is the process of an organizations efforts to market their goods and services online
through integrated digital experiences, by which they are specialized for every single end user. The aim is to
use advertising methods to target customers via online applications through social media websites such
as Facebook, Twitter and various online portals to target consumers. Cloud marketing platforms are
supported with third parties which maintain the platform.
ADVANTAGES OF CLOUD MARKETING
 Cost effectiveness
 Customization
 Time

DISADVANTAGES OF CLOUD MARKETING

 User experiences
 Fraudulent Material
 Digital divide (partition between given population)

MAJOR LEARNING
This company has 4 major key elements-------

Establishing the goals:

The first steps into cloud marketing include finding the objective or goal for the marketing project. The
proposer would need to clearly state the objectives, which can be retained in quantitative or qualitative data.
By establishing the goal and objectives of the marketing campaign, this limits the plan being deployed
haphazardly.

Development:

The development stage is where the marketing team create the graphics and media material. The web
development team find a method to post the material onto the world

the overall efficiency of the cloud marketing method. wide web or online source. The marketing add would
need to meet its main objective and purpose, the development team will need to develop and plan to make
the material visually appealing.

Maintenance:

The maintenance step will require updating whilst the material is online. it will require continuous upkeep.
Cloud marketing techniques include regular updating to ensure they are reaching their end user and have a
valid subject. Marketing members are responsible for moderating any discussion boards and keeping content
updated increasing the validity.

Evaluation:

Throughout the duration of the marketing material, the message would need to be evaluated to determine
how successful it has been to the end user. The outcome should be established in the strategy allowing the
marketer to adapt and increase

DATABASE MARKETING
"Database Marketing is an interactive approach to marketing, which uses the individually
addressable marketing media and channels (such as mail, telephone and the sales force): to extend
help to a company's target audience; to stimulate their demand; and to stay close to them by
recording and keeping an electronic database memory of the customer, prospect and all commercial
contacts, to help improve all future contacts and to ensure more realistic of all marketing."

GROWTH AND EVOLUTION

The growth of database marketing is driven by a number of environmental issues. As per my view , the
MURAS Company classified these issues into four main categories:

1. Changing role of direct marketing

  The move to relationship marketing for competitive advantage.
 The decline in the effectiveness of traditional media.
 The overcrowding and myopia of existing sales channels.
2. Changing cost structures
 The decline in electronic processing costs.
 The increase in marketing costs.
3. Changing technology
 The advent of new methods of shopping and paying.
 The development of economical methods for differentiating customer communication.
4. Changing market conditions
 The desire to measure the impact of marketing efforts.
 The fragmentation of consumer and business markets.

4 P’s OF MARKETING

The Four P’s of Marketing (also known as “The Marketing Mix”) for all industries, including Broadway, are as
follows:
1.Product
2.Price
3.Place
4. Promotion

The definitions of each are:

1. Product – The product aspects of marketing deal with the specifications of the actual goods or services,
plus how it relates to the end users needs and wants. The range of a product normally includes supporting
elements such as warranties, guarantees, and support.

2. Pricing -This refers to the process of setting a price for a product, together with discounts. The price need
not be monetary; it can plainly be what is exchanged for the product or services, e.g. time, energy, or
attention. Methods of setting prices optimally are in the domain of pricing art

3. Placement – (or distribution ): refers to how the product gets to the buyer; for instance, point-of-sale
assignment or retailing. This third P has furthermore at times been called Place, referring to the channel by
which a product or service is sold (e.g. online vs. retail), which geographic region or industry, to which
division (young adults, families, business citizens), etc. also referring to how the surroundings in which the
product is sold in can influence sales.

4. Promotion – This includes advertising, sales promotion, including promotional education, publicity, and
individual selling. Branding refers to the assorted strategies of promoting the product, brand, or company.

PRODUCTS USED
High - quality, aircraft engine, industrial gas turbine, airframe, and other applications, including the world's
largest diameter investment cast components. The world's largest diameter nickel-based super alloy,
titanium, and stainless steel components, as well as a wide range of medium and small castings; stationary
vanes and rotating blades for high-performance turbine engines; and aluminum castings for aerospace and
other applications.

PRICING STRATEGY
Due to the costs and labor with the molds, investment castings generally have higher costs than forged parts
or sand and permanent mold casting methods. However, they make up for the higher cost through the
reduction of machining achieved through as-cast near-net-shape tolerances. One example of this is
innovations in automotive rocker arms, which can be cast with virtually no machining necessary. Many parts
that require milling, turning, drilling and grinding to finish can be investment cast with only 0.020-0.030
finish stock.

attending the most transparent professional practices. They maintain strict confidentiality in their work.
They have extensive and proven records in sustained search and selection process. They carry out
customized search procedure as per mutually agreed specifications.

PROMOTION STRATEGY

The answer is that promotions can be promoted much like any other product or service. In-store signage,
employee word-of-mouth, social media, your business’ website, email contact, flyers, paper mailers, articles
in local publications, press releases, commercials and telephone contact may all be effective in letting your
customers and prospective customers know about your sales promotion. Visibility is key, but be sure to
account for the marketing cost of promoting your promotion (otherwise, you might end up spending more
money on advertising than you’ll make back through increased sales). For this reason, it may be most
beneficial to focus your promotional strategies on less-expensive—though still tightly focused—channels.
For example, emails to interested parties have a very high rate of return.

ADVANCES IN DATABASE MARKETING

Today's Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems use the stored data not only for direct
marketing purposes but to manage the complete relationship with individual customer contacts and to
develop more customized product and service offerings. However, a combination of CRM, content
management and business intelligence tools are making delivery of personalized information a reality.
Marketers trained in the use of these tools are able to carry out customer nurturing, which is a tactic that
attempts to communicate with each individual in an organization at the right time, using the right
information to meet that client's need to progress through the process of identifying a problem, learning
options available to resolve it, selecting the right solution, and making the purchasing decision.

DIRECT MARKETING

Direct marketing is a form of advertising which allows businesses and nonprofit organizations to
communicate directly to customers through a variety of media including cell phone text messaging, email,
websites, online adverts, database marketing fliers, catalog distribution, promotional letters and targeted
television, newspaper and magazine advertisements as well as outdoor advertising. Among practitioners, it is
also known as direct response.
Direct marketing focuses on the customer, data ,and testing. Hence, besides the actual communication, a
direct marketing campaign will incorporate actionable segments and use pre- and post-campaign analytics to
measure results. 
3.3 FINANCE

MEANING

Finance is the science that describes the management, creation and study of money, banking, credit,
investments, assets and liabilities. Finance consists of financial systems, which include the public, private
and government spaces, and the study of finance and financial instruments, which can relate to countless
assets and liabilities.

FEATURES OF FINANCE

Channelizing Funds: It is well established fact that financial system is a critical element of any economy.
Financial sector and financial markets perform the essential function of channeling funds from people who have
saved surplus funds by spending less than their income to people who have a shortage of investible funds
because their plans to spend exceed their income.

Acquisition, Allocation & Utilization of Funds: Finance as a function deals with acquisition, allocation and
utilization of funds. A business must ensure that adequate funds are available from the right sources at the right
cost at the right time. It needs to decide the mode of raising fund, whether it is to be through the issue of
securities or lending from the bank. Once funds are acquired the funds have to be allocated to various projects
and services and finally the objective of the business is to earn profits which on a very large extent depend upon
how effectively and efficiently allocated funds are utilized. Proper utilization of funds is based on sound
investment decisions, proper control and asset management policies and efficient management of working
capital.

Maximization of Shareholder’s Wealth: The objective of any business is to maximize and create wealth for the
investors, which is measured by the price of the share of the company. The price of the share of any company is
a function of its present and expected future earnings. Finance helps in defining policies and ways to maximize
the earnings.
Financial Management: Maximization of economic welfare of its owners is the accepted financial objective of the
firm. Hence, the objectives of finance are to ensure adequate and regular supply of funds to the business and
provide a fair rate of return to the suppliers of capital. Finance helps by ensuring efficient utilization of capital and
available resources according to the principles of profitability, liquidity and safety. It provides a definite system
for internal investment, financing and internal controls. And finally attempts to minimize cost of capital by
developing a sound and economical combination of corporate securities.

NATURE OF FINANCE

The finance function is the process of acquiring and utilizing funds of a business. Finance functions are
related to overall management of an organization.
Finance function is concerned with the policy decisions such as like of business, size of firm, type of
equipment used, use of debt, liquidity position. These policy decisions determine the size of the profitability
and riskiness of the business of the firm. Prof. K.M. Upadhyay has outlined the nature of finance function as
follows:
i) In most of the organizations, financial operations are centralized. This results in economies
ii) Finance functions are performed in all business firms, irrespective of their sizes / legal forms of
organization.
iii) They contribute to the survival and growth of the firm.
iv) Finance function is primarily involved with the data analysis for use in decision making.
v) Finance functions are concerned with the basic business activities of a firm, in addition to external
environmental factors which affect basic business activities, namely, production and marketing.
vi) Finance functions comprise control functions also.
vii) The central focus of finance function is valuation of the firm.

PROCESS OF INVESTMENT CASTINGS
 Produce master pattern
 Mould making
 Injection (produce wax pattern)
 Assemble wax pattern
 Shelling process / Investment
 De-wax
 Burnout & pre-heating
 Pouring
 Fettlings

Produce master pattern : In this step, the mould maker creates an original pattern from

wax , clay, wood , plastic etc.

Mould making : Mould is also known as a master die is made of the master pattern may be of the low
melting point metal , steel , or wood .

Injection(produce wax pattern) : Wax patterns may be produced in of the two ways :
Process 1- Wax is poured into mould until even coating usually about 3 mm.
Process 2- Filling entire mould with molten wax and let it cool until thickness.

Assemble wax pattern : Then the wax is removed from the mould. Multiple wax pattern may be created
and then assembled into one complex pattern.
Shelling process / Investment : Ceramic mould , also known as investment is produced by 3 repeating steps
: Coating , Stuccoing , Hardening
Coating- Dipping the cluster into re-factory material and letting any excess drain off .
Stuccoing- This is nothing but the plaster made from Portland cement and sand. The cluster is stuccoed with
coarse ceramic particle by dipping it into a fluidisied bed.
Hardening- Then the coating is allowed to harden.

De-wax: The investment is then allowed to completely dry, which can take 16 to 48 hours, and can be dried
applying a vacuum or minimizing the environmental humidity.

Burnout & pre-heating: The mould is subjected to burn out, which heat the mould between 870 degree
Celsius and 1095 degree Celsius to remove any moisture and residual wax.

Pouring: The investment mould is placed upwards into a tub filled with sand.

Fettlings : The shell is hammered, media blasted, vibrated, water-jected, or chemically dissolved
( sometimes with liquid nitrogen to release the casting).

PROCESS CAPABILITY
a. Castings in the weight range of 10gms to 150kgs
b. Thin walled casting….as low as 2mm ie; less than 50 pcs.
c. Near net shaped castings, eliminating or substantially reducing the need for expensive machining
operations.
d. Close dimensional tolerances.
e. Very good surface finishing.
f. Castings totally free from blow holes.
g. Castings of radiographic quality, meeting the demand of aerospace and nuclear power industries.

ADVANTAGES OF INVESTMENT CASTINGS

Chapter 4: Analysis and
Interpretation
Finance- As a Finance enthusiast, I interned as Finance trainee for my summer internship programme at
Nestle India limited. For the 4 week training I was part of the Finance Department of the company. Finance
department is under the direct control of Mr. Pankaj Jaiswal(Branch Controller) below him is Mr. Abhishek
Dave (Asst. Branch Controller). Mr. Abhishek and Mr. Atul Upadhyay were my Supervisor and guide in the
organisation.
The finance department is responsible for maintaining for balancing and maintaining the short and the long
term cashflow of the company in accordance with the various retailers of the company, The department
work towards the working capital optimisation through ever increasing channel finance penetration and
faster cash conversion cycle, It focuses on leveraging technology through various softwares by making sure
of the efficiency in scheme utilisation, tracking the distribution network, bad goods control, strengthening
route to market operations, and precision in The trade spend accruals.
During the course of my virtual internship I learnt a lot about the working of the finance department of the
company I learned about the various software that Muras Techno Casts uses to manage their supply chain
operations and procurement like the requirement of MS excel and S Distribution Software is of utmost
importance in a huge multinational company like Muras Techno Casts
The importance of that software is that
• It helps in inventory management
• Automated Claims
• Visibility of Secondary Sales
• Budgetary Control
• White-Collar Productivity
• Standardized Processes
• Secondary Sales by Channel
• Promotion Evaluation
• Automated Replenishment
• Must sell SKU’s by channel
• Enhanced Sales Productivity
So my work at the company was to assist my guide in calculation of various finances. For that purpose every
working was supposed to be done on excel. I also had to calculate the payout for every Customer to check
whether they qualified for the incentive of the particular programme.
each programme had their own criteria for the payout, it also mentioned the details about the planogram
adherence for every program and how the the company products are meant to be sold and made according to
the needs and wants of the customer . My working was based on the finances of every quarter of the year
2019 and 2020 . I had to calculate the percentage total of every customer and making sure that there were no
discrepancies in the calculation. The purpose of the working was to calculate the performance of every
customer and worker .
Chapter 5:SWOT
Analysis
STRENGTHS:
 Due to industrial growth, Precision Castparts Companies (PCC) holds strong prospects for
growth.
 The annual growth rate of revenue of company is about 13.94%.
 The strategic acquisitions of different markets enhances the strength of the company.
 PCC puts the great efforts in R&D activities to meet standard of industries.
 PCC has acquired 362 positions in unit of fortune 500 in the year 2009.
 PCC holds fair share markets in Europe, Asia and US.

WEAKNESS:
 PCC also exhibits decrease in market share.
 Due to economic recession all over the world, acquisitions become more expensive and also
increase in risk involved in it.
 PCC depends on limited number of available customers for its revenues.
 Due to world-wide economic downfall, company also has to face reduction in number of
orders from industries.

OPPORTUNITIES:
 Due to increase in prices of fuel, demand for industrial parts for alternative transportation also
increases.
 PCC can explore more opportunities with emerging market such as India and China.
 With increase in defense budget in US, more orders are available for company for defense
industry.

THREATS:
 Reduced growth in markets of Europe and US also influence the company revenues
 The unstable prices of raw materials also effect the production of PCC.

Recommendations
 As this is the Investment Casting Company, I observed and found only about the
“DEFORMATION“ during production process.
Investment castings are easy to be deformed during production process. We can divide the deformation into
self micro-deformation, flaring deformation and warping deformation.

*Self micro-deformation: gray iron investment castings are most easy to trace the deformation in alloy
materials. Grey iron castings shake out after cleaning, existing residual stress is mainly residual thermal
stress. In addition to make castings cold cracked, the residual stress is also the main reason causing self
micro-deformation. Even if no more than yield strength of material, but in the role of residual stress, gray
iron castings will slowly produce micro-plastic deformation by time flies.

*Flaring deformation: Forming reason is that sand core or sand mould in the opening size hinders the
contraction of investment castings, thus free structural part of castings produce plastic deformation, resulting
in a flaring deformation defect.

*Warping deformation: Investment castings after sand removal occurred warping deformation at one end,
both ends and even outer edges. Therefore the middle of investment castings was dent, leading to uneven
castings. We call such deformation as warping deformation. Its forming reason is because when the casting
is cooling, the wall thickness of investment castings is uneven and for temperature difference, so each part
of the casting cooling speed is different, producing uneven plastic deformation. Then warping deformation is
formed.

SUGGESTIONS TO SOLVE INVESTMENT CASTING DEFORMATION:

1. Before inject wax into mould, put the mould in wax injection room to keep the mould temperature is the
same as that of wax injection room. After that we start to do wax injection.

2. Test the wax pattern ourselves after wax patterns are finished to check whether there is any problem. Wax
pattern should be unified laid and avoid overlapping and dangling.

CONCLUSION

Internship was started with the company’s vision, mission. Internship was successfully completed
with the observation and the learning activities of human resources, marketing, and finance.
This internship program was very useful to know about the company and thanks for my guides
who have supported me to do this internship successfully.
