SWOT Analysis at glance


Strength
Excellent Customer Service: They provide supreme engineering resources and
products worldwide to their clients at a reasonable cost and build a robust supply
chain that ensures eternal availability of these resources on time, every time. They
have customers at the centre of what they do and strive to maximize customer
enrichment. The industries they cater to include Elevators for commercial &
household application and Material Handling Equipment used for Construction,
Mining and Material Movement on Ports.

Weakness
Limited Creativity: Manufacturing technology completely limits creativity due to
the abundance of automation/machinery and lack of employees within the production
facility. Employees are able to brainstorm while counteracting a particular problem,
while machinery is only optimized to do as it is told, even if there are issues.

Opportunities 
Predictive Analytics in Manufacturing: Taking their manufacturing intelligence and
use it in ways that will predict the future so that decisions and actions are taken before
problems emerge, before risk events happen and before opportunities are squandered.
This includes embedded analytics; enabling predictive technologies; and rapid
response capabilities.

Threats
Raw Material Prices:
Volatility in global markets can have significant consequences for manufacturing
organizations. From unexpected fluctuations in raw material prices to rising energy
costs, such surprises can destabilize markets and supply chains, making it difficult for
manufacturers to continue delivering positive financial results.The pandemic has been
a painfully clear example of this. Lockdowns led to closed ports, disrupted transport,
raw materials not processed, and other disruptions which all led to rising commodities
prices and higher production costs.

PESTEL Analysis at a glance

Political factors:
 Size of Government Budgets
Both Local Governments and National Government – The government at both
national level and local levels are running deficit budgets which is boosting growth in
the short term but may lead to increase in inflation over medium term. The bond
rating of national government is investment grade.

Economic factors:
 Employment Rate
If the employment rate is high then it will impact Transformation OWM strategies in
two ways – it will provide enough customers for Transformation OWM products, and
secondly it will make it expensive for Transformation OWM to hire talented &
skillful employees.

Internship Report on Oneworld Manufacturing, Bengaluru

Social factors
 Attitude towards Health & Safety
The attitude towards health and safety is often reflected in the quality of the products
and cost structures of manufacturing processes. OWM has stringent norms for health
and safety norms so in emerging economies it may have to compete with players who
don’t have high-cost structures that of OWM.

Technological factors
 Level of Acceptance of Technology in the Society 
OWM has to figure out the level of technology acceptance in the society before
launching new products. Often companies enter the arena without requisite
infrastructure to support the technology oriented model.

Environmental factors
 Influence and Effectiveness of Environmental Agencies 
The role of environment standards enforcement agencies is critical in safeguarding
norms. But often in emerging countries these agencies delay the process as a tactic to
extract bribes. OWM should be aware of presence of such practices in a country.

Legal factors
 Consumer Protection Laws - OWM needs to know what are the consumer laws,
what is the rate of enforcement, what is the attitude of authorities towards
consumer protection laws, and what is the role activist groups in enforcement of
consumer protection laws.

To be open, fair, honest and consistent in our dealings with all stakeholders

 INNOVATION
To nurture creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to establish industry benchmarks
and bring positive change in work environment

 VELOCITY
To act with speed and focused attention towards our objectives

 CUSTOMER CENTRICITY
To have customers at the centre of what we do and strive to maximize customer

OneWorld Manufacturing Facility:

 Production
Automated Production Line for Hybrid Counterweights
Production is the process of making or manufacturing goods and products from raw
materials or components. In other words, production takes inputs and uses them to
create an output which is fit for consumption – a good or product which has value to
an end-user or customer.

 Packing & Dispatch


Appealing and Robust Product Packaging
Dispatch generally means that the sender has packed and handed over the order to the
delivery agent / company and the delivery company has further sent the order for
processing like packaging, labeling, invoice and arranging all the documents required
for shipping.

 Engineering Assembly
Complex Assemblies for Vertical Mobility Industry
Assembly parts must be standardised. Also parts of the same type must be subject to
the same specifications, i.e. uniform parts quality must be ensured. A finished item

Page | 7
M S Ramaiah College of Arts Science and Commerce.
Internship Report on Oneworld Manufacturing, Bengaluru

can be produced by progressively adding parts to an assembly. Breaking an assembly


task into a number of smaller tasks results in speeding the assembly process and
improved quality since each task has a relatively limited content, skill can be
developed in a short time.

 Quality Assurance
Quality Systems that ensure Complete Traceability
Quality assurance establishes and maintains set requirements for developing or
manufacturing reliable products. A quality assurance system is meant to increase
customer confidence and a company's credibility, while also improving work
processes and efficiency, and it enables a company to better compete with others.
Quality assurance helps a company create products and services that meet the needs,
expectations and requirements of customers. It yields high-quality product offerings
that build trust and loyalty with customers. The standards and procedures defined by a
quality assurance program help prevent product defects before they arise.

 Marketing
To have customers at the centre of what we do and strive to maximize customer
enrichment
Marketing refers to activities a company undertakes to promote the buying or selling
of a product or service. Marketing includes advertising, selling, and delivering
products to consumers or other businesses. Some marketing is done by affiliates on
behalf of a company. Professionals who work in a corporation's marketing and
promotion departments seek to get the attention of key potential audiences through
advertising. Promotions are targeted to certain audiences and may involve celebrity
endorsements, catchy phrases or slogans, memorable packaging or graphic designs
and overall media exposure.

PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED:
1. Elevator Counter Weights
In traction (non-hydraulic) elevators, a heavy counterweight counterbalances the
load of the elevator carriage, so the motor lifts much less of the carriage's weight
(specifically, the counterweight is the weight of the carriage plus 40-50% of its
rated capacity).
Page | 8
M S Ramaiah College of Arts Science and Commerce.
Internship Report on Oneworld Manufacturing, Bengaluru

2. Construction Equipment Counter Weights


Excavators' heavy-duty design requires counterbalancing the weight of the
excavated earth with a heavy counterweight. During the design phase of an
excavator counterweight, possible dangers should be anticipated to guarantee the
safe performance of the entire machine.

3. Material Handling Equipment


Many types of equipment require balancing or counterweights to allow the system
work properly , counterweights can be simple steel plates or they can be designed
with complex geometric because of the compartments in which they need to be
placed .

4. Ground Engagement Equipment


Ground engaging tools are high wear resistant metal components that come in
direct contact with the ground during construction and excavation activities

5. Customized Application
Software that is specially developed for specific organisation or other user . As
such it can be contrasted with the use of software packages developed for the mass
market

Internship Report on Oneworld Manufacturing, Bengaluru

During my internship, I got a chance to work in the department to know about how a
manufacturing company develops. The term I spent at OMW was more engaged with
learning part through assignments. All my experience helped me realize parts like
grouping work, work environment, peering support, carried out in the organization.
Thus, the internship duration provided me with the opportunity to broaden my
knowledge, acknowledge my strengths/weakness that would be more helpful to shape
up my career in the future. I was put into teams of Field Marketing domains and
Production Management domain. Under these domains:

 To execute field marketing campaigns effectively, businesses often build a


dedicated field marketing organization within their company. These groups are
tasked with development and execution of all field marketing campaigns.
Field marketing organizations often divide their operating areas into territories,
with regional managers overseeing large territories and assigning team leaders for
each smaller locale. While territory management is more important for companies
that distribute nationwide, even smaller brands often manage their promotion
schedules by location.

I was working under a Field Manager and my job was to reach to smaller clients
and provide them information about the products we manufacture, a field manager
is basically responsible for hiring, training, and directing their field teams, as well
as ensuring field marketing campaigns achieve their intended goals. While field
marketing managers often work with senior marketing executives to determine
what these objectives will be, field marketing managers design specific campaigns
and ensure they are executed as effectively and efficiently as possible. Field
marketing managers are also responsible for reporting on these initiatives to senior
management.

Field marketing is not only valuable as a companion to traditional marketing


initiatives, but it also offers companies something unique: agility. Planning and
executing extensive marketing campaigns takes time. But after months of
planning, what happens if something goes wrong or there’s an opportunity to
improve? Traditionally, those chances are lost as companies have to wait until a
campaign is finished to analyse the results. When executed correctly, field

marketing breaks that mould, allowing companies to collect and analyse data
about their campaigns far faster, making for more agile and effective marketing.

CHAPTER 4
ANALYSIS
SWOT Analysis
SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Identifying
your construction firm’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats could mean
the difference between your company’s success and failure. SWOT analysis is a
strategic planning and strategic management technique used to help a person or
organization identify Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats related
to business competition or project planning. It is sometimes called situational
assessment or situational analysis. This technique is designed for use in the
preliminary stages of decision-making processes and can be used as a tool for
evaluation of the strategic position of organizations of many kinds (for-profit
enterprises, local and national governments, NGOs, etc.) SWOT analysis has become
one of the most useful tools in the development of business and industry, as a tool in
making decisions to be good and right and one of the ways to run new programs on
method and products produced by industry as its business, Process SWOT analysis
requires an internal survey of strengths, weaknesses and external threats and
opportunities surveys. the external part has a significant impact. on a business and
industry organization. economic, political, and even life-changing institutions. The
shift from industrial society to information society and from a manufacturing-oriented
economy to service orientation has had a significant impact on consumer demand.
Business world in industry and other business world both manufacture and service. As
an initiator and innovator in designing future developments in his business. Innovative
strategies are always developed to ensure that the business grows and meets the needs
of its customers. As primary and secondary need. The SWOT analysis method is the
right tool for finding problems from four different sides, where the application is how
the power is able to take advantage of an existing opportunity, then how to overcome
the weaknesses that prevent profits, then how the power is able to deal with the
existing threats, and finally is how to overcome weaknesses that can make threats real
or create a new threat. Interaction between the 4 factors, then make this analysis
provides ease to realize the vision and mission of a company organization.

Strengths:

Page | 14
M S Ramaiah College of Arts Science and Commerce.
Internship Report on Oneworld Manufacturing, Bengaluru

The strengths of the manufacturing industry are that it is relatively stable. Although
the demand for manufacturing tends to fluctuate with the ups and downs of the
economy, it is characterised by regular periods of recovery following any downturns.
Moreover, manufacturing has become highly efficient over the last century, with the
ability to maximise both the productivity of the workers and machines to maximise
profits.
 Automation of activities brought consistency of quality to One World
Manufacturing Company products and has enabled the company to scale up and
scale down based on the demand conditions in the market
 Successful track record of developing new products – product innovation.
 Strong Brand Portfolio – Over the years One World Manufacturing Company has
invested in building a strong brand portfolio. This brand portfolio can be
extremely useful if the organization wants to expand into new product categories.
 Strong Free Cash Flow – One World Manufacturing Company has strong free
cash flows that provide resources in the hand of the company to expand into new
projects.
 Highly skilled workforce through successful training and learning programs. One
World Manufacturing Company is investing huge resources in training and
development of its employees resulting in a workforce that is not only highly
skilled but also motivated to achieve more.
 High level of customer satisfaction – the company with its dedicated customer
relationship management department has able to achieve a high level of customer
satisfaction among present customers and good brand equity among the potential
customers.
 Good Returns on Capital Expenditure – One World Manufacturing Company is
relatively successful at execution of new projects and generated good returns on
capital expenditure by building new revenue streams.
 Superb Performance in New Markets – One World Manufacturing Company has
built expertise at entering new markets and making success of them. The
expansion has helped the organization to build new revenue stream and diversify
the economic cycle risk in the markets it operates in.

Internship Report on Oneworld Manufacturing, Bengaluru

Weaknesses:
A weakness of the manufacturing industry is that much of it is built on the production
of non-essential goods. This means that a severe downturn in the economy can have a
crippling effect on it. Another weakness is that it is a mature industry. This means that
there is heavy competition and little room for growth. As a result, the manufacturing
industry can be a cash cow for those who are already in it but may be unattractive to
new entrants.
 Not very good at product demand forecasting leading to higher rate of missed
opportunities compare to its competitors. One of the reasons why the days
inventory is high compare to its competitors is that One World Manufacturing
Company is not very good at demand forecasting thus end up keeping higher
inventory both in-house and in channel.
 High attrition rate in work force – compare to other organizations in the industry
One World Manufacturing Company has a higher attrition rate and have to spend
a lot more compare to its competitors on training and development of its
employees.
 Not highly successful at integrating firms with different work culture. As
mentioned earlier even though One World Manufacturing Company is successful
at integrating small companies it has its share of failure to merge firms that have
different work culture.
 The marketing of the products left a lot to be desired. Even though the product is a
success in terms of sale but its positioning and unique selling proposition is not
clearly defined which can lead to the attacks in this segment from the competitors.
 Limited success outside core business – Even though One World One World
Manufacturing Company is one of the leading producers in its industry it has
faced challenges in moving to other product segments with its present culture.
 Days inventory is high compare to the competitors – making the company raise
more capital to invest in the channel. This can impact the long term growth of One
World Manufacturing Company
 There are gaps in the product range sold by the company. This lack of choice can
give a new competitor a foothold in the market.
• Inexperienced Workers
• Resistance to New Construction Methods and Technology

Page | 16

Internship Report on Oneworld Manufacturing, Bengaluru

Opportunities:
Opportunities in the manufacturing industry are in the technology and biotechnology
areas. These are growing market segments with higher profit margins. Additionally,
they are knowledge-dependent market segments that require highly specialised
workers, which makes it difficult for low wage countries to compete in this market
segment, thereby providing an edge to more industrialised countries.
 The new taxation policy can significantly impact the way of doing business and
can open new opportunity for established players such as One World
Manufacturing Company to increase its profitability.
 Stable free cash flow provides opportunities to invest in adjacent product
segments. With more cash in bank the company can invest in new technologies as
well as in new products segments. This should open a window of opportunity for
One World Manufacturing Company in other product categories.
 The market development will lead to dilution of competitor’s advantage and
enable One World Manufacturing Company to increase its competitiveness
compare to the other competitors.
 Economic uptick and increase in customer spending, after years of recession and
slow growth rate in the industry, is an opportunity for One World Manufacturing
Company to capture new customers and increase its market share.
 Decreasing cost of transportation because of lower shipping prices can also bring
down the cost of One World Manufacturing Company’s products thus providing
an opportunity to the company - either to boost its profitability or pass on the
benefits to the customers to gain market share.
 Opening up of new markets because of government agreement – the adoption of
new technology standard and government free trade agreement has provided One
World Manufacturing Company an opportunity to enter a new emerging market.
 The new technology provides an opportunity to One World Manufacturing
Company to practices differentiated pricing strategy in the new market. It will
enable the firm to maintain its loyal customers with great service and lure new
customers through other value oriented propositions.
• Possibilities of Working on Future Projects
• Knowledge of Developing Trends

Page | 17

Internship Report on Oneworld Manufacturing, Bengaluru

Threats:
The largest threats to the manufacturing industry in developed nations are from low
wage countries. The low wages of these countries have made it impossible for many
businesses in developed nations to compete, requiring them to either close or move
overseas to find cheap labour. Increasingly, India is an even bigger threat to the
manufacturing industry, with its ability to supply highly educated workers at low
wages to fill roles in the high-tech manufacturing market segment.
 Rising raw material can pose a threat to the One World Manufacturing Company
profitability.
 The company can face lawsuits in various markets given - different laws and
continuous fluctuations regarding product standards in those markets.
 Shortage of skilled workforce in certain global market represents a threat to steady
growth of profits for One World Manufacturing Company   in those markets.
 Growing strengths of local distributors also presents a threat in some markets as
the competition is paying higher margins to the local distributors.
 No regular supply of innovative products – Over the years the company has
developed numerous products but those are often response to the development by
other players. Secondly the supply of new products is not regular thus leading to
high and low swings in the sales number over period of time.
• Inclement Weather
• Quarantine
• Economic Factors

PESTEL analysis:
A PESTEL analysis studies the key external factors (Political, Economic,
Sociological, Technological, Legal and Environmental) that influence an
organization. It can be used in a range of different scenarios, and can guide people
professionals and senior managers in strategic decision-making.

Political factors:
 Changing policies
Frequent changes in government policies harm business performance by increasing
environmental uncertainty. It is important for OWM, to study the current trends in the

Page | 18
M S Ramaiah College of Arts Science and Commerce.
Internship Report on Oneworld Manufacturing, Bengaluru

country's political scenario as changes in government may alter the government's


priorities towards the development of different industries.

 Political stability
High political stability provides a stable and friendly business environment with
predictable market growth trends. However, when there is political chaos, it deters the
investors and harms the stakeholders' trust in economic and consequent organizational
performance.

Economic factors
 Employment Rate
If the employment rate is high then it will impact OWM strategies in two ways – it
will provide enough customers for OWM products, and secondly it will make it
expensive for OWM to hire talented & skilful employees.

 Demand Shifts from Goods Economy to Service Economy


The share of services in the economy is constantly increasing compare to the share of
manufacturing, goods, and agriculture sector.
 Economic/business cycle stage
The economic development of a country directly influences organizational
performance. Growing economies offer wide-ranging growth opportunities to the
OWM. Similarly, it is important to understand the industry life cycle stage. Entering
in mature industries can be more challenging due to market saturation than industries
at the growth stage.

 Inflation/employment/interest/exchange rates
The GDP growth rate will determine the OWM ability to pursue its long-term growth
strategies. High GDP also signals the consumers’ ability to spend more on offered
products. High unemployment signals the availability of surplus labour at
comparatively lower wages. Operating in such a market can lower the production cost
of OWM. The organization should also carefully consider the interest rate and its
influence on borrowing ability and attitude towards investment. The high interest rate

Page | 19
M S Ramaiah College of Arts Science and Commerce.
Internship Report on Oneworld Manufacturing, Bengaluru

will encourage the attitude towards investment and increase growth opportunities for
OWM.

 GDP Trend & Rate of Economic Growth


The higher GDP growth rate signals growing demand in the economy. OWM can
leverage this trend by expanding its product range and targeting new customers. One
way to start is by closely mapping the changes in consumer buying behaviour and
emerging value proposition.

Social factors:
 Societal Norms and Hierarchy
What sort of hierarchy and norms are acceptable in society also influence the types
and level of consumption in a society. In highly hierarchical societies the power of
decision making often reside at the top
 Attitude towards Leisure
OWM should conduct ethnographic research to understand both attitude towards
leisure activities and choice of leisure activities. Experience economy is one of the
fastest growing segments both among millennials and among baby-boomers.

 Education Level in Society


Education level of the society impacts both the quality of jobs and level of income.
High level of education often results in better jobs, higher income and higher
spending on complex and aspirational products.

 Spending patterns and behaviour


The consumers’ spending patterns are influenced by their purchasing power of
money. Studying and forecasting the consumers’ purchasing power based on relevant
economic indicators is important to analyse the customers’ interests and spending
patterns. In some societies, consuming the offered product is considered a status
symbol, while some people use the same products for functional aspects. OWM
should invest time on understanding the consumption motivations and social trends
that define the consumption behaviour. OWM should also attempt to understand the
degree of consumer ethnocentrism and consider the country-of-origin effect to

Page | 20
M S Ramaiah College of Arts Science and Commerce.
Internship Report on Oneworld Manufacturing, Bengaluru

determine local consumers’ evaluation of foreign products. Lastly, OWM should


study the consumers’ leisure interests and should focus more on enhancing the
customer experience if customers prefer experiential products over traditional product
offerings.

Technological factors:
 E-Commerce & Related Infrastructure Development
As E-Commerce is critical for OWM business model. It should evaluate the e-
commerce infrastructure, technology infrastructure etc before entering a new market.
 Likelihood of Technology Disruption
If the country is hub of technology companies then there is a high chance of
technology disruption among various industries. OWM has to assess whether it can
live with the fast pace of technology disruption in its industry.

 Level of Acceptance of Technology in the Society


OWM has to figure out the level of technology acceptance in the society before
launching new products. Often companies enter the arena without requisite
infrastructure to support the technology-oriented model.

 Acceptance of Mobile Payments and Fintech Services


One of the areas where most manufacturing companies are lacking behind is Mobile
Payments. OWM should assess what are preferred choice of mobile payments in local
economy and chose the business model based on it.

 Social media marketing


The development of information and communication technologies has led towards the
adoption of innovative marketing techniques to enhance collaboration with customers.
Use of social media has become common in a modern business environment . can
leverage the opportunities offered by social media marketing to improve business
performance. Technological trends can be used to start creative social media
campaigns for developing online brand communities.

Environmental factors:
 Recycling and waste management
The growing environmental pollution coupled with technological advancement has
compelled business organizations to adopt innovative recycling and waste
management practices. In some countries, recycling has almost become a business
norm. Moreover, adopting efficient waste management practices in organizational
units that are located in or near urban areas is highly crucial for OWM. Many
