Die Design

Ashley Alteams has the most advanced and dedicated design team for the sole purpose of providing
innovative support to its customers. The team uses the latest software such as PRO/E WF5, Solid Works,
ACAD 2011 and Magma Analysis for die design and development activities.

Die Simulation Analysis

Ashley Alteams offers complete computer simulation analysis – MAGMA solidification and flow
analysis to its customers, in order to optimize their die design and to enhance their die life performance.

Ashley Alteams’ design team coordinates with its customers in order to resolve castability issues (machining
stock, ejector pin design, cored hole design, draft angle, etc.)

Melting

7
 Ashley Alteams uses varieties of aluminium alloys based on its customer’s product requirements. The
company strongly believes in and follows eco-friendly procedures, and hence uses LPG fired furnaces, which
mean more efficiency and no pollution.

Degassing

Ashley Alteams uses Nitrogen base degassing to improve the casting strength and reduce porosity
levels which is a mandatory requirement for most of the automotive parts.

High Pressure Die Casting

Ashley Alteams' state-of-the-art HPDC machines are based on European technology that are specially
suited for applications where a large quantity of small to large sized parts are needed with good detail and
surface quality and with dimensional accuracy where the leak tightness is an important requirement for the cast
part. The company’s die-cast machine sizes range from 420T – 2000T locking force with closed loop shot
monitoring system.

Vacuum Technology

High pressure die-castings usually contain gas porosity, mainly due to the entrapment of air or gas in
the melt during the very high injection speed of the molten metal into the cavity. Ashley Alteams uses vacuum
technology to improve die filling and reduce porosity resulting in improved strength of castings and production
of thin walled castings.

 Positioned for continued growth Alteams

Alteams Group has just opened a new factory in Poland that will be the key to driving its
European business to new levels. Peter Mercer reports.

IN June of this year Alteams, the specialist in cast aluminium components for the communications
networks and mechatronics sectors, officially opened its new manufacturing plant in Poland. Work on the
10,000m2 plant, at Lebork, in the Pomeranian region, began in 2013 and the first customer delivery was made
earlier this year. All the essential processes for aluminium castings production are in place, including high-
pressure die-casting, CNC, surface treatment, assembly and supply change management. Currently there are 80
employees at the plant and by the end of 2014 there will be over 100. Alteams plans to build sales from the
plant to some €30m with 300 employees and expand the working area to 10,000m2 .

“The strategy behind our decision to build a factory in Poland was to improve our competitiveness in
cost, flexibility and time to market as a local supplier of pressure die cast components to the European
market,” explains Alteams Poland’s President Matti Huttunen. “Since 2002 Alteams has had manufacturing
operations in China and since 2007 in India to serve our global customers but since those customers are indeed
global in their operations, many are also major players in the European market. In the telecoms sector there is a
fast growing demand for components for the next generation of network infrastructure and in mechatronics the
pressure to deliver much better energy efficiency is also driving growth. The amount of all wireless
applications globally is forecasted to reach 50 billion by 2020.

“Our Lębork factory will therefore play a key role in our growth strategy for our European business. It
will be smaller than our Chinese plant but applies the same advanced technologies, more automation and will
have a complete set of services. Poland is close to many of our key customers’ operations in central and
eastern Europe and we can serve them from Lębork within 48 hours. The plant has good logistic connections,
including also the seaport of Gdynia and the international airport at Gdansk. Poland was also an attractive
investment choice because of its stable political and economic environment and the rapid growth of its
economy.

“Initially the plant will supply key customers in Europe in the communications networks sector and go
on to supply mechatronics customers in the course of next year.”

Two business sectors

Alteams Oy was established in Finland in 2002 through the merger of Laihian Metalli and Jyskan
Metalli and the group later acquired the Swedish Stilexo, but the experience of its predecessor companies in
casting goes all the way back to the 1940s. Today the company is one of the biggest light metal foundries in
Europe with some 1500 employees and a turnover of around €100 million. Its core business is the
manufacturing of cast aluminium components for communications networks and mechatronics as well as
related services such as design of castings and tooling and further processing of castings into assemblyready
components. Globally, Alteams is the largest supplier of cast light metal components to the international
telecom sector.

Key applications for Alteams’ castings in communications networks include microwave radios,
receivers and transmission units, high performance RF units, antenna mounted integrated units and power
supplies. In the mechatronics sector applications cover frequency converters, electrical motors, inverters,
hybrid converters, control units, human/machine interface, HV switch gears and professional LED lighting.
The company’s mechatronics customers are leading international players in power electronics, renewable
energy, energy transmission and distribution, drive technology, industry automation, marine engine and power
generation, e-mobility and clean technology.

The continued success of Alteams’ manufacturing operations is of course supported by the long-term
relationships it has

built up with its key suppliers. Among these are such internationally recognised names as Bühler
Group, suppliers of die-casting machines; Yamazaki Mazak which supplies CNC machinery; Fanuc for
industrial robots and Arrow Engineering Oy which specialises in production monitoring systems.

15
Operations in Asia

With the start-up of its Polish plant Alteams now has a total of six manufacturing sites, including three
in Finland and one each in China and India. The Chinese factory, at Suzhou, is by far the biggest facility in the
group and is the largest volume supplier in China of high-pressure die-castings for the communications
networks sector. The Chinese operation was originally established in 2001 by Stilexo of Sweden and Tecknit
of the USA and became part of the Alteams group in 2002 when Stilexo Industri AB and Stilexo-Tecknit
(China) merged with Alteams Oy. The company built a new factory on the Suzhou site in 2005 which was
further expanded in 2008.

“Our Chinese plant also has a remarkable role to play in our future growth. Global telecoms companies
have to be in China so Alteams has to be there too since components for networks are still the largest part of
our business,” says Matti Huttunen. “But demand from the mechatronics sector is also growing fast and we see
very significant potential there, particularly in industrial control systems, drives and energy saving
applications. In fact, there is an increasingly wide range of industrial segments in which mechatronics are
playing an ever more important role and that provides us with excellent future opportunities.”

All the Alteams factories are supported by the company’s own mould manufacturing facility which is
also located at Suzhou. Designers and manufacturing staff at Alteams Hi-Tech Tools work closely with
production experts at all the company’s foundries to ensure that they have the benefits of the highest quality
tools. Having this in-house mould-manufacturing facility enables the company’s foundries to meet short and
reliable lead times and facilitates the confidential exchange of information on designs and IP rights.

Alteams’ Indian operation Ashley Alteams was established as a joint venture with Ashok Leyland in
2007 to manufacture cast advanced components for communication networks and commercial vehicle engines
initially for Askok Leyland’s own consumption. Ashok Leyland is, in fact, an operation focused on producing
commercial vehicles. Ashley Alteams moved into a new factory and started production there in 2009. An
inhouse surface treatment facility was added the following year.

 PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

Performance assessment one of the principal parts and common actions used to organize
a business delicate performance appraisal use to estimate the performance of the human
resources connected with past, present, and anticipated performance so that appropriate
decision can be made. Performance appraisal is to perform of assessing employee job
performance and providing responses to those recruits about both optimistic and pessimistic
aspects of their performance. Performance dimensions are very vital both for the organization
and the individual; for they are the most important data used in shaping salary increases,
promotions, and, in the case of workers who perform disappointingly, discharge.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

Performance management is a target oriented course of action going towards ensuring

administrative progressions by remaining popular in habitation towards exploit proceedings
& efficiency of employees, teams, and ultimately, organization. It acts as supreme player
accomplishing managerial stratagem that implicates determining and refining the value of
workforce. It includes backup goals and consequent motivation standards so that affiliation
can undoubtedly understand & communicated. At hand association concerning
encouragements & routine.

USES OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

For numerous establishments, primary objective of an assessment system is to improve
individual directorial performance

1. Human resource planning

In assessing a firm’s Human Resources, data have to be presented categorize individuals

that have impending to be encouraged or for any of domestic employee associations. In
course of routine assessment, it may reveal that there is an unsatisfactory amount of
employees who
31
prepare to arrive organization. The procedure can be completed aimed at larger prominence taking place
administration growth. Well-made evaluation methods provide outline of administration’s human
resource powers and faults to sustenance their exertion.

2. Recruitment and selection

Performance assessment ratings may be accommodating in predicting presence of job applicants. A

firm's thriving employees demonstrate assured behaviors when performing key tasks. These data may
endow with a benchmark for evaluating aspirant response obtain during behavioral interviews,
invalidating selection tests, employee ratings may be used as unpredictable against test scores are
compared. Fortitude of the selection test influence woulddepend on the exactness of appraisal results.

3. Training and development

Performance appraisal must point out employees explicit for working out and
development. If dense finds that quantity of first-line supervisors is having involvedness
in administering punitive action, training sessions addressing this problem may be
appropriate. By identifying deficiencies that negatively have an effect on Performance,
Training and Development programs can urbanize those consent individuals to construct
on their strengths and curtail their deficiencies. Appraisal systems do not promise
properly trained and developed employees. However, influential Training and
development needs are particular when appraisal data are available.

4.Career planning and development

Career planning is enduring process in personage set vocation goals and identifies the means to
accomplish them. Career development is a prescribed approach used by organization to ensure that
people with the appropriate credentials experiences is available when needed. Performance appraisal
data indispensable in assessing employee’s strengths and weaknesses and influential the person’s
potential
32
 PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL PROCESS

Performance appraisal is the process of identifying unambiguous performance goals. Appraisal

system possibly cannot successfully serve every anticipated purpose , so management should select the
definite objectives it believes to be most important and pragmatically possible. Besides many
assessment systems fall short because management

expects to large extent from one progression and does not settle on particularly what it wants the
organization to get done the goals.

The continuing cycle endures with launching performance criterion (standards) communicating these
performance opportunities to those concerned. Then the work is performed and the superintendent
appraises the performance. By closing stages of appraisal period, assessor and worker collectively
evaluate work performance and estimate and align with established performance standards. This
assessment helps to settle on how well employees have met these principles, determine reasons for
deficiencies, and along with develops plan to resolve problems. In the end, goals are set for next
evaluation period, and cycle repeats.

Appraiser sees plan and accepts or appraiser discusses plan with the appraisee

Appraisee accepts and submits the paln

Reviewer approves the plan

Plans Submitted

Creating the performance and development plans

2. MID YEAR REVIEW

Mid Year Review is excellent opinion session which takes place involving the appraisee and appraiser
only and takes position through the month of October for the half year wrecked September. It is a
process for reviewing and tracking achievement thus reducing scope for thetime ended supervisors.
The following figure shows the Workflow of the midyear review phase:

35
 Appraisee does self - appraisal and identifies competencies for development

Submission by Appraisee

Appraiser sees plan and gives his comments /feedback

Midyear review gets completed

3.FINAL YEAR REVIEW

The final year review phase will commence with the assessment in which appraisee’s gives the
evaluation of board attainment on each KRA defined in the act plan. The appraiser will appraise the
outcomes of self appraisal and gives his own estimation of realization of the targets in the act plan. For
each KRA's, in addition, he will also give his assessments on the behavioral traits defined in system. After
appraisal by the appraiser, plan will come to appraisee for his information and assessments done for KRAs.

The figure shows the Workflow of the Final year review phase:

36
 Appraisee does self assessement of KRA'S and gives achievement

Appraisee submits the self assessement

Appraiser gives his assessement of KRA's and rates the appraisee on behavioural traits

Plan goes back to appraisee for acceptance / rejection of appraiser's review

Appraisee accepts or requests for discussion with appraiser

After discussion, appraiser and appraisee submits the final review

Final review goes to his final assessement on KRA's and behavioural traits

Reviewer submits the documents

Final review completes and final dcore gets calculated in the system

LITERATURE REVIEW

1.Ellen V Rubin and Amani Edwards (2018) analyzed that efficiency of performance appraisal
programs and connection among the appraisal arrangement and appraisal prejudice complaint. For
fulfillment of any performance appraisal process worker perceptions of the fairness of critiques of
performances is fundamental and from performance appraisal and suitable coaching and voice
possibilities helps in growing of appraisal discrimination complaints. So for better efficiency
appraisal process, the focus will have to be on making improvements to the interpersonal verbal
exchange as an alternative than redesigning the appraisal systems.

37
 2.James R Harrington (2015) identified that human useful resource administration establishes both
an effective and a fair performance appraisal process and it additionally deals with quite a lot of
organizational and psychological reasons which have an effect on

employee's notion of performance appraisal equity, peculiarly in public companies. The study
additionally focuses on regards to the expectations between a worker and that of a service provider and
what each gives and expects in return from the other.

3.Nathan B.R , Mohrman, M & Milliman (1991) studied that there is a considerable agreement
that organizations can advantage from using performance appraisal programs. It states that both
supervisors and employees have bad and optimistic reactions to the method, so without figuring out
individual employees' reactions to performance appraisal method, it's much less seemingly for
performance appraisal to be used for its original ambitions.

4.Michal Biron, Elaine Ferndale & Jape Paawwe (2011) analyzed that the success of the
performance appraisal method may rely on learn how to control the workers’ perceptions of its fairness
and no longer the fairness, so the function of performance value determinations acts as a motivational
software for performance appraisal and it describes that efficiency of perceived fairness of performance
appraisal programs.

5.Catherine Truss & Lynda Grattan (2006) studied the relationship between interdependence,
pain with that of conducting performance appraisal, the study also offers with implications of
performance appraisal and future areas of research on performance

6.M. Z Iqbal, S Akbar & P. Budhawar (2015) analyzed that performance appraisal techniques and
their packages act as an administration manage tools for attaining or for implementation of
organizational targets and organizational efficiency. Performance appraisal is worthwhile for making
improvements to worker performances and even reaching organizational pursuits.

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

DATA ANALYSIS
The nature of data analysis that can be conducted on a group of test of the data will be prejudiced by
goals constructed and the real collected data. It is an essential way in which the whole collected data is
split down into various constituent parts of the options to which the specific questions under the
statements of the problem are chosen.

To do the research appropriately, both Qualitative and Quantitative analysis is very much necessary
in getting the appropriate results and it is essential to evaluate the data and respond to the revised
questions. As already indicated in the before chapter, data is interpreted in a descriptive type.

This chapter comprises the analysis, appearance, and explanation of data conclusion resulting from
42
this research and the analysis and interpretation of data consist of results based on the questionnaire.

The analysis and interpretation of data are carried out in two different phases.

1. The first constituent consists of results found on the questionnaire

2. The second component consists of hypothesis testing of the variables.

INTERPRETATION

Analysis clearly states that most of the respondents working in the company has an years of
experience in their field of work in the concerned department and the diagram also shows the age of
respondents, by this, we can analyze that 30 employees are between the age group of 45 and above, 9
employees are between the age of 35 -45 years and 11 number of employees are between the age of 25-
35 years. Thus a large amount of the employees are experienced.
