Introduction of the Industry:-

“Where it left to me to decide

Whether we should have a government

Without newspaper or newspaper without government,

I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter”

-Thomas Jefferson

What is a Newspaper?

A newspaper is a regularly published print product containing information vital to the

function of the market it service.

Definitions become more important as traditional newspaper companies move

from single-product management (newspaper) to multi-product management – often under

the company’s brand, typically the title of the newspaper.

What newspaper companies are learning is that the value of what they produce is

not the ink on paper, but the content, depth, segmentation choices, credibility, and

emotional attributes that are delivered in any distribution channel they choose.

History of Newspaper :-

The newspaper as we know it today is a product born of necessity, invention, the

middle class, democracy, free enterprise, and professional standards. Choose your

historical marker to begin the history of newspapers.

The first news sheet?

The first newspaper?

The first daily newspaper?

Page: 2

Pre-history “Newspaper” was one-to-one in nature. The earliest variation on a

newspaper was a daily sheet published in 59 BC in Rome called acts Diurnal (daily events),

which Julius Caesar ordered posted throughout the city. The earliest known printed

newspaper was in Beijing in 748.

In 1451, Johannes Gutenberg uses a press to print an old German poem, and two years

later prints a 42-line bible- the significance being the mass production of print products,

ushering in an era of newspaper, magazines, and books. By 1500, the genesis of a postal

system can be seen in France, while book publishing becomes popular throughout Europe and

the first paper mill can be found (England).

With the basic technical groundwork for the modern newspaper in place by the late

19th century, the story of newspaper in the 20th century was about professional development

and adaptation to changing consumer and media markets. The story also involved an evolving

business model that rode an ever-growing wave of mass market advertising. Increased

profitability and higher revenues attracted publicly owned corporations interested in buying

newspapers from descendants of company founders, while simultaneously exposing

newspaper to the whims of cash- and profit-hungry stock markets.

Media in India especially news media, are undergoing significant changes, one needs

to have some idea of the road traversed so far. It is useful to look at media in the two phases

of India’s history-per-colonial and post-colonial. Each medium has taken its own

evolutionary path. William bolts, an ex-employee for the British east India Company

attempted to start the first newspaper in India way back in 1776.Bolts had to beat a retreat

under the disapproving gaze of the court of directors of the company.

Print Media :-

Media planners and buyers have thousands of media choices. Creating a media

strategy that works for require an understanding the options. Media buyers should have a

detailed working knowledge of media that allows them to make evaluations.

Page: 3

Advertisers need enough information to talk intelligently with media planners and

buyers, to assess suggested media plans. The media can be broadly categorized into types-

print media. Broadcast media and electronic media. Print is the keeper of records, the vault

of great literature, and the storehouse of historic accomplishment. Print media are media

that deliver messages on one topic at a time and on one thought at a time. In contrast,

television and electronic media use a simultaneous approach, delivering a great deal of

information quickly, using sound, motion, and text. Because of the structured nature of print

message delivery, people tend to trust print more than broadcast and absorb it more carefully.

Print media also target audiences selectively. When Johannes Gutenberg began building his

press in 1436, he was unlikely to have realized that he was giving birth to an art form, which

would take centre stage in the social, and industrial revolutions, which followed. For

example, those wishing to capture a college-age audience may be inclined to advertise in

popular college newspaper or magazines. These differences have important consequences for

advertisers and media planners.

News Agencies :-

PTI (press trust of India) and UNI (united news of India) are the two primary Indian

news agencies. The former was formed after it took over the operation of the associated press

of India and the Indian operation of Reuters soon after independence on august 27, 1947. PTI

is a non-profit cooperative of the Indian newspapers. UNI began its operation on March 21,

1961 though it was registered as is company in 1959 itself. If any press have license of

DAVP so they give news about any political and government.

Newspaper competes with a broad range of media for audience share and advertising

rupees. Advertisers can choose between newspaper, network television, cable, radio, point of

purchase advertising, electronic media, and direct mail, to name but a few. The high costs of

competition, combined with the increased costs of newspaper production, have resulted in a

general consolidation in the newspaper industry. This consolidation has helped in the industry

implement new technologies to alleviate the most glaring deficiencies of the medium, such as

poor reproduction and lack of sound, movement, and color. Some technology advance

includes the introduction of computerized type, online circulation information system,

electronic libraries, database publishing, and satellite transmission.

Example of market selectivity is special interest newspaper and freestanding inserts.

The wall street journal and the financial times are considered special newspaper because both

concentrate on financial business information. Advertisers can place freestanding inserts in

certain newspaper that are delivered to certain neighborhoods or even certain people.

What have these changes meant for newspaper? The declines in daily readership are

tapering off and Sunday readership is high. Newspaper has learned that Sunday morning is

one of few times when they have their audience almost entirely to themselves. People usually

are not watching television them.

Classification Of Newspapers :-

Newspaper can be classified into three types-frequencies of publication (daily,

weekly, and so on), size, and circulation.

Page: 5

1. Frequency of Publication :-

Newspaper is published either daily or weekly. Daily newspapers usually are found in

cities and larger towns. Dailies have morning editions, evening editions, or all-day editions.

Daily papers printed in the morning deliver more complete records of the previous day’s

events, including detailed reports on local and national news, and on business, financial and

social reports of the events.

2. Size :-

Newspaper typically is available in two sizes. The first, called the tabloid, consists of

seven or eight columns, each of which is about 2 inches wide and has length of

approximately 18 inches. This form makes tabloids look similar to an unbound magazine.

The standard size, or broadsheet newspaper, is twice as large as the tabloid size, usually eight

columns wide and 300 lines deep or 22 inches deep by 14 inches wide. More than 90 percent

of all newspaper use standard size. Apart from the size and format of the newspaper,

advertisers pay close attention to newspaper’s required advertisement format.

3. Circulation :-

For the most part, newspaper is a mass medium, attempting to reach either a reach

either a regional or national audience. The word circulation refers to the number of

newspaper sold. A few newspapers have a national circulation. A far greater number have

only regional circulating. As it the case with mainstream newspaper, most advertisers are

local retailers, especially ethnic restaurants, travel agents, banks, and stores. Special

newspaper also exists for special interest groups, religious denominations, political

affiliations, and labor unions, professional and fraternal organization.

Page: 6

Newspaper Readers :-

Newspaper readers encompass all income brackets, educational level, age groups and

ethnic backgrounds. They live in cities, suburbs, towns, resorts and rural areas.

By all demographic standards the newspaper is a solid mass-market medium,

representing a major percent of adults. Historically, newspaper reading tends to be lowest

among people in their late teens and early 20s. then it always bumps back up as people

reach 30 and settle into homes and need access to the kind of information that newspaper

provide.

Measuring the newspaper audience :-

Newspaper need to measure their audiences to assess their performance and spot

growing opportunities. They also use the measurements to attract advertisers that want to

reach readers. Newspaper obtains objectives measures of newspaper readership by

subscribing to the ABC, an auditing company.

Page: 12

History of GujaratMitra Press:-

Established in 1863, the 'Gujaratmitra is one of the oldest newspapers in the country.

A bi-weekly named 'Gujaratdarpan' was amalgamated in 1894 with the 'Gujaratmitra' and

therefore the paper is known as 'Gujaratmitra & Gujaratdarpan'. Initially started as a weekly

in 1936 the paper was converted into a daily. The spirit of patriotism and missionary zeal

established by its founder Shri Dinshaw Ardeshir Talyarkhan was at its Zenith during the

freedom struggle and has been maintained even today.

In 1998, the alliance of the Reshamwala family with the 'Gujaratmitra' completed its

100 years as Shri Uttamram Reshamwala joined it as sub-editor in 1898. Deeply concerned

about the noble and idealistic policies of the paper and its future, in 1920, the aging and

feeble Parsi owner could not find anyone more worthy and devoted than Shri Uttamram and

urged him to purchase the press and take over the reins of the newspaper. Since then the

'Gujaratmitra' belongs to the 'Reshamwala' family. 1n 1937 Pravinkant, the younger son of

Shri Uttamram Reshamwala had to take over the reins of the newspaper at the tender age of

19 on the sudden and untimely demise of his elder brother Shri Champaklal. With his strong

determination, progressive policies and devoted love towards the 'Gujaratmitra', the late Shri

Pravinkant Reshamwala nurtured the paper to a sound footing. After his demise in 1983 the

'Gujaratmitra' is in the hands of his son Shri Bharat Reshamwala.

Introduction :-

Market means where buyers and sellers interact to establish price and exchange goods

and services.

Marketing occupies an important position in the organization of business unit.

Marketing is so basic that it cannot be considered as separate function. It is the whole

business seen from the point of view of its final result that is from customer’s point of view.

Traditional point of view of marketing assets that the customers will accept whatever

product the seller presents to him. In this way the main concern of product is to produce

without considering the choice of the customers but the modern concept may be viewed from

the customer’s point of view marketing deals with identifying and meeting human and social

needs. Thus the prime objective of modern marketing is the satisfaction of customers need.

One of the shortest definition of marketing is the “Meeting need profitability product

does not produce whatever he likes but whatever customer wants”.

Marketing Management is the process of planning and executive the conception,

pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and services to create exchange that

satisfy individual and organizational goals.

Marketing has often been described as “The art of selling product”. But people are

surprised when they hear that the most important part of marketing is not selling. Selling is

only the tip of marketing iceberg.

The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product

or service fits him and sells itself. Ideally, marketing should result in a customer who is ready

to buy.

In short marketing covers all those activities involved in providing customer

satisfaction – it is to give customer at a right place, at a right time and at a right quality.

Page: 21

Here, Gujaratmitra Pvt. Ltd. is one of the press companies. So their main product is

newspaper and their main activity is selling newspapers with true and correct information. So

providing good marketing department in their organization is their prime responsibility. They

have to provide all other facilities in the marketing department to increase their service

network.

Here, they cannot increase their level of readers but they have to maintain their level of

readers by good marketing policies.

Marketing Concept :-

The marketing concept emerged in the mid-1950s and challenged to the proceeding

concepts. Instead of a product- centered, “make and sell” philosophy, we shift to a customer-

centered, “sense and respond” philosophy. Instead of “hunting”, marketing is “gardening”.

The marketing concept holds that the key to achieving its organizational goals consist

of the company being more effective than competitors in creating, delivering, and

communicating concepts rests on the four pillars :-

( 1.) Target Market

( 2.) Customer Needs

( 3.) Integrated Marketing

( 4.) Profitability

Sales Force Training :-

Organization has a permanent employee so, company recruit more employee. But

recruit an employee for short term / long term. And when company recruit new employee at

the time senior member of the organization gives a training to an new recruiters. Training

involves change in attitude, behavior, knowledge & skills.

Page: 22

Record of Customer Base :-

It is depend on the subscriber and agent. Subscriber collect a premium for how long

time and note down an address of daily customer. And agent note down a record a number of

a copy, rupees, remaining premium.

System Approaching Customer :-

existing news, and attack a customer by the color picture and big front on the first page of

newspaper and also which information it is not boring for a reading. Also provide a

Its networking or channels of distributions are mention here. Office to agent, agent to

wholesalers, wholesalers to retailers and then customers so agent, wholesalers, retailers,

customers are involves in this process. Gujaratmitra sells a 90,000 to 1, 00,000 copies per

day. In last two years it’s selling raise to the 25% to 30%. But its target is selling a more and

more copies of the Gujaratmitra in to the future.

Thus in this international competition of newspaper of Gujaratmitra has got its pricing

strategy in the right way from the its lowest price it is clear that Gujaratmitra wants to

penetrate market by conquering competitors share.

Pricing Policy:-

Price may be defined as, the value of product attributes expressed in monetary terms

which a customer pays or is expected to pay in exchange and anticipation of the expected or

offered utility. Therefore, price is a link that binds customers and the company.

Market Price is the price determined by the forces of demand and supply. The market

Price of the product affects the price paid to the factor of production.

One of the important P in marketing mix is PRICING. Pricing is the most important

as well as difficult decision in marketing. It is the firm who has to decide where the position

its product on quality and price.

Pricing Policy provides general framework within which managerial decisions are

made on pricing. It must adopt changes with changing environment and changing marketing

objectives.

Page: 30

Pricing policies depend upon the different circumstances. They give discount to

vendors and distributors for newspapers. They give 25% discount to distributor and 20%

discount to vendor. For magazines they give 30%to 40% discount and when the subscription

is done they give gift to the customers. No taxes or octroi is charged on newspapers and

magazines.

Now the firm considers certain factors in setting its pricing policy i.e.

Selecting the pricing objective.

Determining the demand.

Establishing the cost.

Analyzing the competitor’s prices, costs and offers.

Selecting a pricing method.

Selecting the final price.

In Gujaratmitra, They produce their daily product of newspapers so they have

different price of their daily product. Here, the top level of managers and directors decide

their pricing policy.

Sometimes they have to increase their price when some circumstances like

earthquake, flood etc. are happened.

They prepare their pricing policy by considering following matters.

it gives best news moreover it is a 150 year old company is well established in markets and

thus it does not require high advertising expenses.

A press is for advertising other brands. It has to contact or maintain relations with big

corporation and other business personals for advertising as they are main source of income.

The marketing department of Gujaratmitra is constantly doing the work of procuring ads.

Gujaratmitra does not have any marketing schemes like its other competitors such as

Gujarat Samachar, Sandesh and Divya Bhaskar of giving free gifts as their price is

inefficiently low. Thus price cutting is adjusted by the promotion cutting at Gujaratmitra.

Channels of Distribution:-

Distribution channels play a very important role in achieving the marketing objective

of a company. According to Ducker,” Both the market and the distribution are often more

crucial than the product.

Most of the producers do not sell their goods directly in the market to ultimate users;

hence there are some channels of distribution through which they sell their goods.

Marketing channels are sets of interdependent organizations involved in the process

of making a product or service available for the use or consumption. Marketing channel

decisions are among the most critical decisions facing management.

Page: 36

Marketing channel may be defined as,” a pathway composed of intermediaries, also

called middle man, who perform such functions as needed to ensure smooth and

sequential flow of goods and services from the manufacturing ends to the consuming

ends in order to achieve marketing objectives of a company”.

The concept of marketing channel is not limited to the distribution of services and ideas also

face the production of physical their output available, accessible to target population.

and profits of the firm. The selected strategy management aims for any of a variety of

specific objectives including optimizing short term unit margins, revenue growth market

share long term profitability or other goals.

Customer Segmentation :-

Marketer can rarely satisfy everyone in a market not everyone likes or needs the same

type of reading content. Therefore, marketers start by dividing up the market. They identify

and profile distinct groups of buyers who might prefer or require varying products and

service mixes.

Page: 39

Market segments can be identified by examining demographic, psychographic, and

behavioral difference among buyers.

The GujaratMitra can do segmentation on the basis of demographic factor like age,

gender and education. There is particular segmentation for newspaper that is general and

business. For magazines they make segmentation according to age gender and Education.

Put this Segmentation only when became effectively if consumers do have goods

awareness. Her age, gender and education wise classification is shown below. That represents

who prefer more newspaper, magazines or both.

shown with the help of column chart. The column chart is therefore representing ting 4 age

groups, which are:

Introduction :-

Production Department is the place where all units convert the raw-materials or semi

finished goods into finished goods. This is done with the help of manpower and machines. In

some organization, production is done only with help of machines where as in some it is done

with the help of workers.

The Production function of a business is concerned with the creation of a

Production of service required to satisfy customer needs, wants and desires. In any business

that supplies a needed product or service, it is quite obvious that activities of production

system must be closely related to customer demanded as reflected in the continuous flow of

orders.

Production must operate primarily to satisfy customer demands particularly relating to

quality, quantity, prices and above timing of delivery as scheduled in the orders.

It must permit production activities to operate in economical and efficient manner

because cost of Production is a vital factor in facing the market competition and in ensuring

normal profit or return on the investment higher costs may be wipe off normal profit and

sooner or later enterprise will be priced out in the market.

Production means creation of utilities and converse all the activities of procurement,

allocation and utilization of resources such as labor energy materials, equipment, machinery

etc.

Production Management is called upon to develop and establish close relationship

between market demand and Production capabilities of enterprise day. In a day out

Production management assures the accomplishment of twin organization goods viz.

satisfaction and productivity mainly through the function of Production planning, Production

control, quality control and inventory control.

Manufacturing (Production) Process Of Gujaratmitra Press:-

Various Stages Of Manufacturing Process :-

The production process of GujaratMitra is lengthy and hard working, as it has to print

1, 00,000 to 1, 20,000 copies a day. Moreover it prints newspaper so it has to update and

bring latest news for printing.

Firstly the circulation starts from the editorial department. They send it to the

advertisement department. Over here all the ads to be given in the next edition are properly

set according to the page; color whether they are black & white or colorful. After the ads are

set by they and they send it to the editorial department for adding the latest news, happing

and the articles according to the space. After the work is done, they format the page the way

they want it to be printed and send it to the head of the department.

Finished Goods

In Surat system department, the pages form Baroda is received from “Server Rack”

machine. This machine has two more modem. In built monitor to access “server rack”, this

server is known as “Mounted Server” and it has no. of switches to operate it. These pages

are in PDF Format in which they cannot any change in this setting.

Now, through this “server rack” it is taken into computer which has special software

called “film process manager”. In this film process manager, the pages are divided in two

color and black & white format. After that, they select, check and then fire the page. In this

software, the fire button is known as “Print PDF File.”

Now these pages pass to “Raster Image process”. It is also called a “Rip Setter.” Then

it goes to “Image setter.” In this “Image Setter” there are two kinds of process that is offline

and online. In the online when the sheet is passed to the laser toid in which it moves like a

pendulums and prints the data and in this the sheet passes straight. In the off line when the

sheet is passed, at this point the sheet tums into oval shaped in the machine and the laser toid

prints the data. After the work is completed the sheet comes out form it position.

Page: 48

Then these sheets pass through the developer. From the developer it goes to fixer.

From fixer it goes to water and finally the sheets passes through the dryer and comes out. The

printing that is done in “Image Setter” is full of small dotes. But dotes are so minute that

without using magnifying lenses, you cannot come to known that the sheet is made full of

dotes, according to the color of the page.

In the system department, there is machine called “Proofer.” In this machine a proof page

is printed. This proof page is taken out to show the production people who actually print the

newspaper. So to give them proper guidelines about color, what format and the proper image

of the papers this machine is useful. Through this sample page, it will be easier for them in

printing. So there is not any problem after the final printing is done. In this Proofer,

There are 4 color cartridges. They are known as “CMYK” (C = Cyan, M = Magenta,

Y = Yellow, K = Kmart black)

Page: 49

Through ‘capillary’ tubes these colors are passed. There is a round block color head to

print the page. ‘Macintosh’ computer is connected to Proofer to convert PDF files in to the

readable form.

Here the work of system department comes to an end. The actual production

department work is starts.

Positive sheets come down to plate making department. Here the first table is known

as “pasting table” where the Paris of newspaper is made accordingly:

1-20 6-15

2-19 7-14

3-18 8-13

4-17 9-12

5-16 10-11

These Paris are made in a grid. These sheets are in a form of readable or non-readable.

Page: 50

From pasting table, the sheets goes to the ‘plat explosion’ that is they kept on a

machine and inside machine vacuum is kept to hit the plate so that all the news get stuck on

the sheets. Form this plate exposure; the sheets are passed to the ‘plate processor’. Here the

image comes on the metal plate. That is known as development in the plant processor

machine. After development is done, it is washed with the chemical and kept for drying. This

plant is known as image carrier.

Page: 51

Then all the plats are sending to press. In press there are three kinds of machine.

I machine

Y machine

Folding machine

First the roller is fixed in rill arm of the machine. From one roller only 4 pages are

made.

There are 5 units of machine in which I and Y machines are kept accordingly. There

are three sections in the machine. Each section has two cylinders. One is blanket and the

other is plant cylinder. Plant cylinder has an image plat rolled on it and blanket cylinder has

rubber rolled on it. There are area in which fountain solution is there, which is used to show

the space between the image and the writing.

Page: 52

It is like ink repairs to grease and grease repairs water. After the printing is done, they

come out through the folder machine which results in cutting and folding. From there it goes

to Womack machine which does counting of the newspaper in lot of “100”. And bundles are

made automatic. In this machine only bundles of 100 is made, but the bundle of 20 or 50 are

made manually.

At the press, there is a machine called “press logic control” machine. This machine is

kept for handling all the 5 units of machine that are used for printing. This machine is feather

touch machine. In this machine the quality of ink that is to be applied is selected, what form

of ink is to be used is selected and how much fountain solution is to be used? All these things

are selected through the four different keys. Those keys are shown in below.

Impression

Ink apply

Ink form

Fountain solution apply

Page: 53

We can just touch it and work is started. This is the main machine through which the

paper is printed with proper color and perfect printing is done.

If the papers are black & white then it passes through only one unit and if they are

colored then it passes through two units from one roller.

Page: 54

After the newspaper is ready for sale, the first preference or deliver is given to these

agents who are situated outside the Surat city. A note is written on every lot of

Newspapers that are how many copies, name, place, release time is written so that they can

directly be dispatched without any confusion.

Thus this is the procedure of printing newspaper as well as the same procedure for

printing supplements, thus this is how GujaratMitra follows its production activity on daily

basis.

Page: 55

Types & Classes of Material Handling Equipments :-

In Gujaratmitra, Material Handling Equipments used by them are as follows:

Conveyor belt :-

Conveyor belt is use for traveling of goods from one place to another. It saves time

and man power because when lot of goods are bulky this belt has become convenient.

Roll paper :-

In Gujaratmitra, they used reels paper. These webs are almost 250 kgs. weight. There

is a hole in center of webs on which paper is rolled. Roll paper is used to lift webs easily and

to fit webs into printing machine.

Waste folding machine :-

In press there is much wastage so the waste folding machine folds the feed material

and ties up into proper way. So, wastage can remove properly.

Page: 56

Ink container :-

Since, it is a press company they use ink to print on paper. Generally, there are two

ink containers in the machines. They use 100 Kg. ink daily.

Rewinding machine :-

Rewinding machine is used to rewind the rolls. The webs which are unused, they have

to collect them and rewind in the machines. In this way, they make best from west.

Rubber roller trolley :-

This trolley is used for keeping all the rubber rolls. The rubber rolls are

very important in printing machine.

Analysis of Plant Layout Considering Various Factors :-

The selection of an appropriate location enable the enterprise to operate smoothly,

efficiently and with the minimum cost and it is estimated that manufacturing and distribution

cost may vary to an extent.

Plant layout is physical arrangement of various buildings, production

departments, technical utilities, personal utilities and location of various machines.

Plant Layout of Gujaratmitra has been established by the Reshamwala who is director

of the company in 1863 at the Surat. So it is very difficult to know the factors considering the

plant location. But from the view point of general manager of Gujaratmitra, the factors that

affecting to the plant layout is as follows:-

Page: 57

Product :-

Gujaratmitra is a daily newspaper. So the newspaper published routine every day

company print 1, 00,000 to 1, 20,000 of newspapers. So it is huge production for the

company. So the Gujaratmitra chooses a product layout. And now it is very successful

company in the newspaper.

Government Rules & Regulation :-

There are some government rules which honestly adopted by the Gujaratmitra which

are as follows.

Gujaratmitra has providing a good freshening facility of their staff members or every

worker.

And also Gujaratmitra has providing a safety facility of their all staff members & all

the workers in the Gujaratmitra press.

Facility for Male & Female employees :-

Gujaratmitra also focus male & female facility like sitting room, offices, their

personal cabin, etc. are separately created in to the for male & female. In the Gujaratmitra

many workers that is male & female are working in the organization. And other facilities are

given very good comparatively of other company.

General Factor :-

In to the Gujaratmitra press, huge & heavy machines are at a ground floor, it

means the production department is at a ground floor.

Advertisement circulation and administration department are on the middle or top

floor.

That is created like as big or modern office and in this other facilities are good in the

company.

The warehouses of the company are also on the middle floor.

Page: 58

There is an arrangement of elevator for uplift the raw material or finished goods.

Master Planning Schedule :-

In simple terms, production plan is the plan of the future production schedule.

Generally, the schedule of the production is prepared by the production manager or person

appointed for planning. ‘Production plan is also known as heart of the organization’.

Normally, to prepare any plan initial step is to plan about the activities required to

achieve targeted goals. In technical terms, production planning is refer to that function of

management, which decide about the resources that will be required for future management

operations, and allocation of those resources to produce the desire output at a right time, in

right amount of required quality and at minimum cost.

In Gujaratmitra, they produce newspapers, so they also decide about production plan

from their sales plan. Their minimum daily production is 1,00, 000 or 1, 20,000 copies but

sometimes, in some circumstances like earthquake, flood etc. is happened, at that time they

produce more.

Production planning has three levels:-

Strategic Planning

Tactical Planning

Operational Planning

Today, Business has become dynamic in nature. So, nowadays the big question arises

that what type of production planning is required that will result in success.

When any circumstances are raised, the hawkers or agents give their orders by adding

more no. of newspapers into their daily orders. So, that the company can produce according

to all the hawker’s orders. In this way, the company decides about their production plan from

their sales plan.

Page: 59

Production schedule is prepared according to the following diagram:

Inventory Control Systems :-

Inventory Control System is,” The process of controlling timings and quantities of

two inventory transactions. The first is purchase or acquisition of inventory and the second is

usage of inventory.”

It is the process, by which the inventory is measured and regulated according to pre-

determined norms such as EOQ, order or production, safety stock, minimum level maximum

level. And order level. It requires determination of inventory policy.

For keeping inventories in control, the company should strike balance between two

extremes i.e. excess stock of material and shortage of material. Since Gujaratmitra consists of

press industry, it can’t bear the shortage of material.

The company always keeps the excess stock of inventory, so when in any case there is

the shortage of inventory, they can use the excess stock and can continue their manufacturing

process. Otherwise they have to lose their customers.

Inventory Valuation Methods :-

There are two methods of valuation:

( 1.) Economic Order Quantity

( 2.) ABC Analysis

In Gujaratmitra they use ABC analysis method for valuation of inventories.

Page: 60

Sales order

Work order

Sending work order

to plant

Production schedule

( 1.) Economic Order Quantity :-

Economic Order Quantity is that quantity ordered at which the total ordering cost and

inventory carrying costs will be the minimum.

( 2.) ABC Analysis :-

Large organizations carry inventories of thousands of items. It is neither possible or

nor advisable to exercise equal degree of inventory control on all items. It is therefore

essential to classify inventories into various groups and then to exercise selective inventory

control according to relative importance of various items.

ABC analysis is popularly known as “Always Better Control”. According to this

approach, there should be a differential treatment for various classes of inventory on the basis

of its monetary value. This monetary value is consumption value of various products.

Following can be three classes according to this classification

A -Group :-

These are those 10% of top consumption items who contribute 70% in consumption

value.

In this company it is News Print.

B -Group :-

These are those items which are 20% in terms of number of items and their value wise

contribution is also 20%.

In this company it is Ink, plates, developer, fountain solution, water.

Page: 61

C -Group :-

All remaining items are C class items, they are 70% of no. of items but their value

wise contribution is only 10%.

In this company it is stationary things.

This % wise classification can be varied from company to company and from

situation to situation.

Classification of Inventories according to ABC Analysis and VED

Analysis :-

ABC Analysis :-

In Gujaratmitra ABC analysis can be done in terms of following categories:

VED Analysis :-

This classification is based on qualitative criteria. As per this classification the

items can be classified into three categories:

Page: 62

Chemicals 4000 Lr. 500 20,00,000

Blankets 8 Pcs. 5,000 40,000

Plates 2500 Pcs. 100 2,50,000

Black Ink 1000 Kgs. 30 30,000

Paper Rolls 20 Pcs. 7,500 1,50,000

Vital Items :-

problems like slow- down of production.

In this company they are plates, developer.

responsibilities of the purchase manager and all other department’s head also. All the

departments are connected with each other. Purchasing and store department both are related

Quality control is the system of policies, procedures and guide lines which establish

and maintain the specified standards of quality. It includes all aspects of quality such as “R

and D (Research and Development),” design parameters, inspection, measurement and

analysis of current quality levels, future trends and also competitors’ quality levels, feedback

from field performance of quality, choice of machines, tools process, technology etc.

GujaratMitra have a similar quality control as compared to other press; moreover

GujaratMitra spends less on quality control because GujaratMitra sees every part of

production as quality control. The production manager in charge handles all the quality

related activities, moreover the workers of production department are very experienced in

their work and in their where they are operating, thus quality control itself is mentioned.

Page: 67

The quality control system mainly appears in production department where different

goods and raw material have to be seen and checked.

GujaratMitra take different measure regarding quality control at different level of

production and they are dividend into.

( 1.) Maintaining the quality of paper roll:

Production of GujaratMitra depends on the paper roll is used for printing purpose. So

it has to keep a close watch that the quality of paper does not differ and then. GujaratMitra

mainly focus on printing quality of newspaper. So the quality of paper used in production

should be the best.

The paper roll received every day are checked by the employees to see if any damage

has occurred to the paper roll, as being the main part of production.

Page: 68

( 2.) Raw material checking group:

Raw material used by GujaratMitra is checked at the time of input, because if the

inputs of raw material are pure, the output of the product will also be pure. The raw material

is roll, fountain solution, ink, chemical, plate films, etc. thus they are checked on regular

basis to avoid any defective lots as well as to avoid the wastage.

Page: 69

( 3.) Work in process inspection:

After receiving all the raw material used in production, the employees start working

to meet its day to day demand. While work in progress is going on, the supervisor visits the

sites now and then, to check if there is any wastage of raw material. Raw material should be

used to their optimum level.

Quality control can be maintained only by using the raw material to their optimum

level without causing any wastage, or spoiling the materials.

( 4.) Checking the finished goods:

Goods should be produced in such a way that there are chances of wastage.

GujaratMitra produce 80000 to 100000 copies a day. So while producing this copies the

wastage ratio should be less in order to get more output. By reducing wastage more output is

possible and which results to increase in production level.

Page: 69

The supervisor checks the production level and keeps a watch on the machine and raw

material producing newspapers.

Thus GujaratMitra quality control procedure is simple and natural. But it has adopted

quality control only to

face an angry mob of workers, negotiate with union leaders on their unreasonable demands,

receive threatening calls through phones, face a strike or convince the management in

Working capital:-

Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities.

Clearly, the safest position to be in is to have more assets than liabilities, and the bigger the

difference the better.

Current assets and current liabilities include three accounts which are of special

importance. These accounts represent the assets of the business where managers have the

most direct impact:

Page: 109

Accounts receivables (current assets)

Inventory (current assets), and

Accounts payable (current liability)

The current portion of debt (payable within 12 months) is critical, because it

represents a short term claim to current assets and is often secured by long term assets.

Common types of short term debt are bank loans and lines or credit.

An increase in working capital indicates that business has either increased current

assets (that is received cash, or other current assets) or has decreased current liabilities, for

example has paid off some short term creditors.

Size of business

Stage of development

Capital Budgeting :-

Every organization has to make plans for expansion, diversification, modernization,

replacement of obsolete assets etc. on a regular basis. All the plans require huge investments

to be made. Spending money in the acquisition of such permanent facilities is called “Capital

Expenditure” and planning of such expenditure is called “Capital Budgeting”.

Capital as a term refers to that part of man’s wealth which is used in production

further wealth which yields an income. Capital is a production means of production. The term

is generally used to mean capital goods such as plant and machinery, tools, and accessories,

stocks of raw materials, goods in process, energy means etc.

Capital Budgeting may be defined as decision making process by which an

organization evaluates the major investment proposals keeping due consideration for the

Amount needed for investment

Amount available for investment

Amount that can be acquired from different sources

The cost of raising funds

Future cash inflows.

These three steps- Forecasting expenditure, expenditure, estimating the

available funds and selection of projects- cover the whole process of capital budgeting.

Advantages of Capital Budgeting:

Capital Budgeting decisions are normally not reversible as along with these

decisions organization must have made many commitments for the future.

A relatively high degree of risks is associated with these decisions.

While finance is scarce in relation to its demand, investment decisions involving

huge amounts will really prove to be a complex task.

Page: 111

The effects of capital budgeting extend into the future and influence the

organization’s profitability and its growth in the long run.

In Gujaratmitra, at the time of purchasing new printing machines, they also consider

the above mentioned important things. They also prepare budget before taking such

decisions.

Analysis of Fund Flow Statement :-

in items of financial position between two different balance sheets dates.”

The fund flow has a variety of meanings. However, for the purpose of fund flow

statements, the term ‘funds’ means ‘net working capital’ also known as ‘net current assets’. It

is defined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Thus FUNDS =

CURRENT Assets – CURRENT Liabilities.

Page: 112

Depreciation :-

Number of methods is being used to provide for depreciation on various types of

assets. The important among them are as under:

Straight Line Method

Reducing Balance Method

Annuity Method

Depreciation Fund Method

Insurance Policy Method

Revaluation Method

Depletion Unit Method

Sum of years digit Method

Here in Gujaratmitra, they use Reducing Balance Method. This method is also known

as written-down value method. The depreciation is charged at a fixed percentage not on the

original cost every year as in the first method, but on the Depreciated Value or Reducing

Balance every year.

The rate of depreciation can be calculated with the help of following formula.

R= 1- n√S/C *100 Where, R=rate of depreciation

S=Salvage Value

C= Cost if acquisition including installing charges

n = No. of years of estimated

Useful life

Page: 117

Advantages of Reducing Balance Method:

The depreciation is heavy in the beginning, when there would be fewer repairs. As

the asset grows older with the passage of time, the repairs go on increasing but the

depreciation goes on reducing under this method.

It is not necessary to make fresh calculation each time when an addition is made to

the asset.

The assets never completely reduced to zero.

The main disadvantage of this method is that it does not take into account

interest on capital locked up in the asset.

Accounting Policies :-

The accounting policies refer to the specific principles and the methods of applying

those principles adopted by the enterprise in the preparation and presentation of financial

statements. There is no single list of accounting policies which are applicable to all

circumstances. The management has to select the appropriate accounting policies looking to

the specific circumstances of their own enterprise.

The following are the example of the areas in which different accounting policies may

be adopted by different enterprises:

Methods of depreciation, depletion and amortization.

Treatment of foreign currency items.

Conversion of inventories.

Treatment of goodwill.

Valuation of investments.

Treatment of retirement benefits.

Recognition of profit on long-term contracts.

Valuation of fixed assets.

Page: 118

Treatment of contingent liabilities.

The above list is not exhaustive but illustrative.

The primary consideration in the selection of accounting policies by any company is

that the financial statement and presented on the basis of such accounting policies should

represent a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the enterprise as at the balance sheet

date.

In Gujaratmitra, The financial statements have been prepared on the Accrual basis of

accounting, under the historical cost convention, except for revaluation of certain fixed

assets, and in accordance with the Companies Act, 1956 and the applicable accounting

standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed by way of notes on Balance Sheet and are not provided

for in the accounts.

Long term investments are stated at cost. Current investments are stated at lower of

cost and net realizable value.

SWOT ANALYSIS

[1]. Strengths:-

Gujaratmitra is making enormous profit year continuously and has earned

very good reputation in the market, which is good for company’s long time survival.

Gujaratmitra has never faced any legal obstruction because of the care they have taken towards. Environment and surrounding others. Gujaratmitra has paid taxes regularly. So government never interface in Gujaratmitra function.

Gujaratmitra has received awards in the field of production, surrounding and record keeping of papers etc. This shows quality policy and environment policy.

The all employees of Gujaratmitra are well satisfied with the compensation, incentives and facilities given because it is higher than many other company so there are no bargaining, no strike etc. and peace among employees and management is well established.

Gujaratmitra has fully computerized system for Records that provides easy function of documents in each department and it saves the time and provides necessary as proof of the Government in the time of legal obstruction.

Gujaratmitra’s employees are Skilled and Experienced they are given such work on the basis of their skill, knowledge and ability, first they put on a probation and if they satisfactory pass out, they permanently employed.

Gujaratmitra has it’s many branch office in India and it’s distribution channel is large so it receiving the more orders and distribution newspaper is facilitated and thus sales are maximum.

Page: 120

[2]. Weaknesses:

Gujaratmitra’s working Procedures allows lots of documentation, which slow down the work process of the organization.

In Gujaratmitra, because of Job security and safety employees tend to be motivated and demoralized which slow down the work. They are not working willingly, they are not devoted to the work, so quality of work is not Possible.

Divya bhaskar, Gujarat samachar give a monthly Guarenteed gift to their subscriber, while Gujaratmitra have no scheme to attract a new subscriber.

Due to high expenses in salaries, maintenance and Raw material, the Profit is less.

Advance merit and Promotion are not given according to the performance of the employees it is given according to the recruitment and promotion guidelines. So dissatisfaction among some of the employees is found. The older person does not want to work under youngsters so they tend to leave the job.

[3] Opportunities:

Last five year ago they have grabbed an opportunity for opening a new office at Mumbai (central) and New Delhi, which have expand their Market and with that their sales also Increase.

Gujaratmitra has set up Plants for other Plant for TOSHIBA, FAST – 300, etc. to move towards dynamic growth of the company.

Page: 121

Gujaratmitra has not a large distribution channel like as Divya Bhaskar, Gujarat samachar. So in many states the people are not aware of the gujarati news paper ‘GUJARATMITRA’ due to they can’t increase their sales so it is take an opportunity to increase a Distribution channel and increase a more sales in other states.

[4] Threats:

In the last few year ago, Divya Bhaskar entered in the market of news paper with a good advertisement at the time of launching a newspaper in the surat. During a last year they capture some of the market in the surat. In future also they try to covered much market as possible.

Because of price rising of Chemical, wasted oil, wasted paper is increasing continuously.

The Gujaratmitra PVT. Ltd. Is located with good structure facilities. It has

good relationship with its employees and workers and also with outsiders. It is progressive

and respected by other companies in the market. The Gujaratmitra PVT. Ltd. is financially

very sound.

Our experience is good by visiting the company. We lean many things from

them and they were also co-operative with us.
