HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
Chandubhai and his brothers Bhikhubhai and Kanubhai migrated from a small
Village Dhun Dhoraji, Kalavad Taluka, Jamnagar district of Gujarat. Their
father Popatbhai Virani was a farmer, who sold ancestral agriculture land and
gave ₹20,000 (US$280) to them to venture into business
The Viranis invested in farm equipment, but could not succeed and lost money.
Kakubhai and his brothers started a wafer business from a canteen of a cinema
hall in Rajkot in 1974. Until 1989, the wafers were produced at the Viranis’
house and distributed in and around Rajkot city.
By their retail success, they were inspired to set a semi-automatic plant instead
of preparing wafers by the traditional frying method. The product gradually
reached every part of Gujarat, and the Viranis wanted to take over the whole of
western India, so the biggest automatic plant of Gujarat came into the picture.
In the initial stage, Balaji Wafers set up their plant at Aji Vasad (Industrial
Zone, Rajkot) with a new concept of making potato chips. The main benefit
they got is the readymade infrastructure availability due to which their cost was
reduced to a large extent. They operated there for around 22 years.
Balaji Wafers then set up their new fully automatic plant near Metoda G.I.D.C.
which is in the area of the village Vajdi, outside the town of Rajkot.
Balaji Wafers had a growth in the chips sector in the 2007-2016 decade,
outwitting the marks of major players like Lays’, Kurkure, Parle, and Bingo.
The company aims at a similar market grab in the frozen foods and fries sector
dominated by McCain Foods, by launching a new line of products under the
Iscon-Balaji Foods brand.

BALAJI WAFERS PVT. LTD,
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Sometimes, industries are located in or near cities. Cities provide markets and
also provide services like banking, insurance, transport, labour, consultants, etc.
Many industries tend to come together to make use of the advantages of an
urban centre. Such centre is then called as agglomeration economy.
Site selection is an important activity which decides the fateof the business. A
good location may, reduce the cost of production anddistribution to a
considerable extent. The reduction of cost of productionand distribution helps in
elevating either the competitive strength or theprofit margin of the business.
Therefore, the location for the factory should be selectedvery carefully. While
selecting a site, it is necessary to consider technical,commercial, and financial
and then the location is selected which may provide maximum advantages.
So, looking to all these factors BALAJI WAFERS PVT.LTD.(S) Ltd. Has
established the plant in an industrial estate-BALAJI WAFERS PVT. LTD. Had
chosen this locationtaking into consideration following factors:-
Vajdi [Vad],
Kalawad road,
Rajkot,
Tal. Lodhika
Gujarat [India]
FACTORS AFFECTING LOCATION OF
UNIT :
The factors influencing the location of industry can be divided into two broad
categories i.e.
I. Geographical Factors:
It is true in the case of raw materials which lose weight in the process of
manufacture or which cannot bear high transport cost or cannot be transported
over long distances because of their perishable nature. This has been recognised
since 1909 when Alfred Weber published his theory of location of industry.
(2) Power:
Thus, more than all other factors affecting the location of large and heavy
industries, quite often they are established at a point which has the best
economic advantage in obtaining power and raw materials.
(3) Labour :
In our country, modem industry still requires a large number of workers in spite
of increasing mechanisation. There is no problem in securing unskilled labour
by locating such industries in large urban centres. Although, the location of any
industrial unit is determined after a careful balancing of all relevant factors, yet
the light consumer goods and agro-based industries generally require a plentiful
of labour supply.
(4) Transport:
Transport by land or water is necessary for the assembly of raw materials and
for the marketing of the finished products. The development of railways in
India, connecting the port towns with hinterland determined the location of
many industries around Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai. As industrial
development also furthers the improvement of transport facilities, it is difficult
to estimate how much a particular industry owes to original transport facilities
available in a particular area.
(5) Market :
The entire process of manufacturing is useless until the finished goods reach the
market. Nearness to market is essential for quick disposal of manufactured
goods. It helps in reducing the transport cost and enables the consumer to get
things at cheaper rates.
It is becoming more and more true that industries are seeking locations as near
as possible to their markets; it has been remarked that market attractions are
now so great that a market location is being increasingly regarded as the normal
one, and that a location elsewhere needs very strong justification.
(6) Water :
Now-a-days alternative raw materials are also being used because of modern
scientific and technological developments. Availability of electric power supply
over wider areas and the increasing mobility of labour have reduced the
influence of geographical factors on the location of industries.
(1) Capital:
(6) Insurance:
There is a constant fear of damage to machine and man in industries for which
insurance facilities are badly needed.
The major factors are affecting Balaji Wafers Pvt. Ltd. Are as follow:
Balaji Wafers one of the topmost potato wafers producing in Gujarat. They are
producing more than thirteen items for these they require raw materials in big
quantity. Raw materials are used by Balaji Wafers Pvt. Ltd. As follow :
Potato, Banana, Magdal, Chanadal, Besan powder, Black paper, Edible Oil etc.
The company gets all these raw materials easily.
Cheap Labour :-
Labour are the main element of production. If the labours are efficient then
production would be of better quality and quantity most of the industries are
getting local. As this place is totally industrial estate and this is the main reason
the company getting the best skilled labours. The company is having 75 to 100
percent of female workers.
Quick Transportation :-
As the area is covered by other industries which are situated on highways that is
far from city and because of that there is no problem of transportation. The
company is also having its own transportation named Kataria Transportation,
which is owned by them and helpful in delivering the products.
Electricity Supply :-
Due to the area is having so many types of industries the government is ready to
provides 24 hour electric power. It will be highly beneficial for company that it
can carry their activities without any types of hurdles.
Nearness to Markets :-
The vital part for industry is its market. So therefore unit must be at that point
from where company can easily supply good to sale agents or distributors or
retailers. In this case Balaji Wafers has an advantages because it has its market
only in Gujarat state.
Suitable Climate :-
The share of manufacturing sector in the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) has
been stagnant at 17% over the last two decades. The total contribution of
industry to the GDP is 27% out of which 10% comes from mining, quarrying,
electricity and gas.
The growth of the manufacturing sector had been 7% in the last decade. Since
2003, the growth rate has been 9 to 10% per annum. The desired growth rate
over the next decade is 12%.

PRODUCTION PROCESS
The operations function essentially is a transformation process that accepts the
inputs, and gives the outputs after adding value to the inputs. The
transformation process is expected to generate an output. The transformation
process is expected to generate an output described by market and this it should
do in the most efficient way. Production process has to adopt itself to number of
changing factors like capacity, lead-time, flexible trade-offs between material,
labour and capital, trade-offs between volume and variety, etc. we cannot have
the best process, it could only be the most acceptable process, given the
different trade-offs.
• The first of production process begins on receiving the order from the
dealer.
• After washing, they are brought for pilling purpose to the peeling
machine.
• Once they are washed and finely peeled they are passed through a belt
where labours remove off the spoiled potatoes.
• After washing and peeling, they sent for cutting. There are different
shapes in cutting machine; these shapes are arranged according to the
need.
• After washing, they are again sent for washing and after that for frying
purpose.
• Once frying gets over again inspection is done to remove the broken
pieces of wafers.
• Once this process endsChips are placed in Spicer drum and necessary
spices are added to it. And than at last they are packed and dispatched.
INSTALLED AND
UTILIZATIONCAPACITY
A Fully automatic plant worth Rs. 80 lacs of wood tap aria ltd.. Indore and one
packing machine of Woodmal Company of US valued Rs. 60 lacs has been
installed with production capacity of 4500kgs per hour.
Average manufacturing per day is 1800 kgs. The manufacturing of wafers and
namkeens is little high in the winter and in monsoon season i.e. in the month of
august due to festivals production goes to maximum possible level. This
industry covers about 90% of the market share in the wafers and about 70% in
the namkeens.
As this is a fully automatic plant, all the process like cutting of potatoes,
wasginhg, peeling, steaming and frying are done automatically. This machine
being Automatic consumes electricity and sometimes they use diesel for
running boiler.
The project manager creates the human resource requirements list. He or she
will also seek input from the project team members.
Inputs to the creating the human resource requirements document include the
activity list, the wbs dictionary, the human resource management plan,
enterprise environmental factors and organizational process assets.
How Is It Used?
Before you can determine how the resource requirements will be met, you must
determine what they are. That’s the purpose of this human resource
requirements document. It captures the WBS identifier, the activity name and
the responsibility. Next, there’s a place for documenting the skills, degree or
certification needed to complete the activity. It also includes a place to
document the start date, end date and over all duration of the work.
If We look at the world management it can be divided into “MANAGE-MEN-
T’. If the word ‘tactfully’ substituted for ‘T’ then the word management would
read “MANAGE-MEN –TACTFULLY”. Thus the word itself suggest the most
important aspect of management, namely, of managing men and human beings
in a particular manner ,namely , tactfully,.
NO. OF EMPLOYEES:
However, the big the organization may be but its employees are its real strength.
Employees are one of the important resources of any organisation. The no. of
employees matters a lot in the performance of the organisation. The number of
employees should be proportionate to the size of the organisation. Any increase
or decrease in the number of employees would cause a problem in the
fu8ctioning of the organisation. IN BALAJI WAFERS PVT. LTD. The number
of the employees is as follows:
Office Staff 24
Engineers 6
Supporting staff 15
The formula for calculating your turnover rate over a given period of time only
requires three pieces of information: the number of employees on the first day;
the number of employees on the last day; and the total number of employee
separations that occurred during that time frame.
The two headcount totals are used to determine the average number of
employees. From there, simply divide the total number of employee separations
by the average number of employees during that period of time. It sounds
complicated, but the process is relatively straightforward. Make it even easier
on yourself and use our free calculator to seamlessly calculate your turnover
rate.
2018 1,800
2020 2,400
Time keeping system:
What is time keeping :
If you are meeting your daily goals for performance and productivity and
bringing about a consistent increase in the regular production, it means that your
workforce is performing their respective jobs to their utmost potential and is
making an optimum use of their work hours.
Timekeeping is the process of tracking and reporting work and leave time.
Everyone is responsible for accurate timekeeping:
Time is a crucial factor that influences and determines the success or failure of a
business.
For this, the organizations need to have a seamless, accurate and efficient
timekeeping system.
An Organisation must decide its working hours and shifts very carefully
because it has a direct effect on the performance of the employees. The working
hours should not be more which would be very stressful for employees. There
should be free time after appropriate intervals which would release the stress of
the employees.
Same things apply in the decision for fixing of shifts. Shifts should be decided
in such a way that the organisation should be able to rotate it’s employees to use
this efficiency fully.
IN BALAJI WAFERS PVT. LTD. The working days are divided into 2 shifts 4
hours each.
OFFICE:
WORKERS:
When there is full demandin the market for wafers then working shifts are
change accordingly.
RECRUITMENT SOURCES AND
SELECTION PROCESS :
Recruitment sources are one of the most frequently studied aspects of employee
recruitment. Recruitment sources are the avenues that organizations use to reach
applicants. Evidence suggests that the choice of recruitment source is a strategic
decision, in the sense that there are relationships between recruitment sources
and employment outcomes. However, the exact nature and reasons for those
effects remain ambiguous.
1.Internal Sources
2.External Sources
Internal sources means to select the required person from the company itself.
While external sources means to recruit the person from the outside the
organization through advertisement, employees agencies, other professionals.

Promotion activities
A business person has to keep on thinking almost all the time. He has to think
not only about the profit and loss of his business but also about expanding the
business. Businesses have to keep on growing in order to stay in competition for
a long time. The growth is only possible when a business is getting more return
for its efforts than the amounts it is spending. When a business in running
condition it is easy to do analysis on what’s working for it and what’s not
working. With this data you can create new promotions.
The promotion of an employee from one job position to another job position
that has a higher salary range, a higher level job title, and, often, more and
higher-level job responsibilities in an organization, is called a promotion.
Sometimes a promotion results in an employee taking on responsibility for
managing or overseeing the work of other employees. Decision-making
authority tends to rise with promotion as well.
The most important purpose that a promotion serves is that it sets a business
apart from its competitors. No business will ever need to run any promotions if
there wasn’t any competition. You have to stay ahead of your competitors in
order for customers to keep doing business with you. If there is a company that
sells similar products or services to yours, you can only make customers buy
from you if you have a special promotion going on. Of course, it is also equally
important to spread the word about promotion to the people by using several
advertising and marketing methods.
In BALAJI WAFERS PVT. LTD. The employees are given Promotionon the
basis of performance and skills.
Not all distribution channels work for all products, so it’s important for
companies to choose the right one. The channel should align with the firm’s
overall mission and strategic vision including its sales goals.
The entire function of getting foods into the hands of theCustomers is often
referred to as distribution. The middle man engagedIn moving goods from the
place of production to the place ofConsumption goods are moved to the desired
place through the channel.In other words, the root by which goods move from
the place ofConsumption is termed as channel of distribution.
Types of Distribution Channels
1. Direct Channels:
2. Indirect Channels
Direct channels:
The producer can sell directly to his customers without the help of middlemen,
such as wholesalers of retailers:
(i) By opening retails shop;
(ii) Through travelling salesmen;
(iii) Through mail order business.
Indirect channels :
The indirect channels of distribution are:
Pricing strategies determine the price companies set for their products. The
price can be set to maximize profitability for each unit sold or from the market
overall. It can also be used to defend an existing market from new entrants, to
increase market share within a market or to enter a new market. Pricing
strategies can bring both competitive advantages and disadvantages to its firm
and often dictate the success or failure of a business; thus, it is crucial to choose
the right strategy.
After considering all these factors the company decides aCompetitive price,
which will help them to compete with the competitors.
