1. INTRODUCTION

The main aim of the organizational study is to acquire the knowledge regarding the

functional as well as the management aspects of an organization. It helps us to familiarize with a

business organization and the different department in the organization and their functioning.

The organizational study is at The TRAVANCORE COCHIN CHEMICALS LTD,

Kochi, Kerala. The TCC Ltd is a Public sector undertaking owned by the Government of Kerala

situated at Udyogamandal in the Cochin Industrial belt. The factory and the registered office are

located at 20km from the Cochin International Airport and 15km from the Ernakulam Railway

station. Incorporated in 1951, TCC is one of the oldest chlor-alkali units in the subcontinent.

Today it has a production capacity of 85000 MT caustic soda/annum.

The company supports a large number of industrial units of strategic importance by

supplying basic chemicals with continuous efforts for up gradation of technology and

professional management.TCC is located on the banks of river Periyar, one of the finest

waterways in Kerala, and is recognized as an artery for its coastal trade and commerce.

The word 'business' is actually derived from the idea of 'busy-ness'. This idea accurately

describes most organizations: they are busy organizing resources, producing, selling, managing

people and keeping track of finances. The people running the business have to organize people,

money, materials and machines to produce a good or service to sell or give to their customers.

The discussion I instigated was with a worker who works for Mars. His job is a sales

development manager which involves him being part of a sales team which is the final

connection between Mars and its marketplace. Their key responsibility is to manage business

relationships with retailers, providing brands to consumers. Sales teams translate brand strategies

into practical promotions that build sales at retail level. 1. What is the legal structure of the

organization? Mars is an incorporated business; this means it has a separate legal identity from

its owners.



The chemical industry comprises of the companies tha tproduce industrial chemicals. It is

central to the modern world economy, converting raw materials such as oil, natural gas, air,

water, metal and minerals into more than70,000 different products. Chemicals are used to make a

wide variety of consumer goods, as well as thousands of inputs to agriculture, manufacturing,

construction and service industries. The chemical industry itself consumes26% of its own output.

Major industrial consumers include rubber and plastic products, textiles, apparel, petroleum

refining, pulp and paper and primary metals. The chemical industry has shown rapid growth for

more than 50 years. As accepted by chemical engineers, the chemical industry involves the use

of chemical processes such as chemical reactions and refining methods to produce a wide variety

of solid, liquid and gaseous materials. Salt is one of the oldest and most popular condiments.

What is relatively unknown, however is that salt is also the raw material for one of the most

potentially profitable chemical industries in the country- Chlor alkali. The Chlor alkali industry

faces a threat from the imported products. The chlor alkali industry in India is around 60 years

old. It began with a modest capacity of a few thousand tonnes per annum andhas since grown

into a 2.24 million tone per annum capacity industry. In the process of manufacturing chlo ralkali

some bye products are assured. For each tone of caustic soda, 860 kg of chlorine and 25 kg of

hydrogen will be produced. Some amount of chlor produced is combined with hydrogen to make

hydrochloric acid. Caustic soda, Hydrochloric acid, Chlorine is basic chemicals and are usedby

almost all industries

Organizational studies encompass the study of organizations from multiple viewpoints,

methods, and levels of analysis. For instance, one textbook divides these multiple viewpoints

into three perspectives: modern, symbolic, and postmodern. Another traditional distinction,

present especially in American academia, is between the study of "micro" organizational

behaviour ² which refers to individual and group dynamics in an organizational setting ² and

"macro" strategic management and organizational theory which studies whole organizations and

industries, how they adapt, and the strategies, structures and contingencies that guide them. Tothis distinction, some scholars have added an interest in "meso" scale structures - power, culture,

and the networks of individuals and units in organizations ² and "field" level analysis which

study how whole populations of organizations interact.



Whenever people interact in organizations, many factors come into play. Modern sciences,

organizational studies seek to control, predict, and explain. There is some controversy over the

ethics of controlling workers' behavior, as well as the manner in which workers are treated (see

Taylor's scientific management approach compared to the human relations movement of the

1940s). As such, organizational behaviour or OB (and its cousin, Industrial psychology) have at

times been accused of being the scientific tool of the powerful. Those accusations

notwithstanding, OB can play a major role in organizational development, enhancing

organizational performance, as well as individual and group performance satisfaction

commitment.

Organizational studies, sometimes known as organizational science, encompass the

systematic study and careful application of knowledge about how people act within

organizations. Organizational studies sometimes is considered a sister field for, or overarching

designation that includes, the following disciplines: industrial and organizational psychology,

organizational behavior, human resources, and management. However, there is no universally

accepted classification system for such subfields.

PUR POSE

The study was conducted with the help & support of the employees of different departments

of TRAVANCORE COCHIN CHEMICALS. It is done during the period from 30th May to 23th

July as a part of the partial fulfillment of the Masters of Business Administration Degree. This

report summarizes the following department's activities which include Operations/Production,

Marketing, Finance, Training & Development, Human Resource Department, Materials, Project,

Systems, Engineering, Technical, Security Department.



2. INDUSTRY PROFILE

Chemical Industry in General

The chemical industry comprises of the companies that produce industrial chemicals.Chemicals are used to make a wide variety of consumer goods, as well as thousands of inputs to

agriculture, manufacturing, construction and service industries. The chemical industry itself

consumes 26% of its own output. Major industrial customers include rubber and plastic products,

textiles, apparel, petroleum refining, pulp and paper and primary metals.

Specialty chemicals are a category of relatively high valued, rapidly growing chemicals

with diverse end product markets. They include electronic chemicals, industrial gases, adhesives

and sealants as well as coatings, industrial and institutional cleaning chemicals and catalysts.

Chemicals in the bulk petrochemicals and intermediates are primarily made from Liquefied

Petroleum Gas (LPG), natural gas and crude oil. Typical large volume products include ethylene,

propylene, benzene, toluene, xylene, methanol, VinylChlorideMonomer (VCM), styrene,

butadiene and ethylene oxide.

Other derivatives and basic industrials include synthetic rubber, surfactants, dyes and

pigments, turpentine, resins, carbon black, explosives and rubber products contribute about 20%

of the basic chemicals external sales. Inorganic chemicals (about 12% of the revenue output)

include salt, chlorine, caustic soda, soda ash, acids (such as nitric, phosphoric and sulphuric )

titanium dioxide and hydrogen peroxide. Fertilizers (about 6% of the revenue output) include

phosphates, ammonia and potash chemicals. Consumer products include direct product sale of

chemicals such as soaps, detergents and cosmetics.

Chemical industry is highly heterogeneous with following major sectors.

y Petrochemicals.

y Inorganic chemicals.

y Organic chemicals.



y Fine & Specialties.

y Bulk Drugs.

y Agrochemicals.

y Paints & Dyes.

Indian Chemical Industry

The Indian Chemical Industry is a significant component of the Indian economy with

revenues at about USD 28 billion. Indian Chemical Industry contributes about 6.7% of Indian

GDP and 10% of total exports. The industry contributes around 20% of national revenue by way

of various taxes and levies. Volume of production by chemical industry positions India as third

largest producer in Asia (next to China and Japan). The chemical industry accounts for about

13% share in the manufacturing output. The industry is a vital part of the agricultural and

industrial development in India and has key linkages with several other downstream

industries such as automotive, consumer durables, engineering, food processing etc. With the

current levels of performance the Indian Chemical Industry ranks twelfth in the world

production of chemicals. The chemical industry has achieved a growth rate of 8.6% over the

last few years making it one of the fastest growing sectors in India. This industry¶s growth rate

has been twice the Asian growth rate over the last five years. But the asset creation has been

the lowest. The Indian Chemical Industry is faced with multiple challenges. It is emerging

from a protected environment into a highly competitive global market. At the same time the

domestic market shows a path to maturity with a high demand potential for chemical end-

products. In terms of consumption, Indian chemical industry itself is its largest consumer; as the

basic chemicals undergo several processing to manufacture downstream chemicals. The industry

accounts for approximately one-third of the total consumption. Gujarat is the major contributor

to the basic chemical as well as petrochemical production with 54% and 59% share, in all India

production, respectively. Other major states producing basic chemicals include Maharashtra

(9%), Tamilnadu and Uttar Pradesh (6% each). Other major states producing petrochemicals

include Maharashtra (18%), West Bengal (12%), Uttar Pradesh (4%) and Tamil Nadu (3%).



India is also an importer of chemical products. India¶s chemical imports are either for the

purpose of further processing in the chemical industry or for usage as intermediates in other

manufacturing sector. India has been sourcing its imports mainly from China (20% of India¶s

total chemical imports), followed by USA (8%), Saudi Arabia (6%), Singapore, Morocco and

Germany (5% each).The Government has been announcing a number of measures to improve the

competitiveness of the Indian chemical industry. These include: abolition of industrial licensing

to most of the chemical sub-sectors, excepting a small list of hazardous chemicals. The

Government is also continuously reducing the list of reserved chemical items for production in

the small scale sector, thereby facilitating greater investment in technology up gradation and

modernization. The Government has initiated policies for setting up of integrated Petroleum,

Chemicals and Petrochemicals Investment Regions (PCPIR). Such an initiative is likely to attract

major investment, both domestic and foreign, into the regions, which would have enabling

infrastructure that would provide conducive and competitive environment for setting up of

manufacturing units. PCPIR would reap the benefits of co-siting, networking and greater

efficiency through use of common infrastructure and support services. Such an industrial

complex would boost manufacturing activities, augment exports and generate employment.

Government is a signatory to Chemicals Weapons Convention, which is an universal,

non-discriminatory, multilateral Disarmament Treaty that bans the development, production,

acquisition, transfer, use and stockpile of all chemical weapons. India has passed the Chemical

Weapons Convention Act, 2000, which has come into force in 2005.Indian Chemical Council

(ICC ± also known as Indian Chemical Manufacturers Association) is the nodal point / signatory

representing India under the Responsible Care Initiative. ICC has prepared codes, guidance notes

for implementation of process safety, employee health and safety, pollution prevention,

emergency response and product safety. ICC is continuously interacting with regulatory bodies

on various issues like emergency preparedness, and safe transportation of hazardous chemicals.

Indian chemical firms have in place technical agreements with multinational firms to

keep abreast of the technological development in the global chemical industry, and to explore

possibilities of adapting the technology to meet the specific requirements of the Indian market.

Such a strategy helped the firms to have continuous up gradation in technology, resulting in a

wide and superior product portfolio. Strategies have also been adopted by Indian chemical firms

to cut down cost of production through leveraged buy-out for sourcing cost efficient raw



materials and solutions for energy efficiency. Some Indian chemical firms are engaged in

continuous research and development activities to innovate new applications to increase end user

segments. Consolidation through buy-outs of brands and business is another strategy adopted by

Indian chemical firms. Indian chemical firms are leveraging their manufacturing expertise and

enter into contract manufacturing with multinational firms. These include custom manufacturing

and private labeling.

CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES

CHALLENGES

Indian chemical sector has grown a long way since its early days of independence. The

sector has grown from a small-scale sector to multi-dimensional sector, which is taking on the

challenges of globalization. There are few factors, which hinders the growth of the industry.

These include:

High prices of basic feed stock

Basic raw materials constitute major portion of cost of production (30% to 60%) in the

chemical industry. Indian chemical industry either uses natural gas or crude oil as feedstock for

manufacturing process. The fluctuations in oil prices therefore affect the growth projections of

the firms. At times, the manufacturers are unable to pass-on the cost escalation (occurring due to

sudden increase in oil prices) to end consumers. Cost optimization is thus critical for the

chemical units, as their margins may go under pressure during oil crisis.

Low Level of ICT interface

Globally, information technology is being extensively used in several areas like chemical

processing and manufacturing. Application of information technology in the chemical sector is

mainly for equipment design, chemical engineering, and process simulation that have helped in



reducing product and process development time. Information technology is also increasingly

used in the area of R&D, especially in collaborative research. The usage of information

technology in Indian chemical industry is relatively lower, as most of the units are in the small-

scale sector.

Low Level of Brand Development

Indian chemical producers, excepting a few large producers, generally sell their products

as generic products without brand development. There is also low level of interest amongst small

scale producers for brand development, product development as also market development.

Low Level of Common Infrastructure

In general, due to its very nature, the chemical / petrochemical industry requires certain

basic infrastructure facilities, both in the process chain as also in the supply chain. In the process

chain, the critical infrastructure requirements include a common effluent treatment plant, and an

effective green belt segregating the industrial units from human settlements. In the supply chain,

the critical infrastructure requirements include a good port, chemical storage terminal, and

adequate berthing facilities. In the above context, it is being felt that the production and export

earnings of this sector would receive a quantum jump if an industrial estate dedicated to the

chemical industry could be set up. At present, each unit has to create specialized facilities on its

own which leads to duplication of efforts and investment. If chemical units are clustered in close

proximity, the required infrastructure could be vertically integrated resulting in cost reduction.

Environmental Regulations

Safety, health and environment protection issues are becoming important concerns for the

Indian chemical industry. As with other industries, the chemical industry needs to comply with

regulations such as Occupational Safety and Health and Process Safety Management regulations.



Environmental safety, occupational safety and process management safety can easily be met if a

firm is manufacturing large volume of single chemical. But it may not be relatively feasible for

the firms who manufacture low volume and large number of chemicals in a single plant.

Dumping / Import Competition

The chemical industry is the second largest industry that has attracted large number of

anti-dumping actions in the world.

STRATEGIES

Focus on Core Competence

Chemical products trade is increasingly getting specialized all over the world. Innovation

is increasingly becoming an important factor to focus on core competence and to become

manufacturers to focus on select business segments where competitive advantage exists. Such

strategies would help Indian chemical manufacturers to establish relationship with their

customers in profitable segments and exit non-competitive segments.

Strengthening Technological Competence

Indian chemical industry should strive for continually improving its production processes

and products by investing resources in technology development. Technological development

may be achieved by the chemical industry at two levels. In the bulk products segment, the

chemical industry should undertake process innovation with the objective of reduction in cost of

production. In addition, the industry needs to invest in technological resources that would lead to

specialized product development. Liberalization process has already increased the possibility of

intra-firm transfer of technology and management practices in the form of consolidation within

the economy as also from developed countries through foreign direct investment.



Improving Basic Management Capabilities

Indian chemical industry has a good record of management expertise. This could be

further leveraged with techniques such as Good Manufacturing Practices, Good Laboratory

Practices, Total Quality Management, Total Production Management and Risk Management. The

Principles of Good Laboratory Practices have been developed to promote the quality and validity

of test data used for determining the safety of chemicals and chemical products. Such practices

would result in quality improvement and lower cost, thereby improving competitiveness.

Adhering to Environmental Norms

Chemical substances are used in manufacture of consumer items such as paint, glue,

insect spray, cosmetics and household cleaners, chemical producers have the responsibility in

promoting safe management of substances ± starting from design in production to end-use, and

their final disposal (hazardous waste).Environmental regulations were the principal reason for

the relocation of manufacturing facilities from developed to developing countries. To garner a

greater share in world chemicals market, Indian chemical industry needs to address various

developmental issues such as sustainable chemistry, adherence to safety and health and risk

management.

Focus on R&D

Research and Development in the chemical sector may be undertaken in areas such as:

Product development;

Process innovation; Equipments for production; and

Research related to application/safe use of chemicals.

The basic chemical sector should focus on process innovation and product development

and strengthen their competitiveness through improvements based on performance and quality of



products. Firms in knowledge based chemical sector should focus on R&D with the objective of

achieving product leadership and process innovations. The petrochemical sector should focus on

application R&D, as new applications have to be identified to increase use and application of

polymers.

Collaboration

The chemical industry needs to enhance their collaborative efforts in order to improve

competitiveness. Collaboration amongst players in the chemical industry could happen both at

cluster level (for sharing of common infrastructure) as also at firm level (for sharing of

knowledge and technology).Collaboration with firms across borders for technology and

investment would also give a boost to the industry. In addition, the players should also achieve

greater level of industry-institutional partnership for knowledge development and sharing.

Increasing ICT interface

Chemical firms in India can gain a lot by making their manufacturing process IT-enabled.

Information Technology (IT) can bring a good change in entire process cycle from technology,

engineering and procurement to manufacturing, by integrating them with business processes in

all these areas. This will eventually result in higher efficiency for the industry. Increasing use of

IT to transact business will also help the sector, as most of the products in the chemical sector are

commoditized.

Consolidation

The new trend in chemical industry is competing through consolidation. Chemical firms,

through mergers and alliances are now achieving economies of scale all over the world.

Consolidation helps the chemical industry in reduction of cost in their procurement and

production. Such consolidation exercises also provide for reduction in overheads, marketing



expenses, increased efficiencies in supply chain management, and enhanced presence in various

regions.

Industry - Academia Linkages

For transforming ideas into new products, partnership between industry and academia is a

must. Thus, Indian chemical industry should leverage the potential of educational and research

institutions to source intellectual as well as human capital. Such linkages may be effectively used

for setting up of in-house R&D facility or for outsourcing R&D activities. The educational

institutions could play a greater role for development of Indian chemical industry by offering

courses and conducting research proactively. The research and academic institutions may also

open local offices within chemical clusters to facilitate greater level of interactions.

Marketing and Promotion

Indian chemical industry should increasingly focus on marketing and promotion to

achieve greater share in global chemical trade. The industry may endeavour to concentrate more

on issues such as brand building, export promotion and market development. These aspects can

be easily tackled through adoption of superior process technologies and adhering to quality and

environmental standards.

Setting up of Chemical Parks or Mega Chemical Estates

In order to address the issue of capacity expansion and for creation of common

infrastructure, the chemical industry, in association with the Government may establish exclusive

Chemical Parks ± a concept similar to the Software / Hardware Technology Park. It is also

important to consider establishment of exclusive Chemical Zones on the lines of Special

Economic Zones to give a fillip to the industry. In such Parks / Zones, the industry may be



encouraged to set up mega chemical plants that could contribute to increased production as well

as employment generation. The Government has already initiated policies for setting up of

integrated Petroleum, Chemicals and Petrochemicals Investment Regions (PCPIR).

De-reservation of Select Chemical Production

Many chemical products are still reserved for production under small-scale sector.

However, cost competitiveness as well as technological compliance cannot be achieved without

operating under scale economies. Most of the firms operating at the global level are big ones and

enjoy economies of scale. De-reservation of chemical products reserved for production under

small-scale sector can be a good measure to support the globalization efforts of the industry.

Creation of Modernization Fund

A modernization fund on the lines of technology up gradation fund established for the

textile sector may be created to strengthen the technological competence of the industry.

Increasing Consumption Levels of Chemicals

Per capita chemical consumption in India is low as compared to world standards

(estimated to be one-tenth of world average).Increasing consumption level in the domestic

market would ignite the prevailing latent demand. This could be achieved through increasing

applications through R&D and enhancing the knowledge of end consumers. The industry, thus,

has a major role in increasing the per capita consumption level in the domestic market.

3. COMPANY PROFILE

HISTORY

Seshasayee brothers established the Travancore Mettur Chemicals in 1951(Under IndianCompanies Act 1956) in joint venture with Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore

Ltd(FACT).Commercial production was started in 1954 with a capacity of 20 TPD Caustic soda.

It has the distinction of manufacturing unique product named Rayon Grade Caustic Soda. When

financial problems happened to the company the then Travancore-Cochin government provided

financial aid and it was taken over by the government. Thus it got renamed as Travancore

Cochin Chemicals and subsequently after the independence it was taken over by the Govt of

Kerala and it became a public ltd company. At present its production capacity is 175 TPD

Caustic soda and it plans to expand its capacity to 225 TPD Caustic soda. About 50 corers is

needed for the expansion which will take 2-3 years to complete. The company undertook

expansions in 1961,1964 and 1975 using Mercury cell technology. As Mercury cell technology

is creating problems the company went for the latest technology which resulted in the shifting of

the company¶s technology from Mercury cell technology to Membrane cell technology which is

an environment friendly technology. Membrane cell technology was commissioned in 1997 with

technical help of ASAHI Glass Co Ltd in Japan. The products of TCC are Caustic soda,

Chlorine, Hydrochloric acid and Sodium Hypo Chlorite. The raw materials used for the

production of these products are Common salt, Electricity and Water. About 60% of production

cost is spend by TCC for Electricity. When Mercury cell technology was used there was a

requirement of 3700 units of electricity for producing 1 TPD Caustic soda. But due to the

introduction of Membrane cell technology the consumption got reduced to 2600 units of

electricity for the production of 1 TPD Caustic soda. Common salt is brought mainly from the

salt pans of Tuticorin in Tamilnadu. Water needed for the production is met from the river

Periyar. At present TCC¶s strength is about 800 workers which comprises of 700 employees

and 100 managerial staff.TCC is accredited with ISO 9001:2008 certification in 2006 and

company is planning to go for ISO 14000 certification.TCC is the only public ltd company

manufacturing Caustic soda in India. TCC¶s competitors are all private companies.TCC has

decided to join hands with Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).Sodium per chlorate is



used as fuel in rockets. Sodium chlorate is the essential raw material for making Sodium

perchlorate.TCC and ISRO has signed the deal for the production and supply of Sodium chlorate.
