EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The importance of human resource development is evolving day by day in industrial and
non industrial organization all over the world. Human Resource Development (HRD) is the
frameworks for helping employees develop their personal and organizational skills, knowledge,
and abilities.

Human Resource Development includes such opportunities as employee training,
employee career development, performance management and development, coaching, mentoring,
succession planning, key employee identification, tuition assistance, and organization
development.

I did my project in RDCIS,Ranchi for 7 days. I was observing the major activities of the HR
department in the Ranchi Unit and I was also able to gather the necessary information. I could
have a deep observation of the HR operations in the RDCIS. I was allowed to go through the HR
principles and practices manual of the Organization which gave me an overall idea of the
functioning of the HR.

I had a good time with the Sr. Manager of Human resource department and could learn a
lot from them. The data which I have collected was very helpful in understanding the HR functions
in a better manner. These 7 days I spent in the company after travelling 5 km from my home are
worth mentioning in any instant of time in my life.



Introduction to Human Resource Management

Human resource is an increasingly broadening term with which an organization or
other human system describe its most valued assets who individually and
collectively of the business. It is a term used to denote all employees of one
institution, organization, company etcetera, from the top management to the lowest
level of employment excluding the owner/partners/shareholders.

Human Resource Management functions that are designed to maximize both
organizational as well as employee effectiveness.

It is the approach to the management of an organization's most valued assets the
people working there who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement
of the objectives of the business. The terms "human resource management" and
"human resources" (HR) have largely replaced the term "personnel management"
as a description of the process involved in managing people in organizations. In
simple sense, HRM means employing people, developing their resources, utilizing,
maintaining and compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational
requirement.

The goal of human resource management is to help an
organization to meet strategic goals by attracting, and maintaining employees and
also to manage them effectively.

Innovations:

(1) Innovation in Coal & Coke Area

Coal & Coke division of RDCIS is engaged in carrying out research
activities to increase the availability of coking coals & improve coke quality through
process improvements .Availability of good coking coals is scarce in India. However , India
has large server of low volatile medium coking coals & RDCIS has developed
beneficiations circuits to produce low ash clean coals for BF coke making .The second
innovation deals with an innovative coal preparation technique based on differential
crushing of softer & harder coals to improve coke quality in SAIL.

Benefits:- Introduction of differential crushing scheme has helped in improving M10 index
of BF coke from 9.5 to 9.3 during trail period even with lower imported coal usage. Its
implementation has resulted in an annual saving of Rs.4.58 crore at BSL.

(2) Innovation in Product Development

RDCIS has been the nodal agency for development of niche products and
their subsequent promotion & acceptance in the market . The two major innovation
(attempted in recent past) namely, high strength formable quality hot rolled coils & high
strength TMT rebars.

Benefits: - It have led to net sales realization of Rs.600 lakh during the development
stage itself.

(3) Innovation in Agglomeration

During mining of iron ore around 60-70% of fines are generated which are
rich in Fe.These fines can not be charged into blast furnances as permeability gets
affected due to their lower size compared to other input materials .These fines can be
agglomerated either into sinter or pellet form sintering is defined as agglomeration of iron
ore fines into a lumpy porous mass by incipient fusion.

Sintering plants of SAIL were commissioned since two to three decades ago with older
technology . The specific productivity in low Agglomeration group of RDCIS,SAIL is
engaged in carrying out research activities in the area of improving specific productivity,
quality of sinter & reduction in energy consumption.



Benefits:-
(a) Sinter mix temperature increased from 25o c to 65o c
(b) Sinter machine speed increased by 5 %.
(c) The benefits accured were to the tune of Rs. 32.4 million/annum.

(4) Innovation in Energy Area

Energy division of RDCIS, SAIL is engaged in carrying out research
activities in the area of development & implementation of new & innovative combustion
systems & energy conservation measured. To reduce specific energy consumption &
increase speed of sinter machines & for reducing specific heat consumption &
simultaneously improve the product quality in reheating furnace,two such innovations
namely:-
(a) Curtain Flame Ignition system in sinter plant of SAIL.
(b) Improvement in performance of reheating furnance at ISP,Burnpur.

Benefits:-
(a) Reduction in fuel gas consumption by 30-50%.
(b) Annual saving of Rs. 33.23 Crore.
(c) Increase in the machine speed & bed height has resulted in improvement in overall
productivity by 5-10%.

(5) Innovation in Automation for reduction in downtime Rail Mill.

The Rail Mill is functionally divided into five main areas:-
(a) Reheating Furnances
(b) Mill Proper
(c) Hot Saws
(d) Cooling beds
(e) Finished Area

RDCIS has implemented a number of monitoring & control
systems across the Rail Mill of Bhilai Steel Plant. The computer network , data
communication facility & management information systems for Rail Mill of BSP has
been upgraded in stages to meet the modern challenges of improved productivity at
lower cost.

(6) Innovation of high strength micro-alloyed rails

BSP produces 90UTS rails mainly in R-52 & R-60 profile to
cater the demands of Indian Railways. In recent times, due to extremities of operating
conditions there has been a need to increase the service life of Rails.



Indian Railways is planning 2 construct Dedicated Freigh
Corridors(DFC) for 32.5 taxle load of 20.32 ton. This necessitated the development of
micro-alloyed rails as per the need and demand of Indian railways . RDCIS in close
interaction with BSP has developed rails to meet the requirements of better toughness,
wear resistance & higher strength.

(7) Innovation in Iron Ore Benefication

Mineral Engineering group of RDCIS does research activities on
improvement of iron ore quality & reduction in slime losses , which occurs during “Wet
Processing”.
Accordingly, the nature of innovations lies on the modification of
benefication equipments & development of new ideas to operate the equipment in a different
manner, where lies the innovative part. The Capability of any benefication equipment is tested
by working on the limiting parameters & freezing the optimum variable parameters to recover
the maximum valuable minerals.
