1.C Nature of Business
Recycling Plant
India is the second most populous country, which has about 16% of the world
population and 25% of the land area. Rapid industrialization last few decades
have led to the depletion of pollution of precious natural resources in India
depletes and pollutes resources continuously. Further the rapid industrial
developments have, also, led to the generation of huge quantities of hazardous
wastes, which have further aggravated the environmental problems in the
country by depleting and polluting natural resources. Therefore, rational and
sustainable utilization of natural resources and its protection from toxic releases
is vital for sustainable socio-economic development.
Hazardous waste management is a new concept for most of the Asian countries
including India. The lack of technical and financial resources and the regulatory
control for the management of hazardous wastes in the past had led to the
unscientific disposal of hazardous wastes in India, which posed serious risks to
human, animal and plant life.
Looking at the current status of the recycling industry in India a number of
attempts have been made in order to use any kind of waste, be it household, e-
waste, industrial etc. or at least to dispose this waste in a wise manner which
would affect the environment in the least possible manner.
A number of committees and societies have been formed to look into this issue.
A number of conferences have been conducted, exhibitions have been put up,
and attempts have been made to spread awareness amongst the public in
relation to the waste management.
The concept of recycling is not very new in India, but looking at the actual
work done in this respect, we found out that there is still a long way to go.
India‟s e-waste is increasing at a rapid rate of 10% every year but still there are
no e-waste recycling plants in India yet. There are not many organizations
which are seriously taking steps towards it.
The work done and steps taken all seem to be very theoretical in approach and
good to hear but in reality nothing has seemed to take a practical shape.

Here is a state wise distribution of the waste produced all over India, it also
classifies as to which waste can be recycled, incinerated or disposed.
Introduction to small/medium scale industries
The Ministry of Small Scale Industries (SSI) is a defunct Indian government
ministry. It was merged with the Ministry of Agro and Rural Industries to form
the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. The ministry was tasked
with the promotion of micro and small enterprises (MSEs).
The Ministry of Small Scale Industries and Agro and Rural Industries
(SSI&ARI) was created in October 1999. In September 2001, the ministry was
split into the Ministry of Small Scale Industries (SSI) and the Ministry of Agro
and Rural Industries (ARI). The Ministry of Small Scale Industries merged with
the Ministry of Agro and Rural Industries to form the Ministry of Micro, Small
and Medium Enterprises in 2007
The Small Industries Development Organization (SIDO) was under the control
of the ministry, as was the public sector undertakings National Small Industries
Corporation Limited (NSIC).
The Small Industries Development Organization
It is the Office of the Development Commissioner for Small Scale Industries.
SIDO was established in 1954 on the basis of the recommendations of the Ford
Foundation. It has over 60 offices and 21 autonomous bodies under its
management. These autonomous bodies include Tool Rooms, Training
Institutions and Project-cum-Process Development Centers.
Various Services provided by SIDO to the SMEs:-
Facilities for testing, tool mending, training for entrepreneurship
development.
Preparation of project and product profiles.
Technical and managerial consultancy.
Assistance for exports.
Pollution and energy audits.

11. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
SIDO also provides economic information services and advises Government in
policy formulation for the promotion and development of SSIs. The field
offices also work as effective links between the Central and the State
Governments.
1.D Financing Needed

1.E Statement of Confidentiality Report
The Guiding Principle of Confidentiality embodied in the language of the letter
of agreement among AMT, AMTDA, and Object ware Inc. states: "no one
should be able to use these reports to identify a company involved in any
transaction.”
The report also states that the Joint Statistics Committee, composed of an equal
number of AMT and AMTDA member representatives, shall approve any
Changes in report structure, use of and access to the data.
The Joint Statistics Committee has
approved the following Confidentiality Rules:
Press release report: No masking. All numbers will be disclosed.
No masking for units. All numbers will be disclosed.
For dollar value data points, the “3/40/5 Rule” will function as follows:
A minimum of 3 companies must report transactions for each data point
If one company accounts for more than 40% of the dollars reported, then
the number will not be disclosed; Or If 5 or more companies report
transactions, then the number will be disclosed.
There may be cases of non-disclosure of some dollar values, in order to
prevent someone from determining the value of a single data point which
has not been disclosed, per the above rules.
Unit data is disclosed on the premise that, for any product or sales area,
the number of participants in the program (both builders and
distributors), is at least three companies, and that in any given month, it is
not possible to attribute a transaction to a specific company. Due to
sensitivity of price information, restrictions are imposed on the disclosure
of this information.
The operating agreement further states that industry reports shall be
jointly owned by AMT and AMTDA (not Object ware Inc.).
11 | P a g e
13. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
Their Joint Statistics Committee retains complete discretion to determine
the scope and terms of distribution of any reports. The participants shall
maintain ownership of their respective data, while the aggregate data base
is owned by the two
Associations.
In addition to the safeguards described above, additional provisions include:
• Access to USMTC data limited to the Object ware Inc. staff directly involved
in providing services and producing reports.

2. Executive summary
Our business has a start - up capital of Rs. 2 Crores. We have allocated
resources to different spheres of the business with much thought and
application. Our basis consists of the up cycling of waste wrappers, cloth
pieces, broken wood pieces, and waste plastic and metal containers. We plan to
focus mainly on plastic and polyester and terracycled papers coming from
masala pouches like pan parag, plastic bottles of mineral water as well as soft
drinks and plastic from almost all packed food items like potato chips etc...
These items which would‟ve been a waste could actually be used for
transforming them into different stationary items like pencils, backpacks,
folders, pencil cases and other useful items like trash containers, eco binders,
disposable glasses, plates, umbrellas and bags.
The bottles produced will be used for packaging of cleaning agents used in
houses or for fertilizers, pesticides or other materials used for farming. The only
material required for making these products is trash, which is why our tagline is
"Trash modified is Cash simplified."
Raw material can be made obtained easily. We will have tie ups with major
MNC‟s who are the major contributors to the kind of resources we are looking
for. Some of these companies include Pepsi and coke India, Parle, HUL & Pan
Parag. We can ask each of these companies to sell their used bottles and
pouches to us as well as their defected products. This is how we will acquire
13 | P a g e
15. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
our raw material which can be easily made available due to the large amount of
sale of products in these categories in India.
Our project has been formed for the purpose of not only earning huge profits
but also create awareness about the need of saving the environment. Hence, we
are expecting a lot of support when we initiate this revolution because of the
social cause attached to it. This organization will help take care of excess litter
and reuse and up cycle things that would have just added to the pollution if not
acted upon. Incineration adds to air pollution while dumping of reusable
products on land chokes the soil and makes it impossible to grow any crops on
that land.
Being Realistic, our products will be slightly higher priced than the normal ones
in the market because the process of up cycling is more expensive than
manufacturing from the start. The raw material has to be made suitable for safe
human use. Because of this technical 'difficulty', we are starting our business
operations in Bangalore first which will gradually followed by setting up
operations in other Metropolitan cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and
Hyderabad.
Educated class would be willing to pay a little extra for an ecofriendly product.
It will just cost equivalent to only a cup of coffee. In India, the percentage of
people paying a little extra for the 'green' products is about 7 - 8% and
fortunately, this % is increasing. Considering the Metro cities, this % would be
about 20% since people have a better purchasing power, they are more educated
and they are more aware of the importance of the eco - friendly products.
The purpose of selection of business
14 | P a g e
16. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
Personally both of us did think of many topics and had scrutinized quite a few
on various parameters. The reason why we selected this plan is because it is a
very feasible plan and the need of such a business is very much required at this
point in our country. Taking the example of Karnataka alone, every week we
read an article about waste being dumped or burnt in the outskirts of Bangalore
which is causing a number of problems like pollution and the release of very
dangerous gases. If the same waste can be actually used and transformed into
products of daily use then we are sure we‟ll be successful in the contribution
process of saving Mother Earth.
Vision
Solutions for a green planet
Mission
To become the world's leading Consumer Company for recycle products and
services rich in process driven operations, with emphasis on environment,
health and safety.
Some Advantages to the environment:
- Reduction and thereby gradual elimination of dumping of waste particularly
plastic.
- No contamination of ground or water by dumping or burning of these harmful
chemicals.
- Less toxic fumes
- Reduction in the rate of global warming, acid rains, etc.
We believe that it will not be very tough in convincing the corporate world also
about the advantages of such products and hence the search for customers could
also end there.

3. Industry Analysis
3.A Future outlook & trends
Future Outlook:The Evolution of the Disposable Society
It helps to put municipal waste in perspective. At the turn of the 20th century,
the rapid industrialization of the previous century led to urban squalor. People
were crowded together in tenements, throwing their garbage into the streets. But
a dedicated urban reform movement helped to establish municipal sanitation
departments. Uniformed crews began to provide convenient collection and
disposal of municipal waste. The system was overseen by municipal engineers
who convinced local elected officials to invest in modern waste disposal
technologies such as "sanitary" landfills, waste-to-energy combustion facilities
and recycling plants.
As time went by, the waste stream changed. In 1905 municipal waste consisted
of household ashes from cooking and heating (75 percent), kitchen scraps (16
percent) and miscellaneous rubbish (7 percent). A century later, the ashes were
gone, but the "miscellaneous rubbish" (today's consumer products and
packaging) had swelled to take their place.
It only seems sensible, when you think about it, that there would be such
explosive growth in throwaway products and packaging. Municipal waste
management is provided as a public service, perceived by citizens as a free
resource. There is no incentive to economize on waste either at the household
level or, more importantly, in the marketplace.
Producers of consumer products never thought twice about designing their
products to be thrown away. It started with the convenient "no deposit no
return" pop cans which consumers were urged to toss in the trash rather than
return to the store to be refilled. And it continues today with a new generation
of throwaways: consumer electronics. The personal computer is the pop can of
the cyber age, a disposable container for quickly obsolescing information
technology.
Computer makers have shipped hundreds of millions of units without ever a
thought of what would happen to them when the newer, better, faster version
became available. And it is local cities and towns that are expected to bear the
brunt of the problem.
16 | P a g e
19. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
Despite the figures being so huge no action has been really taken to either
control it or reuse it. Hence, we come up with this project to propose a recycling
up cycling plant which could use this waste as its raw material and make better
useful accessories out of it.
The Future of Waste
So what is the alternative? At the same time that North American cities and
towns were beginning to budget for recycling, there was a quiet policy
revolution underway in Europe and the Canadian province of British Colombia.
There, governments and a handful of citizens were questioning the century-old
assumption that local communities should clean up after the Disposable
Society.
A new waste policy known as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has led
to the adoption of laws in many parts of the world that require any company
that sells a consumer product to provide "cradle-to-cradle" take-back service to
its consumers. In British Columbia these laws are being introduced one product
category at a time. First the producers of paint were called to the table and
required to set up a program to take back and recycle their products from
consumers. Then the producers of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, fuels, and paint
thinners. Most recently the producers of packaged motor oil and oil filters. Soon
it will be tires and batteries. Then British Columbia will likely follow Europe's
example and require EPR for electronic products.
Cities and towns in British Columbia are now able to ban these products from
their waste management programs, reminding citizens to look to the producer
for the waste solutions. People living in British Columbia imagine a day when
cities and towns will devote their resources to developing state-of-the-art
composting and sewage treatment systems - not to mention libraries, parks and
schools - while recycling of consumer products and packaging will be a thriving
commercial activity. It will be carried out in what some like to call "discard
malls." It will be a profitable activity because products will be designed for
recycling and reuse, rather than for the landfill.
This is the New American Dream - that the consumer products industry can
eliminate waste by effectively managing its resources. It will take conscientious
citizens to send this message to our civic leaders.
18 | P a g e
20. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
While we must currently make do with recycling, it is only one small part of
waste management and we can do much better. As long as communities
continue to pick up after producers of disposable products, producers will never
learn how to pick up after themselves.
Trends
Current trends in the market greatly favor the start-up of our recycling
business.
Municipalities are already seeking alternative means of disposal as disposal
prices are expected to skyrocket as landfill space decreases dramatically.

Market Growth
The possibility of growth in this market is realistically huge. Consider the
following simple facts:
Municipalities must have an alternative means for disposing of human
waste; we offer a great alternative to meet that need.
Market trends are skewing more and more toward organic soil enhancements
and away from chemical fertilizers; we meet this need as well.
We have no direct competition in West Virginia and very little in the Mid-
Atlantic region.
All of this means that Mid-Atlantic Recycling is poised to see tremendous growth.
Buying Patterns
To be a player in the organic fertilizer and soil produce market, Mid-Atlantic
Recycling identified market needs to gain an overall competitive advantage. The
following explains our product's competitive advantages. Our product is:
Organic: Our organic product allows us to be responsive to the dominant
market trend. We offer all of the advantages that organic products have over
chemical competitors.
Comparable application times: Based on the West Virginia University
laboratory analysis, our product is comparable in potency to chemical

Machinery
We use two kinds of machines. The first is for the recycling of the plastic and the
paper.
From washing basins for waste plastic to granule extruder, complete line of
recycling plant can be seen on diagram. Recycling plant equipment is subject to
change depending on polymer to be recycled. Recycling plants contain washing
basins, crushing machine, agglomerate, drying unit, granule extruder and
packaging unit.
Equipments
Equipment used for sorting are Bales Breaker, mainly used for bottles washing,
Conveyor Belts with different set up, Metal Detectors and Separators, with
different configurations and Trommels.
30 | P a g e
32. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
After separation plastic scraps should go to size reduction; in this section we will
be talking about Shredders and Granulators.
A good separation is what makes the final product pure therefore there is a
description of Dry Separators and wet separation with Sink-Float Tanks and
Hydrocyclones.
There is also some description of different ways of washing using Washing
Machines with some little explanation about Pre-Washing systems, according with
the scarps you will be dealing with, together with rinsing methods with Rinse-
Dryers and finally drying that is one of the most difficult things to achieve in
plastic recycling, by means of mechanical Centrifuges.
Other equipment commonly use are also Classifiers, Dosing Units, and Mixing
Silo.
When your scrap is clean and dry, you may want to upgrade your final product
according with what it is; for this you may want to go with an Agglomerator
(densifier) specially in case of thin film washing, a Pelletizing Lines together with
Polymer Filtration and speaking about PET and any Crystal Polymer, an IV
upgrade through Solid State Polycondensation.
And do not forget dirt doesn't disappear but goes into Water; few words about a
very important subject.

6. Operational Plan
6.A Description of company’s operation
The Waste-Glass Recycling Plant is a set of machines to produce Supersol, a
pumice-like light porous foamed material, from waste glass produced in the
local community as 99% of its basic materials.
The Waste-Glass Recycling Plant consists of 9 machine units, a bottle supply
hopper, a bottle conveyor, a crusher, a cullet mill, powder conveyors, a
powder sifter, a mixing machine, a baking machine and a Supersol sizer; and
automatic control panels. The bottle supply hopper can hold about 4.5 m3 of
waste glass, which is crushed into cullet of less than 6 mm in size by the
crusher. The cullet is then milled into glass powder with a median grain
diameter of 35 µm by the cullet mill. The glass powder is sent to the powder
sifter, which removes foreign objects and powder grains that are not of a
36 | P a g e
38. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
specified size. The mixing machine mixes glass powder and add-in materials,
and continuously sends the resulting powder mixture to the baking machine.
There the powder mixture is preheated, softened, baked and foamed in the
temperature range of 700 ~ 920 degrees centigrade. The layer of glass powder
mixture having an initial thickness of 15 mm is converted into a light porous
slab having a thickness of about 60 mm. More than 70% of these machines
have originally been developed by Trim.
Most conventional glass recycling machines crushes glass only into cullet.
The resulting cullet is used for making glass again if it is transparent or
brown, and other cullet is mixed in secondary concrete products, asphalt
paving and blocks. The cullet, however, is low-value-added products, and its
use in business is limited. On the other hand, Supersol, produced by the
Waste-Glass Recycling Plant, has a wide range of application, such as a light
embanking material in civil engineering, a culture medium or an inorganic soil
amendment in horticulture and agriculture, a purification material in water
purification and an insulator in architecture. It is now used in various areas for
various purposes.
Glass cullet of less than 6 mm in size produced by the glass crusher is further
milled to produce galss powder. Our cullet mill is a tube mill modified for
glass cullet. Its inlet can easily take in glass pieces of different sizes and
shapes, and its outlet discharges glass powder in the order of smaller specific
gravities. The produced glass powder is separated from paper, such as bottle
labels, by a rotary sieve within the two-layer hopper. The cullet mill contains
many alumina balls, which collide with each other to mill cullet. The machine
requires no maintenance for about 2 years. The full-automatic operation of the
cullet mill synchronized with the glass crusher enables a continuous
production of glass powder, and has achieved a stable glass powder
production of the specified grain size and a higher production efficiency
(more than 97%).
THE RECYCLING PROCESS
The recycling starts with the sorting of the mixed plastic.
MIX PLASTIC sounds very dirty because coming from garbage selection and
consequently, it is. Pre-washing is provided mainly when granulator blades can
37 | P a g e
39. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
wear rapidly because of the amount and type of dirt, but here a single shaft
shredder is the machine to use and wearing is not critical.
Mix plastics means plastics collected from garbage automatic or manual selection.
The average composition is what follows:
60 % LDPE
12 % HDPE
8 % PP
5 % Multi-layer packaging films
3 % PS
3 % PET
2 % PVC
7 % Non sortable garbage (Fabrics, cleaning pads, foamed materials, etc.)
It will never be possible to get a material good for film or other fine applications
but only a decent material that goes into injection molding, lumber production and
so on.
In our opinion the only way to make money with this kind of recycling is to get an
high productive line, in other words something with a throughput over 1500
Kg/hour.
The problem here is mainly separation and two, sometimes three, sink-float tanks
are required to deeply separate, at least, olefins from sinkable plastics.
Just because the best way to achieve results is using clean water, each tank should
"separated" from the following one by a washing/drying step so, while material
goes forward, water goes backwards.
38 | P a g e
40. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
This applies to almost all systems, surely to all "no chemical" washing lines but, in
this particular case, it is very important.
Back to the pre-washing matter, it goes by itself this system already has a pre-
washing and nothing else is needed, at least from cleaning point of view. (while the
separation problem remains)
Let the trash plastic dry, wash it by centrifugal force , dry it then chop it into small
pieces again wash it using same force again dry it. Put it in a extruder and extrude
it out, it comes out in the form of strings .now, using a granulator make plastic
palletes check the melt flow index of the whole composite. Now, depending upon
the melt flow index of the composite different accessories are made up .
THE UPCYCLING PROCESS
The recycled plastic is then used for making products like Tiffin boxes, pencil
cases, etc. The plastic is put through machine which has special equipment
attached to it called the Dye. For making different products out of plastic the same
machine can be used but the Dye needs to be different. This Dye is available in
various types and shapes.
The plastic doesn‟t really needs a different process to make different things but a
separate Dye because it needs to be molded in the shape of the desired product
which the Dye does.
These upcycled goods are packed and then distributed.
Our basic distribution channels being the road transport. The selling and
distribution work is outsourced for various cities. Our distribution is mainly be
going through separate stalls in malls and shops like more, reliance mart etc. 1
person is appointed in each city to make sure that these stalls are operating
smoothly and that the representatives are giving sufficient information to our
buyers about the recycled concept. Apart from this we have corporate tie ups with
companies like Cisco, IBM, and Infosys who are going to use our up cycled
products on a regular basis.

41. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
UPCYCLING PLANT
An up cycling plant has nothing very new in the machinery, but the Dye plays a
very important role. To make anything new out of recycled paper all you need is
a different kind of Dye every time. Each Dye has a different shape and size so as
to give your products the desired design.

LIFECYCLE OF A PAPER
This is the lifecycle of a paper how it passes the various stages starting from the
customer where he uses the paper to the final stage where he ends up reusing it
after recycling.
Process
You buy something made of recycled paper.
You put your old paper into your recycling box/bin at home, or take it to a
paper bank.
The paper is taken to a factory to be recycled.
The paper is shredded.
The shredded paper has water added and is made into pulp (which looks a
bit like porridge) and has the ink cleaned off.
The paper goes through large rollers which squeeze out the water and
flatten the paper into big sheets
The new sheets can then be made into new newspapers, books and
magazines to be sold in shops.

In order to develop or improve SRM, an organization needs to implement a
supplier segmentation approach that considers the internal needs of the business,
spend, and also accounts for all risk and business critical factors. Segmentation
uses 4 categories:
Strategic: Those few, most business critical suppliers, on which most
relationship management effort is expended to drive collaborative
engagement with shared benefits and minimization of risk.
Relationship Managed: Those suppliers with some strategic value, and
with whom an element of supplier relationship managed needs to be carried
out.

6.E Technology Utilization
Cullet Mill
Glass cullet of less than 6 mm in size produced by the glass crusher is further
milled to produce glass powder. Our cullet mill is a tube mill modified for glass
cullet. Its inlet can easily take in glass pieces of different sizes and shapes, and
its outlet discharges glass powder in the order of smaller specific gravities. The
produced glass powder is separated from paper, such as bottle labels, by a rotary
sieve within the two-layer hopper. The cullet mill contains many alumina balls,
which collide with each other to mill cullet. The machine requires no
maintenance for about 2 years. The full-automatic operation of the cullet mill
synchronized with the glass crusher enables a continuous production of glass
powder, and has achieved a stable glass powder production of the specified grain
size and a higher production efficiency (more than 97%).
Powder Sifter
Glass powder produced by the cullet mill is sorted according to grain sizes, and
powder of the specified grain size is taken out.
Connection with a powder conveyor allows the continuous sorting of powder. In
addition, because of its closed system, no powder is released into the
surrounding environment.
45 | P a g e
47. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
Powder Conveyors
Powder conveyors transfer glass powder from the cullet mill, the powder sifter,
and the mixing machine.
These are spin flow conveyors based on the principle of whirlpools. They allow
full-automatic, stable powder transfer, while powder transfer was considered
difficult before. Furthermore, since they do not use air flow, the generation of
static electricity is low, and no dust is released into the work environment.
Mixing Machine
Glass powder sorted out by the powder sifter and two types of foaming materials
are automatically measured and mixed. These materials. which are different in
quantity, specific gravity and shape, are thus uniformly mixed.
The mixing machine is of sequential batch type and can produce 350 kg of
powder mixture in a batch process. In addition, the whole process of feeding,
measuring and adding the two types of foaming materials is fully automated,
allowing the stable production of glass powder mixture in uniform quality.
Baking Machine
Powder mixture produced by the mixing machine is baked to make a light
porous foamed material, or Supersol. The baking machine consists of a baking
section and an annealing section, each of which has a light, insulating and
fireproof structure. The machine also has a wire-mesh belt conveyor to allow
continuous baking.
46 | P a g e
48. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
Furthermore, the baking machine is equipped with 16 burners to carry out the
processes of preheating, softening, baking and foaming.
Supersol Sizer
Produced Supersol blocks are broken and sorted into specified sizes.
The breaker has breaking blades whose shape and material have been
specifically designed for Supersol production, allowing efficient breaking and
sorting.

7.E Distribution
Our operational unit is in Kengeri, Bangalore. For distribution we are
concentrating on metro cities namely Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad,
Mumbai,Bangalore,Bhubhaneswar,Ahmedabad and Chennai.
The most important „P‟ of marketing mix when we talk in terms of managing
diverse geographical area is Place. Place encompasses distribution channel.
The best distribution channel will have the right mode of transport which will take
into consideration ease of distribution, timeliness, cost rationalization. For long
distance transportation railways or air links is most preferred.
Air links have the advantage of time reduction but are costly so in case of waste
recycling railways is seen to be the most preferred.

58. Business Plan: Recycling & Upcycling Plant
Since our business involves two major tasks i.e. recycling and upcycling of
plastic, paper and metal , it constitutes of a number of processes and hence a
formal structure for our organization should be suitable.
The lower level management consists of the shop floor workers which
include skilled and the unskilled workers. They are involved in the collection
of the waste which is then chemically treated and is transferred to the
recycling plants. This recycled plastic, paper, glass, fiber and metal is then
transferred to our upcycling plant for further treatment. The lower level
management is supposed to report to their respective supervisors which are in
turn coordinated by the middle management.
While on the other hand, the operations department consists of:
HR DEPARTMENT
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
MARKETING DEPARTMENT
SALES AND DISTRIBUTION DEPARTMENT
These are the managerial departments which are responsible for controlling
the HR, Marketing, Finance, Sales and distribution in the organization.
The Middle level management directs, supervises and coordinates the
working of the operations and production department.
It resorts to the problems faced by these departments and facilitates the
smooth functioning.
It keeps an account and record of the work done.
It ensures that the proposed targets of every department are met
successfully, on time.
Finally,the middle level management is supposed to report all the details to
the top level management in the most comprehensive manner.

Training and Development procedures
Each new employee who is selected for the job goes through a rigorous one week

working on the machine.
For the clerical work force here, the supervisors train the subordinates in relation to
the work to be done. Every month a mentoring session is conducted, so as to revise
the employees and workers about the company goals and objectives. The
