PREFACE
The present project is undertaken as a part of my Internship with the Shree Cement
Ltd. The summer internship constitutes a very important part of the course curriculum as it
gives the students a chance to learn and incorporate in them the ways of working in the
corporate environment.
The increasing emphasis on branding has resulted in immense pressure and
competition among the producers and as a result of which retailer has been found toimportant mediator to increase the market share and sale of the product. Due to this,
Companies are eager to measure the satisfaction level of the retailers towards their brands.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This project deals with the assessment of satisfaction level of the retailers towards the
Shree Cement Brand in terms of quality, and factor that are responsible for the satisfaction
level. We have focused our research on Shree Cement due to the slow growth rate instead of
having huge market possibility.
With the help of Questionnaire we have analyzed each and every factor that is
responsible for the satisfaction level of the retailer toward Shree Cement. Study also includedthe market demand for the cement, market share, and competition analysis to know the exact
position of cement in the market.
We have focused toward retailer scheme and its impact on the retailer and sale
promotion of the cement.
Most important factor that are responsible are profitability margin , problem related to
quality, problem related to the monetary coupon , problem related to the disbursement
amount all these factor really hampering the retailers relationship with the company. We
have also discussed the challenges in front of the company and its recommendation.

Introduction
Fast rising Government Expenditure on Infrastructure sector in India has resulted a
higher demand of cement in the country. In the same direction, participation of larger
companies in the sector has increased.
For raising efficiency in the sector, the Planning Commission of India in the 10th plan has
formed a 'Working Group on Cement Industry'.
There are a total number of 125 large cement plants and more than 300 small cement plants
operating in India presently.
1. Indian cement industry dates back to 1914 - first unit was set-up at Porbandar with a
capacity of 1000 tones.
2. Currently India is ranked second in the world with an installed capacity of 114.2
million tonnes.Industry estimated at around Rs. 18,000 crores (US $ 4185 mn)
3. Current per capita consumption - 85 kgs. as against world standard of 256 kgs.
4. Cement grade limestone in the country reported to be 89 bt. A large proportion
however is unexploitable.
5. 55-60% of the cost of production are government controlled
6. Cement sales primarily through a distribution channel. Bulk sales account for < 1% of
the total cement produced.
7. Ready mix concrete a relatively nascent market in India

Cement Industry in India
Cement Industry in India is on a roll at the moment. Driven by a booming real estate
sector, global demand and increased activity in infrastructure development such as state and
national highways, the cement industry has witnessed tremendous growth. Production
capacity has gone up and top cement companies of the world are vying to enter the Indian
market, thereby sparking off a spate of mergers and acquisitions. Indian cement industry is
currently ranked second in the world.
The origins of Indian cement industry can be traced back to 1914 when the first unit
was set-up at Porbandar with a capacity of 1000 tonnes. Today cement industry comprises of
125 large cement plants and more than 300 mini cement plants. The Cement Corporation of
India, which is a Central Public Sector Undertaking, has 10 units. There are 10 large cement
plants owned by various State Governments. Cement industry in India has also made
tremendous strides in technological upgradation and assimilation of latest technology.
Presently, 93 per cent of the total capacity in the industry is based on modern and
environment-friendly dry process technology. The induction of advanced technology has
helped the industry immensely to conserve energy and fuel and to save materials
substantially. Indian cement industry has also acquired technical capability to produce
different types of cement like Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement
(PPC), Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement (PBFS), Oil Well Cement, Rapid Hardening
Portland Cement, Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement, White Cement etc. Some of the major
clusters of cement industry in India are: Satna (Madhya Pradesh), Chandrapur (Maharashtra),
Gulbarga (Karnataka), Yerranguntla (Andhra Pradesh), Nalgonda (Andhra Pradesh), Bilaspur
(Chattisgarh), and Chandoria (Rajasthan).
Cement industry in India is currently going through a consolidation phase. Some
examples of consolidation in the Indian cement industry are: Gujarat Ambuja taking a stake
of 14 per cent in ACC, and taking over DLF Cements and Modi Cement; ACC taking over
IDCOL; India Cement taking over Raasi Cement and Sri Vishnu Cement; and Grasim's
acquisition of the cement business of L&T, Indian Rayon's cement division, and Sri Digvijay
Cements. Foreign cement companies are also picking up stakes in large Indian cement
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 10/96
companies. Swiss cement major Holcim has picked up 14.8 per cent of the promoters' stake
in Gujarat Ambuja Cements (GACL). Holcim's acquisition has led to the emergence of two
major groups in the Indian cement industry, the Holcim-ACC-Gujarat Ambuja Cements
combine and the Aditya Birla group through Grasim Industries and Ultratech Cement.
Lafarge, the French cement major has acquired the cement plants of Raymond and Tisco.
Italy based Italcementi has acquired a stake in the K.K. Birla promoted Zuari Industries'
cement plant in Andhra Pradesh, and German cement company Heidelberg Cement has
entered into an equal joint-venture agreement with S P Lohia Group controlled Indo-Rama
Cement.
Issues concerning Cement Industry
High Transportation Cost is affecting the competitiveness of the cement industry.
Freight accounts for 17% of the production cost. Road is the preferred mode for
transportation for distances less than 250km. However, industry is heavily dependant
on roads for longer distances too as the railway infrastructure is not adequate.
Cement industry is highly capital intensive industry and nearly 55-60% of the inputs
are controlled by the government.
There is regional imbalance in the distribution of cement industry. Limestone
availability in pockets has led to uneven capacity additions.
Coal availability and quality is also affecting the production.
Outlook
Outlook for the cement industry looks quite bright. Given the sustained growth in the real
estate sector, the government's emphasis on infrastructure and increased global demand, it
looks as if the juggernaut of cement industry would continue to roll on the path of growth.
With the increased government expenditure on infrastructure, the demand for cement
in India has increased. The first cement industry was set up in 1914 in Porbandar. The fact
that India is the India is the second largest producer of cement in the world speaks volumes of
the cement industry in India.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 11/96
Current Status of Cement Industries in India
Cement industry is growing at a rapid rate of around 10% annually. The Indian
cement industry has 130 large cement plants and 365 mini cement plants, whose total
capacity is 165 MT per annum. Large cement plants nearly contribute 94% of the total
capacity. Though the cement industry is developing at a fast rate, per capita consumption of
cement in India is only 150 kilograms per person, which is even less than one third of China's
per capita consumption.
Global Cement Companies in India
The financial performance of the cement industry has also recorded impressive
growth. The growth of the Indian Cement companies has also attracted global companies to
India. Top global companies such as Lafarge of France, Holcim of Switzerland, Italcementi
of Italy and Heidelberg Cements of Germany have already entered in India. Their investment
in the Indian cement sector is also giving a boost to the Indian economy. There are about 11
types of cement produced in India. They are Clinker Cement, Ordinary Portland Cement,
Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement, Portland Pozzolana Cement, Rapid Hardening Portland
Cement, Oil Well Cement, White Cement, Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement etc.
Future of Cement Industry
It is expected that in the coming fiscal years the demand of cement is going to be
around 225 MT. The government is also going to spend more on infrastructure and so it is
beyond doubt that in the coming years the future of the cement industry is very bright. Some
of the leading cement manufacturers of India are Binani Cement, Indian Cements Ltd,
Madras Cement, Ultra tech Cement, Ambuja Cements, Prism Cements etc.
Cement industry in India has been identified as one of the major air polluting industries for
which the Central Pollution Control Board evolved emission regulations for different plant
production capacities. The emission standards are applicable for all sections of production in
cement plant, such as raw mill, kiln, coal mill, clinker cooler, cement mill etc. In order to
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 12/96
combat emission from these sources and comply with the standards, cement industries are
installing different types of pollution control devices. In this context, it was felt necessary to
undertake a study on the "cost benefit analysis of various dust control equipment in cement
industry" to establish the economic viability of various dust collectors used in cement plants
of varying capacities. The study was carried out by the National Council for Cement and
Building Materials (NCB), Ballabhgarh in association with the Central Board. Findings of the
study form the basis of this report. Dust collectors for different.sections have been
recommended depending on the requirrnents of the emission regulation and their pay-back
periods are also brought out in the report.
Indian Cement Industry on Growth Trajectory…….
The Cement industry has continued its growth trajectory over the past seven years.
Domestic cement demand growth has surpassed the economic growth rate of the country for
the past couple of years. The growth rate of cement demand over the past five years at 8.37 %
was higher than the rate of growth of supply at 4.84% as also the rate of growth of capacity
addition during the same period. Demand for cement in the country is expected to continue its buoyant ride on the back of robust economic growth and infrastructure development in the
country.
The key drivers for cement demand are real estate sector, infrastructure projects and
industrial expansion projects. Among these, real estate sector is the key driver and accounted
for almost 55% in FY 07.
During the period FY 03 – 07, capacity additions in the country (30.6 mn tonnes)
were at a slower rate compared to demand growth leading to higher average capacity
utilization rates from 81.3% to 93.8% during the same period. This has exerted pressure on
average prices which have increased from Rs. 156 per bag in FY 03 to Rs. 216 per bag in FY
07. In December 2007, prices stood at Rs. 245 - Rs. 250 per bag.
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 13/96
Low capacity addition coupled with higher utilization rate also led to increase in
proportion of production of blended cements in product mix. Blended cement accounted for
68% of product mix in FY 07 as compared to 49% in FY 03.
Cement is a bulky commodity and cannot be easily transported over long distances
making it a regional market place, with the nation being divided into five regions. Each
region is characterised by its own demand-supply dynamics. The Southern region dominated
the cement consumption at 44.5 mn tonnes in FY 07, accounting for about 30% of total
domestic cement consumption. During FY 03-07, Southern region has witnessed highest
CAGR of cement demand growth at 10.4% followed by Northern and Eastern regions at
8.9% and 9%, respectively.
Over the past five years, cost of cement production has grown at a CAGR of 8.4%.
Also, the producers have been able to pass on the hike in cost to consumers on the back of
increased demand. Average realizations have increased from Rs. 1,880 per tonne in FY 03 to
Rs. 3,133 per tonne in FY 07, at a CAGR of 13.6%, which has been reflected in higher profit
margins of the industry.
To reduce the cost of production, the industry has focused on captive power
generation. Proportion of cement production through captive power route has increased over
the years. Also, cement movement by rail has increased over the years.
Market share of top five players in the industry has increased from 42% in FY 02 to
56% in FY 07. In FY 07, Holcim group captured a leadership position with market share of
22.6% followed by Aditya Vikram Birla group at 19.4%.
Domestic Cement industry is highly insulated from global cement markets. Exports
have been constant at about 6% of total cement demand for past few years. With GoI
intervention, making cement duty free, cement is being imported from neighbouring
countries. However, due to logistics issues and lack of port handling capabilities, imports of
cement will remain negligible and do not pose a threat to domestic industry.
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 14/96
Cement demand is expected to remain buoyant driven by boost in construction sector
in the country. As per estimates, investment of USD 25 bn is required in urban housing, USD
450 bn will be required in infrastructure related projects and industrial expansion projects
would witness investments of USD 88 over the next five years.
We estimate domestic cement demand to grow at a CAGR of approximately 10% for
the next 5 years. The current tight demand - supply situation is expected to extend up to end
of calendar year 2008 owing to delays in capacity expansion programmes by various
companies. We expect prices to remain firm till the end of CY2008 due to tight demand -
supply situation and increase in input costs. Thereafter as new capacities come in, we may
witness a softening in prices in some regions.
The report elucidates facts on the Indian Cement industry, supplemented by the latest
Statistics. Emphasis is laid on the following topics to accomplish the report:
-Performance of the Cement industry over past five years with evaluation of trends of
capacity addition, production and capacity utilisation.
-Evaluation of Overall demand – supply scenario in the country covering trend of domestic
consumption and exports.
-Regional dynamics of industry depicted by detailed analysis of demand – supply situation in
the five distinct regions in India.
-Influence of various cement demand driving sectors like real estate, infrastructure and
industrial projects covering region-wide demand drivers.
-Changing scenario of product mix – override of blended cements on OPC.
-Cost analysis with emphasis on power & fuel cost, RM cost, Freight cost and evaluation of
average cost of production, average realizations and margins of the industry.
-Our perspective on region-wide future capacity addition, demand estimation and
identification of deficit/surplus regions in the country.
-Operating & financial performance of top players in the industry along with future outlook.

SHREE CEMENT LIMITED
CODE OF CONDUCT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
PHILOSOPHY
Shree Cement Ltd is a professionally managed company. The company always believes in
complete transparency and discharge of the fiduciary responsibilities which has been
assumed by Directors as well as by the Senior Management Executives and/or Staff.
Therefore in order to ensure the continuity thereof though, not written but otherwise
ingrained, the Board of Directors has approved of the following Code of Conduct for all
Directors as well as for the Senior Management Executive and/or personnel and other
employees.
Community And Environment
Shree‟s community concern extends from direct assistance to safe and dependable
operations for its members and the environment.
Markets classification
Markets States
Primary Rajasthan
Secondary Delhi, Punjab, JK, Haryana, Western U.P. and Uttaranchal
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 19/96
Tertiary Gujarat, M.P. and Central U.P.
Markets
Each cement manufacturer has a primary and secondary market. The former is one,
which is the closest to the production centre where it fetches the best realizations while the
latter is usually at a distance where realizations are lower.
In an industry where consumer loyalties change every rupee, Shree‟s biggest achievement
was that it built an emotional bond with its stakeholders.
This transpired as a result of a number of initiatives:
The company positioned its brands around longer life (durability), emphasizing
product longevity.
The company innovated the launch of corrosion resistant grade like Red Oxide
Cement, winning innovations in a staid industry.
Rajasthan is India‟s largest cement producing state and Shree‟s is the largest single
location plant in northern India. The company‟s northern-most positioning within Rajasthan
makes it the closest among all Rajasthan manufacturers to Delhi, Haryana and some parts of
Punjab, a significant cost edge. The company enjoys a market share of about 11 per cent innorth India.
Challenges
Due to the nature of the product - bulky, low priced - it became increasingly difficult
to sell the product across a large territory. Besides, higher realizations in distant territories did
not mean that the gain would accrue to the company since the incremental freight would
neutralize the price advantage. As a result, it became important to arrive at a median between
realizations and distribution costs and earn a comfortable margin.

ERP implementation
Network that delivers online, real-time access to information and processes. Towards
this end, the company is adopting the Oracle e-Business Suite ERP with Tata Consultancy
Services as the implementation partner. Imbibing the best practices of companies worldwide,
this ERP suite will impact all processes of the company, right from procurement, through
operations, to sales and distribution. It involves a complete re-engineering of business
processes to make them more high-performing and tuned towards the global order.
building and environment, health and safety functions.
CREATING LEADERS AT EVERY LEVEL
Shree Cement emphasises that creating leaders not just at the organisational apex but
at every level results in strong sense of emotional ownership. Thus the employees are
delegated with responsibility and authority to adopt one Electric motor and related equipment
for keeping watch and care resulting in energy conservation, thus generating multiple CEO's
in the Energy Management System.
RECOGNITION AND REWARD SCHEME
The management believes in the self-actualisation of its employees by injecting the
concept of Human resource Development in all its policies and strategies. By recognition and
reward the employees are motivated to give their best in the interests of the organization in
particular and for the society in general. So many schemes of recognition and rewards are
given to boost the morale and motivate the employees.
According to Managing Director of the company, morale management is considered
to be more challenging than material management. According to him it is important to keep
walking around and congratulating the teams for their small victories. Efforts and their
success stories are disclosed to all in special functions so that other employees may take
inspiration from them. Employees are rewarded for doing exemplary work in the field of
reducing/ eliminating breakdown, in-house development, better house keeping, and reduction
in raw material, fuel, power and wastage. Cash awards and Certificates of honour have been
given in a function.
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 21/96
For example a scrapper chain of reclaimer II is to be replaced which takes 80 hours. The team
completed this task in minimum possible time with the result that the reclaimer was put into
operation in just 36.5 hours. The team was rewarded with a cash amount of Rs. 11,000/- and
certificate of honour.

MEANING OF WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital refers to the management of current assets.
Working capital refer to that part of total capital which is used for carrying out the routine or
regular business operation. In other words, it is the amount of funds used for financing the
day-to day operation. In short, it is the capital with which the business is worked over.
Thus, the capital invested and locked up in various current assets , such as stocks of raw
material, work in progress , stocks of finished goods account receivable and cash and bank
balances constitutes the working capital.
Working capital may be regarded as life blood of a business. Its effective provision can do
much to ensure the success of a business while its in provision can do much to ensure the
success of a business while its in efficient management can lead not only to loss of profits but
also to the ultimate downfall of what otherwise might be considered as a promising concerns.
> According to shoo-in, “Working Capital is the amount of funds necessary to cover the cost
of operating the enterprise”. Working Capital is also known as Revolving or Circulating
Capital.
> According to Genesterberg, “Circulating Capital means current assets of a company that are
changed in the ordinary cause of business from one to another form. Example: From cash to
inventory, inventories to bills receivable and bills receivable to cash.

Concept of working capital
There are five concepts of working capital :-
o Gross Working Capital
o Net Working Capital
o Negative working capital
o Permanent working capital
o Variable working capital
On the basis of the components or items comprised in working capital, working capital can be
classified into the following types:
Gross Working capital: Simply called as working capital, refers to the firms investment
in current assets. Current assets which can be converted in to cash with in the accounting year
(or operating cycle) and includes cash, short term securities, debtors, Bills receivable andstock (inventory) .
Net Working Capital: Refers to the difference between current assets and current
liabilities. Current liabilities are those claims of outsiders, which are expected to mature for
payment with in a year and include creditors, Bills payable and outsider‟s expenses.
Negative working capital or working capital deficit: means the excess of current
liabilities over the current assets. It accurse when the current liabilities exceed the current
assets
Permanent working capital or fixed working capital: refer to the minimum
amount of investment in current assets required throughout the year for carrying out the
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 26/96
business. In other words , it is the amount of working capital which remains in the business
permanently in one form or other.
Variable working capital or fluctuating working capital: refer to the amount of
working capital which goes on fluctuating or changing from time to time with the change in
the volume of business activities.
Ratios :
The term ratio simply means one number expressed in terms of another. It describes in
mathematical terms the quantitative relationship that exists between two numbers.
NEED FOR WORKING CAPITAL
Every business undertaking requires funds for two purposes, investments in fixed assets &
investment in current assets.
Funds required for investing in inventory, debtors & other current assets keep changing in
shape & volume. Company has some cash in the beginning; this cash may be the source of
raw material, keeping the labor cost & other overheads. These three combined would
generate work in progress, which will be converted into finished goods on the completion of
the production process into debtors & when the debtor pay, the firm may generate cash.
Working capital is needed for sustaining (i.e., maintaining) the sales activities. If adequate
working capital is not maintain for this period ,the firm will not be able to sustain or maintainthe sales , since it may not be in a position to purchase raw material and pay wages and other
expenses ands produce the goods required for the sales.
NATURE OF WORKING CAPITAL
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 27/96
In ordinary parlance, Working Capital is taken to be the fund available for meeting day-to-
day requirements of enterprises. It cannot be denied that a part of the fixed or permanent
capital is invested in assets, which are kept in the business or for a long period for the
purpose of earning profit. These are usually known as fixed assets viz. Land & buildings,
plant & machinery, furniture & fitting & intangibles like goodwill, patents, trademarks &
long-term investment.
Another part of permanent capital left in the business for supporting the day-to-day normal
operation is known as the “Working Capital”. This Working Capital generates the important
element of cost viz. Material, wages & expenses. These cost usually lead to production &
sales in case of manufacturing concerns & sales alone in others. These costs occur gradually
in a flow & do not come into being abruptly at a given moment.
Hence the initial investment of cash as working capital for this specific purpose has to be
continued until the sales revenue commences flowing in substantially & in a regular way.
From this stage the business is found to acquire a momentum of its own. The flow of revenue
is expected to continue to replace the cost lost in its day-to-day out flow for the generation of
the revenue mentioned above.
SOURCE OF WORKING CAPITAL
The financial manager is always interested in obtaining the working capital at the right time,
at a reasonable cost and at the best possible favorable terms. A part of the working capital
investment are permanent investments is fixed assets. The following is snapshot of various
source of working capital.
Sources of working capital divided into two
• Long – term
• Short – term

WORKING CAPITAL CYCLE:-
The working capital of a concern goes on changing in shape and volume. For Instance, a
concern may have some cash in the beginning. The cash may be used by the concern for the
purpose of purchase of raw material, payment of wages and other expenses‟. These elements
of cost or items of expenses, raw material , wages and overheads , will result in work- in-
progress during the process of manufacture. On the in compilation of the production process,
the work- in – progress becomes finished goods.
Meaning
The length of time involved in this cycle of conversion of cash into raw material, raw
material into work-in progress, work-in-progress into finished goods, finished goods into
debtors and debtors into cash again is called the operating cycle or working capital cycle of
the firm, in other words, it is period between the date raw material are purchased and the date
the sale proceeds of finished goods are realized by concern.
INTER-DEPENDENCE AMOUNG COMPONENTS OF WORKING CAPITAL
OPERATING CYCLE :
A company starting with cash purchase raw materials, components etc., on a cash or credit
basis. These materials will be converted into finished goods after undergoing various stages
of work-in-process. For this purpose the company has to make payments towards wages,
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 30/96
salaries and manufacturing costs. Payments to suppliers have to be made on purchases in the
case of cash purchases and on the expiry of the credit purchases. Further, the company has to
meet other operating costs such as selling and distribution costs, general administration costs
and non-operating costs described as financial costs (interest on borrowed capital). In case the
company sells its finished goods on cash basis, it will pass through one more stage, viz,
accounts receivable and gets back cash along with profit on expiry of credit period. Once
again the cash will be used for the purchase of materials and / or payments to suppliers and
the whole cycle is termed as working capital or operating cycle repeats itself. This process
indicates the dependents of each stage or components of working capital on its previous stage
or component.
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Introduction
Working capital management is one of the most important aspects of financial management.
It forms a major function of the finance manager.
Meaning :
Working capital management means management or administrating of all aspect of working
capital, i.e., currents assets and currents liabilities.
In other words of Smith, “working capital management is concerned with the problems that
arise in attempting to manage the current assets, the current liabilities and the inter-relationship that exists between them”.
BASIC OBJECTIVE OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT :
The basic objective of working capital management is to manage the firm‟s working capital
(i.e., currents assets and currents liabilities) in such a way that a satisfactory level of working
capital (i.e., neither excessive nor inadequate working capital) is maintained. This isnecessary because, if the working capital is excessive or large, the liquidity position of the
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 31/96
firm would, no doubt, improve, but its profitability would be adversely affected, as funds
would remain idle. Conversely, if the working capital is too small, the, profitability of the
firm may improve, but the liquidity position of the firm would be adversely affected.
Advantages of working capital:
• It helps the business concern in maintaining the goodwill.
• It can arrange loans from banks and others on easy and favorable terms. • It enables a concern to face business crisis in emergencies such as depression.
• It creates an environment of security, confidence, and over all efficiency in a business.
• It helps in maintaining solvency of the business.
Disadvantages of working capital:
• Rate of return on investments also fall with the shortage of working capital.
• Excess working capital may result into over all inefficiency in organization.
• Excess working capital means idle funds which earn no profits.
• Inadequate working capital can not pay its short term liabilities in time.

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Ratio Analysis is a powerful tool o financial analysis. Alexander Hall first presented it in
1991 in Federal Reserve Bulletin. Ratio Analysis is a process of comparison of one figure
against other, which makes a ratio and the appraisal of the ratios of the ratios to make proper
analysis about the strengths and weakness of the firm‟s operations. The term ratio refers to
the numerical or quantitative relationship between two accounting figures. Ratio analysis of
financial statements stands for the process of determining and presenting the relationship of
items and group of items in the statements.
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 39/96
Ratio analysis can be used both in trend analysis and static analysis. A creditor would like to
know the ability of the company, to meet its current obligation and therefore would think of
current and liquidity ratio and trend of receivable.
Major tool of financial are thus ratio analysis and Funds Flow analysis. Financial analysis is
the process of identifying the financial strength and weakness of the firm by properly
establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet and the profit account
The financial analyst may use ratio in two ways. First he may compare a present ratio with
the ratio of the past few years and project ratio of the next year or so. This will indicate the
trend in relation that particular financial aspect of the enterprise. Another method of using
ratios for financial analysis is to compare a financial ratio for the company with for industry
as a whole, or for other, the firm‟s ability to meet its current obligation. It measures the firm‟s
liquidity. The greater the ratio, the greater the firms liquidity and vice-versa.
A ratio can be defined as a numerical relationship between two numbers expressed in terms
of (a) proportion (b) rate (c) percentage. It is also define as a financial tool to determine an
interpret numerical relationship based on financial statement yardstick that provides a
measure of relationship between two variable or figures.
Meaning and Importance:
Ratio analysis is concerned to be one of the important financial tools for appraisal of financial
condition, efficiency and profitability of business. Here ratio analysis id useful from
following objects.
1. Short term and long term planning
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 40/96
2. Measurement and evaluation of financial performance
3. Stud of financial trends
4. Decision making for investment and operations
5. Diagnosis of financial ills
6. Providing valuable insight into firms financial position or picture
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF RATIO
ANALYSIS :
Advantages:
The following are the main advantages derived of ratio analysis, which are obtained from the
financial statement via Profit & Loss Account and Balance Sheet.
a) The analysis helps to grasp the relationship between various items in the financial
statements.
b) They are useful in pointing out the trends in important items and thus help the management
to forecast
c) With the help of ratios, inter firm comparison made to evolve future market strategies.
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 41/96
d) Out of ratio analysis standard ratios are computed and comparison of actual with standards
reveals the variances. This helps the management to take corrective action.
e) The communication of that has happened between two accounting the dates are revealed
effective
Action.
f) Simple assessments of liquidity, solvency profitability efficiency of the firm are indicted by
ratio analysis. Ratios meet comparisons much more valid.
Disadvantages:
Ratio analysis is to calculate and easy to understand and such statistical calculation
stimulation thinking and develop understanding. But there are certain drawbacks and dangers
they are.
i)There is a trendy to use to ratio analysis profusely.
ii)Accumulation of mass data obscured rather than clarifies relationship.
iii) Wrong relationship and calculation can lead to wrong conclusion.
1. In case of inter firm comparison no two firm are similar in size, age and product unit.(for
example) one firm may purchase the asset at lower price with a higher return and another
firm witch purchase the asset at asset at higher price will have a lower return)
2. Both the inter period and inter firm comparison are affected by price level changes. A
change in price level can affect the validity of ratios calculated for different time period.
3. Unless varies terms like group profit, operating profit, net profit, current asset, current
liability etc., are properly define, comparison between two variables become meaningless.4. Ratios are simple to understand and easy to calculate. The analyst should not take
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 42/96
decision should not take decision on a single ratio. He has to take several ratios into
consideration.
STANDARDS OF COMPARISION:
1. Ratios calculated from the past financial statements of the same firm.
2. Ratio developed using the projected or perform financial statement of the same firm
3. Ratios of some selected firm especially the most progressive and successful, at the same
point of time.
4. Ratios of the industry to which the firm belongs.
IMPORTANCE OF RATIO ANALYSIS
In the preceding discussion in the form, we have illustrated the compulsion and implication
of important ratios that can be calculated from the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss account
of a firm. As a tool of financial management, they are of crucial significance. The importance
of ratio analysis lies in the fact and enables the drawing of inferences regarding the
performance of a firm. Ration analysis is a relevant in assessing the performance of a firm in
respect of the following aspect.
CAUTION IN USING RATIOS:
1. It is difficult to decide on the proper bases of comparison.
2. The comparison rendered difficult because of difference in situation of two companies or
of one-company for different years.
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 43/96
3. The price level change make the interpretation of ratios invalid
4. The difference in the definition of items in the balance sheet and Profit & Loss statement
make the interpretation of ratios difficult.
5. The ratios calculated at a point of time are less informative and defective as they suffer
from sort term changes.
6. The ratios are generally calculated from the past financial statement and thus are no
indicators of future.
CURRENT RATIO : The relationship of current assets to current liabilities is known as
current ratio. It is also known as banker‟s ratio or working capital ratio.
1. CURRENT RATIO
It is relationship between firm‟s current assets and current liability.

assumes current assets could be converted into cash to meet current liabilities.
It is often accepted that current assets should be 2times the current liabilities.
Current ratio during the year 2005-2006 was 1.58 and its come down in 1.46 at 2006-2007
and its again decreased 2007 – 2008 and 2008-09 and its slightly increased in 1.32 at 2009-10.

CASH MANAGEMENT
Introduction:
Cash management is one of the key areas of working capital management. Cash is the liquid
current asset. The main duty of the finance manager is to provide adequate cash to all
segments of the organization. The important reason for maintaining cash balances is the
transaction motive. A firm enters into variety of transactions to accomplish its objectives
which have to be paid for in the form of cash.

Meaning of cash:
The term “cash” with reference to cash management used in two senses. In a narrower sense
it includes coins, currency notes, cheques, bank drafts held by a firm. n a broader sense it also
includes “near -cash assets” such as marketable securities and time deposits with banks.
Objectives of cash management:
There are two basic objectives of cash management. They are-
To meet the cash disbursement needs as per the payment schedule. To minimize the amount locked up as cash balances.
Basic problems in Cash Management:
Cash management involves the following four basic problems.
Controlling level of cash
Controlling inflows of cash
Controlling outflows of cash and
Optimum investment of surplus cash.
Determining safety level for cash:
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 49/96
The finance manager has to take into account the minimum cash balance that the firm must
keep to avoid risk or cost of running out of funds. Such minimum level may be termed as
“safety level of cash”. The finance manager determines the safety level of cash separately
both for normal periods and peak periods. Under both cases he decides about two basic
factors. They are-
Desired days of cash:
It means the number of days for which cash balance should be sufficient to cover payments.
Average daily cash flows:
This means average amount of disbursements which will have to be made daily.
Criteria for investment of surplus cash:
In most of the companies there are usually no formal written instructions for investing the
surplus cash. It is left to the discretion and judgment of the finance manager. While
exercising such judgment, he usually takes into consideration the following factors-
Security:
This can be ensured by investing money in securities whose price remains more or less
stable. Liquidity:
This can be ensured by investing money in short term securities including short term fixed
deposits with banks.
Yield:
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 50/96
Most corporate managers give less emphasis to yield as compared to security and liquidity of
investment. So they prefer short term government securities for investing surplus cash.
Maturity:
It will be advisable to select securities according to their maturities so the finance manager
can maximize the yield as well as maintain the liquidity of investments.
Cash Management in SHREE CEMENT :
The cash management is carried out in seaways by CTM (Corporate Treasury Management).
CTM is a commonly followed procedure in most of the companies.

RECEIVABLES MANAGEMENT
Introduction:
Receivables constitute a significant portion of the total assets of the business. When a
firm seller goods or services on credit, the payments are postponed to future dates and
receivables are created. If they sell for cash no receivables created.
Meaning:
Receivable are asset accounts representing amounts owed to the firm as a result of sale of
goods or services in the ordinary course of business.
Purpose of receivables:
Accounts receivables are created because of credit sales. The purpose of receivables is
directly connected with the objectives of making credit sales. The objectives of credit sales
are as follows-
Achieving growth in sales.
Increasing profits.
Meeting competition.
The main factors that affect the size of the receivables are-
Level of sales.
Credit period.
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 54/96
Cash discount.
Costs of maintaining receivables:
The costs with respect to maintenance of receivables are as follows-
Capital costs:
This is because there is a time lag between the sale of goods to customers and the payment by
them. The firm has, therefore to arrange for additional funds to meet its obligations.
Administrative costs:
Firm incur this cost for manufacturing accounts receivables in the form of salaries to the staff
kept for maintaining accounting records relating to customers.
Collection costs:
The firm has to incur costs for collecting the payments from its credit customers.
Defaulting costs:
The firm may not able to recover the over dues because of the inability of customers. Such
debts treated as bad debts.
Receivables management:
Receivables are direct result of credit sale. The main objective of receivables management is
to promote sales and profits until that point is reached where the ROI in further funding of
receivables is less than the cost of funds raised to finance that additional credit (i.e.; cost of
capital). Increase in receivables also increases chances of bad debts. Thus, creation of receivables is beneficial as well as dangerous. Finally management of accounts receivable
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 55/96
means as the process of making decisions relating to investment of funds in this asset which
result in maximizing the overall return on the investment of the firm.
Receivables management and Ratio Analysis:
Ratio Analysis is one of the important techniques that can be used to check the efficiency
with which receivables management is being managed by a firm. The most important ratios
for receivables management are as follows-
DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO: -
Debtors constitute an important constituent of current assets and therefore the quality of the
debtors to a great extent determines a firm‟s liquidity. It shows how quickly receivables or
debtors are converted into cash. In other words, the DTR is a test of the liquidity of the
debtors of a firm. The liquidity of firm‟s receivables can be examined in two ways they are
DTR and Average Collection Period.
It indicates the number time debtors turned over each year. Generally the higher value of
debtor‟s turnover shows high efficiency to manage the credit management.

INTERPRETATION
Debtors constitute an important constituent of current assets and therefore the quality of the
debtors to a great extent determines a firm‟s liquidity. It shows how quickly receivables or
debtors are converted into cash. In other words, the DTR is a test of the liquidity of the
debtors of a firm. The liquidity of firm‟s receivables can be examined in two ways they are
DTR and Average Collection Period. .The higher the ratio, the better it is, since it would
indicate that debts are being collected promptly.
In the year 2009 - 2010 the debt is 1.59 comparing to the previous year came
downwards.

DEBTOR TURNOVER RATIO
DEBT COLLECTION PERIOD
Debtor‟s collection period is nothing but the period required to collect the money from the
customers after the credit sales. A speed collection reduces the length of operating cycle and
vice versa. The more quickly the customers pay, the less risk from bad debts, the lower the
expenses of collection and more liquid the nature of of this asset.
It indicates the speed with which debts are collected.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Introduction:
Inventories are stock of the product a company is manufacturing for sale and components.
That makeup the products. The various forms in which inventories exist in a manufacturing
company are: Raw-materials, work-in-process, finished goods.
Raw-Materials: - Are those basic inputs that are converted into finished products
through the manufacturing process. Raw-materials inventories are those units, which
have been purchased and stored for future production.
Work-In-Process inventories are semi-manufactured products. The represent products
that need more work before they become finished products for sale.
Finished Goods inventories are those completely manufactured products, which are
ready for sale. Stocks of raw-materials and work-in-process facilitate production
which stock of finished goods is required for smooth marketing operations. These
inventories serve as a link between production and consumption of goods.
Stores and spares are also maintained by some firms. This includes office and plant
cleaning materials like soaps, brooms, oil, fuel, light, bulbs etc. These materials do
not directly enter in production. But are necessary for production process.
Need to holding inventory
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 67/96
The question of managing inventories arises only when the company holds inventories.
Maintaining inventories involves tying up of the company's funds and incurrence of storage
and handling cost. It is expensive to maintain inventories, why does company hold
inventories? There are three general motives for holding inventories.
1. Transaction Motive: - Emphasizes the need to maintain inventories to facilitate
smooth production and sales operations.
2. Precautionary motive: - Necessitates holding of inventories to guard against the risk
of unpredictable changes in demand and supply forces and other factors.
3. Speculative motive: - Influences the decision to increase or reduce inventory levels to
take advantages of price influences.
A company should maintain adequate stock of materials for a continuous supply to the
factory for the uninterrupted production. It is not possible for a company to procure raw
materials whenever it is needed. A time lag exists between demand for materials and its
supply. Also there exists uncertainty in procuring raw materials in time on many occasions.
The procurement of materials may be delayed because of such factors as strike, transport
disruption or short supply. Therefore, the firm should maintain sufficient stock of raw
materials at a given time to stream line production.
Objective of Inventory Management
In the context of inventory management the firm is faced with the problem of meeting two
conflicting needs ;
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 68/96
To maintain a large size of inventory for sufficient and smooth production and sales
operations.
To maintain a minimum investment in inventories to maximize profitability.
Both excessive and inadequate inventories are not desirable. These are two dangerous points
within which the firm should operate. The objective of inventory management should be to
determine and maintain optimum level of inventory investment. The optimum level of
inventory will lie between the two danger points of excessive and inadequate inventories.
The firm should always avoid a situation of over investment or under investment in
inventories. The major dangerous of over investment are,
Unnecessary tie-up of the firms funds losses of profit
Excessive carrying cost
Risk of quality
The aim of inventory management thus should be to avoid excessive and inadequate levels of
inventories and to maintain sufficient inventory for smooth production and sales operations.
Efforts should be made to place an order at the right time with the right source to acquire the
right quantity at the right price and quality. An effective inventory management should
Ensure a continuous supply of raw materials to facilitate uninterrupted
production.
Maintain sufficient stock of raw materials in periods of short supply and anticipate
price changes.
Maintain sufficient finished goods inventory for smooth sales operations and efficient
customer service.
Minimize the carrying cost and time.
Control investment in inventories and keep it at an optimum level.
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 69/96
Inventory management techniques :
In managing inventories the firm objective should be in consonance with the shareholders'
wealth maximization principle. To achieve this firm should determine the optimum level of
inventory. Efficiently controlled inventories make the firm flexible. Inefficient inventory
control results in unbalanced inventory and inflexibility-the firm ma sometimes run out of
stock and sometimes may pileup unnecessary stocks. This increases level of investment and
makes the firm unprofitable.
To manage inventories efficiency, answers should be sought to the following two questions.
1) How much should be ordered?
2) When should it be ordered?
The first question how much to order, relates to the problem of determining economic order
quantity (EOQ), and is answered with an analysis of costs of manufacturing certain level of
inventories. The second question when to order arise because of determining the reorder
point.
When the order is placed for raw material certain raw material is in transit, such raw material
is called as raw material in transit.
Example – Raw material on overseas.
7/29/2019 scl jaipur
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/scl-jaipur 70/96
The raw material can be transfer from unit to another unit or from one department to another
is called transfer-in – transit. It is nothing but to the transfer of raw material among the inter
firm units of SHREE CEMENT .
The raw material, which is production process, is called work-in process. The work in
process becomes finished goods inventory. The finished should not be kept for a longer time.
They should be sold off to clear off the entire inventory. However, finished goods inventory
is not there for SHREE CEMENT , since production is mainly done on customer order and
specifications. The raw material is purchased and the whole process is repeated again which
we call it as inventory cycle.

Inventory turnover Ratio:-
Inventory turnover ratio indicates the efficiency of the firm in producing and selling its
products. It is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by the average inventory. The
average inventory is the average of open and closing balance of inventory.

SOURCE: SECONDARY DATA FROM SHREE CEMENT ANNUAL REPORT
INTERPRETATION
This ratio indicates the liquidity of the inventory, that is, how quickly, on the average, the
inventory was sold during the year and consequently the significance of the inventory for the
debt paying purposes.
A high stock turnover ratio is generally considered desirable because it is indicative of
efficient performance since an improvement in the ratio shows hat volume of sales has been
either maintained or increased without additional investment in stock.
Inventory turnover of SHREE CEMENT for 2006 – 2007 was 4.09. In 2007-2008 the
inventory turnover ratio was high up to 3.37 and it was high in 2009-20010 at 3.56.

NET PROFIT RATIO:
As every business is to earn profit, this ratio is very important because it measures the
profitability of sales. A business may yield high gross income but low net income because of
increasing operating and non-operating expenses. This situation can easily be detected by
calculating this ratio.
The profits used for this purpose may be profits after/before tax. To obtain this ratio, the figure
of net profits after tax is divided by the figure of net profits after tax is divided by the figure of
sales the ratio is also known as sales margin as we can ascertain with its help the margin which
the sales leave later deducting all the expenses. The unit of expression is percentage, as is thecase with profitability ratios.

FINDINGS
1) Standard current ratio is 2:1 and for industry it is 1.33:1. SHREE CEMENT ratio
satisfactory.
2) Acid test ratio is more than one but it does not mean that company has excessive liquidity &
firm quick ratio is declining from 2005-06 to 2009-10
3) Debtors of the company were high; they were increasing year by year, so more funds were
blocked in debtors. But now recovery is becoming faster.
4) Debtors turnover ratio is fluctuating from 2005-06 to 2009-10, which means inventory is not
utilized in better way so it is not a good sign for the company.
5) Inventory turnover ratio is improving from 2001-02 to 2005-06.increase in ratio is beneficial
for the company because as ratio increases the number of days of collection for debtors
decreases.

working capital.

SUGGESTIONS
1)It can be said that overall financial position of the company is normal but it is required to be
improved from the point of view of profitability.
2) Net operating cycle is increasing that means there is a need to make Improvements in receivables/deb
management.
3) Company should stretch the credit period given by the suppliers.
4) Company should not rely on Long-term debts.
5) Company should try to increase Volume based sales so as to stand in the competition.
Since the SHREE CEMENT is a profit making company and the interests of the investors are
also safe so for making more profit and for increasing the net profit as well as gross profit the
organization should curtail its operating, administrative & non productive expense. Company is
having good marketability, profitability and liquidity so the company can raise its fund.

achieve and sustain excellence in all our activities.We are committed to total customer satisfaction by providing producers and services which meet
or exceed the customer expectation.
