HMT Fast Forward
It was in the early post independence era that, HMT began in a small way to meet a big
commitment;

'To manufacture mother machines to build modern industrial India'.

HMT was conceived by the Government of India in 1949, and was incorporated in 1953,
with the objective of producing a limited range of machine tools, required for building an
industrial edifice for the country.

THE 1960's:
Success achieved in the initial years in absorbing the technology and in attaining
production competence far ahead of the original plans.
The Company launched a bold plan of diversification and expansion. RESULTED -
Duplication of the Bangalore Unit and the set up of new units at Pinjore, Kalamassery
and Hyderabad.
In 1967, recession struck the Indian Engineering Industry, Machine tools
consumption reduced highly. The recession brought two latent strengths of HMT
1.The urge to survive
2. The urge to survive and the confidence to innovate.
With these strengths at full play, the Company emerged from the recession:
With the world's widest range of machine tools and associated services under a
single corporate entity.
Action plans firmly launched for diversification into Tractors, Presses and Press
Brakes, Printing Machines, Die Casting and Plastic Injection Molding Machines,
Horological Machinery, etc., which were considered to have economic cycles that are
different from those of machine tools.
With a Watch Factory already established in 1961-62, additional capacities for watch
production were contemplated to provide a greater cushion against cyclical
fluctuations in capital goods markets and also to meet the burgeoning demand for
watches.
With export markets of enormous potential under active development.

THE 1970's:
The 70s witnessed the fructification of all the diversification plans as envisaged.HMT setup
HMT International Limited as a subsidiary company to channel HMT's products and
technical services abroad.

Two more units for manufacture of Watches, one at Srinagar and one at Tumkur
HMT took over Machine Tool Corporation at Ajmer as its sixth machine tool unit.
THE 1980's:
In the 80s, HMT as a part of vertical integration efforts, launched units to manufacture
Watches at Ranibagh
Watch Cases at Bangalore
Stepper Motors at Tumkur
CNC Systems at Bangalore
Ball screws for use on CNC Machines at Bangalore Also,
HMT took over Indo-Nippon Precision Bearings Ltd, a state owned unit as a subsidiary,
which was renamed HMT-Bearings Ltd.
HMT took over Praga Tools Ltd as another subsidiary.
THE 1990's:
The Company restructured itself into 5 Business Groups.
Machine Tools, Watches, Tractors, Industrial Machinery and Engineering Components as
part of Business Reorganizations.
The New Millennium:
HMT is now restructured with addition of 3 more subsidiaries to those already existing. HMT
now comprises of 6 subsidiaries under the ambit of the Holding Company which also
manages the Tractors business directly.

INDUSTRIL PROFILE

Indian export industry is highly regularized by government organization Like Ministry of
Commerce, Commodity Board, Export Inspection Council, Export Promotion Council, Public
Sector Trade Houses, and advisory Bodies.
After Globalization international trade has gained lot of importance and the country has
realized the importance of export promotion and is taking steps to improve the
international trading transactions. Government with a view to improve the marketing
infrastructure has established export-trading houses for the promotion of exports. The
organization was established with a motive for being an international agent for wide range
of the organizational products and also for other Indian products.
The high growth of exports was because of the following reasons,
Increase in price competitiveness of Indian Exports due to increase in world price
There was a boom in Agro-Based exports such as oil cakes, marine products and
sugar
Increase in the exports of projects in the middle eastern countries
New Markets emerged in oil producing countries with boom in oil prices
Increase in the quantum index of exports
Between 1980 and 1991 there was a decline of exports due to fall in Dollar value, slowdown
of World Trade, Gulf Crisis, Political upheavals in Eastern Europe, Movement of Exchange
rates, Law and order problem, and so on .
Trading Houses (TH) are independent companies staffed by international trade experts.
They are business intermediaries between manufacturers and the foreign buyers or
consumer of goods and services. Trading Houses export, import and engage in third country
trading of goods and services produced by other companies by acting as:
International traders who buy and sell products for their own accounts
Export agents who act on behalf of another party and are paid commission
Export management companies which handles a portion of the parent companys
exports, and can engage in counter-trade, if necessary
Purchasing agencies which supply foreign companies
In the prevailing context of an increasingly global economy and with strong foreign

competition on international and domestic market, Treading Houses and their
understanding of the foreign markets play a more important role. Trading Houses handle
50% of export to destination outside.
Expertise in foreign markets

By buying through a Trading Houses, manufacturers can benefit from Trading Houses
unrivalled knowledge of the foreign markets. Trading Houses are specialized in export
finance and management and can minimize financial risks. They are conversant with
overseas buyers needs and market requirements.
In addition, Trading Houses can tailor their services to the needs of manufacturers and
buyers. They manage the risks associated with international trade transactions by
establishing long-term business relationship with foreign clients and by carefully monitoring
developments in overseas markets

Export and Import department

This department makes a preliminary market research with regard to market potential and
how best it may be tapped in the interest of the export business.
I.EXPORT
Stages of export marketing:
The task of planning the approach towards export market involves following steps:
Basic data collection
This may be through desk research from published source of information.
Planning and marketing strategy:
On the basis of variables obtained from the desk research a marketing strategy
regarding the product, pricing, packing promotional techniques etc. for the market in
question may be arrived.
Implementing the marketing strategy:
Implementation of the strategy is the most vital step. This must be done after carefully
analyzing the strategy and undertaking a swot analysis of the source
Identification of overseas agents.

Establishing contacts with diplomatic missions

Emerging markets and opportunities for the Indian exporters:
As a monetary step to promote exports, the ministry of commerce has pulled of a
miracle in a bid to overshoot an ambitious export target of US$ 75 million by the end of the
century. An analysis of trade destinations reveals that approx. 70-80% of Indian exports is
being made to principal trading partners of India.

1. 15 destination countries have been identified as principal trading partners of India
they are as follows:
a. USA, Belgium, Italy, CIS, Bangladesh, Singapore, Netherlands, France, South
Africa, Thailand and African countries.

2. The other important aspect of marketing is that the responsibility does not end with
just delivering of goods. After sales service should be provided to take care of
trouble free service of the goods.

3. Market research is also required to be adopted on the continuous basis, which helps
an exporter assess the prevailing market situation i.e. demand for the required
products.

4. The aspects of market research are:
a. Scanning of the market,
b. Adaptation of the marketing strategy (marketing mix)
c. Collecting latest market information (updated and relevant/reliable) etc.
Procedure for exports:
Quotation/ perform invoice
Purchase order/ agreements/ contracts
Purchase order on supplier
Letter of credit and financial documents
Pre-shipment documents
Shipment documents
Negotiation of documents
Receipt of remittance (sales proceeds)
Legality:
Settlement of disputes is done through Arbitration and Conciliation.

SHIPPING DEPARTMENT

Documentation, shipping and logistics:
When preparing to ship a product overseas, the exporter needs to be aware of
packing, labeling, documentation and insurance requirements. Because the goods are being
shipped by unknown carriers to distinct customers, the new exporter must be sure to follow
all shipping requirements to help ensure that the merchandise is:
Packed correctly so that it arrives in good condition.
Labeled correctly to ensure that the goods are handled properly and arrive on time
and at right place
Document correctly to meet local and foreign government requirements as well as
proper collection standards; and
Insured against damages , loss and pilferage and, in some cases, delay

Because of the variety of consideration involved in the physical export process, most
exporters, both new and experienced, rely on an international freight forwarder to perform
these services.
Freight forwarders:
The international freight forwarders acts as an agent for the exporter in moving
cargo to the over destination. These agents are familiar with the import rules and regulation
of the foreign countries methods of shipping, government export regulation, and the
documents connected with foreign trade
Freight forwarders can assist with an order from the start by advising the export of
the freight costs, port chargers, consular fees, cost of special documentation and insurance
cost as well as their handling fees- all of which helps in preparing price quotation. Freight
forwarders may also recommend the type of packing for best protecting the merchandise in
transit; they can arrange to have merchandise packed at the port or containerized. The cost

for their services is a legitimate export cost that should be figured into the price charged to
the customer.
When the order is ready to ship, freight forwarders should be able to review the
letter of credit, commercial invoices, packing list and so on to ensure that everything is in
order. They can also reserve the necessary space on board an ocean vessel, if the exporter
desires. If the cargo arrives at the port of export and the exporter has not done the required
arrangements, freight forwarders can make the necessary arrangement with customs
brokers to ensure that the goods comply with customs export documentation regulations. In
addition, they may have the goods delivered to the carriers in time for loading. They may
also prepare the bill of lading and any special document required. After shipment, they
forward all documents directly to the customer or the paying bank if desired.
Packing:
While packing an item for export, the shipper should be aware of the demands concerned
with export packaging. Four problems must be kept in mind when an export shipping crate
is being designed:
Breakage
Weight
Moisture
Pilferage
Most general cargo is carried in containers, but some is still shipped as break bulk cargo.
Besides the normal handling encountered in domestic transportation, a break bulk shipment
moving by ocean freight may be loaded aboard vessels in a net or by a sling, conveyor chute
or other methods, putting added strain on the package.
Various types of packing are:
1. WOODEN CASES:
12mm ply wood sheets; sides joined with good seasoned jungle reapers of size 4X1 are
used. Runners of size 3X5 height is provided at the base for easy handling cases. These
cases are made of nails/bolts and nuts

2. CARTE PACKING:
Good seasoned jungle wood reapers of the size 4X1 are used. Runners of size 3X5 height
is provided at the base for easy handling cases. The inner side of the carte is lined with 50
GSM transparent polythene plastic sheets.

3. PALLET PACKING:
12mm single sheet base with good seasoned jungle wood runner of size 3X5 height is
provided at the base for easy handling of cases.
4. GUNNY WRAPPING:
The given item have to be initially wrapped with bubble and corrugated sheets and gunny
wrapped with plastic strapping
5. SHRINK WRAPPING:

The given items have to be shrinking wrapped with plastic strapping for both ocean and air
shipments, freight forwarders and carriers can advise on the best packaging. Marine
companies are also available for consultation. It is recommended that a professional firm be
hired to package for export if the exporter is not equipped for the task. This service is
usually provided at a moderate cost.
Labeling:
Specific marking and labeling is used on export shipping cartons and containers to:
Meet shipping regulations,
ensure proper handling
conceal the identity of the contents,
Help receivers identify their shipment.
Exporter needs to put following markings on the cartons to be shipped:
shippers mark
country of origin (exporters country)
weight marking (in pounds or in kilogram )
number of packages and size of the cases (in inches or centimeter)
handling marks (international pictorial symbols)
cautionary marking, such as( this side up & use no hooks)
port of entry (importers port)
Labels of hazardous materials.
Legibility is extremely important to prevent misunderstanding and delay in shipping letters
is generally stenciled onto packages and containers in waterproof ink. Marking should
appear on the three feces of the container, preferably on the top and on the two ends or
two sides. Any Old markings should be completely removed.
Documentation:
Taking all the controls on the international trade into consideration and also the risk
factors involved, the documentation commands a very important and vital role in exports. In

the entire documentation in the export trade can be basically divided into 2 categories as
stated below

Pre-shipment document are those which the exporter has to generate, authenticate, submit
to the concerned authorities and departments etc. and get the necessary clearance, prior to
the actual shipment of the cargo so that the cargo can be moved out of the country validly
and the exporter can receive the proof of shipment. The pre-shipment documents are
generally prepared when the export cargo is produced and prior the shipment

Some of the pre-shipments documents are:

1. CUSTOMS INVOICE
Anybody wishing to export will have to prepare this invoice and submit the same in the
standardized format.

2. CUSTOMS PACKING LIST
This is also a standardized, mandatory document and exporters will have to prepare the
same and submit to customs for clearing the cargo and no other form of packing list will be
acceptable.
EXPORT
DOCUMENTS
Pre-shipment
Documents
Post-shipment
Documents

3. G.R. FORM/SDF
Since the entire activities are done through EDI, where ever the shipping bill is filled under
EDI scheme, separate GR forms are not demanded. Instead the foreign exchange copy of the
shipping bill performs the role of GR forms. The bank also asks for a self-declaration form to
be filled up and submitted by the exporter along with the foreign exchange copy of the EDI
shipping bill and both these documents together performs the function of GR
4. ARE -1 FORM
This is a very important regulatory document prescribed by the central excise department
for the exemption/drawback of the excise duty. This exemption can be availed by two
methods

Under the first method, the exporter can pay the excise duty, like what is being done in the
domestic trade, export the cargo and then bring the proof of export and draw back the duty
paid earlier
Alternatively, the exporter can export the cargo without making the payment of excise duty.
This method is known as exporting under Bond/ LUT. Here the exporting firm has to execute
a legal undertaking with the central excises department in the prescribed format. This is
called a LUT and will be signed by an authorized signatory of the organization.
This undertaking will bind the exporter to bring the foreign exchange as revenue of
exports and also to submit the necessary proof of exports to the satisfaction of the excise

department. On submitting such LUT, the department will verify the same and if found ok,
shall give an acceptance letter. Exporter will quote this acceptance number and the
organization can remove the goods without payment of excise duty and export the same
5. SHIPPING BILL
Shipping bill is made through EDI system these days in many of the customs offices,
manual shipping bills are to be submitted as per the approved format available. In any case,
whether EDI or manual, shipping bills is a statutory document prescribed for the export. In
fact shipping bill will be the only document accepted by any government department as a
proof of shipment and hence this should be treated as a primary document of export.
6. CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN
If specified in the export order, L/C etc. or if the commodity is a notified item, this
will become a pre-shipment document and otherwise this will be considered as a post-
shipment document. Exporters can get this certificate generally from the concerned
chamber of commerce against the submission of the filled forms along with copies of
invoice, packing list etc. and pay the specified fees.
7. CERTIFICATE OF INSPECTION
Even though the certificate of inspection is not a mandatory document, it will get into such
category if the buyers order/ contract or the L/C etc. specifies this as a document required
pertaining to the export activity. Fundamentally, the specified inspecting authority will issue
this document. The inspecting authority may be varying as per the contractual conditions.
Depending up on the conditions of the order or L/C either the buyer may inspect or they
may engage an independent inspecting authority for inspecting and certifying. In some
cases the certificate will even be issued by the manufacturer himself, if such certification is
specified in the order.

Standard post-shipment documents are:
Customs attested invoice
Customs attested packing list
Copy of export order/copy of L.O.C
Commercial invoice

Consular invoice
Bill of lading/ air way bill
Certificate of Origin
Certificate of inspection (if specified)
Bill of exchange (draft)
G.R Form/SDF(duplicate)

Common payment terms:
OPEN ACCOUNT:
Here the exporter ships the goods and then forwards the shipping documents to the
buyers directly or through the banking channel and receives payments directly or
through the bank by way of credit
CASH AGAINST DOCUMENT:
Here the exporter affects shipping of goods and then forwards the documents through
his banker to the banker to the banker of the buyer who in turn hands over documents
to the buyer only when the payment is made or authorized by him.
SIGHT DRAFT:
Under this term, the exporter arranges the shipment of cargo and then uses his bank as
agent to forward shipping documents to the buyer through their bank. The buyers bank
arranges for acceptance of the BOE payment from the buyer before releasing shipping
documents as per the terms agreed by seller and buyer.
CASH IN ADVANCE:
Here the exporter receives the full payment in advance before the cargo is shipped.
Realization of export proceeds The bank as per the payment terms and the
instructions of the exporter forwards the export documents to the credit-opening
bank and negotiates the payment and on realization credits the proceeds to the
account of the seller.

Human resource plays an important and effective role in promoting good and harmonious
relation between employees and employers for growth and development of the country.
HRM is concerned with the people dimension in management. Since every organization is
made up of people acquiring their skills, motivating them to high level of performance and
ensuring that they continue to maintain their commitments to the organization are essential
to achieve in organization objectives. This is true regardless of the organization,
Government business, education, health, recreation or social action. Getting and keeping
good people is critical to the every organization, whether profit or non-profit, public or

more or less sophisticated than the organization demands.

the society.

far those goals enhance the individual contribution to the organization. The personal
objectives of the employees must be met if employees are to be maintained, retained and
motivated.

job-rotation, feed-back ad counseling mechanism, training systems, career development
exercise, and team-building exercise are part of the HRD department role. They should
constantly keep planning these and introducing changes in then.
2. Recruitment, Selection and Training: It is the function of personnel department in
HR to recruit the best candidates in the files and engineering, finance, marketing,
production, personnel, etc. So it favors the objectives requirement. HMT (I) favors
systematic scheme of centralized requirement. The different ways by which recruitment is
done are advertising in newspapers, internal recruitment done in HMT (I), and campus
recruitment. But from the past eight years due to financial losses in HMT (I) recruitment has
stopped, except in critical areas.

3. Training and Development: It is one of the most important in MTB, which gives
training not only to the employees but also to the students and customers. For the
employees nearly six months training is given as job training. Students are selected every
year before August 15 and they are given training in different department like purchase,
sales, personnel etc. according to their interest.

influenced by the time period granted for a particular post as well as by the vacancies
arising due to retirement and separation of employees. Transfers strengthen job rotation
system job exposure and experience to enrich the feelings of oneness and belonging and to
prevent monotony transfer.

company.
HMT is very popular name among every Indian because of its innovation technology,
quality, assurance and durability to its people or customer. HMT has created the brand
image that symbols machine tools to manufacture, tractors to the framers and watches to
millions of people in India.
Today, HMTs machine tools expertise had been developed to an extent that HMT
can design and develop any kind of machine from simple lathes and CNC machines to
flexible manufacturing system. Today HMT is multi-technology, multi-products company.

HMTs commitment is clearly reflected in the fact that has an exclusive machine tool unit
spread across the country.
In the changed market condition the organization needs to focus on the customer
satisfaction, in reaching out their goal. The management has to constantly upgrade
technology product profile internal work process and plant & machinery in the end
ultimately it is the employees who will change the performance of the company.
Therefore motivation should be of maintaining interpersonal relationship among
employees.
