 1. INTRODUCTION
In 1979, FEDERAL MOGUL BEARINGS INDIA LIMITED formerly
GABRIEL and ANAND ENGINE COMPONENTS diversified into the
manufacture of thin wall engine bearings. The engine bearing division was
set up in collaboration with Federal Mogul Corporation, USA, and world
leaders in the thin-wall bimetal engine Parwanoo in the state of Himachal
Pradesh. From the inspection, this division has become place setter in its
fields as the only one in India to manufacture the complete range of Bimetal
Bearing, Bushes and thrust washers from the raw material stage. It has an in-
house fully equipped chemical and metallurgical laboratory to ensure that
only the best quality product will leave the plant. Its other testing facilities
include a gauge room with high precision metrological equipment’s such as
Talyrond and Surfandyer and also an engine testing dynamometer for
evaluation of bearing performance under actual conditions of fitment and
operation. A new semi automatic manufacturing facility has been added for
aluminum, tin and lead bearings. Gabriel produces Bimetal engine bearings,
thrust washers and bushes with an annual capacity of over 12 million
numbers.
Over Rs.10 million have been invested in sophisticated R&D facilities for
new product development, process improvement and indigenous equipment

THE PRODUCT
The main products of the Federal- mogul bearing India
limited are:-

1.Plain sleeve Bearing

2.Flange Bearing
3.Washers
4.Bushes
WORKING OF THE PRODUCT

In Internal Combustion Engine power is

developed by burning fuel (gasoline & diesel most commonly)
and air in hollow cylinders inside the cylinder block. The
block is the foundation of the engine, and all other parts are
placed inside it or are attached to it. The major parts are
cylinder, piston, connecting rod and crankshaft.The moving
engine parts are in constant contact with some other part due
to which they wear out because of friction.

2.1 ENGINE BEARINGS:

Bearings are devices used to transmit loads between relatively
moving surfaces. Bearings are used in all types of machinery,
engines and mechanisms for supporting and controlling the
motion of the rotating, sliding or reciprocating parts. Shafts,
spindles or axles usually support the rotating parts. Bearings
are designed to serve the purpose with minimum friction,
power loss, and generation of heat and are aided in their
requirement by suitable lubricants. Bearings are used in
Automotive, Industrial, Agricultural, Earth Moving, Marine
and Stationary Engines among others. Bearings that support
the rotating shaft in a fixed position against loads acting
perpendicular to the axis of shaft only are called Radial
Bearings. Those that support against loads parallel to the axis
of the shaft are called Thrust Bearings, while those, which
resist both radial and thrust loads, are called Angular or
Radial-Thrust Bearings.

Bearings are of two types:

(A) Anti-Friction Bearings.
(B) Sleeve Bearings.

2.1 (A) ANTI-FRICTION BEARINGS:

These Bearings utilize Rolling Balls or Rollers to provide a
Rolling Contact between the surfaces. In an automobile, anti-
friction Bearings are found in
The Suspension, Transmission and other parts of the Drive
Train.

2.1 (B) SLEEVE BEARINGS:
The Sleeve Bearings are so called because they are
shaped like a Sleeve and are firmly held in place around a
rotating Shaft, which results in a Sliding Contact. Sleeve
Bearings are found inside the Engine.

CAPITAL
MANAGEMEN

 INTRODUCTION
Working capital management is significant in financial
management due to the fact that it play an important
role in keeping the wheels of a business enterprise
running. It is concerned with short term financial
decision lack of effective and efficient utilization of
working capital leads to earn low rate of return on
capital.
Working capital means meeting day to day
requirements. The requirements of working capital
changes from time to time and firm depending upon
nature of business market condition, production policy
etc. Working capital to a company is like the blood to
human body. So working capital management if
carried out effectively, efficiently will assure the
health of an organization.
 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Working capital typically means the firm’s holdings of
current, or short term assets such as cash, receivables,
inventory and marketable securities. Much academic literature
is directed towards gross working capital, i.e. total current or
circulating assets. These items are referred to as circulating
assets because of their cyclical nature. The goal of working
capital management is to manage the firm’s current assets and
current liabilities in such a way that a satisfactory level of
working capital is maintained.

In the words of Shubin, “Working capital is the amount of

funds necessary to cover the cost of operating the enterprise.”

According to Genestenberg, “ Circulating capital means

current assets of the company that are changed in the ordinary
course of business from one to another, as for example, from
cash to inventories, inventories to receivables, receivables into
cash.”

Economists like Mead, Malott, Baker and Field says that it is

found that the excess of current assets over current liabilities
is the amount that is normally available to finance current
operations. They feel that current assets should be considered
as working capital, as the whole of it helps to earn profits; and
the management is more concerned with the total current
assets as they constitute the total funds available for
operational purposes. On other hand, economists like Lincoln
and Saliers uphold the former view. They argue that:
(A) Balance Sheet Concept

 Gross working capital (capital invested in total current

assets of an enterprise)

 Net working capital

Net working capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
