MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
MEANING:
Manufacturing industries refers to the activities concerned with the creation of form
utility. That is their activities concerned with the conversion of raw material or semi-finished
goods into finished goods. Conversion of raw jute into jute manufactures, conversion of cotton
into cotton textiles, production of sugar from sugar cane, production iron and steel from iron
ore etc. are examples of manufacturing industries. The products of extractive industries are the
raw material of manufacturing industries.
Manufacturing industries may be sub divided into four types, which are as follows:
Analytical industries.
Synthetic industries.
Processing industries.
Assembly-line industries.
1) ANALYTICAL INDUSTRIES:
Analytical industries refer to those manufacturing industries, which produces many
types of products by analyzing and separating the same basic raw material into different
products. For example oil refining is an analytical industry. In oil refining the same crude oil is
analyzed and separated into different products like diesel, oil, kerosene, lubricant oil etc.
2) SYNTHETIC INDUSTRIES:
Synthetic industries refers to all those manufacturing industries where various materials
are combined together in the manufacturing process to manufacture a new product, for
instance, cement industry is a synthetic industry, in the sense that cement is produced by a
cement industry by combining many materials, such as concrete, gypsum, coal, etc.
3) PROCESSING INDUSTRIES:
Processing industries refers to those manufacturing industries where the raw materials
are processed through different processes (i.e. stages of manufacturing) into finished product.
Textile industry, paper industry etc are examples of processing industries.
4) ASSEMBLY-LINE INDUSTRY:
Assembly line industries refer to those manufacturing industries where different
components parts already manufactured are assembled into final products. Automobile
industry, television industry, etc are examples of assembly line industries.

HIND ENGINEERING WORKS
HISTORY
M/s HIND ENGINEERING WORKS, the mother industry of HIND GROUP OF
INDUSTRIES was established in the year 1963, which manufactures Crankshafts. The
Founder of Hind Engineering Works was Mr.M.N.Kakatkar.
In the year 1950, Mr. M.N. Kakatkar was working in Arun Engineering as a Manager.
In the year 1957, his brother Mr. S.N. Kakatkar started Auto electrical repair works at Fort
road Belagum under the name of ‘Belgaum Electrical Works’, as an electrical wireman.Mr.
M.N. Kakatkar resigned from Arun Engineering and joined his brother at Belgaum electrical
Works.
Mr. M.N. Kakatkar was ambitious in starting his own Engineering Works Unit. With
the help of his friends and well wishers, he took some loans and purchased a Kirloskar made
‘Lathe’ machine on second hand. In the year 1962, they took a land at Dharwad road to start
engineering workshop on rental basis, Rs. 200 per month.
In the year 1963, they started the firm under the name “Hind Engineering Works”,
undertaking jobs from various firms. They approached State Bank of India in 1964 for
Financial Assistance. State Bank of India sanctioned a cash credit limit of Rs.5, 000.Belgaum
is well known for manufacture of crankshaft for automobiles, tractors, compressors.
The demand for crankshaft from all over India increased day by day. In the beginning the firm
was undertaking job work of crankshaft for M/s Arun Engineering Works.
In the year 1969, State Bank of India started Small Industries Business Scheme to
provide loan for the purchase of machinery. The lack of Customer satisfaction due to the set up

college
HIND ENGINEERING WORKS
of existing machineries was felt by the founders and hence they obtained term loan from SBI
and purchased the required machinery set up and are supplying crankshafts till today to the
most reputed customers.
In the year 1972, M/s Copper Engineering Ltd. Satara, who is the manufacturer of
diesel engines, inserted their jobs to Hind Engineering Works independently and from then
Onwards many companies like M/s Voltas Ltd. (MUMBAI) and many other companies
approached Hind Engineering Works.
The machinery purchased were Crankshaft grinders, Milling machineries and
Balancing machine and other required machinery. With this setup they were able to meet the
requirements of the customers. The prominent manufacturers of automobiles like Mahindra
and Mahindra, Tata Motors Ltd., Bharath Earth Movers are in the list of major customers. One
more operation required for completing the crankshaft was induction hardening. The partners
of the firm established a new firm named Hi-Tech Induction Pvt Ltd. at Shinolli.
As per the modern technology, due to the quality demand from the customers, Hind
Engineering Works installed modern technical equipments, highly skilled labor, educated
technicians and other testing equipments. It is proud to say no strikes from the date of
establishment till today. The firm has taken the expansion program for addition of imported
machinery from Germany and constructed new factory Premises at Udyambag Belgaum.

future challenges are as follows:
1. Capacity Utilization:
After Mahindra agrees certain volume, they expect from M&M to compensate by giving different
products to absorb any down fall of particular item and give more opportunity to utilize increased
capacity.
2. Pricing:
Today’s prices were agreed @ 10 years back by Hind, they expect from M&M to review prices
whenever they are investing for M&M.
3. Technical support:
Since Hind group is small but growing organization. They expect technical support and guidance of
modern concepts like 6SIGMA, TPM etc.

INTRODUCTION
Financial Management is concerned mainly with procuring funds in most of the economical
and prudent manner, deploying these funds in the most profitable way in a risk situation,
planning future operations and controlling current and future performance and development
through different tools.
Financing: To obtain funds from different sources. Funds for business are put to
different uses. The funds may be permanent source, long term source, and medium and
short term sources. These funds are to be utilized efficiently.
Investment: Investment in an existing plant needs for diversification or expansion of
existing capacity or establishment of new plant. In such areas risk-vs.-return factors are
to be considered by finance manager. Capital Budgeting techniques are to be applied
and an optimal decision is to be taken.
Working Capital Management: The Process is continuous; it requires a lot of
financial judgment and experience to handle. The aspects of working capital
management include making adequate fund for day today operations of the business.
Dividend decision: The main object of financial management is to maximize the
wealth of shareholders. In deciding the rate of dividend, emphasis should be made on
retained earnings (reserve) which will ultimately increase the book value of the
company along with equity capital.
WORKING CAPITAL
INTRODUCTION
Every business needs adequate liquid resources in order to maintain day-to-day cash flow. It
needs enough cash to pay wages and salaries as they fall due and to pay creditors if it is to keep
its workforce and ensure its supplies. Maintaining adequate working capital is not just
important in the short-term. Sufficient liquidity must be maintained in order to ensure the
survival of the business in the long-term as well. Even a profitable business may fail if it does
not have adequate cash flow to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
Therefore, when businesses make investment decisions they must not only consider the
financial outlay involved with acquiring the new machine or the new building, etc, but must
also take account of the additional current assets that are usually involved with any expansion
of activity. Increased production tends to engender a need to hold additional stocks of raw
materials and work in progress. Increased sales usually mean that the level of debtors will
increase. A general increase in the firm’s scale of operations tends to imply a need for greater
levels of cash.
MEANING:
Working Capital is a short term investment, which is concerned with the problems that
arise to manage current assets, the current liabilities and the inter relationship that exists
between them.
Working Capital is used for financing day today business operations. An organization
whether it is a manufacturing or trading requires adequate funds for acquiring the stock of
materials, marketable securities, stores, materials etc. The funds invested in current assets such
as stock of materials, bills receivables, Sundry debtors, and cash in hand, bank balance is
known as “Circulating or Revolving Capital” because the current assets are the nature of
circulation.
Working Capital thus refers to that part of total capital which is kept invested in current
assets that are required for regular business operations.
Concept:
The two concepts of Working Capital are:
Gross Working Capital
Net Working Capital.
The total capital employed in current assets or firms investment in current assets.
Current Assets:
The assets which can be converted into cash within an accounting year and includes
cash, short term securities, debtors, bills receivables, inventory. It focuses on two aspects of
current assets management:
• Optimum investment in current assets: Avoid two danger points i.e.; excess and
inadequate in current assets.
• Financing of current assets: Make necessary arrangement of working capital funds
whenever a firm needs due to increased level of business activities or for any other
reason.
Sl. No. CONSTITUENTS OF CURRENT ASSETS AMOUNT
1 Cash in hand XXX
2 Bills receivables XXX
3 Short term loans and advances XXX
4 Inventories of stock as XXX
a) Raw materials xxx
b) Work in progress xxx
c) Stores and spares xxx
d) Finished goods xxx
5 Temporary investment of surplus funds XXX
Total Current assets(Gross working capital) XXX
Current Liabilities:
Current liabilities are the liabilities of a company due and payable within one year or
are those claims of outsiders which are expected to mature for payment within an accounting
year and include creditors, bills payable etc.
Net working capital is qualitative concept and it covers two concepts:
• It indicates the liquidity position of the firm.
• Suggests the extent to which working capital need may be financed by
permanent sources of funds and also it covers judicious mix of long term and
short term funds for financing current assets.
5. To maintain the inventories of raw materials, work in progress, stores and spares and
finished stock.
6. To maximize the wealth of its shareholders.
7. To deal with the problem arising out of the lack of immediate realization of cash
against goods sold.
8. To maintain liquidity position of a firm.
9. To counterpart between cash inflow and cash outflow (because outflow of cash is
predicted, definite in nature but inflow of cash is indefinite.
10. To adopt smooth, uninterrupted functioning of firm activities.
The size of the firm in terms of its scale of operations is an important factor affecting
the working capital requirement. A firm carrying its business on a small scale requires less
amount of working capital as compared to a firm having large scale operations.
2. Nature of business:
A trading firm or a finance corporation requires a huge amount of working capital and
its investment on fixed assets is limited. Similarly a public utility concern like electricity, water
supply, railways etc require huge amount of fixed capital and just a nominal amount of
working capital.
3. Changes in technology:
Technological development relating to manufacturing process may influence the
working capital requirement. Use of modernized machines requires less quantity of raw
materials, speeding up of manufacturing process results in lower quantity of inventories to be
held, and hence reduces the working capital requirements.
4. Production cycle:
The time for converting raw materials into final [product is known as production cycle.
Longer the manufacturing cycle greater is the amount of working capital required. Therefore
shorter manufacturing cycle should be chosen so that accumulation of work in progress and
wastage of time can be minimized.
5. Business cycle:
Business increases during boom period and decreases during the period of depression.
During the boom period the sales increases rapidly and correspondingly investment in
Inventories also increase requiring more and more working capital. But when depression sets
in, the demand for the product declines reducing the level of inventories to be held and as a
result of which working capital requirement also declines.
6. Type of industry:
A capital intensive industry which is based only on machines requires more fixed
capital and less working capital. Whereas labor intensive industry based on manpower
resources requires more working capital for the payment of salaries, wages, allowance etc.

NOTE:
The Net Working Capital for the year 2006-07 decreased because of the purchase of
machinery from the existed working capital.
OPERATING CYCLE
It is the time duration required to convert sales, after the conversion of resources into
inventories into cash. The operating cycle of a manufacturing company involves three phases:
• Acquisition of resources such as raw materials, labor, power, fuel etc.
• Manufacture of the product which includes conversion of raw materials in to work-in-
progress into finished goods.
• Sale of the product either for cash or on credit. Credit sales create account receivables
for collection.
In simple words Operating Cycle is the time period required to convert cash into raw
materials, raw materials into work-in-progress into finished goods to bills receivables into
cash.
DEBTORS
(RECEIVABLES)
Finally, NOC is the difference between the total time period required for Inventory and
Debtors conversion period and the time period taken by the firm to postpone the payments.
LIQUIDITY RATIOS:
The current ratio is a measure of the firm’s short term solvency. It gives a general view
of the adequacy of company’s ability to meet its day today payment obligations. Generally a
current ratio of 2:1 is considered to be satisfactory. In Hind Engineering Works, the current
ratio is lower than 2:1.For both the years it remained constant i.e., 1.2:1.This shows that there
is no sufficient Current Assets to meet the Current Liabilities.
Quick ratio judges the short term debt and repaying ability of the firm. When the quick
assets equal or exceeds the Current Liabilities, the financial position may be considered
satisfactory. The ratio 1:1 is considered as an acceptable form. Here the quick ratio is constant
for both the years. It is always above the acceptance rule. Thus, found to be better.
Net working capital ratio is used as a measure of firm’s liquidity. It measures the
firm’s potential reservoir of funds. The greater the Net working capital ratio the greater ability
to meet its current obligations. The net working capital ratio has decreased from 0.32 to 0.14.
To conclude, liquidity of Hind Engineering Works is deteriorating. Liquidity ratio can
mislead since Current Assets and Current Liabilities can change quickly. Their utility becomes
more doubtful for the firm with seasonal business changes.
To conclude, the overall assets turnover ratios show little improvement. The Current
Assets turnover ratio has improved while the fixed assets turnover ratio is declining.
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
Gross profit margin reflects the efficiency with which management produces each unit
of product. This ratio indicates the average speed between the cost of goods sold and the sales
revenue. A higher gross profit margin implies that the firm is able to produce at relatively
lower cost. This ratio has increased from 0.30 to 0.32.This is due to increase in cost of goods
sold and sales.
Net profit margin ratio indicates the management’s efficiency in manufacturing,
administering and selling the products. A firm with high net margin ratio would be in an
advantageous position to survive in the face of falling selling prices, rising cost of production
or declining demand for the product. There is a decrease in net profit margin ratio from 0.10 to
0.08 as the cost of goods sold and sales are increased.
The use of ratio analysis is made for the purpose of evaluation. Various conclusions
have been drawn by making comparison over a period of time.
The following ratios have been used to evaluate different aspects of cash management.
1. Cash to Current Assets ratio.
2. Cash turnover ratio.
3. Average age of cash.
decreased from 16 days in the year 2005-06 to 3 days in the year 2006-07. From this fact it is
clear that the company is utilizing the cash effectively. A continuous check of all the cash and
bank balance is made and it is reported to the top management of very low or high cash
balances. Future forecasts of cash are made to meet the unexpected demand.
RECEIVABLES MANAGEMENT
Receivables management constitutes a substantial portion of Current Assets of several
firms. For example, trade debtors in India, after inventories, are the major components of
Current Assets. They form about one third of Current Assets in India. Granting credit and
creating debtors amount to the blocking of firm’s funds. The interval between the date of sales
and the date of payment has to be financed out of working capital. As substantial amount are
tied up in trade debtors, it needs careful analysis and proper management.
Establishing optimum credit policy.
A firm’s investment in accounts receivables depends on:
a) The volume of credit sales.
b) The collection period.
The volume of credit sales is a function of the firm’s total sales and the percentage of credit
sales to total sales. Total sales depends upon market size, firm’s market share, product quality,
intensity of competition, economic conditions etc. The finance manager hardly has any control
over these variables. The percentage of credit sales to total sales is mostly influenced by the
nature of business and industry norms.
The term credit policy is used to refer the combination of three decision variables:
I. Credit standards,
II. Credit terms.
III. Collection efforts.
On which the finance manager has influence. Credit Standards are criteria to decide the type
of customers to whom goods could be sold on credit. If a firm has more slow paying
customers, its investment in account receivables will increase. The firm will also be exposed to
higher risk of default.
Credit terms specify duration of credit and terms of payment by customers. Investment in
account receivables will be high if customers are allowed extended time period for making
payments.
Collection efforts determine the actual collection period. The lower the collection period, the
lower the investment in accounts receivables and vice- versa.
To conclude the Debtor’s Collection period has decreased from 276 days in the year
2005-06 to 132 days in the year 2006-07.This shows there is improvement in the debtor’s
collection period.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Inventories constitute the most significant part of Current Assets of a large majority of
companies in India. On an average inventories are approximately 60 percent of Current Assets
in public limited companies in India. Because of the large size of inventories maintained by the
firms, a considerable amount of funds is required to be committed to them. It is, therefore,
absolutely imperative to manage inventories efficiently and effectively in order to avoid
unnecessary investment.
Nature of Inventories:
Inventories are stock of the product company is manufacturing for sale and the
components that make up the product. The various forms in which inventories exist in a
manufacturing company are:
Raw materials are those basic inputs that are converted into finished product through
the manufacturing process. Raw materials inventories are those units which have been
purchased and stored for future productions.
Work-In-Process inventories are semi manufactured products. They 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. Tocks of raw materials are work in process facilitate production, while
stock of finished goods is required for smooth marketing operations. Thus, inventories
serve as a link between the production and consumption of goods.
Disruption or short supply. Therefore, the firm should maintain sufficient stock of raw
materials at a given time to streamline production.
Work in process inventory builds up because of the production cycle. Production cycle
is the time span between introduction of raw materials into production and emergence of
finished product at the completion of production cycle. Till production cycle completes,
stock of work in process has to be maintained. Efficient firms constantly try to make
production cycle smaller by improving the production techniques.
Stock of finished goods has to be held because production and sales are not
instantaneous. A firm cannot produce immediately when goods are demanded by
customers. Therefore, to supply finished goods on a regular basis, their stock has to be
maintained.
