   by Sunshine Fanin Business / Management    (submitted 2012-09-19)

With the increasing demand of the mechanisms of sand, the third generation Sand gravel production line productivity. Sand widely used, not only to improve the mechanism of sand production, and the quality is also more secure than the natural sand.

However, sand making machine during use, influenced by a variety of factors, restricting the performance of the play and service life of the Sand. One of the major problems currently facing is how to do sand making management and maintenance, fault prevention, the good condition of the machinery and equipment to maintain and give full play to the efficacy of equipment. Zhen Xin Machinery manufacturers as the third-generation Sand, sand making machine management to maintain, improve service life and put forward their own suggestions.

Currently, sand making production process management maintenance work, seriously restricting the sand making life and improving efficiency of the sand and gravel plant, which is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

First: Device Manager weak, affecting the normal order of production. Gap between the management and operation layer in the production process, resulting in a sand and gravel plant machinery and equipment management is weak. There are a considerable part of the sand and gravel plant does not form a complete and strict management system of mechanical equipment, machinery and equipment ledger, technical data file management system is not perfect, causing confusion in the management of machinery and equipment, and seriously affected the normal production of sand and gravel plant.

The second: Sand maintenance system may not be implemented to reduce the resulting mechanical equipment in good condition. Generally gravel plant equipment use are often re-use light maintenance Although the scheme given the man-machine system, but they ignore the constraints of mechanical equipment maintenance system activities, did not explicitly implement people. Operator just focus, not timely processing problems; mechanical equipment failure in need of repair, maintenance personnel responsible not cope with the job, failure is not a fundamental solution to the problem, "headache medicine head, feet sore foot ", resulting in the continuous expansion and development of the equipment failure. When a problem occurs, the operation and maintenance personnel tend to shirk their responsibility, not aware of the importance of the issue. This not only affects the quality and progress of the production also increased repair costs, running costs, and reduce the resulting sand making life and security.

Third: Sand is not standardized, accelerated equipment wear and tear of aging. Sand making technology, equipment use knowledge as part of the operating personnel is poorly understood, especially the technical quality of the short-term staff employed, do not pay attention to the specific conditions of construction and operating methods, just in time production, grab the progress, so sand making machine has been in a situation of overload, or with the "disease" job status, even illegal operation, thus accelerating the wear and tear of aging equipment. In addition, after the end of the project, the equipment can not be required to careful maintenance, repair and overhaul, to be deployed to the new project, the equipment often fails. Both spend a larger energy and the high cost of refurbishment, but also seriously bungled the normal construction period.

Fourth: ignore Sand upgrading, resulting in the construction of inefficiency and declining competitiveness. Present some gravel plants pay enough attention, and the upgrading of equipment failure and aging of the Sand slower. Part of the management to focus only on short-term economic benefits, just for the sake of convenience, without regard to the overall performance of the device, to adopt the practice of "robbing Peter to pay Paul", or even in violation of the relevant provisions of the State to continue to use worn-out machinery and scrap machinery, resulting in the mechanical failure rate greatly increase. Pose a security threat not only to the production staff, and the overall production inefficiencies, the overall increase in the cost of production, reduce the income of gravel plants, declining competitiveness, and ultimately affect the development of the entire factory.

To sum up, do a good job in sand making equipment maintenance and management work properly analyze and solve the various contradictions relationship management process, improve the management of sand and gravel plant equipment maintenance levels, improve sand making life, enhance the gravel plant market competitiveness has a very important practical significance.

Compliance Certification in India

   by AEPC Dishain Business / Management    (submitted 2012-09-19)

With the increasing globalisation, a lot of importance is given to the internationally recognised compliance standards under which a product for export is manufactured. Increasingly, global brands and retailers are choosing to work with the factories that are certified in these standards.


There is a direct impact of social compliance on company's financial results, especially for organisations in consumer market where brand name and reputation are most critical assets. Companies adopt compliance code to protect their goodwill in the market.


The Indian garment industry needs to be tough on compliance rather than competing with other developing countries manufacturing inexpensive garments. The Apparel Export Promotion Council of India (AEPC), the apex industrial body that promotes apparel exports, aims at making India the global benchmark for social compliance in apparel manufacturing and export. With this objective, the Council has embarked on a project - Driving the Industry towards Sustainable Human Capital Advancement (Disha). The most important component of this project is the common compliance code.


The programme Disha also envisages international accreditation of this certification system for acceptance by the trading partners as an authentic and reliable certification system on compliance issues.


The major objective of the apparel certification program is to independently monitor and certify compliance with the various standards, ensuring that a given factory produces goods under lawful, humane and ethical conditions. Some of the principles are following:

Prohibition of child & forced labor: Manufacturers of Sewn Products should not use forced labor or any labour less than 14 years of age.
Minimum wages and benefits: Garment manufacturers should pay at least the minimum total compensation required by local law, including all mandated wages, allowances and benefits.
Prohibition of discrimination: Manufacturers of Sewn Products should employ, pay, promote, and terminate workers on the basis of their ability to do the job, rather than on the basis of personal characteristics or beliefs.
Working conditions: Organisations must provide employees with the adequate working conditions and comply with all applicable worker safety laws and regulations.

Certification Process


The compliance certification process includes the following steps:

Factory self-assessment: Each unit is required to fill an online self-assessment tool that will serve as the baseline for unit-level improvement tracking. It includes initial training and a root cause analysis to identify the cluster-level as well as unit-level gaps.
Improvement program: It includes the action plan (training programs) to improve processes and systems. These training programs address the key issues of Freedom of Association (FOA), child & forced labour, and wages & benefits.
Audit: After each unit has implemented their improvement plans over a period of 45-60 days, audit is done by the apparel export promotion council (AEPC) nominated auditors.
CAP & Remediation: It includes the corrective action plan (CAP) and various remediation steps.
Certification: After each unit has undergone gap analysis, training, process improvement, and final impact assessment, it will receive the compliance certification by AEPC-Disha. This certificate is valid for one year.

Certificate Classification


Following certificate classification codes are used to certify the level of compliance of the units:


Green Certificate: This is used to certify the units with mature compliance processes.


Yellow Certificate: This is used to certify the units with some compliance processes, but needs improvement.


Red Certificate: This is used to certify the units, which need establishment of compliance processes.

Global Textile Market in India

   by AEPC Dishain Business / Management    (submitted 2012-09-19)

India has a diverse and rich textile tradition. Indian textile industry largely depends on textile manufacturing and export. The country earns about 27 per cent of its total foreign exchange through textile exports. Further, it contributes about 14 per cent to industrial production and 4 per cent to the gross domestic product (GDP). The sector is the second largest employment provider after agriculture.


Textile industry occupies a unique position in the Indian economy. The industry is something that keeps on changing with the change in time. The change in trend is prominent as people are becoming more and more conscious with the circulation of various media. The people, who earn a fair amount of income, are getting influenced by the foreign culture and spend a lot of money on buying various branded clothes.


Indian apparel sector plays an important role in international garment trade. The industry is working with an objective of reaching 7.5 billion by the end of 2012.Within the period of 2005 to 2009, the trade of garments has grown by 3 per cent (CAGR).


Global exports in Apparel Sector


Apparel sector is the largest contributor of global textile market. The world total exports in garment sector accounted for US$ 315.62 billion in 2009. China is the top most exporter of apparel in the international apparel market followed by India, Bangladesh and Vietnam. These top exporters accounted for 44 per cent of world total exports in 2009.


India's share in global exports


India's share in global exports stood at 4 per cent in 2009 as compared to china (34 per cent), Bangladesh (3 per cent), and Vietnam (3 per cent).


Exports from India


The export of apparels has become a main source of income for the industry and has enhanced the Indian garment economy for a better future. India's export to the world has been growing with 5.5 per cent per annum since 2005-06. In the financial year 2009-10, total garment exports from India accounted for US$ 10.7 billion. The major markets of Indian garment exports are USA, UK, Germany, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and France, wherein the USA accounted for a major share of 25 per cent in 2009-10.


The current export of Indian garment industry isUS$14 billion. Due to continuous increase in orders from the global buyers, it is expected to touch US$ 16 billion in 2012-13.


Challenges in Apparel Industry


The US and the EU continue to be the most important markets for Indian apparel industry. However, these countries have been insisting upon compliance to certain social, environmental and safety standards and norms by the producing units in the exporting countries.


The international garment trade market is very competitive and requires all the major suppliers to continuously improve their product basket in terms of quality and corporate social responsibility.


The apparel export promotion council of India (AEPC) helps the clothing industry to follow various global norms, which help the factories to improve their universal standards through development and implementation of tools.

Law Firms in India - Right Place for LLP Registration and NBFC Registration

   by chaman goyalin Business / Management    (submitted 2012-09-19)

As the name suggests, in a limited liability partnership all the partners have limited liability which means that every partner is liable for its own actions and not for the acts of others. Unlike a Partnership firm, in a LLP if any negligence or misconduct is caused on the part of ant partner, all others will be excluded from the liability arising out of such misconduct or negligence and the negligent partner alone will be liable. In a limited liability partnership, partners have a direct say in the business i.e. they can manage the business directly. A LLP is governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008. One more distinguishing feature of LLP is that a separate legal entity which can sue and be sued in its own name.

Features of LLP:

1) As already stated in a LLP, all the partners are liable for their own acts and not for the negligence and misconduct of others.
2) A LLP is a legal entity which is separate from its partners and can sue and be sued in its own name.
3) For constituting a LLP, it should have minimum two partners and there is no fixed limit for maximum no. of partners.

6) LLP should maintain annual accounts and if the contribution exceeds Rs. 25 lakhs or the annual turnover exceeds Rs 40 lakhs.
7) It should be a "for profit business".

A LLP is a business which is not only easy to run and manage but is also east to wind up and dissolve. And because of comparatively lower cost of formation, lesser compliance requirements, a LLP is rather an advantageous form of partnership. The only restriction to LLP is that it cannot raise money from public.
Incorporation of LLP:

1) First thing to be decided upon is about the partners and designated partners i.e. who all will be designated partners and who will be the partners in a LLP.
2) Then a Designated partner identification number and a digital certificate signature is to be obtained.
3) Then the name of the LLP is to be decided and it is to be checked whether it's available. It can be checked on the official website of ministry of corporate affairs.
4) Then comes the drafting of LLP agreement on such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the partners.
5) After drafting the LLP agreement. The partners can file the agreement along with incorporation documents and obtain certificate of incorporation from ministry of corporate affairs.

Key Drivers for Investing in Field Service Management Technologies

   by Sadie Hawkinsin Business / Management    (submitted 2012-09-19)

In the last few years we have seen a shift in the logic adopted by UK businesses when selecting field service management solutions from simple cost cutting to a definite emphasis on improving customer service. Business leaders are recognising that elements of their operations are inefficient and in a bid to increase the time spent on developing a better service for their customers they are seeking to replace time consuming daily tasks with more efficient and effective business processes.

One of the simplest areas a business can focus on when looking to improve their field based operations is paperwork. By replacing manual paperwork with real-time data transfer businesses can save time, reduce administration, reduce errors and offer their customers real-time information on job progress. Real-time information could include taking data feeds from vehicle tracking, PDA workflows or simple mobile forms designed to suit the requirements of the individual business. By using electronic data capture businesses can eliminate timesheets, mileage sheets, job sheets and more, saving time and money that can be utilised to further optimise service delivery.

Customer demand is driving a requirement for accurate up to the minute information on job progress and businesses are recognising that if they don't invest in the latest field service management technology in order to deliver, their customer retention rates will suffer.

Businesses are moving away from decision making within traditional departmental silos when it comes to looking for field service management solutions. Historically within the majority of businesses, purchasing decisions were made by individual department heads, however today businesses tend to take a more holistic approach to choosing a supplier. More often than not business projects will now be considered by the entire management team in order to ensure that a solution meets both the needs of the service department and the rest of the business.

Fed up with dated technology and inflexible systems that no longer suit their business needs, decision makers are seeking out sustainable, robust and cost effective solutions. Businesses want field service management partners they can rely on to streamline communications, provide full audit capability and 24/7 support throughout the lifetime of the contract.

Businesses are looking for partners to help them deliver a better service, they expect a partner who can deliver exceptional service now and in the future.

If you're looking for flexible, reliable and effective field service management solutions consider a company that can supply a single platform solution.

Service Management Technology - The Evolution of Customer Service

   by Sadie Hawkinsin Business / Management    (submitted 2012-09-19)

With the major developments we've witnessed in technology over the last 20 years, is it any wonder that customers are becoming more demanding. Customers are becoming less patient when it comes to customer service; wanting instant satisfaction, instant access to information and a high level of personalisation.

Not only has the economy changed significantly over the last decade, so too have our lives. Gone are the days that customers accept that ordering a new sofa or booking a service on a boiler meant taking a full day off work. As our lifestyles get busier it is no longer convenient for many of us to take time off work to wait in for a service or delivery.

So why are many companies still debating whether they need to invest in service management technologies to survive?

Instant Access to Information

Given the shift from a push to pull culture in the market place the visibility that service management solutions can offer your business is essential in satisfying a customer's need for instant access to information regarding their service or delivery. When a customer calls your offices for an update they expect to be able to get the information they need straight away, they do not expect to be passed from one employee to another and they certainly don't expect to have to wait for a call back whilst the office contacts the driver. It's this proficiency that will encourage a customer to choose one provider over another.

Cost Cutting

If service management technology is implemented to assist with the end-to-end business process the business can cut costs in a number of other ways. Vehicle tracking modules can help by reducing mileage, trimming speeding and promoting better driving behaviour you can have a positive impact on reducing fuel costs. Unauthorised use of company vehicles is minimised and results in further reductions in fuel costs. Benefit from a reduction in penalties for non attendance through better management of resources and SLA's plus you have the ability to protect your employees and the business against inaccurate tickets and speeding fines.

Reduction in Paperwork

When the engineer or driver finishes for the day all records of the customer visits they have completed have been sent directly to the office electronically and in real-time and their hours are recorded via the first depart and last arrival received from the vehicle tracking device. The employee no longer has to manually submit paperwork and they can rest easy in the knowledge that they will be paid for the hours they worked that week.

Eliminating paperwork from your business processes and utilising PDA's for real-time data capture saves you money on stationary, travel to and from the office and administration associated with data entry. Your business removes the requirement for duplication of data entry as the engineer on site can record the issues, action taken, gather customer signatures and photographic evidence which can be sent back to the office immediately and stored on back office systems. Overtime payments are reduced by eliminating unnecessary, time consuming tasks, resulting in productivity increases and greater savings.

Fleet Maintenance

Fleet management solutions that enable businesses to efficiently manage your company servicing and maintenance can also reduce administration costs significantly. By actively managing your fleet and carrying out preventative maintenance you can reduce the volume of critical repairs and balance out mileage across the fleet reducing servicing costs and wear and tear. If you can find a supplier that can offer all of these modules on a single platform the chances are that you will save money on the whole solution too.

In Summary

One of the biggest challenges in today's market is convincing a business to invest money in technology and there is no escaping the fact that the investment is going to need to generate a return in order to cover the costs. Deciding on the right partner will be one of the biggest influencers regarding how soon you will cover your investment. Choosing a technology partner who will work closely with your business ensuring that their solutions are aligned perfectly with your processes throughout the lifetime of the contract will result in a much quicker ROI.
