G.S. SALES CORPORATION & RYAIT EXPORTS
Every business has to survive with in the periphery of healthy un-healthy environment. The mushrooming up of small manufacturing units in the last two decades and absence of Marketing-support-system added to the plight of small manufacturers. A mission namely “G.S. SALES CORPORATION” was embarked upon in 1994 to provide a platform to the local units by exploring synergies.
OUT SOURCING
Mainly from the domestic manufacturers consistency and incessant thirst for the quality is perpetuated by testing and inspection, using in house facilities.
RYAIT EXPORTS
Cottage has been backbone of Indian economy. Major chunk of our exports basket include goods produced by skilled artisans in the remote villages. Promotion and recognition of their skill is our prime concern.
Early 90’s witnessed severe forex crunch following which exports began to be perceived as patriotic activity. It apparently be came imperative for the Indian manufacturers to go Global. Conception of RYAIT EXPORTS in the year 1990 can be seen in this perspective, the derivative of our pragmatic approach.
The company is engaged in Export of Hand tools Automotive components for commercial vehicles, Machine tools and steel. Agricultural Implements and Handicrafts are other items on our shelves.
OTHER AREAS OF CONCERN
Education :
Children, the future of our Nation have the right to receive our best attention and proper nurturing. The humane approach of G.S. is manifested in the activities of education and social concern. Colleges and schools run by the management have set new standards in imparting education.
Presently, following institutes are being run by Education Trust formed for smooth functioning of its various institutes such as
Guru Nanak Public School.
Ramgarhia Girls College.
Ramgarhia Middle School.
Ramgarhia Senior Secondary School.
During our summer training we have completed our project entitled “AUTO MOTIVE COMPONENTS INDUSTRY, CHALLENGE & THREATS (A case study of Ludhiana Industry)”. As per the requirements we have collected information from some specific automotive companies regarding their (product range, quantity produced, distribution channels involved, payment terms, credit periods and quality assurance certificate form ISO through sampling survey technique.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research
Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One can also define as a scientific & systematic method for pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact, research is an art of scientific investigation. The advanced Learners’ dictionary of current English lays down the meaning of research as “a careful investigation or inquiry specially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge.” Redman & Mory define research as a “systemized effort to gain new knowledge” Some people consider research as a movement, a movement from known to unknown. It is actually a voyage of discovery. We all posses the vital instinct of inquisitiveness for when the UN known confronts us, we wonder & our inquisitiveness makes us probe & attain full & fuller understanding of unknown. This inquisitiveness is the mother of all knowledge & the method, which employs for obtaining the knowledge of what ever the unknown, can be termed as research.
In this section I have conducted a research on the consumer preferences, consumer requirements and frequency of buying the plastic products like furniture goods, toilet goods, electronic goods and kitchenware etc, with the help sampling survey technique. As we already know that all items in any field of inquiry constitute a Universe or Population. A complete enumeration of all items it the population is known as a censes inquiry. It can be presumed that in such inquiry when all the items are covered no element of chance is left & highest accuracy is obtained. But in practice this may not be true. Even slightest element of bias in such an inquiry will get larger & larger as the number of
observation increases. Moreover there is no way of checking the element of bias or its extents except through the resurvey or use of sample checks. Besides this type of inquiry involves a great deal of time, money & energy, therefore when field research is large this method becomes difficult to adopt because of resources involved. At time this method is practically beyond the reach of ordinary researchers. Perhaps, government is the only institution, which can get the complete enumeration carried out. Even the govt. this is very rare cases such as population censes conducted once in a decade.
So when the field of survey in practical life is to be undertaken, consideration of time & cost almost invariably lead to the selection of respondents i.e. selection of only few items. The respondents selected should be as a representative of the total population as possible in order to produce a miniature cross section. This selected respondent are called as sample. This method is called as sampling method.
We have also selected 35 automobile manufacturers in Ludhiana city to collect the information regarding their product range, channels of distribution, payment terms, credit period and any quality assurance certificate etc. We have adopted the “SURVEY TECHNIQUE” to collect the above mentioned information.
UNIT-4
FINDINGS
Comment: -
Out of 34 companies the 31 are manufacturing auto parts, remaining 3 are manufacturing the cycle parts.
Distribution Channel:
Comment:
The 22 factories are distributing their products through two level distribution channel i.e. they first sell their products to whole seller, then whole seller sell those products to retailers, then retailer again sell those products to unlimited consumers.
The 9 factories are using zero level distribution channel i.e. they sell their products directly to ultimate consumers. The 2 factories are using one level distribution channel i.e. they sell their products to whole seller and they sell those products to consumers. Only 1 factory is using three level distribution channels i.e. in which all-whole sellers, jobbers, retailers are involved.
Payment terms & credit period:
Comment :-
Most of the factories are giving their products to whole seller or retailers on credit basis and offering 30 days credit.
Only 4 companies are there which are giving their products only on cash basis and 6 companies are giving their products to parties at cash as well as credit basis.
These companies are small scale companies i.e. why they are not offering the credit period so longer like one year or more than this.
Customer base:
Comment :-
All these companies are distributing their products only in the domestic market i.e. in India only. The companies are distributing their products in foreign market they are first supply their products to the exporters who then supply those products in the foreign market.
Quality Certification
Since all these companies are in small scale sector not a single company has got the quality certificate from ISO. But it dose not mean that their quality is not up to the mark. In fact these companies are giving their products to ISO companies & the quality people from these companies visit in these companies after a fixed period to check the quality of their products.
Problem due to govt. policy
Nobody has given the satisfactorily answer of this question because all of these are running their companies by their own effort. They were telling that, they are not expecting any help from the govt.
side i.e. why we are unable to collect the solid answer from the owners of the companies regarding above mentioned question. Some of these has mentioned specifically the govt. policies like first stage tax of 4% excise policy etc. but not in broad way.
UNIT-5
CONCLUSION
As all of us know that automobile industry is backbone of Indian economy. In the vehicle’s world even a small kind of automobile component plays an important role as the larger one. Since long most of the manufacturers in India are making the automobile components for the vehicle like scooter, moter cycle, cars, trucks, jeeps etc
G.S. Auto International Limited is one of them. During our summer training we have completed the project “Automotive Components Industry, Challenges & Threats ( A case study of Ludhiana Induatry”) under the guidance of Mr. Jaspreet Singh (Asstt. Manager, Export) In this project report we have collected the information regarding product range, distribution channels, payment terms & any quality certificate from ISO etc., from some specific Automobile parts manufacturers of Ludhiana.
From this information collected one can say that the most of the manufacturers are running their business at small scale, even then they are not behind from the large scale manufacturers. If on the one hand they are satisfying the demand of domestic market, on the other hand they also not behind to serve the foreign market.
They have their own problems regarding the govt. policies like more excise duty, mote tax payment etc., Most of the manufactures were saying they have not got any help from the govt. at the time of starting their business, Presently we are not expecting any help from the govt. side.
So, In last but not least I would like to conclude that if the govt. provide some kind of help to the Automotive component manufacturers of Ludhiana city then they may establish themselves one of the best manufacturers & exporters in the world, but need is to take initiative.
