6  Safety Issues in K.P. Metals
K.P.  Metals  is  a  leading  automotive  part  manufacturing  organisation  based  out  of
Manesar. It deals in manufacturing of automotive spare parts and supplies these parts to
leading  automotive organisations in India. There is a dedicated HR/IR department that
takes care of all employee issues including safety issues. The number of accidents at
the work-place of K.P. Metals showed a considerable increase in last 3 months. As a
result there has been an increase not only in the cost but also in the legal suits against
the organisation and also. This baffled management. hired a safety consultant to contain
the increasing number of accidents. The safety consultant conducted organisation wide
study  of  the  safety  policy,  types  of  past  accidents  and  also  interviewed  some  of  the
employees to understand their perspective on the safety-policy.
After  collating  the  data,  the  consultant  found  that  the  safety  policy  was  drafted  in  a
standard format and was not in accordance with the nature of job the employees were
doing.  The  safety  policy  clearly  mentioned  that  the  wet  floor  should  have  a  signage
board  with  “Wet  floor,  Mind  your  steps”  clearly  mentioned  on  it.  There  was  no  such
signage board in the work floor. The safety policy also clearly mentioned that no worker
should be allowed to enter the workplace without the helmet even if the worker is not
working on the machine. There were many workers who were working without helmets
on dangerous machines.  The safety consultant with help of HR/IR department, project
managers, inputs from the employees drafted a new customised safety policy and used
different inside-marketing tools to communicate the same across organisation. The new
safety policy categorically mentioned the rewards and punishments for not abiding by
the safety norms. It also made the supervisors responsible for any nonadherence to the
safety norms by workers. There was a subsequent decrease in the number of accidents
as soon as the new safety policy was introduced.
Discussion questions:
1.  Read the case and discuss what else could be incorporated in the safety policy
to ensure a safe work environment.
2.  What were the flaws in the previous safety policy and how the new safety policy
addressed those flaws?

2  Budget Estimation of ABC Company Ltd.
ABC Company Ltd., established in 1985, is engaged in the manufacturing of leather
accessories. Over the years, the company, which started out as a local firm,has made
its mark as an international corporation. However, the company is still working as a
traditional set up.
The  high  quality  and  durability  of  products  have  increased  the  demand  of  the
products in the market. As the production of the organisation is being increased to
meet the demand, the traditional set up is creating hurdles in the production process.
Organisation  conflicts  have  arisen  among  the  team  members  because  of  the
unorganised hierarchical structure of the company, which is affecting the output of
the organisation. Now that the management has decided to  expand the business and
opened  up  branches  abroad,  the  company  is  facing  two  more  problems.  The  first
problem  is  in  budgeting  as  the  company  is  unfamiliar  with  international  market
conditions, strategy, and business policy while the second problem is conflicts at the
time of team formation due to lack of experience of and exposure to multinational
work
culture, which has further affected the output of the company.
The  company  can  estimate  the  budget  through  two  methods,  the  bottom  -  up
approach  and  the  top  -  down  approach.  The  bottom  -up  approach  is  generally
followed by the MNCs as it is more accurate and reliable.
Mr.Parag has been appointed as the country head of the company and he has also
been assigned the responsibility of incorporating the advanced project set up in the
organisation.
Questions:
1.  Which project estimation approach should be used by the company and why
2.  What type of project organisation structure should be used by the company
and why?
1.  Argue  the  pros  and  cons  of  each
project estimation approach
Recommend the project estimation
approach that best suits the company
List the reasons for your decision by
mentioning the data from the case
2.  Describe  the  existing  organisation
structure
List the disadvantages of this structure
Recommend  the  project  organisation
structure  that  should  be  used  by  the
