CONCLUSION APPENDIX
1. INTRODUCTION
The summer internship training was carried in the eNova technologies, Coimbatore. It involves the four main functional areas of an organization Research and Development (R&D), Marketing, Production and Finance. The two additional areas such as Human Resource (HR) and Total Quality Management (TQM). The summer internship training was made on the Research and Development department. Production is a processes and methods employed in transformation of tangible inputs and intangible inputs into goods or services. Production is the functional area responsible for turning inputs into finished outputs through a series of production processes. The production department manages the production schedule of five products initially. As the year goes, the production department also manages the newly introduced product in the market. The production department involves in the buy/sell capacity and the automation rating of the companys products in the market. The increase in the production schedule, products capacity and the automation rating are based upon the products demand in the market place. The unit sales forecast was made in the production department as recommended by the marketing department. The companys bottom-line depends upon the effective and efficient functioning of all the departments such as Research and Development (R&D), Marketing, Production and Finance, Human Resource (HR) and Total Quality Management (TQM). The Human Resource and Total Quality Management are maintained under the department of Logistics.

3.ORGANIZATIONCHART
Even though research and development has been carried out to its fullest there is no guarantee that the strategy they have produced will work, meaning money can go to waste from providing money for that research and development project and wasted end products. This may be due to consumer needs changing all the time or just the industry is adapting to quickly for that business. For every business research and development is a vital factor to its success or failure and also successfully implementing research, which they have gathered into their products to ensure that they have produced the best products available. R&D is responsible for inventing new sensors and re-engineering old ones. R&D determines each sensors physical characteristics: Size (The sensors dimensions; there is a trend towards miniaturization.) Performance (The sensors speed and sensitivity; there is a trend towards improvement) MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure; the sensors expected life span, measured in hours) 4.2 MARKETING Definition: Marketing is defined by the American Marketing Association (AMA) as "the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large." Marketing is the process by which companies create customer interest in products or services. It generates the strategy that underlies sales techniques, business communication, and business development. It is an integrated process through which companies build strong customer relationships and create value for their customers and for themselves. Marketing is used to identify the customer, to keep the customer, and to satisfy the customer. With the customer as the focus of its activities, it can be concluded that marketing management is one of the major components of business management. Marketing evolved to meet the stasis in developing new markets caused by mature markets and overcapacities in the last 2-3 centuries. The adoption of marketing strategies requires businesses to shift their
focus from production to the perceived needs and wants of their customers as the means of staying profitable. The term marketing concept holds that achieving organizational goals depends on knowing the needs and wants of target markets and delivering the desired satisfactions. It proposes that in order to satisfy its organizational objectives, an organization should anticipate the needs and wants of consumers and satisfy these more effectively than competitors. For each sensor model, the Marketing Department sets a: Price Promotion Budget (Promotion budgets create awareness; 100% awareness means every customer knows about the sensor) Sales Budget (Sales budgets build accessibility via salespeople and distribution systems; 100% accessibility means every customer can easily interact with the company) Sales Forecast(Forecasts are used by Production and Finance)
4.3 PRODUCTION
Definition: Processes and methods employed in transformation of tangible inputs (raw materials, semi-finished goods, or subassemblies) and intangible inputs (ideas, information, know how) into goods or services.
Product management is an organizational lifecycle function within a company dealing with the planning or forecasting or marketing of a product or products at all stages of the product lifecycle. Product management (inbound focused) and product marketing (outbound focused) are different yet complementary efforts with the objective of maximizing sales revenues, market share, and profit margins. The role of product management spans many activities from strategic to tactical and varies based on the organizational structure of the company.
10
Product management can be a function separate on its own and a member of marketing or engineering. While involved with the entire product lifecycle, product management's main focus is to drive new product development. According to the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA), superior and differentiated new products ones that deliver unique benefits and superior value to the customer is the number one driver of success and product profitability.
For each sensor, the Production Department sets as Schedules the number of sensors to manufacture based on Marketings sales forecasts, while also considering unsold units from the previous year (inventory) Changes capacity and automation on existing assembly lines. Adds assembly lines to manufacture new sensors.
4.4 FINANCE
Definition: A branch of economics concerned with resource allocation as well as resource management, acquisition and investment. Simply, finance deals with matters related to money and the markets. The finance department of a business takes responsibility for organising the financial and accounting affairs including the preparation and presentation of appropriate accounts, and the provision of financial information for managers.
11
4. Management of wages:
The wages section of the finance department will be responsible for calculating the wages and salaries of employees and organizing the collection of income tax and national insurance for the Inland Revenue.
5. Raising of finance:
The finance department will also be responsible for the technical details of how a business raises finance e.g. through loans, and the repayment of interest on that finance. In addition it will supervise the payment of dividends to shareholders. Finance Department makes sure all company activities are funded. While it is possible to fund activities entirely from operations, it is unlikely to happen in the early years. The company will need to turn to the capital markets. The company has three outside sources of money: Stock Issues Current Debt (These are one year bank notes.) Bonds (These are 10 year notes.)
12
Other Finance Department activities include: Issuing Dividends (Reduces retained earnings and increases leverage.) Retiring Stock (The Company can buy back stock to reduce shares outstanding.) Retiring Bonds (The Company can retire bonds before they come due.) Determining accounts payable and accounts receivable policies

Total Quality Management initiatives focus on improving individual operations within unrelated business processes whereas Six Sigma programs focus on improving all the operations within a single business process. Six Sigma projects require the skills of professionals that are certified as black belts whereas Total Quality Management initiatives are usually a part-time activity that can be managed by non-dedicated managers. Applications Where Six Sigma Is Better: Six Sigma initiatives are based on a preplanned project charter that outlines the scale of a project, financial targets, anticipated benefits and milestones. In comparison, organizations that have implemented Total Quality Management, work without fully knowing what the financial gains might be. Six Sigma is based on DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) that helps in making precise measurements, identifying exact problems, and providing solutions that can be measured. Six sigma is also different from Total Quality Management in that it is fact based and data driven, result oriented, providing quantifiable and measurable bottom-line results, linked to strategy and related to customer requirements. It is applicable to all common business processes such as administration, sales, marketing and Research and Development. Although many tools and techniques used in Six Sigma may appear similar to Total Quality Management, they are often distinct as in Six Sigma, the focus is on the strategic and systematic application of the tools on targeted projects at the appropriate time. It is predicted that Six Sigma will outlast Total Quality Management as it has the potential of achieving more than Total Quality Management.

The positioning of each sensor inside a market segment on the perceptual map The number of sensors in each segment The age of the sensors The reliability (MTBF rating) of each sensor in production , R & D affects or is affected by : o The cost of material o To purchase of new facilities to build new sensors o Automation level (the higher the automation level ,the longer it takes to complete an R&D project All R&D projects begin on January .If a sensor does not have a project already underway, you can launch a new project for the sensor. However, if a project begun in previous years has not finished by December 31 of last year, we will not able to launch a new project for sensor R&D decision affect the perceived age of your sensor. Revising sensors size and / or performance makes the market view it as a newer product. R&D decisions affect the material cost of yours sensors. Decreasing size, increasing MTBF increase the cost of material
16
The length of time required to revise a sensor varies. Slight revision can complete in three or four months; more compressive projects, two or three years .the longer the project, the greater the expense: a six month project cost $5000, 000; a 12 month project costs $1000.000. R&D invents sensors by assigning a name, performance, size and MTBF. Inventing a sensor always take then a year Our new sensor cannot built without an assembly line, a new assembly line take one full year to install. If we invent a sensor, we must coordinate with Production to time the delivery of our design with the delivery of our assembly line. The number of simultaneous projects affects the time required for each project to complete .As we added projects, dates, can slip.be sure to check the revision dates of all your projects.
17
The number of R&D projects underway at the same time The proximity of the products new location to an existing product in our companys line
Positioning cost
Positioning cost is computed on a monthly basis, and the month on a before and after basis if a repositioning of a product occurs. I the product sit still, its material cost gradually falls throughout the year. If the product reposition, during the month of the reposition, it has a before cost and after cost. The old product design is produced and sold until the revision date. Production then switches to the new design. Furthermore, our entire old inventory is revoked t match the new product specification. This will not affect the historical cost of the old inventory. Also we dont have to worry about both old and new design on the market
18
The reliability rating, or MTBF, for sensors can be adjusted up or down. Each 1000 hours of reliability (MTBF) adds ($.30*20000/1000=$6.00). Improving positioning and reliability will make a sensor more appealing to customers but doing so increase material cost 5.2 INVENTING SENSORS New sensors are assigned a name, performance, size, and MTBF. Of course, this specification should conform to the criteria of the intended market segment. The name of all sensors must have same first letter of the company name. The production department must order production capacity to build the new sensors one year in advance. Invention projects take a least one year to complete. All new sensors require capacity and automation, which should be purchased by the production department in the year prior to the sensors revision (release) date. If dont buy the assembly line the year prior to its introduction, we cannot manufacture our new sensor with a revision date of July I will be produced in the second half of the year. The capacity and automation will stand idle for the first half of the year

month project into two separate projects, with the first stage ending just before the end of the current year and the second ending halfway through the following year.

6. CONCLUSION
It is hard to understand something without direct experience and through this internship training program. I can able to gain knowledge about the functional departments in a company. Each department plays a major role in increasing the companys performance in the market. These all departments are needed in a different way in order to achieve the business objectives in most effective and efficient manner. The Research & Development department plays a vital role in any of the organization. With the help of this department, the product quality can be increased. We can develop the new products and maintain the existing products .It interfaces with the production department. It also deals with technical aspects. It helps to adopt innovative modifications in
28
the market. It adopts a continuous technology change and development as well as other competitors and the changing preference of customers. It forms as for all functioning of departments.
