COMPANY OVERVIEW
The Tata group comprises over 100 operating companies in seven business sectors:
communications and information technology, engineering, materials, services, energy, consumer
products and chemicals. The group has operations in more than 80 countries across six
continents, and its companies export products and services to 85 countries.
The total revenue of Tata companies, taken together, was $83.3 billion (around Rs3796.75
billion) in 2010-11, with 58 per cent of this coming from business outside India. Tata companies
employ over 425,000 people worldwide. The Tata name has been respected in India for more
than 140 years for its adherence to strong values and business ethics.
Every Tata company or enterprise operates independently. Each of these companies has its own
board of directors and shareholders, to whom it is answerable. There are 31 publicly listed Tata
enterprises and they have a combined market capitalization of about $82.31 billion (as on May
17, 2012), and a shareholder base of 3.6 million. The major Tata companies are Tata Steel, Tata
Motors, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Tata Power, Tata Chemicals, Tata Global Beverages,
Tata Teleservices, Titan, Tata Communications and Indian Hotels.
Founded by Jamsedji Tata in 1868, Tatas early years were inspired by the spirit of nationalism. It
pioneered several industries of national importance in India: steel, power, hospitality and airlines.
In more recent times, its pioneering spirit has been showcased by companies such as TCS,
Indias first software company, and Tata Motors, which made Indias first indigenously
developed car, the Indica, in 1998 and recently unveiled the worlds lowest-cost car, the Tata
Nano.
Going forward, Tata is focusing on new technologies and innovation to drive its business in India
and internationally. The Nano car is one example, as is the Eka supercomputer (developed by
another Tata company), which in 2008 was ranked the worlds fourth fastest.

Tata Motors Limited is India's largest automobile company, with consolidated revenues of INR 1,
23,133 crores (USD 27 billion) in 2010-11. It is the leader in commercial vehicles in each
segment, and among the top three in passenger vehicles with winning products in the compact,
midsize car and utility vehicle segments. It is the world's fourth largest truck and bus
manufacturer.
Part of the Tata Group, it was formerly known as TELCO (TATA Engineering and Locomotive
Company).
The company's over 25,000 employees are guided by the vision to be ''best in the manner in
which we operate, best in the products we deliver, and best in our value system and ethics.''
Established in 1945, Tata Motors' presence indeed cuts across the length and breadth of India.
Over 6.5 million Tata vehicles ply on Indian roads, since the first rolled out in 1954. The
company's manufacturing base in India is spread across Jamshedpur (Jharkhand), Pune
(Maharashtra), Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), Pantnagar (Uttarakhand), Sanand (Gujarat) and
Dharwad (Karnataka). Following a strategic alliance with Fiat in 2005, it has set up an industrial
joint venture with Fiat Group Automobiles at Ranjangaon (Maharashtra) to produce both Fiat
and Tata cars and Fiat power trains. The company's dealership, sales, services and spare parts
network comprises over 3,500 touch points.
Tata Motors, the first company from India's engineering sector to be listed in the New York Stock
Exchange (September 2004), has also emerged as an international automobile company.
Page 7 of
More than 150 models of vehicles and automotive products are being manufactured by TATA
Motors which includes cars and multi utility vehicles, buses from 12 seats to 60+ seats, trucks,
tippers, tractor trailers and defense vehicles.
Tata Motors is also expanding its international footprint, established through exports since 1961.
The company's commercial and passenger vehicles are already being marketed in several
countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia, South Asia, CIS, Russia and South
America. It has franchisee/joint venture assembly operations in Bangladesh, Ukraine, and
Senegal.
Established in 1945, the Jamshedpur unit was the Company's first unit and is spread over an area
of 822 acres. It consists of four major divisions - Truck Factory, Engine Factory, Cab & Cowl
Factories. The divestments in March 2000 hived off the Axle and Engine plants into independent
subsidiaries viz. TML Drivelines Limited, respectively.
The automobile project started with signing the collaboration with M/s Daimler Benz AG of
Stuttgart, West Germany on 2nd March, 1954. On 23rd October, the first TATA Mercedes Benz
vehicle bearing the famous star was rolled out. In June 1969, the 15 years collaboration with
Daimler Benz came to an end and the 1,78,809th vehicle was rolled out of the plant bearing the
Tata T.
The Truck Division boasts of two assembly lines. The main assembly line, measuring 180 m in
length has 20 work stations with a vehicle rolling out every 8 minutes. The other line is dedicated
to special purpose vehicles and for meeting the requirements of the Indian Army. The uniqueness
of the Factory lies in its possession of
The Cab & Cowl Factory is equipped with state-of-art facilities like Centralized Paint Shop and
Automated Painting set up, Robot painting, BIW Fabrication of day & sleeper cabs for trucks,
Articulates (Tractor/ Trailer), BIW Fabrication of Cowls for buses, and other miscellaneous

This division is the place where the final chassis of the automobile gets assembled. It is fed by
divisions like the Engine Division with aggregates of engine, axles, steering and gearbox and the
Forge division, which supplies the spring leaves for mounting axles on the chassis.
The frame or the load carrying structure is made in the frame shop located in this division and
the cowl (SFC & LP) types are provided by the cowl shop which uses modern carbon dioxide
and spot welding techniques for fabrication of the cowls.
ENGINE DIVISION
Engine Division is involved in manufacturing of engine. Raw materials to this division come in
the form of castings like the cylinder head, block, clutch housing, or forging like crankshaft, con
rods,.
All manufactured components are routed through either engine assembly or gearbox assembly.
The gear box, after assembly, finds its way to engine assembly where ultimately the engine,
complete gear box is assembled on AGVs (Automatic Guided Vehicles) and then send for testing
on Saj-Froude. Electronic test beds, where the engine is checked for load performance and speed
and smoke emission.
TML DRIVELINES
Axle division is located partially inside and partially outside the complex. The manufacturing
activities of the front and rear axle, the propeller shaft and the steering gearbox, king pin boring
and pad hole drilling are the most critical operations performed in the axle.
Perhaps the most critical component being manufactured in this division is the steering gearbox
assembly. The machining operation like grinding and lapping are performed here. The front axle
and rear axle are assembled on AGVs before they are send to truck division for assembly on
chassis.
The forge is divided between the inner and the outer complex. A variety of forging like camshaft,
front axle, stub-axle, con rod, pitman arm, bevel gears, crown wheel blank are being produced in
this division.
Page 15 of
The forge (outer complex) produces the front axle and the crank shaft on fully automated
Kurimoto and Nisei lines respectively. The spring shop in this division produces spring leaves
(about 130 sets per day) which are send to the truck division for mounting the axles on the frame.
FOUNDRY DIVISION
The foundry division caters to the requirement of both the automobile and Excavators castings.
From the thin-walled to the heavily cored casting, the foundry of TATA MOTORS can boast to
be one of the most advanced captive foundries, producing castings by green sand molding
process. The casting is of alloyed and unalloyed cast/Grey iron, spheroidal graphite and low
carbon and alloy steels.
TATA HITACHI
Excavators division has started making of mechanical excavators and cranes in collaboration
with M/s Harnischfeger Crop. (USA).
The manufacturing facilities include fabrication facilities, typically carbon dioxide welding, and
are available for fabrication of the frame, car-body, book etc. of the excavators.
Page 16 of
The support services of all manufacturing shops in terms of providing electricity, compressed air,
air conditioning, industrial gases. etc. is the function of the engineering service division .
Skills
Page 17 of
Training, as was stated earlier, is imparting skills to employees. A worker needsskills to operate
machines, and use other equipments with least damage or scrap. This is a basic skill without
which the operator will not be able to function. There is also the need for motor skills. Motor
skills refer to performance of specific physical activities. These skills involve training to move
various parts of ones body in response to certain external and internal stimuli. Common motor
skills include walking, riding a bicycle, tying a shoelace, throwing a ball and driving a car. Motor
skills are needed for all employees from the clerk to the general manager. Employees,
particularly supervisors and executives, need Interpersonal skills popular known as the people
skills. Interpersonal skills areneeded to understand one self and others better, and act accordingly.
Examplesof interpersonal skills include listening, persuading etc.
Education
The purpose of education is to teach theoretical concepts and develop a sense of reasoning and
judgment. That any training and development programme must contain an element of education
is well understood by HR specialist. Any such programme has university professors as resource
persons to enlighten participants about theoretical knowledge of the topic proposed to be
discussed.In fact organizations depute or encourage employees to do courses on a part time basis.
Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) are known to attend refreshercourses conducted by business
schools.
Development
Page 18 of
Another component of a training and development is development which is lessskill oriented but
stressed on knowledge. Knowledge about business environment, management principles and
techniques, human relations, specificindustry analysis and the like is useful for better
management of the company.
Ethics
There is need for imparting greater ethical orientation to a training and development programme.
There is no denial of the fact that ethics are largely ignored in businesses. Unethical practices
abound in marketing, finance and production function in an organization. They are less see and
talked about in the personnel function. If the production, finance and marketing personnel
indulge in unethical practices the fault rests on the HR manager. It is his/her duty toenlighten all
the employees in the organization about the need of ethical behaviour.
Attitudinal Changes
Attitudes represent feeling and beliefs of individuals towards others. Attitude affects motivation,
satisfaction and job commitment. Negative attitudes need to be converted into positive attitudes.
Changing negative attitudes is difficult because
1. Employees refuse to changes
2. They have prior commitments
3. And information needed to change attitudes may not be sufficient
Nevertheless, attitude must be changed so that employees feel committed to the
organization, are motivated for better performance, and derive satisfaction from
there jobs and the work environment
Page 19 of
Decision making skill and problem solving skills focus on method and techniques for making
organizational decisions and solving work-related problems. Learning related to decision-making
and problem-solving skills seeks to improve trainees abilities to define structure problems,
collect and analysis information, generate alternative solution and make an optimal decision
among alternatives. Training of this type is typically provided to potential managers, supervisors
and professionals.
Make learning fun. Why? Trainees will not be enthusiastic if training sessions are dry
and dull. Few employees respond to or remember complicated concepts or theories; they
want to learn practical information about what they can do to get better results today. If
they dont find the message entertaining, they wont retain it. Since variety is the spice of
life, use several different training methods to engage trainees in a variety of ways. Also
work to alternate the pace of each session to keep trainees interest level high.
Use humor. Humor helps keep enthusiasm at peak levels. Trainers can make a point
more effectively by using humor than by drowning trainees in statistics or theories. Avoid
telling jokes, however, because humor is so subjective that someone in your audience
may be offended and lose track of training for the rest of the session. Personal, selfdeprecating humor is the safest way to go.
Use attractive packaging. Use materials that are well-packaged and that
communicate value. Professional packaging is a powerful tool for setting a good first
impression.
Encourage participation. Make the session lively by engaging participants in the
learning process. In fact, try to spend close to 80 percent of training time on group
participation. Encourage everyone in the training session to speak freely and candidly,
because learning occurs most readily when feelings are involved.
Build self-esteem. Employees understandably want to know whats in it for them.
They know that most training programs are designed to make money for the company,
but rarely does training lift employees spirits or help them to become better in their own
lives. Create a win-win environment by using the training program to build the
participants self-worth and self-esteem.
Page 20 of
Good communicators. They speak well, express their thoughts clearly, and have an
engaging presentation style.
Knowledgeable. They know their topic cold. They understand all the concepts and
know all the details. They can answer questions thoroughly and at a level that trainees
understand. If they ever cant answer a question, they know exactly where to go to get
that answer and they promise to do so as soon as possible.
Experienced. They know what theyre talking about. Theyve been in the field doing
what they teach in training.
Good with people. Their personality styles may vary, but they enjoy working with
people. They can engage groups of people and work with them to meet training goals.
Interested in learning. They recognize the value of learning in their own lives and
want to help others learn. They find satisfaction in sharing with others the skills and
knowledge they have acquired through hard work and persistence.
Patient. They understand that people learn in different ways and at different paces. They
take the time to make sure each trainee understands whats going on and leaves training
sessions with the skills and knowledge he or she came to acquire.
Open-minded. They respect other peoples points of view and know that there are often
many ways to achieve the same objectives. They dont assume they know everything, but
instead are willing to listen to and learn from trainees.
Creative. They bring ingenuity and their own natural curiosity to the task of training.
They create an environment in their training sessions that encourages learning and
inspires trainees to reach beyond what they already know to explore new ideas and
methods.
Well-prepared. They know their material, their objectives, and their plan of
presentation. Theyve checked to see that any equipment they expect to use in training is
in place and operational. Theyve made sure that all supplies and supporting materials are
available in the right quantities.
Flexible. They are able to adjust their training plan to accommodate their audience and
still meet all training objectives.
Well-organized. Good trainers can handle several tasks at once. They know how to
manage their time and their work.

OJT is conducted at the work site and in the context of the job. It is, much time,
informal. An experienced worker shows a trainee how to work on the job.
1.15.Conduct of Training
A final consideration is where the training and development programme is to be conducted.
Actually, the decision comes down to the following choices:
1. At the job itself
2. On site but not the job-for example, in a training room in the company
3. Off the site, such as in a university or college classroom, hotel, a resort, or
a conference centres.
Typically, basic skills are taught at the job, and basic grammar skills are taught
on the site. Much of interpersonal and conceptual skills are learnt off the site.
Page 25 of
1.19.Principles of Evaluation
Evaluation of the training programme must be based on the principles:
1. Evaluation specialist must be clear about the goals and purposes of evaluation.
2. Evaluation must be continuous and specific.
4. Evaluation must provide the means and focus for trainers to appraise themselves, their
practices and products.
5. Evaluation must be based on objective methods and standards.
Page 26 of
6. Realistic target dates must be set for each phase of the evaluation process. A sense of urgency
must be developed, but deadlines that are unreasonably high will result in poor evaluation.
Reaction Level
The purpose is to measure the individuals reaction to the training
activity. The benefit of Reaction level evaluation is to improve Training and
Development activity efficiency and effectiveness.
Learning Level
The basic purpose is to measure the learning transfer achieved by
Page 27 of
the training and development activity. Another purpose is to determine to what extent
the individual increased their knowledge, skills and changed their attitudes by
applying quantitative or qualitative assessment methods.
Behaviour Level
The basic purpose is to measure changes in behavior of the
individual as a result of the training and development activity and how well the
enhancement of knowledge, skill, attitudes has prepared them for their role.
Result Level
The purpose is to measure the contribution of training and development to the achievement of
the business/operational goals.
There are three possible opportunities to undertake an evaluation:
Page 28 of
Follow-up
This process may include several methods to assess the outcomes and effect of
training programs over time.
Our model draws from principles in Donald Kirkpatricks four-level model, in which evalution
questions fall into the following categories:
Reaction: How was the training overall? What did participants like and dislike?
Learning: What knowledge and abilities did participants learn at the training?
Behavior: How have participants applied the skills they learned?
G.L.Bajaj G.r noida
Page 29 of
1.20.TYPES OF TRAINING:Evaluation can be characterized as being either formative or summative (see Table below)
broadly (and this is not a rule), formative evaluation looks at what leads to an intervention
working (the process), whereas summative evaluation looks at the short-term to long-term
outcomes of an intervention on the target group.
Formative evaluation takes place in the lead up to the project, as well as during the project in
order to improve the project design as it is being implemented (continual
improvement).Formative evaluation often lends itself to qualitative methods of inquiry.
Summative evaluation takes place during and following the project implementation, and is
associated with more objective, quatitative method. The distinction between formative and
summative evaluation can become blurred. Generally it is important to know both how an
intervention works, as well as if it worked. it is therefore important to capture and assess both
qualitative and quantitative data.

Learning is a very complex topic, eg when a psychologist talks about 'learning' he can be
referring to any type of behaviour from simple arithmetic to designing a computer system.
Therefore the learning theories you find in textbooks are attempts to analyse and explain very
broad areas of human experience. However, our concern here is with only ONE kind of learning
- classroom learning. The principles of learning we cover in this paper are limited in scope to this
particular type of behaviour - how people learn in the formal training situation.
These principles of learning have been derived from research, experiment and experience. They
Page 32 of
are not unique to this course - you will find them in any syllabus for trainer training in one form
or another . Some are very old, while others have only been accepted fairly recently. Some which
used to be included have been dropped; which gives us a thought for the future. In ten years time
we may not be using the same principles - as our knowledge increases we may have to revise
some of our ideas.
SCOPE OF COURSE
Training (and education) is the application of these general principles to a particular learning
situation. These principles should help you to plan a good program, deliver it efficiently
and evaluateit afterwards. Here is a list of the principles we will be examining:
1 Feedback
2 Active Learning
3 Reinforcement
4 Meaningful Material
5 Multiple Sense Learning
6 Overlearning
7 Primary And Recency
Feedback
This principle states: Learning proceeds more efficiently when both instructor and trainee give
feedback to each other.
The instructor needs feedback to tell him how the trainee is progressing; and the trainee needs
feedback from the instructor on quality of performance.
Rules for the training room:
a Encourage trainees to ask questions
b Test frequently
c Maintain eye contact - this is a most important communication channel
d Discuss and correct errors; don't criticise them
e Give trainees knowledge of results as quickly as possible
Active Learning
This principle states: Trainees learn more quickly and effectively when they are actively involved
in the learning process.
The simplest expression of this idea is: We learn by doing. This applies equally to all forms of
Page 33 of
training.
Rules for the training room:
a Ask questions to stimulate thought
b Plan for exercises and tests in sessions
c Use projects and assignments to supplement lessons
d Use discussion methods from time to time
e Provide plenty of practical work
Warning
Beware of note taking as a form of Active Learning - the student's fingers may be active - but not
their brains.
Reinforcement
This principle states: Learning which is rewarded is more likely to be retained.
Of course this is how we train our pets and even our children.
Rules for the training room:
a When a trainee gives a right answer - tell him so
b Provide for early success in learning a new topic
c Prevent trainees from making mistakes as much as possible
NB: We will discuss this principle in more detail late in the course.
Meaningful Material
This principle states: Trainees understand (and therefore learn) material only when it is related to
their existing knowledge.
A trainee may be able to recall facts, etc., which he has committed to memory (by overlearning).
But if you want him to comprehend the material fully you must give him a frame of reference
into which he can fit these isolated bits of information so that a pattern develops in his mind.
Page 34 of
Page 35 of
These principles are not true under all conditions and sometimes they act against one another,
such as when our most recent impressions change or blot out our first impressions.
Rules for the training room:
a. Give a preview of the session
b. Summarise the important points of the session at the end
c. Prepare carefully what you are going to say and do during the first few minutes of the session
d. Remind trainees from time to time of the sequence in which they have learned a topic
Page 36 of
6.Provides for improvement of social interaction skills, greater acceptance of others, and a
greater sense of community in the class - in part by addressing learning style differences.
Students may even begin to create study groups for greater learning. Students who teach or tutor
each other learn more about each other and how to better communicate information to others.
Students benefit from building group skills by working together. Not everyone will agree;
students may learn to cope with those who have differing viewpoints, OR recognize that some
problems can be very complex and not easily solved with simple responses.
7. Encourages alternative forms of assessment. Professors have greater opportunities to observe
actual processing of information, seeing the results of group projects or field experiences. The
applied projects indicate true knowledge.
8. Promotes higher levels of achievement, greater depth of thought and improved attendance.
Enjoyment of interaction and relevancy of content tend to encourage students to master the
content. When students are responsible for reading a chapter, then use or discuss the content to
create a product find that retention is greater. This often leads to improved attendance.
9. Encourages innovation in both teaching and student involvement. Technology is easily
incorporated by students and/or professors. Students may email each other, join chat
rooms, and collaborate on group
projects effectively using the technology, rather than
meeting face-to-face. Students may present projects, activities, etc. using a variety of approaches
rather than the typical paper. They have more freedom to use their own strengths in the final
product. Students may determine the form of projects and often work well beyond initial
expectations.
Talk to faculty using active learning and get ideas from them.
2.
3.
4.
Read research and articles about the values and ways to use active learning.
5.
Pair work is often the easiest to begin using and has the least chance for social problems.
A worksheet in pairs is a simple way to start.
You may want to assign a reading and ask students to work together in class on a task related
to what has been read.
Page 37 of
6. Ask a colleague to observe active learning lessons and give constructive criticism.
7. If students are creating products, projects, etc., be sure to provide rubrics on how you will
grade the results.

solid guidance for the design of the training as well as a robust framework for evaluation posttraining. The three levels of objectives are:
Objectives
1. Ultimate: the performance issue that the organization is aiming to improve at departmental/
organizational level
2. Intermediate: changes in the behavior of the trainees that will be required in order to achieve
the ultimate objective
3. Immediate: the new knowledge, skills or attitudes that trainees should be aiming to acquire in
order to be able to change their behavior
Stage two: input what procedures are most likely to bring about change?
At this stage, the trainer considers the resources available and decides which input or method
will be most likely to achieve the objectives, e.g. coaching, training course or e-learning.
Stage three: reaction what evidence is there that change has occurred?
trainer collates feedback from the trainees on how useful they found the training. The most
commonly used method of As with the first level of Kirkpatricks evaluation model,[5] the
collating this type of information is the evaluation questionnaire or happy sheet.
Stage four: outcome what evidence is there that change has occurred?
stage involves collating and analyzing information on the effectiveness of the training in order to
improve subsequent training initiatives. The question relating to this stage (what evidence is
there that change has occurred?) can only be Often regarded as the traditional evaluation
process, this answered after the training. However, advance planning and preparation is required
to ensure that it can be answered afterwards. This means defining objectives (as in the context
stage) and constructing methods for measuring the achievement of these objectives.
There are three levels of outcome evaluation, which are defined in terms of the objectives drafted
at the context stage. These levels are similar to Kirkpatricks second, third and fourth levels, as
illustrated below:
CIRO Model
Immediate the new knowledge, skills or attitudes that
Kirkpatrick Model
Level Two what the trainees have learned, in terms of
knowledge, skills and attitude.

At the ultimate outcome level, the authors make a point that strikes a chord with many trainers
today and is at the heart of the great evaluation debate: is it possible to measure at this level?
[The ultimate outcomes] represent for the most part major departmental or organizational
objectives, so that many other members of the organization over and above the training staff will
be working towards them. When it happens that such objectives are attained it is hardly possible
to decide who, in particular, is responsible; the answer must be that many people together
contributed to their achievement. This is why it is rarely practicable to evaluate specific training
programmes at this ultimate level.

Context
Evaluation
Obtaining and using information about the current operational context in order to determine training
needs and objectives.
Input
Evaluation
Obtaining and using information about possible training resources in order to choose between
alternative inputs to training.
Reaction
Evaluation
Obtaining and using information about trainees expressed current or subsequent reactions in order to
improve training.
Outcome
Evaluation
Obtaining and using information about the outcomes of training in order to improve subsequent
training. Three levels of outcome evaluation are in terms of immediate, intermediate and ultimate
outcomes.

CIRO-I: Feedback captured for all training programs
CIRO is the abbreviated form of Context, Input, Result, Outcome by which Effectiveness of the
training is evaluated in Tata Motors. The model has two parts.
CIRO I feedback measures effectiveness as participants immediate reaction to the training.
CIRO II measures superiors feedback on the outcome of the training against the programmes
objective.

Analysis:From the following table, it can be clearly seen that the best out all programs was the Hydraulic
and CNC Programming, which has CIRO-II Score is 3.8,,Paint technology and Statistical process
Control 3.4,Welding 3.5, . Out of 12 programs held at the training centre 5 programs were rated
more than the threshold score while programs were just below or too low that the threshold
score.
The participants and the superior had stated some changes in these programs relating to course
content, duration, relevance and also application of the program to the job.

Training in technical program should be broken into modules and each module
should have both theory and practical, giving emphasis on the latter.
The feedback form should be made available in Hindi as well as in English so that the
participant being the operators can give an authentic feedback of the training attended.
Live examples from the organization and also from outside should be given as much as
possible for making the program much more real, authentic and motivating.

1.33.CONCLUSION:-
Measuring the effectiveness of training programs consumes valuable time and resources. As it is
known that all too well, these things are in short supply in organizations today.
Many training programs fail to deliver the expected organizational benefits. Having a wellstructured measuring system in place can help in determining where the problem lies. On a
positive note, being able to demonstrate a real and significant benefit to the organization from the
training can help in gaining more resources from important decision-makers.
It also should be considerd that the business environment is not standing still. The competitors,
technology, legislation and regulations are constantly changing. What was a successful training
program yesterday may not be a cost-effective program tomorrow. Being able to measure results
will help in adapting new circumstances.
