? Data entry into computer software.
SWOT ANALYSIS:
STRENGTHS
? The Promoter is young political background and hasvast industrial experience
in the field of Sugar and is having good relationship with the local farmers.
This may help them in sugarcane procurement.
? No difficulty is envisaged in availability of raw material i.e. sugar cane, as the
project is coming up in the area of sugar cane growing belt with a good
irrigation facilities and good recovery.
? The area will not suffer draught as the Lift irrigation system of Almatti Dam
as already implemented hence the Sugar recovery in the area is good.
? The co-generation of power of 16 MW will improve the profitability of the
company.
? The by-product viz. molasses will bring additional revenue as it will be sold to
distillery units as raw material.
WEAKNESSES
? Co-Gen plant being capital intensive, economics of operations suffer in case of
shortened season.
? Government policy of full decontrol of sugar during 2003-04.
? Sugar imports will have bearing on the profit margins of the company.
? Any disturbance in the co-gen plant would interrupt sugar manufacturing
operations totally. The cost of such interruptions can be extremely high on
account of production loss, machine failure, and spillage of juice, sugar and
quality degradation.
? The promoters are having political background and changing loyalties by the
local farmers may affect them in sugarcane procurement.
OPPORTUNITIES

The number of macro-environmental factors is virtually unlimited. In practice, the
firm must prioritize and monitor those factors that influence its industry. Even so, it
may be difficult to forecast future trends with an acceptable level of accuracy. In this
regard, the firm may turn to scenario planning techniques to deal with high levels of
uncertainty in important macro-environmental variables.

of idle capacity. In operational terms, it implies that firm can expand its activity level
without requiring additional capital investments.
As a manager my initiative that I will take are the following:
? Sakarganj Sugar Mills Ltd needs these activities to act upon for improving its
performance.
? For assuring safety and security of workers, there should be a separate department.
? There should be a training program after three months or six month to provide the
employees required skill andto remove the gap from their performance. To make
employees punctual, there should be a card system.
? There should be family quarters for all married workers. All the employees
especially those associated with production should be encouraged, and should be
involved in decision making and empowered to make innovative decisions. In this
way employees can add to the organization, a lot. E.g.
? a new cost effective production technique can result in comparatively huge
profits.
? Work should be divided in team and reward should be on team based rather than
on individual basis.
? The shortage of water and fertilizers is remaining constant and government is not
taking any satisfactory action to reduce the shortage. Due to this shortage, sugar
cane crop is decreasing.
Suggestion:
? There should be a safety department in the company to assure the safety of the
workers.
? A regular training programme should be a permanent policy of the management
so as to provide not only the required skill to employees but also to help them
keeping their skills up to date.
? There should be card system for every employee from helper to manager for
punctuality.
? Wages of workers should not be less than Rs8000 per month.
? There should be family quarters for all married workers.
? There should be a high school and a college as well for boys and girls in the
factory area.
? There should be transport facility for workers within the district.
? All the employees especially those associated with production should be
encouraged, and should be involved in decision making and empowered to make
innovative decisions. In this way employees can add to the organization, a lot. E.g.
a new cost effective production technique can result in comparatively huge profits.

? Data entry into computer software.
SWOT ANALYSIS:
STRENGTHS
? The Promoter is young political background and hasvast industrial experience
in the field of Sugar and is having good relationship with the local farmers.
This may help them in sugarcane procurement.
? No difficulty is envisaged in availability of raw material i.e. sugar cane, as the
project is coming up in the area of sugar cane growing belt with a good
irrigation facilities and good recovery.
? The area will not suffer draught as the Lift irrigation system of Almatti Dam
as already implemented hence the Sugar recovery in the area is good.
? The co-generation of power of 16 MW will improve the profitability of the
company.
? The by-product viz. molasses will bring additional revenue as it will be sold to
distillery units as raw material.
WEAKNESSES
? Co-Gen plant being capital intensive, economics of operations suffer in case of
shortened season.
? Government policy of full decontrol of sugar during 2003-04.
? Sugar imports will have bearing on the profit margins of the company.
? Any disturbance in the co-gen plant would interrupt sugar manufacturing
operations totally. The cost of such interruptions can be extremely high on
account of production loss, machine failure, and spillage of juice, sugar and
quality degradation.
? The promoters are having political background and changing loyalties by the
local farmers may affect them in sugarcane procurement.
OPPORTUNITIES

The number of macro-environmental factors is virtually unlimited. In practice, the
firm must prioritize and monitor those factors that influence its industry. Even so, it
may be difficult to forecast future trends with an acceptable level of accuracy. In this
regard, the firm may turn to scenario planning techniques to deal with high levels of
uncertainty in important macro-environmental variables.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:

current liabilities, current assets of doable rupee are available. The current ratio
determines margin of safety for creditors, there has been decrease in the ratio during
2009 compared with 2008.
2. Quick Ratio/Acid Test Ratio:
Quick ratio establishes relationship between quick or liquid assets & current liabilities. It is
also known as acid test ratio. An asset is said to be liquid if it can be converted into case within short
period of time without loss of value. The prepaid expenses and stock were excluded.

over during the period & evaluates efficiency with which a firm is able manage
inventory. The ratio is calculated by dividing the net sales divided by average
inventory at cost.
ITR= Net Sales .
Average Inventory at Cost
Average inventory should be taken for calculating stock turnover ratio. Adding the stock in the
beginning & at the end of period & dividing it by 2 to calculate average inventory.

of idle capacity. In operational terms, it implies that firm can expand its activity level
without requiring additional capital investments.
As a manager my initiative that I will take are the following:
? Sakarganj Sugar Mills Ltd needs these activities to act upon for improving its
performance.
? For assuring safety and security of workers, there should be a separate department.
? There should be a training program after three months or six month to provide the
employees required skill andto remove the gap from their performance. To make
employees punctual, there should be a card system.
? There should be family quarters for all married workers. All the employees
especially those associated with production should be encouraged, and should be
involved in decision making and empowered to make innovative decisions. In this
way employees can add to the organization, a lot. E.g.
? a new cost effective production technique can result in comparatively huge
profits.
? Work should be divided in team and reward should be on team based rather than
on individual basis.
? The shortage of water and fertilizers is remaining constant and government is not
taking any satisfactory action to reduce the shortage. Due to this shortage, sugar
cane crop is decreasing.
Suggestion:
? There should be a safety department in the company to assure the safety of the
workers.
? A regular training programme should be a permanent policy of the management
so as to provide not only the required skill to employees but also to help them
keeping their skills up to date.
? There should be card system for every employee from helper to manager for
punctuality.
? Wages of workers should not be less than Rs8000 per month.
? There should be family quarters for all married workers.
? There should be a high school and a college as well for boys and girls in the
factory area.
? There should be transport facility for workers within the district.
? All the employees especially those associated with production should be
encouraged, and should be involved in decision making and empowered to make
innovative decisions. In this way employees can add to the organization, a lot. E.g.
a new cost effective production technique can result in comparatively huge profits.
