Percentage (%) Percentages are obtained when 100 multiply rations. The percentages of employees coming under the same category were found out as it helped to know the response of employees more clearly. b). Diagrams Diagrams are used for the Graphical representation of the data. The two type of diagrams are used they are pie-chart and bar diagram.
5. METHODOLOGY FOR PRESENTATION

Diagrams are used to present the data diagrammatically as this will give a clear idea about information diagrams used here are: a). Bar diagram b). Pie chart
a) Bar Diagram
The bar or column diagram consists of repeated or columns bar being rectangle of equal width. The bar can be vertical or horizontal. The width of the bars should be uniform through out the diagram. The gap between one here and another should be uniform through out.
b) Pie chart
If we want to show an aggregate also its divisions various parts a circle may be drawn and divided into various sector. This is called pie chart. Each sector represents each division since full angle 3600 around the center of the circle represents the whole data (i.e. 100%) each sector will have angle at the centre got by the formula. Pie chart enables used to make two types of comparison a). Comparison of individual components b). Comparison of each component with the total.

2. COMPANY PROFILE
Indian Rare Earths Limited in cooperated in the year 1950 at Bombay, is a Govt. of India undertaking under the administrative control of the Department of the Atomic Energy engaged in mining and processing of beach sand bearing heavy minerals from the costal belth. During 1951 IREL became a public sector undertaking and two minerals separation plans one at Manavalakurachi in TamilNadu (1967) and the other at Chavara, Kerala state (1970) were setup. Chavara plants engaged in the processing of beach sand deposits available on the coastal belt of Neendakara to Kayamkulam. IREs history should not be narrated with out mentioning the name of German Chemist Mr. Herr Schom Berg, who has realized that the shining yellowish brown sand particles sticking to coir, a coconut fibre shipped from India (1909), contained monazite. This sparkled the discovery of vast deposits of monazite, a rich sources of rare earths, a group of elements with a vide verity of uses in industry and science. A few plants were operating at Chavara and Manavalakurichi for the separation of Monazite. 1948 the Govt of India set up the Atomic Energy Commission under the Chairmanship of Dr. Homi Bhabha. The export of Monazite was stopped and the possibility of setting up a facility to process the beach sand mineral for the production of Rare earths was examined. 1950 Indian rare Earths Ltd. (IREL) was incorporated at Bombay. 1951 IREL became a full-fledged Central Government undertaking under Department of Atomic Energy and commenced construction of its Rare Earths plants at Udyogamandal in Kerala. 1952 Rare Earth plants were dedicated to the nation on December 24, by the late Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. 1955 opening of Thorium factory off Bobmay. 1965 opining of minerals division at Quilon in Kerala State with manufacturing facilities at Chavara in Kerala and at Manavalakurich in Tamil Nadu and a giant mineral sand separation and Synthetic Rutile plant at Chatrapur in Orissa (1986).

IRE CHAVARA UNIT

The Chavara plant of IREL is situated approximately 16 km north of Kollam. In 1956, under the instruction from Govt. of India, IREL took over the assets of the Travancore Minerals Limited. As the availability of raw material from beaches both items of quantity and quality diminished, the company augmented its requirement by dredging the inland deposits. The Chavara plant is engaged in mining and processing of beach sand minerals. In 1990 IREL erected and commissioned one concentrate upgrading plant (CUP). Then two plants are very sophisticated plants and after commissioning of these plants the production increased substantially. Chavara is known for supplying 60% Titanium dioxide to the titanium dioxide industry. As a part of the effort to increase production and upgrading the quality of raw sand feed, work on the Rs. 14 corers dredge and wet concentrator project was introduced at Chavara in 1987. Though the operation of the plants does not contribute any environmental pollution, care is taken to monitor and control liquid, gaseous and solid wastes to ensure that the safe climates and not exceeded. The Chavara plant engages 569 permanent employees, which includes 92 officers, 477 clerical staff and workman. There are also 1240 contract workers. At the IREL, the future is not hazy image into sharp focus like the sun rising over the eastern sand dunes shedding light and spreading prosperity. To shall the boom is the market for the titanium bearing minerals, the company is studying the feasibility of exploiting some new deposits which bearing minerals, such as ilmenite, rutile etc. in the near future in the Neendakara-Kayamkulam coast. The Neendakara-Kayamkulam coastal deposit commonly known as Chavara deposits occur on the 22 km long carrier bead with an average width of 200 meters between two tidal channels of Neendakara in the south and Kayamkulam in the north.

PRODUCTION PROCESS The raw sand is collected through mining which includes two different processes. (1) Beach Washing (2) Dredging
(1) Beach Washing:Beach washing is the process of collecting raw sand containing heavy minerals which gets deposited in the sea shore due to wave action.
(2) Dredging:Dredging is also known is Inland Mining. In this process the inland deposits are mined with the help of a dredge. It dredges raw sand at the rate of 120 met/hour by simultaneously upgrading the concentrate at the rate of 30 met/hour with 85% heavy minerals. The collected raw sand transported using tippers. During January 1990 IRE installed a Mineral Recovery Plant (MRP) for dredging minerals which dredges the mineral to a maximum depth of 8m. the raw sand content having an average of 40% heavy mineral is fed to the floating plant upgrading it to 85% heavy mineral content. The failing of MRP is used for the back fill. The concentrate from the MRP is fed to the concentrate upgrading plant (CUP) and further concentrate to 93%. The floating dredge plant consists of the spiral concentrators which are the tallest in design. The flow sheet of this floating plan is designed for maximum recovery of the minerals with minimum waste. Beach washing collected is also concentrated in the concentrate upgrading plant.

CHAPTER 3 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
19
REVIEW OF LITERATURE 1. BROAD AREA PERSONAL MANAGEMENT

The term personnel refers to a body of persons employed in a factory, office etc. so personnel management means management of people employed in any organization. It is related to the staffing functions. Without effort human beings resources like materials, machines and money would remain idle. To achieve the objectives of an organization efficient and effective use of human resources is essential. Personnel management is that search of management designed to ensure that every employee makes his fullest contribution for achieving goals of an enterprise. Personnel management is the art of procuring development and maintaining goal effectively.
2. NARROW DOWN FOCUS PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL AND FUNCTION AREA

Performance Appraisal is a merit rating systematic evolution of the performance of each employee. Once the employees has been selected and placed on their respective jobs. It is essential for the managers to conduct the performance appraisal to see how the employee has been effective of the jobs. It reflects how effectively individual is fulfilling the assigned job. Performance is always measured in terms of results. According to Beach Performance Appraisal is the systematic evaluation of the individual with regards to his/her performance on the job and his potential for development. Performance Appraisal is an integrated part of a system of managing. Effective Performance Appraisal recognizes legitimate desire of employees for progress in
20
their profession. Indian Rare Earth Limited has incorporated an efficient system of its employees. Firstly the employees asked to make self appraisal. There is a separate performance appraisal committee which consists of a reporting officer, reviewing officer and an evaluating officer. The reporting officer and identity a few key traits on the basis of which evaluation is done. Key traits may include personnel characteristics such as integrity, leadership, analytical, competence judgment and work related characteristics as job knowledge, interpersonal shill etc.
METHODS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL (1) Instructed Appraisal

Here the appraiser witness down his impression about the person being appraisal with out specific form. The appraiser writs whether he feels about the employee in his own way. There is no particular form for his appraisal.
(2) Ranking Method

It is a simple process of placing employees in a rank according to their job performance. The best worker is placed first in the rank and the worker occupies the last rank.
(3) Person to Person Comparison

Here the appraiser ranks by comprise one employees with all other employees group.
(4) Grading
Here the appraiser ranks by comparison placed in a system of grading like excellent, good, satisfaction, poor etc.
21
(5) Graphic Scales

Here the work of an employee is placed in factors or qualities are points the scale. Eg: Punctuality, honesty etc may be assigned values from 1 to 5 on a graphical scale. Sometimes instead of numerical letter grade (Scale as ABC and E) may be assigned.
(6) Check List

Here various statements are made describing various type of behaviors. The evaluator will check whether the employee satisfy requirements to the statement. He has to put Yes or No against the statement or to tick against Yes or No. the following is a model of check list. Is the employee interested in the job? Yes? YES NO
(7) Critical Incident

A critical incident means a significant art by a employees is excess or in short of the requirements of an employee at work. For eg: residing the implication of change refusing to accept a fellow worker. Welcoming new ideas etc. the supervisor is required to record all such significant incidents in employees behaviour indicating effective or ineffective behavior.
22
Objectives of performance appraisal

1. To maintain records in order to determine compensation packages, wages structure, salary raises etc. 2. To identify the strength and weakness of employees to place right men on right job. 3. To maintain and access the potential present in a person for further growth and development. 4. To provide a feed back to employees regarding their performance and related status. 5. It serves as a basis for influencing working habits of the employees. 6. To review and retain the promotional and other training programs.
LIMITATIONS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL 1.

Effectiveness of any appraisal depends upon the person, who appraises if the appraiser is not experience and qualified his appraiser may prove to be wrong. Similarly the appraiser is highly qualified and highly competetent. 2. In most cases appraisal is done with the help of observation of the supervisors if the no: of workers. 3. The appraiser himself may show leniency towards some workers. Those workers whom the supervisor likes to get a favorable appraisal reports while other may be neglected. 4. If the supervisor for the appraisal is a busy person he will not get adequate time to appraise the performance of each worker. Thus the effectiveness of the appraisal system is lost. 5. If is different to fix an uniform standard for measuring performance of all workers while production may be used as a standard in production department. It is difficult to fix such a standard in Research and Development for Relation department.
23
6.
Appraisal may result in strained relation between the labour and supervisors. These workers whom have been rated as poor will complain against the superior and oppose them.
7.
In performance appraisal some management give more importance to punishing worker who are below standard rather than correcting them and helping them to know their drawbacks.
Benefits of performance appraisal

1. Improved performance throughout the organization due to: Increased sense of cohesiveness and loyalty. Managers are better equipped to use their leadership skills and to develop their staff. Effective communication of organizations objectives and values. 2. Improved overview of tasks performed by each member of a group. 3. Identification of ideas for improvement. 4. Creation and maintenance of a culture of continuous improvement. 5. Communication to people that they are valued.

CHAPTER 4 DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
25
Data analysis and Interpretation

The analysis is done on the basis of detailed questionnaires so sample questions are issued to the employee on the basis of questionnaire. They are tabulation and graphical representation.
1. Tabulation
Tabular representation is the systematic presentation of data in rows and columns through tables. 2. Graphical representation Graphic representation of the data is an important compliment to data presentation. Graphics and diagrams are visual forms of presenting data. In this analysis two types of graphs are used a).Bar diagram A bar chart is a graph that consists to a number of retackle (called bars) of equal width and length of height of propositional to the values they present. They are drown on a horizontal or vertical based at equal distance. These bar diagrams are called known as simple bar diagram. b). Pie chart Pie charts are used to present the relative size components in an aggregate. Pie chart is a circle broken down into component sectors they should be used on a percentage basis and not on absolute basis. Such sector represents each division. Since full angle 3600 around the center of the circle represents the whole data (i.e. 100%) each sector will have angle at the center got by the formula. [Each value/Total of the Value X 3600]
