1 Industry Profile
The growth in the Indian glass industry is dominated by container glass segment, which accounts
for majority of the sales in terms of volume, according to a TechSci Research report. The
majority of the sales in terms of value is dominated by float glass segment and further in the
coming years sales in float glass segment of the Indian glass industry will increase on the
sidelines of real estate growth across retail, residential and office estate.
Liquor and Beer Industry forms almost 2/3 of the container glass demand in India followed by
food and pharmaceutical industry. Flat glass has created significant place in the glass industry
not just in India but on a global level. Total size of Flat Glass industry in India is 0.12 million
tonnes per month. Indian Glass Industry consists of architectural, automotive, value added glass,
mirrors & furniture segment which has market share of 45%, 15%, 15%, 10% & 15%
respectively.
Per capita glass consumption has increased significantly in India from 0.58 kg to 1.1 kg;
however it is still much lower as compared to other developing countries and much lower than
China, where it stands at around 15 kg.
India with 9 float plants is still way behind China which has approximately 196 float plants. This
suggests that India has immense potential to increase capacity.
Indian Glass Market is estimated to Increase at a CAGR of 15% over the Next Three Years.
Fuelled by growth in sectors like real estate, infrastructure, retail, automotive and food &
beverages, the country's glass industry will acquire a market size worth Rs 340 billion by 2015
from Rs 225 billion at present, according to a study by industry body Assocham. The glass
consumption growth is expected in construction (10-12%), automotive (20), consumer goods
(15-20) and pharmaceuticals (15-18) sectors.
Flat glass in India is majorly used for construction purpose, or by the automotive sector along
with railways. In terms of value, the construction sector of the country held a majority share in
sales of flat glass in the country. The recent infrastructural developments in the real estate sector
of the country are majorly responsible for the majority share of construction sector in the end
user analysis. The research and developments in the flat glass industry have led to production of
highly specialized form of glass intended for production of different products and applications.
All such developments are leading to positive growth in the flat glass market of India.

COMPANY MAIN WORKS
Their main work is to replace or repair the broken glass, so, it is necessary to know how glass is
broken.
Glass is fragile in nature and is designed to break. The most vulnerable glass is the Windshield
(front glass), since it is located at a very sensitive place in a vehicle. Please ensure it is original
glass and from any defects for driving.
Tempered glass breaks down into small bits like sugar particles .Laminated glass is safer as it is
made up of two sheets of glass with an interlayer of Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB), which prevents it
from breaking into small particles. This makes it much safer in the event of an accident because
the Windshield might crack but the vision of the driver will not be disturbed, allowing a
convenient onward journey. Only a laminated Windshield is safe, as it does not shatter on impact.
In case of head impact during accidents, the injury is minimized due to flexibility of windshield.
A Laminated Windshield does not break spontaneously unlike a tempered windshield. Thus the
chances of accidents are eliminated, as sudden breakages do not occur.
Tempered Windshield shatters in the form of sugar particles, thus causing severe facial or head
injury
Tempered glass is mainly used for side windows and rear glass.
Besides providing the finest repair and replacement service for broken car-glass, WindshieldExperts provide you with innovative products and services related to automotive glass.

The purpose of these studies is to discuss the concept of Franchise Management. Franchise has
evolved over the years and has become the most popular form of business ownership today.
Therefore to Understand the concept of franchise management these studies was firstly provided
the clarity on franchise management and also examined the management control issue.
This research provides an overview of the recent literature on franchising, with special attention
to management control issues. Based on an analysis of franchising articles published in twentyfive high-impact journals over the period 19962008, the literature is divided into the following
three broad streams: franchise initiation and subsequent propensity to franchise, franchise
performance and control of franchising relationships. Several research gaps and avenues for
future research are identified, especially towards a systematic study of management control
issues in the context of franchising relationships.
(Franchising: a Literature Review on Management and Control Issues.Sofie Verbieren,
1Martine Cools2 & Alexandra Van den Abbeele3)
There are a number of studies that have approached to the evaluation the performance of a
company. Some pioneer works have been undertaken to evaluate performance of companies but
very few studies have been done on financial aspects and its impact on the given economic
scenario
Salmi, T. and T. Martikainen (1994), in his "A review of the theoretical and empirical basis of
financial ratio analysis", has suggested that A systematic framework of financial statement
analysis along with the observed separate research trends might be useful for furthering the
development of research. If the research results in financial ratio analysis are to be useful for the
decision makers, the results must be theoretically consistent and empirically generalizable.
Greninger et al.(1996), identified and refined financial ratios using a Delphi study in the areas
of liquidity, savings, asset allocation, inflation protection, tax burden, housing expenses and,
insolvency. Based on the Delphi findings, they proposed a profile of financial well-being for the
typical family and individual.
10
Jae K.Shim & Joel G.Siegel (1999), had explained that the financial statement of an enterprise
present the raw data of its assets, liabilities and equities in the balance sheet and its revenue and
expenses in the income statement. Without subjecting these to data analysis, many fallacious
conclusions might be drawn concerning the financial condition of the enterprise. Financial
statement analysis is undertaken by creditors, investors and other financial statement users in
order to determine the credit worthiness and earning potential of an entity.
Singh P.K. (2003) evaluate the financial appraisal of IDBI Bank Ltd. by using accounting ratios
and applied t test and correlation for check the validity of hypotheses. The study concluded that
IDBI Bank is a progressive, technology driven and professionally managed entity. Bagchi S.K
(2004) analyzed the practical implication of accounting ratios in risk evaluation. The study
concluded that accounting ratios are still dominant factors in the matter of credit risk evaluation.
Tyagi et al (2005) examine the financial appraisal of Hindustan Liver Ltd. (HLL). Many
accounting ratios were calculated and analyzed in length to appreciate their impact on company's
performance. They used DuPont chart to check the overall credibility of company. The results
gave the conclusion that the company has managed its cash position very efficiently.
Vanitha et al. (2007) examined the financial performance of Indian Manufacturing Companies. In
order to evaluate the financial performance they used ratio analysis, mean, standard deviation
and 't' test as tools of analysis. The study found that in India merging companies were taken over
by companies with reputed and good management.
Gopinathan 2009), used financial ratios to analyze the financial performance. The analysis was
typically done to make sense of the massive amount of numbers presented in the financial
statements of the company. It helps to evaluate the performance of a company, so that investors
can decide whether to invest in that company. Different ratios categories like profitability ratios,
liquidity ratios, debt ratios, performance ratios and investment evaluation ratios are calculated for
covering the different aspects of performance.
11
Jenkins (2009), states in the study that technique of financial ratios analysis can help in gaining a
complete picture of the financial outlook of a company. The study states that the most important
thing is cost (fixed as well as variable). Fixed costs are those costs that are always present,
regardless of how much or how little is sold. Variable costs are the costs that increased or
decreased in ratios proportion to sales.
DAS S. (2010), analyzed and interpreted the financial statements of different companies viz.
ACC Ltd, Tata Steel, Jindal Steel and Power Limited, Hindustan Zinc Ltd. (HZL) and Gujarat
Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC) with respect to many financial ratios such as current
ratio, debt equity ratio, net profit margin, return on investment etc
Sheela (2011) reveals in his research paper the financial performance of Wheels India Ltd.
through various financial tools namely ratio analysis, comparative balance sheet and DuPont
analysis and also statistical tools such as trend analysis and correlation.
Under this research the relationship between franchising and entrepreneurship. This paper begins
with a review of studies on franchising in leading entrepreneurship and management journals
over a 12 year period. It illustrate how although the franchisor, franchise and the franchise
organization are important elements of entrepreneurship, there has been only a insignificant link
in the contribution of studies in franchising to entrepreneurship theorizing and vice-versa. The
paper suggested fruitful new avenues for franchise research which would integrate franchising as
an important, yet heterogeneous, form of entrepreneurship, namely: opportunities, network and
social capital and entrepreneurial learning. The Research is carried out in 2010.

from a home office. Example of business sectors include cleaning, motorist service and
repair/security systems.
Franchising concept first developed by Singer Company who produced sewing-machine.
Nevertheless, it is well-know because many fast-food restaurants successfully implemented this
concept over the world. The best example is McDonalds where franchisees have a right to
create new idea of their menus, while the business owner can still control the quality of foods
and services. McDonalds also ready to adapt themselves to marketing trend or customer demand
in each country that enable them to success in every market. Franchise is not limit to food
industry, but it can adjust in various industries such as retail shops, hotel chains, car rental,
consultant services, and so on as divided into 4 types: retail franchise, management franchise,
single owner franchise and investment franchise. Franchising has several advantages and some
disadvantages that the person who would like set up his or her business by franchise model need
to studied and selected proper franchisor before signing franchise contract.
Ratio analysis enables the analyst to compare items on a single financial statement or to examine
the relationships between items on two financial statements. After calculating ratios for each
year's financial data, the analyst can then examine trends for the company across years. Ratios
are often classified using the following terms: profitability ratios (also known as operating
ratios), liquidity ratios, and solvency ratios. Profitability ratios are gauges of the company's
operating success for a given period of time. Liquidity ratios are measures of the short-term
ability of the company to pay its debts when they come due and to meet unexpected needs for
cash. Solvency ratios indicate the ability of the company to meet its long-term obligations on a
continuing basis and thus to survive over a long period of time.
The objective of this research report is to study the financial status of the organization and the
process for selecting the liable franchise owner as income from the franchisee was increasing
year per year. Franchising provide the way to increase profits to business owners without new
capital investment and also enable new entrepreneur to success in their business. Customers
satisfaction has also increased through franchising because even if they travel to different
counties, they can trust the product and service from the same brand. Therefore, Win-Win
situation is occurred. So a model was being suggested
14
Primary Objective
The objective of the project is to study the process for selecting the liable franchise
owner and their management
Secondary Objective
To know the past status of the Franchisee Owner in terms of their supplied material &
services in existing business.
To collect and evaluate ideas/views and expectations of the market condition for the
improvement in providing services to the customer.

Types of research design: Every Research needs lots of dedication from the researchers part-the
amount of dedication mainly depends on the subject matter of the research. Before undertaking any
research in any subject areas one must be sure about the intended purpose of the research-this
purpose determines what type of research one is going to undertake. Any scientific research may
fall into the following three broadly categories:
Exploratory research: It is primarily done for the purpose of finding anything new in any
subject arena and always tries to shed some light in the unknown domain of knowledge
Constructive research: This is mainly done by many technological corporate in order to find
new/alternative solutions to any particular crisis or problems..
16
Empirical research: This is very impressive observational type of research, where one observes
or test on real-life data or analysis the pattern of some specific events in order to identify the nature
or the class of trend that specific phenomenon maintains. Based on the test result, researchers try to
draw lines in order to predict the result of that type of incidents with certain level of confidence.
Descriptive/Quantitative Research: Descriptive research is undertaken when the researcher
want to know the characteristics of certain groups. This type of research methods requires
quantifiable data involving numerical and statistical explanations. Quantitative analysis
hinges on researchers understanding the assumptions inherent within different statistical
models. It generates numerical data or information that can be converted into numbers. The
presentation of data is through tables containing data in the form of numbers and statistics.
Primary Method: Data that have been observed and recorded by the researchers for the
first time to their knowledge. This type of collection is expensive and is time consuming.
It is collected by:
Communication
Observation
Questionnaire
Secondary Method: Data that have been already collected by and readily available from other
sources. Such data are cheaper and more quickly obtainable than the primary data and also may
be available when primary data cannot be obtained at all.
The type of data collection used is a Secondary Source
Websites
internet,
Journals
Annual report& book.
17
Current Ratio: Current ratio indicates the firms ability to pay its current liabilities,
i.e. day-to-day financial obligations. It shows the strength of credit, strength of
working capital & capacity to carry on effective operations. Higher ratio i.e. more
than 2:1 indicates sound solvency position
(ii)
Quick Ratio or Acid Test Ratio: The Quick Ratio is a more absolute test of a firms
ability to meet its immediate liabilities. It base on those current assets, which are
highly liquid inventories, is excluded from the numerators of this ratio because
inventories are deemed to be the least liquid component of current assets.
(iii)
Net Working Capital: This ratio represents that part of the long-term fund
represented by the net worth & long-term debt, which are permanently blocked in
current assets. Certain minimum level of safety stock, permanent customers unpaid
18
bills, compensatory minimum bank balance & minimum cash balance are the
example of permanent working capital.
ACTIVITY RATIOS
The activity ratio of a company deals with its day-to-day operations and hence they are also used
for studying the working capital situation of the concern. The activity ratios examine how
quickly certain current assets like inventory, sundry debtors are converted into sales.
INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO
Inventory turnover ratio is also known as stock velocity. Every firm has to maintain a certain
level of inventory of the finished goods so as to be able to meet the requirements of the in the
financial crunch.
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Net Sales/Average Inventory at Cost
This ratio measures the velocity of conversation of stock into sales. Usually, a high
inventory turnover ratio indicates efficient management of inventory because more
frequently the stocks are sold; the lesser amount of money is required tofinance the
inventory.

Findings
The present work has been undertaken to analyze and assess the working Capital Management
Of SHEILD AUTO GLASS LIMITED DELHI. The analysis has been carried out in terms of
33
2006-07 as compared to the previous years. Company is more depend on external sources
of finance.
Suggestion
Financial
Inventory management of the company needs more attention, as the products and rating are huge
in numbers. The company should employ VED analysis for the raw materials and spares. The
company makes use of Economics Order Quantity to minimize cost of ordering and also redetermine the re-order level, Maximum stock levels from time to time.
The company should improve its Absolute Liquidity Ratio otherwise the company would not be
able to make interest payments or to meet operating expenses. The company should try to
minimize its investment in inventory in order to reduce the carrying cost.
The undertaking of selling and distribution expenses by the company on its own has resulted in
the decline of net profits. Therefore, to recover the amount of selling, expenses the selling price
35
per unit of the products of the company should be raised so that the company may sustain its
profitability and minimize the man power as maximum as possible.
Average Collection Period is to reduce to its minimum by speeding up collections. So, by strict
the stringent credit policy, if the collection period is slightly decreased with a view to push up the
sales, it would prove to be more profitable for the company.
Reducing the cost of goods sold can increase the profitability of the concern. A gross profit of the
concern is depended upon the costs of goods sold. If the amount of cost goods sold is reduced,
the Gross Profit is increased automatically. And with the increase in gross profit, the net profit of
the concern is also increased.
To sum up, the company not enjoys a sound position in terms of its liquidity and had not been
maintaining a satisfactory profitability position till 2007-08. In fact, the decrease in gross profit
is a negative indicator of the companys working. The fall in net profits is primarily a result of
the company having undertaken its selling and distribution expenses. If there are effectively
checked and recovered as suggested earlier, it will benefit the company, creditors, investors,
consumers and the public at large in the long run.
Franchisee
Company should train the employee of the franchisee time to time.
Company should make some changes in the process of making the franchisee.
*Assisting in location and buildings the full set up.
*Taking review on a fixed period.
Company should make more efficient their payment system.
Company should appoint a manager to manage the activities of the franchisee.

Conclusion
FINANCIAL
The companys liquidity is not up to the mark.
Inventory turnover ratio is continuously increasing that is a good sign for the companys
inventory management is improving.
In Ratio analysis it was found that Debt Equity ratio of the company is continuously
increasing due to the loss of the company. In recent two years loss has decreased but still
company is in loss it means companys administration expenses are very high. It states that
there is more human power than the requirement.
FRANCHAISE
The company should analyze the market (the four wheeler market) and should also look
for the opportunities available in after sale services.
After market analysis the second step is of selecting location (city). Location is selected on
the basis of market analysis and competitor analysis.
After this, applicant has to fill the prequalification form and submit their Assets Check List
and P/L Account of the existing business if any.
