PREFACE
Internship is the one step of a MBA student's academic career. For a student of the
Department of MBA, industrial training is essential for the complete understanding of the
concepts learned from formal education. There remains a huge gap between academic
learning and the implementation of that theoretical knowledge in the practical world of
modern business and commerce. Internship can balance this wide gap as it brings
opportunities for a student to understand the main trends of business activities.
It is said "Knowledge is Power". But it is partly correct as "Applied Knowledge Is Power".
Hence, the opportunity to get the practical training in an organization has fulfilled the above
condition and has enabled me to learn how most of the theory concepts are implemented in
the organization. It helps to fill the gap between the classroom study and practical scenario.
In compiling this report I have intended to provide a combination of theoretical approaches
and methods of implementing them in the world of business. I have tried to learn the
relationship between theoretical and practical type of knowledge. During the entire course of
our academic study we remain busy in theoretical learning where the primary objective is
academic success.
With these objectives, I have made all possible efforts and the necessary study to submit this
project report in a progressive form in a very short time. I have tried my level best to
eliminate errors from the project report. As I had to complete my internship within a short
period of time so the study admits its limitations.
I have done my project in FAG Bearings India Limited, PO. Maneja, Vadodara, as a part of
the internship program starting from 09 May 2016 to 09 July 2016.
Sincerely,
(Deepesh J. Gavli)

ABOUT THE PROJECT:


The main objective of the project is to prepare skills matrix for the operators working on the
production lines. The project involves mapping of the operators against the workstations or
the machines and their competency in each workstation as per the defined criteria for skill
mapping. The flexibility indices are also developed which enables to identify the operational
as well as the set up flexibility of an operator in a particular production line and also other
production lines within the segment and other segments.
The purpose of preparing such a skill matrix format is to visually recognise varying levels of
ability in a structured way. It can also help the management to develop focused training plans
to maximise flexibility and to enhance the development of every individual.
What is a skills matrix?

It is an integral part of our Visual Management System (VMS)


It is a simple visual tool to aid in the management, control & monitoring of skill

levels.
It displays all tasks & skills required to work in an area or team.
It displays all current team members.
For each team member it displays current competency/ability levels for each task.
It is a simple tool to aid resource planning.

How do we quantify the skill levels?

What is a skills matrix used for?

It highlights training needs for our most important resource.our employees.


To monitor & control training effectiveness.
To increase flexibility by allowing people to master a broad range of skills.
To drive improvements as part of a Visual Management System (VMS).
To increase the effectiveness of an area and the entire business.

Flexibility mapping:
Along with a skills matrix, flexibility index is also incorporated in the same format
which enables to identify the operational and set up flexibilities of every workstation
and every operator.
In operational flexibility mapping a minimum level of 2 is taken into consideration
whereas in set up flexibility mapping a minimum level of 3 is taken into
consideration.
Workstations or machines with their machine type or make are identified and
frequency of similar machines within the segment and outside the given segment is
also indicated in the format prepared for particular production line.

11

LIMITATIONS AND FURTHER SCOPE:

Time is the most important constraint in carrying out this project.


The busy schedule of operators and supervisors is also a limitation.
More accurate and efficient skill matrix can be developed by taking time method
study into consideration.
