1.1 INTRODUCTION
The term ‘organization’ has been defined by many experts of management in different ways, and
while defining the term they have put emphasis on its different aspects. This has created a lot of
confusion. Generally, organization refers to a group or an association or an institution of individuals
working together for achieving predetermined common goals. So an organization is inevitable in those
situations where two or more individuals work together to achieve a common objective. It may also
defined as a planned unit formed by individuals for pursuing specific goals. The organization may
further be viewed as a collective entity of individuals putting in joint effort to seek their common
interests.
Organizational study is "the examination of how individuals construct organizational structures,
processes, and practices and how these, in turn, shape social relations and create institutions that
ultimately influence people", organizational studies comprise different areas that deal with the
different aspects of the organizations, many of the approaches are functionalist but critical
research also provide alternative frame for understanding in the field.
Organization is the backbone of management. Without efficient organization, no management can
perform its functions smoothly. Sound Organization contributes greatly to the continuity and success
of the enterprise.
The organizational study undergone during the month of May was for partial fulfillment of the award
of degree of Master of Business Administration of Mahatma Gandhi University. It helps to know more
about the functions, structure, policies and different procedures undertaken in an organization. The
study abridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical working condition. The
organizational study was conducted at KERALA STATE DRUGS AND PHARMACEUTICALS Ltd
which is the only pharmaceutical undertaking of government of Kerala. The study helped me to know
the various functions in the organization. Every organization can be conceived as consisting of various
subsystem or parts. Effective functioning of each of these parts is essential for effective functioning of
the organization. In addition, the coordinated functioning of these subsystems also contributes to
organizational effectiveness. For making organizational diagnosis the, strength weakness and potential
Page | 2
of each of the subsystem need to be examined, hi addition the various processes that contributes to the
effective functioning of the organization as a whole to be examined.
1.2 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The organizational study helps us to familiarize with the practical side of organizational functions.
Thus an analysis is made through studies in which the theoretical aspect is compared with the actual
situation. The scopes of the study are:-
• This study aims to acquire an overall knowledge about all the Departments and
procedures being carried out in the organization.
• To have an exposure in working environment of an organization.
• This study help to understand the decision making process in an organization and also
to know the organization system.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The organizational study is to familiarize with a business organization and the operation of its
departments and also interact with the managers at various levels of the organization hierarchy to
acquire awareness about the practical side of the theories. Also the scope of the study covers
examination of the structure of the organization, seeking information about the products produced and
study on the functions of various departments of the firm.
 To carry out a departmental study or analysis at Kerala Drugs and Pharmaceuticals LTD.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
2.1 Background
The Pharmaceutical Industry today is in the front rank of India’s science-based industries
with wide ranging capabilities in the complex field of drug manufacture and technology. It ranks very
high in the third world, in terms of technology, quality and range of medicines manufactured. From
simple headache pills to sophisticated antibiotics and complex cardiac compounds, almost every type
of medicine is now made indigenously.
The Indian pharmaceutical sector has come a long way, being almost non-existent before 1970
to a prominent provider of healthcare products, meeting almost 95 per cent of the country's
pharmaceuticals needs. The Industry today is in the front rank of India’s science-based industries with
wide ranging capabilities in the complex field of drug manufacture and technology. It ranks very high
in the third world, in terms of technology, quality and range of medicines manufactured. From simple
headache pills to sophisticated antibiotics and complex cardiac compounds, almost every type of
medicine is now made indigenously.
The Indian Pharmaceutical sector is highly fragmented with more than 20,000 registered units
with severe price competition and government price control. It has expanded drastically in the last two
decades. There are about 250 large units that control 70 per cent of the market with market leader
holding nearly 7 per cent of the market share and about 8000 Small Scale Units together which form
the core of the pharmaceutical industry in India (including 5 Central Public Sector Units). These units
produce the complete range of pharmaceutical formulations, i.e., medicines ready for consumption by
patients and about 350 bulk drugs, i.e., chemicals having therapeutic value and used for production of
pharmaceutical formulations.
Page | 5
2.2 Growth Scenario
India's pharmaceutical industry is now the third largest in the world in terms of volume. Its
rank is 14th in terms of value. Between September 2008 and September 2009, the total turnover of
India's pharmaceuticals industry was US$ 21.04 billion. The domestic market was worth US$ 12.26
billion. This was reported by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals and
Fertilizers. As per a report by IMS Health India, the Indian pharmaceutical market reached US$ 10.04
billion in size in July 2010. A highly organized sector, the Indian Pharma Industry is estimated to be
worth $ 4.5 billion, growing at about 8 to 9 percent annually
2.3 Domestic Demand
The industry has enormous growth potential. Factors listed below determine the rising demand
for pharmaceuticals.
• The growing population of over of a billion
• Increasing income
• Demand for quality healthcare service
• Changing lifestyle has led to change in disease patterns, and increased demand for new medicines to
combat lifestyle related diseases
More than 85 per cent of the formulations produced in the country are sold in the domestic
market. India is largely self-sufficient in case of formulations. Some lifesaving, new generation under-
patent formulations continue to be imported, especially by MNCs, which then market them in India.
Overall, the size of the domestic formulations market is around Rs160 billion and it is growing at 9 per
cent per annum.
2.4 Future Prospects
The Indian pharmaceuticals market is expected to reach US$ 55 billion in 2020 from US$ 12.6
billion in 2009. This was stated in a report title "India Pharma 2020: Propelling access and acceptance,
realizing true potential" by McKinsey & Company. In the same report, it was also mentioned that in an
aggressive growth scenario, the pharmaceuticals market has the further potential to reach US$ 70
Page | 6
billion by 2020 Due to increase in the population of high income group, there is every likelihood that
they will open a potential US$ 8 billion market for multinational companies selling costly drugs by
2015. This was estimated in a report by Ernst & Young. The domestic Pharma market is estimated to
touch US$ 20 billion by 2015. The healthcare market in India to reach US$ 31.59 billion by 2020. The
sale of all types of pharmaceutical drugs and medicines in the country stands at US$ 9.61 billion,
which is expected to reach around US$ 19.22 billion by 2012. Thus India would really become a
lucrative destination for clinical trials for global giants.

2.7 Strengths Of Indian Pharmaceutical Industries
 Competent workforce
India has a pool of personnel with high managerial and technical competence as skilled
workforce. It has the largest English speaking population in the world. Professional services
are easily available.
 Cost-effective Chemical Synthesis
Its track record of development, particularly in the area of improved cost beneficial
chemical synthesis for various drug molecules is excellent. It provides a wide variety of bulk
drugs and exports sophisticated bulk drugs.
 Information & Technology
It has a good network of world-class educational institutions and established strengths
in Information Technology.
 Globalization
The country is committed to a free market economy and globalization. It has a 70 million
middle class market, which is continuously growing
 Consolidation
The international pharmaceutical industry is finding great opportunities in India as the
process of consolidation has started taking place in India.
 Low priced products
The industry has thrived so far on reverse engineering skills exploiting the lack of
process patent in the country. This has resulted in the Indian pharmaceutical players offering
their products at some of the lowest prices in the world.
Page | 9
 Quality assurance
The quality of the products is reflected in the fact that India has the highest number of
manufacturing plants approved by US FDA (61 plants), which is next only to that in the US.
 Dominance in the market
Multinational companies have traditionally dominated the industry, which is another
trend seeing a reversal. Currently, it is the Indian companies which are dominating the
marketplace with the local players dominating a number of key therapeutic segments.
 Self-reliance
Displayed by the production of 70 per cent of bulk drugs and almost the entire
requirement of formulations within the country.
 Labor force
With one of the largest and most genetically diverse populations in any single country, India
can recruit for clinical trials more quickly and perform them more cheaply than countries in the
West.
 Other Strengths
Low cost of production, Low R&D costs, Innovative Scientific manpower and Increasing
balance of trade in Pharma sector are also significant strengths of the Indian pharmaceutical
industry.
2.8 Challenges Of Indian Pharmaceutical Industry
 Underdeveloped new molecule discovery program
The main weakness of the industry is an underdeveloped new molecule discovery
program. Even after the increased investment, market leaders such as Ranbaxy and Dr.Reddy’s
Laboratories spent only 5-10 per cent of their revenues on R&D, lagging behind Western
pharmaceuticals like Pfizer, whose research budget last year was greater than the combined
revenues of the entire Indian pharmaceutical industry. This disparity is too great to be
Page | 10
explained by cost diffentials, and it comes when advances in genomics have made research
equipment more expensive than ever.
 Hue & cry against exploitation
In clinical testing persons from developing countries will be used to generate data about
possible effects of a drug. A feeling of unrest among them or some section of society might
develop that we are being used as guinea pigs. It might lead to demonstrations or legislations
which will hamper the growth of industry.
 IP leakage
IP leakage is one of the major concerns by companies outsourcing research work to India.
So any major incident of IP leakage by Indian company can taint the image of whole industry.
 Restricted items
There are a lot of items that are restricted under the EXIM policy from free trading. These
restrictions are a weakness for the industry and hence pose to be a threat for its development.
 Safety concerns
With recent high profile product withdrawals, there are also concerns that regulatory agencies
will tighten up safety and efficacy testing requirements. A particular focus will be on the
application of pharmacogenomics techniques to improve safety profile, but the advent of such
techniques in the long run will improve industry productivity as more pharmacogenomics data
is collated.

COMPANY PROFILE
3.1 Introduction About The Company
Kerala State Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd., a Public Sector Undertaking, since its inception in
1974 has been manufacturing and supplying essential and lifesaving medicines to cater the need of the
common patients resorting to Hospitals in the State of Kerala. It is situated in Kalavoor, Alappuzha
district. The KSDP Ltd. was incorporated as a company on1971 under the companies act,1956 with
the main object of meeting the entire demands of drugs and formulation of the State Health Service
Department. KSDP Ltd. is a subsidiary of M/S Kerala State Industrial Enterprises Ltd ( KSIE
Ltd),Trivandrum.
The factory was inaugurated in 12th September, 1974 and started its commercial production,
manufacturing and supplying of essential and lifesaving drugs to health service department of the
government of Kerala from 1978 onwards. It was started as a “kitchen” to supplying medicines to
various government institutions coming under Government of Kerala. The complete shares of the
company are taken by the Government. The liability of the members is limited. The slogan of the
company is “quality that cures” and the company produces medicines that ‘cures’ rather than treats.
The Company has reached glorious heights in its way to thrive in this Hi-Tech era. The Product
Development wing of the Company has made all efforts to bring out scores of new products in
addition to the existing multiplicity of drug formulations to the tune of hundred odd products. The
development work of new generation drugs are in progress. Without any compromise in Quality,
KSDP LTD. is shielding itself from the globalization threats and venturing in to commercial trade
operations. Now the Company is a major supplier of Quality drugs to Kerala State Medical Service
Corporation (KMSCL), Thiruvananthapuram.
When multinational companies and other companies in the private sector were supplying
medicines at exorbitant prices and reaping high profits, the entity of Government Company in the
Page | 13
pharmaceuticals sector became absolutely necessary and hence the honorable minister for industries
Sri T.V Thomas decided to set up the plant in an industrially backward district alleppey.
The watch word of KSDP is “May all be free from diseases”. KSDP has two units
1. Formulation division
2. Vitamin division
Now formulation division is only working
1. Formulation division
The formulation division has different department such as Marketing, Production Purchase,
Store, Production Planning, Personnel, Finance, Maintenance and research & development. KSDP
started with this formulation division and as far as KSDP is concerned the formulation is very
important and now this division is only working. Mainly the company is producing different types of
tablets, capsules and powders.
2. Vitamin –a division
KSDP started producing vitamin A in the year of 1983 and seized in the year 2004.The company
stopped the production of Vitamin A due to heavy loss. The loss of the plant was due to high cost of
production and unavailability of raw materials like lemon grass oil.

FUNCTIONAL AREA
3.8.1 PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
Production department is considered to be the most important and largest
department in the organization. The authority of this department is within the hands of production
manager. The workers are working sincerely and best of their skills. There are permanent workers,
contract workers and trainees in this department. The production department is operating under the
directions of marketing and sales divisions, quality control departments, stores and inventory control.
The total quantity to manufacture and the denomination of packing is obtained by production planning
department and fed to the manufacturing wing .The quality department makes constant watch over the
blending standards, packing safety and product hygiene. The inventory control department and
packing section takes over the finished products in the predetermined areas. The production
department consists of different sections such as tablets, capsules, powders and liquid preparation.
Page | 23
3.8.1.1Production Of Tablets
Steps involved in the production of tablets are
1. Mixing
2. Drying
3. Powdering
4. Lubrication
5. Compression
6. Coating
(Fig:3.8.1.1)
1. MIXING
In mixing process, necessary ingredients as per the formula required for the formulation
of each tablets are mixed together to obtain a wet mass, using a mixer machine. There will be an active
ingredient for each tablet. The ingredients within the formula in addition to the active are called
excipients. Excipients are needed to make a good quality tablet at the required tablet press speed. They
help the flow, compressibility and the ability of the tablet to eject from the tablet press without falling
apart. Excipients also enhance the hardness, disintegration, appearance, color, taste, and the overall
performance of the tablet. It takes almost 20 minutes for mixing each batch.
The common additives or excipients are
 Binders
 Disintegrating agents
 Preservatives
 Colours

COATING
 Flavors
 Diluents
The binders are used to provide stickiness to the powder. Commonly used binders are starch paste,
gelatin, acacia paste. Disintegrating agents are added for the dissolution of tablet in the stomach.
Starch powder or paste is commonly used as disintegrating agent. Preservatives are for the shelf time.
It varies from 3 to 5 years. If necessary colours and flavors are added. For the small dosage of tablets
diluents are added to increase the bulkiness. Lactose, glucose and sugar are used as diluents here.
2. DRYING
The wet mass obtained after the mixing process should be dried using hot air. There are two types
of dryers like
 Fluid bed dryer
 Tray dryer.
In fluid bed dryer the wet mass is collected in a machine as bulk and steam is passed through it.
Steam is obtained by heating water using electricity. In the case of tray dryer the wet mass is collected
in different trays and is dried by placing these trays in a closed container. Hot air is passed through this
container to dry the wet mass. In the drying step the wet mass is dried to a predetermined end point,
commonly measured with a test called the “LOD” or loss on drying test.
3. POWDERING
The dried mix consists of lumps. This mix of lumps is powdered in order to
 To improve powder flow.
 To improve compressibility
 To reduce fines.
 To control the tendency of powders to segregate
 To control density
 To capture and fuse small quantities of active material
The dried mix consisting of lumps is powdered with the help of a powdering mill and its passed
through a sieve to get fine particles of uniform size. The resultant form is subjected to sieving to
extract fine powdered materials. Milling equipment is used to Improve flow, reduce segregation,
Page | 25
enhance drying, and limit wide particle size distribution. There are four standardized tests which are
commonly performed on either milled or finished granules:
 LOD- water content
 Bulk Density, mg/ml
 Particle Size Distribution
 Angle of Repose, flow gradient.
Two of the four tests, Loss on Drying (LOD) and Particle Size Distribution, are commonly
performed by operators on the production floor. In some cases, the operator only performs the LOD
and the other three tests are performed in the laboratory. The practice varies depending on the
situation.
MILL APPLICATION:
Generally we want to be as gentle with powders as possible. Some powders have high moisture
content and they may be subject to compaction within the mill; others are very hard and friable and are
subject to producing “fines”. Fines are powders that are very small and “dusty”, which will pass
through a 200 mesh screen. Fine dusty particles impede the flow, do not compress well and can
become air born. The air born dust can be witnessed on filters, walls, cabinets and machine
components. Besides affecting yields, the dust will combine with oil and grease on the tablet press
causing the punches to become tight, requiring more frequent cleaning cycles.
4. LUBRICATION
The fine granules which obtained after powdering is lubricated using lubricating agents like
talc, magnesium stearate, dried starch etc. Lubrication is carried out in a machine called Drum Mixer.
It is mainly done to avoid the sticking of the mixture in the machines.
5. COMPRESSION
Here the mixture is compressed in a compression machine to form tablets of desired shapes and
sizes. The powder is compressed with the help of punches and dyes which can be attached to the
compression machine. The size of the punches and dyes varies according to the size of the tablets. The
lower and upper punch is pressed to compress the tablets. After compression, the tablets will be
Page | 26
released by moving the punches apart. Here double rotary compression machine is used to make 54
tablets [27*2] in one rotation. In this step itself the tablets are turned into finished form with the
engravings punched on it. The main steps involved in compression are
 Filling the die: first step involved in compression is filling the die with the powdered
mixture. To adjust the weight of tablet, volume of filling the power in the die should be
adjusted. The tablet should be made available in different weights , say 250 grams, 500
grams etc. Based on this the die should be filled.
 Compress the tablet: With the help of upper punch and lower punch the powder is
compressed to form the tablet. When it is compressed all air inside the die and between
the powder is removed. As binders are added with the mixture the powdered mixture
stick to one another and thus tablets are formed in the shape of the dies used.
 Eject the tablet: The tablet is pushed from the die.
When setting up the tablet press; Adjust Tablet Weight, Adjust Thickness, Balance weight &
thickness and machine speed, to get proper Hardness.
6. COATING
Once a good tablet is made, we often need to add a coating. The coating can serve many
purposes; it makes the tablet stronger and tougher, improves taste, adds color, and makes the tablet
easy to handle and package. There are two types of coating
 Sugar coating
 Thin film coating
Sugar coating is used to avoid the bitterness of some tablets. Coating is sprayed as a solution
using a spray gun. Water based solution is used for coating. This presents a challenge in applying and
quickly removing this water based solution so it does not disrupt the integrity of the tablet. Tablet film
coating equipment has evolved to enhance drying capability. Essentially a tablet coating system is
much like fancy clothes dryer. The water based solution is sprayed in a very fine mist so as to dry
almost immediately as it reaches the tablets. As the water dries it leaves the solids as a thin film on
each tablet.
Page | 27
The coating system continuously supplies hot air, at the same time pulling air through small
holes in the coating drum. The drum is commonly referred to as the coating pan, with small holes
called perforations. This process can take as little a 30 minutes or it can take several hours. Tablets
must be tough enough to tumble while the solution is added. The solution is distributed from tablet to
tablet during the tumbling and drying process. The spraying, distribution and drying all takes place at
the same time.
Coating system consists of the coating pan, spraying system, air handling unit, dust collector
and controls.
 The coating pan is really a drum within a cabinet, allowing for control of air flow, air
temperature and controlled solution application.
 The spraying system consists of spraying guns, a solution pump, tank & mixer and air lines.
The solution is pumped into the guns and the air combines with the solution for atomization
into a very fine mist.
 The air handling unit (AHU) is basically a way of heating and filtering the air.
Dehumidification and/or humidification maybe needed depending on your location and
application requirements.
 The Dust Collector collects the dust during the pre heat and tumbling cycles and the Controls
connect all of the components creating a complete coating system.
(fig:3.8.1.2)
Page | 28
Tablets are loaded into the coating pan, creating a bed of tablets. There must be enough tablets
to attain good mixing, but not too many or the tablets will spill when the door is opened. Consistent
batch sizes are important to attain consistent results. The tablet bed is tumbled slowly, as the warm air
is introduced; the dust collector pulls the dust off the tablets and into a collection bin. When the tablet
bed temperature reaches the proper temperature the spraying can begin. Once tablets have an initial
base coating the spray rate can be increased. Tablet defects can occur if the temperature, spray rate
and air volume are allowed to fluctuate.
3.8.1.3 Production of capsules
Formation of capsules involves various steps like
1. Mixing
2. Drying
3. Powdering
4. Lubricating
5. Encapsulation
( Fig:3.8.1.3)
The steps mixing, drying, powdering and lubricating are same as that in followed in the production of
tablets. The step encapsulation is explained below.
ENCAPSULATION
n this step, the lubricated powdered is filled in empty hard gelatin capsule. Commonly referred
to as capsule filler, the encapsulation machine has the ability to fill Powders into a two piece (cap and
body) capsule. The capsule filler must first position all of the incoming capsules into an upright
position (rectification), separate the cap from the body (top from bottom), attain the proper fill volume
(capsule weight), and then the product filled body is rejoined with the cap and ejected from the
machine. Automatic machines have speeds up to 90,000 per hour.

Gelatin capsules that are old and improperly stored can dry out and become brittle; they have a
rather high defect rate when compared, say, to finished tablets. Even with all the quality check points
many capsules are unusable by the time they reach the production floor. Common Capsule defects
include: Dented, cracked, split, over size caps, and empty capsules after the filling cycle.
CAPSULE CARE: Gelatin capsules that are old and improperly stored can dry out and become
brittle; they have a rather high defect rate when compared, say, to finished tablets. Even with all the
quality check points many capsules are unusable by the time they reach the production floor. The
gelatin capsule caps have to be stored in cold place nearly at a temperature of 21 degree Celsius.
Common Capsule defects include: Dented, cracked, split, over size caps, and empty capsules after the
filling cycle.

3.8.1.5 PACKING DIVISION
In KSDP centralized packing is done. Here packing is done for tablets, capsules , liquids and powders
after the quality check of the medicine. For packing various high grade machines are used which result
in the safe and hygienic packing. Various types of packing adopted by the company are blister
packing, loose packing strip and container packing.
Page | 31
SUPERVISORS
Once the production of one batch is finished in its respective section, then they will give
intimation to packing section. The labels on the packs are printed by both hand printing and machine
printing. Once the packing is completed it will be transferred to stock. It will be accounted to stock
register only after getting approval from the quality control department. Different colours of packing
are used for different products to identify the products.
3.8.1.6 BLISTER PACKING
KSDP chose blister packaging because it seemed to be the most appropriate way to package
the pill for effective administration. Thus the most important reason for introducing blister packaging
technology was to offer patients a clearly marked individual dose, enabling them to check whether
they had taken the prescribed drugs on a given day. Moreover, the drugs that were not taken remained
in the original package and were fully protected against adverse external conditions. The patient could
handle the blister package more easily and could store it more conveniently than conventional
packages. Other advantages of blister packaging such as the prevention of broken glass bottles and
reduced costs and higher packaging speeds relative to other packaging materials. Another important
benefit became apparent later: It is easier to prove misuse with blister packaging than with
conventional packaging.
Five aspects in which blister packaging is better than conventional packaging.
• product integrity
• product protection
• tamper evidence
• reduced possibility of accidental misuse
• patient compliance.
Two basic types of pharmaceutical blister packages exist.
1. In first variety the cavity is constructed of clear, thermoformed plastic, and the lid is
formed of clear plastic or a combination of plastic, paper, and/or foil.
2. The other type of package contains foil as an essential component of both webs, and its
cavity is created by cold stretching.
In KSDP the first type of blister packing is followed.
THE BASIC CONFIGURATION OF BLISTER PACKAGING.
Page | 32
(Fig:3.8.1.6)
3.8.1.7 BLISTER PACKAGING MACHINERY
Thermoform–fill–seal machines can operate at speeds <800 packages/min. Blister
packaging machines typically operate with intermittent motion. The seal is made during
the dwell time required for thermoforming. The essential parts band functions of an intermittently
operating packaging machine include the following.
 The unwinding station. The unwinding station supplies the forming films and the lidding
material at a rate corresponding to the speed of the packaging machine
 The heating station. The heating station raises the temperature of the plastic forming films to
a level suitable for deep drawing. Forming films containing the Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
support material are heated to 120–140 8C. Polypropylene (PP) forming films are heated to
140–150 8C.
 The forming station. The forming station forms the plastic blister cavities via compressed air
or die plates
 The cooling station. The cooling station cools PP films after the forming process. Laminates
containing PVC do not need to be cooled.
Page | 33
Product
Lid
Blister pack
 The feeding machine. The loading area fills the blister cavities with product. The feeding
machine can be linked, or the product to be packaged can simply be swept into the blisters.
 The sealing station. The sealing station heat seals the lidding material to the forming film that
contains the product All heat-sealing methods mate the blister and lid under constant pressure
for a specified time, during which heat is supplied. The mating surfaces fuse and bond, setting
almost instantaneously when heat input stops.
 The cooling station. The cooling station is necessary with all forming films. PP forming films
must be cooled longer than other types of film.
 Labeling through packaging. Packages are labeled, notched, and then marked with a batch
number at the coding station. The perforating device makes a cross-shaped perforation along
the sealing seams. At the punching station, the packages are then separated into sheets that
typically contain from 10 to 20 individual blisters. The vision system checks the filled
packages for defects.

The main aim of this department is to supply the products of the company to common man at
economic rates. The two ways of marketing are
1. Government sale
2. Open market sale
Government Sales
The company enjoys preference in the purchase from the government of Kerala. The company
supplies medicines to institutions coming under health and family welfare, community health centers
of government of Kerala like primary health center, medical college hospitals, taluk and district
hospitals. 60% of demand of health department of Kerala is satisfied by KSDP.
KMSCL (Kerala medical service corporation)is authorized to collect and distribute medicines
to all the government institutions under health department. The Major Institutions under health
department are
1. Institution under director of health service (DHS)
2. Institution under director of medical education (DME)
Institutions coming under DHS are government institutions like Panchayat, consumer fed, hospital
under local bodies, cooperative hospitals , district hospitals, taluk hospitals, primary health centers etc.
Under the DME come all the government medical colleges of Kerala.
Open Market Sales
KSDP started open market sales in 1978 initially in Kerala and later on expanded to other
states like Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh by employing medical representatives in each state and
appointing medical officers. At that time there was a separate medical division located in cochin in
Kerala, Chennai in Tamilnadu, Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh and Great kailash in Delhi. 23 products
were marketed in various dosage forms. It gradually ceased in 1998 since KSDP does not have the
sufficient infrastructure for the prescription drug market.
Open market sales involves
1. Institutional sale
2. Prescription sale
In institutional sales, list of products, rate of each product, details about the quality of products
and a covering letter is send to various medical institutions. If they are satisfied with the rate and
Page | 36
quality of the product, they give purchase order to the company and the product is distributed. The
company now is not going for prescribed sales.
The price of product is determined by the price fixing committee which consists of top officials
of the company. The rate of the medicines in the open market sales will be 5 to 30 % increased rate
than for the government sales. The company is not permitted to sell the medicines at same price to
open market and government.
Branding
During 1984,the company had branded products such as supremol tab for co-trimoxazole,
Brodilan tab for saltbutamol 2mg +Theophylline 100 mg,kaymox250& 500 mg for Amoxicillin
trihydrate,Maxillin 250 mg & 500 mg for Ampicillin trihydrate,Symix 100ml for cough syrup.
At present,the company distributes its medicine under trade name as there is only less open
market sales in function. Eg:Paracentamol
Advertisements And Promotion
As the company is not concentrating in open market sales, there is no advertisement and
promotional efforts.

done through two distinct quality check
1. Incoming quality check
2. Outgoing quality check
Incoming quality check is to check the quality of raw materials that is required for the production and
packing .Outgoing quality check is to evaluate the quality of finished products.
INCOMING QUALITY CHECK
Once the goods arrived in the store, they will inform the QC through
EIAIRN FORM. Then the QC department will take the samples for quality check based on the formula
n+1.The testing process will be done on different procedures required for the INDIAN

finished products according to the official books. If the test is ok, then pass card will be given to the
concerned unit, packing and planning. If the finished product does not stand to the appropriate
standards then the QC will ask for reprocess. Some tablets, capsules and liquids will take 1-2 days of
Page | 56
testing time where the injection will take 7 days of testing time. All tablets and capsules will have to
be tested for friability, disintegration, identification, dissolution, assay, etc.
Every detail of each batch will be recorded in the quality control register. All the tests are
recorded in fair records with the sign of concerned person who has done the testing. Then a protocol
report is prepared to marketing section, which is signed by the manager and deputy manager of QC.
The raw materials will be kept in polythene bags till the expiry date, as a control sample. A code
number is given to the each sample, which will describe the year, month and batch of production.
Raw materials and packing also have these numbers.
All details of the materials are included in ‘goods information advice come goods receiving

material pass the test an 8 digit no is used for the passed material.
Main two tests conducted after the tablets are
1. Friability test
This test is done to check the brittleness of the tablets produced.From the produced lots,
few number of tablets are taken and are weighed together. Then they are put in a
machine and rotated for about 3 minutes. It is quite obvious that during rotation , the
tablets will undergo wear and tear and some of them may also break. After rotation also
the weight is noted. And if the difference in weight exceeds a specific limit , then that
particular lot is rejected.
2. Solubility test
This test is done to check the solubility of the tablet .as the tablet has to ultimately
dissolve in the stomach , it is very important to check its solubility in the stomach’s
temperature. Therefore , the tablet is put inside an apparatus with water which has
temperature in parity with the stomach’s temperature. And the tablet is moved up and
down with moderate speed in the apparatus. In this situation, the tablet can dissolve or
not dissolve .if it dissolves, then the lot is accepted.

  • 2. 1.1 INTRODUCTION The term ‘organization’ has been defined by many experts of management in different ways, and while defining the term they have put emphasis on its different aspects. This has created a lot of confusion. Generally, organization refers to a group or an association or an institution of individuals working together for achieving predetermined common goals. So an organization is inevitable in those situations where two or more individuals work together to achieve a common objective. It may also defined as a planned unit formed by individuals for pursuing specific goals. The organization may further be viewed as a collective entity of individuals putting in joint effort to seek their common interests. Organizational study is "the examination of how individuals construct organizational structures, processes, and practices and how these, in turn, shape social relations and create institutions that ultimately influence people", organizational studies comprise different areas that deal with the different aspects of the organizations, many of the approaches are functionalist but critical research also provide alternative frame for understanding in the field. Organization is the backbone of management. Without efficient organization, no management can perform its functions smoothly. Sound Organization contributes greatly to the continuity and success of the enterprise. The organizational study undergone during the month of May was for partial fulfillment of the award of degree of Master of Business Administration of Mahatma Gandhi University. It helps to know more about the functions, structure, policies and different procedures undertaken in an organization. The study abridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical working condition. The organizational study was conducted at KERALA STATE DRUGS AND PHARMACEUTICALS Ltd which is the only pharmaceutical undertaking of government of Kerala. The study helped me to know the various functions in the organization. Every organization can be conceived as consisting of various subsystem or parts. Effective functioning of each of these parts is essential for effective functioning of the organization. In addition, the coordinated functioning of these subsystems also contributes to organizational effectiveness. For making organizational diagnosis the, strength weakness and potential Page | 2

Thus an analysis is made through studies in which the theoretical aspect is compared with the actual situation. The scopes of the study are:- • This study aims to acquire an overall knowledge about all the Departments and procedures being carried out in the organization. • To have an exposure in working environment of an organization. • This study help to understand the decision making process in an organization and also to know the organization system. 1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The organizational study is to familiarize with a business organization and the operation of its departments and also interact with the managers at various levels of the organization hierarchy to acquire awareness about the practical side of the theories. Also the scope of the study covers examination of the structure of the organization, seeking information about the products produced and study on the functions of various departments of the firm.  To carry out a departmental study or analysis at Kerala Drugs and Pharmaceuticals LTD.  To familiarize with the organizational function.  To understand and get familiar with all the activities in the company  To understand process flow and management of departments in the company  To get acquainted with the policies, procedure, strategies, and programs adopted by the company.  To know the inter related department functions of an organization  To familiarize with the organizational structure and various departments.

  • 5. INDUSTRY PROFILE 2.1 Background The Pharmaceutical Industry today is in the front rank of India’s science-based industries with wide ranging capabilities in the complex field of drug manufacture and technology. It ranks very high in the third world, in terms of technology, quality and range of medicines manufactured. From simple headache pills to sophisticated antibiotics and complex cardiac compounds, almost every type of medicine is now made indigenously. The Indian pharmaceutical sector has come a long way, being almost non-existent before 1970 to a prominent provider of healthcare products, meeting almost 95 per cent of the country's pharmaceuticals needs. The Industry today is in the front rank of India’s science-based industries with wide ranging capabilities in the complex field of drug manufacture and technology. It ranks very high in the third world, in terms of technology, quality and range of medicines manufactured. From simple headache pills to sophisticated antibiotics and complex cardiac compounds, almost every type of medicine is now made indigenously. The Indian Pharmaceutical sector is highly fragmented with more than 20,000 registered units with severe price competition and government price control. It has expanded drastically in the last two decades. There are about 250 large units that control 70 per cent of the market with market leader holding nearly 7 per cent of the market share and about 8000 Small Scale Units together which form the core of the pharmaceutical industry in India (including 5 Central Public Sector Units). These units produce the complete range of pharmaceutical formulations, i.e., medicines ready for consumption by patients and about 350 bulk drugs, i.e., chemicals having therapeutic value and used for production of pharmaceutical formulations. Page | 5
  • 6. 2.2 Growth Scenario India's pharmaceutical industry is now the third largest in the world in terms of volume. Its rank is 14th in terms of value. Between September 2008 and September 2009, the total turnover of India's pharmaceuticals industry was US$ 21.04 billion. The domestic market was worth US$ 12.26 billion. This was reported by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers. As per a report by IMS Health India, the Indian pharmaceutical market reached US$ 10.04 billion in size in July 2010. A highly organized sector, the Indian Pharma Industry is estimated to be worth $ 4.5 billion, growing at about 8 to 9 percent annually 2.3 Domestic Demand The industry has enormous growth potential. Factors listed below determine the rising demand for pharmaceuticals. • The growing population of over of a billion • Increasing income • Demand for quality healthcare service • Changing lifestyle has led to change in disease patterns, and increased demand for new medicines to combat lifestyle related diseases More than 85 per cent of the formulations produced in the country are sold in the domestic market. India is largely self-sufficient in case of formulations. Some lifesaving, new generation under- patent formulations continue to be imported, especially by MNCs, which then market them in India. Overall, the size of the domestic formulations market is around Rs160 billion and it is growing at 9 per cent per annum. 2.4 Future Prospects The Indian pharmaceuticals market is expected to reach US$ 55 billion in 2020 from US$ 12.6 billion in 2009. This was stated in a report title "India Pharma 2020: Propelling access and acceptance, realizing true potential" by McKinsey & Company. In the same report, it was also mentioned that in an aggressive growth scenario, the pharmaceuticals market has the further potential to reach US$ 70 Page | 6
  • 7. billion by 2020 Due to increase in the population of high income group, there is every likelihood that they will open a potential US$ 8 billion market for multinational companies selling costly drugs by 2015. This was estimated in a report by Ernst & Young. The domestic Pharma market is estimated to touch US$ 20 billion by 2015. The healthcare market in India to reach US$ 31.59 billion by 2020. The sale of all types of pharmaceutical drugs and medicines in the country stands at US$ 9.61 billion, which is expected to reach around US$ 19.22 billion by 2012. Thus India would really become a lucrative destination for clinical trials for global giants. 2.5 Market Share Of Different Pharmaceutical Product Categories Category Market share (%) Value growth (%) Volume growth (%) Anti – infective 17 4 11 Gastrointestinal 11 8 9 Cardiac 10 18 15 Respiratory 10 9 6 Vitamins/minerals 10 5 5 Pain/analgesic 10 8 9 Dermatological 5 8 4 Gynaecology 5 3 -1 Neuro psychiatry 5 10 6 Antidiabetics 4 11 16 Opthologicals 2 18 16 Others 11 - - (Table:2.5) 2.6 Major Players In The Pharmaceuticals Industry Page | 7

  • 9. 2.7 Strengths Of Indian Pharmaceutical Industries  Competent workforce India has a pool of personnel with high managerial and technical competence as skilled workforce. It has the largest English speaking population in the world. Professional services are easily available.  Cost-effective Chemical Synthesis Its track record of development, particularly in the area of improved cost beneficial chemical synthesis for various drug molecules is excellent. It provides a wide variety of bulk drugs and exports sophisticated bulk drugs.  Information & Technology It has a good network of world-class educational institutions and established strengths in Information Technology.  Globalization The country is committed to a free market economy and globalization. It has a 70 million middle class market, which is continuously growing  Consolidation The international pharmaceutical industry is finding great opportunities in India as the process of consolidation has started taking place in India.  Low priced products The industry has thrived so far on reverse engineering skills exploiting the lack of process patent in the country. This has resulted in the Indian pharmaceutical players offering their products at some of the lowest prices in the world. Page | 9
  • 10.  Quality assurance The quality of the products is reflected in the fact that India has the highest number of manufacturing plants approved by US FDA (61 plants), which is next only to that in the US.  Dominance in the market Multinational companies have traditionally dominated the industry, which is another trend seeing a reversal. Currently, it is the Indian companies which are dominating the marketplace with the local players dominating a number of key therapeutic segments.  Self-reliance Displayed by the production of 70 per cent of bulk drugs and almost the entire requirement of formulations within the country.  Labor force With one of the largest and most genetically diverse populations in any single country, India can recruit for clinical trials more quickly and perform them more cheaply than countries in the West.  Other Strengths Low cost of production, Low R&D costs, Innovative Scientific manpower and Increasing balance of trade in Pharma sector are also significant strengths of the Indian pharmaceutical industry. 2.8 Challenges Of Indian Pharmaceutical Industry  Underdeveloped new molecule discovery program The main weakness of the industry is an underdeveloped new molecule discovery program. Even after the increased investment, market leaders such as Ranbaxy and Dr.Reddy’s Laboratories spent only 5-10 per cent of their revenues on R&D, lagging behind Western pharmaceuticals like Pfizer, whose research budget last year was greater than the combined revenues of the entire Indian pharmaceutical industry. This disparity is too great to be Page | 10
  • 11. explained by cost diffentials, and it comes when advances in genomics have made research equipment more expensive than ever.  Hue & cry against exploitation In clinical testing persons from developing countries will be used to generate data about possible effects of a drug. A feeling of unrest among them or some section of society might develop that we are being used as guinea pigs. It might lead to demonstrations or legislations which will hamper the growth of industry.  IP leakage IP leakage is one of the major concerns by companies outsourcing research work to India. So any major incident of IP leakage by Indian company can taint the image of whole industry.  Restricted items There are a lot of items that are restricted under the EXIM policy from free trading. These restrictions are a weakness for the industry and hence pose to be a threat for its development.  Safety concerns With recent high profile product withdrawals, there are also concerns that regulatory agencies will tighten up safety and efficacy testing requirements. A particular focus will be on the application of pharmacogenomics techniques to improve safety profile, but the advent of such techniques in the long run will improve industry productivity as more pharmacogenomics data is collated.

  • 13. COMPANY PROFILE 3.1 Introduction About The Company Kerala State Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd., a Public Sector Undertaking, since its inception in 1974 has been manufacturing and supplying essential and lifesaving medicines to cater the need of the common patients resorting to Hospitals in the State of Kerala. It is situated in Kalavoor, Alappuzha district.

The factory was inaugurated in 12th September, 1974 and started its commercial production, manufacturing and supplying of essential and lifesaving drugs to health service department of the government of Kerala from 1978 onwards. It was started as a “kitchen” to supplying medicines to various government institutions coming under Government of Kerala. The complete shares of the company are taken by the Government. The liability of the members is limited. The slogan of the company is “quality that cures” and the company produces medicines that ‘cures’ rather than treats. The Company has reached glorious heights in its way to thrive in this Hi-Tech era. The Product Development wing of the Company has made all efforts to bring out scores of new products in addition to the existing multiplicity of drug formulations to the tune of hundred odd products. The development work of new generation drugs are in progress. Without any compromise in Quality, KSDP LTD. is shielding itself from the globalization threats and venturing in to commercial trade operations. Now the Company is a major supplier of Quality drugs to Kerala State Medical Service Corporation (KMSCL), Thiruvananthapuram.

The watch word of KSDP is “May all be free from diseases”. KSDP has two units 1. Formulation division 2. Vitamin division Now formulation division is only working 1. Formulation division The formulation division has different department such as Marketing, Production Purchase, Store, Production Planning, Personnel, Finance, Maintenance and research & development. KSDP started with this formulation division and as far as KSDP is concerned the formulation is very important and now this division is only working. Mainly the company is producing different types of tablets, capsules and powders. 2. Vitamin –a division KSDP started producing vitamin A in the year of 1983 and seized in the year 2004.The company stopped the production of Vitamin A due to heavy loss. The loss of the plant was due to high cost of production and unavailability of raw materials like lemon grass oil. 3.2 Slogan and logo of KSDP “Quality that cures” Page | 14

The authority of this department is within the hands of production manager. The workers are working sincerely and best of their skills. There are permanent workers, contract workers and trainees in this department. The production department is operating under the directions of marketing and sales divisions, quality control departments, stores and inventory control. The total quantity to manufacture and the denomination of packing is obtained by production planning department and fed to the manufacturing wing .The quality department makes constant watch over the blending standards, packing safety and product hygiene. The inventory control department and packing section takes over the finished products in the predetermined areas. The production department consists of different sections such as tablets, capsules, powders and liquid preparation. Page | 23
  • 24. 3.8.1.1Production Of Tablets Steps involved in the production of tablets are 1. Mixing 2. Drying 3. Powdering 4. Lubrication 5. Compression 6. Coating (Fig:3.8.1.1) 1. MIXING In mixing process, necessary ingredients as per the formula required for the formulation of each tablets are mixed together to obtain a wet mass, using a mixer machine. There will be an active ingredient for each tablet. The ingredients within the formula in addition to the active are called excipients. Excipients are needed to make a good quality tablet at the required tablet press speed. They help the flow, compressibility and the ability of the tablet to eject from the tablet press without falling apart. Excipients also enhance the hardness, disintegration, appearance, color, taste, and the overall performance of the tablet. It takes almost 20 minutes for mixing each batch. The common additives or excipients are  Binders  Disintegrating agents  Preservatives  Colours Page | 24 MIXING DRYING POWDERIN G LUBRICATIO N COMPRESSIO N COATING
  • 25.  Flavors  Diluents The binders are used to provide stickiness to the powder. Commonly used binders are starch paste, gelatin, acacia paste. Disintegrating agents are added for the dissolution of tablet in the stomach. Starch powder or paste is commonly used as disintegrating agent. Preservatives are for the shelf time. It varies from 3 to 5 years. If necessary colours and flavors are added. For the small dosage of tablets diluents are added to increase the bulkiness. Lactose, glucose and sugar are used as diluents here. 2. DRYING The wet mass obtained after the mixing process should be dried using hot air. There are two types of dryers like  Fluid bed dryer  Tray dryer. In fluid bed dryer the wet mass is collected in a machine as bulk and steam is passed through it. Steam is obtained by heating water using electricity. In the case of tray dryer the wet mass is collected in different trays and is dried by placing these trays in a closed container. Hot air is passed through this container to dry the wet mass. In the drying step the wet mass is dried to a predetermined end point, commonly measured with a test called the “LOD” or loss on drying test. 3. POWDERING The dried mix consists of lumps. This mix of lumps is powdered in order to  To improve powder flow.  To improve compressibility  To reduce fines.  To control the tendency of powders to segregate  To control density  To capture and fuse small quantities of active material The dried mix consisting of lumps is powdered with the help of a powdering mill and its passed through a sieve to get fine particles of uniform size. The resultant form is subjected to sieving to extract fine powdered materials. Milling equipment is used to Improve flow, reduce segregation, Page | 25
  • 26. enhance drying, and limit wide particle size distribution. There are four standardized tests which are commonly performed on either milled or finished granules:  LOD- water content  Bulk Density, mg/ml  Particle Size Distribution  Angle of Repose, flow gradient. Two of the four tests, Loss on Drying (LOD) and Particle Size Distribution, are commonly performed by operators on the production floor. In some cases, the operator only performs the LOD and the other three tests are performed in the laboratory. The practice varies depending on the situation. MILL APPLICATION: Generally we want to be as gentle with powders as possible. Some powders have high moisture content and they may be subject to compaction within the mill; others are very hard and friable and are subject to producing “fines”. Fines are powders that are very small and “dusty”, which will pass through a 200 mesh screen. Fine dusty particles impede the flow, do not compress well and can become air born. The air born dust can be witnessed on filters, walls, cabinets and machine components. Besides affecting yields, the dust will combine with oil and grease on the tablet press causing the punches to become tight, requiring more frequent cleaning cycles. 4. LUBRICATION The fine granules which obtained after powdering is lubricated using lubricating agents like talc, magnesium stearate, dried starch etc. Lubrication is carried out in a machine called Drum Mixer. It is mainly done to avoid the sticking of the mixture in the machines. 5. COMPRESSION Here the mixture is compressed in a compression machine to form tablets of desired shapes and sizes. The powder is compressed with the help of punches and dyes which can be attached to the compression machine. The size of the punches and dyes varies according to the size of the tablets. The lower and upper punch is pressed to compress the tablets. After compression, the tablets will be Page | 26
  • 27. released by moving the punches apart. Here double rotary compression machine is used to make 54 tablets [27*2] in one rotation. In this step itself the tablets are turned into finished form with the engravings punched on it. The main steps involved in compression are  Filling the die: first step involved in compression is filling the die with the powdered mixture. To adjust the weight of tablet, volume of filling the power in the die should be adjusted. The tablet should be made available in different weights , say 250 grams, 500 grams etc. Based on this the die should be filled.  Compress the tablet: With the help of upper punch and lower punch the powder is compressed to form the tablet. When it is compressed all air inside the die and between the powder is removed. As binders are added with the mixture the powdered mixture stick to one another and thus tablets are formed in the shape of the dies used.  Eject the tablet: The tablet is pushed from the die. When setting up the tablet press; Adjust Tablet Weight, Adjust Thickness, Balance weight & thickness and machine speed, to get proper Hardness. 6. COATING Once a good tablet is made, we often need to add a coating. The coating can serve many purposes; it makes the tablet stronger and tougher, improves taste, adds color, and makes the tablet easy to handle and package. There are two types of coating  Sugar coating  Thin film coating Sugar coating is used to avoid the bitterness of some tablets. Coating is sprayed as a solution using a spray gun. Water based solution is used for coating. This presents a challenge in applying and quickly removing this water based solution so it does not disrupt the integrity of the tablet. Tablet film coating equipment has evolved to enhance drying capability. Essentially a tablet coating system is much like fancy clothes dryer. The water based solution is sprayed in a very fine mist so as to dry almost immediately as it reaches the tablets. As the water dries it leaves the solids as a thin film on each tablet. Page | 27
  • 28. The coating system continuously supplies hot air, at the same time pulling air through small holes in the coating drum. The drum is commonly referred to as the coating pan, with small holes called perforations. This process can take as little a 30 minutes or it can take several hours. Tablets must be tough enough to tumble while the solution is added. The solution is distributed from tablet to tablet during the tumbling and drying process. The spraying, distribution and drying all takes place at the same time. Coating system consists of the coating pan, spraying system, air handling unit, dust collector and controls.  The coating pan is really a drum within a cabinet, allowing for control of air flow, air temperature and controlled solution application.  The spraying system consists of spraying guns, a solution pump, tank & mixer and air lines. The solution is pumped into the guns and the air combines with the solution for atomization into a very fine mist.  The air handling unit (AHU) is basically a way of heating and filtering the air. Dehumidification and/or humidification maybe needed depending on your location and application requirements.  The Dust Collector collects the dust during the pre heat and tumbling cycles and the Controls connect all of the components creating a complete coating system. (fig:3.8.1.2) Page | 28
  • 29. Tablets are loaded into the coating pan, creating a bed of tablets. There must be enough tablets to attain good mixing, but not too many or the tablets will spill when the door is opened. Consistent batch sizes are important to attain consistent results. The tablet bed is tumbled slowly, as the warm air is introduced; the dust collector pulls the dust off the tablets and into a collection bin. When the tablet bed temperature reaches the proper temperature the spraying can begin. Once tablets have an initial base coating the spray rate can be increased. Tablet defects can occur if the temperature, spray rate and air volume are allowed to fluctuate. 3.8.1.3 Production of capsules Formation of capsules involves various steps like 1. Mixing 2. Drying 3. Powdering 4. Lubricating 5. Encapsulation ( Fig:3.8.1.3) The steps mixing, drying, powdering and lubricating are same as that in followed in the production of tablets. The step encapsulation is explained below. ENCAPSULATION n this step, the lubricated powdered is filled in empty hard gelatin capsule. Commonly referred to as capsule filler, the encapsulation machine has the ability to fill Powders into a two piece (cap and body) capsule. The capsule filler must first position all of the incoming capsules into an upright position (rectification), separate the cap from the body (top from bottom), attain the proper fill volume (capsule weight), and then the product filled body is rejoined with the cap and ejected from the machine. Automatic machines have speeds up to 90,000 per hour. Page | 29 MIXING DRYING POWDERING LUBRICATINGENCAPSULATIO N
  • 30. Gelatin capsules that are old and improperly stored can dry out and become brittle; they have a rather high defect rate when compared, say, to finished tablets. Even with all the quality check points many capsules are unusable by the time they reach the production floor. Common Capsule defects include: Dented, cracked, split, over size caps, and empty capsules after the filling cycle. CAPSULE CARE: Gelatin capsules that are old and improperly stored can dry out and become brittle; they have a rather high defect rate when compared, say, to finished tablets. Even with all the quality check points many capsules are unusable by the time they reach the production floor. The gelatin capsule caps have to be stored in cold place nearly at a temperature of 21 degree Celsius. Common Capsule defects include: Dented, cracked, split, over size caps, and empty capsules after the filling cycle. 3.8.1.4 PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT CHART PRODUCTION MANAGER Page | 30

Here packing is done for tablets, capsules , liquids and powders after the quality check of the medicine. For packing various high grade machines are used which result in the safe and hygienic packing. Various types of packing adopted by the company are blister packing, loose packing strip and container packing. Page | 31 SUPERVISORS
  • 32. Once the production of one batch is finished in its respective section, then they will give intimation to packing section. The labels on the packs are printed by both hand printing and machine printing. Once the packing is completed it will be transferred to stock. It will be accounted to stock register only after getting approval from the quality control department. Different colours of packing are used for different products to identify the products. 3.8.1.6 BLISTER PACKING KSDP chose blister packaging because it seemed to be the most appropriate way to package the pill for effective administration. Thus the most important reason for introducing blister packaging technology was to offer patients a clearly marked individual dose, enabling them to check whether they had taken the prescribed drugs on a given day. Moreover, the drugs that were not taken remained in the original package and were fully protected against adverse external conditions. The patient could handle the blister package more easily and could store it more conveniently than conventional packages. Other advantages of blister packaging such as the prevention of broken glass bottles and reduced costs and higher packaging speeds relative to other packaging materials. Another important benefit became apparent later: It is easier to prove misuse with blister packaging than with conventional packaging. Five aspects in which blister packaging is better than conventional packaging. • product integrity • product protection • tamper evidence • reduced possibility of accidental misuse • patient compliance. Two basic types of pharmaceutical blister packages exist. 1. In first variety the cavity is constructed of clear, thermoformed plastic, and the lid is formed of clear plastic or a combination of plastic, paper, and/or foil. 2. The other type of package contains foil as an essential component of both webs, and its cavity is created by cold stretching. In KSDP the first type of blister packing is followed. THE BASIC CONFIGURATION OF BLISTER PACKAGING. Page | 32
  • 33. (Fig:3.8.1.6) 3.8.1.7 BLISTER PACKAGING MACHINERY Thermoform–fill–seal machines can operate at speeds <800 packages/min. Blister packaging machines typically operate with intermittent motion. The seal is made during the dwell time required for thermoforming. The essential parts band functions of an intermittently operating packaging machine include the following.  The unwinding station. The unwinding station supplies the forming films and the lidding material at a rate corresponding to the speed of the packaging machine  The heating station. The heating station raises the temperature of the plastic forming films to a level suitable for deep drawing. Forming films containing the Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) support material are heated to 120–140 8C. Polypropylene (PP) forming films are heated to 140–150 8C.  The forming station. The forming station forms the plastic blister cavities via compressed air or die plates  The cooling station. The cooling station cools PP films after the forming process. Laminates containing PVC do not need to be cooled. Page | 33 Product Lid Blister pack
  • 34.  The feeding machine. The loading area fills the blister cavities with product. The feeding machine can be linked, or the product to be packaged can simply be swept into the blisters.  The sealing station. The sealing station heat seals the lidding material to the forming film that contains the product All heat-sealing methods mate the blister and lid under constant pressure for a specified time, during which heat is supplied. The mating surfaces fuse and bond, setting almost instantaneously when heat input stops.  The cooling station. The cooling station is necessary with all forming films. PP forming films must be cooled longer than other types of film.  Labeling through packaging. Packages are labeled, notched, and then marked with a batch number at the coding station. The perforating device makes a cross-shaped perforation along the sealing seams. At the punching station, the packages are then separated into sheets that typically contain from 10 to 20 individual blisters. The vision system checks the filled packages for defects. 3.8.1.8 PACKING DEPARTMENT CHART Page | 34

  • 36. The main aim of this department is to supply the products of the company to common man at economic rates. The two ways of marketing are 1. Government sale 2. Open market sale Government Sales The company enjoys preference in the purchase from the government of Kerala. The company supplies medicines to institutions coming under health and family welfare, community health centers of government of Kerala like primary health center, medical college hospitals, taluk and district hospitals. 60% of demand of health department of Kerala is satisfied by KSDP. KMSCL (Kerala medical service corporation)is authorized to collect and distribute medicines to all the government institutions under health department. The Major Institutions under health department are 1. Institution under director of health service (DHS) 2. Institution under director of medical education (DME) Institutions coming under DHS are government institutions like Panchayat, consumer fed, hospital under local bodies, cooperative hospitals , district hospitals, taluk hospitals, primary health centers etc. Under the DME come all the government medical colleges of Kerala. Open Market Sales KSDP started open market sales in 1978 initially in Kerala and later on expanded to other states like Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh by employing medical representatives in each state and appointing medical officers. At that time there was a separate medical division located in cochin in Kerala, Chennai in Tamilnadu, Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh and Great kailash in Delhi. 23 products were marketed in various dosage forms. It gradually ceased in 1998 since KSDP does not have the sufficient infrastructure for the prescription drug market. Open market sales involves 1. Institutional sale 2. Prescription sale In institutional sales, list of products, rate of each product, details about the quality of products and a covering letter is send to various medical institutions. If they are satisfied with the rate and Page | 36
  • 37. quality of the product, they give purchase order to the company and the product is distributed. The company now is not going for prescribed sales. The price of product is determined by the price fixing committee which consists of top officials of the company. The rate of the medicines in the open market sales will be 5 to 30 % increased rate than for the government sales. The company is not permitted to sell the medicines at same price to open market and government. Branding During 1984,the company had branded products such as supremol tab for co-trimoxazole, Brodilan tab for saltbutamol 2mg +Theophylline 100 mg,kaymox250& 500 mg for Amoxicillin trihydrate,Maxillin 250 mg & 500 mg for Ampicillin trihydrate,Symix 100ml for cough syrup. At present,the company distributes its medicine under trade name as there is only less open market sales in function. Eg:Paracentamol Advertisements And Promotion As the company is not concentrating in open market sales, there is no advertisement and promotional efforts. 3.8.2.1Marketing process ( open market sales- hospitals) Customer study, analysis and enquiry Contacting prospective customers (hospitals) Receiving Enquiries from Interested Customers Receiving Purchase Order Transfer of products to the customers Page | 37

  • 40. Personnel function is the effective function of management which means getting effective result with people. It permeates the entire department, since each executive must depend upon his subordinates for good result. Now HR system is developed as a result of restructuring the company by the way of induction of young blood by recruitment and selection. This is under process. There was an elaborated organisational structure before implementing VRS. Presently there are 236 employees in the company including contract workers, trainees, casual employees. The main function of this department are  General administration  Human resource planning  Recruitment and induction  Wages and salary  Training and development  Performance appraisal  Welfare measure  Labour relation. General Administration General administration includes a. Time keeping The company now has mainly four shifts  Production shift 1 - 6.30 am – 2.30 pm  Production shift 2 - 2.30 pm – 10.30 pm  Production shift 3 - 10.30 pm – 6.30 am  Office / general shift - 9.00 am – 5.00 pm Office maintains all attendance records of employees. An unauthorized absence is reported to appropriate section. It maintains records of any medical leave, compensatory leave, overtime offs, break more than half hour, on duty leave etc. This attendance list helps in the wage calculation. Time office use punching system for entry and exit of the permanent employees. In the case of late attendance up to 15 minutes, the concern department should give consent to the employees because the punching system cut off automatically after 15 minutes.

Employment administration includes  Maintaining details of agreed strength and actual strength.  Statistical data related to employees  Sending report relating to manpower  Maintaining seniority list and positions. c. Maintenance of personal records d. Contract labour management e. Formulating HR policies and procedure f. Issue office order, notices and circulars g. Administration of various schemes and agreement h. Administration of quality management system Recruitment And Selection The company mainly goes for two ways of recruitment. They are 1. Direct recruitment 2. Public service commission (PSC) Direct recruitment is done by publishing vacancies in newspaper and selected by conducting interview or tests as per the interest of the company. Direct recruitment is done for selecting managers, technical staffs, clerks etc. Security, receptionist, phone operators, drivers, peon are recruited by PSC. In KSDP, currently new recruitment process is being carried out for the betalactum plant operations. Moreover at the time of financial crises most of the permanent employees took VRS. The company is now planning to recruit employees in those vacancies. In selection first the applicants are screened on the basis of their qualification, experience, age, sex, additional qualification. If the number of applicants is more, a test is conducted before interview. Unstructured and job based interviews are conducted in KSDP. Page | 41
  • 42. Induction Usually, for the newly employed personal, KSDP assigns a probation period that may extend from 6 months to 1 year. After the probation period is over, these personnel are only employed if the officials are confirmed of their ability. Training And Development In KSDP, training is given due importance. For newly recruited employees, usually on the job training is given. Training is given for existing employees if there is any change in technology. When new machines are introduced, training is given. In such cases off job training is given by the companies from where the new machine is purchased. Currently, due to lack of adequate financial assistance by the government no development process is being carried out. Performance Appraisal The section head of each department assess the work norms i.e. duties and responsibilities and achievement of the worker. Organizational behavior and attitude of the employee towards the job is evaluated and then the head of each department prepare a performance appraisal report. This report is then forwarded to the HR manager. The HR manager then takes necessary actions depending upon the performance of employees. Increments, incentives, gifts, or promotion is given to the employees whose performance is good. Thus the employees are motivated to get more productivity. Evaluation Process Based on 1) Assessment of job - Job knowledge - Planning, organizing, control and coordinating - Work output - Cost consciousness - Attitude to work Page | 42

  • 44.  In safety and health policy of their employees environmental cleanliness  That a work place which is free from hazards, accidents, and pollution enhances productivity and quality of products  That accidents and pollution cause unfold suffering and loss not only to the employees but also to the company and society Safety measures adopted by the company are  Good plant layout, machinery, equipment, tools and facilities  Giving on the job training and thus making the workers familiar with the working environment.  Providing mask for the workers to ensure that an emission from the pant does not affect their health. In KSDP, the employees are subjected to Medical check – up yearly. Moreover, Accident Benefit is given by ESI to the employees in case of occurrence of accident. Grievance Handling The management has been following an open door policy, which ensures that grievances raised by employees are given a fair hearing and solutions are provided. Grievances are either individual grievance or collective grievance. It is addressed by the employee to the HR manager.
