INTRODUCTION
In today’s competitive world with fast depleting material resource, and with all its limitations, it has become imperative to develop human resources and its effectiveness. The continued effectiveness and efficiency of an organization to some extent depend on the ability of its employees to produce at high levels of efficiency, and to keep abreast with role, which the job demands. Training should be a long terms investment in human resources which can be achieved by following the equation.
Performance = Ability * Efficiency
Training can have an impact of both these factors. It is a powerful tool that can have a major impact on the employee’s productivity and morale.
The first and foremost activity concerned with this effort is to identify their training needs. The needs of the employees may very from department to department, from person to person and from organization to organization.
The concept aims to meet an employee’s needs/goals with current or future opportunities with in organization and pertaining to changing environment of the industry. The activity recognizes the employee’s needs for advancement in his carrier and of better opportunities to use his talent.
It appreciates the fact that employees should be trained for new technology. The organization may move into other areas, changing the type of skills necessary to do, Training of employees can be a fruitful means for the organization to increase
its productivity, to sustain the existence of the organization in a better way and finally, to prepare them for the future.
ESCORTS PROFILE

“In the last 50 years ESCORTS has been more than merely one of the INDIAS largest engineering companies. It has been a prime mover on the industrial front, at every stage introducing products & technologies that helped to take the country forward in key areas. Today as the nation engages in its most momentous economic transformation ever, we are once again adapting ourselves towards being catalyst for qualitative growth by engineering change with a global prospective.”
AGRI MACHINERY GROUP
Escorts Agri Machinery group is one of the six strategic business units of Escorts group and the largest contributor to the group turn over. Escorts initiated its venture tractors with an assembly plant in 1961. The first agricultural tractors under the brand name of “ESCORTS” were produced in 1961. Following the collaboration with ford motor company, Escorts started another brand name to its portfolio – the ford series of tractors in 1969. Following the disengagement agreed with FORD NEW HOLLAND, Ford was renamed as FARMTRAC in 1966 & was relaunched in Indian market.
Escorts have made dent in exports as well as tapped the U.S. market in a significant way. Escorts is acquiring 49% equity in long manufacturing company based in north Carolina which is currently distributing its tractor, with over 5 lakhs tractor having been sold by company till date, every fourth tractor is a tractor from ESCORTS. Technology up gradation, product improvement, better services, wider distribution network & capacity expansion is the BUZZWORDS in ESCORTS AMG.
ESCORTS with its two brands of FARMTRAC & ESCORTS TRACTORS are amongst India’s largest manufacturers of tractors in 25 to 50 HP range. The performance characteristics of ESCORTS AND FARMTRAC are unmatched
AMG of ESCORTS limited is responsible for the marketing of both ESCORTS & FARMTRAC brands of tractors. The operational structure of AMG comprises of 4 regional & 19 area offices and functions on countrywide scale. Service and part personnel are responsible for promoting sales, extending services to the customer and ensuring availability of spare parts. Thus AMG continues to play its productive role on the farm front by putting more & more tractors at the service of Indian market.
Facing & Centering
Facing is part of the turning process. It involves moving the cutting tool at right angles to the axis of rotation of the rotating work piece. This can be performed by the operation of the cross-slide, if one is fitted, as distinct from the longitudinal feed (turning). It is frequently the first operation performed in the production of the work piece, and often the last- hence the phrase "ending up".
Grinding
Grinding practice is a large and diverse area of toolmaking. It can produce very fine finishes and very accurate dimensions; yet in mass production contexts it can also rough out large volumes of metal quite rapidly. It is usually better suited to the machining of very hard materials than is "regular" machining (that is, cutting larger chips with cuttin tools such as tool bits or milling cutters), and until recent decades it was the only practical way to machine such materials as hardened steels. Compared to "regular" machining, it is usually better suited to taking very shallow cuts, such as reducing a shaft's diameter by half a thousand of an inch (thou).(1 thou == 25 um)
Technically, grinding is a subset of cutting, as grinding is a true metal cutting process. Each grain of abrasive functions as a microscopic single-point cutting edge (although of high negative rake angle), and shears a tiny chip that is analogous to what would conventionally be called a "cut" chip (turning, milling, drilling, tapping, etc.). However, among people who work in the machining fields, the term cutting is often understood to refer to the macroscopic cutting operations, and grinding is often mentally categorized as a "separate" process. This is why the terms are usually used in contradistinction in shop-floor practice, even though technically grinding is a subset of cutting.
Welding
The arc welding makes arcs between a material and a welding rod. And it is a well used welding method. In the arc welding, we use a torch with a welding rod as shown in Figure 1. And both of the material and the welding rod are meant in the arc. The arc welding is very high speed, and if the welding is very well, the strength is very high. But the arc is very light, then we cannot see the welding processes.
All weldings, including the arc welding, need higher technique than cutting processings, because we do not have the same conditions.
