Introduction
Visit to industrial plant helps provide a practical experience of what we
study in classrooms and through the text books. They help make us
understand how people in an organizational setting actually work together as
a team and together coordinate towards achievement of organizational
objectives.
Through this project, I provide my report on the industrial visit to Bangalore
situated plant of BHEL .
This visit was a part of industry interface program where the students got a
practical view of organization and its working.
The objective of this study was to impart knowledge in the field of SCR.
The methodology adopted for the study comprised of visit to the plant
premises and observing. A question and answer round was also arranged
where the queries were answered.
Although the study is limited by various constraints of time, space (visit
being limited to plant premises) and individual differences etc, yet it has
been an immense learning experience for all students of V sem BE-Electrical
& Electronics.

Company profile
In 1956 India took a major step towards the establishment of its heavy
engineering industry when Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., (BHEL) setup at
Bhopal. It progressed rapidly and three more factories went into production
in 1965. The main aim of establishing BHEL was to meet the growing
power requirement of the country. BHEL appeared on the power map of
India in 1969 when the first unit supplied by it was commissioned at the
Basin Bridge Thermal Power Station in Tamilnadu. Within a decade, BHEL
had commissioned the 100th unit at Santaldih, West Bengal.
Today, BHEL is the largest engineering and manufacturing enterprise in
India in the energy-related/infrastructure sector. BHEL was established
more than 40 years ago, ushering in the indigenous Heavy Electrical
Equipment industry in India - a dream that has been more than realized with
a well-recognized track record of performance. The company has been
earning profits continuously since 1971-72 and paying dividends since
1976-77.
BHEL manufactures over 180 products under 30 major product groups and
caters to core sectors of the Indian Economy viz., Power Generation &
Transmission, Industry, Transportation, Telecommunication, Renewable
Energy, etc. The wide network of BHEL's 14 manufacturing divisions, four
Power Sector regional centres, over 100 project sites, eight service centres
and 18 regional offices, enables the Company to promptly serve its
customers and provide them with suitable products, systems and services --
efficiently and at competitive prices. The high level of quality & reliability
of its products is due to the emphasis on design, engineering and
manufacturing to international standards by acquiring and adapting some of
the best technologies from leading companies in the world, together with
technologies developed in its own R&D centres.

BHEL has acquired certifications to Quality Management Systems (ISO
9001), Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14001) and Occupational
Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSAS 18001) and is also well on
its journey towards Total Quality Management.
BHEL's operations are organized around three business sectors, namely
Power, Industry - including Transmission, Transportation,
Telecommunication & Renewable Energy - and Overseas Business. This
enables BHEL to have a strong customer orientation, to be sensitive to his
needs and respond quickly to the changes in the market.
BHEL's vision is to become a world-class engineering enterprise,
committed to enhancing stakeholder value. The company is striving to give
shape to its aspirations and fulfill the expectations of the country to become
a global player.
The greatest strength of BHEL is its highly skilled and committed 42,600
employees. Every employee is given an equal opportunity to develop
himself and grow in his career. Continuous training and retraining, career
planning, a positive work culture and participative style of management - all
these have engineered development of a committed and motivated workforce
setting new benchmarks in terms of productivity, quality and
responsiveness.
BHEL has taken India from a near total dependence on imports to
complete self-reliance in this vital area of power plant equipment. BHEL has
supplied 97% of the power generating equipment that was commissioned in
India during 1979-80. BHEL has already supplied generating equipment to
various utilities produce annually; equipment capable of generating
6000MW. This will grow further to enable BHEL to meet all of India’s
projected power equipment requirements, as well as sizeable portion of
export targets.
Probably the most significant aspect of BHEL’s growth has been its
diversification. The constant reorientation of the organization to meet the
varied needs in time with time a philosophy that has led to the development
of a total capability – from concept to commissioning not only in the field of
7
energy but also in industry and transportation. In the world power scene,
BHEL ranks among the top ten manufacturers of power plant equipment and
in terms of the spectrum of products and services offered, it is right on top.
BHEL’s technological excellence and turnkey capabilities have won it
world wide recognition. Over 40 countries in the world over have placed
orders with BHEL covering individual equipment to complete power
stations on a turnkey basis. In 1978-79 export earnings reached Rs.122
crores, the highest for any year.
BHEL has its headquarters at New Delhi. Its operations are spread
over 11 manufacturing plants and number of engineering and service
divisions located across the country. The service divisions include a network
of regional branch offices throughout India.
BHEL is aware that both its national and international commitments
will increase greatly in the years to come. And it faces the challenges and the
tasks ahead with the confidence acquired through the wealth of experience in
the world market it serves.
