Brief history of the company

The Essar Group was founded in 1969, by brothers Mr Sashi Ruia and Mr Ravi Ruia. The Essar Group began its operations with the construction of an outer breakwater in Chennai port. It quickly moved to capitalize on every emerging business opportunity, becoming Indias first private company to buy a fleet and oilrigs. Then, in the 1990s, Essar began its steelmaking business by setting up Indias first sponge iron plant in Hazira, a coastal town in the western India state of Gujurat. Through the 1990s, with the gradual liberalization of the Indian economy, Essar seized every opportunity that came its way. It diversified its shipping fleet, started oil & gas exploration and production, laid the foundation of its oil refinery at Vadinar, Gujurat, and set up a power plant near the steel complex in Hazira. The construction business helped the Group build most of its business assets. Essar also entered the GSM telephony business, establishing Indias first mobile phone service in tanker in 1976. The Group also invested in a diverse shipping

Delhi (branded Essar Cellphone) with Swiss PTT as the joint venture partner.

Company Operation
Business operations are those ongoing recurring (cyclic) activities involved in the running of a business for the purpose of producing value for the stakeholders. They are contrasted with project management (business change managers are

responsible for bridging the gap between the projects and business operations), and consist of business processes. The outcome of business operations is the harvesting of value from assets owned by a business. Assets can be either physical or intangible. An example of value derived from a physical asset like a building is rent. An example of value derived from an intangible asset like an idea is a royalty. The effort involved in "harvesting" this value is what constitutes business operations cycles. Business operations encompass three fundamental management imperatives that collectively aim to maximize value harvested from business assets (this has often been referred to as "sweating the assets"):
1.

Generate recurring income

2. Increase the value of the business assets 3. Secure the income and value of the business The three imperatives are interdependent. The following basic tenets illustrate this interdependency:

The more recurring income an asset generates the more valuable it becomes. For example, the products that sell at the highest volumes and prices are usually considered

to be the most valuable products in a business's product portfolio.

The more valuable a product becomes the more recurring income it generates. For example, a luxury car can be leased out at a higher rate than a normal car.

SIP prepared by Amritraj Rout

The intrinsic value and income-generating potential of an asset cannot be realized without a way to secure it. For example, petroleum deposits are worthless unless processes and equipment are developed and employed to extract, refine, and distribute it profitably.

The business model of a business describes the means by which the three management imperatives are achieved. In this sense, business operations are the execution of the business model.
Generating recurring income

This is the most straightforward and well-understood management imperative of business operations. The primary

goal of this imperative is to implement a sustained delivery of goods and services to the business's customers at a cost that is less than the funds acquired in exchange for said goods and servicesin short, making a profit. The fund directly acquired by the business in exchange for the goods and services it delivers is the business's revenue. The cost of developing, producing, and delivering these goods and services is the business's expenses. A business whose revenues are sufficiently greater than its expenses makes profit or income. Such a business is profitable. As such, generating recurring "revenue" is not the focus of operations management; what counts is management of the relationship between the cost of goods sold and the revenue derived from their sale. Efficient processes that reduce costs even while prices remain the same expand the gap between revenue and expenses and derive higher profitability.

SIP prepared by Amritraj Rout

Increasing the value of the business The more profitable a business is, the more valuable it is. A business's profitability is measured on the following basis: How much income it generates for the amount of assets its business operations employits business returns. How much income it generates for the amount of revenue it realizesits business margin. Securing the income and value of the business Desirability or demand for its goods and services Ability of its customers to pay for its goods and services Uniqueness and competitiveness of its business model Control exerted over the quality and efficiency of production activities Public regard for the business as a member of the community A business that can harvest a significant amount of value from its assets but cannot demonstrate an ability to sustain this effort cannot be considered a viable business.

What is monitoring of operating system?

Operations management is also an academic field of study that focuses on the effective planning, scheduling, use, and control of a manufacturing or service firm and their operations. The field is a synthesis of concepts derived from design engineering, industrial engineering, management information systems, quality management, production management, inventory management, accounting, and other functions.

SIP prepared by Amritraj Rout

The field of operations management has been gaining increased recognition over the last two decades. One major reason for this is public awareness of the success of Japanese manufacturers and the perception that the quality of many Japanese products is superior to that of American manufacturers. As a result, many businesses have come to realize that the operations function is just as important to their firm as finance and marketing. In concert with this, firms now realize that in order to effectively compete in a global market they must have an operations strategy to support the mission of the firm and its overall corporate strategy.

Another reason for greater awareness of operations management is the increased application of operations management concepts and techniques to service operations.

Points under the studies

The Essar Group, which has executed ports and terminals at Vadinar, Hazira and Salaya in Gujarat, has now signed license agreement with Paradip Port Trust (PPT) for mechanization of multi-user berth for handling dry and bulk cargo with a total capacity of 16 million tons per annum (mtpa). For this purpose, Essar Bulk Terminal Paradip Ltd (EBTPL) will invest about Rs 500 crore for mechanization of Central Quay-III berth, taking the total port sector investment of the Essar Group at Paradip to over Rs 1,000 crore. With the completion of this, the total terminal capacity planned by Essar Group at Paradip would be enhanced to 30 mtpa, comprising both third party cargo as well as captive cargo. The project is scheduled to be commissioned in April 2011. The license is for a period of 10 years, extendable by another five years with mutual consent.

EBTPL is a part of Essar Shipping Ports and Logistics Ltd (ESPLL), a major port owner and operator and an integrated logistics solution provider having substantial investments in ports and terminal.

ESPLL is a logistics services company with presence in sea transportation, ports and terminals, logistics and oilfields services. This is the second port project of ESPLL with PPT for handling third party cargo. Earlier, ESPLL, which is building a cargo handling capacity of over 150 million tonnes (both dry and bulk cargo), was awarded the project for development of 14 mtpa deep draught coal berth at Paradip on buildoperate-transfer (BOT) basis for a concession period of 30 years, with a project cost of Rs 560 crore.

ESPLL has a shipping fleet of 25 vessels, with 12 new ships on order. It would be investing more than $0.6 billion to procure these vessels. ESPLL has been

contracting drilling services to global oil majors, with a fleet of 12 onshore rigs and one semi-submersible offshore rig, while two new jack-up rigs are on order.

Currently, the company is executing expansion of oil terminal capacity from 46 mtpa to 58 mtpa at Vadinar, building a 50 mtpa, all-weather deep draft port and jetty for import of iron, coal and limestone and export of finished steel products at Hazira and a 20 mtpa integrated terminal facility for handling coal and pet coke used in power plant at Salaya, all in Gujarat.
