Cover Concept
We are full of suggestions about how leaders could have
made our lives easier. But who ever asks themselves,
“Was I a good follower?”
There are many books and articles on how to lead well,
but what about how to follow well? Good leadership and
good followership are really two sides of the same coin.
You learn to lead by learning to follow. Genuine followers
and leaders are REAL – Responsible, Ethical, Authentic
and Loving. Responsible followers are alert and take
ownership. Followers who are ethical have clear values
and principled behavior. Authentic followers are genuine,
humble and view other people as people. Loving people
show love towards others and towards their leader.
The footprints on the cover depict both leaders and
followers who go on to script successful stories.

EDITORIAL

To take stock (of something) is to think carefully about a situation
or event and form an opinion about it, so that you can decide
what to do.
History doesn’t just happen; it is made—made by real people
who faced real challenges, who had uncertainty about the future,
just as we do today. History is not about the past. If you think
about it, no one ever lived in the past.... They lived in the present.
The difference is, it was their present, not ours. They were caught
up in the living moment exactly as we are, and with no more
certainty of how things would turn out than we have.
History can be an important instrument that informs our approach
to critical issues today. Also, it has a tendency of repeating itself,
if we don’t learn by experience. The past points out the right and
the wrong we did back then, which tells us what to repeat and
what we should not. This issue is dedicated to past highlights in
Susamwad past issues.

“Nostalgia is
like a grammar
lesson: You find
the present tense
and the past
perfect.”
COVER STORY
Looking Back in joy : The Power of Nostalgia
Long considered a disorder, nostalgia is now recognised as a powerful tool in the battle against anxiety and depression.
Is it healthy to dwell in the past? Up until about 15 years ago most psychologists would have suggested probably not.
The habit of living in memory rather than the present, of comparing how things once were with how things are now,
was for several centuries thought at best a trait to avoid and at worst a root cause of depressive illness. It had been
considered a psychological disorder ever since the term was coined by a 17th-century Swiss army physician who
attributed the fragile mental and physical health of some troops to their longing to return home – nostos in Greek, and
algos, the pain that attended thoughts of it.
Research suggests that nostalgia is a kind of inbuilt neurological defence mechanism, which can be marshalled to
protect us against negative thoughts and situations. It elevates meaningfulness, connectedness and continuity in the
past. It is like a vitamin and an antidote to those states. It serves to promote emotional equilibrium. Nostalgia thus
helps build resources like optimism or inspiration or creativity, which are correlated with mental fortitude.
The Editorial team of your magazine, Susamwad, therefore thought of taking our readers down memory lane by
bringing some highlights of the past issues from our archives.

It’s all About
Attitude....
“All Moanday, Tearsday, Wailsday, Thumpsday,
Frightday, Shatterday” – James Joyce
When did you last think, “Why me?? Why should I always
get stuck into a mess like this? God, what wrong have I
done??” Oh, plenty of times, I am sure. Life is messy;
then be it problems in your family, your social life or your
professional life. Reading other’s stories, touches us - gives
us a sense of companionship. Why does someone else’s
life, their problems, their experiences seem so similar to
ours?? Maybe it’s because there are some truths of life; of
the world. I have picked out some quotations I have read or
heard and elaborated on them. In this article, I try to guess
some of these truths - some I have realized from my own
experiences. And believe me - I am sure you will relate to
all these if you think about the dilemmas you are facing or
have already faced.
“Life is not a spectator sport.”
Destiny, karma ... fate ... luck-all these things are so often
said of life. But I think they are just ways to reassure
oneself, to deny that we create the destiny, we decide our
luck. You have got to play life, not sit on the side benches
waiting for someone other to score the goal or to fall down
for that matter. We should play fast, hard ... cheat a little,
hurt ourself ... but keep playing nonetheless. Play as if there
is no tomorrow. The best part about the ‘life-game’ is that
we can change the rules - maybe there are none. Are you
unsure of doing something you want to badly? I think you
should go ahead and do it. And you may be surprised to
know how easily you can achieve something.
“It’s like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly
different than you dreamed.”
Reality - it comes to us no matter what disguise we put on. It
creeps out sooner or later. Truth hurts incredibly. And so we
lie. But you know, it hurts even more when you finally realize
that it is actually happening. You don’t know the future so
why worry about it? I am not saying be all carefree... you
can fret. But don’t wonder about how things will turn up,
in what state you’ll be in future. You don’t get answers to
these questions and even if you do, that’s your fantasy- it
is rarely true.
It is not very important if it’s “happily ever after...” so as long
as it’s happy right now.
“See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will
surprise you. And once in a while ... people may even take
your breath away.”
As much as rules and laws rein you, you are urged to break
free and sprint out of the monotonous life. Some rules
are necessary, but some rules which we set for ourselves
restrain us from seeing the inner, minute qualities of people.
I am not saying that you have to get along with everyone,
but just get to know them before you form your opinions.
You are not actually superior than anybody out there. And if
you think you are, that’s where you fail. There’s a concealed
story behind every person. Everything has a reason. Nobody
COVER STORY
is bad out there. It’s just that you become so oblivious and
self-centered that you don’t even try to explore. You may
miss out on some very good friendships. You may go up
and up as much as you want. But there’s always a time
when you loose balance and fall. But the fall is always easier
when you can count on friends to catch you.
“We did not change as we grew older. We clearly become
ourselves” - Lynn Hall
It’s not the change around us that troubles us, but the fact
that we are not changing does. You can hardly define a
person when he/she is very young. It’s the years in which
we mature, that we change. It’s not about the standard
way of life anymore, it’s more like our own way. I would
tell everybody to listen to their conscience - honestly. It’s
almost always right. Then living in a different way than
before doesn’t matter. Coping with change is not easy for
everyone. But the best solution is to accept things. Change
is inevitable. It’s not good or bad, right or wrong ... nothing
ever remains the same.
“Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer?” “Because it
feels so good when I stop.”
Pain is an integral part of everyone’s life. It may be
devastating, it may be trifling, but pain hurts.
If we look back and see, we realize that the pain that time
was not so big than what it is now. But the truth is that pain is
always huge when we live in it. And maybe we even secretly
like it. Because without pain there would be no joy of
overcoming it. We can imagine about life without pain all we
want. But what we don’t realize is that we imagine because
we ache. Yes, you can fight it, compromise, anesthetize it.
But you can’t beat it ... because there’s always more.
“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about
life: it goes on.” - Robert Frost
So, that’s what it all comes to in the end - the flashing
reality. Without all the blues, without all the hard-hitting
experiences we would not live. We would exist. What is that
saying? Life is not fair.
But it actually is - it gives all the pain, but it has its share of
happiness, too. It’s not even hidden, it just goes unnoticed,
I think.

COVER STORY
A Step Towards Customer Delight
of safety switches, do’s and don’t, etc. Since this was their
first visit to Pune, we organized a tour of Pune city, which
was appreciated by them.
We had taken feedback from all participants about this
program. One constructive and interesting feedback
received was that so far they were not clear about many
aspects of our compressors and now after this program
their confidence has gone up.
This program was a grand success which will certainly bring
our customer closer to us in future and boost the equipment
and spare parts business.
Vilas Siddha
Sr. Manager (ACR - Spares & Service)
Know how for users at KPCL Saswad
As discussed during the Annual Dealers Conference in
October 2007, we had organized 4 days special training
session in January 2008 at KPCL Saswad for users from
Agra who are actually responsible for satisfactory operation
of our KC compressors in cold storage sector.
To keep the momentum going, we organized a similar
training session from 14th to 16th December, 2009, again
at our Saswad plant, for users from Varanasi (UP) who were
basically plant incharge / operator level people.
Sanjay Grover and Amit Srivastava from our Delhi office
and D P Singh from our Lucknow office were instrumental in
talking to cold storage owners in Varanasi and organizing visit
of these plant incharge / operators to KPCL Saswad. Total
16 users attended this course. To motivate and encourage
participation in such programs, as a special case, we had
arranged lodging, boarding and local conveyance at our
cost for all users which was well appreciated by them.
This training was arranged to have interaction with all users
on our after market support, to explain good maintenance
practices, advantage of using genuine spare parts /
advantage oil and to get the optimum output from our
refrigeration compressors.
This was also arranged to promote refrigeration air cooled
KCX compressors. We had also arranged a class room
training at KPCL Saswad with all users wherein these
aspects were taken care of.
We had also organized Saswad factory visit. New processes
introduced to improve the product quality and infrastructure
to produce world class product was explained, which was
appreciated by all users. Hands on training was organized
on all types of compressors by explaining them the role
of the major parts in functioning of the compressors ,
clearances to be maintained during overhauling and the
testing procedures.
Safety switches are the backbone for satisfactory
performance of the compressor. As we felt that users should
have in-depth knowledge of safety switches supplied
with each refrigeration compressor, we had arranged an
exclusive session for the same and covered trouble shooting

COVER STORY
KPCL Makes Waves
in the Marine Sector
• INS Shivalik, the first indigenously built frigate class stealth warship
was commissioned on 29th April, 2010, in the Indian Navy. Defence
Minister A K Antony inducted the frigate in a ceremony held at Mazgon
Docks, Mumbai. INS Shivalik is first of three ship
Project -17 frigates.
The 143 meter-long warship, with 6,000 tonnes
displacement, has “versatile control systems with
signature management and radar cross-section
reduction features.” Commissioning of the Shivalik
has brought India in the league of those few who
have capability to build stealth warships. Other
countries having similar capacity are the USA, the
UK, Russia, France, China, Japan and Italy.
It’s a ship that is designed to escape detection by
normal radars and surveillance equipment. Special
aerodynamics,
equipment and
material used in
designing and
building these
ships make it very
difficult to monitor
their movements.
That’s why they
are called ‘stealth
frigates.’ Shivalik
class warships
can deal with multiple threat environment and are fitted with weapon
suite comprising both area and point defence systems. It has sensors
for air, surface and subsurface surveillance, electronic support and
counter equipment and decoys for ‘soft kill measures’.
The MDL is building two other warships in this Shivalik series to be
named INS Sayahdri and INS Satpura which will be commissioned
by the end of this year and middle of next year respectively under
Project-17.
Each of these frigates is equipped with six 144 TR Air Conditioning and two 2.1 TR
Refrigeration Plants supplied by KPCL. As a part of commissioning activity, a three
day training program was arranged for the crew of INS Shivalik at our Hadapsar
and Saswad works. The program, which covered design specifications, working
of the plant, operational and maintenance aspects and trouble shooting, was well
appreciated by the delegates.
• KPCL has supplied seven 2400 kW air conditioning plants for the prestigious
P71 project of the Indian Navy – Indigenous Aircraft Carrier being built at Cochin
Shipyard Limited. All plants were tested for full load performance including noise
and vibration trials before dispatch.

Thanks to the state-of-the-art facility at our Saswad works, we can test air conditioning plants up to
1000 TR on full load. The test facility comprises two test beds, cooling water and chilled water systems including pumps
and cooling tower. The test bed is of RCC construction duly isolated from surroundings by a layer of cork and has stiffness
resembling to that of the hull of a naval vessel. With this the AC Plant can be tested in simulated environmental conditions
prevalent on the naval vessel. Special adaptor base plates were used for testing the plant in tilted condition to simulate the
rolling of a ship.
The first plant has undergone an endurance test for continuous 100 hours followed by full load performance trial of 24
hours and tilt test for 1 hour in athwart directions. All parameters were continuously logged on a PLC. Structure borne and
air borne noise levels were measured at various frequencies. All subsequent plants were tested at full load performance for
24 hours as well.
It is our endeavor to meet all the testing requirements of our customers. Some of the ships in the Indian Naval fleet have
440 V 60 Hz supply, whereas EKM class submarines have DC supply of 180 to 320 V. For testing of plants being supplied
for retrofits on these ships/submarines, our facility at Saswad works is equipped with Variable Frequency Drive (up to 150
kW motor rating) and a DC Rectifier (up to 45 kW motor rating).
While building customer confidence, this test facility will also boost our efforts to supply quality products and give a
marketing edge to our Marine Business Group.

Destination Success
The AC&R division was set up in 1962-63 to meet the
growing demand of refrigeration compressors. Till then the
market for these compressors was dominated by European
and American manufacturers. KPCL has always made it
a point to study any market thoroughly before entering it.
Accordingly, we undertook market research of competitors
and their products before setting foot in this field.
We began making refrigeration compressors in technical
collaboration with, “Grasso” of Holland. These were
the times with great restrictions on imports. The tie up
therefore was restricted to technology transfer. Having
mastered the manufacturing and marketing of these
compressors, the team led by L N Joshi felt confident that
they could contribute much more in this field. This led to the
establishment of AC&R projects group. This offered us the
opportunity to cater to smaller as well as bigger demand
levels of products in this market.
Around the same time we entered the field of centrifugal
chillers in collaboration with Hitachi of Japan. This
boosted our turnover significantly. Between 1970 to
1980, we completed various prestigious projects like the
International airports at Delhi & Mumbai, five star hotels,
etc. These centrifugal chillers were working with R 12
refrigerants. However being harmful to environment, we
stopped manufacturing these products. Bidding good-bye
to such excellent business opportunities for the cause of
environment conservation is indeed a mark of a visionary
and socially oriented entrepreneur.
The indomitable spirit of KPCians would not want to stop at
just that. They realized there was a market for huge cooling
plants, which used modern screw compressor technology.
For this we tied up with Howden in 1984-85. We won our
debut project in this field in 1986 from Kanpur based IEL.
From then on we did not look back. I can proudly state that
from the screw compressors installed in India majority of
those working to customer satisfaction are of Kirloskar make.
1997 brought with it another opportunity for us – UOP Inter
Americana was in need for propylene based cooling system
for their project at Jamnagar, Reliance (oil refining). This
is the world’s largest grass root refinery. Till then we had
not handled any project using propylene as a refrigerant
but we were confident of our capability to successfully
take the project to its fruition. Reliance deputed its team
for inspection of our work processes and quality assurance
procedures only after being 100% satisfied with this,
did they place the order on us. Today we are handling
prestigious projects for IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, etc where we
are using propane or propylene as a refrigerant. It is indeed
a matter of great pride that we have successfully faced
competition from international players for hydro carbon
based refrigeration systems.
After successfully using Hydrocarbons for refrigeration,
the natural progression was to move towards Process Gas
Compression. We signed an exclusive packaging agreement
with the erstwhile Cooper Energy Services USA now
Cameron Compression for packaging their reciprocating
gas compressors . We received our first order in 2003 for
supply of high pressure CNG compressor systems.
Today we are an established name in India in the process
gas compression market. We are market leaders in
CNG systems and have reciprocating and screw based
compressor systems in our portfolio.
Simultaneously, we were equally successful in responding
to indigenization drive of Indian Navy. The major
breakthrough in this field came in 2004 in the form of an
order from Mazagaon Docks Ltd for supply of 36 nos Air
Conditioning plants for Kolkata class (P15A) destroyers &
Shivalik class (P17) stealth frigates of Indian Navy. In the
process, we graduated in developing our capabilities to take
care of the stringent specifications & testing requirements
of equipment for warships & marine environment. We have
set up test facilities for testing of Air Conditioning plants up
to 1000 TR capacity on full load. We have met the demands
of retrofit market as well in last couple of years. In 2007, we
bagged KPCL’s single largest order (till date) of 80 crores
for supply of 7 nos. 2400 kW capacity Air-Conditioning
plants from M/s Cochin Shipyard Limited for installation on
board new Indigenous Air Craft Carrier.
Thus, it is that, the ACR & PGS division has become one of
the biggest division at KPCL and is constantly progressing
to scale greater heights. The division clocked a turnover
of Rs 25 crores in the fiscal 1985 which jumped to Rs 265
crores in fiscal 2009. I am sure that the ACR& PGS division
will continue to power the company’s way to progress and
prosperity.

“In order to stay alive, your body must live on the wings of
change. At this moment you are exhaling atoms of hydrogen,
oxygen, carbon and nitrogen that just an instant ago were
locked up in solid matter; your stomach, liver, heart, lungs
and brain are vanishing into thin air, being replaced as
quickly and endlessly as they are being broken down. The
skin replaces itself once a month, the stomach lining every
five days, the liver every six weeks, and the skeleton every three months. By the
end of an year, 98% of the atoms in your body will have been exchanged for new ones.” Indeed resistance to
change is the same as resistance to life.

Introduction of Insert Type Disc (Gasher)
Cutter
KPCL Transmission Division supplies loose gears and
pinions to Indian Railways regularly. While reviewing
various processes in gear manufacturing, hobbing was
identified as one of the bottleneck areas. The Gasher
cutter technology developed for this operation resulted in
a breakthrough Improvement.
Currently, we use hobs of various modules for teeth cutting
operation on conventional and CNC hobbing machines.
Hobbing is done by generation method on both types
of machines. Our Hofler CNC hobbing (Model - HF 900)
machine, has the facility of single indexing of table,
which makes it possible for us to consider Gasher cutter
technology. Especially since machining with Hob requires
frequent re-grinding or re-sharpening with intermittent
coating which is time consuming and needs to be done at
suppliers end with lead time of 4 to 5 days.
We have selected this component for pilot project. Using
Gasher cutter one tooth (Full depth) of 12 Modules can
be cut at a time. Cutter is Disc type Dia. 350 mm, with 24
Flank Inserts and 18 Root Inserts After detailed study of our
manufacturing processes and series of techno commercial
discussions with various manufactures of this type of
cutters, we opted for Sandvik Asia Pvt. Ltd. After furnishing
all required data and discussing various alternatives, we
decided to go for finish hobbing type cutter for this gear.
Earlier method of using roughing Gasher cutter and then
using hob on same arbor was not an economical solution
for us. Cost benefit analysis and payback period was
worked out and cutter was ordered.
Benefits of the Gasher cutter technology on CNC
hobbing machine
• This is a productive process by which gear can be cut
in less than 50% time and pinion in 30 % of earlier cycle
time
• Power of CNC HF 900 machine is better utilized with use
of higher speed and feed
• Capacity of CNC Hobber has been enhanced, while
cost of subcontracting shows a downward trend
• Lead time / waiting time for re-grinding and intermittent
coating of hob was eliminated due to insert changing
• Using older hobs after re-grinding is not economical,
as they have to operate at de-rated cutting parameters.
This has been eliminated by the new cutter
• No need of keeping an extra hob in stock as it is
consumable i.e. reduction in consumable cost
• Quality improvement and consistency in grinding
allowance / production process
• Manufacturing cost per component is reduced
considerably

• Crowning in case of pinions can be generated by cutter,
reducing cycle time of teeth grinding operation on Helix
400
• Overall through put time of gear / pinion manufacturing
has reduced
Horizontal Deployment
After successful trials and inspection, we are now using
this technology for other type of gears and pinions as well.
Till date we have received seven cutters while four more
cutters are under manufacturing. After implementation of
Dry cutting method, we will save consumption of cutting oil
on these CNC machines.

COVER STORY
Journey to The Core of TPM
With competition rife in industry TPM is the only thing that
stands between success and total failure for companies.
A program that works, it can be adapted to all sorts of
work. TPM is not just another “program of the month” and
management is totally committed to it. If everyone involved
in a TPM program does his or her part, an unusually high
rate of return compared to resources invested may be
expected.
Rationale for TPM implementation at KPCL
• Enhancing capacity without additional capital
expenditure
• Eliminating losses and all non-value added activities
• Honing skills and knowledge of employees
• Enhancing Customer orientation
• Creation of culture of “I operate, I shall maintain”
Total Productivity Management yields zero break down and
defects, thereby progressing on the path to zero accidents,
increase in production by 30% minimum and reduced
manufacturing cost by 20% at the very least. To remain
competitive in today’s global market place a company
needs a way to maintain its production machinery in top
condition…. and TPM is the way to do it.
TPM is of critical concern for Senior Management, where,
emphasis is on ‘equipment consciousness’ and ‘shopfloor
approach’ to solving problems.
TPM ensures that each machine runs well without any
unscheduled downtime and operates at designed speed,
with no idling / minor stoppages; and that no defective
part is manufactured ever. That each machine runs with
minimum start-up, set-up and adjustment losses.
• Establishing and maintaining standardized methods for
equipment diagnosis, early detection of abnormalities,
spare parts management, parts replacement procedures
and information system to record equipment histories
• This calls for minimizing equipment deterioration; for
innovative designs to upgrade its performance as well
as incorporate all types of maintenance (breakdown /
preventive / productive / condition / monitoring / MP)
In most workshops, the stance taken in case of breakdowns,
quality defects and rework are always someone else’s
fault; the attitude manifests ‘I operate, you fix’ or ‘I fix,
you design’ or again, ‘I design, you operate’
This proves to be a major hurdle. Breakdowns, Accidents
and Defects DO NOT just HAPPEN – each is traceable to a
root cause. The approach we should have is that we are all
responsible for our equipment.
TPM yields intangible benefits as well. A survey of operations
and maintenance personnel has shown an enthusiastic
response to implementation of TPM. No wonder.
It improves teamwork and makes work interesting and
easier; it builds ownership for equipment; Improves product
quality; and Reduces / eliminates waste.
The Internal bore grinding m/c (10/14) was taken up as a
Manager’s Model m/c in TRM division. TPM implementation
began here from 15th April. 2012. Results of this activity are
encouraging and we commit that we will implement TPM in
entire TRM division.

Continual Improvement – Way
of Life
The word continual (con-tin-u-al) is a Latin word and it
means happening without interruption or happening again
and again within short span of time. And dictionary meaning
of improvement is an act or process of making something
better or valuable. When we combine both the words, the
meaning is very powerful.
Word improvement begins with “I”. None of us is perfect
and there is always a room for improvement. Look at our
office bag, wallet, office table. The list is long. There will
always be possibilities of rearranging; removing; recycling,
replenishing. Today, we have a challenge of energy
and pollution. Can we improve our fuel consumption?
Can we look at reducing paper wastage? We can write
down numerous ways to improve. We constantly have to
remember “I” can do it. The process of improvement is
not like a onetime project. This is an ongoing continuous
process. It simplifies our life - rather it fixes some of the
challenges we are facing. This certainly adds value to our
life. Human life is enriched through improvements in day to
day living. If mankind had not improved we probably could
have remained as Stone Age man. Continuous process of
change resulted into the progress made so far.
Changing tastes of human beings resulted into
improvements and innovations. Just to give an example,
today we all listen music on mobile phone or ipod which
probably twenty years ago a tape recorder was used and
prior that a gramophone was used. First it was listening to
music; then came an era of clarity of songs; then need was
to listen music on compact player and so on. Improvements
lead to innovations in every walk of life.
Kim Collins says, “Strive for improvement rather than
perfection.” Need has to be for changing the current state
rather than planning for the perfect state. Lot of times we
tend to plan a lot and in our endeavor to make best plan
we keep on modifying the same. Rather we should try and
take the first step of improvement. That first step is more
important as it gives joy of achievement. This we come
across in everyday life.
Improvements bring to surface our creative capabilities.
Man is gifted with intelligence and creativity. This gets
demonstrated through various developments in the field
of arts and science. Small or breakthrough improvement
shows our pursuit for using these mental faculties. All of us
since birth have this gift; we should try and utilize the same.
Remember every human being has this gift and we just
have to open the window and the wind of improvements
start flowing in.
Improvements give us opportunity for experimentation and
learning. When we experiment we try number of ideas.
We find numerous ways of changing. We explore different
directions. This makes us more confident and learned
person in the area we work. After lot of experiments, when
electric bulb was invented by Thomas Edison, he said
“Today I discovered 99 ways of not making a bulb.”
Long ago job used to be work allotted to an individual.
In modern day system – job is defined as summation of
work and improvement. Rate of improvements; improve
COVER STORY
the efficiency of the work. This helps the management in
identifying whether an individual is adding value to work or
just managing the work. We have to find ways to improve
our day to day work and make it more exciting. Other side of
the story is management should encourage improvements
and create an atmosphere for improvements.
Change is inevitable. If we don’t, someone else will. In
competitive world we need to bring in changes rapidly.
Rate of improvements keep us competitive. This can be
measured in lot of ways. We all need to add value and bring
about the changes in what we do, what we make, what
we offer, how we offer, when we offer. Change breaks the
monotony.
At KPCL, we all should join the journey of excellence in
making our company a great company!!

KPC – Document Tracking
Can you recall the struggles you were required to go
through, while trying to locate the documents in a project
or the time it used to take to find out the stage up to which
the project is implemented or the person who is delaying
the project?
Thanks to the vision of Ramesh Sahu (R&E Head, ACR
Ref and Marine), these are now the things of the past. Our
KPCL-IT department has developed and implemented a
software application that gives solutions to all such hassles
by effectively supervising and monitoring the documents
related to projects.
The all-encompassing application for tracking documents
aptly titled KPC-Document. Tracking is up and running on
APEX application of ORACLE. The application is currently
in use by ACR Project Divisions i.e. Ref/Marine and Process
Gas. The same will be further horizontally deployed for
ACD and TRM. The application is user friendly and useful
in exactly pinpointing the status of the document and at
what stage the project / order execution has progressed.
The application also generates MIS reports which can be
exported to MS-EXCEL, for immediate usage. The KPC-
Document Tracking application also generates e-mail
alerts at various stages. The application can be used for
multiple parties linked to a single project / order. Data entry
is simple with drop-down menus guiding user in a step
by step process with clear indication of assignment to a
particular employee who will be handling the document
and the time frame assigned to him. Similarly, the time
frame for obtaining customer’s consent has also been built
in. Managers who want to track the document can view the
stage of progress by entering the document view tab and
extracting the status by way of MIS reports in Excel. There
is also a constant effort to improve the application based
on feedback received from the users.

A Leap Towards
Water Conservation !
In our endeavour to conserve fast depleting non-renewable
resources, we have also taken upon ourselves a stringent
task of conserving water, an elixir of life.
We had introduced ‘Drip Irrigation System’ for watering
the garden at various points like our main gate, exteriors
of administrative building and the Canteen. Auto Flush
Systems have been installed in toilets at AC & R, Nalanda
Training Centre and administrative building to curtail excess
use or wastage of water. A Preventive Maintenance system
has been put in place to monitor and curtail losses due to
leakages at these places.
Wastage of water through overhead water tanks was also
one of the concerns at KPCL. To prevent this wastage,
we have installed automatic Water Level Controllers at
Canteen, AC & R / ISD, Materials and CNC building for
overhead water tanks. We also installed 20 new Water
Cooler-cum-Purifiers at various places in the plant to avoid
stock of water and excess use of electricity for the cooling
system.
In order to reduce water consumption due to major leakages
at some of the specific places in KPCL, we have replaced
old pipelines with new GI pipes of various lengths and
diameters at the Pump House, Paint Booth and Foundry
near Compressor House.
We have a system of recycling used water through our
Effluent Treatment Plant. In 2008-09, we used 7488 cubic
meter recycled water for the maintenance of our evergreen
gardens. This in itself is a major step towards conserving our
precious resources. Our efforts towards water conservation
got reflected last year in reduction of PMC water usage
from 10019 kl to 8245 kl.
Some plans are on the anvil for the year 2009-10 viz. –
• Reducing 20% usage of water provided by PMC by using
water from borewells for Testing and Toilets.
• Using more recycled water from ETP for gardening.
• Extending the network of Drip Irrigation at various
locations in the plant.
• Water Audit is planned in May 2009 which is to be done
by CII. This will enable us to take furthermore preventive
measures to curtail wastage of water.

FEATHER IN OUR CAP
ENCON Awards for Innovative Projects
KPCL recently received two prestigious ENCON Awards for its various energy conservation projects implemented. Use
of Gasher Cutter in Hobbing operation fetched us Certificate of Excellence for ‘Best Innovative Project’ and other for 'First
Runnerup Performance in Energy Conservation' in Large Manufacturing Unit category. Following is the brief information on
these projects –
• Cycle time reduction using Gasher Cutter technology results in more opportunities in energy conservation, productivity
and OTD index improvement and reduction in losses.
Old conventional hobbing machines were taking lot of time and manpower to complete the gear jobs. Implementation of
Gasher Cutter technology enabled us to double the production with the use of only two CNC Hobbing machines instead of
seven machines earlier.
Total project cost was ` 38.5 Lac and achieved net annual saving of ` 71.24 Lac with a payback period of less than a year.
Energy saved was 20,966 kWh/ year and with a very low maintenance cost.
• The 'First Runner-up Performance in Energy Conservation' in Large Manufacturing Unit category for various projects
implemented during the year 2011-12. Total 23 projects were implemented by investing ` 68.2 Lac. The resulting benefits
were energy saving of 5,79,112 kWh/annum and ` 103.15/annum.
