FINDINGS

KMML is the Indias first and only manufacturing ofrutile grade titanium dioxide.so, it is a monopolisticcompany fully controlled by the state government

A complex organization structure does exist in KMML.

This leads to excessive delays in decision making andrequires lot of paper work

Since there is an absence of strong facilities for storingthe chlorine gas which is liberated in the oxide plant aswell as chlorination plant. If any one of them break

down, the entire production work is stop. KMML has at present a work force of nearly 2000

people. So they have excess of work force.


23/24

Suggestions

By the end of 2010 ,there will be a highlycompetitive situation when the import duty ontitanium dioxide pigment is reduced to zeropercentage.

In the era high competition, flexible organizationstructure suits the situation than an organizationwith a complex type of structure. By reducing thelevels in the organization, quick decisions can be

taken without much delay A chlorine storage plant will help company to

reduce the breakdown in the production area
