 an increase of Rs.65.85 crpres registering a growth of 1.85% over the

 in profit was mainly on account of implementation of wage revision for

 exerted pressure on margins. However, Company has initiated steps to
 maximize the profits.

 QUALITY
 
 The year 2010-11 was observed as Year of Quality wherein necessary
 drive was undertaken to strengthen the ''quality team'', to focus on
 quality, under the changed business environment and work towards
 building world class equipment so that the Company''s ''Vision'' of
 becoming ''Global market leader'' is achieved. The measures taken up
 during the year are briefed below:
 
 a.  Quality Management System:
 
 All manufacturing divisions have been updated, to J§O9001-2008 Quality
 Management System (QMS) certification.  KGF, Bangalore and Mysore
 Complexes are certified for ISO14001-2004 Environmental Management
 System (EMS). Also, the Bangalore Complex is certified for BS OHSAS
 18001-2007 Integrated Management System. Having diversified into

 review of the existing Quality Management System followed by Divisions,
 and to submit the recommendations. Task force teams have been formed to
 take forward and ensure effective implementation of the recommendations
 made by NIQR.
 
 b.  Quality Improvement:
 
 To enhance the existing quality level, deviation approval system was
 withdrawn at divisional level thus avoiding re-works/ deviations at
 divisions. Professional expertise are being sought for guidance to
 analyze the bottleneck areas and to assure quality in critical areas
 like welding, fabrication, painting, oil testing, etc.
 
 Concept of 5S, Kaizen and Quality Circles are practiced at grass root
 level throughout the Company to bring in continual improvements in
 product and process quality. To motivate the activity, our annual event
 ''BEML-Nonimara Award'' Competition is being conducted and the winning

 the Longest & Active Quality Circle. The prize has been awarded after
 the recommendation from the Evaluation Committee of M/s. QCFI, who
 visited KGF Complex for interaction and evaluating the QC team.
 
 c.  Vendor Development:
 
 As vendor supplied items form the major share of the components that go
 into building up of the equipment, utmost care is taken right from the
 inclusion of vendor till clearance of their supplies for further
 assembly. Periodical visits are made and necessary inputs and expert
 guidance in respect of process/system improvements are given to the
 vendors'' right from development stage to ensure quality in their
 supplies. To enhance the overall performance of vendor supplied items,
 the services of third party inspection agencies are engaged for
 carrying out source inspection at vendors'' premises and also to carry
 out surveillance inspection of items received at all Divisions.
 
 To motivate vendors and to make these self-reliable, dedicated vendors
 are identified based on their performance and encouraged by awarding
 Self Certification status for their supplies. Cluster Vendor
 concept - an idea to handhold and transform the vendor as Zero Defect
 supplier is practiced with few identified vendors by giving inputs with
 regard to the non-conformances observed in the supplies made, and
 necessary guidance in the areas covering technological aspects, skill
 improvement and quality initiatives like 5S, Kaizen etc.
 
 d.  Customer Satisfaction:
 
 To ensure higher equipment availability and reliability, ''Task Force''
 comprising of Apex and Action drive teams are formed at KGF and Mysore
 Complexes to address the performance related issues pertaining to
 BH100/BG825/BE1600/BE1000 equipments available in the field. Action
 drive teams visited customers for implementation of improvements in
 BH100/BG825.
 
 Minimum number of test hours have been stipulated for all models of
 Mining & Construction Equipments to take care of any possible errors
 which otherwise would have passed on to field/customer.

 Divisions for inspection and clearance of the Mining & Construction
 equipment at the final stage before despatching it to the customers.
