CHAPTER- 1
1.1 INDUSTRY INTRODUCTION
Earlier the cargo was moving in bulk and in big vessel, any cargo that was less than the capacity of the vessel faced the problem and thus the idea and emergence of containerization came into existence. The factors that lead to the need of containerization are as follows.

Time
Cost
Security
These factors like time cost and security has become the main reasons for traders to shift towards containerization. Today the mode of containerization has become a great boon for small and big businesses. Moreover many smaller countries which were not known earlier have started emerging as major players in the international trade.

As we know that the sea has been playing a very major role in foreign trade. Today it seems impossible to imagine International trade without Marine means. As sea being the mode, the moderators of the sea are:-
Ports
Exporters
Importers
Financers
Shipping lines
Stevedores
Clearing and forward agents
Customs House Agents
Container terminals
Container agents
Container freight stations
Inland container depots
The role and Importance of the moderators:
Ports
Ports play a very important role in the international trade. It helps the shipper and the consigners load and unload the cargo they wish to and from the vessel in which the cargo comes. It is the harbor having facilities for vessels to moor and load or discharge. Ever since trade began, ports have been playing the major part as without which the country’s development is at stake.
Ports are of two Kinds:
Natural ports
Man made ports. The port at Visakhapatnam is a natural one.

Exporters
Exporters are the shippers. These exporters are the ones who either produce or procure goods which have to be shipped to other country where another trader is waiting for the cargo. He shipper and the trader have an agreement in which the shipper agrees to send the cargo in exchange of monetary terms. Usually exporters are considered to be the main agents in the development as they are the ones who earn the foreign exchange for the country. It is said that those countries which are more into exports are considered to be major players in International trade.
The Exporters of two types:
Manufacturing Exporters: They are the ones who export the goods produced by them.

Merchant Exporters: They are the ones who procure from small manufacturers and export them as a consignor.

Importers
Importers are the consignee. The importer is the one to whom the shipper ships the goods in return of monetary terms. The goods that come from other nation are called as imports.

The imports are done for two causes:
For manufacturing export related goods:
These are the goods like raw materials of capital goods which are used to produce the exportable goods.

Lack of goods:
Due to the lack of goods in the country, his importer imports goods either for manufacturing or for trade purpose, imports are considered as cost components as they reduce the Foreign Exchange Balance.

Financers
It is very essential for the import or export to pass smoothly without any financial hindrances. The financer plays a very important role for exporting either produced or procured goods. Similar in case for the importing.Banks are the main players as financers. They act as:
Creditors
Negotiators in case of LC’s(Letter of Credit)
Help the importers in providing Foreign Exchange.

Acts as Third Party
Shipping Lines:
The shipping lines are either vessel owners or a vessel operating agent who takes care of the vessel operation on commission basis. The more the vessel the less will be the ocean freight, they charge freight from traders basing on the incoterms.Inco terms are a set of uniform rules codifying the interpretation of trade terms defining the rights and obligations of both buyer and seller in an international transaction.

Stevedores:
They are the service providers. Stevedores are the persons/firm who discharges/loads the cargo into/form the vessels by deploying the dock labor Board employees in the dock area.

Customs:
Customs is the government organization that guards the foreign trade. It is a body that safe guards the interest of the country and checks both the cargo coming in and going out of the port. The main duty of the customs is to ensure that no illegal practices are going which may bring loss to the country or harmful for the people and for the survival of the country.

Clearing and forwarding Agents:
Clearing and Forwarding agents are the agents who choose the shipping lines. Negotiate with the shipping lines. Stuff the cargo, gets the shipping bill. And many more pretty procedures involved in exporting or importing. The traders usually assign all these works to these agents as they are quite painful. Thus clearing and forwarding agents takes care of the whole process and sometimes acts as both stevedores and Customs House Agent.

Container Terminal
Earlier cargo which was moving in break bulk has discovered a need for more safe and cost efficiency and this resulted into containerization. The job which the ports did earlier is now being privatized to attain more perfection Vizag ports outer harbor has been given on BOT basis. The Container Terminal exclusively handles the containers; their business is loading and unloading of container to /from yard to/ from vessel.

Container Agents
The Shipper and consignee usually do not own the containers in which the goods are stuffed. The people who lend the containers to the traders for rent are the container agents. The Terminals are directly related to them as the expenses at the terminal are charged to them.

Container Freight Station
These are the places where the stuffing and de stuffing of the cargo into the container takes places also the packing of the cargo take place here only. The Freight stations are equipped with huge Warehouses where the cargo is stored before the stuffing takes place and after the de stuffing takes place.

Inland Container Depots
Also known as the Inland Clearance Depots, these are the inland locations where the cargo, particularly containerized, is cleared by customs and this Government body. The depots have railway linkage to the port, the stuffing and de stuffing also takes place here. Usually the container depots are at places where port service is not available as the place would have been land locked. India presently have 15% ICD’s located in all major cities.

Built Operate Transfer System
Andhra Pradesh was amongst the first maritime states in 1994-95 to recognize the imperative need for increased port infrastructure and the central role that the private sector would be required to play in developing the same. The port privatization in Andhra Pradesh has been based in Build – Operate- Share – Transfer (BOST) basis.

The Salient Features of the BOTS are:
30 years concession period which can be extended by 2 more spells of 10 years each.

In – Operated Period: 5 Years
Concession agreement on BOST (Build, Operate, Share, and Transfer) or BOMST (Build, Operate, Maintain, Share and Transfer) basis.

Port Developer to be designated as Conservator for the port under the Indian Posts Act, 1908.

Freedom to fix tariff.

Freedom to set own employee policies.

Sharing of revenue with the government (5% in first five years progressing to 12% in later years).

Government land to be leased. In respect of acquired land, cost of land acquisition to be borne by developer and adjusted against share revenue payable to the government.

In Case of new port, development activity within 30kms, assured exclusively in terms of right of first offer and refusal.

At the end of the concession, immovable assets to be transferred to the government free of cost. Movable assets to revert at a consideration specified in the Concession Agreement.

The mandates were granted through a competitive bidding process coordinated by the consultants to the government. The tender criteria pre-qualified Bidders based on their technical and financial competence and assessed their detailed bids for techno-commercial sufficiency. Final award was driven by an assessment of the project validity and the financial offers made to the government are:
Minimum Guaranteed Revenue Share in Rupees Per Annum(50% weight age)
Percentage of Revenue Share Offered per Annum(30% weight age)
Maximum Investment Proposal in Phase I(20% weight age)
The Visakha Container Terminal Private Limited is also based on BOTS. The terminal pays the royalty to the port per Twenty Foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) it handles and the port charges from the various lines the other expenses like Pilot age, Berthing and Light House Charges. According to the port norms any vessel carrying more than five containers has to divert itself to the terminal. Vizag port gives berthing and pilot age priority to the vessels calling the terminal.

1.3 TOPIC INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO TRAINING NEED ANALYSIS
TRAINING: STRATEGIC FUNCTION OF HR
The HR functioning is changing with time and with this change, the relationship between the training function and other management activity is also changing. The Training and Development activities are now equally important with that of other HR functions. Gone are the days, when training was considered to be futile, waste of time, resources, and money. Now a day, training is an investment because the departments such as, marketing & sales, HR, production, finance, etc. depends on training for its survival. If Training is not considered as a priority or not seen as a vital part in the organization, then it is difficult to accept that such a company has effectively carried out HRM. Training actually provides the opportunity to raise the profile development activities in the organization.
To increase the commitment level of employees and growth in quality movement (concepts of HRM), senior management team is now increasing the role of training. Such concepts of HRM require careful planning as well as greater emphasis on employee development and long term education. Training is now the important tool of Human Resource Management to control the attrition rate because it helps in motivating employees, achieving their professional and personal goals, increasing the level of job satisfaction, etc. As a result training is given on a variety of skill development and covers a multitude of courses.

Training is an organized activity aimed at imparting  information  and/ or instructions to improve the recipient’s performance or to help him or her attain a required level of knowledge or skill.

According to Fllippo: “The act of increasing the skills of an employee for doing a particular Job” can be termed as training
Training is an educational process. People can learn new information, re-learn and reinforce existing knowledge and skills, and most importantly have time to think and consider what new options can help them improve their effectiveness at work. Effective trainings convey relevant and useful information that inform participants and develop skills and behaviors that can be transferred back to the workplace. Training is a technique which properly focuses and direct towards the achievement of particular goals and objectives of the organization. Hence identification of training needs is first and probably the most important step towards the identification of training techniques. The process of identifying training needs is carefully thought out programme that needs to be carried out with sensitivity because success of a training programme may be crucial for the survival of the organization.

TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS: MEANING
The first step in any training program is to determine whether training is needed and, if needed, to specify what that training should accomplish. Mitchell (1993) describes needs analysis as “an examination of the existing need for training within an organization”. In other words, it identifies performance areas or programs within an organization where training should be applied. A needs analysis gathers information about present practices and compares these practices to the desired way of doing business. The difference between where you are now and where you want to be defines where a training program should concentrate its effort. This information also establishes a baseline against which training accomplishments can be measured. If you know where you started, it is easier to determine if your training has been effective. A needs analysis may identify more than one training need. These needs should be prioritized, and either placed into a formal training plan, or form a data base for future training. Training Need is utilized to identify what training workshops or activities should be provided to employees to improve their work productivity. Focus should be placed on needs as opposed to desires.
TRAINING NEEDS 3 LEVELS

1. ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL
Training need analysis at organizational level focuses on strategic planning, business need, and goals. It starts with the assessment of internal environment of the organization such as, procedures, structures, policies, strengths, and weaknesses and external environment such as opportunitiesandthreats.After doing the SWOT analysis, weaknesses can be dealt with the training interventions, while strengths can further be strengthened with continued training. Threats can be reduced by identifying the areas where training is required. And, opportunities can be exploitedby balancing cost. For this approach to be successful, the HR department of the company requires to be involved in strategic planning. In this planning, HR develops strategies to be sure that the employees in the organization have the required Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes (KSAs) based on the future KSAs requirements at each level.

2. INDIVIDUAL LEVEL
Training need analysis at individual level focuses on each and every individual in the organization. At this level, the organization checks whether an employee is performing at desired level or the performance is below expectation. If the difference between the expected performance and actual performance comes out to be positive, then certainly there is a need for training. However, individual competence can also be linked to individual need. The methods that are used to analyze the individual need are:
Appraisal and performance review
Peer appraisal
Competency assessments
Subordinate appraisal
Client feedback
Customer feedback
Self-assessment or self-appraisal
3. OPERATIONAL LEVEL
Training Need analysis at operational level focuses on the work that is being assigned to the employees. The job analyst gathers the information on whether the job is clearly understood by an employee or not. He gathers this information through technical interview, observation, psychological test; questionnaires asking the closed ended as well as open ended questions, etc. Today, jobs are dynamic and keep changing over the time. Employees need to prepare for these changes. The job analyst also gathers information on the tasks needs to be done plus the tasks that will be required in the future.Based on the information collected, training Need analysis (TNA) is done.

ETHICAL ISSUES
Training needs analyses involve two major ethical challenges. The first of these relates tosenior management support for the results of the needs analysis and direction of resources accordingly. Certain supervisors assume what the training needs of their staff are regardless of the investigation results. They place no value on the objective nature of the analysis process. The second ethical challenge for training needs analyses relates to the objective nature of the process, which is specifically ensured by the confidentiality of the results obtained. To resolve these ethical issues, the person responsible for carrying out the needs analysis must, at the outset of their initiative, promote to senior management the value of an objective training needs analysis based on use of standardized and impartial measurements of the knowledge and skills involved. In an ethical process, administration, analysis and interpretation of the data must be completely independent of the analyst’s subjective judgments.

Therefore, the person carrying out the training needs analysis must provide mechanisms to ensure confidentiality of the data collected and advise respondents that such is the case before beginning data collection.

NECESSARY TO TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS
The training needs analysis is a vital phase in planning training that will successfully close
the gap between the actual and desired situations. It ensures that the right remedy is applied to the right problem. Since limited budgets are available for training, the preferred areas of training must be those ensuring that the anticipated outcome will be achieved, as well as maximum gains for the professionals and their organization.

FACTORS INFLUENCING TRAINING NEEDS
Organizations are complex and dynamic in nature and their effectiveness depends on number of factors. Complexity of organization is again a multifaceted implication of various factors being determined by various environmental factors. Hence the nature of complexity of a given organization needs to be evaluated before determining its training needs. Some of the factors that increase complexity are being discussed keeping in view that all are not determinants of complexity for all organization. Technology in the computer age is being upgraded frequently and hence is the most important factors in increasing the complexity of an organization, structurally as well as behaviorally. Another important factor that needs to be taken into consideration is concerned with social changes that are taking place in the new social environment.The other factor that has influenced training needs is related the new role that the government are being asked to play. The governments are being asked to play sensitive role of controlling the business ethical activities on one hand and safeguarding the interests of consumer on the other. In the era of privatization and globalization. Also the factor that has influenced the training needs is the emerging competitive market Conditions.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING
The significance and value of training has long been recognized. Consider the popular and often repeated quotation, “Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a person to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” This simple but profound saying is attributed to the wisdom of Confusius who lived in the 5th century BC. Given today’s business climate and the exponential growth in technology with its effect on the economy and society at large, the need for training is more pronounced than ever. Training, in the most simplistic definition, is an activity that changes people’s behavior. Increased productivity is often said to be the most important reason for training. But it is only one of the benefits. Training is essential not only to increase productivity but also to motivate and inspire workers by letting them know how important their jobs are and giving them all the information they need to perform those jobs (Anonymous, 1998). McNamara (n.d.) lists the following as general benefits from employee training:
• increased job satisfaction and morale
• increased motivation
• increased efficiencies in processes, resulting in financial gain
• increased capacity to adopt new technologies and methods
• increased innovation in strategies and products
• reduced employee turnover
The training needs analysis must be carried out before training activities are organized, since it guarantees the success of those activities. It ensures synergy among individual learning needs and the quest for effectiveness, job performance, and strategic organizational development.In fact, the training needs analysis outcome is expressed not in the form of a training policy or program, but a database defining the measured training needs of the population(s) under review. This database will provide the foundation for development of the training
specificationTraining needs assessment that gives you a consensus of what skills is Important to Job Performance.  Not just from the perspective of the job incumbents, but their managers as well.  It will tell you what skills are important at different levels and functional groups in the organization.

Training needs assessment that gives you a consensus of which of those critical skills are in Need of Training.  Some think this is the same as what’s important.  There is, and should be, significant overlap between what is important and what is in need of training.  But in some cases, especially in organizations that train well and often, people have already received extensive training in the most important skills.  In other situations, people want training in skills that aren’t critical to strategy, but which are recognized or rewarded in their organization.

A needs assessment that gives you a consensus of what skills are actually aligned with strategy in the way the organization Rewards.  Without alignment of rewards and incentives, your training may succeed, but the skills will not be supported by the workplace when the training is over.  The answers to this question help you determine when to train, and when to wait until organizational reward and support systems are in place for the new skills.

An assessment that tells you whether people are answering honestly or “fudging”.  The Scaled Comparison cannot be unobtrusively manipulated, so decision makers are alerted to results that look plausible but can’t be trusted.  The Scaled Comparison can distinguish between manipulation and simple confusion about what the questions or skills mean.

A training tool that is a completely custom product.  It will ask the questions you want to ask, about the skills you want to study, using language your people will recognize as unique to your organization or industry.

An assessment that gives you readable, “no statistics necessary” reports. 
The reports that give decision makers understandable views of the results, with no jargon or numerical mumbo-jumbo.

TYPES OF TRAINING NEEDS
The need is defined as the gap between the existing and the desired situation. In other words, it refers to what is indispensable, or at least valuable, to the organization or to individuals for the purpose of achieving an evaluated, appropriate objective..Training needs may be individual or collective.

A collective need is determined in terms of the lowest common denominator of individual needs. This is the basis for development of the future training activity. The greater the homogeneity of the group, the easier it will be to determine the collective needs.

NORMATIVE NEEDS
Normative needs are defined by expert members of recognized professional associations or Research centers who continuously develop science and technology and therefore base themselves on the need to update skills based on progress achieved in the research field. The new elements are often introduced in the form of practice guides, guidelines and protocols, such as new standards and new methods. Any gap between actual practices and the new standard defined by the experts is recognized as the normative need of the individual professional or the group.

ORGANIZATIONAL NEEDS
Organizational training needs are intrinsically related to the role of the organization or the institution responsible for the educational activity. Organizational skills are those that the organization considers essential for its various groups of professionals to have in order to carry out the mission it has assumed.

COMPARATIVE NEEDS
Comparative needs represent the gaps observed between a group or individuals when they
are mutually compared in which the studied behaviours are taking place.

DEMONSTRATED NEEDS
Demonstrated needs arise from the measured gap between the skills of a professional and
those recommended by specialists. These needs may be revealed by compiling responses to
self-assessment questionnaires, appraisals by peers, or reports of institutional boards or
committees working to improve overall quality.

FELT NEEDS
Felt needs consist of the gap between the skills that a professional believes that they possess and those they wish to have. In consequence of a process of self-criticism, theindividual personally determines their needs based on their work experience. The felt needs therefore emerge from the individual’s frame of reference, which is itself formed by thatindividual’s knowledge, experience and understanding of the circumstances. This level of analysis is limited by the fact that professionals are unable to perceive the need forsomething when they are unaware of its existence or necessity
Knowledge Elements:
What the professional must know to perform their work adequately.

Ability
What the professional must know how to employ, in order to perform their work and use their knowledge elements adequately. Abilities are gained gradually through practice or other types of experience.

Attitudes
The behavior that the professional must adopt to be able to meet the job requirements
NEED FOR THE STUDY
This study helps to understand present conditions of training programs conducted in the company and how effective the programs are. Employee’s expectations are known and understood well, it also provides the result of employee’s willingness towards training programs. Company and all individual differ in their ability to translate their creative talent into results, organization also differ in their ability to translate the talent of their member into new product, processes or services.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Training and Development in the Organization
Training is given on four basic grounds:
New candidates who join an organization are given training. This training familiarizes them with the organizational mission, vision, rules and regulations and the working conditions.

The existing employees are trained to refresh and enhance their knowledge
If any updating and amendments take place in technology, training is given to cope up with those changes. For instance, purchasing new equipment, changes in technique of production, computer impartment. The employees are trained about use of new equipment’s and work methods.

When promotion and career growth becomes important. Training is given so that employees are prepared to share the responsibilities of the higher level job.

Techniques of Training:
There are many techniques of training which are broadly classified in two ways:
On-the-job – Employee training at the place of work while he or she is doing the actualjob. Usually a professional trainer (or sometimes an experienced employee) serves as the course instructor usinghands-ontraining often supported by formal classroom training.

Off –the- job – Employee training at a site away from the actual work environment. It often utilizes lectures, case studies, role playing, simulation, etc.
Identification of training needs
Before implementing a training program it is necessary to identify the need of training. Training needs differ from person to person in any organization/company and it is important to match their needs with the organization/company’s needs.

Training is a specialized function; hence trainer must know exactly what is required from the training program in accordance to the identified tools framework techniques processes are identified in designing and implementing efficient effective timely and productive training program for those who require it.
Training needs also determine the nature of training program. Formulation of training program includes those factors that are related to the evaluation of the program in terms of techniques and skills can be properly considered.

Any training program must take into consideration three fundamental behavioral aspects: Organization, people, and environment as far as organization are concerned their survival rests on a certain minimum achievement of goals and objectives which are pre-defined to customer’s owners. Employees. Etc. all these factors are continuously interacting with the organization whose objectives and goals have been formulated so to benefit the members of the organization intermittently
