The techniques of management, of Small Scale industries have not so far been brought out so systematically as in this volume A handy volume like the one before us is therefore, bound to be of immense value to small entrepreneurs writes former Hon. Mr. R. Venkataraman, Member, Planning Commission (Industries), in his Foreword to this Book. The salient feature of this book is that the principles of much needed technology for industries in general, and small manufacturing units in particular are put in ONE SINGLE VOLUME. The modern technique of Break-even-Analysis which is indispensable for manufacturing units, is variously illustrated in a simple manner. Besides, Price Determination; Profit-Analysis; Modem Techniques of Quality-Control; Product-Planning; Purchase Policy; Market-Survey; Work Study ; Productivity ; Inventory Control; Machine Utilisation; and Material Handling; are suitably explained. And the principle of costing, Budgetary Control; Marginal Costing; Cost Control; Profit Planning; and Labour Management, are explained in an understandable manner. Large and medium scale industries draw on the expertise in different fields of production but, the small industrialists are obliged to attend to practically all the areas of production, marketing, planning, labour-handling, public relation etc., by themselves. The techniques high-lighted in this volume aim to be the consultant for small entrepreneurs. The basic technological points featured in brevity are more elaborative in character, to the prudent small entrepreneurs. The various aspects of business and industrial activities embosomed in this single volume are the quintessence of industries, irrespective of their sizes.
