GS RADIATORS:-
Radiator
Radiator: a part of the cooling system in a liquid-cooling engine, removing excess
heat from the engine and dissipating it into the atmosphere.
The radiator is important in internal engines because the engine cannot run properly
when it is overheated. At high enough Temperatures, oil lubricating the engine’s
moving parts breaks down and burns away. Eventually some of those parts jam or
melt and engine stops running.
A radiator works on the principal that that the heat flows from the hottest region to
the coolest region, and heat in any substance radiator into cooler air surrounding it.
Most cars and trucks use a liquid to transfer heat away from the engine. Engines
used in lawn mowers, chain saws, airplanes, most motorcycle, and some cars rely
only on the transfer of heat from metal to the air. They are calledair –cooledengines.
26. 26
In liquid –cooledengines, a coolant – usually a mixture of water and chemicals –
circulates through hollow chambers that surround the engine’s cylinders. Heat
produced by burning fuel is transferred from the metal into the coolant. A pump
circulates coolant through the engine to the radiator. Hot coolant arrives at the
radiator, which exposes the coolant to cooler metal and lowers its temperature.
Afterwards, the coolant is pumped through the engine to repeat the cycle.
In a down – flow radiator, the tubes run vertically. In a cross – flow radiator, the
tubes run horizontally, which generally allows for longer tubes and increased heat
transfer. Some radiators have zigzag pattern of tubes to increase their length and
surface area. Making the walls of the tubes as thin as possible improves efficiency
by reducing the distance heat must travel through metal to air. Also some metals
transfer heat better than others.
Thin metal fins support the tubes and also help transfer heat to the air by increasing
surface area, which increase the efficiency of the radiator. The cooling system
normally includes a fan to draw air past the tubes. The fan is important when the
engine is running and generating heat but the car isn’t moving quickly and causing
air to flow past the fins.
27. 27
CLASSIFICATION OF RADIATORS:-
BASIC CONSTRUCTION:-
1. Vertical Flow:
Radiators which have their cores mounted in vertical position so that the hot engine coolant
moves from upper tank, vertically downwards through the core, and finally to the lower
Vertical Flow Radiators.
2. Cross Flow:
Radiators having their cores mounted in horizontal position so that the hot engine coolant
moves from side tank to the opposite side tank, depending on design, In this type of
radiator, the filler well in most cases is in the side tank.
CONSTRUCTION OF CORES:-
1. Gill type radiators core:
The Gill type radiator core has the advantage of fewer soldered joints and is therefore a
stronger construction as compared to pack type core.
2. Pack type radiator core:
It provides much larger surface area for heat radiation for the same size of the core, in other
words it is more efficient. Other is the ease of core assembly of the pack type. Therefore it
is much easier to manufacture Pack type cores as compared to Gill type cores.

PRICING STRATEGIES OF G.S. RADIATORS:-
Price of the G.S. Radiators Firm depends upon the cost of raw material, in
such a manner that with increase in the cost of raw material there will be
increase in the market price of the machinery. But with a decrease in the raw
material the price of the machine will automatically proportion.
Laborcostputs great effect on the increase and decreaseofthe productofG.S.
Radiators because they use to have the very skilled labor in the factory. So
that it will conclude a large portion of costof the productionof the products.
Inflating and deflation of the market scenario influences in most of the
industries and semi industrial. They use to change their pricing strategy
according to the market scenario. So that different strategies are very helpful
to them to survive in the market well.
Along with the abovethe competitors are also in great influence on the pricing
strategy of the G.S. Radiators because the customeris very much aware about
the market rate of all the other industries.
38. 38
GS RADIATORS HAS TWO MAIN PRICING POLOCIES:-
PRICE ADJUSTMENT STRATEGIES:-
GeographicalPricing:
A firm decides how to price its products to consumer in different parts of the
country. They use to charge the different price rates from the different
customers belonging to different areas of the country. Areas like Gujrat,
Bangalore, Gurgaon, Noida, and Ludhiana are the core area of the G.S.
Radiators.
Skimming Price Policy sets highest price to
first profit from price in elastic customer
then successfully lowering the price often
under the increasing competition that is
called ‘Skim the cream’ This means to say
that to have an high profit at the most groom
period So that there will be an extra income
for to compete in the competition in the near
future and to cover the risk and
uncertainties.
• Skimming
Price Policy
The Penetration Price Policy is a policy
where the firm will have low price first
and try to increase their market share at
the most by increasing the volume of
their product sales. They use to compete
to competitors by most reasonable price.
But the G.S. Radiators are the
organization where there is a less chance
of decrease in the price tag of their
machinery tools.
• Penetration
Price Policy
39. 39
DiscountPricing and Allowances:
Discounts in the machinery tools are reduction from final selling price that are
available to different channel members and final consumer for performing
different functions.
It can be in a following ways.
1. Trade Discounts.
2. Cash Discounts
3. Quantity Discounts
4. Seasonal Discounts
5. Allowances.
Customer Segment Pricing:
In this type customer pays different prices for the same machinery tool.
LocationPricing:
Different Location are price differently even though the cost of the offering
each location is the same.
Time Pricing:
In this pricing strategy the firm used to charge a price differently in the
delivery period of the machinery to the consumer if the consumer wants its
machine most in the earlear period he has to pay high for it. In the same way
if there is a delay in the delivery of the ordered machine their may bea chances
of discounts and other cash allowances.
40. 40
Odd Pricing:
The G.S. Radiators firm is a firm who is not very much aware about the odd
pricing of the products them does’ not believe in the odd pricing.
G.S. Radiators is type of firm who is not very much belonging to a singly
pricing strategy. They believe that there should be a different price strategy
for the different consumer to the different areas at the different market
scenario. To some extent they use to have a penetration price policy because
there are 300 competitors are standing in the Ludhiana only and 22 to 30 are
such type of competitors who are producing the products at their quality
product level.
So, that the manager of the firm used different price strategies in a different
period after knowing the competitors pricing. For this I have done a
comparison of same segment competitors like Sandan, Telco, Banco and
Cougar. These are the firms which are very much aware about the customer
need and satisfaction. They often use to producetheir productby an advance
technology which will reduce their costof the production and also helpful to
attract the more and more customers.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SUBJECT
A marketing strategy is a process thatcanallow an organization to concentrate
its limited resources onthe greatest opportunities to increase sales and achieve

develops an understanding of the market and the various opportunities it
offers, the competition and the market segments or target markets the
company wishes to pursue. Marketing strategy is the complete and
unbeatable plan, designed specifically for attaining the marketing
objectives of the firm/business unit. The marketing objectives

liquid and the ability to meet its current liabilities in time. The Ideal quick
ration is 1:1, Company Quick ratio is less than the ideal ratio. So, The Quick
ratio is increased because the sundry debtors are increased due to the
increase in the corporatetax and for that the provision created is also
increased. So, the ratio is also increased from 2011 and the ration is less than

The organizational study enables me to gather knowledge regarding the
working of an organization. The study has brought light to know the
organization as a whole. Different products and efficiency in working for
attaining of a common goal.
I have been able to understand the activities and strategies of G.S.
Radiators their way of working and their way of approaching the customers
and the importance of Advertising, i.e. how beneficial is the advertising for
any firm to communicate about their offers and events to the consumers. The
results of the survey proved to be encouraging.
The respondents were very positive in providing the information about
how GS. Radiators has to go for promotion and why do they go for G.S.
Radiators and what measures G.S. Radiators has to take in improving the
service to their customers, Though there are many competitors in the market
for this segment,
The company G.S. Radiators is doing well by satisfying its customers by
having good relationship with them and. I offer my best wishes for the
same and hope that my work will be of some use for the company
effectiveness.

GS Radiators should also come up with aluminum based radiators. As
the market share for these is increasing, it is better to be equipped with
both the segments.
A market survey should be conducted every quarter.
Local mechanics should be given some kind of incentive or benefit, so
as to bring in more business.
They can increase the dealer network so that it helps to increase the
market share.
They can also offer some sort of discount to the dealer.
The firm should have a special type of workers who are always
prepared for the service to the customer after sales because there is a
chance of breakdown of machinery and better service will always
makes and better satisfaction.
The percentage spent on advertising per annum should increase from
the present percentage. Advertisements could be given via radio,
television, newspaper or by way of hoardings.
