EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This project report is on Customer Awareness & Perception study on Forbes Campbell
Knitwear products, which is reputed t-shirt manufacturing company. This project was
undertaken by me through the help of HRD department head Mrs.Bharathi.J.Jadhav.
The main objective of my study is to study the customer awareness level and to study
customer perception, attitudes and beliefs of customers towards the CKL products.
Primary data was collected by administrating questionnaire of about 100 respondents.
The questionnaire was specifically framed as per the requirements of the organization.
Direct contact was maid with the respondents at company‘s three outlets, which are
located at different parts of Belgaum city. The respondents were those who visited these
three outlets. Direct personal interview was conducted throughout the project using direct
structured and self-administrated questionnaire. All the analyses and recommendations
are based on the results that have been got after the completion of survey, which is being
undertaken by me at the company‘s three outlets.
My findings from the study are 70% of respondents are aware of Forbes Campbell
Knitwear products, 11% of the respondents perceive that the CKL products are excellent
but 58% of respondents feel the product is good and 84% of people prefer brand name
while purchasing t-shirt. My suggestions are on promotional strategies, the most of the
people are not satisfied with the promotional activities. So company should provide
discounts on bulk purchases. The company should also emphasize on advertisements i.e.
in any media either print or electronic media .This will certainly help the company in
spreading /increasing awareness level and which will help in increasing the sales volume.
The main limitation in this project was that the research was conducted in Belgaum city
only. And sample size was limited 100 only.

And finally I concluded that majority of the people are aware about the company and
most of the people perceived CKL products as good and some of the people are not
satisfied with varieties of products and colors therefore company should focus on these
factors.

INDUSTRY ANALYSES:
The world clothing trade, as per WTO, is around US$ 200 billion while our share has
been aound US$ 5 billion, Recognizing this immense potential for garment exports, the
National Texttile Policy envisges an export of US$ 25 billion by te year 2010. However,
the industry has to make redical improvements in the areas of productivity, service and
quality to be able to exploit this potential. It has to convert its strengths into competative
edge, while it must minimize the impact of weakness hingering its gworth, so as to eneble
it to emerge as an internationally cost and qulaity competative supplier.
The garment industry is a vibrant sector of our economy.it is also major contributor of
forign exchange for the nation,with exports of about us dollar 5 billion during 2001-
2002.the performance of garment export industry in recent year has set an excellent
example for other export sector to emulate. The success of entrepreneurs and industrialist
in the trade has amply demonstrated the importance of sustained effort,commitment and
dynamism to market force.
In the post-quota regime, competition from China, Hong Kong, and other low-cost
countries with huge capacities, will force Indian manufactures to compete on
productivity, quality answer cost, which require not just skill but scale and technology,
To survive the competitive onslaught, size will be a key determinant. The industry will
have to transform its unorganized, small –scale character to become large, organized and
capable of high-cost investments in modern, high-speed equipment.
The garment industry being a small-scale industry, not surprisingly, when India's overall
quota was distributed among exporters, the allotments were skewed in the favour of small
units. Unit the late 1990s, with 80 per cent of garment production coming from small-
scale units and 70 per cent of the quota being distributed on the basis of 'past
performance entitlement' (PPE) manufactures had no reason to expand their operation or
invest in expensive equipment. With the quota system being scrapped from 1 January
2005, leading garment manufactures can now begin consolidating and expanding their
CUSTOMER AWARENESS AND PERCEPTION TOWARDS FORBES CAMPBELL KNITWEAR PRODUCTS AT FORBES CAMPBELL KNITWEAR
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 5
capacities. Even the larger of the existing small-scale export manufactures, freed of the
compulsion to create small satellite units to acquire a larger share of the prized quota, are
now expanding capacities to achieve economies of scale. The garments industry is labour
intensive; it is also subject to highly seasonal demand, and therefore needs flexible labour
laws.
In the meanwhile, another issue that requires resolution is the state of poor infrastructure
in India. Overseas buyers and domestic suppliers all have their own horror tales of
delayed shipments due to the deplorable congestion at Indian ports, the sordid condition
of roads from the manufacturing centers to the shipment points leading to consignments
stranded in broken-down vehicles, traffic choke-up at the numerous octroi collection
centres ... none of which seem as acute in countries with whom India will compete post
quotas. However, weaknesses notwithstanding, the industry is not devoid of significant
strengths. Undeniably, the post-quota global trade era will create a huge opportunity for
the industry. Integrated operations would lead to significant cost savings. India, along
with China, enjoys both horizontal integration (Manufacturing versatility with different
fibres like cotton, PSF, VSF) and vertical integration (Fibre – to – Yarn-to – fabric- to
garments manufacturing to retailing branded products).
India also has an advantage of being the third largest cotton producer, which lends itself
to lower freight cost and shorter lead times. Since the country also produces a variety of
cottons, it provides greater flexibility, to meet varied requirements and arbitrage
opportunities. Labour cost, as a percentage of manufacturing cost in India is already
lower than in China and all India needs is to achieve higher manpower productivity.
Major Indian exporters are already expanding their capacities in order to avail of
economies of scale. Gokaldas Export, India's top garments exporter, has added eight
factories in the past two years - larger and more modern in terms of technology and
infrastructure. Gokaldas now has 41 factories with a workforce of 31,000 – up 30
percent. Orient Craft, with 18,000 people on its rolls, is also adding 0 percent capacity,
with three new factories in 2004 and two in 2005.In India, 95 percent of garments makers
CUSTOMER AWARENESS AND PERCEPTION TOWARDS FORBES CAMPBELL KNITWEAR PRODUCTS AT FORBES CAMPBELL KNITWEAR
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 6
have annual sales of less than Rs. 50 crore; and of the 16,000 export manufacturers, only
around 100 companies are able to cross the Rs. 100 Crore sales level per annum.
The value of Indian garments export was Rs 28,000 crore ($5.4 billion) in the last fiscal.
To achieve exports of $25 billion by 2010, India would have to expand its manufacturing
capacity five-fold; expansion of 30 percent by top players will just not suffice. There is
not denying India is competitive enough and will become even more competitive once
their infrastructures issued are sorted out. China has probably already reached its peak
and further improvements may not be as dramatic, henceforth.
In spite of the Chinese dominance, India has a fair opportunity to grab a substantial stake
in the projected garment market share. According to PHD Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (PHDCCI), post- MFA, India's market share in the US is expected to go up to 15
percent from the present 4 percent. In the EU, the market share increase is expected to be
50 percent –from the current 6 percent to 9 percent. For most buyers China may be the
first choice for many, but India comes a close second. Harnessing China-like strengths of
an integrated textile chain, strong raw material base, an inexpensive and skilled labour
force, availability to legal recourse, strong democratic institutions besides a stable
government and a highly developed fashion industry are strong intangibles in its favour.
Textile and ready-made garments:
Tamil Nadu has etched a name for itself in the manufacture of cotton textile and its
leading position in this area is well known not only in India but the world over. The state
contributes to more than 22% of the contry's exports of cotton yarn and fabrics. The
exports of cotton textile in 1999-2000 was US $ 4.0 billion and it had reached US $ 6.0
billion by the end of 2004-2005 AD USA, UK, Fance and Germany are among the
principal buyers of cotton textile from Tamil Nade. Approximately 22% of India's
exports of ready- made garments oriinate from Tamil Nadu. In actual terms it translates
to around US $ 1.5-2.0 billion of garments being exported from the state, the two main
centres being Chennai (Madras ) and Tirupur.In fact,Tirupur has emerged strongly as a
major industrial township. As a consequences, several important spin –off industries
CUSTOMER AWARENESS AND PERCEPTION TOWARDS FORBES CAMPBELL KNITWEAR PRODUCTS AT FORBES CAMPBELL KNITWEAR
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 7
have emerged inthe neighbouring regions- the textile machinery industry is one such
off-shoot. While Tamil Nadu continues to maintain a commanding position in this
industry,many international corporates, are looking towards the state as a glbal souring
point for readymade garments with an eye on the comparatively low production costs
and high quality of output offered.

Knitting department:
This department is the second step of production where the yarn starts taking a form into
a knitted fabric. The temperature maintained normally is between ―22 to 26‖ degree
Celsius, the machines are set before starting the knitting process. The knitting process
goes on for 24 hours a day comprising of 3 shifts when the operators change.
In knitting department they have circular knitting machines out of which 12 are single
jersey machines and 1 is double jersey machine. The machine diameter is selected as per
the buyer‘s order, which means lower diameter for kids garment and higher diameter for
larger size. The machine stops production automatically when 25 kgs are produced.
Roller take down mechanism is used.
CUSTOMER AWARENESS AND PERCEPTION TOWARDS FORBES CAMPBELL KNITWEAR PRODUCTS AT FORBES CAMPBELL KNITWEAR
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 19
For cuffs and collars they use flat knitting machine, which can knit four yarns at a time or
more, there are 5 flat knitting machines in the company. The company uses programmed
floppies for various ribs. Due to the software present inside the machine, rib designing
can be done in the machine itself. The maximum collar length that can be achieved in this
machine is 50 cms.
Humidification:
The humidification plant is located besides the knitting department to maintain the ideal
temperature and pressure for knitting. The temperature maintained normally is between
22º to 26º. The relative humidity maintained is 65%.
During knitting, a lot of fly and fluff is generated inside the knitting department which
obstructs the knitting process and thereby results in a number of defects in the fabric
knitted. In order to avoid any such problems, the air inside the department needs to be
replaced by fresh air from outside. The humidification plant which supplies fresh air at
the right temperature and humidity, thus helping to maintain the quality of the fabric
CUSTOMER AWARENESS AND PERCEPTION TOWARDS FORBES CAMPBELL KNITWEAR PRODUCTS AT FORBES CAMPBELL KNITWEAR
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 20
knitted and the working environment inside the department carry on this task of
replacement of air.
Batch Preparatory Department:
This department helps the company in taking its foremost step towards maintaining
global quality. Once the fabric is knitted it is brought in the form of rolls to this
adjoining department and sent to dyeing department in form of Batches.
The fabric is unrolled inspect5ed for defects, reversed and batches are made along with
required tapes collars, cuffs and are sent to the dyeing department to be dyed in the same
shades. The batches are marked, labeled before sending to the Dyeing Department.
Though the fabric-unrolling machine has the capacity of unrolling 600 kgs of fabric per
day but based on the order it unrolls approximately only 200 kgs.

Finishing Department
The finishing department is adjacent to the dyeing department and is equipped with all
modern machinery. The fabric, which are dyed are passed on to this department.
Once dyeing is done, the fabric is squeezed to extract the water. For this there are two
machines HYDRO EXTRACTOR of 100 kgs capacity and WEISS SQUEEZING
machine of 200 kgs capacity are used.
The fabric is then passed through the WET SPREADER machine to remove all the ridge
marks. The capacity of this machine is 400 kgs per 1.5 hour, temperature required is 140
degree Celsius. This results in shrinkage ranging between 1cm to 2cm, then fabric
compacting is done on the compacting machine. This is done to remove shrinkage and
set the required GSM of the circular fabric. The fabric is then finally dried by passing it
through the RUCKH Drying machine of capacity 1500 kgs / 8 hours.
