PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

5.1 PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

A business unit is established for the production and distribution of goods or

services, production management. Under takes planning, organization, direction

coordination and control of the production function be produced at the right time in right

quantity and at the right cost.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

CARDING

WINDING DEPARTMENT

BLOWROOM

DRAWING

SIMPLEX

SPINNING DEPARTMENT

The spin plan or the counts to be manufactured will be decided well in advance according

to the market demand or the demands of the customer. Again it depends upon the raw

material availability and balancing of the process in each department.

Job production

Mass production

Small batch production

GINNING

A cotton gin (short for cotton engine) is a machine that quickly and easily

separates the cotton fibers from the seeds, a job previously done by hand. These seeds are

then used to grow more cotton, produce cottonseed oil, or, if badly damaged, are disposed

of. It uses a combination of a wire screen and small wire hooks to pull the cotton through

the screen, while brushes continuously remove the loose cotton lint to prevent jams.

The ginned cotton fibre, known as lint, is then compressed into bales which are

about 1.5m tall and weigh almost 220 kg. Only 33% of the crop is usable lint.

Commercial cotton is priced by quality, and that broadly relates to the average length of

the staple, and the variety of the plant. Longer staple cotton (2 1/2 in to 1 1/4 in) is called

Egyptian, medium staple (1 1/4 in to 3/4 in) is called American upland and short staple

(less than 3/4 in) is called Indian.

BLOW ROOM

Blow room installations consists of a sequence of different machines to

carry out the above said operations.Moreover Since the tuft size of cotton becomes

smaller and smaller, the required intensities of processing necessitates different

machine configuration.

Basic operations in Blowroom :

Opening

Cleaning

Mixing/Blending

Microdust removal

Uniform feed to the carding machine

Recycling the waste

Opening in blowroom means opening into small flocks.Technological

operation of opening means the volume of the flock is increased while the

number of fibres remains constant. i.e. the specific density of the material is

reduced.

The larger the dirt particle , the better they can be removed

Since almost every blowroom machine can shatter particles, as far as

possible a lot of impurities should be eliminated at the start of the

process.Opening should be followed immediately by cleaning, if possible in

the same machine.

The higher the degree of opening, the higher the degree of cleaning. A very

high cleaning effect is almost always purchased at the cost of a high fibre

loss. Higher roller speeds give a better cleaning effect but also more stress

on the fibre.

Cleaning is made more difficult if the impurities of dirty cotton are

distributed through a larger quantity of material by mxing with clean cotton.

The raw cotton arrives in the form of large bales. These are broken open and a

worker feeds the cotton into a machine called a "breaker" which gets rid of some of

the dirt. The cotton may not be consistent in quality from bale to bale and samples

will be taken. This machine cleans the cotton of the remaining dirt and separates the

fibres. The cotton emerges in the form of thin "blanket" called the "lap". An

important quantity is called the "tex" which basically measures the mass per metre.

Ideally the tex of the emerging lap should stay more or less the same. The final end

product of the mill, the yarn, needs to be of constant quality and character and this

is achieved by checking the cotton through all the preceding stages.

CARDING

"Card is the heart of the spinning mill" and "Well carded is half spun" are

two proverbs of the experts.These proverbs inform the immense significance of

carding in the spinning process.

High production in carding to economise the process leads to reduction in

yarn quality.Higher the production, the more sensitive becomes the carding

operation and the greater danger of a negative influence on quality.The

technological changes that has taken place in the process of carding is remarkable.

Tex is the weight in grams of 1 km of yarn

Latest machines achieve the production rate of 60 - 100 kgs / hr, which used to be 5

- 10 kgs / hr, upto 1970.

Purpose of Carding :

to open the flocks into individual fibres

cleaning or elimination of impurities

reduction of neps

elimination of dust

elimination of short fibres

fibre blending

fibre orientation or alignment

sliver formation

The two main ways to card fibers are by

Hand

Machine

HAND CARDING

To card by hand, the person carding holds a carder in each hand. The

carder in their non-dominant hand rests on their leg. They place a small amount of

fiber on this card and pull the other carder through, while taking care to catch some

of the fibers. By catching some fibers on the moving card, the fibers are separated,

which allows vegetable matter to fall out, and they are aligned. Once all the wool

has been transferred, the person carding repeats this process until all the fibers are

aligned and the fiber is satisfactorily clean of debris. They then roll up their carded

wool into a neat rolag.

MACHINE CARDING

Machine carding is done on a device called a drum carder. These

devices vary in size from small to large. Depending on the size of the carder, the

number of rollers varies. In Kitchen type carders, they have two drums, or rollers.

One is small, and used to catch the fibers and feed them in. The other drum takes

the fibers from the first drum, and, in the process of transferring them from one

drum to another, the fibers are straightened out and made more orderly.

In Carding the fibres are separated and then assembled into a loose strand

called sliver or tow. The carders line up the fibres nicely to make them easier to

spin. The cotton leaves the carding machine in the form of a sliver; a large rope of

fibres.

There are two types of feeding to the cards

1. feeding material in the form of scutcher lap

2. flock feed system (flocks are transported pneumatically)

SIMPLEX

In this process the output of drawing is drafted, twisted to make roving bobbin

form.In simplex section, sliver is fed and roving is produced. Finisher sliver is drafted

and very low twist is inserted to form Roving. Roving is final preparatory shape of yarn

in Back process stage, which will be converted into yarn in ring department.

SPINNING

The spinning machines take the roving thins it and twists it, creating yarn which it

winds onto a bobbin. The term "spinning" is sometimes used to denote this final

process in the production of the yarn. This involves attenuating (stretching) the yarn

to the required tex. There by giving the thread strength by adding twist and winding

it on to a bobbin.

There are two main methods

Mule spinning

Ring spinning

MULE SPINNING

The MULE was originally developed by Samuel Crompton from the

"jenny". In mule spinning the roving is pulled off a bobbin and fed through some

rollers, which are feeding at several different speeds. This thins the roving at a

consistent rate. If the roving was not a consistent size, then this step could cause a

break in the yarn, or could jam the machine. The yarn is twisted through the

spinning of the bobbin as the carriage moves out, and is rolled onto a cop as the

carriage returns. Mule spinning produces a finer thread than the less skilled ring

spinning. The mule operated in two stages. In one stage the whole 'front' of the

machine is moved away from the back part stretching and twisting the thread as it

did so. It would move several feet (say 5 feet). In stage two the front carriage

moved back and at the same time wound the stretched yarn on to a bobbin (or cop).

Mules would be placed in lines so that the front of one faced the front of the

next. As the carriages moved forward, towards each other, only a narrow gap would

be left between them for the spinner to walk between. The mules were tended by

spinners, piecers, doffers.

Piecers would mend broken threads and

doffers would remove the full cops

Doffing is a separate process. The attendant winds down the ring rails to

the bottom. The machine stops. The thread guides are hinged up. Removing the

bobbin coils thread around the spindle, and placing the new bobbin on the spindle

firmly traps the thread between it and the cup in the wharf of the spindle. This

done, the thread guides are lowered and the machine restarted.

RING SPINNING

Ring spinning is a method of spinning fibres, such as cotton, flax or wool, to

make a yarn. The ring frame developed from the throstle frame. Ring spinning is a

continuous process, unlike mule spinning which uses an intermittent action. In ring

spinning, the roving is first attenuated by using drawing rollers, then spun and wound

around a rotating spindle which in its turn is contained within an independently rotating

ring flyer. Traditionally ring frames could only be used for the coarser counts- but they

could be attended by semi-skilled labour.

The ring was a descendant of the Arkwright water Frame 1769. It was a

continuous process; the yard was coarser, had a greater twist and was stronger so

was suited to be warp. Ring spinning is slow due to the distance the thread must

pass around the ring, other methods have been introduced. These are collectively

known as Break or Open-end spinning.

A ring frame was constructed from cast iron, and later pressed steel. On each

side of the frame are the spindles, above them are the draughting (drafting) rollers and

on top is a creel loaded with bobbins of roving. The roving (unspun thread) passed

downwards from the bobbins to the draughting rollers. Here the back roller steadied the

incoming thread, while the front roller which was moving much faster pulled thread out

(attenuated) forcing the fibres to mesh together. The rollers are individually adjustable,

originally by mean of levers and weights. The attenuated roving now passes through a

thread guide that is adjusted to be exactly above the spindle. Thread guides are on a

thread rail which allows them to be hinged out of the way for doffing or piecing a broken

thread. The attenuated roving passes down to the spindle assembly, where it is threaded

though a small ring called the traveller. It is this that gives the ring frame its name. From

here it is attached to the existing thread on the spindle.

Like the hour and minute hands on a mechanical clock, the traveller, and the

spindle share the same axis but travel at different speeds. The spindle travels faster. The

bobbin is fixed on the spindle. In a ring a frame, the different speed was achieved by drag

caused by air resistance and friction. The spindles rotate at 7000 to 8000 rpm, this spins

the yarn. The traveller, winds the yarn on the bobbin. The ring on the traveller is fixed on

a lifting ring rail which guides the thread onto the bobbin in the shape required: ie a

cop. The lifting must be adjusted for different cotton counts.

CONE WINDING

Ring spinning produces yarn in a package form called cops.Since cops

from ringframes are not suitable for further processing, the winding process serves

to achieve additional objectives made necessary by the requirements of the

subsequent processing stages.

Following are the tasks of winding  process

Extraction of all disturbing yarn faults such as the short, long thick ,long thin,

spinners doubles, etc

Manufacture of cones having good drawing - off properties and with as long a 

length of yarn as possible

paraffin waxing  of the yarn  during the winding process

introduction into the yarn of a minimum number of knots

achievement of a high machine efficiency i.e high produciton level

BEAMING

The beam is a long cylinder with flanges and perhaps 600 threads are

wound on to it side-by-side. The machine is watched over by a "beamer". The full

beam is very heavy. In early days beaming was often done in the weaving mill but

then tended to be transferred to the spinning mill which would send the full beams

to the weavers. Note that this is more specifically called a "warper's beam"

SIZING

The yarn is a little fragile for the rough treatment imposed by the weaving

process and a "size" is applied to make it more robust. A number of warper's beams

(as above) are placed at the back of the sizing machine and the yarn is drawn

through and wound on to a "weaver's beam". If the machine is fed by 8 warper's

beams of 500 threads each then the weaver's beam will have 4000 parallel threads.

MARKETING DEPARTMENT

5.2 MARKETING DEPARTMENT

Marketing management refers to the identification of consumer’s needs and

supplying their goods and services which can satisfy these works. It involves the

following activities.

Marketing me search to determine the needs and expect of consumers.

Planning and developing suitable products.

Setting appropriate prices.

Selecting the right channel of distribution and

Promotional activities like adder testing and salesmanship to communicate

with the customer purchase and stores purchase.

The Marketing department creates the report for strategic planners, marketing

executives and export managers whose primary concern is to market the yarn

manufactured at high returns. 

With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a

local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear

several years after the fact.So the managers should be focused on the new

technology machines that are being upgraded every now and then.

The report begins by summarizing the world exporter’s market for yarn. The total

level of exports on a worldwide basis is based on a model that aggregates across

over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year.

There are more requirements in the market due to the growth of textile industry.

So it doesn’t need the aggressive market.

The company is supplying its materials to the companies like

Sowndarya Textiles,

Adheeswara Tex,

K.M.N Textiles.,

FUNCTIONS

MARKETING CONCEPT

The term marketing concept pertains to the fundamental premise of modern

marketing. This can be laid out as recognizing consumer needs/wants, then designing

products and services that correlate with consumer desires.

MARKETING ORIENTATIONS

An orientation, in the marketing context, relates to a perception or attitude a firm

holds towards its product or service, essentially concerning consumers and end-users.

There exist several common orientations

Product Orientation

Sales Orientation

Production Orientation

Marketing Orientation

PRODUCT ORIENTATION

A firm employing a product orientation is chiefly concerned with the quality of

its own product. A firm would also assume that as long as its product was of a high

standard, people would buy and consume the product. This works most effectively when

the firm has good insights about customers and their needs and desires.

SALES ORIENTATION

A firm using a sales orientation focuses primarily on the selling/promotion of

a particular product, and not determining new consumer desires as such. Consequently,

this entails simply selling an already existing product, and using promotion techniques to

attain the highest sales possible.

Such an orientation may suit scenarios in which a firm holds dead stock, or

otherwise sells a good that is in high demand, with little likelihood of changes in

consumer tastes diminishing demand.

PRODUCTION ORIENTATION

A firm focusing on a production orientation specializes in producing as much

as possible of a given good. Thus, this signifies a firm exploiting economies of scale,

until the minimum efficient scale is reached.

A production orientation may be deployed when a high demand for a good exists,

coupled with a good certainty that consumer tastes do not rapidly alter.

MARKETING ORIENTATION

The marketing orientation is perhaps the most common orientation used in

contemporary marketing. It involves a firm essentially basing its marketing plans around

the marketing concept, and thus forging products to suit new consumer tastes.

As an example, a firm would employ market research to gauge consumer

desires, use R&D to develop a good attuned to the revealed information, and then utilize

promotion techniques to ensure persons know the good exists. The marketing orientation

often has three prime facets, which are:

Customer orientation

Organizational orientation

Mutually beneficial exchange

FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT

5.3 FINANCE DEPARTMENT

Financial management is that part of the management which is concerned with

the planning, directing and controlling of all activities relating to procurement and

utilization of the financial resources of an enterprise for business process.

Finance is a much more important of every business firm to run production and

marketing activities. So finance is life blood of the company. In the company finance

department to organize financial activities may be created under the direct control of the

board of directors. In the department head is financial manager. The manager financial

policy matters will be decided by the finance committee while routine activities are

delegated to lower levels.

The Finance Department is responsible for the financial functions and

activities of the Council and for the administration of the Council's fiscal policy.

Financial statements (or financial reports) are formal records of the

financial activities of a business, person, or other entity. In British English, including

United Kingdom company law, financial statements are often referred to as accounts,

although the term financial statement is also used, particularly by accountants.

The finance manager raise capital from capital market (i.e. shares,

debentures, loan from banks, financial institution and public).

The Company has started with the capital of Rs.5 Crore but now it has

more than Rs.7 Crore as its capital is increasing since established.

Fund arising from the operations are increasing during the year except 2009-

10.The liquidity of the company is decreasing. The average of liquid ratio

throughout the period is above the standard (1:1), which is good for the

company.

Current assets are properly utilized to affect the given quantity of sales. The

Gross Profit ratio is good except the year 2008-2009.More fluctuations are

found in Net Profit ratio.

Though there is an increase in production and sales, it is not proportionate

with the increase in fixed assets. Inventories are cleared fast in the concern.

Thus the inventory is managed efficiently by the concern.

The debtor’s collection period is somewhat high; this indicates the receivable

management is not effective. The Gross Profit and Net Profit are increasing

throughout the study period. There is a steady increase in the production and

sales of the company.

Financial statements may be used by users for different purposes:

Employees also need these reports in making collective bargaining agreements

(CBA) with the management, in the case of labour unions or for individuals in

discussing their compensation, promotion and rankings.

Owners and managers require financial statements to make important business

decisions that affect its continued operations. Financial analysis is then performed

on these

statements to provide management with a more detailed understanding of the

figures. These statements are also used as part of management's annual report to

the stockholders.

Prospective investors make use of financial statements to assess the viability of

investing in a business. Financial analyses are often used by investors and are

prepared by professionals (financial analysts), thus providing them with the basis

for making investment decisions.

Financial institutions (banks and other lending companies) use them to decide

whether to grant a company with fresh working capital or extend debt securities

(such as a long-term bank loan or debentures) to finance expansion and other

significant expenditures.

Government entities (tax authorities) need financial statements to ascertain the

propriety and accuracy of taxes and other duties declared and paid by a company.

Vendors who extend credit to a business require financial statements to assess the

creditworthiness of the business.

Media and the general public are also interested in financial statements for a

variety of reasons.

Finance department is running with the help of efficient and experienced manager.

SOURCE OF FUNDS

The source of funds in Karlux Spinners are as follows:

Deposits from promoters/directors

Financial Institutions

Loan from banks

FUNDS UTILISATION

The funds raised through the above ways are utilized as follows:

Repayment of loans

Acquisition of fixed assets, immovable properties

Production, Selling and distribution activities

Investments

Reserve fund creation

Payment of taxes

ACCOUNTING SYSTEM

The company is using “Tally ERP” module Version 7.2 accounting software for its

accounts Maintenance. Also the company has developed its own separate software for

wages, Inventory (both raw materials and stores).

All the transactions are recorded in the respective books such as

Sales Book

Purchase Book

Cash Book

STORES DEPARTMENT

5.4 STORES DEPARTMENT

Store plays a vital role in the operations of a company. It is in direct conduct

with the user department in its day-to-day activities. The most important objectives of

store are to provide is located nearer to the production with to save material cost in as

effective manner.

The following are the important function of stores section.

Management of receipts.

Issue control on material.

Documentation received.

Inspection of materials.

Computerization of the data received from user department.

Codification of materials.

Physical verification of stores.

Stock vacation.

These stores thus get the raw material one after tools and raw punch through EOQ

(Economic Ordering Quantity) method and also by requires demand in the market.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT

5.5 HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT

In organizations, human resource is important to determine both current and

future organizational requirements for both core employees and the contingent workforce

in terms of their skills/technical abilities, competencies, flexibility etc. The analysis

requires consideration of the internal and external factors that can have an effect on the

resourcing, development, motivation and retention of employees and other workers. The

external factors are those largely out-with the control of the organization and include

issues such as the economic climate, current and future trends of the labor market e.g.

skills, education level, government investment into industries etc. On the other hand

internal influences are broadly within the control of the organization to predict determine

and monitor, for example the organizational culture underpinned by management

behaviors (or style), environmental climate and the approach to ethical and corporate

social responsibilities.

Framework

Human Resources Development is a framework for the expansion of human

capital within an organization or (in new approaches) a municipality, region, or nation.

Human Resources Development is a combination of training and education, in a broad

context of adequate health and employment policies that ensures the continual

improvement and growth of the individual, the organization, and the national human

resourcefulness.

Recruitment & Selection

In order to fill the worker class cadre, the requirements are notified to a HR

broker. The broker himself have well established framework of subunits, which

makes search for the suitable employees.

The maximum employees working here are from the outskirts of southern Tamil

Nadu, who mostly are uneducated and seek job for their family survival.

Training

The Human resource thus obtained are then well trained on their job profile and

re-training programmes are arranged for under performers.

Labour Management

A canteen functions within the company premises which satisfies the basic

requirements of the emplooyes.

Vehicle facilities are arranged and are ready at any time to the nearby town for

shopping,hospital etc....

Time office is under the control of personnel department, maintaining shift wise

workers attendance register and staff registers. The mill is functioning continuously

except the national holidays and local festivals. All the employees of the mill are

provided with medical facility. Personnel department is responsible to maintain the

discipline of the mill and directly reporting to the top-level management. Engagement of

daily casuals for the leave and absenteeism are dealt by Time-keeper in the time office.

The working is under Triple Shift

12.00 am to 7.00 am – First shift

7.00 am to 3.30 pm – Second shift

3. 30 pm to 12.00 am – Third shift

ADVISOR

SUPERVISOR

SECTION SUPERVISOR

LABOURS

This personnel department creates close relationship between the management and

the workers. The workers should feel that they are working in a friendly environment.

Thus the personnel department is very essential for every organization.

MEDICAL FACILITY

Actual medical expenses are reimbursed to the employee in case of accident

occurs in the company while performing duty.

R&D DEPARTMENT

5.6 R&D DEPARTMENT

R&D has a special economic significance apart from its

conventional association with scientific and technological development. R&D investment

generally reflects a government's or organization's willingness to forgo current operations

or profit to improve future performance or returns, and its abilities to conduct research

and development.

In 2006, the world's four largest spenders of R&D were the United States

(US$343 billion), the EU (US$231 billion), China (US$136 billion), and Japan (US$130

billion). In terms of percentage of GDP, the order of these spenders for 2006 was China

(US$115 billion of US$2,668 billion GDP), Japan, United States, and EU with

approximate percentages of 4.3, 3.2, 2.6, and 1.8 respectively.

The product range is developed so that production processes are as efficient as possible

and the products are technically superior, hence possessing a natural advantage in the
