companies in the past few years. Such collaborations include Armani, Arvind

Brands, Barbara, Benetton, De Witte Lietaer, Esprit, Gokaldas, Jockey, Levi

Strauss, Marzotto, Rajasthan Spinning & Weaving Mills, Raymond, Vardhman

Group, Vincenzo Zucchi and Welspun. In order to gain global acceptance several

Indian companies are investing overseas and also acquiring International brands.

For example, in the Home Textile market, Welspun industry has purchase

"Christy’s", a UK Towel Brand; GHCL has acquired "Dan River" and "Rosebys",

Creative Garments has purchased "Portico" brand to facilitate entry into the US and

EU markets; Alok Industries has purchased "Hamsard", a UK based retail chain.

Local Brands:

The introduction of domestic brands by the leading textile and apparel firms is

another interesting feature of the Indian textile market. Prior to 2000, there were

around 5-6 brands in India, prominent amongst them being Zodiac, Monte -Carlo,

Raymond, Bombay Dyeing.

Some of the brands built in recent years are "Pantaloon", "Killer" Jeans,

"Easios", "Tibre", "Colour Plus", ''Trigger" etc. Many of these brands have now

reached a stage where they can look towards gaining a regional, if not a global

presence.

Page 11: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Growth prospects:

Tremendous boom in retailing is expected to cause a significant change in

the consumption patterns of private incomes. The growth will result in qualitative

shifts in domestic buying patterns and life styles of consumers in India. Changing

life style has also led to a rapid increase in the ‘ready –to-wear’ market’. Several

foreign players have been retailing branded apparels in India for a number of years.

Indian textile industry has attracted increasing foreign investment over the

years. Inflow of foreign investment has inspired other international players to start

more production ventures. Growth trend of the industry has been aided and

sustained by the strong services sector. The country’s performance on the macro-

economic parameters has been impressive in the past 4 years. Despite temporary

setback in the past few months, the economy is already back on the road to

recovery. The adverse impact of western financial melt-down on the domestic

industry has not been acutely felt. Indian export sector, however, continues to reel

under depression. Its impact is much less perceived in India than majority of

exporting countries to the west.

Foreign collaborations:

Foreign players have been attracted to Indian market for two major

considerations. First, the market size is one the largest in the world. The consuming

class in the premium and super premium segment is rising significantly over the

years and this has become major focus of interest for foreign players. Secondly,

foreign players use India as a low cost production base for third country exports.

COMPANY PROFILE

Founded in Rajasthan as a privately held branded apparel company by

Rajesh Pratap Singh in 1997, Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company created

semi – formal and casual clothes for men and women.

The company operates in domestic as well as international market. It has

headquartered in Rajasthan. The company recorded revenues of Rs. 20 Cores

during the fiscal year ended November 2008. The operating profit of the company

was Rs. 50 core during fiscal year 2009.

Pavit worldwide has over the years created its unique signature style that

subtly draws from its Indian roots to crafts artisanal garments that stand apart due

to faultlessly clean lines, careful detailing and international silhouettes. The

company’s work epitomizes simplicity, yet on closer look reveals its obsessive

attention to detail. Company’s reserve reflects in its styling which combines the

modern with the traditional in an understated design aesthetic, with a global appeal.

It is closely associated with Indian fabric mills and had developmental and research

based collaborations with several of them. Textile experimentation spans both the

very high tech as well as the low tech.

The textile industry holds significant status in the India. Textile industry

provides one of the most fundamental necessities of the people. It is an

independent industry, from the basic requirement of raw materials to the final

products, with huge value-addition at every stage of processing.

Today, modern techniques, electronics and innovation have led to a

competitive, low-priced textile industry offering almost any type of cloth or design a

person could desire. It is important for fashion business to make sure that changes

in the taste and preferences of the existing customers have always been

discovered with the help of research as a shield from various competitors in the

market. Therefore, it is my responsibilities to analyze the available data from the

customer to find a new strategy to avoid the consequences of changes.

Page 13: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

One of the main responsibilities that kept me busy in a working hour was

enhancing a sales person by giving training for the purpose of adding the skills and

knowledge required to make a rightful approach to the potential customer. Each

and every employee is only allowed to welcome the customer in a best way with a

respectful gesture but not to bargain or action force to convince.

As i was assigned for the marketing operations, i was among one of the

employees who is responsible for assisting the merchandiser so that there could be

a smooth flow of goods between different branches in the country.

Pavit Worldwide manufactured its goods with a limited numbers, and in case

of an extra demand from the customer, holding the orders from the customer and

executing the orders is one of the responsibilities for market executives.

There is no outside work for us because the products are high cost and the

customers, who are segmented as upper class people would come and buy the

products whenever they want and where ever.

All the sales for a day, a week and a month report requires to be sent to the

headquarter in New Delhi, making a simple wrong entry in the sales report could

have made a huge impact and problems to the accounts department as well as to

the management, it is very important to keep tracking any kind of transaction occur

in the organization by any means. There is some restriction regarding the

acceptance of cash like cheque is not accepted while demand draft, credit card etc.

are accepted.

Works relating to the manager which required my hands sometimes kept me

restless in a work place. It is one of my responsibilities to organize a meeting

regarding the review time over the sales in every end of a week.

Finally, creating a healthy and peaceful environment in the organization is

the ultimate technique for the organization to improve the performance of the

employees which would results in the increase in the profit of the organization.

Everyone in the organization has played an important role in creating such

environment.

Page 14: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

The main sources of fashion industry are their customer. Organization with a

strategy for long term relation with their customer always came along with the

advantage of surviving in the market even at the time of competition. Building a

good relationship and achieving the goals as well as the responsibilities of the

Organization towards the society is one of the role played by every individual in the

organization as a whole.

Domestic retail presence takes the form of six standalone flagship stores in

one of the biggest city in India such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad etc.

and selects multi-brand boutiques. Internationally the brand retails with some of the

best stores in various places of the world like USA, Brazil, CapeTown, Dubai,

France, Germany, Italy etc.

The function of the production department is to produce our products on

time, to the required quality levels, at the defined product cost. Of major concern to

the production manager is monthly output. In both EEL and DUL production

managers have monthly targets which they are expected to strive to meet or

exceed.

Note that Production can only meet its targets if Sales secure orders. Also

production costs are dependent on the price we pay for components and materials,

etc. Securing sales is outside the direct control of Production, but the relationship

between Production & Sales is intense. If sales are down, production targets cannot

be met, on the other hand if Production fails to meet its target output monthly

income is down and customers are likely to complain about late delivery. There is

scope for friction between sales and production personnel.

Component and materials procurement is another factor that strongly

influences production, production targets and delivery. If components cannot be

purchased at the target price, profits are down. If components arrive late at our

factory production targets may not be met and customers may experience late

delivery. Purchasing of components and materials is carried out by the Purchasing

section of Production. We shall say more about Purchasing later in this unit.

Page 28: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

We may consider the relationship between Production, Sales and

Purchasing as some form of eternal triangle. The relationship between R&D and

Production is also very important: if R&D are late in developing a new product the

loss in income to our company may be severe. If this occurs it may not be possible

to meet production targets for extended periods. We shall now consider the

interaction between R&D and Production in more detail. Knowledge of these

interactions should assist our newly appointed managers.

 

Designing for Production:

Both EEL and DUL employ production engineers to ensure the smooth flow

of production and sort out production problems as they arise. Production engineers

and development engineers are expected to work closely, especially in the

development of new products.

In most SMEs, R&D and Production are in close proximity which can help

make interaction easy, in principle. While a new product is being developed design

engineers and production engineers interact on a daily basis, if necessary, to

ensure that a product is not designed that would be difficult and therefore costly to

produce.

Interaction between R&D and Production

The principal interaction between R&D and Production in EEL is the

exchange of information.

R&D provides the following information to Production:-

Product manufacturing information

Product parts list

Work instructions

Product test schedule

Product quality plan

The product quality plan is covered in the unit on Quality; the remainders of the

above topic are discussed below.

Page 29: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Production provides R&D with information about our manufacturing capability. For

example what size of components our surface mount machine can handle, what

type of automated soldering capability we have, what type of production test

equipment we have.

Product Manufacturing Information:

When a new product is developed R&D produce information that allows the

production department to manufacture the product. Typically this information

includes circuit diagrams, assembly diagrams, printed circuit manufacturing details

etc. Much of this information is produced automatically as the development

progresses. For example circuit diagrams (schematics) are produced by the PCB

design package and so are printed circuit layout details. If a case is designed, the

detailed drawings of the case and its component parts are produced by the CAD

drawing package.

However, the items discussed below are not always produced as the design

progresses, so we have singled them out for special mention. Remember we are

not interested in the technical aspects of this information in this module- we are

interested in why the information is required and how it is used by the production

department.

Product Production Testing:

While a product is being designed its manufacture should be considered as

an ongoing exercise. The document we are about to describe is produced by

design engineers working in close collaboration with production engineers. The

document contains information on how a single product would be manufactured.

For example, consider the following manufacturing steps for a product:-

Place surface mount components on PCB

Solder surface components to PCB

Place leaded components on PCB

Solder leaded components on PCB

Page 30: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Carry out test of PCB

Place connectors on PCB

Solder connectors to PCB

Carry out connector test

Place PCB in case

Fix PCB to case

Assembly display to case top cover

Connect display to PCB

Test Display

Secure cover to case

Carry out a functional test of product

Pack Product

The above list of operations is of course fictional and their technical meaning

is of no interest to us at present. What is important is that the list of operations

determines the order of the manufacturing operations. The work instructions are

written in simple English. The work instruction document should be concise and not

cluttered with technical detail.

Note the operations in our example are assumed to be linear, that is one

operation follows another. This need not be the case and the assembly of the

display to the case cover could have been done at the same time as other

operations. The workflow will be decided mainly by production engineers.

Probably the best way to describe the flow of manufacturing operations is

with a simple flow chart.

Special requirements should be included in the work instruction document-

for example the maximum temperature allowed for soldering integrated circuits to

the PCB.

In the above example several tests were indicated. It is important to realize

these tests are performed to check that the manufacturing operations prior to them

have been successful; they are not intended to verify the design.

You will be asked to produce outline work instructions in the self-assessment

question at the end of this unit.

Page 31: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

It is the responsibility of our newly appointed R&D managers to ensure that

the product work instructions are created as the product is being developed. This

should ensure that the product can be manufactured within target production costs.

If the work instructions are left to the end of the product development it almost

certain that problems will be encountered during its manufacture.

Finally it is important to realize that the organization of the product

manufacture will be carried out by production engineers, using the product work

instructions and a knowledge of the volume of production, to set up the product

production line.

Product Work Instructions:

Of key importance is defining what tests are to be carried out during the

production process. Ideally the minimum number of tests should be carried out to

ensure the product has been manufactured correctly.

The tests, which are part of the manufacturing operation, are defined in the

product test schedule. The tests should be described as simply as possible, using

non-technical language where possible.

The guiding principle in defining a test is that it should check the

manufacturing operations prior to it. The test must be easy to perform, non-

technical people will be carrying them out, and it should be quick to perform, for

high volume production a few seconds is typical.

Most products are subjected to a final functional test. Ideally this should

exercise all the components, connectors, display functions etc. associated with the

product. This is rarely possible, some components, like decoupling capacitors are

difficult to test- an open circuit capacitor cannot be detected at a functional level. In

addition it is not practical to test software in detail, but it may be possible to check

that all the memory chips function.

A major question during the development of the test schedule is should we

manufacture our test gear or purchase readymade test gear?

Page 32: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

The advantages of producing our own test gear is that we get exactly what

we want and, because we have designed the gear and produced it ourselves, we

should be able to maintain it and repair it when it malfunctions. The disadvantage of

producing our test gear is it is time consuming and costly. It is also possible we do

not have the resources to develop the test gear ourselves.

The advantages of purchasing test gear are that we do not have to develop it

ourselves, which releases our engineers to carry out other more rewarding tasks.

Also purchased test gear is likely to carry out tests in accordance with accepted

standards. The disadvantage of purchasing test gear is that it may be expensive,

difficult to set up and use, and difficult to maintain and repair.

The decision on which route to take: make our own test gear of purchase it,

is a management decision that should be resolved as the product is being

developed. It cannot be left until the product has been developed if product launch

dates are to be met.

You will be asked to produce an outline production test schedule in a later

unit in this module.

Purchasing:

The people in purchasing usually see their job as procuring components and

materials at as low a price as possible while ensuring the delivery of them is on

time.

If products are ordered late, or delivery is late, it is likely that monthly output

will be below target, which is of major concern to management, including senior

management.

However, the quality of components and materials is also of prime

importance and it is essential that Purchasing is provided with the full ordering

information for each item it is to purchase. For example, if a capacitor is included for

EMC purposes it should be defined as an EMC component. Critical components

that can only be obtained from a single source should be identified as critical.

Page 33: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

When design engineers are specifying components during the development

of a new product they should be specified in sufficient detail to allow Purchasing to

source and buy them. For example, if a capacitor included for EMC purposes, its

EMC performance must be specified, such as its self-resonant frequency.

The trouble is the more tightly items are specified the harder it becomes to

find suppliers of them. Purchasing frequently approach R&D to ask if such and such

a component may be used instead of the one specified for a product because the

specified one is unavailable. The answer to such question can be time consuming-

but R&D engineers are expected to answer it as soon as possible- this is part of

product maintenance.

The more latitude design engineers can give Purchasing when specifying

materials and components the better, but it is important to maintain quality.

Another area where Purchasing can put pressure on R&D is the area of

purchasing "standard" components. If our company can purchase 10K resistors in

volume they will be cheap. If we decide we want an 8.2K, and we don't normally

stock that value, Purchasing are likely to ask, "Will a 10K do"? This must be treated

as a sensible request, provided volumes of production justify it.

The simplest way of providing Purchasing with the information necessary to

procure components for a product is to produce a parts list. Note that many

software packages do this, but it is usually not a complete list. For example a PCB

design package is likely to provide a parts list for each PCB in the product, but it will

not contain the parts for the case, which has been designed using another package.

This problem is not easy to solve, and expensive software packages have been

developed called Materials Requirement Planning packages (MRP). They are

usually not easy to use and setting them up can be a major undertaking.

Management Issues:

Page 34: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Several management issues have been raised throughout this unit but we

are mainly interested in the ones that require the attention of the manager of R&D.

The decision on whether to make production test gear in house or purchase

it from external suppliers is of crucial importance to R&D. If it is decided to produce

our own test gear it could tie up development engineers for prolonged periods. The

management decision on which route to take must be decided early in the product

development phase if production launch dates are to be met.

Information required to allow production engineers to set up for product

manufacture, such as the preparation of test schedules and work instructions is of

extreme importance and the manager of R&D should make sure design engineers

produce this information as the product development progresses.

The routine tasks of specifying components sufficiently well to allow non-

technical people to order them, preferably from a variety of sources, is important

and the manager of R&D should ensure this is carried out correctly.

Finally, requests for product maintenance from Purchasing, when

components become unavailable are a concern to the manager of R&D. Such

requests, which are usually given high priority, can severely disrupt the

development of new products.

Functions of Marketing Department:

Marketing department is a promotional art, but moving the products from raw

textiles to the retail market requires selling skills along with a firm understanding of

the mathematics of business, visual merchandising and retail functions. There are

merchandisers who reports under the head merchandiser. The merchandisers

make sure the smooth and constant flow of production from one place to another in

order to increase the profit effectively and efficiently.

One of the main responsibilities that kept me busy in a working hour was

enhancing a sales person by giving training for the purpose of adding the skills and

knowledge required to make a rightful approach to the potential customer.

Page 35: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Each and every employee is only allowed to welcome the customer in a best

way with a respectful gesture but not to bargain or action force to convince.

As i was assigned for the marketing operations, i was among one of the

employees who is responsible for assisting the merchandiser so that there could be

a smooth flow of goods between different branches in the country.

Pavit Worldwide manufactured its goods with a limited numbers, and in case

of an extra demand from the customer, holding the orders from the customer and

executing the orders is one of the responsibilities for market executives.

There is no outside work for us because the products are high cost and the

customers, who are segmented as upper class people would come and buy the

products whenever they want and where ever.

All the sales for a day, a week and a month report requires to be sent to the

headquarter in New Delhi, making a simple wrong entry in the sales report could

have made a huge impact and problems to the accounts department as well as to

the management, it is very important to keep tracking any kind of transaction occur

in the organization by any means. There is some restriction regarding the

acceptance of cash like cheque is not accepted while demand draft, credit card etc.

are accepted.

Works relating to the manager which required my hands sometimes kept me

restless in a work place. It is one of my responsibilities to organize a meeting

regarding the review time over the sales in every end of a week.

Finally, creating a healthy and peaceful environment in the organization is

the ultimate technique for the organization to improve the performance of the

employees which would results in the increase in the profit of the organization.

Everyone in the organization has played an important role in creating such

environment.

The main sources of fashion industry are their customer. Organization with a

strategy for long term relation with their customer always came along with the

advantage of surviving in the market even at the time of competition. Building a

good relationship and achieving the goals as well as the responsibilities of the

Page 36: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Organization towards the society is one of the role played by every individual in the

organization as a whole.

It is always important for a marketer to always come up with a good strategy

in order to create a good and long term relationship with the customer. Because of

creating a relationship for a long time with the customer and earning their loyalty

enhance the organization in the market.

Another important thing that i have experienced from the internship is how to

approach the customer and adapt myself to the atmosphere and environment of the

workplace, which possibly helps me to improve my mental and emotional factors for

the determination towards my goals and objectives.

Marketing techniques:

Marketing strategy is an overall marketing plan designed to meet the needs

and requirements of customers. The plan should be based on clear objectives. A

number of techniques will then be employed to make sure that the marketing plan is

effectively delivered. Marketing techniques are the tools used by the marketing

department. The marketing department will set out to identify the most appropriate

techniques to employ in order to make profits. These marketing techniques include

public relations, trade and consumer promotions, point-of-sale materials, editorial,

publicity and sales literature.

Page 37: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Marketing techniques are employed at three stages of marketing:

Market research enables the organization to identify the most

appropriate marketing mix ,the mix should consist of:

The right product

Sold at the right price

In the right place

Using the most suitable promotional techniques.

To create the right marketing mix, marketers have to ensure the following:

The product has to have the right features - for example, it must look good

and work well. The price must be right. Consumers will need to buy in large

numbers to produce a healthy profit. The goods must be in 'the right place at the

right time'. Making sure that the goods arrive when and where they are wanted is an

important operation. The target group needs to be aware of the existence and

availability of the product through promotion. Successful promotion helps a firm to

spread costs over a larger output. Finally techniques need to be applied to monitor

the success of marketing activity. For example when carrying out advertising it is

helpful to track consumer awareness of the adverts and their messages. Evaluation

can also take the place of other aspects of the marketing mix e.g. which distribution

channels were most effective? Was the chosen price the right one? etc.

Page 38: Pavit Worldwide

Business behavior marketing

Today businesses have an increasing market focus. If organizations are to

serve the needs of their customers they need to be structured in such a way as to

identify and meet customer requirements.

Businesses therefore need to behave in such a way that they recognize the needs

of the customer.

A company prospers best when everyone in it believes that success depends

on the excellence of his or her contribution. Short-term decisions made many times

a day by individuals determine the quality of that day's work.

The governing principle should be that everybody has a customer - either

outside the company (the traditional 'customer') or inside the company (the internal

customer). Both kinds of customer expect to be supplied with the product or service

they need, on time and as specified.

The principle holds good for everyone in the company, whatever their level of

skill and experience, whether their 'product' is answering a telephone in a helpful

way or masterminding a major new project. It works to everyone's benefit. It gives

the individual genuine responsibility and scope for initiative and it virtually

guarantees that the company's performance will be improved.

However, individual behaviors will only match the organization objective of

being customer focused if the right sorts of structures are created. Hence the

importance of developing structures such as team working and empowering

employees to make decisions rather than be told what to do.

Modern companies like Travis Perkins (builders merchants), and Argos

(catalogue retailer) have recognized the importance of team working in motivating

employees and in providing close links to the consumer. By encouraging staff to

listen to consumers these organizations are best placed to provide the products and

the services that ensure ongoing business success.

Empowerment is the process of giving increased power and responsibility to

employees at all levels within an organization. It involves placing more trust in them.

Page 39: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Decentralization is the process of handing down power from the corporate

Centre (e.g. Head Office) to the various parts of the organization.

Advertising, promotion, packaging and branding

Advertising, promotion, packaging and branding are important marketing tools

which are used to make products and services more desirable and hence increase

sales and profits.

Any form of publicity is advertising. There are two main forms of advertising

although in practice the two are inter-related.The informational aspect of advertising

involves providing information about products, services, or about important issues.

For example, the government provides information about the dangers of cigarette

smoking, which is an example of informative advertising.

Persuasive advertising goes further and uses a persuasive message, for example

by: showing a famous personality (e.g. Gary Lineker) using the product comparing

the advantages of one product with another using sex appeal.

There are a number of processes involved in producing effective advertising,

including:

Identifying the most appropriate market segments to target the advertising

Choosing the best possible media, e.g. television, radio, posters etc.

Projecting the right message in the adverts

Getting the timing of the advertisements right

Tracking the effectiveness of the advertising, e.g. checking to see how many people

can recall the advert and its message.

Advertising is just one way of promoting a product. Promotion is the business of

communicating with customers. There are a number of ways of promoting products

and services, including:

In-store promotion e.g. giving away free samples in a supermarket

Publicity in the media, competitions, and sponsorship

PR - public relations activities - i.e. presenting the public image of a company to a

wide audience

Presenting products in attractive packaging

Creating an attractive brand for a product.

Page 40: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Aims of marketing department

Marketing involves a range of processes concerned with finding out what

consumers want, and then providing it for them. This involves four key elements,

which are referred to as the 4P's (the marketing mix). A useful starting point

therefore is to carry out market research to find out about customer requirements in

relation to the 4Ps.

Market research

There are two main types of market research: Quantitative research involves

collecting a lot of information by using techniques such as questionnaires and other

forms of survey. Qualitative research involves working with smaller samples of

consumers, often asking them to discuss products and services while researchers

take notes about what they have to say. The marketing department will usually

combine both forms of research.

The marketing department will seek to make sure that the company has a

marketing focus in everything that it does. It will work very closely with production to

make sure that new and existing product development is tied in closely with the

needs and expectations of customers.

Page 41: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Modern market focused organizations will seek to find out what their

customers want. For example, financial service organizations will want to find out

about what sort of accounts customers want to open and the standard of service

they expect to get. Retailers like Argos and Home base will seek to find out about

customer preferences for store layouts and the range of goods on offer. Airlines will

find out about the levels of comfort that customer’s desire and the special treatment

that they prefer to receive. A useful definition of marketing is the anticipation and

identification of customer needs and requirements so as to be able to meet them,

make a profit or achieve other key organizational objectives.

Staff members of Finance Department hold responsibilities for their

department and render a wide range of financial services, including: budget

planning, procurement, risk management, cash management, accounting

operations, and financial reporting. The variety of responsibilities and the

complexity of departmental functions require creation of staff list which contains

comprehensive and complete Information about duties and roles of the staff

members

Significant Accounting Policies:

Financial Statement:

The policies adopted by the company, which are consistent with those of the

previous year (except those stated otherwise) are as follows:

Accounting convention:

These accounts have been prepared on the basis of historical cost

convention except land building and machinery which are stated at revalued

amount.

Staff retirement benefits:

Page 45: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

The company operates a contributory provident fund for all its permanent

employees and contributions, based on salaries and wages, are made monthly to

cover the obligations. Gratuity is accounted for as and when paid.

Taxation:

The charge is based on taxable income, if any, as adjusted for tax purposes

and after taking into account all tax credits, rebates and available tax losses. Tax

deducted from export sales u/s 80-CC is considered final discharge. No provision

has been made for deferred taxation as the major timing differences are not

expected to reverse for a considerable period.

Foreign encyst translation:

Foreign liabilities (except those for which foreign exchange rates have been

booked, and are translated at the fixed rates) are converted into local currency at

the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.

Contingencies and commitments:

These are accounted for as and when these become due.

Fixed assets and depreciation:

Fixed assets are shown at their purchase cost, except land, building and

machinery which are stated at revalued amount, together with any incidental

expenses of acquisition, including foreign exchange rate variance and interest

accrued up to the date when the assets commence commercial production.

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of fixed assets, except

freehold land, on a reducing balance basis using the normal rates currently

applicable for tax purpose. However, this year the useful life of the machinery has

been reviewed and depreciation is charged @ 5% instead of 10% in earlier years.

A full year's depreciation is charged in the year of acquisition except major

additions to machinery which are depreciated on prorate basis for the working

Page 46: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

period. No depreciation is charged in the year of disposal. Maintenance and normal

repairs are charged to income as and when incurred while major renewals and

improvements are capitalized.

Assets subject to finance lease:

These are stated at lower of present value of minimum lease payments

under the lease agreements or the fair value of such assets. The aggregate

amounts of obligations relating to these assets are accounted for at net present

value of liabilities. Depreciation on these assets is charged in line with normal

depreciation policy adopted for assets owned by the company.

Investments:

Investments are stated at cost and no provision is made for diminution in its

value.

Stores, spares and stocks:

These are valued as follows:

Stores and spares - at average cost except stores in transit which valued at

actual cost.

Raw materials - lower of average cost or market value.

Work in process - at average cost.

Finished goods:

Mill made - at moving average production cost.

Local purchases - at average purchase price.

 

Revenue recognition

Sales are recorded on dispatch of goods to customers.

Functions of Human Resource Manager:

Page 47: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

The HR manager plays an important role in the organization. As we have

a very flat structure, HR manager is the eye and ears of the organization. Manager

is solely responsible for recruiting the right person and hiring the correct candidates

for the job, giving proper training, creating a healthy and friendly atmosphere in the

organization and taking care of the company’s properties.

At a general level, it is important to analyze training needs against the

backdrop of organizational objectives and strategies. Unless you do this, you may

waste time and money on training programs that do not advance the cause of the

company People may be trained in skills they already possess the training budget

may be squandered on rest and recuperation sessions, where employees are

entertained but learn little in the way required job skills or job knowledge, or the

budget may be spent on glittering hardware that meets the training director’s needs

but not the organization’s. It is also essential to analyze the organization’s external

environment an internal climate. Trends in the strategic priorities of a business,

judicial decisions, civil rights laws, union activity, productivity, accidents, turnover,

absenteeism, and on the job employee behavior will provide relevant information at

this level.

However, assessing the needs for training does not end here. It is important

to analyze needs regularly and at all three levels in order to evaluate the results of

training and to assess what training is needed in the future.

- At the organizational level, senior managers who set the organization’s goals

should analyze needs.

- At the operations level, the managers who specify how the organization’s goals are

going to be achieved should analyze needs.

At the individual level, the managers and workers who do the work to achieve those

goals should analyze needs, keeping in mind that performance is a function both of

ability and motivation.

Human Resource Planning

Page 48: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Human resource planning is all about measuring the organization

need to identify the numbers of employees and skills required to do those jobs.

Further, an understanding of available competencies is necessary to allow the

organization to plan for the changes to new jobs required by corporate goals.

A major changes according to economic and social environments are

required purchasing new and additional office equipment to enhance efficiency e.g.,

computer hardware or software, coping with the recall of a defective product and

dealing with the need for a new design e.g. new automatic rotary machine.

This suggests several specific, interrelated activities that together constitute an

human resource planning system.

They include:

A talent inventory to assess current human resources and to analyze how they

are currently being used.

A human resource forecast to predict future HR requirements.

Action plans to enlarge the pool of people qualified to fill the projected vacancies

through such actions as recruitment, selection, training, placement, transfer,

promotion, development and compensation.

Control and evaluation to provide feedback on the overall effectiveness of the

human resource planning system by monitoring of HR objective.

Major Functions:

Every organization whether it is a multinational conglomerates a small

business, a religious institution or a government agency depends on people.

Appropriate candidates for each job from chairman of the board to night shift janitor

must be located either inside or outside the organization and they must be

convinced by pay benefits and working conditions to take and keep the job. They

must also be trained and motivated. Handling these functions is part of human

resources management’s job.

They feel burden on themselves.

There are six steps:

Page 49: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

1. Human resources planning

2. Staffing

3. Training & Development

4. Compensation Management

5. Employee Evaluation

6. Employee Movement and Replacement

Supports to Other Departments:

Through job rotation policies and by extensive interaction with managers in

all other functional areas. Unless these executives are perceived as equals by their

corporate peers, their ability to make significant contributions to the firm will be

diminished.

Require the senior HR executive to report directly to the CEO. At present this

occurs in about 70 percent of companies nationwide. Consider whether any

corporate resource is more important than its people. Ensure that the top HR officer

is a key player in the development and implementation of business plans—

providing early warning regarding their acceptance and serving as the CEO’s

window on the organization and as a sounding board.

Representatives from HR and line managers from the business unit generate

key business strategies for the coming year. To do so, they identify major external

and internal factors that may have an impact on the future of the business, together

with future customer requirements.

Managers who have used the strategic blueprint process emphasize that its

critical, value adding activities. Such an approach is sorely needed, as a recent

American Management survey of 1500 HR managers found. When asked how well

HR strategy is linked to business results, 6 out of 10 respondents said it was either

not effective or just somewhat effective. Only 3 percent characterized the linkage as

“world class.”

The function of Personnel Department/ Human Resource Department in the

Textile Industry plays a crucial role in maintaining the utilization of machinery and

labour productivity. It has been noticed that in most of the Textile Mills, the

Personnel/ HR department is managed by graduates and post graduates without

the legal back ground. At present, the availability of law professionals in the HR

Department is very limited. In other words, most of the persons working in the

Personnel Department/ Human Resource Department are lacking the legal

knowledge in the Textile Industry.

The present functioning of HR/ Personnel department in the textile mills involves

both HR & legal compliances. In this back ground, SIMA is organizing 48 hours

program, covering over a period of 3 months namely “ Imparting HR & legal skills in

Textiles” on every Saturday for three months to the persons working in the

Personnel department to enhance the legal skills required for the Textile Industry to

improve the performance of the department. Eminent speakers from the Industry

will also address and share their experience during the program.

Critical Analysis:

Page 51: Pavit Worldwide

Requirement Analysis:

Job analysis also provides the basis for developing job specifications. Job

specifications are a statement of the human qualifications required to perform the

job. Among the qualifications which are often included in job specifications are the

following.

Educational standards which may spell out, for example, degrees attained, such as

a B.S. in engineering. Experience requirements, such as two years of general

clerical experience for the position. This job requires directing the work of from two

to ten clerical employees, and therefore would normally require some prior

experience in actually performing clerical duties. Skills requirements, such as typing

80 words per minute, or being able to take dictation by an executive etc.

Requirement analysis has performed thoroughly at Pavit Textile for the purpose of

job analysis by HR department.

Data Gathering

There are four basic technique generally used for gathering about different

jobs.

Interviews in some cases, job analysts may interview the employee who is

performing the job, the supervisor, or both. This technique may be time consuming,

and the danger exists that employees may exaggerate the importance of their jobs.

At Pavit Worldwide pvt ltd com, interviews are conducted for certain types of

investigations in cases of breakage of rules and regulations. Interviews are also

conducted for search of a new candidate but these interviews are just mere

formality rather than having professional approach.

Observation A second approach to information gathering in job analysis is having

the analyst actually observe the individuals performing a job and record

observations while doing so. In some instances this method is very useful, but

under certain conditions it becomes more difficult if not impossible. At Pavit

Worldwide pvt ltd com. this technique is implemented in some cases, observations

have done for performance judgment and competency of work force.

Page 52: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Questionnaires probably the least costly method of collecting job analysis data is by

using questionnaires. Well-designed questionnaires have been claimed to be “the

most efficient way to collect a wide array of job data and information in a short time.

However, there is the danger that a responder will not complete the questionnaires,

complete it inaccurately, or take an excessively long time to return it Pavit

Worldwide pvt ltd com. usually does not use this sort of technique to collect the

data.

Diaries or Logs a fourth approach is to utilize diaries or logs in which employees

record their daily activities and tasks. In addition, those activities performed at

infrequent intervals must also be noted. Because of the difficulties connected with

this procedure, portable tape recorders may be utilized to assist in maintaining a

record of such activities.

System Design

When choosing a system, always remember that the selection is not

expected to last forever. That thought should provide a glimmer of hope and some

optimism, too. The selection is important and should be taken with great care. At

the same time, you should acknowledge that if something better comes along or if

circumstances change, you might have made different choice.

stitching department. Oracle software’s are in use for the employee’s pay roll

system and pay breakup, all the programming has been done by IT department. In

pay roll system there is a employee form where the data has recorded and pay

break up system is also the part of these pay roll forms. There exists auto

generation system at pavit worldwide pvt ltd, employees attendance is being

checked through hand scanning recently changed from old procedure of card

scanning.

Short-falls/Weaknesses of the HRM Department:

Page 54: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

Planning:

At Pavit Worldwide, I think very small importance is given to personnel as far

as planning is concerned. Upper level management like CEO and Director give low

attention to this department. Personal Department does not search for and does not

know whether there is need of new employee at same job or not. They only know

who is going out and there is a vacancy at the place of outgoing employee. I have

examples for such employees who are doing work of two or three men. There

should be better planning for that in order to achieve organizational goal. If the goal

is to minimize the expenses it is not proper way to control and is not legally and

ethical acceptable.

Recruitment:

At Pavit Worldwide pvt ltd recruitment is done internally as well externally.

Recruiting is to attract qualified people to apply for positions with an organization.

Pavit Worldwide do not advertise their job in newspaper but let the people be

informed by existing employees.

Training & Development:

At Pavit Worldwide every new employee trains himself at his own because

training is not done or given properly by the organization. Employee’s new

colleagues teach him manners of his job. Pavit Worldwide does appoint trainee

employees who are trained by the existing employees and these trainees are

sometime hired for actual jobs.

Compensation Plans:

Page 55: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

As compensation level is low therefore employees are not very much

motivated. Motivation level and morale of employees are low which affects the

periodicity of the organization. It is fact that Pavit Worldwide pvt ltd company is well

reputed organization and covering productivity requirement but if morale and

motivation levels are brought high the productivity could increase. Anyhow

Pakistani work force are scared and compelled to take whatever anybody gives

because of unemployment. Some think is better than nothing.

Evaluation:

Pavit Worldwide pvt ltd company performance of the employees is evaluated

on the basis of what has been expected from them. The upper level management

evaluates performance. Upper level management sees how an employee is

performing on his assigned position. It is done through observing and comparing

the productivity of the organization with the expected productivity. The results of

evaluation are used in movement of employee inside the organization or outside the

organization.

Function of Information Technology:

Page 56: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

The textile and apparel supply chain comprises of diverse raw material

sectors, ginning facilities, spinning and extrusion processes, processing sector,

weaving and knitting factories and garment manufacturing.

Spinning sector is technology intensive and productivity is affected by the

quality of cotton and the cleaning process used during ginning.

Weaving sector is predominantly small scale, has on an average 4-5 power

looms per unit, suffers from out-dated technology, and incurs high co-ordination

costs. Knits have been more successful in export sector. The handloom sector

(including khadi, silk and some wool) serves the low and the high ends of the value

chain – both as mass consumption products for use in rural India as well as niche

products for urban & exports markets. Three distinctive technologies are used in the

sector – handlooms, power looms and knitting machines.

The processing sector, i.e., dyeing, finishing and printing activities, is mostly

done in the small scale. The largest amongst these comprise operations like dyeing

and finishing. The processing sector is mostly small scale. The remaining are

independent process houses (or part of composite mills) that use automated, semi-

automated large batch or continuous processing. Use of polluting dyes is prohibited

across all sub-sectors.

Indian apparel industry exhibits varying levels of technology ranging from

traditional to most modern and this has impacted the overall growth and productivity

of the sector. Among the apparel manufacturers only 9% of the factories are

considered modern by Indian Standards though 33% of manufacturers believe that

they have modern plants, while 16% owners feel that they have a world class plant

but actually none of them, according to a study, have reached that stage.

Large Indian undergarment manufacturers in the organized sector conform

to Indian Standards specifications for manufacture, raw material usage and

accessories. The industry primarily consists of small and medium enterprises

(SMEs) with traditional technology and inadequate quality systems.

According to a recent study carried out by National Institute of Fashion

Technology, in export sector only 21% manufacturers’ use modern technology even

Page 57: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

by Indian Standards while 70% employ somewhere between modern and old

technology.

IT in Management:

IT has increased the potential of the textile industry to face the growing

competitive market. It is a strategy for the continuous improvement of all levels of

management and managing a company using a concept of complete co-ordination

of data recording equipment and automation associated with all elements of the

manufacturing process through the use of a central linkage using some level of

computer and IT to help the company operate in the most effective and efficient

way.

To be in this competitive edge every management will continue to strive for

more efficient use of total resources. Thus the major elements of successful

competitive strategies are more rapid response both to market changes and to

changes in consumer demands in terms of product features, availability, quality and

price.

Processing of textiles:

Chemical processing of textile is very important in the manufacturing of

textiles. Besides imparting various properties to the fabric, chemical processing also

improves its aesthetics which in turn gives better fabric realization. Chemical

processing involves steps, chemicals, instrumentation, infrastructure, etc. where

once it was manual, today the entire chemical processing is fully

mechanized/computerized and well organized.

Advent of computer has made it possible to get information right in our living room

without moving. At the press of a button a person can access information from all

over the world in any area of his interest. Internet has further boosted this

marvelous technology.

Today, computer touches every aspect of our life. In textiles too they are

proving to be a great boon especially in chemical processing where every step has

Page 58: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

to be perfect and precise which eventually governs the finished product sale ability.

Vast information is stored in the computer which can be accessed as and when

required.

Data acquisition during individual stage of processing, its analysis and

automatic monitoring have become possible. This helps in quick identification of

faults and systematic elimination of the same during production process. It also

helps in quick decision making.

Chemical processing of textile is generally carried out in composite mills,

independent process houses; decentralized sector engaged in part processing

located in far-flung places, etc. large variations therefore exist in the finished

product. Hence urgency is felt to standardize the various processes, parameters,

methods of processing, etc. this would ensure consistency and uniformity of quality

in the finished fabric. It is here that the data bank becomes quite useful. The

availability on line data during individual stage of processing, its analysis and

access to technical information will enable prompt and quick decision making.

Implementation of Information Technology:

Besides mechanical processing, extensive research is also carried out in

chemical processing covering dyeing, printing and finishing and also in electronics.

Not only in cotton but also in other natural fibers, synthetics/man-made fibers,

chemicals, auxiliaries, etc. testing as per eco-standards is also carried out. 

The main question is how the user accesses this information. The answer

lies in data warehousing, data mining and multidimensional analysis (MDA) or

online analytical processing (OLAP). These can be used for accessing, extracting,

transforming, cleaning and storing relevant information in a data bank for better

timely decision making.

Data Warehouse:

The data warehouse or expert data system is a subject oriented, integrated,

time variant and non-volatile collection of data in support of management decision

Page 59: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

making process. It is the storage of historical and current data based on various

activities, which is stored in an organized format, in order to transform it into

meaningful business information by means of several software tools. The

electronically stored expert data in the data warehouse is updated and transformed

under software environment to a consistent, uniform format so that user can extract

the information which is directly related to his/her activity. The expert data bank i.e.

data warehouse can be used in decision support system (DSS) and executive

information system (EIS). The DSS can provide whatever information the managers

need to make decisions; while EIS allows exploration of technical data through

multiple dimensions. This enables the technical personnel to draw guidelines for

corrective actions in process mechanism for efficient performance. The objective of

creating data warehouse is to enhance the quality and speed of decision making

intelligent, which would provide a technological edge over others in competitive

environment.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:

Page 62: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

The study covers 90 – 120 respondents approximately, who are hotelier, business

men, designers, architect, employees etc.

To provide relevant results, the survey has covered around 120 respondents

approximately. Therefore, the respondents are categorized based on their gender,

the study covers majority of respondents as female which total 43.4 percents and

there are only 37.5 percent of male from the total 90 respondents.

The study has find out that most of the respondents are older than 30 years of age.

Because of the target customer, there are no respondents who age below 27 of age

as 20.84 percent of the respondents is in the age group between 27 – 30.

One of the main objectives of the study is to find out the perception of the customer,

therefore, question relating to the respondents latest fashion trend has been

evaluate and from 114 respondents there are 30.84 percent who are attracted by

only Indian fashion trend. There are 30 percent who are attracted by other trends,

19.17 percent of respondents are looking for clothes which is wearable for leisure

time and 12.5 percent are driven by artistic product. Unfortunately, only 2.5 percent

are attracted by western fashion trend.

respondents are looking for and purchased most. There are 60.8 percent of

respondents who are buying for wearable clothes, the trends and style depends on

them. 12.5 percent buy accessories staff and only 5.84 percent of respondents are

buying shoes and other footwear from the company.

SUGGESTION AND RECOMANDATION:

Page 63: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

This brief summary contains commentary on the survey and is intended to

encourage the continuation of the effort to standardize fashion industry.

The study demonstrates that, textile industry in India has been growing at a rate

of rapid condition. The market for textiles and related products has been

consistently growing in recent years for various sub-sectors. The key factor

driving a designer clothes demand is increase in the population, higher income

and change in lifestyle etc.

Considering the increase in demand, the company is facing a so called problem

like insufficiency of stock. As the company only produced a goods with a limited

items for a limited period which possibly increase the chances for the customer

missing a particular items they have waited for.

There is slow production in the company which failed to satisfy the customer as

well as the different branches in India. Therefore, if the company could revise its

supply chain in order to meet the demand from the domestic customer.

In present situation, the company does not utilize much of television, magazines

etc... advertisement. To promote the product, it would be a helpful strategy to use

promotion techniques such as road show, television display with a well-known

model, organizing a period of sales more frequently from two times a year in a

summer season as per the findings from the study.

Majority of the customer are ageing above thirty, people who have their likes and

dis - likes in a permanent basis, which are so conservative in tradition, culture

and society. It is the main reason behind why clothes based on western fashion

trends are rejected by the customer in the market.

Because of the target customer and the fabric used in the manufacture of the

project, as well as the brand image created by the designers, the price of the

product is not affordable by all kinds of customer. Therefore, if the company

wants to sell its product to all kind of customer, the company should focus

towards un-expensive items and utilizing a natural fabric would also benefit.

CONCLUSION:

Page 64: Pavit Worldwide

Pavit Worldwide Private Limited Company

As the people of India are conservative in their own culture and society

which makes the sales of clothes based on western fashion trends to the customer

as most of them are not that young and easily changing the trends for their fashion.

On the other hand, the Indian consumers are noted as among the most discerning

consumers in the world with a high degree of value orientation. Even, luxury brands

have to design a unique pricing strategy in order to get a foothold in the Indian

market. Indian consumers also have a high degree of family orientation. Brands

with identities that support family values tend to be popular and are accepted easily

in the Indian market. Indian consumers are also associated with values of nurturing,

care and affection. These values are far more dominant than values of ambition and

achievement. Products, which communicate feelings and emotions, gel with the

Indian consumers.

Branding is a relatively new phenomenon in the Indian home textile

furnishings market. In Fashion Industry, the consumer demand for premium

products is on the rise. Style conscious customers with money look for variety.

Consumer inclination for mix-n-match to build their wardrobe is acting as a catalyst

in the growth of fashion market.

The consumers place major emphasis on product quality. Price is another

important consideration attracting customers to a particular shop/brand/product. Pre

and post sales services, parking facilities and ambience of the store or mall are the

other major factors that attract local customers. Sales discounts also tend to

influence the purchase decisions of consumers provided the minimum parameters/

features are not compromised with.
