There are mainly two type of mixing. That is polyester mixing and cotton mixing. Mixing is done at both manually and mechanically b. Blow room
In this section, mainly opening and cleaning of bale take place. Firstly the bale passes through the bale breaker for the opening of the compressed bales. Secondly it passes through a machine called step cleaner which is used for cleaning the bale by step by step process. Thirdly, it passes through a machine called Hopper feeder, which is also
known as temporary storage area of raw materials. Lastly the raw material passes through another machine and the lap from of raw material is obtained with impurities removed to a certain extent c. Carding
The lap form of raw materials are processed and cleaned to remove all the impurities and they are converted to slivers. These slivers are collected in drums. This is of non uniform thickness. The machine used for carding is called card machine and product is known as card sliver. d. Drawing
Here, the card sliver is processed to get sliver of uniform thickness. This process is done twice. So the thickness is reduced and made uniform. The product obtained by it is drawing sliver. e. Simplex
The thin uniform sliver is passed in to the spindle machine for the purpose of raring it. A number of spindles are used for it. The raw is further thinned and the sliver is converted in to actual yarn and it is wound in the bobbins. If there is break in one spindle, the machine automatically switched off. The bobbins can carry 2 kg of yarn. The rowing bobbins are then passed to the next department known as spinning department. f. Spinning
The cop winding is started in this department. There are number of machines used for it. Five machines are controlled by one
worker. In this section, works of workers are more. But it is not very risky work. g. Cone winding
The cop form of yarn is wound on the paper cone by using power 100m. The cone can carry 1.25 kg of yarn. This is used for selling distribution. In cone winding, yarn from a single cop is wound one by one to make 1.25 kg of cone. Like cone winding there is also double winding. In these type of winding instead of winding yarn from a single cone at a time, two cops is wound at the same time, by this the yarn become stronger. h. Packing
The cone of 1.25 kg is packed first in plastic. So that it does not get wet and damaged while in transit. The product is sold in bulk quantities is a bag of 50 kg. 40 cones are packed together and slip specifying the type of yarn is also kept with the pack.
STORES DEPARTMENT
Store Keeper
Staffs
This department works under the store keeper. The entire department needs certain items for the smooth working. These items were always kept optimum in the store. The items will be issued by producing a material issue voucher to the concerned departments. There are two types of purchases. One is centralized purchasing and the other is local purchases. The local purchases are made for the stores purchases. Bill of material is received for the purchase. And these are recorded in Inwards Receipt book. The inward receipts books include the following details.
Name of the supplier
Time and date of purchase
Quantity of material purchased
Place
Name of person who purchased
Name and designation of person who received and inspected the material.
Registered number of vehicle in which the goods had been brought in.
Transportation cost
Each item in the store has been given a unique code number and they are stored according to the code number and according to the cost centres . Bin card is used to recording the receipts and issues of various materials. Proper and scientific way of analyzing is not maintained in the company.
Even though the traditional technique, are being used in stores management and the system is not suitable for the modern era of industry, the personnel in stores manages to ensure each items in time when it is needed. Methods of valuation of inventories
1. Stores , spares and coals at average cost 2. Raw materials at moving weighted average cost or net realizable value whichever is lower 3. Finished goods -packed yarn at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower 4. Stock with retail shop at landed cost/ latest landed cost or realizable value after making previous for obsolescence whichever is lower 5. Waste at realizable value 6. Material in processing. Spinning and weaving in progress. Loose yarn at lower cost or net realizable value 7. The unfinished job conversion contracts for yarn are recognized as work in progress valued at contracted price less expense still to be incurred for making it ready for delivery.
Store department is responsible for storing the raw materials, finished goods and spare parts required for the smooth functioning of the organization. In this highly competitive companies cannot survive without a well managed stores department. Inventories are
the stock of the product. The store keeper in the DSM keeps an inventory of finished product to be sold to customers whenever they demand. Raw material inventory
These are materials inputs of production process. These are used to manufacture the final products. DSM uses the raw materials like cotton, polyester etc Work in progress inventory
These are semi finished products. These are the products that need more work before they become finished products. Finished goods inventory
These are finished or final products which are ready for sale. The finished product of DSM is yarn.
Sometimes the buyer selects the designs that he wants to get mass produced from the fabric database of over 8000 design collection developed by the research and Development department of DSM Textiles known as the DNTG department. The specifications and procedures for such designs are already listed in the database and now the work of the ppcis to efficiently carry out those procedures Other times the customer sends samples and requires the mass production for it. In such cases, the DNTG department develops the procedures involved for production of that sample by reverse engineering.
.
Refer to DNTG department section of the document for more details. The PPC department then allots the machinery and time required for fulfillment of each procedure accordingly. The lead time is also decided by PPC on the base of order size, machine availability, profits involved and the urgency as per the consumer.
In case of orders of lower quantities, the PPC has to strategies the execution of the order and plan whether or not to accept it, since dyeing machines of slashed and rope dye have limitations as to the minimum amount of dyeing, for best results and avoidance of wastage The PPC department also plans separately for orders of export and domestic market as the demand vary from region to region. DSM also has its own retail brands, like ruff and tuff jeans etc, but they are treated as buyers and not subsidiaries. The bottle neck operation that determines the lead time for the production is the weaving procedure. The loom capacity depends on the following factors:
CONSTRUCTION OF FABRIC
Loom Speed
Efficiency
The production planning teams need to coherently work on deciding whether the capacity of the plant is enough to fulfill the order in the given lead time. Usually the lead time for any particular order is 50 to 55 days, including all quality checks inspection etc. The thumb rule for calculation of lead time: Pre- spinning procedures: 3 days Spinning: 15-20 days Warping and dyeing- 3 days
For every weaving cycle- 3 to 4 days(weaving cycles depend on the order stand above mentioned factors) Usually for one order about 8 to 10 weaving cycles required Finishing processes- 1 day for each process, if not covered in the integrated finish processing machine Inspection 2 to 3 days Washing 2 to 3 days

Control the supervisor, operator, asst. operator and helper of weaving machine.
Any other work as and when required.
RAW MATERIAL:
Cotton 100 kilo cotton = 88 kilo of yarn(for combed yarn) (75% yarn realisation) Loss : 1 % sizing, 2.3 to 2.5 % weaving,1% warping (total 4 to 4.5%) The production planning process for denims in DSM is done on excel. Though an attempt was made previously to employ an ERP system, the project failed causing major loss of capital because an ERP system does not work for such a huge company with such diversification in the process. Process control is not possible as each order has a different requirement and hence different set of processes to be executed. Moreover, the lead time and cost calculations, that are supposed to be taken care of by the ERP system, cannot take into account of all the possible factors at a plant as huge as DSM denims The ppc head, and team are the ones, to plan each and every step of the production process, and it is their responsibility to deliver high quality products at the promised time.
Sections for production:
Administration department

MANUFACTURING PROCESS INSPECTION OF GREY FABRIC
The manufacturing of anything requires raw material DSM textile mill (Dying & Printing of Fabric) uses the grey fabric as the raw material. This is usually collected by the waving department or sometimes by the party. The first step of
manufacturing process is to inspect the raw material that is as per required? Grey fabric is inspected as 1. Thread Counting i.e. (warp & weft) in the fabric manufacturing process thread selection is important to get the proper dsm of fabric it counted by Pick glass. 2. Weight/sq. meter yarn 3. Yarn count In this process we take the 10 threads of warp and ten threads of weft and then they are weighted separately. And then put in to this formula Yarn count = number of threads*length of threads (cm)*0.0059/weight of threads in (gm.) Here the inspection of the grey fabric is completed.
SINGEING & DESIZING
The process of singeing is carried out for the purpose of removing the loose hairy fibres protruding from the surface of the cloth, thereby giving it a smooth, even and clean looking face. Singeing is an essential process for the goods or textile material which will be subjected to mercerizing, dyeing and printing to obtain best results from these processes. The fabric passes over brushes to raise the fibres, and then passes over a plate heated by gas flames. When done to fabrics containing cotton, this results in increased wet ability, better dyeing characteristics, improved reflection, no "frosty" appearance, a smoother surface, better clarity in printing, improved visibility of the fabric structure, less pilling and decreased contamination through removal of fluff and lint. Gas singeing is used in Dsm Textile industry. In gas singeing, a flame comes into direct contact to the fabric and burn the protruding fibre. Here, flame height and fabric speed is the main concern to minimize the fabric damage. Singeing is a mechanical process by which hairy, loose fibres are removed from the surface of the textile material either by heating or burning to make the material smoother and lustrous. Desizing is the process of removal of sizing material. Different types of sizing materials are being used in
industries. The sizing material is of no use after the yarn is being woven into fabric. Desizing is the process of removing sizing materials from the fabric, which is applied in order to increase the strength of the yarn which can withstand with the friction of loom. Fabric which has not been desized is very stiff and causes difficulty in its treatment with different solution in subsequent processes. After singeing operation the sizing material is removed by making it water soluble and washing it with warm water. Desizing is done by the oxidative method (chlorine, chloride, bromite, hydrogen peroxide) It is generally assumed that it is necessary to remove the sizing material to achieve the satisfactory levelness of bleaching, dyeing & printing process. Improper desizing process may cause the faulty dyeing of fabric like un-even dyeing and variation in shades and irregular printing. After these steps, fabric is kept on rotation for 8 to 12 hours continuously. The degree of proper desizing is determined by extremely sensitive iodine test and the degree of sizing is called DSM. BLEACHING
Bleaching improves whiteness by removing natural coloration and remaining trace impurities from the cotton; the degree of bleaching necessary is determined by the required whiteness and absorbency. Cotton being a vegetable fibre will be bleached using an oxidizing agent, such as dilute sodium hypochlorite or dilute hydrogen peroxide or caustic soda. If the fabric is to be dyed a deep shade, then lower levels of bleaching are acceptable. However, for white bed sheets and medical applications, the highest levels of whiteness and absorbency are essential. After scouring and bleaching, optical brightening agents (OBA) are applied to make the textile material appear whiter. The bleaching process that is followed in DSM textile is initially the desized fabric is washed/passed through the tanks of
bleaching agent whose recipe is (12gm/l caustic soda + 5gm/l weighting agent + 7gm/l stabilizer + 1gm/l sick ester) then this fabric is steam heated at about 95 ⁰C for 30 to 40 mints then after fabric is passed through the water tanks and washed. Thus the fabric is bleached INSPECTION OF BLEACHED FABRIC
When the fabric is completely bleached its sample is than send to the printing & dyeing lab where its inspection takes place. The following three tests are done on the bleached fabric. 1. Absorbency 2. DSM 3. PH Absorbency test is carried out after bleaching. A scale is stamped on the sample and dropped in to the liquid for 1 mint the fabric absorbs the liquid. For the better quality level the absorbency level must be higher or equal to 3. Since the hydrogen per oxide is harm full to the human body it is therefore, necessary to test the DSM according to the scale defined the less the number of DSM the better the quality it gains. This test is done by dropping iodine liquid on the fabric, and then matches the colour with pre-defined scale. For better quality level DSM must be less than 4. PH test is necessary to control the PH of the dyeing bath because it affects the exhaustion and fiction rate some dyeing process are carried out in the alkaline medium and some are done in acidic medium. It depends on the dye characteristic and what type of dyes is used for which fibre. In general the PH level must be greater than 6. MERCERIZING
Mercerization is a treatment for cotton fabric and thread that gives fabric or yarns a lustrous appearance and strengthens them. The process is applied to cellulosic materials like cotton or hemp. A further possibility is mercerizing during which the
fabric is treated with sodium hydroxide solution to cause swelling of the fibres. This results in improved lustre, strength and dye affinity. Cotton is mercerized under tension, and all alkali must be washed out before the tension is released or shrinkage will take place. Mercerizing can take place directly on grey cloth, or after bleaching. (This is an optional step, performed when party requires) Note: During our whole internship mercerizing process was not performed. VI. SETTING 3. The setting of fabric is done on the Stenter machine. Stenter is used for open form fabric. After passing the open compactor fabric enters into the Stenter. Cotton fabric shrinks width wise and weft distorted due to bleaching and dying process. The main purpose of the fabric is to starch the fabric width wise and recover the uniform width. The main purpose of setting is to set the width of the fabric so that we are able to print or dye the fabric according to requirement. The function of Stenter is 1. Width of fabric is controlled by the Stenter. 2. Finishing chemicals are applied on fabric by Stenter. 3. Shrinkage property is controlled by the Stenter. 4. Dsm of fabric is controlled by the Stenter. 5. Fabric is dried by the stentring process. DYEING & PRINTING
Dyeing is the process of adding colour to textile products like fibres, yarns, and fabrics. Dyeing is normally done in a special solution containing dyes and particular chemical material. After dyeing, dye molecules have uncut chemical bond with fibre molecules. The temperature and time controlling are two key factors in dyeing. Dyes are used for colouring the fabrics. Dyes are molecules which absorb and reflect light at specific wavelengths to give human eyes the sense of colour. There are two major types of dyes - natural and synthetic dyes. The natural dyes are extracted from natural substances such as plants, animals, or minerals. Synthetic dyes are made in a laboratory. Chemicals are synthesized for
making synthetic dyes. Some of the synthetic dyes contain metals too. Fabric dyeing, also known as piece dyeing, is dyeing fabric after it has been constructed. It is economical and the most common method of dyeing solid coloured fabrics. The decision regarding colour can be made after the fabric has been manufactured. Thus, it is suitable for quick response orders. Dye penetration may not be good in thicker fabrics, so yarn dyeing is sometimes used to dye thick fabrics in solid colours. Various types of dyeing machines are used for piece dyeing. The selection of the equipment is based on factors such as dye and fabric characteristics, cost, and the intended end use. In DSM textile industry the dyes are made or tested in the lab and then passed for the manufacturing process and the machine used is Thermo-sol dyeing machine. The process followed is continuous dyeing process in piece dyeing, which is used primarily for fabrics that are to be a solid colour; a continuous length of dry cloth is passed full- width through a trough of hot dye solution. The cloth then goes between padded rollers that squeeze in the colour evenly and removes the excess liquid. In one variation of this basic method, the fabric, in a rope-like coil, is processed on a reel that passes in and out of a dye beck or vat. Textile printing is referred as localized dyeing. It is the application of colour in the form of a paste or ink to the surface of a fabric, in a predetermined pattern. Printing designs onto already dyed fabric is also possible. In properly printed fabrics the colour is bonded with the fibre, so as to resist washing and friction. Textile printing is related to dyeing but, whereas in dyeing proper the whole fabric is uniformly covered with one colour, in printing one or more colours are applied to it in certain parts only, and in sharply defined patterns. In printing, wooden blocks, stencils, engraved plates, rollers, or silkscreen’s can be used to place colours on the fabric. Colorants used in printing contain dyes thickened to prevent the colour from spreading by capillary attraction beyond the limits of the pattern or design. Printing process used in DSM Textile industries uses the digital printing
mechanism. Digital textile printing is described as any ink jet based method of printing colorants onto fabric. Most notably, digital textile printing is referred to when identifying either printing smaller designs or printing larger designs onto large format rolls of textile. In DSM Textile Industry Usually “Zimmer” machine is used for printing of fabric which is based on jet ink technique. On the machine equal to the equal to the number of colours used in the design engraved rollers are placed on the machine so that all colours are printed separately on the fabric thus at the end a single design as obtained WASHING & CURING
Second step after dyeing is of drying of fabric which is done on “PAD Steam” machine and then the fabrics goes to the chemical pad at the third step and finely the dyestuff is fixed on the fabric. Washing of Dyed fabric is done on the PAD Steam. This process is performed with sulphur dye. Fabric picks the chemical and goes to the steamer for fixation. At the end the fabric goes through the washing pads to remove the un-fixed dyestuff. If the fabric is printed so it is needed to be cured. Curing is the process of hardening the colour on to the fabric so that it won’t remove after washing. The temperature must get hot enough to firstly evaporate the water based medium, then set the pigments - about 150°C [depending on the material to be heat set], Hair driers & household tumble driers are not suitable as they do not get hot enough to set the pigments. INSPECTION OF PRINTED FABRIC
After the printing/dyeing and curing the fabric’s sample is send to the printing and dyeing laboratory for pilling and staining i.e.(colour bleeding) tests are performed. Pilling is a fabric surface characterized by little pills of entangled fiber clinging to the cloth surface and giving the garment unsightly appearance. The pills are formed during wear and washing by the entanglement of loose fibers which protrude from the fabric surface. Under the influence of the rubbing action these
4. Loose fibers develop into small spherical bundles anchored to the fabric by a few unbroken fibres. The samples are given a multi directional movement and rubbed against a standard fabric. After certain number of rubs, the samples are examined and the number of pills counted. This may be repeated say in stages of 500 cycles up to 3000 or 5000 and the rate of development of pills noted. Colour bleeding test is performed on the dry and wet cotton called “Percale cotton”. A piece of percale cotton is rubbed on the printed fabric normally for 10 cycles and the degree of colour bleeding is counted against predefined scale. This number must be less than FINISHING
Textile finishing is the term used for a series of processes to which all bleached, dyed, printed and certain grey fabrics are subjected before they put on the market. The object of textile finishing is to render textile goods fit for their purpose or enduse and/or improve serviceability of the fabric. Finishing on fabric is carried out for both aesthetic and functional purposes to improve the quality and look of a fabric. Fabric may receive considerable added value by applying one or more finishing processes. The machines used for finishing process in DSM Textile Industry are Stenter and calendar. The purpose of the Stenter machine is to bringing the length and width to pre determine dimensions and also for heat setting and it is used for applying finishing chemicals and also shade variation is adjusted. The main function of the Stenter is to stretch the fabric width wise and to recover the uniform width. The fabric is collected from the batcher to the scary and then it is passed through the pads where the finishes are applied and sometimes shade variation is corrected. The fabric is entered into the mahlo (weft straightened) the function of the mahlo is to set the bow and also weave of the fabric is gripped by the clips and pins are also provided but the pins has a disadvantage that they pins make holes at the selvedge but the stretching of the pins are greater than the clips.
These clips and pins are joined to endless chain. There are 8 to 10 chambers provided on the machine each chamber contains a burner and filters are provided to separate dust from air. The circulating fans blow air from the base to the upper side and exhaust fans sucks all the hot air within the chambers. Attraction rollers are provided to stretch the warp yarn. CALENDER
Calendering is an operation carried out on a fabric to improve its aesthetics. The fabric passes through a series of calender rollers by wrapping; the face in contact with a roller alternates from one roller to the next. An ordinary calender consists of a series of hard and soft (resilient) bowls (rollers) placed in a definite order. The soft roller may be compressed with either cotton or wool-paper, linen paper or flax paper. The hard metal bowl is either of chilled iron or cast iron or steel. The calender may consist of 3, 5, 6, 7 and 10 rollers. The sequence of the rollers is that no two hard rollers are in contact with each other. Pressure may be applied by compound levers and weights, or hydraulic pressure may be used as an alternative. The pressure and heat applied in Calendering depend on the type of the finish required. The purposes of Calendering are to upgrade the fabric hand and to impart a smooth, silky touch to the fabric, to compress the fabric and reduce its thickness, to improve the opacity of the fabric, to reduce the air permeability of the fabric by changing its porosity, to impart different degree of lustier of the fabric, and to reduce the yarn slippage. SANFORISING “
Sanforising allows preventing the cotton from shrinking when washed. It is carried out by compressing the cotton to reduce its shrinking capacity”. Sanforising is the process of treatment used for cotton fabrics mainly. It is a method of stretching, shrinking and fixing the woven cloth in both length and width before cutting and producing, to reduce the shrinkage which would otherwise occur after washing.
The cloth is continually fed into the sanforising machine and therein moistened with either water or steam. A rotating cylinder presses a rubber sleeve against another, heated, rotating cylinder. Thereby the sleeve briefly gets compressed and laterally expanded, afterwards relaxing to its normal thickness. The cloth to be treated is transported between rubber sleeve and heated cylinder and is forced to follow this brief compression and lateral expansion, and relaxation. It is thus shrunk. The greater the pressure applied to the rubber sleeve, the less the shrinking afterwards. The process may be repeated. The aim of the process is a cloth which does not shrink significantly during clothes production by cutting, ironing, sewing or, especially, by wearing and washing the finished clothes. Cloth and articles made from it may be labelled to have a specific shrink-proof value. Note: During our whole internship sanforising process was not performed. Then at the end this finished fabric is sent to the market for seal.
HR DEPARTMENT
HR Department in DSM is involved in different types of human resource related activities. Here are the activities of HR development in DSM as follows:
Recruitment
Training and Development
Compensation
Performance Appraisals
Employee Welfare
Rewards and Punishments
Retirement and Termination Benefits
Employees are important to any organization in fact there are employees which give a certain image to an organization so the role of HR becomes all the more
important. The functions performed by this department at DSM Textiles discussed below. HIRING,
ORIENTATION,
TRAINING
AND
SEPARATION
OF
PERSONNEL
An important function of the department is to hire new workers and employees as and when needed. It has set criteria for required skills for different jobs. After hiring people, it briefs them about the organization its policies. Codes of conduct their responsibilities and facilities. It also arranges for the proper training of newcomers so that they are able to perform effectively and efficiently as soon as possible. Another important function of the HR department is to allocate work force for different departments and shops according to the need, for the smooth running a company requires right people on hand at the right time and in the right place. MAINTENANCE OF ALL RECORDS OF PERSONNEL
It maintains all the records and personal profiles of the people coming in, working and going out. Such records help the management in finding out the right person for a job. If a person has left the organization it can always call him back and negotiate for the key job and work. ATTENDANCE, TIME KEEPING, LEAVE RECORD AND RECORD OF SOCIAL SECURITY
The HR department is also responsible for maintenance of records of employee’s attendance. It is important because sufficient number of workers is on daily wages. So if an employee is absent his pay is accordingly deducted. The department also has leave record of the permanent employees. If they take benefit of the allowed leaves per month, their pay is not deducted, however afterwards they are penalized by deduction of pay.
Another important function of the department the basic purpose of social security is to provide a minimum level of income for retires their survivors, and their dependents, as well as for the permanently disabled. The program also provides hospital and medical payments. However social security benefits vary depending upon how long a worker has contributed to the organization. To maintain all the relevant record and decide accordingly the extent of benefit to be allowed to a worker is the responsibility of personnel department.
HANDLING OF ALL MATTERS RELATING TO PERSONNEL
HR department also deals with the complaints of the employees arising from the working conditions or from the decision made by the lower level managers and supervisors. Typically grievances arise when a worker feels that he has been passed over for promotion, is not getting a fair share of overtime or is being asked to work too much overtime. Such problems are first of presented to immediate supervisor of the employee, if he is unable to resolve, then the problem goes to manager and if even then the issue is not settled, then it is presented to human resource manager, who with discuss the problem with director and tries to reach to solution. PERSONNEL COUNSELLING
Employees are human beings and they need to be treated accordingly. When an employee is in trouble at work or at home, he appreciates the helpful attitude of coworkers and organization itself. One he is out of trouble, he is more committed to work and the organization. Therefore personnel department also takes care of employees personal problems, so that they could work to their full potential. DECISION MAKING
The decision making system is important for an organization, if it is to succeed. Customarily there are two extremes: I. II.
Centralized decision making Decentralized decision making
At Dsm Textiles it was strongly felt that the organization follows the centralized system. Chairman and Directors are all in all in the organization. Even routine and daily affairs are to be approved from the Directors. Managers have little power to make decisions. On the positive this system gives effectiveness and the top management knows everything going on. He has utmost control over the functions, he is responsible for. But on the opposite the argument is that no one person can oversee and control all the work, particularly when organization is very large. In such care, he should assign some of its authority and resistibility to the managers and other employees. Also in case of decentralized system of decision making, the managers can be held responsible for the work done by people directly under his supervision. RECRUITMENT
Textile industries promote the work of fashion designing, product pattern and styles, so your human resources strategy should focus on recruiting suitable skilled manpower for the production function as well as sales and marketing departments. Personnel in these areas are crucial to the productivity, performance and bottom line of your company. If you operate globally, recruit talented local candidates whose overall compensation will likely be several times lower than deployed personnel with similar skill levels from the home office. TRAINING
Human resources personnel have to develop programs to train employees to adapt to new technology that improves production operations in a changing garment market. Typically, such training courses help employees enhance their career growth and update new products for competitiveness. You also will need soft skills training courses on sales and marketing as a strategic management endeavor for increased sales volumes. Human resources should have a qualification system for existing and new employees to determine their respective training needs. For best results, align the training programs in home and overseas subsidiaries with your firm’s strategic goals and objectives. COMPENSATION POLICY
Your human resources strategy should establish a salary and compensation policy to encourage your existing workforce to stay and attract qualified candidates to your firm. Perform periodic reviews of salary levels to ensure workers are remunerated competitively. Incorporate an incentive system based on employees’ performance, such as instant bonuses for the sales team once they get contracts or year-end bonuses for reaching performance targets. Determine compensation for overseas subsidiaries based on company regulations and the dynamics in the labor market. WORK ENVIRONMENT
Human resources should ensure a favourable working environment. Implement safety and security measures, such as having fire alarms, first aid and monitoring systems in place. Establish a professional working environment. Spell out job descriptions to avoid confusion. An open door policy can improve communication and
productivity
when
implemented
correctly.
Integrate
diversity
by
accommodating cultural values such as religious holidays or prayer times,
especially for overseas branches. Hold regular team-building events to connect workers across departments and management, as well as reduce working stress. EMPLOYEE AND LABOR RELATIONS
The employee relations function includes activities such as planning employee recognition and reward events, identifying workplace issues, investigating employee complaints, ensuring HR compliance with employment laws and regulations and administering employee opinion surveys. The unique feature about employee relations is that it generally involves all the HR disciplines — recruitment, safety, training, compensation and benefits — because employee concerns may focus on any of those areas. Employee relations functions can also include policy development and performance management, including providing guidance to supervisors on how to conduct employee job performance appraisals. In some organizations, labor relations is a separate function that negotiates union contracts or collective bargaining agreements, handles employee grievances and assists the company's legal counsel with arbitration. SAFETY AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Many organizations have an obligation to compile company information related to safety, workplace injuries and fatalities, hazardous materials and complex machinery. This information is then provided to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration for reporting purposes to ensure the organization is in compliance with federal regulations concerning safe working conditions. In addition to compliance activities, HR functions include mitigating risk through developing programs that improve safety for employees and customers.
MARKETING DEPARTMENT
MARKETING DEPARTMENT
Marketing manager
Ass. Marketing Manager
Marketing is one of the most important operative functions of management. It is the process by which goods produced are made available to the consumers. Thus goods produced are to be stored and transferred from the place of production to the place consumption thereby creating time and place utilities. The products of Sitaram Textiles are cotton yarn and polyester yarn. Certain present of the waste of products can also be sold. The products of the company are highly qualified. So the demand of the product is high. The company follows direct distribution channel (zero level marketing). Direct marketing
Direct marketing becomes common in this world. The company do not create dealer network. The products are directly marketed to the depots in Maharashtra. Direct marketing is very beneficial for customers as well as seller and producers. It eliminates the gap between producer and consumer. The products can be effectively displayed and demonstrated right in front of the customers. These goods and services are available at fair price.
The company did not give importance to promotional activities because the company has high demand in its products. They produce finished goods after receiving orders. The price of the product is fixed by the government of Kerala. Management and workers have a strong confidence to success in the market. If the government of Kerala provides the working capital (at least 2 crores) but the company has to deliver the goods in time with consistency in quality. Therefore the company can able to increase the order. So that the company can definitely capture the entire market. Now the company is facing cut throught competition from the firms which carries same business operations. Severe price competition from the unorganized power loom sector has restricted its operation to producing yarn.
They have two marketing departments 1.

By marketing mix of an organization we mean, what company offers to the customer i.e. company's products, what price it charges for the product. How the product reaches to customer and how company promotes the image of the product. One can easily understand that all this depends upon the product, company is offering and nature of the organization itself. DSM Textiles is an organization which is in the business of cloth for quite long time now. It has started printing of grey cloth in 1967. For this purpose it has established a printing unit. Here we discuss about printing of grey cloth. Dsm Textiles Marketing / Sales Procedures PRODUCT MIX
By product mix we mean what products are being offered by the company. Dsm Textiles prints all types of designs for various needs of the customers. It also produces customized products. All colors are used commonly.
As far as Dsm Textiles is concerned, at present all types of textile products. 30 percent material of the textile products is purchased from local vendors and rest of 70 percent is imported largely. The Products carries beautiful designs. A more prominent, courageous and competitive step taken by the management is to offer products in 12 different colors. This has given an edge to Dsm Textiles over competitors. Currently Dsm Textiles is also working on an extra ordinary design.
PRICING POLICIES
The management of Dsm Textiles is well aware of the fact that, the most of the population of Pakistan could earn only enough to make both ends meet. Moreover the textile products it makes are mostly used by lower middle class and lower class in terms of income. Taking these facts into consideration, management prices its products such that, they are easily affordable for the customers. As for as per meter price is concerned; it is purely on market and profit basis. Lastly, cost has been accumulated and addition of desired profit sets the price. The prices of all textile products are in range from Rs.20 to Rs.200 per meter.While exclusive products are available at different prices. It is a known fact that in 1993 there has been steep increase in prices, and for many people it had become unaffordable to buy products despite immense need. There has been monopoly of the some competitors and they charged prices of their own choice. In Such circumstances, the management of Dsm Textiles saw an opportunity to full fill the demand of the exploited people it launched its products in 1995 with a price difference of 30%, as compared with the competitors. At present there is healthy difference prevailing as for as price is concerned.
As stated earlier the management wants to makes its products affordable to more and more people. The basic intention behind this objective is to capture as large a market share as possible. Which will give economies of scale, and this ensures its ever increasing profits. The management also makes it binding on its local sale shop that it sells products to customers at announced prices. So that each customer is treated equally and showed satisfied. This adds to good image and good will of Dsm Textiles. From time to time the sales officers prepare lists of its products and that of competitors. Then price changes are considered if necessary.

SALES DEPERTMENT
Quality Management at Dsm Textiles is very particular about improvement and maintenance of quality. For this purpose, they have established a well-equipped department heaving quality control laboratory, for which separate staff and experts have been hired. Quality Control Process Their process of quality control starts from the suppliers and ends at customer. As Dsm Textiles does not have their own weaving unit, they have to purchase material (yarn) from the open market. They start quality control right from the purchase of yarn, chemicals, dyes and other materials. For this purpose, inspection is made to see whether the purchased material is up to required quality standard or not. If not, it is rejected. If accepted, it is then given to weavers who weave the cloth only for Dsm Textiles Here also weaving process is continuously examined to have woven cloth of required quality standard.
Inspection is also made at the arrival of woven cloth to the Dsm Textiles, i.e., whether the cloth is woven with required specifications or not. Dyes and chemicals are also examined for their brands, proper combinations, quality, colors and other characteristics. Inspection for quality standards is made throughout the step by step manufacturing process, especially during grey inspection for weight, width and blend ratio. During Kier Scouring and Rope Bleaching, checking is made for whiteness and PH. During mercerizing, absorbency is checked. Sampling DSM Textiles uses sample of products to check the quality and the product to be produced in bulk. Quality Standards DSM Textiles is following different quality standards for domestic and export products. Domestic Products DSM Textiles has its own quality standards for its domestic products. They continuously try to maintain and improve these standards. Export Products
For export products, they have to follow the quality standards as specified by the customer. If they are exporting to Japan, then they have to meet their requirements and if they are exporting to Europe, then they have to follow European standards. They can make minor adjustments in quality as required by the customers. Statistical Quality Control DSM Textiles is using charts (mostly bar charts) for the purpose of statistical quality control to whether there is improvement needed and where it is needed.

SUGESSTION
The following are the major observations made from the organizational study.
The company has a strong management team which greatly influences the improved performance of the organization over the years.
The organization mainly suffers a drastic dropped down of its production activity on two aspects,
o
Scarcity of labor availability.
o
Fluctuation in power supply.
The major problem is the labor availability which has gone down drastically over the past 5 years which is due to the Governments scheme on 100days working which has drawn majority of the labor population which in turn reduced the work force availability for the production process.
The second most problem faced by the organization is the unstable and fluctuating power supply in that region. Power acts as the main source of a production process. The fluctuating power supply has decreased the production capacity of organization which makes it unsuitable to fulfill the companies per day production requirement.
These problems have caused the company to reduce its work shifts from 3 shift per day to 2 shift per day.
CONCLUSION
The research entitled “An Organizational Study of DSM TEXTILES” Was under taken with a view to study, understand, and learn, analyses about the operation of the organization. It also helps the researcher to gain more knowledge and to get practical experience about the functions of each department. In this era, companies should ensure that they offer job satisfaction and labor remuneration to the perspective knowledge in the organization. There is a greater co-operation between and the management and employees. The firm must also communicate regarding their product and services. LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Have had a great learning experience from this organization study and based on my understanding, I have some. Listed below are the same.
The old-age conventional marketing practices have to be replaced by modern methods, so as to create a good opinion for coir products in large markets..
India is the major supplier of high quality coir and coir products, trade fairs and exhibitions must be conducted for effectively projecting the image in international market. Hence such events should be organized abroad and within the company with great importance
The industry must invest in market research projects and explore new and overseas market.
Technology must be upgraded with international standards.
The coir producing and exporting countries must effectively organize and develop new strategies to overcome the competition from synthetic substitutes.
As the price of coconut is declining nowadays; efforts must be taken to promote this industry in our country.
The coir board must take effective measures to promote the export of coir and coir products.
