EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Through this industrial visit to GTN textiles I was able to understand the functional details and get a up close experience about the relationship between the Management and the Employees. Raw Material Department, Quality Assurance Department, Research & Development Department, Finance Department, Maintenance Department, Production Department, Stores Department, Personnel Department, Time keeping Department, Safety & Security Department and Marketing Department these are the functional department of GTN. In my view GTN is one of the successful companies in India. They produce quality yarns compared to other companies in the world. That is why GTN Company has a privilege

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION AND THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

1.1INTRODUCTION

India is one of the largest economies in the world. Indian economy has steadily increased since 1991. It is the fastest growing free-market democracy in the world. Economics experts and various studies conducted across the globe envisage India and China to rule the world in 21st century.

Indias exporting and export revenue increasing day by day. It exports spices, automobiles, softwares and services, textiles, agricultural products etc.Textile industry which includes garments, filaments, fibers and yarns occupies significant position in exporting.

Indian cotton yarn industry contributes around 25% share in the world trade of cotton yarn. India is the largest exporter of yarn in the international market. It has a share of 25% in world cotton yarn export market. It is the second largest inters of spindle age. It shares 23% of the world's spindle capacity.

GTN is one of the largest cotton yarn manufacturing and exporting company in India. It established in 1965, in Alwaye, Kerala. Now it has so many branches and subunits and it exports cotton yarn materials around the world. Day by day its market share and profit increases. It has well advanced technological support. It is the first company whom implemented ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system to manage all the process systematically. Initially, it was 100% EOU oriented but later, it entered for the market potential into the domestic market.

Objective of the study

1) To study of the yarn manufacturing process. 2) To understand the quality control in the core textile manufacturing. 3) To understand the organizational behavior. 4) To understand organizational structure & strategy. 5) To understand various process of GTN textiles. 6) To study the product profile.

Limitation of the study

Time was the main limitation felt during the study. Period of study with the organization was only one day

THEORETICAL STUDY

ORGANIZATION Organization is a social unit of people, systematically structured and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals on a continuing basis. All organizations have a management structure that determines relationships between functions and positions, and subdivides and delegates roles, responsibilities, and authority to carry out defined tasks. Organizations are open systems in that they affect and are affected by the environment beyond their boundaries.

Organization structure The framework, typically hierarchical, within which an organization arranges its lines of authority and communications, and allocates rights and duties.Organizational structure determines the manner and extent to which roles, power, and responsibilities are delegated, controlled, and coordinated, and how flows between management. A structure depends entirely on the organizations objectives and the strategy chosen to achieve them. In a centralized structure, the decision making power is concentrated in the top layer of the management and tight control is exercised over departments and divisions. In a decentralized structure, the decision making power is distributed and the departments and divisions have varying degrees of autonomy.

Types of organization structure 1. Pre-bureaucratic structures 2. Bureaucratic structures 3. Post-bureaucratic 4. Functional structure 5. Divisional structure 6. Matrix structure

1. Pre-bureaucratic structures

Pre-bureaucratic structures lack standardization of tasks. This structure is most common in smaller organizations and is best used to solve simple tasks. The structure is totally centralized. The strategic leader makes all key decisions and most communication is done by one on one conversations. It is particularly useful for new business as it enables the founder to control growth and development.

2. Post-bureaucratic

The term of post bureaucratic is used in two senses in the organizational literature: one generic and one much more specific. In the generic sense the term post bureaucratic is often used to describe a range of ideas developed since the 1980s that specifically contrast themselves with Weber's ideal type bureaucracy. This may include, and matrix management, amongst others. None of these however has left behind the core tenets of Bureaucracy.

3. Functional structure

Employees within the functional divisions of an organization tend to perform a specialized set of tasks, for instance the engineering department would be staffed only with software engineers. This leads to operational efficiencies within that group. However it could also lead to a lack of communication between the functional groups within an organization, making the organization slow and inflexible.

4. Divisional structure

Also called a "product structure", the divisional structure groups each organizational function into a division. Each division within a divisional structure contains all the necessary resources and functions within it. Divisions can be categorized from different points of view. One might make distinctions on a geographical basis or on product/service basis. In another example, an automobile company with a divisional structure might have one division for SUVs, another division for subcompact cars, and another division for sedans.

5. Matrix structure

The matrix structure groups employees by both function and product. This structure can combine the best of both separate structures. A matrix organization frequently uses teams of employees to accomplish work, in order to take advantage of the strengths, as well as make up for the weaknesses, of functional and decentralized forms. An example would be a company that produces two products, "product a" and "product b". Using the matrix structure, this company would organize functions within the company as follows: "product a" sales department, "product a" customer service department, "product an" accounting, "product b" sales department, "product b" customer service department, "product b" accounting department.

TYPES OF COMPANY

The Public Sector These organizations are financed by the state and they do not operate in order to make a profit but to provide a public service. Examples of public sector organizations are schools, hospitals, libraries, police and the national defense. The Private Sector These organizations operate in order to make a profit and are split into 2 categories: Non-Limited Companies This type of company can be set up with relatively few formalities. It can be either a sole trader or partnership and the owner(s) will be personally liable for all of the debts if the business fails. There is no legal requirement for non-limited companies to make any of their financial information public. Non-limited companies are generally referred to as "businesses".

Limited Companies

Limited companies can be either privately owned when they are referred to as Limited (often abbreviated to Ltd) or publicly owned .Some Plc's can sell shares to members of the public on the stock exchange, unlike Ltd's that cannot. The liability for both Ltd's and Plc is limited. This means that if the company fails, the liability of the company's shareholders is limited to the value of the shares and not their personal funds. Or, in the case of companies limited by guarantee (with no share capital) the liability of its members is limited to the amount their members wish to contribute to the assets of a company in the event of it being wound up. Note that for limited companies, the term in the commercial world to use is "company".

TYPES OF INTEGRATIONS

Forward integration A business strategy that involves a form of vertical integration whereby activities are expanded to include control of the direct distribution of its products.

Example for forward integration A good example of forward integration is now GTN textiles manufacturing cotton yarn they decided to make materials it is called forward integration

Backward integration A form of vertical integration that involves the purchase of suppliers in order to reduce dependency.

Example for backward integration A good example is now GTN Textiles purchase raw material from out sides if they decided to make cocoons this movement is called Horizontal integration When a company expands its business into different products that are similar to current lines.

Example for horizontal integration Now GTN making cotton yarns if they decided to make polyester yarn it is called horizontal integration

LITERATURE REVIEW ON ORGANIZATION

Quality of work life is a modern concept, which has its origin in Western countries. This is a new concept in the field of "Organization Behavior". The quality of work life means bringing to the work place maximum democratic life-style and balancing the needs of production and needs of the employees for self-fulfillment. The term quality of work life has appeared in research journals and the press in USA only in1970's.J.Richard & J. Lloy defines quality of work life as "The degree to which members of a work organization are able to satisfy important personal needs through their experience in the organization."One recent analysis of quality of work life described it as, "A concern about the impact of work on people as well as on organization effectiveness and the idea of the participation in organizational problem solving and decisionmaking.""Quality of work life improvements" is defined as any activity, which takes place at every level of an organization, which seeks greater organizational effectiveness through the enhancement of human dignity and growth. A process through which the stake holders in the organization, management, unions & employees --- learn how to work together better --- to determine for themselves what actions, changes and improvements are desirable & workable, in order to achieve the thin and simultaneous goals and improved quality of life at work for all members of the organization and greater effectiveness for both company and the unions.

FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENTS 1. Administration department Administration is a support function required by all businesses and this does not mean just doing keyboarding or filing. Senior administrators carry out a wide range of tasks, from monitoring budgets to interviewing new staff for their departments.

Functions of administrative department 1. Collecting, distributing and dispatching the mail 2. Storing and retrieving paper and electronic record 3. Organizing meetings and preparing meetings documents 4. Responding promptly to enquiries 5. Preparing documents using word processing, spreadsheet and 6. Presentation packages, such as PowerPoint 7. Researching information

2. Distribution department Distribution means ensuring that goods are delivered to the right place on time and in the right condition. Some companies, such as Amazon and Debenhams, deliver direct to the customer, particularly when goods are bought online.

Functions of distribution department 1. Ensuring all goods are appropriately stored before dispatch 2. Ensuring goods for dispatch are securely packed and correctly labeled 3. Checking vehicle loads are safe and secure 4. Ensuring goods are dispatched at the right time 5. Completing the delivery documents 6. Planning and scheduling vehicle routes 7. Notifying sales staff of delivery schedules so that customers can be Informed

Finance department

Most entrepreneurs consider this is the most important function in the business. This is because all businesses need a regular stream of income to pay the bills. Finance staff record all the money earned and spent so that the senior managers always know how much profit (or loss) is being made by each product or each part of the business and how much money is currently held by the business.

Functions of finance department

1. Advising senior managers on sources of finance for capital expenditure. 2. Producing the statutory accounts each year. 3. Recording money received. 4. Checking and paying invoices received. 5. Preparing the payroll and paying staff salaries. 6. Monitoring departmental budgets to check managers are not overspending. 7. Issuing regular budget reports to all departmental managers. 8. Producing cash flow forecasts and regular financial reports for senior managers.

Human resource department

The human resources of a business are its employees. Wise organizations look after their staff on the basis that if they are well trained and committed to the aims of the business, the organization is more likely to be successful.

HR is responsible for recruiting new employees and ensuring that each vacancy is filled by the best person for the job. This is important because the recruitment process is expensive and timeconsuming. Hiring the wrong person can be costly and cause problems both for the individual and the firm.

Functions of human resource department

1. Advertising job vacancies. 2. Notifying staff of promotion opportunities. 3. Receiving and recording all job applications, arranging interviews and notifying candidates of the result. 4. Sending a contract of employment and other essential information to new staff. 5. Arranging staff training and encouraging continuous professional development. 6. Monitoring the working conditions of staff. 7. Checking health and safety and keeping accident records. 8. Recording sick leave and reasons for absence.

Marketing department Marketing is all about identifying and meeting customer needs. Many businesses consider this so important that they are said to be marketing led. In this case, everyone in the organization is trained to put the customer first from the production worker, who has to produce high quality goods, to the accounts clerk, who must respond to a customer enquiry promptly and accurately.

Functions marketing department 1. Carrying out market research to obtain feedback on potential and existing products and/or services 2. Analyzing market research responses and advising senior managers of the results and implications 3. Promoting products and services through a variety of advertising and promotional methods, e.g. press, TV, online, direct mail, sponsorship and trade shows or exhibitions 4. Obtaining and updating a profile of existing customers to target advertising and promotions appropriately 5. Producing and distributing publicity materials, such as catalogues or brochures

Sales department Sales are a crucial function for all businesses. It is pointless having superb products or services if no one buys them. For that reason, most businesses have sales targets as part of their aims and objectives. Meeting these is the responsibility of the sales staff or sales team. The job of the sales staff varies, depending upon the industry. Shops that sell basic products, such as chocolates or magazines do not need to do much selling. Most customers call in to buy something, choose the goods they want, pay and leave.

Functions of sales department 1. Organizing sales promotions 2. Responding to customer enquiries 3. Selling the product or service to customers, either over the telephone or 4. Face to face 5. Preparing quotations or estimates for customers 6. Negotiating discounts or financial terms for business customers 7. Providing technical advice 8. Keeping customer records up to date

Production department

Production refers to the manufacture or assembly of goods. Production staff must ensure that goods are produced on time and are of the right quality. Quality requirements can vary considerably. Whilst an error of 0.5 mm would not matter much for a chair or table, for an iPod or DVD player it would be critical. Checking quality does not mean just examining goods after they have been produced. Today quality is built-in at every stage of the process, starting with the raw materials. Many buyers set down a detailed specification for the goods they order, such as Marks and Spencer which sets down precise standards for all its producers. For clothing, this includes the type and weight of material and the thread and fastenings too.

Functions of production department

1. Ordering (often buying) stocks of raw materials from approved suppliers. 2. Storing and checking the stocks of raw materials. 3. Planning production schedules to maximize machine capacity and staff levels. 4. Producing or assembling the finished product. 5. Checking the quality of the product throughout the production process. 6. Checking production is on schedule and resolving delays or problems. 7. Packing and storing the final products before distribution. 8. Scheduling routine machinery inspections and maintenance. 9. Carrying out repairs to machinery and equipment as required.

INDUSTRY PROFILE The textiles and apparel industry is an ancient one; bone needles have been found dating as far back as 300 BC. Before then, clothing articles were thought to be simply pieced together using knots or by lacing hides. The industry experienced slow development and few major changes until the industrial revolution, when the production of textiles and apparel was significantly altered by technology. In fact, due to the difficulty of making a piece of fabric, the textile industry was the first to be mechanized. Since then, there have been many technological advances, mostly incorporating the use of automation to improve quality and cost competitiveness. The textile industry occupies a pride of place in the Indian economy. It is one of the largest industries in the world in terms of spinning and weaving capacities. The first attempt to start a textile mill in India was made in Kolkata by an Englishman named Bowreah in 1819. Textile industry is one of the oldest and key segments of our economy accounting for almost 14 percentage of the industrial production of the country and providing direct and indirect employment to 35million people. This industry is one of the largest net foreign exchange earner and accounting for almost27 percentage of the country's total exports. The cotton yarn exports from India have grown substantially in last 20 years and at present it has 25 percentage market shares in the global cotton yarn trade. The exports of cotton yarn from India can be divided into three categories viz., coarse counts, medium count and fine & super fine yarn. Almost 85 percentages of the cotton yarn exports from India are of coarser counts and the balance 15 percentage comprises medium, fine & superfine yarn, which are mostly combed. Textile Industry in India is the second largest employment generator after agriculture. It holds significant status in India as it provides one of the most fundamental necessities of the people. Textile industry was one of the earliest industries to come into existence in India and it accounts for more than 30 percentages of the total exports. In fact Indian textile industry is the second largest in the world, second only to China. Textile Industry is unique in the terms that 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. Textile industry in India has vast potential for creation of employment opportunities in the agricultural, industrial, organized and decentralized sectors & rural and urban areas, particularly for women and the disadvantaged. Indian textile industry is constituted of the following segments: Readymade Garments, Cotton Textiles including Handlooms, Manmade Textiles, Silk Textiles, Woollen Textiles, Handicrafts, Coir, and Jute. Till the year 1985,

development of textile sector in India took place in terms of general policies. In 1985, for the first time the importance of textile sector was recognized and a separate policy statement was announced with regard to development of textile sector. In the year 2000, National Textile Policy was announced. Its main objective was: to provide cloth of acceptable quality at reasonable prices for the vast majority of the population of the country, to increasingly contribute to the provision of sustainable employment and the economic growth of the nation; and to compete with confidence for an increasing share of the global market. The policy also aimed at achieving the target of textile and apparel exports of US $ 50 billion by 2010 of which the share of garments will be US $ 25billion.

PRODUCT PROFILE GTN Textiles is one of the most largest cotton yarn exporting organization from India and its currently exporting at most 100 % of its total production to countries like Japan, Italy, Taiwan Indonesia, Singapore, and west Germany the company pioneered exports of cotton yarn to Japan & Italy where it has maintained its leadership GTN manufactures 100% cotton yarn carded and combed with counts ranging from Ne 30s 140s single double for knitting and weaving geared yarns.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

MIXING

Here, the different varieties of cotton are blended in definite proportion. The objective of blending different varieties of cotton is to spin the required yarn economically .

BLOW ROOM

In this process, the cotton mixing/bales is opened and cleaned into a continuous sheet in the lap/chute form. This product is called Blow room lap.

CARDING

In this process, the blow room lap/chute material is cleaned; the fibres are made parallel as well as individualized of fibres, waste extracted and assembled into a continuous strand. This strand (end product) is called card silver. The silvers are coiled and stored in cans.

COMBING

The Card Silver, then, prepared for combing in Silver Lap machines. The product thus prepared is called ribbon lap. These laps are then fed to comber machine. In comber the short fiber (low length fiber) and minute impurities are removed and, the fibres are made parallel and assembled in the form of silver.

DRAWING

In this process, a definite number of combed silvers are doubled and drawn together to make the resulting silver more even and parallelized fibers. The silver is stored in cans in coiled form.

SIMPLEX

The object of simplex or speed frame process is to attenuate the drawn silver into finer strand, twist and wind it on o plastic tube. This product is roving.

SPINNING In Ring spinning process the roving is attenuated with the help of drafting system and the drafted fiber strand is twisted and wound on a tube. The twisting and winding operations are performed with the help of ring traveler and spindle. The yarn count is also set at this stage. The arrangement is being progressed to spin the latest form of compact yarn by the employment of Elite and Com4 machines.

AUTOMATIC CONE WINDING

In doubling process two or more single yarns are twisted together. This process consists of two processes viz. the assembly winding and twisting. In assembly winding the required amount of single yarns of definite length (or eight) is wound in parallel to single package (generally cheese form). Twisting may be either carried out either with ring doubling machine or two-for-one twister.

CONVENTIONAL WINDING

In this process, a definite length of yarn is wound on cones. During winding the yarn is passed through electronic yarn clearer to detect and remove objectionable yarn faults. Waxing can also be done in this process.

SINGEING:

In this process, yarn is passed through a flame at high speed to remove the protruding fibres. The object of singeing is to make the yarn lustrous, which can be used, for some special end uses.

PRECISION WINDING In this process, yarn is passing through a special type of tension assembly to get the package more softly so as to get the dye package directly. The softness can be increased or decreased as per the requirement.

FUNCTIONAL AREAS
