INTRODUCTION
The Textile Industries are playing an important role in Bangladeshs
economy for a long time which comprises a mix of small to large privately
and publicly owned companies. Exports of textiles and garments are the
principal source of foreign exchange earnings. Bangladesh is second only to
China, the world's second-largest apparel exporter of western brands. Sixty
percent of the export contracts of western brands are with European buyers
and about forty percent with American buyers. Only 5% of textile factories
are owned by foreign investors, with most of the production being
controlled by local investors. The industry employs nearly 4 million people,
mostly women, and more than ten million habitants are indirectly
associated with this industry. 78% of the countrys export earnings come
from textile apparels, according to the latest figures available.
Broad objective:
Specific Objectives:
Bangladeshi clothes and textiles enjoy duty free access to the EU which
is an investment incentive for many factory founders and traders.
Foreign investment comes mainly from China and South Korea.
Raw materials are dispatched from Chittagong port and delivered to the
factory by the large trucks. If the factory would locate in Dhaka, and these
trucks would enter in the city, it would have created a huge traffic jam and
eventually the delivery of materials would take a long time. Because of
locating in outside of the city, timely delivery of materials can be ensured.
Because of locating their factory in sub urban area, the company is getting
the advantage of having their own a large factory where it has its own staff
quarter for labors and other staffs. Because of living within the factory area,
staff can join work at appropriate time.
Materials are brought from Dhaka and Chittagong port and to make them
delivered to the factory consist a high transportation cost

Medlar Apparels follows a standard working environment. The policy of the company is to ensure
the best possible industrial safety & to provide sanitation hygiene facilities to the employees.
The factor has its own medical center with available doctors.
There is adequate lighting inside & outside of the factory; security light works on off days as well.
The factory has a workers welfare committee to look after the interests of the employees. They put
forward proposals, suggestions; ventilate grievances & complaints.
The company strictly maintains national laws on working hours. Daily work-hours are 8 as
established by laws of the country and standard work week comprises 48 hours as established by
law. Daily Overtime involves 4 hours maximum. Salary is paid generally within the 7th of a month.
Fire drill is conducted once every month and is properly documented.Sufficient number of fire
extinguishers (around 72) is available on the floors to fire fight if fire breaks out in the floor. Fire
hose system is also installed to fight in case of fire hazard. The factory displays an elaborate
evacuation plan in each floor.
All exits are marked with appropriate color & signs to help quick exit of employees working in the
floor. Emergency exits are distinctively displayed. Adequate lighting is provided to illuminate
working area and workstations.
As they export the quality and good product to foreign country, many
buyers are now interested to place order in Medlar Apparels Ltd.
Eventually, they are contributing in making our countrys reputation.
As Medlar Apparels Ltd is on sub urban area, sometimes it cannot get all
facilities when it is necessary
CONCLUSION
After analyzing their overall production process, we have found that
the company is using process layout that passes through the
sampling section, cutting section, sewing section and packaging
section. In each section, the company uses product layout. The
production of this company follows batch production and just in
time approach and it depends on their buyers orders. Overall, we
can conclude that, their production process is characterized by just
in time approach, batch production and process layout.
RECOMMENDATION
Need to place some automation to reduce the production time
and threat of workers life.
Need to place some advance technology to increase the
productivity.
Need to arrange some possible facilities in sub urban area to
develop their work.
