Executive Summary

In this 8 weeks internship program I attended the lectures of key departments (Cutting, Stitching,
PPC, Merchandising, Quality Assurance, Stores) of this largest knitted garment manufacturers of
Pakistan which are delivered by experienced managers running these departments. After attending
the lectures I also visited these departments for acquiring practical knowledge.
All the departments of Masood Textile Mills Ltd. (MTM) start their activities when the
merchandising department receives the purchase order (PO) from the customer. This PO is sent to
PPC department for further processing. After the PO confirmation the stitching department gets
cutting from induction department and starts production, other departments also work along with
production units.
I also observed that MTM is fully modernized and equipped with latest cutting, stitching and
packing machines. Complete back track system and Apparel Management Systems are unique
characters of MTM. It is fully equipped with quality control laboratory which frequently check the
quality of fabric. Quality assurance checks the quality of finished products; it makes sure 100%
error free products.
Human Resource Department in Masood Textile Mills Ltd. (MTM) is very strong. There are four
main functions of HR department. Which are Recruitment and selection, Compensation and
benefits, Training and development and Performance appraisal.

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 directors needs but not the organizations.
It is also essential to analyze the organizations 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 organizations goals should
analyze needs.
At the operations level, the managers who specify how the organizations 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

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.
At MTM, 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.

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 managements job.

Support of HR to other Departments

The H.R Department is the key strength of any organization in motivating
employees, managing HRMIS system, dealing external affairs, handling with each
departments performance, making promotions etc..so my major area was Human
Resource Department.
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 CEOs 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.

Mechandising Department:
It is bridge between customer and factory. It is performing the task of marketing in
MTM. The objective of merchandising department is to retain the existing customers, and
keep continuously communicate with them and also to attract new customers.CEO and
Marketing Manager attend different exhibitions all over the world to attract these
sourcing companies. All the sourcing companies are the Customers of the Masood
Textile Mills. Merchandisers are the representatives of Masood and they keep contact
with customers. Merchandisers also try to acquire new customers and contracts through
personal selling.

Industrial engineering provides us a systematic (step by step) organized way of increasing

productivity using simple techniques.

Productivity:
It is defined as the ratio of output and input i.e.
Productivity = Output / Input
From the above formula .it is very clear that one or the combination of the following ways
can increase productivity:
(a) Decreasing input, while keeping the output same.
(b) Increasing output, while keeping at the input same.
(c) Increasing output appreciably with slight increase in the input.
(d) Decreasing output slightly with significant decrease in input.

Scope of I.E.
Industrial engineering techniques are applicable everywhere, starting from a small
Office, home, training places, small industry to a large industry.
It helps in:
Better layout planning.
55

 Designing work aids.

PEST Analysis
68

Political situation:
The political situation of Pakistan is not satisfactory and unstable. Rapid change in
the Govt. and the change of the policies of the previous govt. by the new govt. abruptly
effect the Pakistans political situation. Due to these entire factors the foreign investor
hesitates to invest in Pakistan.
Govt. should device such policies that are beneficial for the local exporter as well as for the
investors.

Economic Situation:
The economic condition of Pakistan is not suitable for investment. Market growth
rate is very low and new investors hesitate to invest. Increasing inflation rate
due to heavy loan make the business environment strict. Actually increase in
inflation rate leads to high cost of production so our country products sell out
at a high price but with low margin.

Social Situation:
The change in the lifestyle of the people affects the growing demand of the MTM
products. The change in the lifestyle and needs in different demographics also affect the
demand of the customers.
Due to all these changes MTM is performing excellent for the excellence of organization as
well as for the customer.

Technological Factor:
Technological advancement in all the sectors of the country has changed the entire
socio-economic environment. Especially textile sector has incorporated technological
development and advancement in their organizations.

Conclusion & Recomendations

Masood textile mill is the best knit wear in the world. In a short span of time, the company
has established a good image in the international market.
Although there is a tough competition in the international market, but Masood textile mills is
continuously going on its way to prosperity .The main customers of Masood are, JC
PENNY, SARA LEE.
They have established a good image in the mind of its customers. This is all due the
companys high quality products. Company quality assurance department is so well
establish that some times the customers request the quality inspector to visit some other
company s where their other products are being manufactured, so the quality of that
company can be checked.
China, India, Bangladesh are the major countries, which have direct competition with
Pakistan. Due to quota system the company has accepted only limited orders. The main
advantage to the company is of its mills unit. The company has manufactured the fabric
itself, so the cost of the production of the company is much reduced. Raw material like
fabric and ribs are produce by itself.

Suggestions
Need to develop a culture of cooperation and teamwork. For this purpose a
revolutionary commitment from higher management is required at this time,
otherwise MTM may not be able to cash the benefits of quota elimination.
The misbehavior of some responsible managers with the working force is creating
unrest and feelings of being treated like slaves among the workers. For the purpose
of improvement in this sector the line management should be trained and must be
educated how to behave the workforce.
Decentralization of authority should be there. With the active participation of all the
management level employees in the decision-making is fruitful for MTM.
Employees should be encouraged to come up with revolutionary thoughts.
70

 Proper training at each level should be given to the employees.

Special incentives like bonus on Eid and on other special days should be given to the
employees.
Should hire well-educated, trained, and experienced young professionals.
There should be a complete follow up of ISO 9002 certification according to desired
quality standards.
The low capacity is generating problem for MTM. Due to low capacity the MTM has
to:
a. Procure Yarn from market, which cause delays, variations and high
prices.
b. Knitting from out door, that cause delays, variations and high prices.
c. Dying and finishing of the fabric from out door, that also causes the same
above mentioned problems.
The biggest problem that I think this low capacity is generating is extraordinary pressure on
the working force. This creates mental toughness and stress among the employees,
especially among the PPC department staff.
The solution to this entire problem is obviously the increase in capacity of production. But
this task should be done systematically through proper planning and after preparation of
feasibility report.
