 Introduction to Industry
The Textile Industry:

Throughout the world especially in ASIA, Pakistan is said to be the

single crop economy i.e. cotton and textile that claims the lion's share
in terms of the contribution in the national economy of Pakistan.

In Pakistan Textile Industry is dominant in contributing a huge share in

the economy regarding National Income or GDP,. Despite efforts to
bring in diversification in country's overall economic get-up the textile
sector continues to be the most important segment of the national
economy. Its share in the economy, in terms of GDP, exports,
employment, foreign exchange earnings, investment and revenue
generation altogether placed the textile industry as the single largest
determinant of the economic growth of the country.

In contrast to the great economic crunch throughout the world Nishat

mills faced the uncertainty positively and the company is still growing
up.

During the year exports were controlled from falling and significant
investment was made in value-added expansion and in Balancing-
Modernization- Replacement (BMR).

Besides fall out of the events of September 11, the implementation of

WTO's agreement, various bilateral agreements have been signed and
implemented.

As a result global scenario has changed. Government and the

corporate textile sector adjusted their policies to achieve maximum
benefits of free trade. So, local structure of the corporate culture,
investment pattern and fiscal and monetary policies were significantly
changed.

 SWOT Analysis
Strengths:

. The company has strong security system regarding any

destruction or employees security especially for labors by
providing them necessary tools for security.

. As to create more goodwill and maintain efficiency the company

is providing high quality product to their customers inside or
outside the Pakistan.

. The company is always using updated technology means latest

mechanized machinery.

. The company products are certified under ISO 9001-2000.

. The company has highly qualified and skilled management team

which shows their loyalty to the company by doing good
management.

. The company is involved in good market positioning because it is

targeting people of different ages.

. The company provides a good ratio of bonuses to his labor staff

to keep them highly motivated.
. Company is using financial resources adequately and Audit is
done properly at the end of every financial period to show the
true picture of the company to the general public.

. As the company engaged in power generation so is using own

power generation plant for productivity.

Weaknesses

. The production cost is high because of not properly utilization of

its resources.

. Instead the company has good management staff but decision

making is totally centeralized.The decisions are made by the
upper management which is weakness of the Nishat because
they have no proper idea about the situation and their decision
can be not fruitful for the company.

. As production cost is high so market prices of the products both

inside and outside the country is also hishg and because of the
other textile specialized countries like China, Bangladesh etc the
international image in the textile sector is very weak. Those
countries providing cheap product to the market then Pakistan’s
textile industries.

. Although Nishat has very strong in the national wide but it has
small market share in the global textile industry due to the sound
competitors like china, and Bangladesh etc

. As already the company production cost is high so promotional

activities are not that much active to keep the cost in safe hands
because advertising and promotional cost of the Nishat textile is
very low it can take advantage for more turnouts.
Opportunity:
Nishat Dyeing & Finishing has recently signed a Joint Venture
operation with Gulf Garments of Bahrain. Gulf Garments has extensive
experience of 20 years in the field of garment making. We together,
have setup a project with the best machines and people in the region.
Nishat Apparel Apparel is now operational with a production capacity of
25,000 pieces / day. It is considered to be one of the largest plants
under one roof in the region. With its own laundry and effluent
treatment plants, the project is set to be the market leader.
With the addition of a garment set up, Nishat Dyeing & Finishing has
become the only composite plant in the Sub-Continent with one
window operation for our customers. As whole with Spinning, weaving,
printing, Dyeing & Finishing and finally full package Garments, there is
a bright future ahead for Nishat Mills Limited

. Currently the Nishat not dealing in knitwear they can expand

their product line by producing knitwear. They have plants and
the extra cost for the production will be low for Nishat. And they
also have better market repute.

. As earlier told that Nsihat is not utilizing their resources properly

and if it is properly controlled by the Nishat management they
can produce more in a few costs. It has to develop a further
systematic process for controlling and managing resources.

. The company can switch old staff to the that they can only give
consent to the company and can take advantages by hiring
more skilled people and they should hire young, fresh and
energetic staff for their betterment.

Threats:

. Because of the research and development the design and the

product of Nishat is just satisfactory as compare to competitors
 in the globally and they are not fulfilling the demand of customer
to the point the customers want.

. Terrorism and political instability effects the Nishat because

of the quota system the company can be restrict by the
government to export.

. Because of the economic instability the Nishat affected a lot.

Dumping system which is rising on daily basis in the world can
create many problems for the company and any uncertainty in
the world like 9/11 may affect also the overall export.

Conclusion

Nishat Mills limited is one of the largest composite units in Pakistan.

Nishat Mills is having centralized system for the betterment of the
system they have to decentralize it because the group has got very
good management workforce. On the other hand the group in the
textile sector doesn’t fulfill the demand of foreign countries because of
high production cost, the core object of this report is to reflect those
areas which needs to be improve.

　 In this era of technology, the “Information” is the key to success in

the business. This means that the successful businessman will be who
will have the right information at the right time. This comment leads to
the conclusion that the Information Sharing Process should really be
improved.

　
The overall analysis is indicating that the company’s progress has
mainly attained through dedication of employees. The effectiveness of
its management, their willingness to take advantage of opportunities
and face challenges of changing economic picture, this all contributes
to the very much improved and sound position of company. This is
really appreciable for the devotion and hard work of all the employees
of the company

Recommendations

Currently in textile sector the group is exporting quality products to

foreign countries in order to get high market share the group also have
to provide quality level products on domestic bases.

They provide transportation facility to only female employees I think

male should also be provided with conveyance convenience. This will
create the easiness for workers and reduce the wastage of time.

Medical facilities are given in mill but such facilities should also be
given to management.

Different training courses should be arranged for the up lifting and

improving the quality of work for employees

There is also a problem of work overload for the employees and it

should be control properly so that the employees are motivated.

Employees should be paid extra for the work which they done after
working hours.
