Evaluation of procurement process & supply Chain of Ha-Meem Group

Abstract

Ready-made clothing (RMG) in Bangladesh is a huge prospect especially for export. This ready-made garment sector covers nearly 80 percent of total exports. Also, the garment sector is a great empowerment for women as 80% of the garment workers are women. The RMG industry has become the largest foreign exchange earning sector in our country's economy since the beginning of 1990. Bangladesh earned nearly $20 billion in 2013-14 by exporting clothing products, and RMG covers 75 percent of the country's total export, with the lion's share of the country's exchange. The Ha-Meem Group, a leading manufacturer of clothing, is expanding massively to double its export receipts to $1 billion. Ha-Meem Group's annual exports currently stand at $535 million and counts as its major buyers retail giants such as Gap, Esprit, American Eagle Outfitters, H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, Kohl's, Tommy Hilfiger, JC Penney, Mango, Zara, Next, Tom Tailor and Oshkosh. The group is currently producing 3 million yards of denim fabric in a month, so the total production capacity would be 6 million yards with the two new units. Ha-Meem has chosen to boost its denim production as demand for the fabric is rapidly rising worldwide. In its various units, the group has employed 50,000 workers and is looking for more workers for the expanded units. As of 20th December 2018, I joined the Ha-Meem group as an intern and joined the Procurement and Supply Chain Management Department. I worked in both the accessories and the chemical component. I have tried my best to produce this report in accordance with my work and the working environment of companies and various activities. Ultimately, this report is very informative, which is heavily an overview of the Ha-Meem group's supply chain management. Besides the main topic of the report, there is also a chance for knowledge about this company's entire supply chain management process. There are also some issues that this department has and I have tried my best to give a proper solution based on these issues. I conducted a survey on the subject of "Evaluation of Procurement Process and Supply Chain of Ha-Meem Group" and demonstrated the problems and results with the justifications. Because the exact population size was known, the survey was conducted by probability sampling technique. Lastly, there is a detailed explanation and outcome of the survey, and on that basis I mentioned the major problems and also provided its solutions in the parts of the recommendation.
