viii
weakness is the textile and dyeing section of this organization, they have capacity but
they did not achieve the target as per capacity. Dyeing planning should be adjusted as
per colorwise and fabrication wise so that process loss might be reduced
➢ Management should proper monitoring in dyeing and textile section.
➢ Need to sustain LEAN manufacturing system as per IE.
The production was sometimes hampered due to accessories inhouse problem for
merchandiser. The management of this organization are completely focused in sewing
production but need to focused all the department of this organization as like sewing.
sometimes department head was less focused on his job responsibility so that some internal
problem was arisen.
