The major drawbacks for the growth of the ceramic title industry in Bangladseh.

Abstract

The ceramics industry is an intensifying manufacturing sector in Bangladesh. Possessed by Tajma Ceramic Industries, it was a small industrial plant for porcelain tableware. Peoples Ceramic Industries, previously Pakistan Ceramic Industries, started production in 1966. One of the major ceramic manufacturers in Bangladesh, Monno Ceramics, was launched in 1985 to produce porcelain tableware with other ceramic items later. The ceramics industry sector has attracted foreign investment. Ceramic products have been exported to more than 45 countries. Pa-Wang ceramics started their journey in 2014 and right now is competing with the best manufacturers of ceramic floor tile such as, Great Wall Ceramics, Fu Wang, X Ceramics, RAK ceramics, etc. As an intern of Pa-Wang Ceramics ltd., I was assigned to Human Resource and Admin Department of Pa-Wang Ceramics ltd. and also given all the flexibility to work independently in the company. My duty was updating of personal file, CV Data entry, joining and processing the selected employees and interns, complete employee Database and report to the General Manager and many others. As a production engineer, I was held responsible for an efficient production cycle in terms of quality, quantity, time, cost and manpower. I had a limit of flexibility in the company due to which I was able to witness firsthand what the entrepreneurs of this sector shall face during its business cycle and what kinds of challenges will it face in its growth period. Bangladesh being a developing country is a boon as well as a curse for this sector. In one hand is the cheap labor and the scopes of growth in terms of technology and quality and on the other hand the under-qualified base level operators, technicians, the reluctance of investors and the limited presence of benefits in the cost of doing business altogether creates a somewhat slow growth rate in this sector. The report shall detail all aspect that I have been able to see while I was working in this sector.
