Gildan Bangladesh: Procurement procedure, supply chain management, HR practices, operations, and distribution management

Abstract

This internship report summarizes the experience I obtained while interning at GILDAN Bangladesh as part of the Post Graduate Diploma in Knitwear Industry Management (PGD-KIM) program. This report details the knowledge and real-world experience I acquired during that time. This internship's primary goals were to get insight into the actual working conditions of the clothing business and to see how classroom theory is used in the workplace. Throughout the internship period, there were different types of organizational operational procedures, and policy was acquired. Several kinds of workplace experience have been clarified, including documentation, assisting with operational activities, maintaining records, and working with other departments. These exercises shed light on how different organizational units work together to ensure smooth daily operations and promote broad business objectives in the apparel industry. To provide an ordered and methodical presentation of the internship experience, this report is divided into four chapters. In chapter 1, a summary of the company is given, together with Gildan's history, background, vision & mission, goals & objectives, organizational structure, organogram, branches and departments, and products regarding the marketplace. The tasks and responsibilities completed during the internship are detailed in Chapter 2, describing how the factory operates day by day from raw materials to finished goods. Chapter 3 offers a critical assessment of the internship after emphasizing the knowledge and learning of different types of skills. And finally, chapter 4, the report's overall learning results are summarized, and the significance of the internship in advancing professional knowledge of the knitwear sector is discussed. All things considered, the internship provided valuable experience and knowledge of real business process principles in the RMG sector. I've learned about real professional office culture, interdepartmental activities, and organizational procedures thanks to this internship. The curriculum aids in the professional development of vital skills including problem-solving, communication, teamwork, time management, and others that are essential for a future job in the RMG industry.
