CHAPTER -I

INTRODUCTION

The glorious Indian industrial past was related with cotton

and silk goods, jewels, embroideries etc. After independence, large scale industries

especially in consumer goods like cotton textiles, jute and sugar had registered

significant growth. Large scale industries are those which require huge capital

investment and long growing period.

Large scale industrial sector is one of those sector that paved the way for

economic growth in a country like India cotton textile industry is a major large scale

industry and contributed one fifth or 20% of the total industrial output of the country.

The cotton textile industry has three main divisions. They are:-

1) The mill industry producing yarn & cloths

2) The power loom factories producing clothes from mill made yarn

3) Widely dispersed handloom units producing cloth both from

mill made and hand spun yarn.

The present study of an organization like Vijaya Mohini Mill, Tirumala.

Thiruvananthapuram, one of the leading national textile Corporation units in Kerala,

is an eye opener to the various obstacles being faced and the future prospect of

industry.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Production department function directly under the factory manager. It

consists of factory engineering department and stores department.

1.MIXING

At the first stage of production process hand stock mixing is done. The bales

are taken in the ratio of 70:30, ie 70% polyester & 30% of cotton.The bales are

arranged as layer by layer. The process is done in a a special room called mixing

room, which is in a lower tempter than that of the normal room temperature.

2.BLOWING

The raw cotton receved from the godown is opned and cleanedin the blow

room to remove its impurities.For this purpose machine s named Trutzchler and

Lekshmi Reiter’s are installed,which mixes the cotton and is them converted into

regular shells calld lap by the blowroom machinery.A colour is added to identify the

polyester failure.

Machines using here are BO-1200, MFC , MPM-8, ASTA-800, CVT1-1600,

LVSA-B. MPM-8 receves cotton from MFC at 100% and supplied to ASTA at 20%.

The CVT1 Machine runs at a speed of 690 rpm. The minimum speed is 570rpm and

maximum is 1000rpm.

3.CARDING

This process seperates the cotton fibers from impurities and removed short

and immaturefibers. The carding engine delivers cotton on a filling web which is

collected together to form a loose rope of fibers called ‘Silver’. These silver as a

Page 6: organisation study at Vijayamohini Mill trivandrum

product is stored in cans. These silvers are collected in coir cans. Carding machine

used here is ‘Lekshmi Rieter . There are 35 semi high production carding machines

and 7 high production carding machines. Macines using here is FBK-553, DK 800,

KHL 600 and Lekshmi Rieter.

4. COMBER

Objective of the comber is to remove short fibers , lambs and impurities

present in card silver. When the silver is passed through the comber machine, the

short fibers are unmoved and thus larger staple length can be optained. Comber

functions as to remove fiber hook and parallalise the fiber, to bring about fiber to

fiber seperation and to remove short fibers.

5.DRAWING

The ‘silver’ lacks uniformity and so silvers are processed in the drawing

frame. Here the silvers are made uniform in thickness by doubling process and fiber

gets drawn straightened by drafting process.

Hence both doubling process and drafting process are taken places. Doubling

is done to improve the uniformity of the fiber, parallelisation of the fiber is achieved

through drafting ie, without breaking continuity.

Silver from cardig are stretched or down in states by passing them through a

drawing frame. Eight carding silvers are converted into one silver through the

Page 7: organisation study at Vijayamohini Mill trivandrum

drawing frame, and it is more narrow in which fiber have been blended and aligned

more closely. Lekshmi Rieter model no Do63 and Trutzchler, model No. HSR 1000

etc are used here as drawing machines. There are six such machines.

6.SIMPLEX

The level of ‘Silver’ determines the quantity of the yarn spin. The silver

drawn from the drawing departments are to be thinned out into a bobbin to suit the

yarn to the spin.the process of converting the silvers is done in the fry frame

department.Simplex machines used are model JINGWEI, JWF-146.

The product here is called Rover and it is passed to spinning section.

7.SPINNING

Spinning frames convert the roving receved from simplex machine into yarn

of receved count. Here each bowan is converted into 8 corps. Each of the bowan has

2kg. Spinning frame need24000wts power for working. 29 spinning machines are

working in this section and 51 workers at day shift. Spindle capacity of the present

machine is 864.

8.REELING MACHINE

Page 8: organisation study at Vijayamohini Mill trivandrum

The yarn prepared by the reeling machine is called hank yarn. The hank yarn

is for handlooms only. The company has stopped producing hunk yarn as it is under

contious loss.

9.WINDING MACHINES

There are eight machines and all are the automatic ones. The machines are

known as autocones.. Each macines have the capacity to produce 120. The machines

used are from Textool and Brad corner. Machines from Brad corner have the speed of

640ypm. Minimum is 80 and maximum is 720ypm. Autocorner machine have the

speed of 1050ypm.

10.PACKING

RAW MATERIAL SECTION

A cotton clerk is given the charge to maintain all the records relating to the

purchase of raw materials. The cotton is purchased from the Cotton Corporation of

India (CCI). The quality of the cotton is tested by NTC. The cotton is purchased

from pvt parties by considering the price and quality of material. The sample is

sent to the Central Testing Laboratory (CTL) to ensure the quality. The polyester

material is purchased from Reliance and Viscose from Grasim industries mainly.

SALES SECTION

Senior Asst (Sales) is in charge of this section. Sales are also centralized.

The head office is the authority for the sales of yarn. The rate is also fixed by NTC.

A committee called yarn price committee is coordinated by the central authority

and they fix the rate for selling the yarn for every week.

At present, the mill is under a continues loss, the main reason being the

high price of raw material and low selling price. The profitability is highly

dependent on the market conditions.

CHAPTER - IV

CONCLUSION

The NTC has given a go ahead sanction for the modernization of the mill

by comparing the performance of the mill with other units. Also NTC is going

ahead with a policy of closer of Non perfoming companies and giving all out

support to the better performed companies. NTC has closed down many units

under this policy and out of 116 units, only 52 units are now working. Both

management and workers are of hope that by 2020, the company could very well

profitable organization.

The organizational study under taken gives an insight in to the

function of the VIJAYAMOHINI MILL. The structure of the mill is well planned

and organized. The management is having a good control in the day to day

functioning of the company. However it is not in position to control the workers

absenteeism. Due to various reason though there is no much labor problem due

to trade union this unhealthy working conditions in the factory, ie heavy dust

condition was a major health problem for the workers. The modernization

program will be an answer to the major problem.

The financial position is also not sound due to the loss incurring by the

mill. The modernization programme will be an answer to this problem also to

some extent, the quality improvement if undertaken will boost the export and their

by improve the financial position.

The study has helped extensively to understand the various function

and problem being faced by a manufacturing company.
