INTRODUCTION

The Indian Textile Industry using Cotton -the white gold of India-as

the raw material , is about 185 years old. The first cotton mill was set up in

Calcutta in 1818. However the industry made a real beginning in 1854. The

textile industry in India has made its major development after independence.

Today the Indian textile industry place a crucial role with over 1460

organized units, 32 million spindles, 1.7 million power looms, 4 million 1.7

million power looms, 4 million handlooms, large no. of small, medium and

large processing houses and approximately 1 Lakh garment and hosiery

units.

The textile industry is the single largest 6 industries in the country

with annual growth rate of 15% it provides employment in aggregate to

about 20 million people. It contributed 32% of India’s foreign exchange

earning through merchandise export constitution 20% of Industrial

production and 75% GDP.

The textile industry has a complex structure. The development of this

structure is from hand spun. Hand woven to high-speed machine sector.

There is also on intermediate segment constituting small scale power loom

units dispersed mostly in the semi urban and rural areas all over the country.

The broad classifications of Indian Textile Industry are as follows:

1 Composite mills in the organized sector. There spinning and

weaving take place under one roof.

2 Spinning mills in the organized sector.

3 Decentralized sector consisting of handloom and power loom

The scope for further development in this field is enormous.

Because we have traditional labours, they are well versed with the

methodologies and various process adopted by the industry. AT the same

time the industry has developed new technologies and is using modem

machineries. The industry has ready access to domestic cotton in abundant

measure and generally at prices which are extremely competitive.

In some states the textile industry is in grate crisis Kerala is one of

them which is facing great recession all the field, which has directly affected

the textile industry. Higher cost of power, financial costs etc. affects the

Indian textile industry.

The Cannanore spinning And Weaving Mills – Mahe is one of them

important spinning mill in the northern Kerala, which provides employment

to more than 400 employees. It is a subsidiary of national textiles

corporation (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Madurai) ltd

Bangalore. The mill is running in huge loss and is in great financial crisis.

Finance plays an important role in the survival of any industry. Finance

provides the necessary stimulus for continued operations of all types of

business. All business decisions have financial implications. Decisions

relating to purchase, production, marketing, accounts, research etc.

PROFILE OF CANNANORE SPINNING AND WEAVING

MILLS-MAHE

The CANNANORE SPINNING AND WEAVING MILLS-MAHE is at

present a unit of National Textile Corporation-BANGALORE. The mill was

incorporated and started the production under the private ownership in the

year 1964 situated at Peringadi in Mahe. The mill was promoted by Mr.

KAYATH DAMODARAN. Due to financial troubles and labours problems

it was closed on 23-06-1971.There after on 02-05-1972 it was taken over by

Govt: of India under IRD Act and was nationalized effective from 01-04-

1974. From its nationalization mill was put under the control of national

Textile Corporation. The mill comes under the Bangalore subsidiary which

covers 16 mills scattered in the state of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala

and Puthucherry. Since the mill was taken over by NTC long term

settlement were entered between the management and union in the mill, on

the service conditions wages etc. In the year 1982 under an expansion

program 10080 spindles were also added to the earlier 20160 spindles and

the total spindle capacity amounts to 30240 at present. There was no strike

or lock out since the entire atmosphere was conductive for industrial

harmony.

done in factories which house manufacturing process the basic inputs of the

production process are men, machines plant service and methods.

A product is on important variable in the marketing mix. It is the

companies main link with the consuming public All begins with the product.

If there is no product there will be no pricing, no distribution and no

promotion. That is why product is considered to be the most important

single component of the marketing programme.

Spinning is the man production activity on the cannanore spinning

and weaving mill. So the production department is needed by spinning

manager. In othe rwords the spinning manager perform production manager

duties and responsibilities. However, the assistant managers and supervisory

staff are put to this section.

PRODUCT MIX

The products mix is also called product range. A product mix is the

total list of products which a firm offers to us customers. It is the complete

list of all the products offered for sale by a firm.

Product mix of the mill varies according to customer requirements.

The mill has been mainly producing 60’s k cone, 60’s PC cone, and 45’pv

cone. The mill is also producing 50’s PC cone 52’s PC cone, 2/60’s PC

cone, 62’s PC cone, 60’s PC cone, 30’s PSF cone and 38’s k cone.

Factors influencing product mix

A company may change its product mix. It may add new product or

eliminating existing product. The important reason for changing product mix

are as follows

Change in demand

Presently the mill has producing 60’s cone, 60’s PC cone and 45’s PC

cone. The other proportions are not produced in current situation. This in

because of change the customers demand buying attitude and buying pattern

of customer demand change in time to time.

Marketing influences

In order to enjoy the advantage of large scale production so as to earn

more profits a firm may increase its production up to the optimum level

when production increases; it can reduce the transportation cost and selling

cost

Production efficiencies

The mill expands the production in customer requirements. It can

install heavy and costing machines. It can have large division on labour and

specialization.

Financial influences

When a firm increases its output, its will enjoy a number of

economies in finance. The mill is a subsidiary of National Textile

Corporation. So this factor is not influenced in product mixing.

Use of waste

Cotton is demandable product in this mill. However the wastage is

more for producing the cotton yarn. This will cause to increase cost of

production.

PRODUCT STANDARDISATION

Products are turned out according to predetermined standards fixing

up standard AT produces requires careful planning. Standards are fixed by

taking in to consideration the process involved the nature of the product,

market demand etc. standardization revolved various elements such as

Branding packaging labeling etc.

Product Branding

Branding means giving a name to the product by which it should

become known and familiar among public. In other words; it is the practice

of giving a specified name or mark to be a product or a group of products of

one seller.

Functions of Branding

It plays important role in demand creation and pushing up sales.

It helps in identifying the products and distinguishing from the goods

of competition

It ensure uniformity of quality and satisfaction of buyer

Packaging

Packaging referse to the activities of wrapping or endosing the

products in a container like bag, tin, jar, bottle etc.

The final product of the mix (yarn) is packed in polythene bag. Each

bag has 50 k.g.’s , 1.25 kg of 40 piece. In other words 40 cones are included

in each bag.

Functions Of packaging

Packaging to be protected from the sun, rain and the cold and many

other hazards, present in the outside world,

The functions of packaging are summarized as follows.

1. Protection packaging is protects the contents of the product, it is

consumes the yarn is protected from adverse effect of breakage,

leakage etc.

2. Convenience packaging is very successful for easy transportation,

storage, usage and display

3. Identification a package gives to product on individually in

differentiates a products form competing brands.

4. Helps in branding, it facilitates branding of products as the name

of the brand can be printed on the package. The mill package is

neatly printed a unit of NTC

Labeling

Labeling is an integral part of packaging. It gives the verbal

information about the product. It serves t identify a brand

The mills label or usually a variety form. The mill is presently

produced 60’s k cone, 60’s PC cone, 45 PV cone. This proportion of the

tables is detailed below.

Product Mix Analysis

After planning the product mix and officers are analyses this product

mix. That is weather it is standard or not. In other words mixing the product

is demanded or not.

Commonly these are several techniques use in product mixing. The

mill has two techniques these are explained below.

1 Expansion of Product mix

Expanding product mix is necessary because the customer wants are

vary in each time. The current products range is 60’s k cone, 60’s pc cone

and 45 PV cone. 60’s k cone means 100% of cotton and 60’s pc means 70%

of polyester and 30% of cotton. Similarly 45 PV cone means 55% polyester

and 45% viscose. Correct proportion are expanded for the requirement of

customer

In summer season the cotton product is more demandable. For

example 60’s k cone is more demand in summer season. Similarly cotton

mix product is also demandable. That is 60’s pc cone, 50’s pc cone, 52 pc

cones etc. in this case the planning authority is advancly planned in this type

of product. Because the summer is behind similarly polyester is more useful

in winter season. In this case the above technique is used.

2 Contraction of product mix

This technique is just opposite to expansion techniques. That is

eliminating some product or simplifying in some product. The less

demandable product is stopped because the profit making is ultimate aim of

every company.

Customer wants are change is every time. Because the customer habit

is change time to time. There is no scope for customer requirements. Hence

not advance planned what type of product is produced.

In contraction strategy the analyst have detailed investigation in to

customer requirements. Then it will produce however any product is less

demandable that product is stopped or eliminated

Table 3(2) [source: secondary data]

Interpretation

In 2005 the total quality of yarn is 1377589 similarly in 2006 quantity

on yarn is 1163923. This will show a huge difference in quality of the yarn

produced. In 2005 variety mixing of the product will produced. While

comparing in 2006 the above statement show not produced in same product.

This is also cause to the changes in the total production in comparing each

count there is no seen vast change except 52’s pc cone 60’s k cone. In 2005

52’s pc cone are 387900 but 2006 only 95052.Similarly 60’s k cone is

52250 in 2005 but 2006 in 275700. In this case I understand that in 2005

52’s pc cone is more demandable and 2006 cotton product is more

demandable (60’s k cone)

CHAPTER VI

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Manufacturing of the yarn in the mill is conducted through the

following process.

1. MIXING

In this department varieties of mixing were put in this mill. Under

mixing department the bale raw materials opened and mixed in a pre

determent proportion.

Current product rage of the mill is 60’s k cone, 60’s pc cone and 45’s

PV cone 60’s k cone is only cotton 60’s pc cone is combination of polyester

and cotton and 45 pv cone is the combination of poly ester and viscose.

In mixing department coloring each production. That is 60’s k cone is

colored in yellow, 60’s pc cone is colored in Green and 45’s PV cone is

colored red. The coloring of raw material only because the identification of

the product. In the words the financial product of the yarn is identified in

what proportions. Spray the color in each proportion and identify the final

product.

In this department no machine are use and hence mixing is done by

manually. The raw materials are mixed and colored are man made activities.

After mixing the mixed raw material are fed to the blow room.

Function of mixing department

The bale raw materials are mixed in a predetermined proportion.

Coloring the raw materials are predetermined proportion

2. BLOW ROOM

Polyester, viscose and cotton bales received are opened and mixed as

per required proportion and fed to the hopper feeder and is subsequently

passed through the beaters were opening and cleaning take place. This is

than deposited on a case to have contains sheet of fiber which I would on lap

load know as lap. Each lap is 18 kg.

The mill installed three sketcher machines in the blow room. The

machine is automatically processed to the lap sheet. The ultimate aim of

blow room department is to separate waste from the fiber. In this department

60 to 65% waste are removed.

FUNCTION OF BLOW ROOM DEPARTMENT

The raw materials are cleaned and remove waste of the fiber

Beating the raw material in thinner form.

3. CARDING

Carding is the heart of spinning mill, because 90 to95% wastes are

remove in this department. The lapped sheets are fed to the carding machine.

To get the fine sheet of the mixer and then condensed in to the rope form

called the carding silver and fed to the suitable confiner called carding can.

Fiber to fiber separation and wastage the removed are main objective

of the carding the mill has two modified cards 32 medicine production cards

and eight high production cards.

4 PREPARATORY SECTION

Preparatory section consist of following parts

A. Drawing:

Carded silver is fed to the drawing frames to achieve uniformity in

thickness, weight, unit length and to alternate fiber. Several silvers as per the

machines are fed together to the draw frame and straitened length wise

over each other and producing longer and thinner silvers.

The drawing influence in quality is very big, because the drawing

is the final process of quality improvement. The output of this section is call

drawing silver. The quality of drawing silver determines the quality of yarn.

The mill has 8 drawing machine.

Functions

To archive uniformity in thickness weight and unit length

To improve quality

B. Simplex:

The draw frame cannot be directly to the ring from creel spinning

process, Before that is fed to simplex machine to further drafting to the

desired level as per the count to be manufactured and also inserting twist to

make the roving in a rope form and winding on a bobbins for reeling on the

frame machine. Each simplex bobbin is about 1 kg weight. The mill has

conventional type and 3 medium type machines.

Functions

Twist to make the rope form

Wind to the bobbin form

5 SPINNING

Spinning is the most important department in the mill under

this sections the simplex bobbins are fed to the ring frame. Creel were it

passes through several pairs of rollers running at higher rate of speed

required twist is inserted in this stage, until the drawn out, yarn is desired

specification. The main working of the spinning department is relative

humidity control. If the relative humidity is 50 to 55% in this department.

The mill has 72 ring frame machine. Each ring frame consists of 420

spindles.

The capacity of the spindle is 30240 (420x72). The out put of this process is

spinning bobbins

Functions

Twist the fiber and insert the machine.

Humidity control

6 DOUBLING

Yarn that are required to be doubled are need to be processed in

doublers winder and then in doubling machine. The speed of machines is

10000rpm

In this department by using two spinning bobbins. One doubling yarn is Produced. Sometime doubling may be carried out after winding also. produce.. The mill has 3 doubling machines.

Functions

Doubling the yarn

Humidity control

7 WINDING

Process is carries out to avoid fault and there by improve quality. In

this process the yarn spun on ring frame winds on paper cones. Slub caterers

are provided to remove un noted dirt on yarn.

Yarn in the form of cone weighting 1.25 kg is the out put of this

section and send to package section 8 cone winding machine are installed in

the mill. There is one cheese winding machine also

Functions

Yarn in the form or lone

Yarn spun on ring frame

8. PACKAGING SECTION

SUMMARY

Cotton in India is king of crops and it also the white gold of India.

The history of is old as the history of India. Our country was recognized as

the cradle of cotton industry

It is about 11 years before that cannanore spinning and weaving

mills –mahe ,last made profit and had couple demand not only local market

but today not only the mill but all the mill other mills under NTC are

shortage of funds . In the mill the relationship between the workers is better

and the mills atmosphere is moderate.

Production is the main activity of the mill. Production department

strength and weakness depends up on the production functioning Cannanore

Spinning and Weaving Mill maintain a good production department.

FINDINGS

Through out the project work as well as mine interaction between

the workers I find out the matters

1. since the financial position cannot improve with out modernization

and change of product mix

2. In the mill the spinning manager perform production managers duties

and responsibilities because the spinning is the main activity in the

mill

3. In the main market of the product of the mill is Bhivandi (Mumbai).

They also distribute its product to Ahemadabad, Coimbatore, Tiripur

and Madurai.

4. The production processes are carrying out according to the plan for

top members.

5. wastage is more for cotton material it will increase cost of production

6. The objective of doubling section the yarn are doubled and twisted.

This will help to manufacturing of thick dress.

7. the brand name of mill is NTC

8. lack of internal control
