CHAPTER-1 INDUSTRY PROFILE THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY Overview of Global Textile Industry The global textile and clothing industry was a US$453 billion business and Comprised approximately 5.1% of total international merchandise trade. The garment industry, one segment of the textile industry, was a US$258 billion business in 2004 and comprised approximately 2.9% of total international merchandise trade. The textile and garment sectors are closely related, with textiles providing the major input to the garment industry.
The labour intensive nature of the textile industry has caused it to shift its manufacturing base several times during the last fifty years, ultimately concentrating in those countries that offered the most competitive labour cost structure. Developed markets such as in the U.S. and Europe have started downsizing capacities in view of their higher manufacturing costs compared to countries such as India, Pakistan, China and Indonesia. This relocation of the industry is expected to provide developing countries with an opportunity to penetrate U.S. and European markets and to enhance their export share in these markets. The migration of textile capacity, however, will be influenced by objective competitive factors, and may be hampered by domestic challenges and the relatively weaker infrastructure of the developing countries.

The Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC) has also created opportunities for developing countries. With full implementation of the ATC on January 1, 2005, all trade barriers (both tax and non-tax) imposed by the developed countries on imports from developing countries were eliminated, giving way for a free trade regime in the global textile trade. The ATC has opened the way for the most competitive Developing countries to develop stronger clusters of textile operations. Developing countries that have both downstream and upstream facilities in textiles have an opportunity to prosper in this new competitive environment. Overview of Indian Textile Industry The Indian textile industry occupies a unique position in the Indian economy. Not only does it provide one of the most basic needs of people, it operates as a self-reliant industry, from the production of raw materials to the delivery of finished products, with substantial valueadditions at each stage. Textiles also contribute significantly to the countrys overall economy. Currently, the textile industry accounts for some 14% of industrial production and about 4% of Indias GDP. The textile industry is the second largest provider of employment in India after agriculture, providing direct 106 employments to about 35 million people. Moreover, due to its close linkage with agriculture, the textile industry also has immense potential for employment generation, particularly in the rural and remote areas of the country, textile and garments account for 16.63%. Consequently, growth and development of this industry may have a significant bearing on the overall development of the Indian economy. The India textile industry has been fragmented historically. Recognizing the importance of this sector, the
PRESIDENCY COLLEGE 2
Indian government adopted a separate policy for development of the Indian textile industry in 1985. Further, in 2000 the government formulated a comprehensive textile policy aimed at developing a globally competitive textile industry in India through modernization and consolidation. This policy was called Vision 2010 and is intended to take advantage of the free quota regime and increase Indias export turnover to US$50 billion by 2010. THE INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY The textile industry is one of the oldest and largest industries in India and is highly fragmented. It is divided into four segments: spinning, weaving, processing and garmenting. The Indian textile industry is also comprised generally of two sectors.
The First, the organized sector, consists of modern and highly mechanized mills. The second, the unorganized sector, consists of the small-scale power loom operators and the highly fragmented handloom (hand spinning and hand weaving) operators. The unorganized textile sector has dominated the industry in India for several years and accounts for some 93% of the countrys total fabric production. The preferences and protections accorded to this sector by the government, however, are being 109 eliminated now to give way for integrated players in the organized sector, which will be able to modernize and improve the quality of the weaving sector and give the industry a major boost.

Cotton abundance India is the third largest producer of cotton, with the largest area under cultivation, in the world. Since cotton is the key raw material for the textile industry, India enjoys an advantage as a producer of low cost raw material compared to other countries. Low-cost skilled labour In developed countries, the average cost of labour in weaving is around 39% of the Manufacturing costs of a finished product, which is substantially higher than the labour cost in India. Labour costs in India are some of the lowest in the world. Indias lower labour costs give the Indian textile industry an edge. Designing skills and Fashion capabilities It is generally difficult to forecast the demand for garments on a global basis, and Buyers therefore prefer to place small orders tied to seasonal trends. Order flow in the Industry depends upon the ability of manufacturers to recommend design changes that match trends in the marketplace. Skilled designers play an important role by analysing existing trends and creating new designs to suit the preferences of end users. Indias ability to effectively translate the latest fashion trends into final products gives the Indian textile industry an edge over other countries.

Fabric Production Since 1999, the proportion of man-made fibers in Indias total fabric production has continually increased. Total production of different types of fabric along with their growth rates are shown in the following table: THE GARMENT INDUSTRY The garment industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India. This industry is structurally a labour-intensive, low wage industry with some variations across market segments. Pricing in the industry depends upon the extent of value addition in the end product, the more the value addition the higher per unit price realization. The competitive advantage of companies in this market segment is related to their ability to create designs that capture tastes and preferences, and even better influence such tastes and preferences in addition to cost effectiveness. This industry has also seen a significant amount of relocation of production and outsourcing to lower-cost producers. The size of the Indian textile and clothing market is currently estimated to be US$46 billion. The domestic market accounts for approximately US$30 billion and the export market is approximately US$16 billion.

infrastructure, which allow to provide quality services to customers in India and abroad. BRFL currently employ over 5,800 people. With current manufacturing capacity, we can produce some 50 million meters of fabric and 12 million garments annually.
Nature of business BRFL is a vertically integrated company engaged in the manufacture of a variety of fabrics and garments at modern production facilities. Manufacture of Woven Fabric For nearly two decades BRFL have been manufacturing woven fabric. BRFL currently have weaving machines at three locations: the village of Sonale in Thane district, Navi Mumbai and Silvassa. These facilities manufacture woven fabric (both shirting and suiting) of different varieties using cotton, man-made fibres and their blends. All of these manufacturing facilities use modern, imported technology. In addition to the weaving machines, BRFL have also invested in and installed at plants modern preparatory machines used for winding, sizing, and direct and sectional warping. The table below lists some of BRFL manufacturing equipment. Procurement of Grey Yarn and Yarn Dyeing BRFL purchase grey yarn from various suppliers, depending on the order volume for the manufacture of woven fabric. After procurement, the yarn is inspected for quality and stored in the warehouse. BRFL use grey or dyed yarn depending on the nature of the orders receives. If the yarn needs to be dyed, BRFL currently outsource that process.
PRESIDENCY COLLEGE
Sizing and Warping
Some man-made warp yarns are sized to improve their strength and to minimize breakage before weaving. The threads are compressed to the proper size as they pass between rollers and then dried with large, steam heated cylinders. Warping is a process by which yarn is assembled onto a beam to be used on weaving machines. BRFL use humidification plants to eliminate excess heat and provide humidity in the weaving sections.
Weaving and Grey Fabric Inspection
After warping, the beam is put on the weaving machines, which produce woven fabric. The fabric produced by weaving is grey in nature and is not suitable for garment production or for any other purpose. It has to be processed further to give it both an attractive look and stability. BRFL inspect the grey fabric and mend blemishes wherever required. Afterwards, BRFL pack the fabric and send it to the process house.
Fabric Processing and Finished Fabric Checking BRFL Integrated Facility contains a modern process house, which has facilities for washing, bleaching, mercerising, printing, dyeing, calendaring, treating brightness, shrinkage and wrinkling. After such processing, the fabric is sent to the packing units, where it is reinspected for quality and then packed and dispatched.
PRESIDENCY COLLEGE
Procurement of fabric Depending on the customer order and design, determine the appropriate fabric and fabric source and assess the quantity required, based the consumption of fabric per garment. This assessment is made by a team of skilled professionals. Most of the fabric BRFL use comes from integrated manufacturing facility in Bangalore. Depending on demand, BRFL also may source grey fabric from the local market or finished fabrics from overseas markets. Fabric Checking The procured fabric is checked for both quality and quantity with the aid of machines that help to visualise the extent of any damage that may have been caused to the fabric and to minimise waste. The fabric is then approved by the quality control department, which ensures that the fabric matches the specifications stipulated by the production/design department. Fabric accessories are also thoroughly checked for damage and defects. Fabric Cutting and Garment Stitching The fabric is laid on a cutting table and then plotted according to the specific patterns using CAD/CAM machinery. The system ensures optimum usage of fabric, keeping cutting wastage at a minimum level. After plotting, the fabric is cut by cutting machines. The component parts of the shirt are then labelled for identification of size and shade. This process is known as sorting. The sorted fabric is then bundled and sent for fusing of the three main components, collars, cuffs and plackets. The collars and cuffs are then attached to the main body of the shirt,
completing the first stage. Then buttonholes are made and the buttons are attached. This is performed with the help of specialized machinery. After the manufacturing process is completed, the finishing process begins. The shirt is manually checked for loose threads and other blemishes. BRFL also use thread-removal machines, which vacuum loose, superfluous thread from the shirt. Final Inspection All the garments BRFL manufacture are subjected to stringent quality control measures to ensure that every piece is manufactured in accordance with the order specifications and requisite quality standards. A separate quality assurance department is solely responsible for ensuring that all finished goods are inspected and free from defects and stitched according to specification. Any piece that varies from acceptable limits is rejected. Finishing and packing After the products pass the quality inspection, they are then folded as specified in the fold diagrams given to the factory. The necessary folding accessories, such as stiffeners, colour inserters and barcodes, are inserted, and the products are then packed in appropriately sized vinyl zipper bags. The packaged pieces are placed in cartons for shipping. In some cases, the goods are bulk-packed and shipped.

Area of Operations
Bombay Rayon Fashions Limited (BRFL) is Indias foremost, vertically integrated textile group, engaged in the manufacture, exports and retail of high-end designer ranges of fabrics and garments. BRFL enjoys a strong presence across the entire value chain of yarn dyeing, weaving, fabric processing, design, garment manufacturing and retail. The Company owns 13 manufacturing facilities, including 1 sampling unit across the country.
Opening of overseas offices

BRFL first wholly owned subsidiary was incorporated in the Netherlands under the trade name of BRFL Europe B.V. BRFL Europe B.V. has a showroom in Almere, which mainly caters to the needs of European customers.
BRFL intend to open more overseas offices to make products more readily available and accessible to customers. BRFL strategy is to give overseas buyers the comfort and benefit of dealing with a company with an international presence.
Competition
In the domestic market we face competition from other corporate textile companies and from businesses that have capacity in fibres (natural and manmade), yarn (spinning and text rising), weaving, processing (yarns and fabrics) and garments but which do not have a vertically integrated capacity in all areas (the "Non-Corporate Sector"). There are many medium and small size units manufacturing synthetic
blended/cotton fabrics in India. BRFL products face competition from this large number of fabrics manufacturers in the Non-Corporate Sector. Further, in the free trade regime phased in by the Agreement on Textile and Clothing, there has been intense competition in the international markets. Mexico, Turkey and Eastern Europe benefit from their proximity to main target markets of the U.S. and Europe and have the ability to deliver products to these customers in shorter turnaround times. Here competitive strengths are significantly lower labour costs in India and our economies of scale.
BRFL also face competition from manufacturers in other cost efficient supplier countries such as China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. BRFL are able to compete more effectively with such countries due to quick turnaround times supported by in-house sampling capabilities. BRFL intend to meet and overcome this competition through product differentiation (offering a value added, design based product in the mid-to-high end market segment), establishing state-of-the-art facilities across the textile chain (from weaving to processing to garmenting), and expanding into home textiles (an area of potential growth in the free trade regime). BRFL Marketing and Sales BRFL Customers BRFL fabric customers include leading garment exporters in India, leading garment makers in the overseas markets, domestic garment manufacturers, domestic wholesalers and traders, and retailers. In addition, have developed a strong network of marketing agents who sell fabrics to various small sized units and traders, thereby ensuring greater
penetration of the retail market. BRFL garment customers include top brands from the U.S. and Europe.

Garments-Exports
Domestic Sale of Fabrics to Readymade Garment Manufacturers/Exporters This is a fast growing market segment for the sale of fabrics. The fabric is custom-made for garment manufacturers/exporters. These are often bulk and repeat orders. In many cases, once the exporters have approved the fabric, they refer the manufacturers directly to company for their orders.

CHAPTER 2 ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

According to Waterman, organization change is not simply a matter of structure, although structure is significant variable in the management of change. Again it is also not a simple relationship between strategy and structure, although strategy is also a critical aspect. In their view effective organizational change may be understood to be a complex relationship between strategy, structure, system, style, skills & shared values. The first three elements-strategy, structure &system are considered the "hardware" of success. The next four style skills, staff, and shared values are called the "software". BRFL STRATEGY:
1. To strengthen the fabric business in order to have full control of entire fabric supply chain- from yarn dyeing, weaving to processing of fabrics. They intend to achieve this through implementation of new project facilities. This would not only help them to achieve total quality control at
each stage, it would enable them to cut out delays in delivery of fabrics to their garment units. These apart there stress on building & enhancing their design capabilities enables them to present their own collections & offer total package solutions to the customers. 2. To rapidly expand garments capacity to meet the growing opportunity in the market place and in the process actively consumes 30-50% of their own production of fabric.
3. Position there selves in the mid to high end garment segment such that they enhance their acceptance and improve their capabilities to meet the stringent compliance stipulated by such customers once this is achieved, entering the commodity market would pose little difficulty.
4. BRFL marketing and selling strategy
BRFL have positioned company in a reasonably strong position in all the business segments in which operate due to quality, consistency, pricing and delivery schedules. BRFL customer profile for fabrics include leading garment exporters in India. Leading garment makers in the overseas markets, domestic garment manufactures, domestic
wholesalers and traders and retailers. In addition, BRFL have developed a strong network of marketing agents who sell fabrics to various small sized units and traders thereby ensuring greater penetration of markets. As far as garment customers go, top labels in garments in the European and US markets are on our customer list.

A functional structure is well uniting to organizations which have a single or dominant core product because each subunit becomes extremely adept at performing its particular portion of the process. The organization is structured according to functional areas instead of product lines. The functional structure groups specialize in similar skills in separate units. This structure is be t used when creating specific, uniform product they are economically efficient, but lack flexibility. Communication between functional areas can become efficient if there is proper coordination between HR, Customer Service & Operation, IT, Finance, Sales and Marketing team etc

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
The production floor does production in two types, once during pilot production where they have o produce about 150- 200 garments for the new style this will take about 40-55 days.
The production floor will receive the details like: arment
After receiving all these details they send a request for the cut parts from the cutting and sorting sections and request is sent to the accessories stores for all the accessories that are required for the particular style then they start the production for the new style.
PRESIDENCY COLLEGE
58
Before starting the proper production the production floor does a process of batch setting for the floor which is training the operators for the new style that has to be produced bulk, this teaching session will go on for about 3-4 days maximum. After this batch setting process the production for the next day starts with a smaller commitment that is may be for 50 pieces for the entire day and then production gradually increases from 50-100-150 and so on. This will make the operators learn slowly and precisely about the processes that has to be carried out for the particular style.
Once the cut part is received from the cutting and sorting section then the parts are prepared and assembled according to the line that is planned. After the assembling of the parts is done then there will be a line checking, where the shade matching and measurement are checked and sent During the process of garment meeting exist 2 types of checking they are:
process checking here there exist both AQL audit and normal checking
The garment making is divided into three different stages and at these three stages checking is done.
The flow of material in the production floor is through the bundle system and each operator gets a bundle containing similar pieces and there will be about 50-20 pieces in each bundle and the operator completely finishes the job and sends it to the next operator to do the next operation
on them. Each bundle will contain same components of different garments. The movement of materials within the operators in the batch or line is generally zigzag motion which is followed. The checking person will be present at a position where the garment is partially finished and its mentioned checked thrice in the line and sometimes more than three and this depends on the buyer as well as the number off components present in the garment
RISKS AND CONCERNS

As the Company gets into the expansion mode in a competitive environment, it is bound to undertake risks as it capitalizes on several new opportunities. The Company ensures that the risks it assumes are commensurate with better returns.
Economic Risk The business is substantially affected by the prevailing economic conditions in India. Factors that may adversely affect the Indian economy and in turn the business include slowdown in GDP growth, rise in interest rates, inflation, changes in tax, trade, fiscal and monetary policies, etc. However, given the estimate of at least 8% growth in the economy till 2010, rising per capita disposable income, burgeoning consumer spending, rapid change in consumer preference towards high-end, value added products and increased organized retail penetration with global majors sourcing from and setting up base in India, the Company does not expect to be significantly affected by this risk.
PRESIDENCY COLLEGE
60
Labour Risk
This risk arises from being a labour intensive business and consequently being exposed to the vagaries of the work force.
India is one of the cheapest countries in the world in terms of labour cost. Over the years, the Company has had no history of labour disputes. All of its units enjoy cordial industrial relations. Thus, the Company feels that the risk is substantially mitigated, if not completely.
Fashion Risk This risk arises as the Company is in the fashion business where designs have a short shelf life.
BRFL has an in-house Design Unit where a team of designers come out with 5 new designs on a daily basis, based on current fashion trends in the domestic and international market. The Company has a lower lead time of 60 days in comparison to the industry average of 90 days, which for fast track delivery is even lower at 30 days. BRFLs manufacturing diversity implies that machines are compatible with a wide variety of fabrics including cotton, nylon, and polyester, linen and blends, thus always retaining full capacity. These hedges against changing trends in fashion. BRFL also works closely with its customers. Thus, the Company believes it has sufficient mitigation in place.
PRESIDENCY COLLEGE
61
Currency Risk This risk arises from the exposure to foreign currency and the volatility associated with the underlying currencies.
The Company follows the normal prudence of hedging it receivables. Short order lead times also protect the Company from the effects of currency fluctuations. Further, BRFL is working towards reducing contract cycles as well as the cost of production. Simultaneously, the Company is entering into forward contracts and increasing prices and raw material imports as measures to mitigate currency risk.
Competition Risk This risk arises from more players wanting a share in the same pie.
The textile and apparel industry in India is growing at a fast pace. With the phase-out of the quota system since 1st January 2011 and the incentives given by the Government, the industry has become even more competitive. BRFL has generated considerable brand goodwill in the market. The Companys significant market share, long-term relationships with clients, high productivity, low labour costs, short lead time, manufacturing flexibility, in-house Design Unit and experienced management team give BRFL a considerable edge over its peers. Significance expansion of capacities is also in the pipeline. The Company is also moving up the value chain by offering higher value added products, thus differentiating itself from its competition. Hence, BRFL believes that this risk is sufficiently mitigated.
PRESIDENCY COLLEGE
62
Concentration Risk This risk arises from excessive dependence on any customer or segment for business. The Companys client base consists of garment manufacturers, retailers and dealers in the domestic market as well as reputed international buying houses and retailers in the overseas market. No buyer accounts for more than 10% of the Companys sales. Besides, BRFLs multimarket, multi segment presence mitigates the risk of downturn in demand from any particular market or segment. Thus, the Company does not expect to be significantly affected by this risk. Concerns like shortage of skilled manpower and technological obsolescence remain. However, these are threats faced by the entire industry. With superior methodologies and innovative processes and systems, the Company is well positioned to lead a high growth path. Internal control systems and their adequacies
The Companys well defined organizational structure, documented policy guidelines, defined authority matrix and internal controls ensure efficiency of operations, compliance with internal policies and applicable laws and regulations as well as protection of resources. Moreover, the Company continuously upgrades these systems in line with the best available practices. The internal control system is supplemented by extensive internal audits, regular reviews by management and standard policies and guidelines to ensure reliability of financial and all other records to prepare financial statements and other data.

Discussion on financial performance Material developments in human resources Human resources are an integral and important part of any organization. One of the key pillars of the Companys Success has been its people. BRFL has always recognized the importance of human capital and valued it highly. The Company has put in place sound policies for the growth and progress of its employees. Lot of emphasis and efforts are made to create a working environment that will encourage innovation, enhance work satisfaction and build a merit driven organization. The Companys human resource vision is to create a committed workforce through people enabling processes and knowledge sharing practices based upon its value system. As on 31st March 2008, BRFL consolidated had 24,233 employees on its payrolls. Cautionary statement Statements in the Management Discussion and Analysis describing the Company's objectives, projections, estimates, expectations may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied. Important factors that could make a difference to the Companys operations include economic conditions affecting demand/supply and price conditions in the domestic and overseas markets in which the Company operates changes in Government regulations, tax laws, statute and other incidental factors.
