INTRODUCTION

The Raymond Group was incorporated in 1925 and within a span of few years, transformed
from being an Indian textile major to a global conglomerate. The Raymond Limited was established
in September 1925 to acquire the Woolen Mills in Thane known as WADIA WOOLEN MILLS;
it was managed by E. D. Sassoon & Co. Until November 1944 when the entire shareholding was
acquired by JAGGILAL KAMALPATSINGHANIA of Kanpur, subsequently J. K. Trust Bombay,
acted as managing agents. There after the name was changed to Raymond Woolen Mills Limited.
In late 1994, the ―Raymond Woolen Mills‖ was changed to Raymond Limited.
Traditional product lines were discounting. High quality becomes a number of watchwords
and the diversification program got head start. Non-traditional blends of natural and manmade
fabrics were introduced back by sound research & Development. This resulted in greater consumer
satisfaction both at home and abroad. The idea of J& K was to develop an organization with a
diversified product line. Over the year the organization grew in structure and nature. To facilitate
better involvement of the top management in the organization effort, the J. K.
Organization was divided into three zones i.e., Western, Central and Eastern. The Raymond
Limited in Chhindwara is a part of Western zone. Raymond Limited has five divisions comprising
of Textiles, Denim, Engineering Files & Tools, Aviation and Designer Wear. Raymond Textile is
India's leading producer of worsted suiting fabric with over 60% market share. With a capacity of
25 million meters of wool & wool-blended fabrics, Raymond Textiles is the world‘s third largest
integrated manufacturer. The company exports it‘s suiting to more than 50 countries including

development, which has resulted in path-breaking new products. Perceived as pioneer and
innovator, Raymond Textile has been responsible for raising the standard of the Indian textiles
industry.

Production Department
The production operations at our plant are coordinated by the PRODUCTION
PLANNING & CONTROL department. Its role is to gather information of all stock at various
stages and communicate with the different departments; so that production activities are
synchronized. We have six months order in advance and divide the production activities bi-
annually in unison with the market, and our JALGAON and THANE units.
First in the sequence is the RAW MATERIAL GODOWN where the basic inputs procured
are stored, accounted for and intimated to the COMMERCIAL department. The first stage of
processing is DYEING. According to a dyeing plan set by the production planners, the dyeing
department is issued tops. Fabrics and yarn produced at further stages which are grey or do not
have the desired pigmentation are also dyed.
Some polyester is procured in the form of tows. These are cut and converted into sliver
form and converted into tops in the CONVERTER section. The material is sent back to the raw
material godown from where it is sent to the dyeing department. Only after a perfect match with
standard shades are the tops sent to the RECOMBING department.
In the Recombing department tops of polyester and wool in sliver form are blended and
mixed to produce a uniform sliver (65% polyester & 35% wool). The processing ensures that
fiber is untangled. Straightened and parallel.
All there Tops (polyester and wool) are sent for spinning in the WORSTED SPINNING
department. The function of spinning is to form yarn fiber. The yarn made is wound on a bobbin
and is called cheese.
*Tops – roll of sliver
*Tow – roll of continuous film or filament of fiber
*Sliver – fiber in a rope like form.
 Simultaneously polyester and viscose fiber is dispatched from the dyeing department and
raw material godown (grey i.e. Undyed) to the blowroom or P/V SPINNING department where
it is mixed in proportion (67% polyester and 33% viscose). This mix is transformed into sliver
in the carding section which further processes and produces a poly-viscose yarn.
All yarn is stored for intermediate purpose in a DOUBLE YARN ROOM from here the
yarn is issued to warping section of the WEAVING department. At this stage yarn is woven into
fabric. In the MENDING department this fabric is under scrutiny for any defects to be identified
and removed. Every meter of fabric produced is checked.
The next stage of processing is the FINISHING department. Fabric is washed cleaned and
subjected to mechanical / chemical operations with the aim of giving the fabric a smooth regular
texture, luster and anti-creasing effect. In the FOLDING department, finished fabric is cut to
proper length, wound and packed properly.
In addition to this we have a PLUSH department where we manufacture FURNISHING

SAP Department
SAP is kind of ERP package. ERP stands for Entrepreneur Resource Planning. This is a
software package used for planning, organizing and coordination the resources available in the

1. Material Management

2. Financial Accounting

3. Production Planning

4. Quality Control

6. Human resource management

Any document consisting of data related to the above stated module is feeded in the
system is called as transaction. All the users of the system, which are mainly the department
head are given the password and login name to access the system.

SAP initially was developed in German language. The 5 employees of IBM developed
it in the year 1972.

Initially Raymond used only one module for financial accounting and the utility
efficiency and the speedy decision-making lead to the application of other modules. All
the modules are interring – related and the changes made in data of 1 module get updated
in all the other modules. There is a master data for each of the module. The modules are
provided in the package but if needed is felt new modules can be developed and the
collection of programs can be attached.

Information with similar links is kept in the same module. This shows the adaptation of
new technological innovations by Videocon to improve efficiency and minimize the time
factor.
