First of all I would like to thank the supreme authority of the universe. Internship was an exclusive instance of my professional life that I passed and enjoyed.

Jarious training programmed pertaining to training of workforceL textile related topics have helped in enhancing the overall performance of the textile companies. In order to get increased productivity from workforce it is essential to have a well framed &- system in the organi*ation. If the principles of &- department are adopted it could result in decrease in non%attendance by 2DI and increase in productivity by 8DI. 3o to cope up with the market competition &- department is very essential element for the textile industry. &-1 department is responsible for developing the feeling of motivation in the employeesL this motivation in other words is the commitment of the employees towards the job and the organi*ation.

>#( ?indings and Analysis: "acific 'eans (td. Is a rapidly expending Company. 3tanding its journey in ::8 it has already doubled the net turnover by the year of 2DD?. All the units of the factory enjoy highly of machinery are imported from .ermany/ 3wit*erland/ Italy 5 'apan. As a result it can maintain a smooth rate of production. Eell trained human recourses are strength of the Company. 0hey train up their key personally in the country and abroad. 3o that the Company can get some competitive advantages over the competitions. 0he &-# practice is also remarkable. 0here are too many departments under the super vision of the general manager which can cause low productivity due to large span of super vision. 3tarting only in ::8/ it has managed to be grown up as one of the countryNs leading 0extile Company. Its increase turnover has been significantly increasing/ since 2DD8%2DD?. It is providing employment to a large number of skilled and unskilled people all over the country. 0he Company contributed an amount of taka 8;.>:2 million to the national exchequer in different forms like Cooperate Income 0ax/ Advance Income 0ax/ Acise/ Jat/ Import 1uties/ 0axes/ .overnment 0axes/ 3tamp 1uties/ (icense Fees etc. 0he Company contributed substantially to the Foreign Axchange -eserve of the country through its export marketing operation. In 2DD;its net export earning was taka D2 .8<> million.

@#( Reco00endation: Introduction of new technologies and processes in the textile industry have increased productivity on the one hand/ but had been the cause of redundancy and eventual retrenchment for a lot of workers who used to work in repetitive/ boring but labor intensive job in this particular sector. 0his condition is happening not only in developing countries like India/ "akistan/ ,angladesh etc. but in industriali*ed countries as well/ which were able to increase productivity through developments in technology.

From the analysis with the organi*ation structure we have seen that its span of super vision is too large. A number of departments report directly to the general manager. If the number were less the efficiency and productivity of the organi*ation might be increased.

Kuality control department should remain prompt always. 3o that it can maintain a certain level of standard as per the market demand to capture the foreign market share it should strive more.

0here are four elements of production namely manpower/ time/ materials and machines. 1ue to globali*ation seen in the textile industry out of these four elements of production/ the two vi*. manpower and time are to be cut down/ i.e.

8? ! " a g e

sacrificed as the invent of improved machines and the cost of materials. 1ue to the modern &- practices are affected by terms such as multi skilled/ production measures/ advantages of competition/ casual labor/ social security/ subcontracting/ etc. )ow%a%days a lot depends on the bargaining power of the labor/ legal policies and the scenario of the labor market. 0his has started since the foundation of E0@ 4Eorld trade organi*ation6. '(#( &onclusion: ,angladesh is in the ready garments industries since :<> and it boomed in the mid of :D=s. In this sector here 2?%8D million peoples are directly or indirectly involved. 0hese peoples are simply lying on the top of ? million garments workers whose are working in this sector from dawn to dust and to some extent working till the mid of night In ,angladesh :DI workers are female and they are simply coming from the rural area. )ow keeping themselves staying in this sector they have to live in the slum area where living cost is the cheapest. 0hey are taking the low cost food/ free schooling for their children if any stays with the mother. 0hey can not afford that much as they are getting the minimum wages from their works. 0hey are the efficient workers in the world. 0he wages they are getting that is based on the local market standard. ,ut the ,uyers are paying too low prices that no owner can pay more than that. 3ome of the factory owners can pay better/ but they won=t like to pay more as they don=t want to make the market mess in long run.

)ow a days the buyers are paying attention on compliance of the garments factories where the workers are the part of the compliances. ,ut this sort of compliances won=t make any better result unless the owners of the factories get higher price from the buyers and pay higher salary to their workers. 0o implement higher wages for the workers the buyers can add the cost breakdown of the C# 4cutting 5 #aking6 where one need to mention clearly the cost of making this garment and wages that workers will get. 3o better earning can improve better living and better health to make better works. 8< !

0he development of any industry requires combined efforts and co%operation from several parties. 3ocial/ political and macroeconomic environment play pivotal role in this regard. 0hough "acific 'eans is a newly Jentured Company in the respective sector/ its growth and expansion is praiseworthy.
