Interloop was quick to show solidarity to its countrymen struck by this great catastrophe and
immediately chalked out a plan to set up a “Tent Village” in Muzzaffarabad to ease the suffering of the
victims.
Chattar Kalas Kohala, Muzzaffarabad
was selected as the appropriate site
because of its proximity to water
supply, easy road access and
availability of electricity. Interloop has
been fortunate in this noble cause, as
many local and international
organisations stepped forward to help Interloop establish this facility which was designed to
accommodate 1500 people.
Caritis, a French Organization collaborated with Interloop to install a state-of-the-art clean water
supply system. This facility also included pore flush toilets, showers and laundry slabs which were
constructed with the help of OXFAM. Food was provided with the help of WFP. UNHCR donated
bedding and health related arrangements were made in collaboration with WHO and UNICEF. Interloop
was also running a school with the help of UNICEF. Keeping in view its overall plan and facilities, it
was declared a "Model Tent Village" by UNHCR.
SOS Children's Village:
Our Company's Social Investment Programme aims to support activities in the areas of education,
health, community development and environment, dedicated to the welfare of underprivileged members
of our society. As part of this programme, Interloop has been supporting the SOS Children's Village in
Faisalabad for the past 7 years by building a cottage at the SOS Village
that provides complete housing facility to approximately 10 children.
In our efforts for continuous development, we encouraged our European
Client, Dobotex to build a major Community Centre at the SOS Village
and assisted them in completion of this project. The Community Centre
caters to the needs of nearly 150 orphaned and/or abandoned children and is designed to
accommodate events such as weddings, stage plays and annual functions. Currently Dobotex in
collaboration with our Company is constructing a Youth Home, which
premises to facilitate female employees. During the working hours, their children are being pampered

Suggestions
Interloop is a vertical unit, who believe in continuous improvement, the following are some
main suggestion to finance department.
Administratively, the building of finance department should be separate and valued suited,
so the working of employees becomes easy.
The strength of the employees is low as compare to the working and job responsibilities, that
way the most of the time, officers not available for each other which Is good for the health
of the employees, the strength should be increase
The sub division of department is no doubt good, but there still need to formulate
The company is moving toward the 5S- techniques, but finance department is to slow to
manage and implement the 5s- techniques. My suggestion is to increase the strength or
delegate and make responsibility of every officer to update and mange its working place as
per 5S- techniques.
Technically the division of work is good but the person handing to these has no training to
reduce the job related stress.
Ergonomics is one key to keep the worker health good, but there is environment which is not
comfortable so the my opinion is to introduce the techniques of Ergonomics
The business world is fast moving and improving world so the department has a cell how
inform the upcoming techniques and procedure to enhancement.
There is no display of foreign exchange and connectivity with the Stock Exchange. Which is
a key, to finance improvement of every business my opinion is to make the department
arrangement and then have display showing index number and other detail of the foreign
Exchange and stock Exchange.
Record keeping is not suitable and fit for audit concern and the audit team always faces
difficulty while collecting the data to be audited.
The software is in good and competitive but the hardware is not up-to-date, my opinion to
introduce the LCD listed of monitor.
What's Happening?
Interloop is not only the largest Socks Manufacturer in South Asia, it is also the one which delivers the
highest quality. We are in continuous pursuit of excellence. In order to retain and consolidate our
position as an important global player, we are enhancing our capacities, investing to improve our
efficiency and adding backward integration.

CROSS-SECTIONAL ANALYSIS:
An analysis of several firms in the same industry at a point in time.
We are going to use time series analysis of a firm using different ratios.
LIQUIDITY RATIO
A comparison of current assets with current liabilities gives an indication of the short-term debt-paying
ability of the entity. Several comparisons can be made to determine this ability;
1.1. Working capital:
The working capital of businesses is an indication of the short-run solvency of the business.
Interpretation
The inventory as reported may be much less than its replacement cost, the difference between the
reported inventory amount and the replacement amount is normally material.
The current working capital amounts are always compared with past amount to determine if working
capital is reasonable.
Comments
Working capital increased which shows that there is an increase in
Interpretation
A comparison with industry average should be made to determine the
typical current ration for similar firm’s .in some industries, a current
ratio substantially below 2.00 is adequate .in general, the shorter the
operating cycle, the lower the current ratio wise versa.
Comments
Higher the ratio greater the ability to pay current liabilities which shows

Rupee Rupee Rupee Rupee
Interpretation
Interpretation
Absolute liquid ratio lays down very strict and exacting standard of
liquidity; therefore, acceptable norm of this ratio is 50 percent. It
means absolute liquid assets worth one half of value the current
liabilities are sufficient for satisfactory liquid positions of a business.
Comments
The absolute ratio in this case is 0.075 which is better as compared to
rule of thumb standards which is 0.50.
Another ratio that is useful is the sale to working capital ratio; in addition, there may be L8IQuidity
considering that is not on the face of the statements.
SUBMITTED TO MOHI-UD DIN ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY
Sale to Working capital (working Capital Turnover ratio):
Relating sales to working capital gives an indication o the turnover in working capital per year.
Sales to working Capital = Sales /Average working Capital
Particulars 2011 2010 2009 2008
Rupee Rupee Rupee Rupee
Net Sale 14,114,654,216 10618085875 8647,863,371 614.0220,989
Working Capital 264,471,0069 14,618,522 431,81976 468,824,028
Sales to working Capital Ratio 53.32% 72.63% 200.26% 131.13%
Interpretation
A low working capital turnover ratio tentatively indicates an unprofitable
use of working capital. In other words, sales re not adequate relation to
the available working capital. A high ratio tentatively indicate that the
firm is undercapitalized (overtrading)
Comments
The above ration indicates a good trend o the company.

This ratio gives a measure of net income Rupees generated by each
Rupee of sales. While it is desirable for this ratio to be high, competitive
forces within an industry ,economic conditions ,use of debt financing ,and
operating characteristic such as high fixed costs will cause the net profit
margin to vary between and whining industries.

2.4 Return on Assets:
Return on assts measure the firm’s ability to utilize its
assets to create profit by comparing profits with the
assets that generate the profit.
Return on Assets = Net profit before Interest and tax
Average Total Assets
Comments
The company is using not more then 6% and not less then 1%

2.6 Sales to Fixed Assts
This ratio measure the firm’s ability to make productive use of its
property plant and equipment by generating sales this ratio may not be
meaningful because of old fixed assts or a labor-intensive industry. In
these cases, the ratio is substantially higher because of the low fixed
assts base.

other operating expenses with net sales.
Operating Ratio = cost of goods sold + operating Expenses ×100

Interpretation
The ratio is a test of the efficiency of the management is their
business operation. It is a mean of operating efficiency.
Comments
In normal conditions, the operating ratio should be low enough so as to
leave portion of the sale s sufficing to give a fair return to the investors.
Lower the operating ratio, the better is the positions because greater is
the profitability and management efficiency of the concern. The higher
the ratio, the less favorable is the situations, because there will be
smaller margin of profit available for the purchase of payment of
dividend and creation of reserves.
2.10 Expense ratio:
Expense ratios are calculated to ascertain the relationship that
exits between operating expenses and volume of sales.
1. Distribution cost
Distribution cost ratio = Distribution cost ×100
Net Sale
3. Finance Cost
Finance Cost ratio = Finance Cost ×100
Net sale
Comments
The company is not much more depend on its shareholders equity, the
ratio is not more then 1% instead of 2011
Solvency is the term which is used to describe the financial position of any business which is capable
to meet outside obligations in full out of its own assets. So this ratio
establishes relationship between total liabilities and total assets.
Comments
The company reverse to capital ratio is not more the 3% which is
indication that the reveres are kept while considering the future
change in money value.
3.5Proprietary Ratio:
Proprietary ratio (also known s equity Ratio of net worth to total assets or
shareholders equity to total equity) Establishes relations between proprietor’s
funds to total resources of the unit. Where proprietor’s funds refer to
Equity share capital and Reserves, surplus and total resources refer to
total assets.
Proprietary Ratio = Total Equity

W: 2 Total Assets
Comments
This computation compares the total debt with the total shareholders‟ equity. The
debt/equity ratio also helps determine how well creditors are protected in case of
insolvency. From the prospect of long-term debt-paying ability, the lower this ratio,
the better the company‟ debt positions as in case of the interloop Limited.
3.7Debt to Tangible Net Worth ratio:
The debt to tangible net worth ratio also determines the entity’s
long term debt-paying ability. This ratio also indicates how well
creditors are protected in case of the firm’s insolvency
Debt to Tangible Net Worth ratio = Total liabilities
Shareholders’ Equity – intangible Assets
Comments
The debt to tangible net worth ratio is a more conservative ratio
than either the debt ratio or the debt/ equity ratio. It eliminates
intangible assets such as goodwill, trademarks, etc. so the ratio should
be more authentic; in 2009 company have sum ratio more then 5%.

5. Activity Ratios:
W: 1 Average inventory
Average accounts
Receivable(W:1)
Receivable Turnover Ratio 7.07% 3.17% 5.49% −
Receivables turnover ratio has another variant i.e. Average Collection Period which gives a
time period in which debtors are converted into cash. Both the ratios indicate same thing but
in different terms. The former is expresses no. of times debtors are converted into cash in a
financial year whereas the latter gives no. of days or months in which the debtors are
converted into cash.
Interpretation:
For better trade credit management, it is obviously desirable to realize the money as soon as
possible because the money which is blocked in the debtors has a cost of interest attached to
it whose driver is „Time‟. If time to realize the money from debtors is more, the cost is also
higher and vice versa. Low debtor‟s turnover ratio directly insists on higher working capital
requirements and therefore higher interest cost which decreases profits of the firm.
Comments
What is desirable - A higher or a lower receivable turnover ratio?
The general rule of life i.e. „balance‟ is even applicable here. Neither too high, nor too low
of this ratio is advisable. Let‟s see the implications of both the ends.
Very Low Receivable / Debtor’s Turnover Ratio: This is easy to understand. Low receivable
turnover ratio means higher collection period. It gives an impression of wrong choice of
debtors or insufficient efforts to collect the cash.
Very High Receivable / Debtor’s Turnover Ratio: It would seems little contradictory to say
that even very high receivable turnover ratio is not good. Very high ratio hints of the very
tight credit policy of the firm.
Working capital turnover ratio indicates the velocity of the utilization of net working capital.
This ratio represents the number of times the working capital is turned over in the course of year and
is calculated as follows:
Interpretation
The two components of the ratio are cost of sales and the net working capital. If the information about
cost of sales is not available the figure of sales may be taken as the numerator. Net working capital
is found by deduction from the total of the current assets the total of the current liabilities.
Comments
The working capital turnover ratio measures the efficiency with which the working capital is being used
by a firm. A high ratio indicates efficient utilization of working capital and a low ratio indicates
otherwise. But a very high working capital turnover ratio may also mean lack of sufficient working
capital which is not a good situation.
SWOT Analysis
SWOT analysis (alternately SLOT analysis) is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the
Strengths, Weaknesses/Limitations, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business
venture.
It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and
external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve that objective. The technique is credited
to Albert Humphrey, who led a convention at Stanford University in the 1960s and 1970s using data
from Fortune 500 companies.
The aim of any SWOT analysis is to identify the key internal and external factors that are important to
achieving the objective. These come from within the company's unique value chain. SWOT analysis
groups key pieces of information into two main categories:
The following diagram shows how a SWOT analysis fits into a strategic situation analysis.

SWOT Matrix
SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Strengths and weaknesses are
internal factors.
Strength:
A firm's strengths are its resources and capabilities that can be used as a basis for developing a
competitive advantage.
Any other aspect of your business that adds value to your product or service.

Opportunities and threats are external factors the external environmental analysis may reveal
T hreats
Changes in the external environmental also may present threats to the firm.
To develop strategies that take into account the SWOT profile, a matrix of these factors can be
constructed. The SWOT matrix (also known as a TOWS Matrix) is shown below:
Strengths Weaknesses
S-O strategies pursue opportunities that are a good fit to the company's strengths.
W-O strategies overcome weaknesses to pursue opportunities.
S-T strategies identify ways that the firm can use its strengths to reduce its vulnerability to
external threats.
W-T strategies establish a defensive plan to prevent the firm's weaknesses from making it
highly susceptible to external threats.
SWOT Profile
A SWOT profile can be generated and used as the basis of goal setting, strategy formulation, and
implementation. The completed SWOT profile sometimes is given as follows:
Strengths Weaknesses

PEST analysis

STEEPLED, adding Ethics and demographic factors. It is a part of the external analysis when
conducting a strategic analysis or doing market research, and gives an overview of the different
macro environmental factors that the company has to take into consideration.
It is a useful strategic tool for understanding market growth or decline, business position, potential
and direction for operations. The growing importance of environmental or ecological factors in the first
decade of the 21St century have given rise to green business and encouraged widespread use of an
updated version of the PEST framework. STEER analysis systematically considers Socio-cultural,
describe a framework for the analysis of these macro environmental factors. A PEST analysis fits into
an overall environmental scan as shown in the following diagram:
P olitical Factors:
Political factors include government regulations and legal issues and define both formal and informal
rules under which the firm must operate.
The political arena has a huge influence upon the regulation of businesses, and the spending power of
consumers and other businesses, Interloop Limited is not much more affected by the political factors
but following are the political factors which are direct or indirectly influence the productivity and
efficiency on the firms are as follows;
Employment laws
Environmental regulations
Political stability
Tax policies
Safety regulations
2. Will government policy influence laws that regulate or tax your business?
6. Is the government involved in trading agreements such as EU, NAFTA, ASEAN, or others?
The political situation of Pakistan is not satisfactory and unstable. Rapid change in the Govt. and the
change of the policies of the previous govt. by the new govt. abruptly effect the Pakistan’s political
situation. Due to these entire factors the foreign investor hesitates to invest in Pakistan. Govt.
should device such policies that are beneficial for the local exporter as well as for the investors.
E conomic Factors:
Economic factors affect the purchasing power of potential customers and the Interloop Limited’s cost of
capital. Marketers need to consider the state of a trading economy in the short and long-terms. This is
especially true when planning for international marketing. Followings are the key Economic Factors for
the firm;

Part IV summing up
FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Interloop Limited never compromise on quality, and always provide in time delivery, due to this
production is increase day by day, production is not increased in quantity, but also with quality. In
Interloop Limited right person is at right place. Every person respect each other senior respect his
juniors. There is cooperative environment. No doubt Interloop Limited is employee oriented
organization and its values are to share and care its human capital in every perspective. Nothing is
perfect in this universe and opportunity of improvement always exists.
At last I give some suggestions to Interloop Limited’s staff of different department with the hoping that
these suggestions also give major contribution in the development of this organization.
Both the departments are working as should they, but following are some recommendations are
1. EHS department should arrange the seminar inside the organizations to give awareness to
the employees about hoe they can manage there health inside and out side the organization,
because the worker spend more time in there home then factory.
2. PI department works on ergonomics, but the work force is not aware of term what does it
mean, so the training of the employees is very necessary.
3. EHS department should give SOP’s of all the relevant safety instruction of the job and
jobs relater hazardous in all deportments to reduce the safety risks.
5. ergonomics ,safety and health are alternatives of each other should be first focus of
the departments
HR & D
Hr dept is the backbone of any organization. It plays role like strategic business partner and define
future human capital dimension in order to meet company strategic objective.
1. I was surprised to see that all work is done in Excel sheet and there is no system which tells us
about how many applications have applied and from which university.
2. We hire candidate who have rich experience in their field, but we offer not attractive designation,
so because many executive are not comfortable with current designation, my idea is to offer proper
designation.
3. Staffing staff is busy to search required CV’s manually and there is no proper record.
4. We should appoint right person with relevant education, but in company practice people are hired who have
bit knowledge about this field.
5. When people apply against any vacancy, after CV’s collecting HR-dept sent all these CV’s to
concerned dept for short listing, it is not fair, actually that dept add their own CV’s and only
those people are short listed for whom concerned dept categorized. In this regard Hr dept should
short listed CV’s after screening on defined criteria.
6. There is influence from every dept directly/indirectly about their concerned person either he/she
has been short listed or not. We should minimize their influence.
7. After orientation phase, there is no follow up and we should arrange meeting with new joiner to
discuss his issues during orientation tenure and take report during defined period.
ADMIN DEPARTMENT
1. Mess menu is very crispy and there is no Varity in mess menu, my suggestion is to review
and add new dishes and add more vegetable with salad.
2. Near executive basin there is no liquid soap only piece of soap is available, this creates
negative impression, and my idea is to place liquid soap.
3. On our mess we should add pictures with message say name of Allah before taking meal.
4. In company buss, staff is busy to discuss political matters and disturb others, in this regard we
admin dept should deliver clear instruction not to discuss political matters inside buss.
5. After taking lunch, we throw bone and others dust on table or on floor, my idea is to
place dust bin near each table, in this way table will be clean and everybody would like to
place bone inside dust bin.
6. There should be table tennis table, news paper and color TV inside mess premises, in this
way employee will feel healthy and will raise cooperation and remove hesitation among top
to bottom staff.
7. On upcoming on stairs, my idea is to add ALLAH -HO-Akbar and Subhan ALLAH poster, in
this way employee will remember ALLAH and get feelings.
8. When any visitor comes in mill for some official purpose, there is no sign board inside mill
which indicate in which dimension he has to move, my idea is to place sign board on which
there is no clear indication about mills, offices and others area.
9. When people comes to take test, there is no clear indication about Interloop Limited on road,
although we have placed sign board on road, but most of the time there is rush on road and
truck are placed on road near sign board,
10. My suggestion is to place separate board with red color which indicate clear dimension.
11. My idea is to place Interloop Limited logo on our new corporate building.
12. There is no similarity between mess menu and services as compared to other division, we
should prepare same menu and same dishes by coordinating, and in this way we can
save company cost and add value.
13. There is rich culture of tea in mills, we should create awareness session that tea is not healthy
for health and arrange doctor session for sugar test and awareness.
14. Worker uniform is nice, but we cannot distinguish who is that person and belong from
which dept, my idea is to print dept name on front or back of uniform.
15. Employees wear there employment card on different side on their front side, some have
placed on button, collar, etc and create very odd impression, my idea is to introduce ribbon
with Interloop Limited logo and name, in this way there will be similarity among employee.
Merchandising
Merchandiser should follow up the order from beginning to end and physically check the order
status at every stage.
Merchandiser also checks the work order that it is according to the customer order sheet.
PPC
PPC should be very careful in making work order, because work order is backbone of order
status
In case of repeat order customer order sheet should check before making the work order.
Toe Closing
Supervisor should carefully check the stitching process, not only depend on aster, in this
way quality will be improved.
Processing
Processing department should be very careful in shade, more qualified person should be appointed
in processing. If processing department control the shade variation problem quality will be improved
and time can be save in packing and pressing department, which is waste due to shade variation.
Packing
1. Target
We can get more production if we give the target to packers, in this way production will be
increased with quality not only with quantity.
2. Incentive
Incentive should be given to those packers who complete the target at time.
P&S DEPARTMENT
Implementing and managing strategic relationship with key supplier, ensuring performance to schedule
of all bought out material and services and achieving cost saving target.
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
1) Our aim to make Interloop Limited world class organization and doing lot of things to achieve,
but office environment specially computer in front of whole team create image like clerk, my
suggestion is to introduce LCD at some level in this way we can change existing IT structure.
4) Company should provide training to its staff so that they can meet their job duties more
efficiently and effectively.
5) There is no vision and mission statement, I was astonished, for this purpose we should
design all these things and Job Description of whole mills and update in system.
6) Executive staffing office creates image like government office, where files are scattered and
there is no arrangement of files, documents and there is no attractive thing in office where
new comer take positive impression on hi face. For this purpose we should re arrange office
internal environment and make cabin for file arrangement.
7) There is no defined Job Description of any body what to do, all job description should
be online and add/delete task after some defined period.
8) Finance office presents image like WAPDA house, where file are scattered and there is
need to arrange file in proper form.
OD DEPARTMENT
Being a leading department it should play a role to enhance the internal and external environment
and aspect to generating the environment. For this purpose OD department should to issue the
employees ideas book every year to get new ideas in different departs and jobs, so and
motivations of the employees and improvement of the company become possible.
