Organization Overview

©Daffodil International University 5

2.1 History of the Organization
FFL is known as one of the leading garment manufacturers and exporters in Bangladesh.
The company was established in 1998 and in a short period of time, FFL has made a
good name and reputation in the market. Providing retailers with a strong presence in
wearable’s, the Company has strengthened its presence in these stores, improving the
brand with the development of high-end products, improving clothes made in
Bangladesh. It is with great pleasure now that the Company has reached the highest level
and trusted by many famous brands of products, leadership, innovation and management.
The company is ready to go to a new level, focusing on the diversity of the environment

2.3 Vision

2.4 Product Quality

In the export market, the supply of quality products is considered the most important
decision for the successful completion of the product. It is generally believed that buyers
do not sacrifice quality products for the price. Therefore, quality products must be
reliable to be competitive in the shipping industry. Company sponsors should always be
committed to quality, design and more of cloth. To produce high quality fabrics, they
must use the appropriate local and foreign materials, the latest brand technology, and hire

©Daffodil International University 6

 experienced and qualified staff. Project quality management requires the tools and
equipment necessary for quality control, in order to obtain high quality products that can
be achieved at all stages of production; otherwise, it will be difficult for the project to
carry out its product on an international scale, unless you have good manners.

2.5 Product Mix and Production Capacity

The annual capacity of the project follows three internships for the Knitwear section and
the Painting and Finishing section and one for changes to the Clothing section in one day

day of 8(eight) hours each shift and working for 300 days in a year both for Knitting and
Dyeing & Finishing unit and Garments section is 10 hours per day at 100% capacity.

2.6 Social Compliances Code of Conduct

The responsibility of the fashion industry is the designer of clothing and cooperation,
both morally and ethically, establishing at the international level social principles and
good corporate practices. He knows and respects racial differences and hires people only
because of their qualifications for the position. We identify and collaborate with
suppliers and customers, who are individuals and practices in their industry, in
accordance with local laws and practices the model is compatible with it. The basis of the
various constraints that make up the code is guided by the following.

 Local legislation

cleaning, etc.), but there are also some issues that require business. These include
ongoing issues such as equality, best value for money, public relations, public groups and
ideological issues such as asylum seekers and refugees.

In general, the Chief Executive Officer, as the Chief Operating Officer, is responsible for
providing the Board with business policy and strategic plans. Sometimes personal
services they are invited to take part in an initiative on issues related. The health care

 The Office of Cooperative Services, as Director of the Office, is responsible for a wide
range of key activities; develops appropriate strategies to address key issues in legislation

2.7 SWOT Analysis

Strengths


Proper Management: An Exclude meeting Employee restricts all workworks
very well; Oversee production from start to finish and assist in delivery as per
customer requirements.
Innovative product line: The line is made to be unique and to use new items of
clothing which is a great symbol for the industry.
Production of Fabrics: Most workers design fabrics according to the customer.

S
O
W
  Effective Manpower: The facilities are well established with professional,
technical and marketing staff. They try their best to deliver on time and provide
100% quality clothing.
 Own land: The factories of FFL Garments Limited are established in their
country.

Weaknesses
 Poor salary structure: Because the industry is still in a difficult position, his
salary the structure is not very good compared to other industries.
 Subordinates absence in policy making: The subordinates do not make any
decisions or participate in the decision-making process during the meeting. The
decision always comes from top management which is motivating.
 Shortage of workers: Because the industry is not so big and the number of
employees is limited, sometimes it becomes really difficult to produce all the
goods in a timely manner and the workload of the workers increases greatly if
there is a large transport.
 Post purchase behaviour: After delivery of the products, employees do not
collect the actual behaviour of the buyers after the purchase, which is really a
negative sign for the sector.

Opportunities

 Attending Trade Fairs: FFL can attend various trade fairs and textiles to gain an
audience attention and can get new ideas related to today's business.
 Hiring dynamic & fresh Graduates: can hire dynamic, young and fresh
graduates who can generate innovative ideas and lead to higher profits.
 Diversification: FFL Garments can expand their business by establishing
factories of yarns, fabrics and sweaters. It will help them minimize the risk.
 Covering UK & USA market: Recently, some foreign countries are very
interested in concluding contracts with FFL, which is very good news. Covering
several market areas in the EU and the US will help the sector to establish itself
quickly.

©Daffodil International University 10

 Threats

 Political imbalance: One of the biggest threats to the FFL is the current political
instability. Strike, postponement, etc. severely impedes the production process.
 Trade barriers: Rising trade barriers and withdrawing the quota system are
major threats to developing industries like FFL.
 Competitor’s smart move: Competing industries are constantly offering
innovative products and replace a product that poses a major threat to this
industry.
 Absence of Spinning Plant: Most of the large garment industries which are well
established have their own spinning plant. As a result, they can sell their product
more cheaply, but FFL has no spinning plants. For this reason their production
cost is high.

FF Garments Ltd:

Over time the products have been well known to those specialized in the clothing
industry. Marketing comes from "goods", which means you buy and sell. The dealer is
the seller. The sale of garments means the purchase of raw materials and accessories to

for delivery of clothes ordered on time

So the trader needs more knowledge and skills to become a global marketer to explore
trustworthy buyers of the product, he should make the decision on the currency price.

punctual suppliers an entrepreneur should have the knowledge and skills-

  Counting of additional materials (thread, buttons, line differences, labels, labels,
front labels, poly bags, if the finished product will be packed in a hanger, then the
bracelet, plastic button, box etc. are optional)
 The fabric needs a cutting command so that the garment has a certain percentage
of waste at the time of cutting.

3.2 Garments trims/ accessories

The quality of the finished product is very important, sometimes the buyer has to choose
the finished supplier who can order for the special order, and the seller will have to get
the approval for some finished first confirms to be used in the final garment. Otherwise,

Preparation of bank payment voucher

Ever since I met the financial services department that I spent in the financial institution,
I have been looking at preparing bank payment receipts. Bank overdrafts are used when
making payments for different types of expenses and withdrawals from corporate bank
accounts. Photo copy of the drawing of the check together with the receipt for payment
by check.

number. The receipt is attached to the bank statement which is the key document FFL
Assessment Industry Review.

Preparation of journal voucher

Emergency newsletters are used when there are no funds or banks involved instead.
Many options for newsletter tickets have been planned. For example, when a product is

payment vouchers can also be used to receive and pay.

Maintaining admin expenses

I watch them to keep track of various office expenses and daily expense records.

Maintenance of different files

My job is to carefully manage files that contain a lot of important information. In

organization, which makes the merchandisers collect all the raw materials of the
garments which makes them feel more pressure to finish the shipment work and
sometime after the shipment date the company has to pay extra for air ship work.
Sowhen the supply chain department collects all the raw materials, the merchandiser
can easily ship the product within the lead time.
 The management planning department should be strong and time management should
be followed. Here, productivity is low due to less authority of the authorities towards
production. It needs to be increased for higher productivity.

of all international buyers.
 Working environment should be increased
 The pay scale is very weak which needs to be increased as the company will lose
potential employees due to their policies.

management among the workers should be followed.
