Lack of raw material from inside of the country (for import).
Lack of workers.
Unbalanced payment for the workers.
Improper installation.
Dyeing fabric
Printing fabric
Water jet weaving machine produces 20.83m/hour and 160 width fabrics at running speed of 500rpm. The
water jet weaving machine there no their own control (system). The company has no any air condition
system all sections works at room temperature. A number of faults occur in weaving; mainly an effect in
printing and fishing products.

Table 2 end users of the company product
Market status: - the larger portion 90% of the companies printed women dress, bed sheet
production volume is imported and 10% of the printed bed sheet, curtain is exported.
Market share: - the local market share of the domestic supply of the printed fabric in the past 6
years is about 15% in volume. The worker in the printing machine supplies the domestic market
with different types bed sheet. The worker share to the total domestic production legal and illegal
imports supply of bedsheet is about 3%.
Product mix: - the company is known for producing 100% polyester yarn and fabrics based up
on the customer specification and orders. The range of products include from heavy to light
fabrics both in gray and finished state. The company has different local customers include
regional distributors whole sales knitting factories, weaving factories.
Based on the present operational experience of huaxu textile industry PLC in printing it is
assumed that what is produced will be sold in that same period. Bedsheet, women dress, curtain
are printed but during printing there is some wastage so we can initiate how can they minimize
this color wastage you must prepare rotary the screen with equivalent to the width of the fabric
and there is cloth wastage in the finishing section and this wastage is to be minimize. However,
this printed fabric bedsheet being for local product the company’s products is also being
distributed locally to the various whole sellers and being super markets. Except for price and
limited design variety of the company products still enjoy acceptance in terms of quality in the
domestic market.
Human Resource
The overall activist of the company is to manage and administrated by the general manager who
is assayed by accountable to the bord of the director bord. members are appointing of people’s
entrepreneur supervision. Authority with responsibly of a formality sorting policy resolving
policy issues and follow up of to development program all functional department manager and
service are lead and supervisor by the respective department manager and service manager who
5
are directly reported and accountable to direct general manager. The huaxu printed department
their manager to manage all the workers in the printing.
The printed section only one manager and 27operator to be workers that means in the huaxu
textile printed twelve roller or screen printing to operated to prepare screen mash and the roller
screen both side 8 operator and the next process to dray printed fabric 2 operator and after extract
unwanted particle remove 2 operators to washing the printed fabric. 4 operator and after to dray
only 1 operator and to calendaring the printed fabric 1 operator to finished fabric 2 operator and
packed 6 operators to be work in the printing section.
But in HUAXU Textile industry plc. use water jet shuttle less weaving machine weft yarn is inserted by
means of water jet .The flying stability of weft yarn depends on volume or amount of water jetted, the
pressure under which the water jetting , cross section of nozzle ,projection of nozzle etc. jet loom water
tanker is required. Operating condition on water jet loom only hydrophobic materials can be processed to
perform on the water.
Weaving loom (water jet type): is the process of producing fabrics by interlacing warp yarn and weft
yarn fabric. The machine used for weaving fabric is a loom. It is complex stop now.
Operating condition on water jet loom only hydrophobic materials can be processed to perform
on the water.

Primary motions
Secondary motions
Auxiliary motions
Primary motions
These are the mechanisms which are essentially required on a weaving machine for the operation
to be carried out.
Primary motions
Shedding: The process of diving the warp sheet into to layers by the manual or mechanical
process. Done with Tappets, Dobby, Jacquard
Picking: the pick (weft yarn is inserted into the shed from one selvedge to another selvedge. With
Shuttle/Shuttle-less
Beat up: the last pick inserted in the fabric is 'beat' into position against the preceding picks. Done
By Crank/Cam
Secondary motions
These mechanisms are needed for a continuous weaving operation. They cause the material to
move forward on the weaving machine.
Secondary motions
Let off: Releasing the warp sheet from the weaver’s beam in a controlled manner with
uniform tension and speed. Classified as; Negative/Positive
7
Take up: Winding of the woven fabric onto the cloth beam. Done with Wheel take
up/Positive take up motion
Auxiliary motions
These mechanisms are required for defect-free weaving operation and to stop the machine automatically
when such a fault occurs. Without these, the process will continue, but there will be occurrence of faults
due to warp breakage, weft breakage etc. The machine has to be stopped manually for attending these
faults and a substantial length of defective fabric would be produced by that time.
Auxiliary motions
Warp stop motion: To stop the machine even when a single warp breaks and to facilitate detection
of broken end.
Warp protector motion: Mainly on shuttle-looms to prevent shuttle smash, when it is entrapped
inside the shed and avoid any possible breakage of several warp ends
Weft stop motion: To stop the loom when there is a weft break or the weft package replenishes on
non-auto looms.
In weaving section both warping and weaving activates performed. The creel system use during
warping is truck crealing system they use sectional warping (horizontal mill warping) machine. by
sectional warping system the yarn ends are consecutively wound on the warping drum as separate
sheets or sections of equal length. It has big sectional warping machine. A certain number of ends of a
given length of yarn are wound in the wrappers in to a warping beam from sectional warping beam.

Water jet weaving machine produces 20.83m/hour and 160 width fabrics at running speed of
500rpm. The water jet weaving machine there no their own control (system).In this section there is no
store or proper material handling system and there maintenance system is break down maintenance
system. The company has no any air condition system all sections works at room temperature. A
number of faults occur in weaving; mainly an effect in printing and fishing products.
Knitting machine: A machine used to make knitting fabrics of garments. A knitting machine
forms loops of yarn and connects them in to various knits. Knitting machine differ in purpose,
design and type of knitting needles. All knitting machines may be classified according to the
number of knitting needles per unit length of the needle cylinder. The knitting processes are
automated by mechanisms that control the consistency of feed and yarn tensions and the proper
working order of the needles; they also rectify any needle, sizes and stitch types may be used to
achieve knitting fabrics with diverse properties (color, texture, weight, heat retention, water
resistance, and /or integrity). Based on this deferent, Huaxu textile industry plc uses circular
knitting machine. There are two sub sections in the same manner in deferent place; in the first
section there are six circular knitting machines and in second section there are ten circular
knitting machines; totally in the company there are sixteen circular knitting machine.

Figure 2 Knitting machine
Circular knitting machine produces 1920m/day and 160m width of fabric at running speed of 24m/min. It
works at room temperature. In the machine there is their own control system but there is no store and
material handling system and there maintenance system is break down maintenance system .

1.10.3 Printing section
Printing: Is the process of applying color on in form design or pattern on the fabric. In other words
printing is the localized application of a dye or pigment in a thickened form to a substrate to generate a
pattern or design.
Methods of printing
Block printing
Roller printing
Screen printing
Transfer printing
In Huaxu textile industry there is screen printing method, under this method there are three ways
to the given fabric these are:
Manually, automatic flat bed and rotary screen printing from the above way Huaxu textile
industry plc use rotary screen printing method.
Screen printing: The method of printing by using screens. The rotary screen printing machine works at
speed of 25-100m/min as a standard; but in the present the printing machine works at speed of 60m/min.
11
Machines found printing section
Printing machine: Is the a rotary screen printing type that have 12 design type at one time to form
a pattern on a fabric.
Polymerization machine: Used to fix the color of the printed fabric.
Washing: Used to wash unfixed colorant and impurities from the fabric.
Disperse dyes were originally developed for the dyeing of cellulose acetate, and are water
insoluble. The dyes are finely ground in the presence of a dispersing agent and sold as a paste, or
spray-dried and sold as a powder. Their main use is to dye polyester but they can also be used to
dye nylon, cellulose triacetate, and acrylic fibers. In some cases, a dyeing temperature of 130 °C
is required, and a pressurized dye bath is used. The very fine particle size gives a large surface
area that aids dissolution to allow uptake by the fiber. The dyeing rate can be significantly
influenced by the choice of dispersing agent used during the grinding.
Jet dyeing machine: Used to dye the knitting and weaving fabric in the required form. The method of
dyeing is rope forming dye.
Drying machine: Is used to remove unnecessary moisture from the dye fabric.

Washing machine: Used to wash the fabric to remove impurities, dirt and colorant for proper
working condition.
Stentering machine: Used to stretch the fabric with steam for preferable width of finished cloth.
Calendaring machine: A lustrous, dense and compact appearance can be obtained by means of
friction, pressure, and heat..
Folding machine: Used to wind the finished cloth.
13
1.10.6 Storing section
Store system: As the name indicate used to material storing which is used for production purpose and for
other purpose.
NB-having too much material in hand lead increase inventory caring and lead to definite losses. Having
not enough material on hand, lead to increase maintenance labor cost and production cost.
GRN (good relive note)- a receipt no which use for material in (receive).
SIV (store issue vesture)- a receipt no use for out material, material to give.
SRP (store requisition paper)-a form use to request material from the store.
RI (receive issue) – for receive material. But in Huaxu textile industry plc there is only one store this is
chemical and colorant store without this there is no any store to store raw material , spare parts and other
The stores have not proper documents such as bin card and stock card. During in chemical and dye staff
store observation we had seen that there are a lot of number of chemical which are not use from year to
14
year because in the chemical store have fifteen difference disperse dye chemical for dyeing and printing.
If one chemical finished in the store, at that time the chemist to announce the dyeing and printing
production department and then the production department to announce for purchaser to purchase the
chemicals. The purchaser have imported all different types of color disperse dye chemical because of
without know the amount of chemicals from china. Then the incoming chemical stored before leave the
chemical without separating, by that cause the chemical store from year to year without use, air condition,
proper setting and temperature the chemical useless.
In the cause of proper use the disperse dye chemical are not use from year to year, due to this the
chemicals deteriorated.
In Huaxu textile industry plc the types of store used decentralizes stores used open type of stores. The
stores have not store keeper and works in normal shift from 12:30 PM-12:30AM local time. When he
leaves out the work the store is not checked. But it is easy to enter any person in the store.
Fork lift: Used to transport the import material from to the temporary store and transport the end products
from one place to another place and lift out in to the car.
Pallet jack: to transport (heavy material which human being would not lift ones) finished packed material
and all other materials in order to activity quickly.
Hand cart: Used to transport fabric from one place to another place or from one machine to another
machine and sections.
Huaxu textile industry plc process grey fabric by import polyester, nylon, acrylic and polypropylene and
grey fabric. The products are as follows:

CHAPTER TWO
2.1 Introduction
Dyestuff is a broad term used to refer to a range of dyes and pigment product. Dyeing has emerged to
make fabrics and yarns beautiful and attractive colors. And chemicals are used to dye beautifully. Textile
chemistry is a very specialized field which is used for clothing, furniture, tire yarn, airbags and many
more. All this is done through proper management of chemistry. Textile products are made attractive
through proper management of chemical management. As a result, the market demand for the product
increases and new market areas are created along with it.
16
Naturally, the use of different types of dyes and chemicals is essential for textile industry. Chemical
management systems have been working to ensure safe storage, use and transportation of dyes and
chemicals, and to ensure a beautiful environment, health and safety in compliance with the law.
Store is a place where excess material is kept, which used as and when required loss of items,
deterioration, obsolescence and inadequacy [of what is stored to what is needed] are treated as part of life
and has process and a space within, to receive the incoming materials (Receiving Bay), keep them for as
long as they are required for use (Custody) and then to move them out of store for use (issue).
Management is the systems which organize and coordinate the activities, resources and procedures. It is
often include as a factor of production along with machines, materials and money.
Store management is concerned with ensuring that the activities involving store keeping and stock control
are carried out efficiently and economically by those employed in the store. In many cases it will also
encompass the recruitment, selection, induction and the training of store personnel and much more.
We have seen problem of chemical and dyeing store management system this are:
17
2.3 Objectives
Chemicals are second important materials for dyeing. Different chemicals are used during textile wet
processing. Chemicals are different in their properties. In different stages (Pretreatment, dyeing, printing,
finishing) of dyeing processing in dyeing mill, various chemicals are used. Every chemical have their own
characteristics.
18
4. Direct Dye: Applicable for cotton, linen, viscose, silk.
6. Acid Dye: Applicable for wool, silk, nylon. Applied from an acidic dye bath. The fastness properties
of this dyestuff depends on the fibre type.
There are also some other types of dyestuffs such as sulphur, azoic, metal complex, chrome dyes etc.
Store is a place where excess material is kept like dye, softener, caustic soda and other chemicals used in
the finishing section. Which will be used as and when required loss of items, deterioration, obsolescence
and inadequacy [of what is stored to what is needed] are treated as part of life. Management is the system
which organizes and coordinates the activities, resources and procedure. It is often include is a factor of
production along with machines, material and money. Store management is concerned ensuring that will
the activities involving in store keeping and stock control are carried out efficiently and economically by
those employed in the store. In many cases it will also encompass the recruitment, selection, induction
and the training of store personnel and much more. So, store have the following many objective.
Receiving section
tool stores
general stores
raw material stores
middle product stores
finished parts stores
chemical and dye staff stores
ware house store
The basic functions of dye and chemicals to manage a store, carried out are:
Evaluation and use of safe and alternative chemicals should be given priority.
19
Employees need to increase their awareness and express their attitudes through training on
various topics (example: personal protective equipment, safe use of chemicals, etc.).
Appropriate arrangements should be made for chemical waste.
Reduced-use, reuse and recycling opportunities should be used.
All legal rules and regulations must be followed.
To receive incoming chemicall, component, tools, equipment's and other items and
account for them
arrange for inspection of incoming
ensure that good inward notes are raised and distributed without delay
maintain accurate and up-to date record of material received, issued, rejected, disposed,
and quantity on hand of all the items
To minimize obsolescence, surplus and scrap through proper qualification, preservation and
handling of chemical.
To insure good housekeeping, so that chemical handling and preservation, stocking, receipt and
etc.
Disposal of undesirable chemical.
Any item of good or material that enters organization always enters through stores. Similarly,
every item unless specially excluded, has to leave through the store. Stores are the final account
keeper of all materials by any supplier after security clearance comes to the stores. The stores
check the document carried by the carrier, known as delivery channeled, again the copy of
purchase order placed on the supplier by the organization. If the material not accepts quality
control department rejected and back to the supplier after clear. But, if it is accepted clear to
unloading
Storage
Once the unloaded approved by the quality control department, as per quality in the quality
system, it is moved to a specific place in the store lay out. The material is so stored that it
becomes easy to retrieve and issue subsequently .storage should also ensure protection against
deterioration, damage and pilferage. Detailed system is adopted for location and labeling of items
while in storage. Storage plan is made keeping in mind.
20
1, nature of the product-physical state, toxicity, inflammability and other hazards
2, volume and weight-heavy or light
3, movement frequency-fast moving or slow moving
4, point of use
Issue
Fulfilling customer demand for the item in minimum time, keeping quantity high and cost
minimum is issue. An internal customer doesn’t pay the price but he has to fulfill requirement of
authorization for the demand. A duly authorized indent or requisition for the item is the key.
Retrieval
Easy and quick reliability of items that are demand by the internal customers. Easy identification,
maximum space utilization and minimum handling are key factors to retrieval function.
It is common Knowledge in many of companies that after hour of searching for the item is
declared to be out of stock. This causes hold up of production process and avoidable urgent
purchase of out of stock material. This function takes place as establishing retrieval system.
Very close interaction between purchasing, production, quality control and engineering function
is obviously needed in the discharge of the function discussed so far. It also becomes necessary to
coordinate the flow of dye chemicals samples and information through a network of departments
for performance of store function. Besides, every management function being an internal
customer interaction is very important.
Surplus Management
Surplus items are those that have accumulated due to faulty planning, forecasting and purchasing.
Hence usage value associated with these items. Scrap is wastage generated due to processes like
turning, boring drilling etc. and also due to bad manufacturing. Effective disposal system for
unneeded chemical to reduce inventory coast and proactive measures to eliminate deterioration
21
and obsolescence. Obsolescence items are good in all respect but have no useful role in the
company due to changes that have occurred in the course of item.
Types of store
Centralized store concept -is to store all items at a central place and control materials movement
from this central place.
Effective supervision and control issue at single point reduces cost of issue
reduced personnel requirement better inventory checks
maintenance of optimum stores
Elaborate documentation.
Decentralized store concept- is moving the chemical to the respective consumer function or
directly to the point of uses.
reduced handling
customer friendly
visual management is easier
fewer production stoppages
A) Closed stores – Closed systems are utilized when close control and accounting for inventories are
desirable. In such cases, storage area is kept locked and entry is limited to stores employees or to others
only on an authorized basis. Goods enter inventory through a formal receiving process and Leave through
an authorized requisition or bill of materials. Closed systems typically include industrial or business
stores operations, and involve repair parts, consumables, tools, and materials or components for assembly
where ongoing control and accuracy is essential.
B) Open stores – There are instances where the cost of closely controlling inventories outweighs expected
losses in an uncontrolled environment. In such cases, inventory storage areas may be left
Open or kept close to the point of use for efficient user access. Such inventories are available for use as
needed, with emphasis on expediting production, or operations rather than on security.
22
2.5. Methodology
The data used for this project is collected from both primary and secondary source.
Primary data: - we used the interview, questionnaires, and observation methods in order to collect and
secure a reliable primary data.
Observation: The first thing before doing everything, we observe the environment. During
observation looked how to improve chemical and dyestuff in store manage in finishing section.
Interview: Interview is one of the methods of data collection, to collect data without document
reviewing. Some questions during interview are:
How and by what means you handle these problems?
Secondary data: -the secondary sources were gathered from company’s reports, daily activities of the
company, Document, review.
During the collection of data for the seek of information we get the following data about the store
management system of the section store.
Storage: In Huaxu textile industry plc store sections have not proper storage system during chemical
storage and not only this, after stored the material should not be seen the materials whether in good
condition or not and not checked the materials in a good way. because the companies have poor store
management system. This means the items and material stoke randomly without technical ordered system.
in the chemical and dye staff store the chemical , washing powder (detergent) and dye staff are stored
without technical order, in the company for printing have fifteen different disperses dye chemicals and so,
for dyeing have the same fifteen color disperse dye chemicals. it is not ordered in it is genres and color
type. The layout of stores is not comfortable to the movement the printing and dyeing chemicals. Table
enter in Huaxu industry plc the raw material (grey fabric and synthetic yarn) coming from china .this raw
material stored out of the room on the ground have not material of transporting facilities like forklifts.
23
Image enter: In order to that there are time killing for searching handling under the fabric, there is not
covering above the fabric due to this the temperature, rain, air condition, and sunlight the fabric are
damaged, deteriorate and pilfrage.inside the room grey fabric processed from knitting and the synthetic
yarn are damaged by the cause of contamination with waste chemicals, water, oil and grease the product
and quality are lose most of time.
Retrieval: Easy and quack irretrievability of items that are demanded by internal customer. but in Huaxu
textile industry plc stores have not system of retrieval system. During our project, observe that the dyeing
machine stop one houre and the printing machine stop 2hr and 38min in the cause of shortage of
chemical. store and production department are not known the maximum and minimum material
consumption of the production machine such as printing and dyeing machine and how much material are
stored in the store house have not identified. The chemicals are not imported in local market. It is
imported in china, we observe that, the production workers wanted the disperse dye chemical and raw
materials and if it is not get the raw material and disperse dye chemical the production head request to
purchase the raw material and disperse dye chemical from the import market urgently and
doesn’t have in local market it transfers to import purchaser. The import purchaser contacts to the
importer and sends the raw material and chemicals and dye stuff.
Issuing: Issuing of any material from the stores the authorized requisition is essential but in Huaxu
textile industry plc at any store are not requisition paper are issuing of material from the store. in the
chemical and dye staff store the company workers easily enters to the store, there is not store keeper and
open store system. So, any person without any legal permission to enter the store to out the washing
powder in the store the company uses for washing purpose. Employer’s use of individual purpose for
washing the clothes and shoes in the dyeing room. during interviewing chemical worker Ato Seid
Mohammed that once supponate time Mr. KUCHER comes in to the store because looking the workers
to washes the cloth, shoes and socks in the dyeing section by washing detergent powder, at that time very
shout to me and why not kept the store, it’s not my work the only works chemist am not looking other
things. Mr Kucher enters the store before the problem happened have ten washing powder sacks stored in
the chemical store, one sacks contain twenty five then totally ten sacks are two hundred fifty kg washing
powder measure. But, have to two hundred fifty kg powders to leaves one hundred eighty kg powders.

Interaction and coordination
The Stores as one department they should have a good relation and interaction to other departments such
as purchasing, maintenance, and sale, accounting and production departments. But, the section stores
have not well interaction to those departments. the stores is not involve in the planning of annual budget
to the chemical purchased.
In Huaxu textile industry plc the types of store used decentralizes stores used open type of stores. The
stores have not store keeper and works in normal shift from 12:30 PM-12:30AM local time. So, it is easy
to enter any person in the store.
When used these types of chemicals and dye staffs in the printing and dying process deteriorate the
quality of printing and dying as a result, the customer demand to buy the product of the company is
decrease and the income of company will be decrease. The layout of the store should be having enough
space to workers and cart movement. If the material large and heavy it is not easily handle by a person the
cart(gari) assist is essential in order to reduce the time waste by person handling. Unorganized storage of
the material is waste the work time of the any production line.

1 3 For bleaching 10
In printing and dyeing m/ce Average time taken to search chemical and color per one shift is 30 and
8minute respectively there are three shifts in one day
so, 90 and 24minute is the time taken too searching disperse dye chemical and dye stuff per 2weeks. As
like to change this idle time in to production
The absence of technical (scientific) method of irretrievability cause the scarcity of important chemical
and dye staffs to the production printing and dyeing machine. Therefore, the production machine down
time increases. During urgent purchase the quality of chemical is questionable because it is quick and not
26
time to choose. Sometimes the coast of chemical over point cash and the purchase go to other additional
process. These are time consumable purchase system. If the urgent purchase comes from import china
take day up to nine day because of the problem of revenue process. According to the data dyeing and
printing machine are stops for three and four days respectively. Because of absence of disperse dye
chemical. In printing and dyeing section there have fifteen different disperse dye chemical for printing
and dyeing. If one disperses dye chemical is not get, it’s not formed one design fabric and others by this
cause the production machine stopped. Because one color design formed we have to use maximum three
and above disperse dye chemical color used.
The production of printing machine per four hours is the total working time and idle
time=10,000M
4hrs =10,000M printed fabrics produced
1hrs =?
2500M printed fabrics produced
SO, in printing average machine stoppage are 46min in one shift
1hrs (60min)= 2500m
46min =?
1619.6m printed fabric not produced
this means 1m of acrylic knitted print fabrics= 60birr
1619m=?
97140birrs are lost.
1m of nylon knitted print fabrics= 57birr
1619m=?
92283birrs are lost.
1m of weaving print fabrics= 49birr
1619m=?
79331birr are lost.

1m of nylon knitted dyeing fabric= 37birr
176m =?
6512 birr is lost
1m of weaving dyeing fabric=32birr
176m=?
5632birr is lost
Issuing
The authorize issuing of the material is protect the theft of material from the store. In the section
store the requisition paper is not require to issue the material. Then high amount of washing
powder (detergent) can issue from in store and they can pass the main compound door in different
system. Almost all chemical worker and production department think that there is have the action
of theft by from floor day worker to top managers. According to their analysis the stores are open
for the workers as their home and easy to Stoll materials. Most of the time jet dyeing machine day
worker are stolen the powder because of if one time 1440 meter knitted or weaving production
enters for dyeing or washing that stay with in 3:00am or pm us that time the some workers works
individual works like washing shoes, socks and wear cloths by use of washing powder because
have enough time to wash and easy to Stoll. According to the data the day workers issue about
two hundred fifty kg washing powder among their seventy are illegal.
1kg of washing powder price = 3.25USB
70kg=?
227.5USB is stolen.
During purchase the store is not really receipt and issue the detergent powder but it is sign as really done
but, They cannot sure that the detergent powder are purchase from the market as store department
workers.
Documentation
The document of store helps to know the whole history of the material history from receipt to issue.
These helps to easy management of the chemical and material in the store. In the section stores have not
good documentation system these makes stores have not true evidence (information) about the material
which stocked and this make difficult to introduce scientific system to the exists system of management.
During inventory the problem of documentation is the headache of inventory work and also make the
28
question of honesty of the inventory result because, inventory is to make the cross check of the document
(history) of the material to that which exist physically.
Surplus management
When the unwanted material is stocked in the store there is have the problem of space accommodation,
since the material had a cost it stored without use by Catching money. The lack of interaction and
coordination of the chemical store to other departments make difficulty to the store to fulfill function and
objective properly. At any decision which regarding to a material the store departments should be
participate as a steak holder. The function of stores is not easy to fulfill without harmonious interaction
and coordination with other departments of the section. According to the data two hundred fifty three kilo
gram chemicals not use for year to year they are purchased additional from the import market.
3605.25USB Chinese birr is out for unnecessary purchase because of poor interaction and coordination
between the store and purchase departrnent.
The use of open system in decentralize store is increase the liability of store for theft additional to the
cause identified because it have high cost inventories. The door is open for all people also make trouble to
documentation system and to manage the store. Because of these the store does not accountable to
material which stocked in the store as a result, if the chemical is stolen or problem during inventory the
store keepers is not account as crime because the store is open to any person.
29
finishing chemical store section. During the time of searching one disperse dye chemical are wanted to
takes 5-8minute time wastage. But after done kaizen practically in chemical section of finishing store
department it takes 0.7-1.5 minute to desire the required chemical. As an average it takes 0.85minute to
find the desired disperse dye chemical and dye stuff.
So, kaizen can be implemented to decreasing the searching time and indirectly for increasing the
production of finishing fabric and company worker simply get the wanted materials.
For all of have to study and collecting data for the cause of poor chemical and dyestuff store management
system are:
By this cause problem of miss management of dye and chemical store are happened.
the company has led to shortage of needed items and chemical, deterioration of chemical ,the chemical
stolen by workers and make difficulty to manage store are gives high production time loose or increased
the machine down time, there would be hold-up and interruption in production or losses of production
and/or losses of the customer themselves and losses of profit which could be in turn load to job losses and
in extreme cases to the collapse of the enterprise.
2.7 Solution
30
Chemicals are a direct raw material for textile factories. So lots of dyes or chemicals are needed every
day. Keeps balance between supply and demand through chemical stocks. And the work is done
smoothly by the chemical management system. Purchased dyes / chemicals are collected in company.
All the management of the textile company is done through the chemical management system such as
Chemical configuration and arrangement
In order to take action on the problem of improper store management system in the chemical finishing
the following solution are necessary:
Forms of codes
Alphabetic
Numeric
alphanumeric
So, by use of end use name of the disperse dye chemical to gives the form of codes are alphanumeric
code.
for printing the disperse dye chemical
The material which stocked in the store have to be ordered by using 5s system of kaizen principle
during these the layout of the store also can improve. The place(room) which the chemicals and
dye staff stoked should be not liable to direct sun light and the room should be have the
mechanism of regulating air conditioning of the room.
The store should prepare the requisition paper during issuing of material from the store. The
requisitions paper can like that.
31
The chemical and dye are arranged in the form of kaizen cycle and 5s implementation
So Proper dyestuff store management can bring many benefits for a company this are:
32
There is difficult to get data about the machine
Some workers are not voluntary

CHAPTER FOUR
36
improve the efficiency of the organization and also make the working atmosphere healthy any
types of organization, and household. even a common company worker must know the basics of
store management and how to use chemicals and dyestuff in all daily activity. The store have,
proper material storage, full documentation (records), interaction and coordination with other
department, requisition paper during issuing material, surplus management, skill full store
keeper, skill full store manager, inspection during receiving the material and etc by this the store
there is not, time taken for searching the material, material wastage, loose of production and
quality of product, space consumption, and etc. So that store worker, store managers and for all
company worker and the company have get moral satisfaction. But not this customer proud by
our company production time and quality and increase number of customer then the company
overcome great changes. As discussed before in the data presentation the company loss the cost
due to poor store management system.
37
The company has led to shortage of needed items and material, deterioration of materials, the
material stolen by workers and make difficulty to manage store are gives high production time
loose or increased the machine down time
4.2 Recommendation
In today’s world market place is hold by competition. But Huaxu textile industry plc. the
production are loose and the material are wastage by the cause of poor chemical and dye store
management. To come out from this problem the company should be based on competitive way
of the world market to seek opportunities to reduce shortage of item and material, the manager
caution about chemicals in the store and employee skill full person, prediction cost and good
store management without negatively affecting produce yield or quality.As we believe that good
management and skilled man power is the key requirement to perform the productivity. But there
are different problem that barred production of the company especially in finishing section.
Therefore to solve this problem the company should be done the following suggestion correctly:
The store should be use scientific retrieval system such as ABC and VED analysis
The store should be use requisition paper during issuing of materials in the store
The store should be prepare bin card and use computer to store register items
The store should use close stored system
Design proper layout of store
The top manager should be follow carefully the store department
The company should employee additional workers
The store should be disposed unwanted material by selling
The store management and operation of the room we work synchronized each other’s
The organization needs to arrange skill up gradation program for the operator and store
keeper. so, the operators and store keeper attend their machine in a case of working
effectively per giving time
The company must be prepared training center for the operators and workers.
Generally in the company many things are not fulfill. So, we recommended are:
operator assignment
maintenance service
38
product handling
waste material handling
full skilled person
proper maintenance store arrangement
Many different adaptations, and projects have been left for the future due to lack of time (i.e. the
project with real data are usually very time consuming, requiring even days to finish a single run).
