Executive Summary

BEXIMCO is one of the largest groups in Bangladesh and highest GDP contributor.
Here, this is a great chance for me to do our internship in one of its concern organization
BEXIMCO Textile Division.

Since independence Bangladesh has come a long way, and the BEXIMCO Group of
Companies is honored to have had a role in the development of its parent nation. The
Group has worked with a simple philosophy; identify an important need and then do
everything possible to successfully satiate that need, in a manner, which best facilitates
the well-being of the nation. As a result, BEXIMCO has focused on those industries,
which give Bangladesh a competitive advantage in the global market place in many cases
creating the industries for the first time in the region. Presently BEXIMCO Group
comprises twenty-one companies of which five are listed with the Dhaka Stock Exchange
employing over 35,000 personnel and is the largest private sector industrial conglomerate
in the nation. In the course of its growth, it has created industrial and management
capabilities that will serve the country for generations to come. It was the first local
conglomerate to embrace an international corporate structure which is the foundation of
its success. BEXIMCO’s industrial businesses include Jute, Textiles, Basic Chemicals,
Pharmaceuticals and Ceramics.

BEXTEX Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Bangladesh as a Public Limited

Company with limited liability on 8 March 1994 and commenced commercial operation
in 1995 and also went into the public issue of shares and debentures in the same year. The
shares of the Company are listed in the Dhaka and Chittagong Stock Exchanges of

Bangladesh. BEXTEX Ltd. is the most modern composite mill in the region. BEXTEX
Ltd. has an installed capacity of 288 high-speed air- jet looms in its weaving section and a
high-tech dyeing and finishing section with a capacity of 100,000 yards of finished fabric
per day. This company is located at the BEXIMCO Industrial Park. BEXTEX Ltd. has a
state-of-the-art composite knit fabric production mill, which serves the growing needs of
high-quality knit garments exporters in Bangladesh. The project was set up as a state-
ofthe-art knit fabric knitting, dyeing and finishing facility. During the year the Company
produced and sold high quality of knit fabrics and bringing forth all the latest in hard
and soft technologies in knitting, dyeing and finishing of knit fabric. BEXTEX Ltd. also
has cotton and polyester blended yarn-spinning mill, with 122,000 spindles is one of the
largest spinning mills of the country. The mill was set up to feed the country’s export-
oriented industries.

As a large textile industry BEXIMCO has large numbers of employees but the
productivity is getting slow day by day. So, it is a matter of concern that why this huge
industry is doing stagnant profit. In the whole procedure of exporting garments to the
retailer of abroad and to communicate with them, merchandisers have a great influence
and responsibilities. When, the order is taken from buyer the duty comes to the floor of
merchandisers and before going production they do almost everything to make the
business smooth. So, the work starts with the order taking and making business
relationship. Then sample making, planning, booking of every single material for
samples and getting approval are all the key responsibilities of merchandisers. In case of
production, sample goes in bulk so, the responsibilities become huge and it comes to the
relation with operation also.

I am selected for the buyer “CK” “WALMART” “ and this team is really supporting from
any side me wanted their help. “CK” is totally new styles and different designs which
push merchandisers to face huge stress and deal with lots of challenges. Here,

these all procedures are tried to be written as the team tried their best

to help in preparing this report.

Introduction

The word textiles originally mean a cloth, but now textiles & plural textiles are also used
for thread, filament & yarn. The most popular items of natural & manufactured fiber are
called textiles for which they are a commodity.

For example, this definition includes products made of fiber in the following categories:
threads, cords, clothes & braids, fabrics made of textiles, knitted & not woven, laces, nets
& sticks, household textiles, soft furnishing & garments, tapestries & other floor coverings,
industrial textiles & technical and engineers, including geo-textile elements & medical
textiles.

A highly globalized market in the readymade clothing industry. Since it is legal engineering
and operates intensively, this industry migrates like a flying goose, from high wages to law
wages. The great risk to the success story of the readymade clothing industry. The RMG
industry is so important that the future of Bangladesh's economy is heavily influenced by
this industry.

Textiles and clothing account for about 85% of total export earnings of Bangladesh. Out of
which, 75% comes from the apparel sector which covers the major products of knit and
woven shirts, blouses, trousers, skirts, shorts, jackets, sweaters, sports wears and many
more casual and fashion items. The sector currently employs approximately above 1.5
million workers, mostly females from underprivileged social classes. We have completed
this report on the basis of all the department of RMG sector such as Merchandising
Department, Commercial Department, Production Department, Supply Chain Department,
Human Resource Department, Compliance Department, MIS

Department, and relevant organization like Southeast, BKMEA, Export Promotion Buru,
Yarn suppliers, Chittagong Port, Insurance Company, Shipping Company. So, by
completing this report we get overall idea about RMG sector, so it carries more value than
any books.

BEXIMCO Textile Ltd. has the capability to offer a complete product range for the
export textile markets. The goal of BEXIMCO Textile Ltd. is to become the preferred
partner for sourcing high quality fabrics & clothing from Bangladesh with highly
advanced technology & an emphasis on developing local human resources. BEXIMCO
Textile Ltd. has the potential to make an important contribution to the nation’s growing
readymade garments export sector.

The rationale behind the existing structure & future expansion of BEXIMCO Textile Ltd.
is to capture value added at each stage of the textile manufacturing process. Despite
Bangladesh’s lack of indigenous cotton production capability, BEXIMCO Textile Ltd. has
leveraged Bangladesh’s labor cost advantage & export competitiveness to the maximum
level.

In the BEXIMCO Group, which is a 100% export-oriented composite knit company, we

preferred this connection. In order to continue the internship research in the BEXIMCO
Group, we nearly worked through all parts of this business and also tried to find out the
operations, scheduling and many other issues. In context, we intentionally mentioned these
stuffs to let you know.

CHAPTER- TWO
INTERNSHIP DESCRIPTION
2.1. Introduction of Raw Material

Raw material (RM) is the primary substance which is used as an input to a production process for
subsequent modification and finally modified into a finished good. Raw materials may be in
processed or unprocessed state. Most of the times raw materials are natural resources such as
cotton, oil, rubber etc. They are also altered to be used in different processes before being used in
the final manufacturing process. So we can say that, the processed or unprocessed materials which
are used to produce final textile products are called TRM.

2.1.1 Fiber

The textile industries use different types of fibres which are derived from nature or manually
produced. These fibres are used to produce dresses, towels, blankets etc. Some of these fibres were
known and used in the earlier years of civilization, as well as in modern times. Other fibres have
acquired varied degrees of importance in recent years. The factors influencing the development
and utilization of all these fibres include their ability to be spun, their availability in sufficient
quantity, the cost or economy of production, and the desirability of their properties to consumers.
 Figure:6
2.1.2 Yarn

Yarns can be made of staple fibers by several techniques. The method used is dependent upon such
factors as the economic implications, the fibers to be used and desired properties of the yarn to be
produced. Rings pinning is the oldest and most wide spread technique. Open end spinning is
another major method. The development of short fibers, or staple, into yarn, when started in

terms of basic manufacturing processes, is as follows:

Carding

Combing

Drafting

↓
 Twisting

Winding

2.1.3 Fabric

Fabric is a planar textile structure produces by interlacing yarns or filaments. Most fabrics are
produced through knitting or weaving, but some are produced by non-woven processes such as

braiding, felting, and twisting.

2.1.4 Trimmings and Accessories:

To fulfill the design objectives we need different kind of materials. Fabrics are the main material,
which used for garment manufacturing. We need other materials also, which make the garments
aesthetic, functional and commercially required. Usually other than fabrics these materials used
for making garments are called trims and accessories.

Figure:8
2.1.5 Trims

The raw materials used in sewing room other than fabric are called Trimmings. On the other hand
materials are directly attached with the fabric to make a garment are called trims. Like Threads,
buttons, lining, Interlining, zippers, labels, care labels, etc.(Interlining is used as shape forming
preserving materials.

2.1.6 Accessories
The materials, which are used to make a garment attractive for sale and packing, other than

fabric sand trims, are called Accessories

After receiving the garments components from cutting section, all the garments parts are joined
and sewn as sequentially. Obviously all the components are sewn according to buyer
 Sewing section is the most important department of a garment manufacturing industry. Sewing
machines of different types are arranged as a vertical line to assemble the garments. Sequence
of types of sewing machine arrangement depends on sequence of assembling

 3 Types of Sample

Proto sample:

It is the very first sample given into the buyer. It is prepared according to the buyer’s
specification. It is a trial sample prepared on product development department. Buyer wants to
see here that how its look likes after applying new design on it. Any types of fabric and color
can be used here. For this types of sample 2-3 pieces garments should be made where 1pc for
manufacturer and rest of those are sent to the buyer for correction.

Fit sample:

After approving proto sample, fit sample should be made by following buyer provided
measurement sheet. It can be made by using similar fabric, nearer GSM and any color. In Fit
sample, stitching and measurement must be 100% accurate. Here fabrication and color can be
changed but no compromise on stitching and measurement. 2-3 garments are used in fit sample
where 1pc kept by the manufacturer and rest of those are sent to the buyer.

Size set sample:

After approving fit sample, based on the patterns of approved sample, all the other sizes
Samples should be graded here and make pattern for different sizes. After that, make 2-3pcs
sample for each size of that order. Manufacturer keep 1pc sample for him and send 1pc or 2pc
samples to the buyer for cutting approval. Here, it should be noted that, without the size set
sample approval, cutting should not be started.

Counter sample:
2.2.

This type of sample is based on the comments received from the buyer. For this sample, 23 pcs
garments are require.
Salesman sample (SMS):

Salesman sample is used by sales team of buyer to enhance the sales of any garment. Buyer sends
the sample by salesman in the market to receive market feedback from the customers. It is done
approximately 200-500pcs depending on the customers and season. The main objects of SMS
sample are to check market, feedback, Buyer’s design etc.

Pre-production sample (PPS):

P.P sample should be made in actual production line by maintaining all actual of an order
specification. It is the main stage of a garments order where any sample may be approved or
rejected. If the sample is approve then can go for the rest of the process of that order. But if rejected
then there will be the revision of previous processes. PPC (Planning production and control)
department is also involved in this stage. Once PPC department is involved then there’s no way
for accepting of any style change. It is the very critical stage than other’s stage. Extra care must
be needed here to confirm an order correctly.

Top of production sample (TOP):

During running an order in production line, a few samples sent to the buyer or buyers Q, C as TOP
sample. TOP sample has a great importance in achieving certification of whole order. If

TOP sample failed to approve its required quality then whole order will be resumed.
Shipment sample:

Shipment sample is needed after completing final inspection, when goods are ready for the
shipment. It is a sample that reflects what buyers will receive down to Q.C, folding, tagging
bagging, labeling and final packaging included.

Finishing
2.2.9.10

In textile manufacturing, finishing refers to the processes that convert the woven or knitted cloth
into a usable material and more specifically to any process performed after dyeing the yarn or

fabric to improve the look, performance or hand feel of the finish textile or clothing.

2.2.10.1Yarn Finishing

Yarn finishing is very important for spinners. Because buyers are not interested to unfinished or
faulty yarns. Spun yarn has many faults like slubs, neps, hairiness etc. So finishing is very
important for yarn manufacturing. For reducing yarn fault auto cone winding machine is used.
Which gives right weight and shape of yarn in cone package. All tasks are done in spinning

finishing section. So spinning finishing section has important role in yarn manufacturing process.

THREE SWOT
ANALYSIS
3.1 SWOT analysis and problems identified of the industry

SWOT Analysis:

SWOT analysis is (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats analysis) is a framework for
identifying and analyzing the internal and external factors that can have an impact on the viability
of a project, product, place or person.

Elements of a SWOT analysis:

Strengths:

Internal attributes and resources that support a successful outcome.

The Strengths of BEXIMCO Group Ltd:

STRENGTH:

Vertical integration ensures their freedom of work and minimizes the dependency to the
outsiders.

ISO approval is one of their biggest advantages about the question of quality.
Experienced managers are great advantage for Beximco. They take decisions on time and
systematically manage all things.
 Opportunity to shift employees, one to another SBU. It often helps management to solve
urgent crisis. It reduces cost and time and gives management flexibility to decision making.

Low taxation on raw materials is helpful for reducing overall cost. And makes easier for the
company product to compete the markets existing products.

Good brand image and fame means good market reputation. It helps their marketing
department to get order easily.
Weakness:

Internal attributes and resources that work against a successful outcome.

The Weakness of BEXIMCO Group Ltd:

Beximco textile doesn’t have any strong IT infrastructure. Digitations system is very much
required to run a modern production oriented firm. Without a strong IT infrastructure
operation of a firm is the symbol of inefficiency.

Centralize decision making authority system is one of the main problem of this company.
There is no R&D practice in Beximco textile.
Insufficient and unstructured data system.

Management and stuffs doesn’t have adequate transport facility.

Not heaving any structured system for the intern student
Weak HRM department is one of the most weak point of Beximco groups.
Less job facility for the employees and workers de-motivated the employees. Arranging good
facility is very important for this group.

Employees’ high turn over rate is a major weakness of Beximco textile.

Opportunities:

External factors that the entity can capitalize on or use to it advantage.

The Opportunities of BEXIMCO Group Ltd:

Set up ERP and supply chain management system (SCM) in Beximco is an opportunity. It will
speedup the over all performance of the company, saves storage cost, and overall time and money.

The Threats of BEXIMCO Group Ltd:

 Textile market is very much related to the high-tech machineries. So, rapid technological
advancement will bring new challenges for the textile industry in very year.

Heavy competition and overcrowded industry makes the textile business highly competitive.
Less job security will be a threat for the employees and for the company also. Because
employees are direct related to the companies performances. And any kind of dissatisfaction
toughly hampers the performances of the production firm.

CHAPTER FOUR BEST PRACTICES

4.1 Best Practices in Management

In Human Resource Management (HRM) cycle as well as in any organization, training and
development system plays an important and vital role in achieving organizational mission and
vision, goals and objectives. Organizations today consider the HR department as the critical source
of making development amongst the employees to lead the organization to the success.

NATURE OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

In simple terms training and development refers to imparting of specific skills, abilities and
knowledge to an employee. A formal definition of training and development is… it is any attempt
to improve current and future employee performance by increasing an employee’s ability to
perform through learning, usually by changing the employee’s attitude or increasing his/her skills
and knowledge. The need for training and development is determined by the employee’s
performance deficiency, computed as follows:

Training & Development need = Standard performance – Actual performance.

It is a subsystem of an organization. It ensures that randomness is reduced and learning or

behavioral change takes place in structural format. Before starting any Training method we should
state Mission, vision of the company and what are the clear objectives we are looking after the
training methods get over.

Purpose and Goals

The purpose of the training and development function is to:

1. Organize and facilitate the learning process.

2. Expedite acquisition of the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for effective job
performance.

3. Provide employees with career growth opportunities consistent with corporate goals,
objectives, and strategies.
Training and employee development programs are designed to be effective, efficient, and timely,
using sources, methods, and strategies consistent with the following goals:

1. Ensure the availability of human resources to meet present and future organizational needs.

2. Ensure linkage with corporate goals and business strategies.

3. Provide learning experiences that are responsive to the training and development needs of
Postal Service employees.

4. Make instruction timely, using the most cost-effective methods.

5. Reduce organizational training costs while increasing learner retention and proficiency.

4.2 Best Practices in Production

BEXTEX Ltd. is one of South Asia’s largest vertically integrated textile and
garment companies with in-house analytical and creative abilities.
 Over the years, BEXIMCO has developed in-house design capabilities with teams based
in Bangladesh and Spain. Furthermore, it has partnered with some of the world’s
renowned design institutes, including Fashion Institute of Technology, Parsons, London
School of Fashions, NIFT and NID, for access to talented designers. The Group has built
strong working relationships with its core clients through a continuous dialogue. The
Group's technology partners include In vista, Huntsman, CHT, Rudof and Clariant. Key
clients include American Eagle, Arcadia Group, Calvin Klein, H&M, JC Penney, Macy's,
Tommy Hilfiger, Warnaco and Zara. The Group is planning to expand the textiles
business through capacity additions.

Post expansion, the annual capacity of knit fabric is expected to increase to 80 million
lbs. from 11 million lbs. currently and the annual capacity of apparel knits is expected to
reach 145 million pieces from 20 million pieces currently.

MOTIVATIONAL TECHNIQUES AND TRAINING

 Motivation is the psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired
goal and brings out, controls, and sustains certain goal directed behaviors. If the textile and
apparel sub sector industries in Bangladesh are to achieve World Class Manufacturing
Standards then the problems of collision and low productivity which the consultants have
highlighted need to be addressed by structured training programs relevant to each level of
company employee.

Mostly no training provision is introduced in garment manufacturing and textile industries.

(Training and Vocational Education) All of the companies generally recognize the importance
of skilled sewing machine operators and training in other skills particularly cutting and
pressing. The training of the operators takes place on the production line and they are taught
basic skills on one type of machine only. There was no structured programmed that would
include training on a number of different machines, the achievement of the appropriate quality
standards and output targets. Similarly, those individuals carrying out the training had,
themselves, not been trained in the instruction techniques.
Even, in case of management body training is necessary for better working environment and
productivity. There is a belief that anyone will start learning by working himself so most
employees come out of nowhere and then start learning gradually so the frequency of mistakes is
higher. The consultants find few companies using a formal recruitment policy or the formal testing
of potential employees during the selection process

BEXIMCO Group is one of the largest private sector industrial conglomerates in Bangladesh
engaged in diverse business areas. BEXIMCO comprises of five publicly listed companies and
sixteen private companies. Where, Pharmaceuticals and Textile section are the biggest one.
BEXIMCO covers one of South Asia’s largest vertically integrated textile and garment companies.
The Textile division is a fully integrated manufacturer of cotton and polyester blended garments
for men, women and children, both for domestic and export markets. BEXIMCO is also the largest
exporter of pharmaceuticals in Bangladesh with a presence in 45 countries. The Pharmaceuticals
division manufactures and sells generic pharmaceutical formulation products, active
pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and intravenous (IV) fluids. The Group is also the largest
ceramics exporter and has an investment in GMG Airlines, the largest private commercial airline
in Bangladesh and in Unique Hotels & Resorts, which owns the Westin Hotel in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh Export Import Company (BEXIMCO) maintains this logo from the initial stage of its
business. They have a mission of taking Bangladesh to the world. So, with this logo BEXIMCO
has taken its identity towards the people of the world.
4.3 Best Practices in Development of BEXIMCO Group Ltd.

The best part of development is worked with the department of R and D. (Research and
Development).

Main objectives of R and D:

1. Planning and control of Dry and wet process of washing.

2. Setting recipes, Developed New style and Wash according to the

customer requirements.

3. To get / collect buyer feedback/ satisfaction by representing product or capacity.

4. Coordination with Production, Marketing and Merchandising department regarding
technical, approved sample and others issue.

5. To finding best production process with quality.

 6. Try to fulfill any buyer requirement according to buyer comment.
7. To minimize time and cost with productivity.
8. Increase productivity.
9. Increase profitability.

4.4 Best Practices in marketing:

Marketing environment of Beximco textiles are the actors and forces outside marketing that

affect marketing manager’s ability to build and maintain successful relationships with

targeted customers. Marketing environment is divided into two parts micro environment and

macro environment of the company.

Micro Environment

Figure: 25 Actors of Micro Environment

Beximco’s suppliers of raw materials policy and cost of raw materials or inflation directly effect

the macro environment of Beximco. Customers of Beximco are mostly our RMG producers. So

quality ensuring is a big concern here. In the case of marketing intermediaries; company fame,

managers’ strong liaison/ network with business buyers are the main strategy of Biswas to sell

products. Government policies (favorable) are the main publics here. Beximco competitors’ of

Beximco textile are local producers of Bangladesh. Name of some close competitors of Beximco

textile is given billow.

Macro Environment

Figure: 26 Major Force in the Company’s Macro Environment

Economic factor-

Low production cost, energy availability, workers availability and suitable government policy is

the economic factor for Beximco.

Technological factor-
China machineries are available and cost efficient for Beximco.

Political factorsunstable political situation and various types of strikes plays negative roll on

Beximco.

Natural and cultural factors-

Natural and cultural factors doesn’t play significant roll in the macro environment of

Beximco.

4.5 Applications of the best practices to the analysis of the industry:

Quality Assurance

Quality Assurance is an organized department in Beximco Textile Ltd. which deals with ensuring
the quality of the product up to the end user.

The activities of Quality Assurance of Beximco are as follows:

1. Approval of source.
2. Checking of Dispensing operation.
3. In process checking of all production area.
4. Product sampling , release.
5. Product complaint handling.

up-dating.

15. Communication of every aspects relating to quality to all relevant persons for early positive
action.

16. Ensuring product Stability.

17. Ensuring adequate training program..

CHAPTER FIVE PROBLEM &

RECOMMENDATION
5.1 Problem in Work Place

Internal Problem
From the sample part or the development part, the problem Harriet has to face is the lace
problem. The matching of the lace was almost going impossible as buyer‟s expectation
because the lace is a fancy item and due to its shrinking it was needed to be sourced more
and more which was expensive and due to unavailability of it, the sample was hung for
further procedure.

Washing requirements was also a bit problem that BEXIMCO needed to overcome that it
wanted the ACRU look which is the pure fade white type of color garment becomes after
bleach wash. This was hard to achieve because of trims color as in bulk production
garments are washed in heavy machine mixing huge amount of garments. So, when all the
 garments mix together sometimes color split so, keeping the fresh look is a challenge. So,
supplier needs to request buyer to take the garment as closest as possible.

The fabric of Harriet is tencel which is an imported fabric and for this it takes generally 45
days for development to production. Generally it takes 25 days. They have 14 days to
shipment but the fabric needs more than this to be ready. So, this is a huge tension for
supplier to maintain the quality and workmanship with this constrained time for shipment.

Communication gap between the management stuffs can stretch the process as for their bit
ignorance an approval could have been sent for several times and organization can face a
big loss.
External Problems

External problems include the monitory policy and the exchange rate of foreign transaction.
BEXIMCO needs to import many items from abroad due to the unavailability of our
production capacity. So, the cost sometimes gets higher because locally sourced products
can not meet the quality. In that case, if the exchange rate increases it has to face slight
money constraint.

In case of RMG buyers China, Hong Kong, Taiwan is the competitor suppliers of
Bangladesh. So, buyers can choose anyone if they do not get in competitive price. This is
also depended on the relationship with the local office of buyers as they are the media of
communicating with suppliers. So, maintaining a good relationship is important for
suppliers.

Price margin is fixed from buyer. So, supplier should have a bull’s eye forecast to maintain
the price margin given by buyer. If they can not go with it then, the order can be cancelled.
 Demand of buyer sometimes go beyond the possible capacities and can be changed at the
very last moment of time which is a big risk for supplier that at the last moment production
can be hampered as well as the assembly line.

Unrest of country’s political and business condition is a reason of losing the confidence of
buyer to continue the business with Bangladeshi supplier.
Recommendation:

BEXIMCO Apparels Ltd. is the largest textile group in Bangladesh. It has outstanding reputation
in the global market for excellence. It is a composite factory where they have all the sectors of
woven and knit item like spinning, knitting, dyeing, printing, embroidery, accessories, and
garments production. So, this is huge in case of production and maintenance both.

However, this huge organization is not facing profit due to many of reasons what I have
observed from the internship period-

Supply chain or procurement department is not very strong in this company which causes
that the merchandisers procure all the raw materials of garments that‟s why they feel more
pressure to complete shipment and some time also over the shipment date then company
should pay the extra money for air shipment. So when supply chain department procure all
the raw materials then merchandiser can easily shipment the goods within lead time.

Planning department of operation should be strong and the time management should be
followed. Here, productivity is low due to less command of the authority towards the
production. It should be increased for the higher productivity.

Quality assurance system should be modernized because quality is the top priority of all
international buyers.
 Working environment should be increased
Pay scale is very poor which is needed to be increased because company will lose potential
employees due to their policy.

Distribution of power should be well managed and transparency among the workers and
the management should be followed.

The organization is one of the biggest organizations in Bangladesh and contributing the highest
amount of GDP in the economy but if it follows these areas then it will be among the greatest in
the region.

CHAPTER SIX

SHORT AND LONG RANGE EFFECT OF THE

CONTRIBUTION TO THE INDUSTRY
ORGANIZATION
6.1 Short Range Effects

Short-term goals are specific objectives that your company aims to reach over several weeks, or
months, and no more than one year. Your short-term goals are smaller, subsets of goals that you
set in order to achieve your long-term goal. They should be easily obtainable, and easily
measurable, so that you can evaluate your progress towards the long-term goals.

Examples

You know that the long-term goal of your company is to be nationally recognized for excellent
customer service. To achieve this long-term goal, you want to set smaller goals that your company
can work on over the next several weeks and months.

6.2 Long Range Effects

Setting long-term business goals is the most important task for any manager and leader. Long term
business goals show you and your team where you are headed and, more importantly, how you get
there.

With Weekdone you can use the Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) methodology to to set
inspiring and impactful goals for your company. Weekdone allows you to link Objectives with
each other vertically, so that you can see how individual goals of your employees tie into the
overall Objective of your company.
Examples

Goal: Implement regular usage of OKRs and Weekdone.

Conduct an all-hands team meeting to introduce OKRs and Weekdone software.

Everyone keeps their forms up to date at all times.
People give regular feedback to others weekly.

Get well acquainted with and configure Weekdone.

Acquired a lot of tasks such as planning to work the entire day following the TNA. I know
how much time I waste so I learn about the importance of time, I learn to review and
address all the emails every day, I learn about the proper monitoring procedure when
producing a SRS or FIT or PP or TOP sample, even in bulk manufacturing. Particularly
a sample of the purchaser must be taken by a merchant prior to acceptance. If the sample
fails, the merchant needs to communicate with the buyer and the problem needs to be
resolved as soon as possible and the sample is returned for approval to the buyer. Then
we know that in order to do this job we need to work on the material design as per buyer
specification, the GSM needs to be correct, the measuring needs to be perfect, the trims
and accessories need to be perfect, the sewing thread, the hanging

label, the embroidery, the writing, the washing need to be perfect. And that is what a
merchant has to do. We have therefore obtained from the connection all of this
obligation.

I think the attachment will influence my future career plans because I don't have any idea
of a corporate life at university, even I don’t have any better practical
knowledge about the working process and machinery use in textile industry, but when I do
the attachment and stay in BEXIMCO INDUSTRIAL PARK for the last two months, I can
make my own blend to a corporate life also I have better idea about the practical knowledge
and the process of using the machinery which done many operation to produce a garments.
So from here I learn a lot of skills and can increase my qualifications besides increasing
our responsibilities for my work now. So I know what is my work right now, we know
where is my success, I know different kinds of people, I know how to handle different
kinds of people, I know how to do any work with more efficiency. That's why I think the
attachment influence me in the future. In this two-month period, I communicate with many
respectable people such as different sections manager, different sections deputy manager,
different sections department head, group director, etc. This affects me, because if I work
hard, I can also gain a good and honorable position in the future. I want to see me in a
better position after a few years. This attachment teaches me a lot of important tasks, if I
can apply this all then I can catch up very quickly with some better position.

CONCLUSION
Conclusion

During the Industrial Training at Beximco Industrial Park I have been exposed to various
activities and tasks in this company indirectly. Exposure to real working environment is
good for student as trainers, especially to open the minds and brains to be more creative
and highly knowledgeable, students can also identify and address issues that often arise in
real work situations. It will further enhance the student's ability to think, learn
independently and solve Problems effectively and more importantly can produce creative
work.

In review this internship has been an excellent and rewarding experience. I have been able
to meet and network with so many people that we are sure will be able to help me

with opportunities in the future.

One main thing that I have learned through this internship is time management skills as
well as self-motivation. When I first started I did not think that I an going to be able to
make Myself sit in an office for Ten hours a day, six days a week. Once I realized what I
had to do I organized my day and work so that I am not overlapping or wasting my hours.
During the training period I received co-operation and association from the authority and
officers, who were very sincerely and devoted to their duties to achieve their goal.

At last I want to say that this journey was not possible without the help of our honorable
supervisor Dr. ANM Ahmed ullah, our honorable chairman Mr. Muzaffar U. Siddique and
our honorable all teachers. I am really thankful to you all for giving me this

opportunity and for helping me in every ways.
