Strength:

Square Textiles Ltd. is a rapidly expending Company. Standing its journey in 1998 it has already doubled the net turnover by the year of 2006. All the units of the factory enjoy highly of machinery are imported from Germany, Switzerland, Italy & Japan. As a result it can maintain a smooth rate of production. Well trained human recourses are strength of the Company. They train up their key personally in the country and abroad. So the Company can get some competitive advantages over the competitions. The HRM practice is also remarkable.

Weakness:

There are too many departments under the super vision of the general manager which can cause low productivity due to large span of supervision. We have found absenteeism and labor turnover rate is high might be low productivity. And another weakness is non skilled and semi-skilled worker is more than skilled worker.

Opportunity:

There are bright opportunities for the Company in the overseas market. If it can communicate well and capture a significant market portion in the Europe and USA market, it can get scale of economic.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMEDATIONS

Findings: Textile industry is a comparatively new in our country. The size of the industry is still growing. Square Textiles Limited is one of the first movers in this sector. Starting only in 1997, it has managed to be grown up as one of the country’s leading Textile Company. Its increase turnover has been significantly increasing, since 1997-2007. It is providing employment to a large number of skilled and unskilled people all over the country.

Recommendations: From the analysis with the organization structure we have seen that its span of super vision is too large. A number of departments report directly to the general manager. If the number were less the efficiency and productivity of the organization might be increased. Quality control department should remain prompt always. So that it can maintain a certain level of standard as per the market demand to capture the foreign market share it should strive more. Marketing strategy and area need to be increased worldwide. Attendant Bonus will bring job satisfaction which might be control absenteeism and labor turnover rate.

Though Square Textile is a newly ventured Company in the respective sector, its growth and expansion is praiseworthy. It’s contributing the country and serving the nation in different ways.
