CONCLUSION

I undergone training in knitting of IE Industry private ltd.I have noticed and

speculated how the knitting are produced. I learned their strategies; it makes me
interested in the field of knits. Feeling great and I dedicate my thanks to PSG CAS for
this tenement over the students, I learned theoretically about the business and its
management strategies even though I am not clear about this business management
because of this practical experience, I am clear about the strategies of the business
management.
I had an educative experience in the field of knitting.
Modern circular knitting machines feature on-board computers (CPU)
complete with a display and a keyboard to monitor and control the most important
functions;
 Speed
 Number of machine revolutions (R.P.M.)

21
  Working hours
 Causes of machine stops
 Detector of the yarn length into the machine.

On modern microprocessor-controlled machines, the LCD display(TOUCH

SCREEN) is equipped with an alphanumeric keyboard for entering the operator’s
settings. The whole system is controlled by an electronic circuit which signals the
status of the machine and the possible causes of machine stops by means of flashing
lights.
