Manufacturing Process
Bhiwani textile mills manufacturing products types yarn & fabric. The main
operation involved in the production of yarn & fabric and called spinning and
weaving. Here are the sub sssprocesses carried out in the executing of these
operations.
Carding
Laps from blow room are brought to the carding machines. The main objectives
of carding are opening, cleaning and silver formation of fibre. Hence, for the
first time in the spinning process, the fibres are given the form of a top. silver
infact are thick rope like structures of the fiber kept in big plastic drums.
carding remove every impurity from fiber that had remained in it even after
blowing.
Doubling
Sometimes we required double yarn. this is mostly required to give some fancy
effect. we can multiply 2,3 or more yarn by the process of doubling. This
9
involves two machines-cheese winding machine and double machine. cones
from winding machines are fed to the cheese winding and double machine.
cones from winding machines are fed to
the cheese winding and we get bobbins, on which 2 or more yarns are would in
a parallel fashion. Then on doubling machine these parallel yarns are twist
according to the specification. Here the bobbins again get converted into cones.
Drawing
Silvers are converted into more uniform silvers. The main objective of drawing
is parallalization of fibres .It increases the uniformity and evenness of the fibre.
Drawing in
This is the stage, where basic information takes place irrespective of the colors.
These designs are called weaves & can be of various types-mat, twill, planes,
double weave etc. In drawing in stage, yarn from weaver’s beam is drawn
through healed eye and reed (two parts used on looms to produce design ) in
accordance with the predetermined design for a particular fabric.
Without drawing in process, it is impossible to have desired design
on loom. After drawing in the beam is ready for weaving.
10
and at very high temperature. But viscous require wet dyes (i.e. the dyes which
are easily soluble in water). The fabric is washed after dyeing both these parts.
Fabric printing is of two types screen printing &roller printing.
After the processing for printing & or dyeing the fabric of every type is properly
washed and dried.
Folding
The finished fabric is brought to this section for checking and folding. It is also
part of quality control at BTM. The fabric is manually checked inch by inch.
This inspection is done for finding any faults and removing them if removable.
If faults cross a limit in certain quality, the fabric is rejected and sold under
seconds.
The checked cloth is folded in the form of ‘Thans’ and ‘pent length’
(P.L.S.) standard length of a than varies from 6 to 12 meters, pent length is a
length is 1.20 meters of cloths, length of cloth lesser than P.L. are graded as-
- Superior : 91cm. To1.19 mts.
- Fants : 45 cm. To 90 cm.
-Rags : 25 cm. To 44 cm.
-cindi : below 25 cm.
Finishing:
Mended clothes are further processed in the finishing section. Finishing is
one of the most important processes, because the fall, luster and drape of the
final product (i.e. cloth) depends largely upon it. Some other functions that this
section can perform are making the cloth fireproof, shrink- proof, wrinkle proof,
water proof etc. mainly three processes are carried out in this section-
processing, dyeing and printing.
11
Loom shed (weaving):
looms are the actual weaving machines. Here yarn runs in two directions-
lengthwise and breadth wise. The yarn running lengthwise on the loom is called
‘warp’ and the running breadth wise is called ‘weft’. The cloth produced at this
stage is called ‘grey cloth’. This is produced by inserting weft yarn in warp
sheet according to predetermined design of reeds and picks. ‘reed’ and ‘picks’
are respectively the number of ends
warpwise and weftwise in one square inch of fabric which are essential parts of
looms..
Mending:
The grey cloth from the loom-shed is brought for mending. The full length of
the cloth is manually checked here and the defects are removed by hand scissors
and other equipment. Most of the removable defects in fabric get removed here.
12
Processing
In this subsection ,the long thread which remain loosely attached to the surface
of the fabric are removed first of all. After that, small hairy fibres projecting
from the surface of the fabric and certain is impurities like dust and waxy
material etc. are also removed. The fabric is then thoroughly washed to remove
mandi from it. It is dried then and passed on a stenter machine, where by the
process of Heat set the shrinkage of cloth is removed and by chemical
processing, lusture & shine are produces
Packaging
Each than is wrapped over a separate sheet of thick card board. Then each then
is packed in a polythene bag and sent to warehouse. Pent length are sent such to
warehouse(i.e. without packing). In warehouse, the thans and P.L.S. are packed
in different packages, according to the order of parties. The cloth is now ready
to be transport to the dealers.
Reeling
Yarn can be wound in the form of hanks also in places of cones if the customer
demands it so. The process of making hanks is called reeling. Bobbins from ring
frame are fed to the reeling machine & we get hanks.
Ring frame
The roving are converted into smaller sized bobbins in this process. The main
objectives of ring frames are to increase the twist and length of the roving from
of fibre and thus convert it into ‘yarn’ – the final product. So ring frame is the
final stage in yarn production. At this stage twists are given according to the
customers specifications. Due to excessive thinning, the yarn can break here. In
13
order to avoid such breakages and unevenness in the yarn, the relative humidity
is kept at about 65% in this section.
Simplex
The silver drums get converted into smaller roving here. The main objectives of
this process are to increase the length and strength of the rope from of the fibre.
This is the stage prior of spinning , twist is introduced here and thinning of the
rope begins.
Sizing
Sizing is a chemical treating of yarn beams the objective of sizing are:
# To provide further strengh to the yarn to withstand the tension while running
on the loom and hence reduce breakages.
# To protect the yarn from various type of insects.
Various material are used in sizing include-strach adhesives, fitting
materials and insectiside sets. The beam after sizing is called weaver beam
Spinning
This is the process of conversion of fibre into yarn. fabric are two types natural
and syntheic fibre. But B.T.M use of the later only. Polyester, viscose, Acrylic,
Nylon, Orlon, Triolobale etc. are various sub-types of synthetic fibre, which are
being used by B.T.M. The production system of yarn can be shown as:
Input Transportation Output
(Fibre) Process (spg.) (Yarn)
Warpping
14
This is the first sub process in weaving. Here the yarn is used to form beams
main objective of wrapping are-
To form a beam
To remove weal places
To remove slub and fluff etc.
Wrapping consists in arranging side by side, a large number of yarn ends to
form a sheet of wrapped round an iron rod. This on iron rod. This sheet on iron
rod is called Beam.
and continuous yarn length, suitable for the weaving process. It also removes
weak places in the yarn. The main function of winding machine therefore are to
convert bobbins into cones and remove any slubs or fluffs from the yarn. Slub is
a yarn defect of unevenness.
Weaving
Synthetic yarn is used as the input process and the end product obtained is
fabric. So weaving is the process of converting yarn into fabric.

Introduction of the study
Every workplace is unique. It is important for you to understand and define the
values, goals, policies, and practices that describe your organization. If you can
clearly express who you are and what you’re looking for, your recruitment
efforts will be more successful because
prospective applicants can assess their “fit” with your needs.
Good recruitment begins with good planning. Before you get started, ask
yourself some important questions. Take the time to find out the answers before
you place that ad or post the “help wanted” sign. The following graphic
highlights some of the important topics you need
to consider before moving ahead

What’s coming up that might create the need to hire new workers? For
example, increased sales or new product lines, new technology,
anticipated turnover.
Who or what can provide you with this information?
For example, strategic plans, sales reports, records of past
hiring patterns, line managers and others “in the know.”

As you plan your talent search, be creative. Rather than targeting the same
workers and using the same strategies as everyone else, consider your
options. All of the following populations face barriers to employment and
may have a lot to offer your organization.
This step might be as simple as adding the question.”how do you hear about
us? record keeping using a chart like the following template will help you to
evaluate the stratigies you choose.having the flowchart ready at the onset of

RECRUITMENT & SELECTION PROCEDURE
21
Recruitment
It is the process of defining a job and attracting applicants for the vacant
post. It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for
employment. the process begins when new recruits are sought and ends
when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from
which new applicants are selected.
Selection
It is the process of choosing the most appropriate candidate to fill the
post from among all those who apply.

Approach
The recruitment system could be triggered for use in two modes
Proactive
Responsive.
I Proactive
In the proactive mode, the HR dept would typically identify new manpower
requirements at the beginning of the financial year. These requirements
could be based on proposed/planned business development, expansions,
manpower productivity, planned manpower attribution and other factors
24
unique to the business conditions of the unit. In this mode, a near accurate
identification of manpower requirements for the year by the unit would be
carried out.
Stage 2) Assessment:
The HR would discuss the requisition with concerned HOD, aiming at
assessing the same, addressing the concerns like reporting relationships,
responsibilities, timelines by which they would like the position to be filled,
etc.
The Recruitment Incharge would create position profile for the said position
in construction with the concerned DH and FH.
Stage 3) Approval:
The raised manpower requisition (after all brainstorming) would be
forwarded to the unit head for approval along with documents supporting the
same like JD, job profile, dept’s organization chart (both old and revised
with modifications highlighted). Here the HR Head and unit head would
brainstorm on each and every new position to be created, deciding whether
25
or not t go ahead and also to decide whether the position would be
permanent or temporary.
II Responsive:
In his mode recruitment is against any unplanned events such as resignation,
termination, etc.
Stage 3) Timelines:
After discussion with HOD & FH , the HR Head would decide the time limit
for fulfilling the vacancy.
Stage 4) Approval
26
:After the creation of position profile & JD, the recruitment Incharge would
take permission from the unit head and the head HR for initiation of the
recruitment process for the said position. The documents required for the
same would be:
-position profile /JD/TRF
-Organo gram of the dept
corporate HR would focus on the positions at the level of general managers
and above, however it would service positions at other levels i.e. DGMs and
below, only if asked by the recruiti

INITIATION OF RECRUITMENT PROCESS
PROCESS NORMS
MODES OF RECRUITMENT
A Internal sources used
Internal sources are usually more cost effective and less time consuming.
internal recruitment also boost the level of motivation amongst the existing
workforce by opening new avenues of growth for them. The various sources
can be like Inter departmental relocation, employee referral etc.
a) Relocation:
In the Interdepartmental relocation the recruitment Incharge would
have to circulate the details of the opening to all notice boards (after
seeking approval from the head HR only )
Promotions and transfers from among the present employees can be a good
source of recruitment.
In this if a employs self realize he is cabable of doing a higher job
than,there is a actual form provited to him to fill and after that make whether
to relocate him or not
b)Employee referrals:
29
The RI would also have to maintain a databank of all the referrals
coming to him/her from time to time.
One of the best source for individuals who will perform effectively on the
job is a recommendation from a current employee .An employee will rarely
recommend someone unless he or she believes that the individual can
perform adequately.
d) Previous application:
Those who have previously apply for jobs can be contacted by mails, a quick
and inexpensive way to fill an opening.
30
a) Advertisement in newspaper (National as well
as state details)
When an organization desired to communicate to the public that it has a
vacancy, advertisement are one of the most popular method used.
The higher the position in the organization ,the more specialized is the
skills, the more widely dispersed the advertisement is likely to be. The
search for a top executive might include an advertisement in a national
periodical, for example. on the other hand, the advertisement of lower level
jobs is usually confined to the local daily newspaper or regional trade
journals.
b) Job sites:
It is a very easy method to describe vacancies on some
job sites available on internet. Some of the job sites like
Timesjob.com ,
Naukri.com ,
Monster.com ,
Jobsahead.com , etc.
c) educational campuses
Selection process
Screening of CVs
After the generation of a pool of applicants, the Recruitment incharge needs to
create a mix of selection tools to evaluate and finalize the right person. The
Recruitment Incharge would screen all the received resumes using the job
specification.
31
The screened CVs will be forwarded to concerned HOD or FH
The purpose of screening is to remove from the recruitment
process, at an early stage, those candidates who are visibly qualified for the job.
Effective screening can a great deal of time and money.
32
Selection tools for technical position
The screened candidate would be called to the campus for interview. The target
departments under this category would be:
Production planning and control,
Design and development, weaving,
Spinning,
Folding,
Fiber dyeing and yarn development,
Processing,
Logistics ,
Quality assurance.
Salary Negotiation
Recruitment Incharge would take expected salary limit from the candidate. Any
salary offer would be made only after consultation with the concerned DH/FH
and Compensation Incharge. All salary offers made would be as per the existent
33
matrix in the organization leaving no scope of internal equity or any
disappointment/discontentment in the mind of the finalized candidate. The
recruitment Incharge will do all salary negotiations.
Orientation checklist
The recruitment incharge would ensure completion of all joining
formalities:
Issue of attandance card.
PF formalities
Issue of induction plan.
Mobile connection
All internal communication.
Creation of personnel file.
Reimbursement of Traveling expence.
34
The recruitment Incharge would have to:
35
The annual HR budget will have a specific approval of the recruitment
expanses as per the budget. The Head HR is empowered to incur the
recruitment related expanses as per the budget.
36
Exit interview
This interview is taken by HR head
The exit Interview is a useful source of information analying a vacancy in
terms of:
Monitoring the effectiveness of recruitment of recruitment process eg.
Has there been a mismatch of the candidate to the post.
Assessing the accuracy of the job content
Resolving any problem in the working environment .

assign 4 marks. If the candidate is on average side means neither very
good nor very bad, then they should assign 3 marks.If the candidate at
all good ,then they should assign 2 marks, and if the candidate is poor,
then they should assign 1 marks.
Like this the judging panel each can assign marks for each and every

to find which stand at highest score. This is very rational & systematic
method of assessing the candidates b,coz even f any number of

CHAPTER - 2
REVIEW OF LITRATURE
2.1 Recruitment
Recruitment is one of the major functions of HRM. It helps the manager to attract and select
best candidates for the organization. Parry & Wilson (2009) stated that “recruitment includes
those practices and activities carried out by the organization with the primary purpose of
identifying and attracting potential employees”. As success of service sector as in case of
civil aviation industry depends upon the human capital, recruitment & selection of the right
people into the service business is crucial to achieve organizational success (Zheng, 2009).
Raymond J. Stone (2005) in the fifth edition of his book Human Resource Management
defines recruitment as the process of ‘seeking and attracting a pool of applicants from which
qualified candidates for job vacancies within an organization can be selected.’ According to
Edwin B. Flippo, “Recruitment is the process of searching the candidates for employment
and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization”. (1979) Recruitment is an activity
that links the employers and the job seekers. So we can say that recruitment is a process of
finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process begins when new
recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of
applications from which new employees are selected. In simple terms, recruitment is
understood as the process of searching for and obtaining applicants for jobs, from among
whom the right people can be selected. Though, theoretically, recruitment process is said to
end with the receipt of applications, in practice the activity extends to the screening of
applications so as to eliminate those who are not qualified for the job.
41
employer to advertize heavily and/or seek assistance from local employment agencies.
(Snell, 2012) Labour-market conditions in a local area are of primary importance in
recruiting for most non-managerial, supervisory and middle-management positions.
(Mandy, 1981) However, so far as recruitment for executive and professional
positions is concerned, conditions of all India market are important.
Another external factor is political and legal considerations. Reservation of jobs for
SCs, STs, minorities, and OBCs is a political decision. There is a strong case for
giving preference to people hailing from less-advantaged sections of the society.
Reservation has been accepted as inevitable by all sections of the society. The
Supreme Court also has agreed upon 50 percent reservation of seats and jobs.
In India, we have central and state acts dealing with labour. They cover working
conditions, compensation, retirement benefits, and safety and health of employees in
industrial establishments. There are acts which deal with recruitment and selection.
We have the Employment Exchange (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act,
1959, which mandates that employers (industrial establishments employing 25
workers each and above) must notify the vacant positions to the employment
exchanges. The Apprentices Act 1961, the Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation
of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979, the Factories Act, 1948, and
the Mines Act, 1952 also deal with recruitment. Above all these, we have the
Constitution which prohibits discrimination in matters of employment and also
provides for protective discrimination to the less-priviledged sections of the society.
Preferences to sons of the soil is another political factor. Political leaders clamour that
preferences must be given to the people of their respective states in matters of
employment.
The employment brand of the organization also matters in attracting large number of
job seekers. Blue chip companies attract large number of applications. Often, it is not
the money that is important. It is the perception of the job seekers about the company
that matters in attracting qualified prospective employees.
B) Internal Factors
The above are some of the external factors influencing the recruitment function of an
organization. In addition to these, there are certain internal forces which deserve
consideration while recruiting personnel.
42
One such internal factor is the recruiting policy of the organization. Most
organizations have policies on recruiting internally (from own employees) or
externally (from outside the organization). Generally, the policy is to prefer internal
sourcing, as own employees know the company well and can recommend candidates
who fit the organization’s culture.
Another related policy is to have temporary and part-time employees. “Temps” are
typically used for short-term assignments or to help when managers cannot justify
hiring a full-time employee, such as for vacation fill-ins, for peak work periods, or
during an employee’s pregnancy leave or sick leave. Increasingly, temps are being
employed to fill positions once staffed by permanent employees. This practice is
growing because temps can be laid off quickly, and with less cost, when work lessens.
(Snell, 2012)
In multinational corporations (MNCs), there is the policy relating to the recruitment
of local citizens. MNCs operating in our country prefer local citizens as they can
understand the local languages, customs, and business practices better. A major
internal factor that can determine the success of the recruiting program is whether or
not the company engages in Human Resource Planning. In most cases, a company
cannot attract prospective employees in sufficient numbers and with required skills
overnight. It takes time to examine the alternatives regarding the appropriate sources
of recruits and the most productive methods for obtaining them. Once the best
alternatives have been identified, recruiting plans may be made. (Mandy, 1981)
Effective HRP greatly facilitates the recruiting efforts.
Size is another internal factor having its influence on the recruiting process. An
organization with one hundred thousand employees will find recruiting less
problematic than an organization with just one hundred employees.
Cost of recruiting is yet another internal factor that has to be considered. Recruiting
costs are calculated per new hire and the figure is considerable now-a-days. Recruiters
must, therefore, operate within budgets. Careful HRP and forethought by recruiters
can minimize recruitment costs. One cost saving measure, for instance, is recruiting
for multiple job openings simultaneously. The best solution is to use proactive
personnel practices to reduce employee turnover, thus, minimizing the need for
recruiting. Evaluating the quality, quantity and costs of recruitment helps ensure that
it is efficient and cost-effective. (Werther, 1993)
43
Finally, an organization registering growth and expansion will have more recruiting
on hand than the one which finds its fortunes declining.
44
they complete an application form early in the process. Individuals frequently
exaggerate or overstate their qualifications on a resume. They also omit unflattering
information. The consequences of falsifying information on application and resumes
are frequently high. One technique for anticipating problems of misrepresentation is
to ask applicants to transcribe specific resume material onto a standardized
application form. The applicant is then asked to sign a statement that the information
contained on the form is true and that he or she accepts the employer’s right to
terminate the candidate’s employment if any of the information is subsequently found
to be false. (Babock, 2003)
2.2.1.3 Preliminary Interview
The applications received from job seekers would be subject to scrutiny so as to
eliminate unqualified applicants as a part of recruitment. This is usually followed by a
preliminary interview the purpose of which is more or less the same as scrutiny of
applications. Scrutiny enables the HR specialists to eliminate unqualified job seekers
based on the information supplied in their application form. Preliminary interview, on
the other hand, helps reject misfits for reasons which did not appear in the application
forms. Besides, preliminary interview, often called “courtesy interview”, is a good
public relations exercise.
2.2.1.4 Selection Tests
Selection tests are also called Employment Tests. Job seekers who pass the screening
and the preliminary interview are called for tests. Different types of tests may be
administered, depending on the job and the organization. Generally tests are used to
determine the applicant’s ability, aptitude and personality. The employment test is an
objective and standardized measure of a sample of behavior that is used to gauge a
person’s knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics (KSAOs) in relation to
other individuals. (Anastasi, 1997) Ability Tests assist in determining how well an
individual can perform tasks related to the job. An aptitude test helps determine a
person’s potential to learn in a given area. (Mandy, 1981)
Relevance of Tests: A number of researchers in India and abroad have enquired the
relevance and significance of various psychological tests for selection of personnel for
various categories. Stromberg (1948) has pointed out that an organization using tests
attracts a higher level of applicants. Schultz (1984) argued that tests and other
personnel selection procedures were helpful in selecting good employees. In his
analysis, test utility studies showed the value of selection for increasing productivity.
45
Chatterjee (1965) conducted a study to assess the extent of application for
psychological tests in India.
Personality tests are given to measure a prospective employee’s motivation to
function in a particular working environment. There are various tests designed to
assess a candidate’s personality. The Bernsenter Personality Inventory measures one’s
self-sufficiency, neurotic tendency, sociability, introversion and extroversion, locus of
control and self confidence. The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) assesses an
individual’s achievement and motivation levels. Other personality tests, such as the
California Psychological Inventory (CPI), the Thurstone Temperament Survey (TTS),
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory(MMPI)and GuilfordZimmerman
Temperament Survey, have been designed to assess specific personality traits. The
predictive validity of personality tests historically has been quite low.

1. Owing to paucity of time, the data could not be analyzed through developed tools.
2. Adequate literature was not available in the BTM.
3. Lack of full cooperation from employees because when I demanded more
information about the company they refused and said it is against their code of
conduct.
4. The study has been conducted with a sample size of 50 respondents. The size of
sample is small, the accuracy of the analysis of data could be vague and
ambiguous.
