INTRODUCTION AND DESIGN OF THE STUDY

Introduction
Production of handloom cloths has Several Processes. This process can be broadly
categorized as preloom and post loom activities. In addition to weaving production of a
cloth depends upon the designs used type of looms and capacity of the weaver’s
individual skill. Production is creation of goods and services. The production
management is concerned with the production process that is with all the decisions,
Activities, Restraints, Controls and plans which as Harding puts it, “Enable the process to
convert these inputs into outputs”. Production management deals with decision making
related to production processes, So that the resulting goods or services are produced
according to the specifications in the quantities and by the Schedules demanded and at the
minimum costs.

E.L. Brech may be defined as, “Production Management is the process of effective
planning and regulating of that section of an Enterprise which is responsible for the actual
transformation of materials into finished products”.

Importance of Production Management

1. Production is a line activity in any Business Organization.

2. To improve the quality of goods and controlling the cost of good quality and
Reasonable.
3. The production management department of any manufacturing organization
makes it possible the other department’s activity.

3
Objectives of Production Management

1. To purchase raw materials and appliances, tools and machinery including spares as
may be required for the industry and to sell the same to the member Societies.
2. To purchase or receive for sale, the finished products of the member Societies by
opening sales units Godowns, Exhibitions etc., with in the State.
3. To establish and run sales units with in and outside the area of operation for
Exhibition and sale of products of member Societies.
4. To hold, own, establish and hire processing units to under take and provide
processing including dyeing, mercerizing, Printing and furnishing etc., for all types
of yarn and cloth, to the member Societies and to other institutions and individuals.
5. To advise and render assistance to member Societies in preparation of production
Programmes design development product diversification and such qualitative
improvement as may be necessary in the products produced by the member
Societies to be in tune with the consumer tastes and market demand.
6. To arrange for the training of weavers sponsored by the member Societies in
improved methods of weaving and latest techniques and also for the training of its
own employees in sales techniques accountancy and business administration etc.,

Production Planning

Production planning is to implement the production policy of the organization

effectively. John Kelley laid down the following factors for the success of production
planning.

1. To Gear up suitable production policy.

2. To produce what is required, when it is required at minimum cost.
3. To the Labour force through a series of targets. So that they have some
conception of objectives.
4. Flexible, so that inevitable delays can be off set.

4
Objectives of Production planning
1. To ensure that material and components are available when and where required.
2. To produce a steady flow of work through all departments.
3. To preserve a balance of work.
4. To provide management with information to correct for possible delays and
difficulties before they arise or become serious.

Types / Systems of production

Systems of Production

Job Production Batch Production Mass Production

Improve the production Measures

1. Improving the quality of the goods through training at weavers.

2. Identifying extended markets other than Co-cooptex as the Society has to depend
on Co-cooptex for Sales.
3. Seeking export marketing through export agents as the Society is very near to
Karur Town, the major textile exporting city in Tamil Nadu and,
4. Establishing in house dyeing and warping facilities to reduce the thorough out
time.

5
Production Control

The production control must establish a means of continued evaluation of

customer demand, capital position, productive capacity, Manpower etc.

Functions of Production Control

1. To forecast the demand for products, expressing quantity as a function of time.

2. To monitor actual demand, compare it with forecast demand, and revise forecast
if necessary.
3. To establish economic lot sizes for purchased and for manufacturing products.
4. To establish economic inventory systems.
5. To establish production requirements and inventory levels of specific points in
time.
6. To make detailed production schedules job assignments, machine loadings, etc.,
7. To do project planning using CPM,PERT etc.,

Statement of the Problem

The Handloom Sector plays a very important role in India’s economy. The
th
weaver’s production and marketing societies have emerged in the early 19 century. The
handloom industry generates production at low capital cost; mostly use indigenous raw
material utilize local skills, widen the entrepreneurial base, facilitate balanced regional
growth and prevent the migration of labour to the metropolitan areas. Tamil Nadu has
been a traditional home for weaving industry where there is heavy concentration of
handloom weavers. They are 1386 primary handloom weavers Cooperative Societies
(PWCSS) in the state along with a state level federation Viz., The Tamil Nadu handloom
weavers Cooperative Society limited (Co-cooptex). The PWCSS are mostly production
Organizations and the Co-cooptex under take extensive marketing of handloom products
of primary weavers Cooperative societies.

Handloom industry has been playing a pivotal role in Indian economy. Handloom is
being a traditional; rural and Semi-urban. Cottage industry is highly Labour intensive in
character. In this context, handloom weavers Cooperative societies have been organized
in our country with ultimate aim of proliferating the socio economic lives of millions of
handloom weavers. However weavers Cooperatives were not functioning neither to the
expectation of members nor have accomplished the objective for which they are
organized. Every year stock, piles up, move than fifteen percent of weaver members are
thrown away from regular employment, Weavers Cooperative find it very hard in
competing with large scales mill sector and private power loom sector textile products.
Under this situation, what are the functions they perform? How do they perform? Do they
adopt effective method approach for production and marketing of their product? With a
view to finding answers to those and such other issues, the researchers have taken up a
study on production management of selected primary weavers Cooperatives Societies in
Chinnalapatty. Hence this small exercises.

Title of the Study

A study on the production performance of the Handloom weavers

Cooperatives in Chinnalapatty.

Objectives

1. To study the Production Management and its performance in the primary

weavers Cooperative Societies in Chinnalapatty.
2. To summarize the findings and conclusions.

Methodology

The study aims at analyzing the production management performance of the

weavers Cooperative societies in a detailed manner. There were 7 weavers Cooperatives
functioning in Chinnalapatty and all those 7 Societies were selected for the study.
Therefore it is census study. The study will rely mainly on secondary data collected from
the sources of ledgers, Production file, Account books, Audit reports and Financial
Statements. Discussions with the Officials responsible for production activities will be
held to get further information and clarifications.

Definitions of concepts
Handloom:

Handloom means any cloth woven on handloom from Cotton, Silk, Woolen Yarn or
a mixture of mill yarns. A handloom uses human power for undertaking all the motions
in weaving operation.

8
Handloom Society:

Handloom society means a primary handloom weavers Cooperative production and

sales Society, registered under the societies Act of the Government of Tamil Nadu, 1975.
These Societies are governed by the Cooperatives Act of the Government of Tamil Nadu.

Production Management:

Production, though it is often thought of as the processes involved in the operation of

a manufacturing plant, is not restricted to the making of material objects; it may also
include the performance of services. Production management is concerned with planning
and controlling the process of production so that, it moves smoothly as the required level.

Tools for Data Collection

A Comprehensive interview schedule was prepared. The items like production

quantity and value of Art silk, Cora cotton and polyester are included. The authorities of
the societies Viz., special officer and manager of these societies were interviewed to
relevant information pertaining to research collect.

Tools for Analysis

The data collected was tabulated under proper heads. Depending on the
necessity, the tables formulated they were mostly of two way tables. Based on the
tabulated figures, analysis was done followed by inferences. In course of analysis of data
simple statistical tools namely averages, percentages, ratios and related tools were used.

Reference Period

The study covers a period of ten years from 1997-98 to 2006-07.

9
Scope and Limitations of the Study

Since, the investigator have analyzed only 7 Societies of Chinnalapatty, the

conclusion they have made, may not be applicable as such to other societies. Due to lack
of time and other resources they restricted to 7 societies. The analysis and results of the
study cannot be generalized.

Chapter Scheme
1. The first chapter deals with Introduction and Design of the study.
2. The second chapter deals with production management of the selected weavers
Cooperative societies.
3. The last chapter exhibits the findings and conclusions of the study

 This table explains about the volume of production of the Anna Society. The
society producing four types of cloths namely polyester, Art silk, Cora and cotton. The
total volume of production of the society for the study period was 7.68 lakh meters the
Annual Average being 0.76 lakh meters of the four types of cloths. The Society
concentrates on cotton variety with 39percent followed by Cora cotton cloths with
24percent. The quantum of variety wise production shows a fluctuating trend in all the
years but then, the Year 2006 – 07 witnessed with high volume of production of cotton
18percent, Cora Cotton17percent and Art silk 25percent. But in the case of polyester the
production was high in 1998 – 99 with 25percent the increase or decrease of a particular
variety of cloth is influence by
i. Availability of particular type of Yarn
ii. Orders issues by the society for production of particular cloth,
iii. Open market demand, and
iv. Seasonal demand of particular variety and so on.

 The table describes the value of production of Anna Society. The total value of
production of the society for the study period was Rs341 lakh and the annual study
average being Rs34.1 lakh.

The four types of cloths, the volume of cotton variety covered 48 percent,
followed by Cora cotton cloths with 24percent.

These two cloth items were high in volume naturally that reflects in value also.
The value of variety wise production has shown a fluctuating trend in all the Years.

Again the 2006 – 07 witnessed with high production value with regard to cotton
18percent, Cora Cotton 29percent, and Art silk (19percent).

It is noted here that 17percent volume of production has contributed to 29percent

value, whereas 25percent Art silk has contributed to 19percent value of production.

Again the polyester variety with 25percent in volume has contributed to 21percent
of value. This is because of price variations in the market.

It is clear from the table that the annual average of three categories of cloth found
to be same 33.3 percent each. The total production of the study period was 19.68 lakh
meters and the mean of the study period was 1.96 lakh meters. The high production of
each category was found increased in the end of the three Years of the study period. For
example polyester with 22 percent in 2004 – 05, Art silk with 22 percent in 2005 – 06 and
Cora cotton with 16 percent in 2006 – 07. The low production of the three categories was
increased in the first part of the study period.

As it is seen from the table the total value of production for the study period was
911.14 lakh and the average being 91.1 lakh. Though the volume of production of three
categories of cloth found to be the same (See earlier table) but the value shown
differently. For example 33.3 percent of Cora cotton contributed to 38 percent of the
value facilitating a 5percent increase; where as the 33 percent of polyester in quantity has
contributes to 30percent percent value of the production, resulting a 3percent decrease.
The performance of Gandhiji Society incase of value found appreciation especially in the
fourth years of study period.

Suggestions

Based on the findings of the study, few suggestions are made for effective
production of the societies:

1. To strengthen the production performance more effectively, the study units need
to develop infrastructure facilities such as dyeing, bleaching, printing, installation
system. This would definitely enhance production function and performance.
2. Generally, the primary cooperative weaver’s societies have no mechanism to
trace the tastes, preferences and desires of consumers market. Therefore the
societies must understand attitude of the consumers, and must pay more attention
on new products, design and development, quality production etc.,
3. Handloom cooperatives must think of next phase of cloths and its features. One
such is Natural dying clothes, it has greater demand in some states, and such
varieties were found more useful in consumer’s point of view. Handloom
Cooperatives can think of making such cloth items to attract consumers.
4. There must be effective coordination among handloom cooperatives especially in
the areas of technology, methods of training, enhancing ambience and outlook
etc.,

Conclusion

The Gandhiji society has better performance in their production function both in
terms of volume and value. The low production performance was witnessed with Anna
society in terms of volume; and Kamala Nehru society in terms of value.
In terms of variety wise production performance, it is the Gandhiji society has
excelled both in volume and value in all the three categories and Anna society found to be
weak in both volume and value in all the three categories.
