ORGANISATIONAL STUDY REPORT AT KITEX LTD,KIZHAKKAMBALAM
INTRODUCTION
Organization is a social unit which is deliberately constructed and reconstructed to seek specific goals .An organization comes into existence when there are a number of persons in communication and relationship to each other and are willing to contribute towards a common endeavour. The evolution of organization dates back to the early stages of human civilization when two or more persons began to cooperate and combine together for fulfilling their basic needs of food, clothing,shelter and protection of life .Thus,an organization is born when people combine their efforts for some common purpose.It is a universal truth that an individual is unable to fulfill his needs and desire alone because he lacks strength,ability and resources. So he seeks the cooperation of other people who share goals with him.

CHAPTER-2
INDUSTRY PROFILE
New innovations in clothing production, manufacture and design came during the industrial revolution – these new wheels, looms, and spinning processes changed clothing manufacture forever. There were various stages –from a historical perspective-where the textile industry evolved from being a domestic small-scale industry, to the status of supremacy it currently holds. The ''cottage stageʺ was the first stage in its history where textile were produced on a domestic basis.
Clothing manufactured during the industrial revolution formed a big part of the exports made by Great Britain .they accounted for almost 25% of the total exports made at that time doubling in the period between 1701 and 1770. The center of the cotton industry in Great Britain was Lancashire –and the amount export from 1701 to 1770 had grown ten times .However, wool was the major export item at this point of time. In the industrial revolution era, a lot of effort was made to increase the speed of the production through inventions such as the flying shuttle in 1773, the flyer-and-bobbin system, and the Roller spinning machine by John Wyatt and Lewis Paul in 1738.
During this period cloth was made from materials including Wool, flax and cotton .The material depended on the area where the cloth was being produced, and time they were being made. In the latter half of the medieval period in the northern part of Europe ,cotton come to be regarded as imported fiber .During the later phase of the 16th century cotton was grown in the warmer climes of America and Asia
During the Industrial Revolution, new machines such as spinning wheels and handlooms came into the picture; making clothing material quickly became an organized industry-as compared to the domesticated activity it had been associated with before. A number of new innovations led to the industrialization of the textile industry in Great Britain. In the initial phases, textile mills were located in and around the rivers since they were powered by water wheels. After the stream engine was invented ,the dependence on the rivers ceased to a great extent .In the later phase of the 20 the century ,shuttles that were used in the textile industry were developed and became faster and thus more efficient .This led to the replacement of the older shuttles with the new ones.
Today , modern techniques, electronics and innovations have led to a competitive, low –priced textile industry offering almost any type of cloth or design a person could desire .With its low cost labour base ,china has come to dominate the global textile industry.
GLOBAL SCENARIO
According to statistics, the global textile market possesses a worth of more than $400 billions presently.In a more globalize enviornment,the industry has faced high competition as well as opportunities. It is predicted that global textile production will grow by 25% between 2002 and 2010 and Asian region will largely contribute in this regard .High production of wool,cotton and silk over the world has boosted the industry in recent years.
Japan ,India,Hongkong,and China became leading producers due to their cheap labour supply,which is an important factor for the industry.the World Trade Organization(WTO) has taken so many steps for uplifting this sector.in the year 1995,WTO had renewed its MFA and adopted Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC) ,which states that all quotas on textile and clothing will be removed among WTO member countries.However the level of exports in textiles from developing countries is increasing even if in the presence of high tariffs and quantitative restrictions by economically developed countries. Moreover the role of mulifunctional textiles,eco-textiles and customized textiles are considered as the future of the textile industry.
