CORPORATE OBJECTIVES AND COMPANY IN GENRAL

3.1 Corporate Social Responsibilities

interloop has evolved at a pace faster than what anyone might have imagined a

decade ago and has shown continuous commitment to behave ethically; and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of our workforce, their families and the local community at large.

At Interloop we believe that profitability and growth, combined with development of our employees and communities and protection of the environment endorse the long-term interests of a business.

THE CITIZENS FOUNDATION SCHOOLS (INTERLOOP

CAMPUSES): Interloop Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The Citizens Foundation (TCF) to

construct four Secondary Schools (two for Boys and two for Girls) and six to eight Primary Schools in five years, and even more in future as well out of own funds including the

cost of building, furniture, utilities and vehicles. Each built-a-school project will also be taken up with provision of schools support for three years.

Interloop believes in playing an active role in social development by providing health, education and sports facilities to the less privileged class of the Country.

The aim of construction of these schools is to promote quality and formal education for less privileged children in an environment that encourages intellectual, moral

and spiritual growth. The preference for construction of schools will be given to the rural areas and urban slums of District Faisalabad, characterized by extreme poverty where people neither have the means nor access to quality education.

The Citizens Foundation (TCF) is engaged in various public welfare projects especially in the field of provision of quality education, establishment and

management of non-profit educational institutions. TCF is a professionally managed, a non-profit organization and one of the Pakistan’s leading organization in the field of formal education. TCF has established over 660 school units

nationwide with an enrolment of 92,000 students including 46 school units in Faisalabad, Jhang and Chinoit where 10,000 students are studying.

Interloop Limited will Insha Allah spend an amount of 170 Million Rupees for this purpose in five years. This has also been made part of Interloop Corporate



Introduction

Objectives. Interloop Limited has constructed four Secondary Schools in March 2010, two TCF

Secondary Schools (Interloop – Begum Sarwari Sadiq Campus) in Village 242 / RB Dasuha and two TCF Secondary Schools (Interloop – Dobotex Campus) in Village 229 / RB Makuana i.e. separate Campuses for Boys and Girls. Classes have been

started in all these schools w.e.f 15th April 2010. Eight TCF Primary Schools (Interloop Campuses) will be constructed in next four years (two schools every year). Land for four schools has been purchased.

Construction of two Primary Schools will be completed by end of March 2011 and classes will start in April 2011. Total cost of Primary Schools will be approximately

113 Million Rupees including 3.97 Million Rupees as three years school support expenses per school.

ASSISSTANCE FOR IDP’s OF SWAT / GOJRA:

The mass exodus of population from and surrounding areas of Swat was a human tragedy of great dimension. Every citizen played its part contributing to well being of IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons). Interloop Limited was second to none in contributing its Corporate Responsibility. Interloop immediately dispatched food items and distributed amongst IDPs of District Nowshera, as the people of these areas deserved full support and needed to be treated with sympathy, love and kindness. Moreover, arrangements for provisions of meal for IDPs of Gojra were made through Government Administration Gojra during and after the disturbance period. Optimism and hope were the galvanizing spirit to accomplish the Corporate Responsibility by Interloop Limited.



Introduction

Earthquake Tent Village

Interloop is proud to be a part of the biggest ever humanitarian aids for the largest natural disaster that ever struck Pakistan in October 2005, killing over 80,000 people and rendering millions homeless. Interloop was quick to show solidarity to its countrymen struck by this great catastrophe and immediately chalked out a plan to set up a “Tent Village” in Muzzaffarabad to ease the suffering of the victims. Chattar Kalas Kohala, Muzzaffarabad was selected as the appropriate site because of its proximity to water supply, easy road access and availability of electricity. Interloop has been fortunate in this noble cause, as many local and international organisations stepped forward to help Interloop establish this facility which was designed to accommodate 1500 people. Caritis, a French Organization collaborated with Interloop to install a state-of-the-art clean water supply system. This facility also included pore flush toilets, showers and laundry slabs which were constructed with the help of OXFAM. Food was provided with the help of WFP. UNHCR donated bedding and health related arrangements were made in collaboration with WHO and UNICEF. Interloop was also running a school with the help of UNICEF. Keeping in view its overall plan and facilities, it was declared a "Model Tent Village" by UNHCR.



Introduction

SOS Children's Village:

Our Company's Social Investment Programme aims to support activities in the areas of education, health, community development and environment, dedicated to the welfare of underprivileged members of our society. As part of this programme, Interloop has been supporting the SOS Children's Village in Faisalabad for the past 7 years by building a cottage at the SOS Village that provides complete housing facility to approximately 10 children.

Finance department overview

PART –II FINANCE DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

Message From director Finance: The director finance gives a comprehensive message to al the interloop Limited family interloop in house Interloop Limited Newsletter “In the Loop” “I want to convey my thanks to the „in the loop “team for providing me with an ideal opporuity to address our present concerns. It is through our in-house magazine that we regularly share the company‟s progress with its stakeholders. The world has undergone a great recession since 2008. As a result of which businesses have faced multiple issues and although the economies of various countries are slowly improving, a full recovery is yet to occur. Similarly the industrial sector of our country, particularly the textile industry, has faced a series of dire challenges. In addition to world – wide economic crunch. Problems such as power shortages, insecurity, inflation and other socio-economic issues have plagued Pakistan over the past few years. In additions to all these factors the sudden increase in cotton/yarn prices s during the years 2009 and 2010 was no less than a disaster for the value-added textile industry. It was b=next to impossible for the exporters cute the previously committed orders. However by the Grace of Almighty Allah and with proper planning courtesy of the interloop team .besides achieving record sales we have shown outstanding results as regards the financial index. I can‟t precede a future with out acknowledging the contribution of our spinning division. Keeping in view the increased demand for our products, our Board of directors has approved an Expansion plan for our hosiery business. The cost will amount to PKR 1400 million and this unit will be completed by the end of the first quarter of the year 2011. In addition, our other projects are also in the pipeline. A factory and land for Interloop Bangla Limited have been procured in the Bangladesh. Hopefully this unit will commence operations by the end of the first quarter of




2011. As far as our business diversifation efforts are concerned, we have incorporated a nascent company, Interloop Dairies Limited .In Pakistan for which the land selection is in its final stages. This unit will have reached completion by 2011. Interloop, always realized its corporate social responsibility and has generously contributed each year for the social welfare. As part of its latest efforts, interloop singed an MOU with “The Citizens Foundation “for the establishment of primary/ high school for providing quality education to poor people. Two secondary schools have been established and three pieces of land have been purchased at different locations for building more schools. We also provide complete capital expenditure and running expenses for these schools. As everybody knows this year our nation was hit by the worst floods in its entire history. Millions of houses got destroyed in the process. Around fifteen million victims were left dispossessed. Our government .with its limited resources. Is making every possible effort to help .it is high time that every citizen should realized his .her responsibility and contribution towards rehabilitation of affected people .towards this end , Interloop Limited has set up a Flood Relief Fund. Under this fund, food and other necessities of life are being provided to the affected people in various areas. Our prayers are with those affected by this catastrophe. We will leave no stone unturned in helping them get back on their feet again.

Suggestions Interloop is a vertical unit, who believe in continuous improvement, the following are some main suggestion to finance department.

Administratively, the building of finance department should be separate and valued suited, so the working of employees becomes easy.

The strength of the employees is low as compare to the working and job responsibilities, that way the most of the time, officers not available for each other which Is good for the health of the employees, the strength should be increase

The sub division of department is no doubt good, but there still need to formulate The company is moving toward the 5S- techniques, but finance department is to slow to

manage and implement the 5s- techniques. My suggestion is to increase the strength or delegate and make responsibility of every officer to update and mange its working place as per 5S- techniques.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Barclays_logo.svg




Technically the division of work is good but the person handing to these has no training to reduce the job related stress.

Ergonomics is one key to keep the worker health good, but there is environment which is not comfortable so the my opinion is to introduce the techniques of Ergonomics

The business world is fast moving and improving world so the department has a cell how inform the upcoming techniques and procedure to enhancement.

There is no display of foreign exchange and connectivity with the Stock Exchange. Which is a key, to finance improvement of every business my opinion is to make the department arrangement and then have display showing index number and other detail of the foreign Exchange and stock Exchange.

The combination of department is two and profession, so my opinion is to introduce communication skill improvement techniques and training.

Record keeping is not suitable and fit for audit concern and the audit team always faces difficulty while collecting the data to be audited.

The software is in good and competitive but the hardware is not up-to-date, my opinion to introduce the LCD listed of monitor.

What's Happening? Interloop is not only the largest Socks Manufacturer in South Asia, it is also the one which delivers the highest quality. We are in continuous pursuit of excellence. In order to retain and consolidate our position as an important global player, we are enhancing our capacities, investing to improve our efficiency and adding backward integration.

Analysis of Accounting Ratio

Ratio analysis: It is used to analysis to plan, to control, and to identify weakness within the

firm. Creditors use the analysis to establish the ability of the borrower to pay

interest and retire debt.

Ratios may be computed and interpreted from two perspective

1. Time-series analysis

TIME-SERIES ANALYSIS:

Time –series is an analysis of the firm over a period of time.

CROSS-SECTIONAL ANALYSIS:

An analysis of several firms in the same industry at a point in time.

We are going to use time series analysis of a firm using different ratios.

1. ANALYSIS OF SHORT-TERM FINANCIAL POSTION OR TEST OF

LIQUIDITY

LIQUIDITY RATIO A comparison of current assets with current liabilities gives an indication of the short-term debt-paying ability of the entity. Several comparisons can be made to determine this ability; 1.1. Working capital:

The working capital of businesses is an indication of the short-run solvency of the business. Working capital = current assets – current liabilities

Working Capital 2647710069 146189522 43181976 46824028

Interpretation

The inventory as reported may be much less than its replacement cost, the difference between the reported inventory amount and the replacement amount is normally material. The current working capital amounts are always compared with past amount to determine if working capital is reasonable.




Comments

Working capital increased which shows that there is an increase in

current assets, which is good indication.

1.2 Current Ratio

Another indicator, the current ratio, determine short-term debts –paying

ability,

Current Ratio = current Assets

Current Ratio 1.045 1.029 1.009 0.102

Interpretation

A comparison with industry average should be made to determine the

typical current ration for similar firm’s .in some industries, a current ratio

substantially below 2.00 is adequate .in general, the shorter the operating

cycle, the lower the current ratio wise versa.

Comments

Higher the ratio greater the ability to pay current liabilities which shows

good liquidity position.

1.3 Liquidity, Acid-Test / Quick Ratio:

The current ratio evaluates an enterprise’s overall liquidity position

considering current assets and current liabilities .At times ,it is describe to

access a more immediate position than that indicated by the current

ratio, the acid –test ( or Quick ) ratio relates the most liquid assts to

current liabilities .




Acid-Test Ratio = current Assets – Inventory (QUICK ASSETS)

Interpretation

As it eliminate inventory and prepaid expenses for matching against current

liabilities there fore it is a more rigorous test of liquidity as compared to

current ratio. When used along with current ratio it gives a clearer picture of

business’s liquidity postions.The ability to meet liabilities is influence by such

factors as

1. Rate at which cash flows into the firm.

2. Time at which bills become due.




3. Relationship between the company and its creditors.

4. Firm’s ability to raise capital.

Comments

Rule of thumb for acid test ratio is 1:1 i.e. if the business liquid assets are

100 percent of its current liabilities it is considered to be having fairly good

current financial position.

1.4 Absolute liquid ratio:

Absolute liquid ratio extends the logic further and eliminates accounts

receivables (sundry debtors as bills receivables) also. though receivable are

more liquid as compare to inventory but still there may be doubts

considering there time and amount of realizations therefore ,absolute

liquidity ratio relate s cash ,bank and marketable securities to the current

liabilities .

Absolute liquid ratio = Absolute liquid assets

Current liabilities

Where absolute liquid assets = cash + Bank + (` marketable securities)

Absolute liquid ratio 0.01 0.04 0.007 0.005

Interpretation

Absolute liquid ratio lays down very strict and exacting standard of liquidity;

therefore, acceptable norm of this ratio is 50 percent. It means absolute

liquid assets worth one half of value the current liabilities are sufficient for

satisfactory liquid positions of a business.

Comments

The absolute ratio in this case is 0.075 which is better as compared to rule of

thumb standards which is 0.50.

Other liquidity consideration: Another ratio that is useful is the sale to working capital ratio; in addition, there may be l8iquidity considering that is not on the face of the statements.




Sale to Working capital (working Capital Turnover ratio): Relating sales to working capital gives an indication o the turnover in working capital per year. Sales to working Capital = Sales /Average working Capital

Interpretation A low working capital turnover ratio tentatively indicates an unprofitable use

of working capital. In other words, sales re not adequate relation to the

available working capital. A high ratio tentatively indicate that the firm is

undercapitalized (overtrading)

Comments

The above ration indicates a good trend o the company.

PROFITABILITY MEASURES /RATIO: Profitability is the ability of the firm to generate earning s. Analysis of profit is

of vital concern to stockholders since they derive revenue in the form is of

dividends. further ,increased profits can causes a rise in market price

,leading to capital gains .profit are also important to creditors because profit

are one source of funds for debt coverage. Management use profit as a

performance measure.

The income statement contains several figures that might be used in

profitability analysis. In general, the primary financial analyses of profit ratios

are include only the types of income arising from the normal operations of

the business.

This excludes the following:

1. Discontinued operations

2. Extraordinary items

3. Cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles

budget gross profit level into their predications of profitability. Gross profit

margin is used in cost control.

Comments

Company gross profit ratio is better instead of 2010 the overall ratio is good

and manageable.

2.2 Net Profit Ratio

A commonly used profit measure is return on sales, other termed profit

margin. If company reports that it earned 6% last year, this usually mean

that its profit was 6% of sales.

Interpretation




This ratio gives a measure of net income Rupees generated by each Rupee

of sales. While it is desirable for this ratio to be high, competitive forces within

an industry ,economic conditions ,use of debt financing ,and operating

characteristic such as high fixed costs will cause the net profit margin to vary

between and whining industries.

Profit is increasing with increase in total revenue, which shows that the

profitability of company is increasing, which is good sign. Share of profit

in total revenue is increasing, showing the favorable trend.

operation. It is a mean of operating efficiency.

Comments

In normal conditions, the operating ratio should be low enough so as to

leave portion of the sale s sufficing to give a fair return to the investors. Lower

the operating ratio, the better is the positions because greater is the

profitability and management efficiency of the concern. The higher the

ratio, the less favorable is the situations, because there will be smaller margin

of profit available for the purchase of payment of dividend and creation of

reserves.

This computation compares the total debt with the total shareholders‟ equity. The debt/equity ratio also helps determine how well creditors are protected in case of insolvency. From the prospect of long-term debt-paying ability, the lower this ratio, the better the company‟ debt positions as in case of the interloop Limited.




3.7 Debt to Tangible Net Worth ratio:

such as goodwill, trademarks, etc. so the ratio should be more authentic; in

2009 company have sum ratio more then 5%.

4.1 Earning per share:

Earnings per share – the amount of income earned on a share of common stock during an accounting period –applies only to common stock and to corporate income statements. Nonpublic companies, because of cost-benefits considerations, do not have to report earning per share. Fortunately, we do not need to compute erasing per share. The Company is required to present it at the bottom of the income statement.

5.1 Inventory/stock turnover ratio:

The Inventory turnover is a measure of the number of times inventory is

sold or used in a time period such as a year. The equation for inventory

turnover equals the cost of goods sold divided by the average inventory.

Inventory turnover is also known as inventory turns, stock turn, stock turns,

Comments

A low turnover rate may point to overstocking obsolescence, or deficiencies in the

product line or marketing effort. However, in some instances a low rate may be appropriate,

such as where higher inventory levels occur in anticipation of rapidly rising prices or

shortages. A high turnover rate may indicate inadequate inventory levels, which may lead to

a loss in business.

5.2 Debtors / Receivables turnover ratio:

Receivables / Debtors turnover ratio is one of the key turnover ratios used

to analyze the performance of a business. This ratio throws light on

effectiveness of the business in utilizing its working capital blocked in

debtors. It also indicates the frequency of conversion of receivables into

cash in a given financial year. So, fundamentally, it comments on the

liquidity of the receivables of the business.

Formula for Debtor / Receivable Turnover Ratio:

Receivable Turnover Ratio = Annual credit (net) sales

Receivables turnover ratio has another variant i.e. Average Collection Period which gives a

time period in which debtors are converted into cash. Both the ratios indicate same thing but

in different terms. The former is expresses no. of times debtors are converted into cash in a

financial year whereas the latter gives no. of days or months in which the debtors are

converted into cash.

Ratio 7.07% 3.17% 5.49% −

Average collection

period

51 days 115 days 66days −

Interpretation:

Receivables turnover ratio is an absolute figure normally between 2 to 6. A receivable

turnover ratio of 2 would give an average collection period of 6 Months (12 Months / 2) and

similarly 6 would give 2 Months (12 Months / 6). Meaning is quite clear. A ratio of 2

suggests that the debtor whom credit is extended today, the money is realized in cash after 2

months. Similarly, in case of 6, the money is realized after long 6 months.

For better trade credit management, it is obviously desirable to realize the money as soon as

possible because the money which is blocked in the debtors has a cost of interest attached to

it whose driver is „Time‟. If time to realize the money from debtors is more, the cost is also

higher and vice versa. Low debtor‟s turnover ratio directly insists on higher working capital

requirements and therefore higher interest cost which decreases profits of the firm.

Comments




What is desirable - A higher or a lower receivable turnover ratio? The general rule of life i.e. „balance‟ is even applicable here. Neither too high, nor too low

of this ratio is advisable. Let‟s see the implications of both the ends.

Very Low Receivable / Debtor’s Turnover Ratio: This is easy to understand. Low receivable

turnover ratio means higher collection period. It gives an impression of wrong choice of

debtors or insufficient efforts to collect the cash.

Very High Receivable / Debtor’s Turnover Ratio: It would seems little contradictory to say

that even very high receivable turnover ratio is not good. Very high ratio hints of the very

tight credit policy of the firm.

5.3 Working capital turnover ratio:

Working capital turnover ratio indicates the velocity of the utilization of net working capital.

This ratio represents the number of times the working capital is turned over in the course of year and is calculated as follows:

Working Capital Turnover Ratio =

Total/2 1396949796 94685749 45003002

Interpretation

The two components of the ratio are cost of sales and the net working capital. If the information about cost of sales is not available the figure of sales may be taken as the numerator. Net working capital is found by deduction from the total of the current assets the total of the current liabilities. Comments The working capital turnover ratio measures the efficiency with which the working capital is being used by a firm. A high ratio indicates efficient utilization of working capital and a low ratio indicates otherwise. But a very high working capital turnover ratio may also mean lack of sufficient working capital which is not a good situation. 5.4 Fixed assets turnover ratio: A financial ratio of net sales to fixed assets. The fixed-asset turnover ratio measures a

company's ability to generate net sales from fixed-asset investments - specifically property,

plant and equipment (PP&E) - net of depreciation. A higher fixed-asset turnover ratio shows

that the company has been more effective in using the investment in fixed assets to generate

revenues.

The fixed-asset turnover ratio is calculated as:

Comments

This ratio is often used as a measure in manufacturing industries, where major purchases are made for PP&E to help increase output. When companies make these large purchases, prudent investors watch this ratio in following years to see how effective the investment in the fixed assets was.

PART 2 ANALYSIS OF MANAGEMENT PATTERNS

SWOT Analysis

SWOT analysis (alternately SLOT analysis) is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses/Limitations, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture.

It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve that objective. The technique is credited to Albert Humphrey, who led a convention at Stanford University in the 1960s and 1970s using data from Fortune 500 companies.

Aim of SWOT Analysis In general

The aim of any SWOT analysis is to identify the key internal and external factors that are important to achieving the objective. These come from within the company's unique value chain. SWOT analysis groups key pieces of information into two main categories:

Internal factors – The strengths and weaknesses internal to the organization. External factors – The opportunities and threats presented by the external environment

to the organization.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_S_Humphrey

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_500




The internal factors may be viewed as strengths or weaknesses depending upon their impact on the organization's objectives. What may represent strengths with respect to one objective may be weaknesses for another objective. The factors may include all of the 4Ps; as well as personnel, finance, manufacturing capabilities, and so on. The external factors may include macroeconomic matters, technological change, legislation, and socio-cultural changes, as well as changes in the marketplace or competitive position. The results are often presented in the form of a matrix.

PEST analysis

PEST analysis stands for "Political, Economic, Social,

and Technological analysis" and describes a

framework of macro-environmental factors used in

the environmental scanning component of strategic

management.

Some analysts added Legal and rearranged the

mnemonic to SLEPT;[1] inserting Environmental factors expanded it to PESTEL or PESTLE, which is




popular in the United Kingdom.[2] The model has recently been further extended to STEEPLE and

STEEPLED, adding Ethics and demographic factors. It is a part of the external analysis when

conducting a strategic analysis or doing market research, and gives an overview of the different macro

environmental factors that the company has to take into consideration.

It is a useful strategic tool for understanding market growth or decline, business position, potential and

direction for operations. The growing importance of environmental or ecological factors in the first

decade of the 21st century have given rise to green business and encouraged widespread use of an

updated version of the PEST framework. STEER analysis systematically considers Socio-cultural,

Technological, Economic, Ecological, and Regulatory factors.

Factor of PEST analysis

A scan of the external macro-environment in which the firm operates can be expressed in terms of the following factors: Political Economic Social Technological The acronym PEST (or sometimes rearranged as "STEP") is used to describe a framework for the analysis of these macro environmental factors. A PEST analysis fits into an overall environmental scan as shown in the following diagram:

P.E.S.T.




Political Factors:

Political factors include government regulations and legal issues and define both formal and informal rules under which the firm must operate. The political arena has a huge influence upon the regulation of businesses, and the spending power of consumers and other businesses, Interloop Limited is not much more affected by the political factors but following are the political factors which are direct or indirectly influence the productivity and efficiency on the firms are as follows;

Employment laws Environmental regulations Trade restrictions and tariffs Political stability Environmental regulations and protection Tax policies International trade regulations restrictions Contract enforcement law Consumer protection Employment laws




Safety regulations Competition regulation Government organization / attitude

Following measures are to consider also; 1. How stable is the political environment?

2. Will government policy influence laws that regulate or tax your business?

3. What is the government's position on marketing ethics?

4. What is the government's policy on the economy?

5. Does the government have a view on culture and religion?

6. Is the government involved in trading agreements such as EU, NAFTA, ASEAN, or others? The political situation of Pakistan is not satisfactory and unstable. Rapid change in the Govt. and the change of the policies of the previous govt. by the new govt. abruptly effect the Pakistan’s political situation. Due to these entire factors the foreign investor hesitates to invest in Pakistan. Govt. should device such policies that are beneficial for the local exporter as well as for the investors.

Economic Factors:

Economic factors affect the purchasing power of potential customers and the Interloop Limited’s cost of capital. Marketers need to consider the state of a trading economy in the short and long-terms. This is especially true when planning for international marketing. Followings are the key Economic Factors for the firm;




Economic growth Interest rates Exchange rates Inflation rate

The level of inflation Employment level per capita.

.Long-term prospects for the economy Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, and so on.

Economic growth

Interest rates & monetary policies

Government spending Unemployment policy

Taxation

Exchange rates Inflation rates

Stage of the business cycle Consumer confidence

Interest rates

The level of inflation Employment level per capita

Long-term prospects for the economy Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, and so on




The economic condition of Pakistan is not suitable for investment. Market growth rate is very low and

new investors hesitate to invest. Increasing inflation rate due to heavy loan make the business

environment strict. Actually increase in inflation rate leads to high cost of production so our country

products sell out at a high price but with low margin.

Social Factors

Social factors include the demographic and cultural aspects of the external macro environment. These factors affect customer needs and the size of potential markets. The social and cultural influences on business vary from country to country. It is very important that such factors are considered. In case of Interloop flowing factors could be consider

– Health consciousness – Population growth rate – Age distribution – Career attitudes – Emphasis on safety – Income distribution Demographics – Population growth rates – Age distribution Labor – Social mobility – Lifestyle changes Work – Career and leisure attitudes – Entrepreneurial spirit Education – Fashion, hypes Health consciousness & welfare, feelings on safety – Living conditions (Changes in) Mobile Technology




Followings measures are to taken;

– .What is the dominant religion?

– What are attitudes to foreign products and services?

– Does language impact upon the diffusion of products onto markets?

– How much time do consumers have for leisure?

– What are the roles of men and women within society?

– How long are the population living? Are the older generations wealthy?

– Does the population have a strong/weak opinion on green issues?

The change in the lifestyle of the people affects the growing demand of the Interloop products. The change in the lifestyle and needs in different demographics also affect the demand of the customers. Due to all these changes Interloop is performing excellent for the excellence of organization as well as

for the customer.

TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS:




Technology is vital for competitive advantage, and is a major driver of globalization. Technological

factors can lower barriers to entry, reduce minimum efficient production levels, and influence

outsourcing decisions. Some technological factors for the interloop Limited include:

R&D activity Automation Technology incentives Rate of technological change (Changes in) Internet hangs

(Changes in)Mobile Technology

Information Technology

Energy use and costs Life cycle and Speed of technological obsolescence

Rate of technology transfer new inventions and development industry focus on technological

effort Government research spending.

Following question are important for the technology measures of Interloop Limited

Does technology allow for products and services to be made more cheaply and to a better standard of quality?

Do the technologies offer consumers and businesses more innovative products and services such as Internet banking, new generation mobile telephones, etc?

How is distribution changed by new technologies e.g. books via the Internet, flight tickets, auctions, etc?




Does technology offer companies a new way to communicate with consumers e.g.

banners, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), etc?

Technological advancement in all the sectors of the country has changed the entire socio-economic environment. Especially textile sector has incorporated technological development and advancement in their organizations. PEST factors play an important role in the value creation opportunities of a strategy. However they are usually beyond the control of the corporation and must normally be considered as either threats or opportunities. Remember macro-economical factors can differ per continent, country or even region, so normally a PEST analysis should be performed per country. Now the PEST analysis is moving and known as PESTEL analysis.



FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS

Part IV summing up


Interloop Limited never compromise on quality, and always provide in time delivery, due to this production is increase day by day, production is not increased in quantity, but also with quality. In Interloop Limited right person is at right place. Every person respect each other senior respect his juniors. There is cooperative environment. No doubt Interloop Limited is employee oriented organization and its values are to share and care its human capital in every perspective. Nothing is perfect in this universe and opportunity of improvement always exists. At last I give some suggestions to Interloop Limited’s staff of different department with the hoping that these suggestions also give major contribution in the development of this organization.

EHS & PI DEPARTMENT

Both the departments are working as should they, but following are some recommendations are 1. EHS department should arrange the seminar inside the organizations to give awareness to the

employees about hoe they can manage there health inside and out side the organization, because the worker spend more time in there home then factory.

2. PI department works on ergonomics, but the work force is not aware of term what does it mean, so the training of the employees is very necessary.

3. EHS department should give SOP’s of all the relevant safety instruction of the job and jobs relater hazardous in all deportments to reduce the safety risks.




4. The condition of the ambulance is very b pity and not fit for the emergency conditions, should be replaced with good soon as possible.

5. ergonomics ,safety and health are alternatives of each other should be first focus of the departments

HR & D

Hr dept is the backbone of any organization. It plays role like strategic business partner and define future human capital dimension in order to meet company strategic objective. 1. I was surprised to see that all work is done in Excel sheet and there is no system which tells us

about how many applications have applied and from which university. 2. We hire candidate who have rich experience in their field, but we offer not attractive designation,

so because many executive are not comfortable with current designation, my idea is to offer proper designation.

3. Staffing staff is busy to search required CV’s manually and there is no proper record. 4. We should appoint right person with relevant education, but in company practice people are hired who have

bit knowledge about this field.

5. When people apply against any vacancy, after CV’s collecting HR-dept sent all these CV’s to concerned dept for short listing, it is not fair, actually that dept add their own CV’s and only those people are short listed for whom concerned dept categorized. In this regard Hr dept should short listed CV’s after screening on defined criteria.

6. There is influence from every dept directly/indirectly about their concerned person either he/she has been short listed or not. We should minimize their influence.

7. After orientation phase, there is no follow up and we should arrange meeting with new joiner to discuss his issues during orientation tenure and take report during defined period.

8. There is no training and development policy, company should develop.




9. All form like OD, Leave application form, shift change and others related form are scattered in time office. My idea is to place all form in racks and mention on rack about these forms, in this way every body will take form easily and time of time keeper will be saved.

10. All executive are busy in there day to day matters and go out door for company official visit. They have short time to check there absent status, in this regard my idea is to add duty of timekeeper to inform every executive about his absentee before the month end on telephone, in this way we will add our services by offering this services.

11. Our HR Management is busy to perform day to day matters involved in every matter at low level by wasting their precious time, in this sense my idea is to delegate authority and check their performance.

ADMIN DEPARTMENT

1. Mess menu is very crispy and there is no Varity in mess menu, my suggestion is to review and add new dishes and add more vegetable with salad.

2. Near executive basin there is no liquid soap only piece of soap is available, this creates negative impression, and my idea is to place liquid soap.

3. On our mess we should add pictures with message say name of Allah before taking meal. 4. In company buss, staff is busy to discuss political matters and disturb others, in this regard we

admin dept should deliver clear instruction not to discuss political matters inside buss. 5. After taking lunch, we throw bone and others dust on table or on floor, my idea is to place

dust bin near each table, in this way table will be clean and everybody would like to place bone inside dust bin.

6. There should be table tennis table, news paper and color TV inside mess premises, in this way employee will feel healthy and will raise cooperation and remove hesitation among top to bottom staff.

7. On upcoming on stairs, my idea is to add ALLAH -HO-Akbar and Subhan ALLAH poster, in this way employee will remember ALLAH and get feelings.




8. When any visitor comes in mill for some official purpose, there is no sign board inside mill which indicate in which dimension he has to move, my idea is to place sign board on which there is no clear indication about mills, offices and others area.

9. When people comes to take test, there is no clear indication about Interloop Limited on road, although we have placed sign board on road, but most of the time there is rush on road and truck are placed on road near sign board,

10. My suggestion is to place separate board with red color which indicate clear dimension. 11. My idea is to place Interloop Limited logo on our new corporate building.

12. There is no similarity between mess menu and services as compared to other division, we should prepare same menu and same dishes by coordinating, and in this way we can save company cost and add value.

13. There is rich culture of tea in mills, we should create awareness session that tea is not healthy for health and arrange doctor session for sugar test and awareness.

14. Worker uniform is nice, but we cannot distinguish who is that person and belong from which dept, my idea is to print dept name on front or back of uniform.

15. Employees wear there employment card on different side on their front side, some have placed on button, collar, etc and create very odd impression, my idea is to introduce ribbon with Interloop Limited logo and name, in this way there will be similarity among employee.

Merchandising

Merchandiser should follow up the order from beginning to end and physically check the order status at every stage.

Merchandiser also checks the work order that it is according to the customer order sheet.




PPC

PPC should be very careful in making work order, because work order is backbone of order status

In case of repeat order customer order sheet should check before making the work order. Toe Closing

Supervisor should carefully check the stitching process, not only depend on aster, in this way quality will be improved.

Processing

Processing department should be very careful in shade, more qualified person should be appointed in processing. If processing department control the shade variation problem quality will be improved and time can be save in packing and pressing department, which is waste due to shade variation. Packing

1. Target

We can get more production if we give the target to packers, in this way production will be increased with quality not only with quantity.

2. Incentive

Incentive should be given to those packers who complete the target at time.

P&S DEPARTMENT

Implementing and managing strategic relationship with key supplier, ensuring performance to schedule of all bought out material and services and achieving cost saving target. Conference & seminars Vacation training & Development E- Learning




Confident communication Profit price and cost Analysis

FINANCE DEPARTMENT

1) Our aim to make Interloop Limited world class organization and doing lot of things to achieve, but office environment specially computer in front of whole team create image like clerk, my suggestion is to introduce LCD at some level in this way we can change existing IT structure.

2) Salary oriented staff in increasing and there performance is not up to mark. 3) Most of our staff is performing clerical duties and there is no innovation and process

improvement. 4) Company should provide training to its staff so that they can meet their job duties more

efficiently and effectively. 5) There is no vision and mission statement, I was astonished, for this purpose we should design

all these things and Job Description of whole mills and update in system. 6) Executive staffing office creates image like government office, where files are scattered and

there is no arrangement of files, documents and there is no attractive thing in office where new comer take positive impression on hi face. For this purpose we should re arrange office internal environment and make cabin for file arrangement.

7) There is no defined Job Description of any body what to do, all job description should be online and add/delete task after some defined period.

8) Finance office presents image like WAPDA house, where file are scattered and there is need to arrange file in proper form.

OD DEPARTMENT

Being a leading department it should play a role to enhance the internal and external environment and aspect to generating the environment. For this purpose OD department should to issue the employees ideas book every year to get new ideas in different departs and jobs, so and motivations of the employees and improvement of the company become possible.
