ring spindles, 2552 doubling spindles and 1122 looms it was one of the few companies in those days to start
along with spinning and weaving facilities in addition to full-fledged facilities for dyeing, bleaching,
finishing and mercerizing. The sales in the year 1934, three years after establishment were Rs 45.76 lakh
and profits were Rs 2.82 lakh.
In the mid 1980s the textile industry faced another major crisis. With the power loom churning out vast
quantities of inexpensive fabric, many large composite mills lost their markets, and were on the verge of
closure. Yet that period saw Arvind at its highest level of profitability. At this point of time Arvinds
management coined a new word for it new strategy Renovision. It simply meant a new way of looking at
issues, of seeing more than the obvious and that became the corporate philosophy.
The national focus paved way for international focus and Arvinds markets shifted from domestic to global,
a market that expected and accepted only quality goods. Cottons were the largest growing segments. But
where conventional wisdom pointed to popular priced segments, Renovision pointed to high quality
premium niches. Thus in 1987-88 Arvind entered the export market for two sections -Denim for leisure &
fashion wear and high quality fabric for cotton shirting and trousers. By 1991 Arvind reached 1600 million
meters of Denim per year and it was the third largest producer of Denim in the world.
In 1997 Arvind set up a state-of-the-art shirting, gabardine and knits facility, the largest of its kind in India,
at Santej. With Arvinds concern for environment a most modern effluent treatment facility with zero
effluent discharge capability was also established.
Year 2005 was a watershed year for textiles. With the muliti-fiber agreement getting phased out and the
disbanding of quotas, international textile trade was poised for a quantum leap. In the domestic market too,
the rationalizing of the cenvat chain and the growth of the organized retail industry was likely to make
textiles and apparel see an explosive growth.
Arvind has carved out an aggressive strategy to verticalize its current operations by setting up world-scale
garmenting facilities and offering a one-stop shop service, by offering garment packages to its international
and domestic customers.
Of Lee, Wrangler, Arrow and Tommy Hilfiger and its own domestic brands of Flying Machine, Newport,
Excalibur and Ruf & Tuf, is setting its vision of becoming the largest apparel brands company in India.

Under Head operation there 15department who are working and in that all the
managers like Human resources, finance, marketing, sales, ER (employee
relation).
ER is also called as an IR in Arvind mills and they operate all the workers who
are on the bottom level of hierarchy and they operate all the things of that
employee from pay sleeps to their benefits.
This all department have to report to head operation but in Arvind mill its not

In all companies this type of operation is not available but in Arvind mill they gave
this type of facilities and they called it doted level or doted relations.
Than after under this fifteen department there is other three departments like
supervisor, junior manager, DDSP.
And they all have to report to the head of different departments.
11
Than under this there is bottom level of the employees like workers of the
different department.
And all the issue related to the production or any issue in department they have
to discuss it with the supervisor.
And the same is discuss it with higher level for any issue and problems and try to
solve it easily.
In the organization as they said there is no too much supervisor because there is
the manager post at different level like senior and junior manager.
The first step in the manufacturing of all kinds of fabric i.e. spinning of bales of raw
cotton into yarns of various kinds suited for producing varieties of fabric. The open end
technology of spinning requires cotton to be processed in mainly 4 broad stages as
enumerated below:
Blowing: In this stage physical, in situ and ex situ impurities are gotten rid of raw
cotton.
Carding: Cotton, thus purified, is put into cylinders in sliver form
Drawing: Parallelization of fiber takes place
Roter spinning: The main process of drawing cotton fiber into yarn is carried out.
2. Weaving
The weaving department has the distinction of being the largest at Arvind Mills and
exports close to 95% of its manufactured fabric. Discussing the denim fabric, the core
competence of AM, original denim is composed of 100% cotton but with a view to bring in
variations to the material in consonance with the emerging trends in the market, various
natural fibers like linen and synthetic fibers like filament, lycra, polyester are added to
cotton. While weaving such mixed fabric, the core is made of the addend and original
cotton is wound around it. Yarn woven vertically is called warp while that woven laterally
is termed as weft. For weaving purposes a cotton count ranging from 5 to 20 is generally
used.
3. Dyeing
Arvind Mills has a grill section that was loaded with 12 beams of yarn, though latest
machinery could support even 16 of them. They are also known as warping beams and their design
depends upon the texture and construction of fabric e.g. weight, length etc. Each beam consist of
350-400 ends and 12 such beams are joined together to form one at last with 4000-4800 ends which
is used in the weaving process.
Four types of dyeing processes are used in Arvind mills namely:
Indigo dyeing
SBIT-sulphur bottoming indigo topping
IBST-indigo bottoming sulphur topping

Sulphur dyeing.
4. Finishing
The process is as follows : Singeing is done and the hairiness of the fabric is burned by flames.
Desizing removes the sizer put on by the suker muller in the dyeing department to
increase the strength of the fabric (a mixture of desizing agent, alcozyme and acetic
acid is used for the same).
Mercerizing is the process of caustic wash and the unit studies is GPL (gram per liter).
Stunter is used to settle the width shrinkage and to adjust the elasticity by killing the
elastic properties of lycra in the fabric which is to the tune of 30 to 40% earlier and
can be dropped down to 3 to 8% as per customer requirement.
5. Quality Assurance
In the modern day quality assurance has a wider scope and it includes activities like
process ownership and calliberation where in the department ownership is given to a
person and it becomes his/her duty to deal with it in the most efficient manner.
