The textile is the widest field whichcontributes major percentage of economy. At present the textile manufacturinghas shifted to Asian countries and there has been a huge potential in India.


Why textile industries not growing and also whybig groups are not coming up widely in India?


As the common belief for textile industries isthat it is a labor oriented industry & this belief is required to change.


One of the biggest barrier in the growth oftextile industry is the inability to deliver the consistent quality product andthe higher cost to exhaust Europe and US potential market .


The big groups are reluctant to enter thetextile industry as uncertainties prevail because of unorganized manufacturingsystem and long payback.


For any manufacturing systems we need machine,method, material, man & environment.


Machine: For any manufacturing we need machinery whichproduce international standard quality. In spinning and weaving we havedeveloped to a great extend but in dyeing and processing still we are workingwith conventional technology and not ready to take latest technical know-how.For processing we should have proper machine setup and technical know-how whichis suitable in terms of required product manufacturing which benefited in termsof minimum man-power, cost effectiveness & flawless consistent qualitymanufacturing.


Method: Today method is one of the key aspect to thesuccessful running of the operation and which is open and available worldwide, butour technician has set pat theories in mind which does not allow to changetraditional approach and try to adopt new methodologies.


Material : Material is commonly available but wedon't have proper system to analyze the quality standard because for the anymanufacturing the outcome is depended on how perfect and consistent are yourinput and so we need to standardize material inputs and required to adoptmodern lean manufacturing system like Kanban system.


Man : The common belief that man are bound to makemistake and textile is a lab our oriented industry and we are more depend onlabour to get the good consistent quality and cost effective manufacturingwhich is not possible. So we need to change our manufacturing more towardssystems orientation, atomization and adopt modern manufacturing culture.


Environment: The prevailing work environment andculture is still old working with illiterates and uncultured work force. Due tothat new generation and new culture cannot adjust. So we need to build suchculture which allow and attract literate and educated new generation to ourindustry & the growth of textile industry is not possible without that.


Textile is Basic industry and Synthetic is mostcomfortable to all atmosphere and cost effective so there is world wide bigpotential. Looking world scenario Europe, U,S. even Japan countries can notafford to run this industries and now recently


China also cost increased sothere is big opportunity for India. But my worry is that in India we are still working with 40 years old technology, methods, machines and illiterateworkers and staff. So by this way we can not supply good and consistent qualityand big orders in time and one day we may loose this opportunity We have tobring change in our culture.
