Production Planning Section
To control all production priorities and to load machine on day-to-day basis, a full
fledge production planning cell is in operation. This production planning system is
designed to be fine tuned with the clients needs and thereby ensures responsive
handling of all accounts by fore-casting demands from each client in terms of greige

Coupled with forecast from their buyers, it makes their system work efficiently.
Advantages of this system include shorter lead times, on time deliveries and less
.quality hassles
It is an intermediate party between marketing department and processing department.
It issues daily production program to each processing unit. Daily production reports
are received in this department. New product development letter is also received in
this department. Then work is planned accordingly. Nishat group is pioneer for
making production and planning department. Instructions are first given to production
and planning department and then distributed to other processing units. Here various

.order on a paper. This program is sent to the production and planning department
The cloth required is issued against the grey demand letter. First copy is remained in
production and planning department. And second goes to grey stock room. On this
letter grey issued is returned. It is generally more than demanded cloth because some
cloth expected to be damage. For this job number is issued to work. When grey
material is issued, lot number is given than production and planning department issues
.program according to specification of each processing unit
 STITCHING UNITS

Future prospectus of Nishat mills limited are given as under

The past year has been tough for the textile industry as competition is steadily and
margin of profits is becoming smaller day-by-day. Our competitors from Asia have
come up in a big way with lower prices resulting from lower overhead, cheaper and
better raw materials and machinery. Countries like China, Indonesia, India and
Bangladesh played an active role in the fabric market. Improvement in quality and
production capability was the main area of concentration.

Market for Yarns and Grey fabrics was diversified to increase the customer base and
reduce dependency on the Far East. In this effort business with Malaysia, Korea,
Taiwan, UK and South America was initiated in case of Yarns. A new spinning unit
of 21,672 spinning has also commenced, which caters to the weaving units in
Shiekhupura.

Grey Fabric Market

In case of Grey Fabric market business was initiated in South Africa, North America,
Japan, Italy, France, and Sri Lanka etc. Product range was also increased to cater to
the differing needs of the buyers. Fancy and special items like Dobby Designs,
Bedford Cords, and Cavairy Twills and stretch fabrics were developed which are
being sold at premium prices. We have constantly updated our machinery, replacing
old machines with new ones upgrading the existing set-up, leading to better
efficiencies and quality products.
Quality control
Nishat has established its name in new markets be creating specialized fabrics,
designs and also by providing our customers with efficient service and excellent
quality. Leaving behind the traditional way of doing business and in our journey
towards excellent it has consistently expanded its buyer base and explored the
different markets around the world.

Value Addition Strategy

Keeping in view demand of the World market, Nishat Mills Ltd pursued its strategy
of value addition that in command reducing the dependency on Grey Fabrics and
Grey Yarn. Having the foresight to assessing year’s value addition will be the thing of
the future, Nishat Mills Limited worked towards the achievement of its goal of future
increasing its capability in value addition.

The export of processed fabric and made-Ups has shown market improvement as
compared to last year. In Europe, Nishat has made the most growth in the year 1999.
It has placed us successfully in the middle to upper end of the market. Our strength in
Europe is the curtain division.

This included yarn dyed dobbies, engineered confections, different finishes and
embellished products. The plan is to continue with this winning strategy and at the
same time we are trying to find new clients in the high end. We are also exploring
business opportunities in countries like Spain and France where Nishat has very little
business at the moment.

Social Responsibility
Nishat is also taking up the social accountability issues very seriously, which are so
dear to the American consumers. Lot of big brand US companies have visited us and
are discussing the possibilities of a joint venture.

Opportunities
The opportunities are limitless, we have to review and analyze them very thoroughly
to associates with the right people in the long run. In the short term we are building a
small amount of quota, which will give us recognition as a bedding supplier

Position With Regard To Competitors

The latest addition is the most ambitious Apparel Dyeing plant setup near Lahore,
which has started its production. The effectiveness and productivity of this plant will
be further enhanced as Nishat Mills Ltd moves towards becoming a more vertically
integrated organization.

Our dyed fabric has already established its name in the market. It is being exported to
some of the leading brands of the world.
