1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Raymond Group was incorporated in 1925 and within a span of few years,
transformed from being an Indian textile major to a global conglomerate. The Raymond
Limited was established in September 1925 to acquire the Woolen Mills in Thane known
as WADIA WOOLEN MILLS; it was managed by E. D. Sassoon & Co. Until November
1944 when the entire share holding was acquired by JAGGILAL
KAMALPATSINGHANIA of Kanpur, subsequently J. K. Trust Bombay, acted as
managing agents. There after the name was changed to Raymond Woolen Mills Limited.
In late 1994, the ―Raymond Woolen Mills‖ was changed to ―Raymond Limited‖.
Traditional product lines were discounting. High quality becomes a numbers of
watchwords and the diversification program got head start. Non traditional blends of
natural and manmade fabrics were introduced back by sound research & Development.
This resulted in greater consumer satisfaction both at home and abroad. The idea of J& K
was to develop an organization with a diversified product line. Over the year the
organization grew in structure and nature. To facilitate better involvement of the top
management in the organization effort, the J. K. Organization was divided into three
zones i.e., Western, Central and Eastern. The Raymond Limited in Chhindwara is a part
of Western zone. Raymond Limited has five divisions comprising of Textiles, Denim,
Engineering Files & Tools, Aviation and Designer Wear.
Raymond Textile is India's leading producer of worsted suiting fabric with over
60% market share. With a capacity of 25 million meters of wool & wool-blended fabrics,
Raymond Textiles is the world‘s third largest integrated manufacturer. The company
exports it‘s suiting to more than 50 countries including USA, Canada, Europe, Japan and
the Middle East. Over the years, Raymond Textile has developed strong in-house skills
for research & development, which has resulted in path-breaking new products.
Perceived as pioneer and innovator, Raymond Textile has been responsible for raising the
standard of the Indian textiles industry.

Garment companies have been successful in the Indian market using different
approaches and distribution methods. Raymond, with its history of more than 75 years,
relies on its long-standing reputation; loyal customer base and well-established, extensive
retails network in over 400 towns through 30,000 retailers and over 270 exclusive
Raymond Shops.
In fact, Raymond initiated the entire business of developing the menswear apparel
business. It started the development work through the introduction of its first brand, Park
Avenue. The readymade garments division has since then growth rapidly. It has created
many a pioneering trend such as ready to wear suits. Raymond has now become the
leader among ready-mades, in India, achieving a business turnover of over Rs. 200 crores
with its three brands-Park Avenue formal wear, Parx casual wear and Manzoni, a
premium range of shirts, suits and ties.
Raymond as a group enjoys a huge advantage over the competition – that of
vertical integration – right from manufacturing, to ready-to-wear to distribution. The
main components of a successful integrated ready-made garments manufacturer are
Fabric design, Garment design, State-of-the-art, Manufacturing systems, integrated
logistics.
To participate on a global platform, one cannot do without any one of these
components. Logistics has to do with supply chain have to do with supply chain
management. It starts from the procurement of the basic raw material till the finished
product reaches the end consumer. In the ready-to-wear segment, the maintenance of the
logistical chain is challenging due to the various fits, collections and seasonality and also
the challenges in terms of color and design, as requirements of both design and fabric
change with season. At Raymond, the entire supply chain management is managed
through a state-of-the-art software system, developed and tailored to meet its specific
needs.
With a capacity of 25 million meters of wool & wool blended fabrics, Raymond

2.0 ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
Organization structure is defined as "The logical arrangement of task and the
network of relationships and roles among the various positions established to
carry out the activities necessary to achieve the predetermined objectives of
business". Internal Organization structure constitutes the arteries and veins
through which the blood of work flows in the body of Organization.

9. RAYMOND
LIMITED
Page 9

The term organization can be studied as a structure and also as a
process. In a static sense, organization is a structure. A group of people
functions within this structure and try to accomplish certain objectives.
Organization is a structure for the conduct of business activities efficiently.
Organization structure refers to the network of relationships among
individuals and positions in an Organization.


In this Organization, the authority moves directly from the top level to
the lowest level in a step-by-step manner. It is straight and vertical. The top-
level management takes all major decisions and issues directions for actual
execution. The general manager, for example, issues order to various
departmental managers. Thereafter, the departmental manager issues
instructions to works manager. The works manager will issue instructions to
foreman. In this manner, the orders and instructions will be issued to the
workers working at the lowest level. Thus authority moves downward and

10. RAYMOND
LIMITED
Page 10

also step-by-step. The responsibility, on the other hand, moves in the upward
direction.


3.0 PRODUCTION PROCESS
3.1 RAW MATERIALS
♦ Wool:
The Merino brand of wool is imported from Australia, and supplied as Tops
by the wool Scouring and Grey Combing department.
♦ Polyester:
A man made synthetic fiber which is in the form of staple fiber or tow. There
are three varieties – Normal, Sparkle and Low pill.
♦ Viscose:
A regenerated cellulose fiber which is made from wood pulp. Generally it is
dope dyed by suppliers and is in fibrous form.
The production operations at our plant are coordinated by the
PRODUCTIONPLANNING & CONTROL department. Its role is to gather
information of all stock at various stages and communicate with the different
departments; so that production activities are synchronized. We have six
months order in advance and divide the production activities bi-annually in
unison with the Market and our JALGAON and THANE units. First in the
sequence is the RAW MATERIAL GODOWN where the basic inputs
procured are stored, accounted for and intimated to the COMMERCIAL
department. The first stage of processing is DYEING. According to a dyeing
plan set by the production planners, the dyeing department is issued tops.
Fabrics and yarn produced at further stages which are grey or do not have the
desired pigmentation are also dyed. Some polyester is procured in the form of
tows. These are cut and converted into sliver form and converted into tops in
the CONVERTER section. The material is sent back to the raw material go
down from where it is sent to the dyeing department. Only after a perfect

11. RAYMOND
LIMITED
Page 11

match with standards Hades are the tops sent to the RECOMBING
department. In the Recombine department tops of polyester and wool in sliver
form are blended and mixed to produce a uniform sliver (65% polyester &
35% wool). The processing ensures that fiber is untangled. Straightened and
parallel. All there Tops (polyester and wool) are sent for spinning in the
WORSTED SPINNING department. The function of spinning is to form yarn
fiber. The yarn made is wound on a bobbin and is called cheese.*Tops – roll
of sliver *Tow – roll of continuous film or filament of fiber *Sliver – fiber in
a rope like form. Simultaneously polyester and viscose fiber is dispatched
from the dyeing department and raw materials go down (grey i.e. UN dyed) to
the blow room or P/V SPINNING department where it is mixed in proportion
(67% polyester and 33% viscose). This mix is transformed into sliver in the
carding section which further processes and produces a poly-viscose yarn.

6.0 Observation and Recommendation about the current
Performance Management System Process going at
Raymond

16. RAYMOND
LIMITED
Page 16

Employees do not understand the actual meaning of Key Result Areas (KRA) and
the correct way to write those Key Result Areas. In this scenario it becomes
important for people managers and the Human Resource team to make the
employees understand the Key Result Areas. One of the initiatives already taken
by the Human Resource Department is to conduct KRA Workshops for each
business unit. In the workshop people a detailed explanation of KRA is given and
instructions were laid out about the mathematical approach to write KRA, which
is according to SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time

bound). But there was lot of confusion about on what guiding principles the KRA
was to be written.
To overcome this type of confusion the organization should go for Balance Score
card approach based on which every employee should write their KRA. The
detailed explanation of the approach is given at a latter part in this report.
The KRA written are primarily divided into three components such as ―Business
Deliverables, Strategic Initiative and People Processes‖. The weight ages assigned
to these depend on the designation of the person. GM level and above which
includes Director, Vice Presidents and President have the same distribution of
weight ages i.e. 50% Business Deliverables, 30% Strategic Initiatives and 20%
People Processes. This division works well for the GM level. But Strategic
Initiative should have a higher weight age for the Director, Vice President and
President Level.
The time slot given for writing KRA is almost 45 days and more, which covers
half of the first quarter. This can be reduced to a month so that enough time could
be given for the performance review process to be carried on.
Mid-year review is done to assess the achievement for the six months and to plan
for the next six months. If the same review process is done quarterly, then the
process would become more robust.
The rating grid adopted here is confusing and complicated. Though the rating
system given handles the biasing error but it can be made more simplified.

17. RAYMOND
LIMITED
Page 17

The online interface of filling up KRA can be made more users friendly.
Moreover the KRA can be made transparent i.e. every employee can look into
each other KRA. This would help in building trust among employees and one
employee can what are the responsibilities of other employee.



7.0 Corporate social responsibility (CSR) statement
The voluntary compliance of social and ecological responsibility of companies is
called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Corporate social responsibility is basically a concept whereby companies decide
voluntarily to contribute to a better society and a cleaner environment. Corporate social
responsibility is represented by the contributions undertaken by companies to society
through its business activities and its social investment. This is also to connect the
Concept of sustainable development to the company‘s level.
Over the last years an increasing number of companies worldwide started
promoting their Corporate Social Responsibility strategies because the customers, the
public and the investors expect them to act sustainable as well as responsible. In most
cases CSR is a result of a variety of social, environmental and economic pressures.
The Term Corporate Social Responsibility is imprecise and its application differs.
CSR can not only refer to the compliance of human right standards, labor and social
security arrangements, but also to the fight against climate change, sustainable
management of natural resources and consumer protection.
The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility was first mentioned 1953 in the
publication ‗Social Responsibilities of the Businessman‘ by William J. Bowen. However,
the term CSR became only popular in the 1990s, when the German Betapharm, a generic
pharmaceutical company decided to implement CSR. The generic market is characterized
by an interchangeability of products. In 1997 a halt in sales growth led the company to
the realization that in the generic drugs market companies could not differentiate on price

18. RAYMOND
LIMITED
Page 18

or quality. This was the prelude for the company to adopt CSR as an expression of the
company‘s values and as a part of its corporate strategies. By using strategic and social
commitment for families with chronically ill children, Betapharm took a strategic
advantage.
In July 2001, the European Commission decided to launch a consultative paper on
Corporate Social Responsibility with the title „Promoting a European Framework for
Corporate Social Responsibility―. This paper aimed to launch a debate on how the
European Union could promote Corporate Social Responsibility at both the European and
international level.

The paper further aimed to promote CSR practices, to ensure the credibility of
CSR claims as well as to provide coherence in public policy on CSR.
