QUALITY COMMITMENT RELIABILITY

“Business with global view” has always been motto. Nearly two decades back, when pioneered this business, had several things in mind:

1. Bangladesh is the most populated country in the world, which requires employment of so many hands after offering proper and adequate training. And garments manufacturing is such a labour intensive sector where can create more and more employment scope for my countrymen.

02. A developing country, as we are, has very few ways of earning foreign exchange. But exporting garments can open the avenues of earning the same. So put relentless effort of expand the business.

03. Business activities are run in a society. So all my thinking and views are sketched considering the welfare of all the related and interest groups in the society as well as the people working in the factories. Thus the social responsibility of a business is performed. A balanced and harmonic progress of the total society then can bring and ensue happiness of human being.

04. For these, in this era of globalization, always plan and march strategically, proactively to ensure greater benefit of business mates— buyers meeting quality, commitment & reliability besides all others.

With the positive response of so many buyers Well-Tex and its associate concerns Well-Sweaters, Sababa Apparels, Adib Dyeing Mills Ltd and newly The Welltex Ltd. are expanding day by day. Services and your response take us & my countrymen to the doorstep of the cherished prosperity.

2.02. Company Organ gram.

2.03. What is Corporate Policy Strategy?

The Council provides a wide range of specific services (Education, Planning, Social Work, Cleansing etc) but there are also a number of issues which require a corporate approach. These include such regular matters as Equalities, Best Value, Public Performance Reporting, the Citizen Panel and strategic issues like Asylum Seekers and Refugees.

Generally speaking the Chief Executive, as principal policy advisor to the Council, has responsibility for providing a corporate policy and strategic lead to the Council. Sometimes individual services are requested to take the lead on relevant issues. The Council’s Social Work Service is building a partnership with the local health board in response to the Government’s Joint Futures initiative for example.

The Corporate Policy Unit within the Chief Executive’s Department has the lead responsibility for several key policy areas; develops relevant strategies to handle significant policy issues and supports both senior elected members and the Council’s Corporate Management Team.

2.04. Visions Mission and Objectives. Vision

Quality is always the combination of the highest intent, sincerest effort with an accurate execution, and delivering high-valued-added products and quality services, all tailored to the specific needs of every one of our individual customers.

Mission

The Mission Statement is a crucial element in the strategic planning of a business organization. Creating a mission is one of the first actions an organization should take. This can be a building block for an overall strategy and development of more specific functional strategies. By defining a mission an organization is making a statement of organizational purpose.

“A good mission statement captures an organization’s unique and enduring reason for being, and energizes stakeholders to pursue common goals. It also enables a focused allocation of organizational resources because it compels a firm to address some tough questions: What is our business? Why do we exist? What are we trying to accomplish?”

Objectives:

• Source quality
• Make quality
• Delivery quality

2.05. CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Procedure.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR), also known as corporate responsibility, corporate citizenship, responsible business, sustainable responsible business (SRB), or corporate social performance, is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. Ideally, CSR policy would function as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby business would monitor and ensure its adherence to law, ethical standards, and international norms. Business would embrace responsibility for the impact of their activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and all other members of the public sphere. Furthermore, business would proactively promote the public interest by encouraging community growth and development, and voluntarily eliminating practices that harm the public sphere, regardless of legality. Essentially, CSR is the deliberate inclusion of public interest into corporate decision-making, and the honoring of a triple bottom line: People, Planet, and Profit.

The practice of CSR is subject to much debate and criticism. Proponents argue that there is a strong business case for CSR, in that corporations benefit in multiple ways by operating with a perspective broader and longer than their own immediate, short-term profits. Critics argue that CSR distracts from the fundamental economic role of businesses; others argue that it is nothing more than superficial window-dressing; others yet argue that it is an attempt to pre-empt the role of governments as a watchdog over powerful multinational corporations. Corporate Social Responsibility has been redefined throughout the years. However, it essentially is titled to aid to an organization’s mission as well as a guide to what the company stands for and will uphold to its consumers.

Social awareness and education

The role among corporate stakeholders to work collectively to pressure corporations is changing. Shareholders and investors themselves, through socially responsible investing are exerting pressure on corporations to behave responsibly. Non-governmental organizations are also taking an increasing role, leveraging the power of the media and the Internet to increase their scrutiny and collective activism around corporate behavior. Through education and dialogue, the development of community in holding businesses responsible for their actions is growing .

Ethics training

The rise of ethics training inside corporations, some of it required by government regulation, is another driver credited with changing the behavior and culture of corporations. The aim of such training is to help employees make ethical decisions when the answers are unclear. Tullberg believes that humans are built with the capacity to cheat and manipulate, a view taken from (Trivers 1971, 1985), hence the need for learning normative values and rules in human behaviour (Tullberg 1996). The most direct benefit is reducing the likelihood of “dirty hands” (Grace and Cohen 2005), fines and damaged reputations for breaching laws or moral norms. Organizations also see secondary benefit in increasing employee loyalty and pride in the organization. Caterpillar and Best Buy are examples of organizations that have taken such steps (Thilmany 2007).

Crises and their consequences

Often it takes a crisis to precipitate attention to CSR. One of the most active stands against environmental management is the CERES Principles that resulted after the Exxon Valdez incident in Alaska in 1989 (Grace and Cohen 2006). Other examples include the lead poisoning paint used by toy giant Mattel, which required a recall of millions of toys globally and caused the company to initiate new risk management and quality control processes. In another example, Magellan Metals in the West Australian town of Experience was responsible for lead contamination killing thousands of birds in the area. The company had to cease business immediately and work with independent regulatory bodies to execute a cleanup.

Stakeholder priorities

Increasingly, corporations are motivated to become more socially responsible because their most important stakeholders expect them to understand and address the social and community issues that are relevant to them. Understanding what causes are important to employees is usually the first priority because of the many interrelated business benefits that can be derived from increased employee engagement (i.e. more loyalty, improved recruitment, increased retention, higher productivity, and so on). Key external stakeholders include customers,

Consumers, investors (particularly institutional investors), regulators, academics, and the media).

Globalization and market forces

As corporations pursue growth through globalization, they have encountered new challenges that impose limits to their growth and potential profits. Government regulations, tariffs, environmental restrictions and varying standards of what constitutes labour exploitation are problems that can cost organizations millions of dollars. Some view ethical issues as simply a costly hindrance. Some companies use CSR methodologies as a strategic tactic to gain public support for their presence in global markets, helping them sustain a competitive advantage by using their social contributions to provide a subconscious level of advertising. (Fry, Keim, Meiners 1986, 105) Global competition places particular pressure on multinational corporations to examine not only their own labour practices, but those of their entire supply chain, from a CSR perspective

03. MERCHANDISING DEPARTMENT:

The Bangladesh garment industry is gaining ground in the world market at breakneck speed, but still not flourished at the fullest extent. Although the resources are available plentiful with a powerful foundation of fabric and spanning sector to support. the key factors behind this are low technological development, lower output, cut throat competition, high raw material cost, inadequate infrastructure, traditional productivity, unfavorable regularity policies, and globalization in fact. However, there a fair list of the producers, suppliers, and exporters that are fully acknowledge with regularity policies and formalities, international marketing policies and procedures. The only concern is in executing their productivity initiatives, and meeting with order deadlines.

Now days, major companies are adopting merchandising concepts, which comply with all procedures to execute and dispatch the shipment on time considering quality, cost and time. Merchandisers are serious in the success of any garment business. They provide the right products at the right time, enabling a company to match with latest market trends and meet the market demand. In the merchandising concept, time management is a gig to manage ones time properly, so he can focus on value adding actions.

Garments merchandising means the work to buy raw material and accessories to produce garments (Merchandise) against a particular work order of garment and have to export these under the same work order within time schedule, maintaining required quality level of buyer
