INTRODUCTION

Cannanore Spinning and Weaving Mill is a labor intensive industry andthey are giving amble job opportunities. The capacity of the mill has increased to 24000 spindles. Spinning mill have weaving facilities for manufacturing yarn. But currently no weaving process s going in the mill. Spinning mill is using line shifting which means the power of the steam engine is transmitted along rotating shafts(roads)to spinning or weaving.The maintaining of the quality aspects, as efficient quality control term with the same precision and attention to detail and quality is functioning in themill. Many people worked as producers of wosolen and cotton clothes. They cleaned,combed and wove the raw raw materials into clothes and this work was done in their own houses. This type of production have become sknown by the general term domestic industry.The process of weaving was physically hardwork and traditionally it was done by the men who were responsible for it, generally at regular intervals each handloom weaver cottage was visited by a cloth merchant. He would bring the raw materials and take away the finished clothe to sell at the cloth hall. However with the advent of industrial revolution all the process of manufacturing yarn and the subsequent production of cloth underwent a dramatic change. The industrial revolution brought about the wide spread replacing of manual labour by machines. Goods that had traditionally been made in homes or in the small workshops began to be manufactured in factories. Productivity and technical efficiency grew dramatically in part through the systematic and practical knowledge of the manufacturing process.

Spinning is the process creating yarn from various rows of fiber materials, several fibers are twisted together to bind them into strong, long yarn. The characteristics of yarn vary based on the material used, fiber length and alignment, quantity of fiber used and degree of twist. Another major invention was the power loom. The power loom was a steam powered mechanically operated version of a regular loom, as invention that combined thread to make cloth. It was improved by William Horrocky and Frensis Cobot in England.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
THE TEXTILE MILL INDUSTRY
Cotton / man made fiber textile industry is the single largest organized industry in the country employing nearly 1lakh workers. Besides this, there is large number of ancillary industries dependent on this sector such as those manufacturing various machinery, accessories stores ancillary and chemicals. Even on a modest assumption that a workers family comprises five persons, the direct dependents on the organized mill industry itself work out to about 60lakhs. Out of the 1837 cotton/man-made fiber textile mills, 192 mills are in the public sector, 154 mills in one co-operative sector and 1491 mills are in the private sector.

The Indian Textile Industry-a legacy of its own

The Indian textile industry has a great legacy, which perhaps unmatched in the history of Indias Industrial Development. Indias textile industry evolved and developed at a very early stage and in manufacturing technology was amongst the best. Indias manually operatedmachines were amongst the best in the world and served as a model for production of the first textile machines in newly industrialized British and Germany. Indias Textile were sought after for their finesse quality and design and attracted people from across the globe like Chinese ,Malaysians, Portuguese etc.

Colonization put an end to Indias glorious textile legacy. By 1880,domestic market had grown to be served solely by the British manufactures. One of the aspect of freedom struggle led by Mahatma Gandhi was weaken the British textile Industry by weaving homespun clothes, as he was convinced that the textile sector would be a catalyze in advancement of the Indian population. Post independence till 1980,the Government of India put numerous restrictions to ensure mechanization did not occur ,labor intensive textiles were produced, which in effect led to increase in price and decrease in productivity.

PRESENT SCENARIO
Global trade in textile and apparels is expected to increase from US $ 356 billion in 2003 to US $ 600 billion by 2010. The way forward for the textile mill sector is through transforming the sector from a resource intensive to knowledge, highly innovative sector with high added value products and services. This can only ensure sustainable growth and jobs in the future. It would also help to secure a competitive advantage, which would be based on the best new products and processes in the world. operations and to intensify their innovation activities. from resources intensive to knowledge intensive sector. The demand for textile in the world is around $18 billion, which increased by 6.5% in 2005. China is the leading textile exporter of the worlds total exports of US $ 400 billion in 2002, followed by India, Hong Kong, Korea etc. The industry has made tremendous efforts in the last years to invest in new productive assets, to streamline To achieve transformation, investment is needed in technological innovations that would assist industry in its transition

SPINNING MILL
A spinning mill is a labour intensive industry and provides ample job opportunities. Cannanore spinning and weaving mill is a unit of the subsidiary of NTC. The capacity of the mill as increased to 24000 spindles. The spinning mill has weaving facilities for manufacturing yarn. But currently no weaving process is going on in the mill. The spinning mill used Line Shafting which means by which the power of the steam engine is transmitted along rotating shafts (rods) to the spinning or weaving mills. Now however electricity is being used which is vastly faster than hand spinning yarn is the final production of the mill. To maintain the quality aspects an efficient quality control team that pays attention to the precisions, detail and quantity is functioning in the mill. All the measures liberated India from the shackles of regulation that were in place in the 1980s and in ensuring that the different segments of the textile industry become competitive in the wake of globalization. The Indian textile and apparel industry occupies a significant position in the global textile map as it is the third largest producer of cotton and cellulose fiber/yarn, the second largest producer of cotton yarn, the largest producer of silk and fifth largest producer of synthetic fiber/yarn.

PRODUCT PROFILE
In Cannanore Spinning And Weaving Mill yarn is the final product. Yarn is the long continuous length of inter located fiber, suitable for production of textiles, weaving and rope making. Very thin yarn is referred to as thread. Yarn used for fabric manufacturing that is made from spinning short length of various types of fibers. Yarn is usually measured by weights. Synthetic fibers which have high strength and fiber retardant qualities sare blended with natural fibers which have good water absorbents and skin comforting qualities in different proportions to manufacture yarn for fabrics. The most widely used blends are cotton polyesters and wool acrylic fiber bends. Mainly there are two types of yarn. They are cone yarn and hank yarn.

Cone yarn
After all the work required for producing yarn,we will get the final yarn as the output. The cone yarn is bit different from actual yarn. The yarn from the copes are wound on a paper called cone yarn.

Hank yarn
For different usage different kinds of yarns are required. Likewise usually handloom weavers need another kind of yarn. That is known as hank yarn.

Organization Study The first step in the production process is called Mixing. In this process, Polyester staple fiber is mixed with VSF in a pre-determined proportion according to the requirements of yarn to be manufactured. In that particular count, there are three varieties of mixing in the mill. They are as follows. 1. 60 PSR (100%) 2. 45 pv (65:35) blend 3. 50 pv slub 4. 30 pv slub. In order to identify the count and mixing proportion Polyester Staple Fiber is given a tint. Tinting helps in easy identification of counts. Different food colors, light green, yellow and pink which can be washed easily is used for tinting and this is maintained until it is given to the weaving merchants. Mixing is done by mixing coolies or mixing attendant as per requirements.

Blow Room
The loose mix collected from mixing department is charged to the blow room where they are toppled manually in order to get a homogenous blend of various ingredients of the mix, polyester and viscose. The toppled mix is then passed through the condenser into the tanker and through the pipes it is fed to the second blow room machines. The objective of this process is to open out thick masses of the new materials of finish pieces and to give a thorough blending of polyesters and viscose. Certain amount of impurities of foreign matter and metal particles, if any has to be extracted. The raw materials is

converted into a sheet form and wound on a rod. This is called a lap, the length and weight of each lap is determined. The length of lap is 30 yards and standard weight is 13kg. A East Point College of Higher Education 23

Organization Study

tolerance of plus or minus 300 gm is permitted. The duration for forming one lap is approximately 6 minutes.

Carding Process
Carding is the heart of the Spinning Process. The lap is collected from the blow room is fed to the carding machines of the carding department. In this machines, Sheet form of laps are converted into silver form. Each lap is drafted 90 to 100 times and parallelization of fiber takes place. Here short fibers, if any are extracted and the fibers are straightened and parallelized into uniform size to eliminate un-evenness in the yarn thickness and to ensure uniform weight. Cords are allocated to each count, according to the spin plan and the silver is collected from the Cording machines Count wise. each silver has a length of about 3000 meters and time for producing I can silver is 2 to 2.30 hours. There are about 42 carding machines running in this mill. Conventional cards have an average life 50 years.

Drawing Process
In the drawing process card silver produced I the carding department is passed on to this department. Here homogenous blending takes place. There are of two types:1. Breaker Head 2. Finisher Head Breaker Head drawing:- In this process 8 can of silver is fed to one delivery of drawing machines and each of these 8 silvers are converted into a single silver by bending and drafting and is collected in one can, 8 doubling is taking place to form a single silver.

Each drawing machines can deliver 16 cans in total, with 8 cabs placed on each side and collected in 2 cans. A maximum of 3000 yards cab be collected in a single Can be East Point College of Higher Education 24

Organization Study collected in a single can after doubling. The product of breaker head is breaker drawing silver.

Finisher head drawing

Here 8 cans collected from the breaker head of drawing machines is again processed, in another head of drawing machines. After this processing, about 4000 yards are collected in a can. The silver collected from finisher drawing silver. This is the end product of drawing department. The Capacity of the Drawing department is 16 deliveries. A drawing tender has to look after 6 deliveries.

Simplex (Speed Frame)

In this department the finisher drawing silver produced in the drawing department is fed to the Simplex Machines. 132 cans are fed to each Simplex Machine (120 cans LF 1400 Speed frames). The silver is passed through the drafting zone 12 to 13 times. A certain amount of twist is imparted on the body of drafted material, which is called Rove. This rove is wound on plastic bobbins having a package weight 7500 gm to 1 kg. Speed frame department has simplex machines having 12020 spindles.

Spinning (Ring Frame)

East Point College of Higher Education 25

Organization Study

In the Spinning Department bobbins that are brought from the simplex department are related on the ring frame feel and rove is drawn through the drafting, twisting and winding. Rove is drafted to a thinner form of yarn.It is drafted to 20 to 27 times according to the count to be spun. Different counts can have different twist, which blinds the fiber with one another. This is called TPI (Twist Per Inch). A normal yarn has 25 TPI. Yarn is wound on plastic tubes that are called Cops. Average content on a Cop is about 70 grams. These Cops are taken into the next department that is Cone Winding.

Cone Winding
In this department yarn on Cops is convserted into Cone form. In the Cone

Department all types of defects in yarn is rectified and also yarn on cone will be defect free. According to the requirement of the market bigger Cone of yarn is packed weighting 1.50 kg each. A winder has to look after 15.30 runs according to the count of the yarn. The full built Cone of 1.5 kg is removed and collected by the winder and then it is stacked in the bins count wise in the packing department. The Cone winding machinery has 120 Spindles that are it winds 120 Cones at a time and it takes about 2.30 hours. This department has 7 cone winding machines and thereby each machine requires 2 persons.

Cone Packing
In this department the final product of yarn on cones are packed in polythene bags. One such bag contains 60 Cones and net weight of 1 bag is 42 kg. They put necessary details like count, gross weight, month, year of packing bag number in lot numbers, then these bags are ready for dispatch to the market. There are 6 workers in this department.

QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT

One of the achievements of the industrial revolution has been the ability of Mass-producing goods of uniform quality. In recent years, poor quality has been causing problem and an embarrassment to the industry owners. Quality Control has there fore become highly relevant. Quality refers to the sum of the attributes or properties that affect a product. These are generally expressed in terms of Specific product characteristics such as length, width, gravity etc. To be meaningful in an Industrial sense, these characteristics must be qualitatively expressed in terms that can be objectively measured or observed. Systematic control of these factors is the quality control. Quality is the only weapon to fight competition. In Cannanore Spinning and Weaving Mill routine quality control is done in each department on regular basis in order to ensure quality norms of the yarn. Quality of yarn is checked at different stages of production. Samples are taken from roving and spinning departments. The Standard measure for calculating the quality of yarn is grains. 1 gram=15.7 grains at the end of the production One benefit of quality is increased productivity. Increased Productivity results in better profit and builds customer loyalty.
