A Promise to our Heritage The 60s. A decade of tumultuous change, hope and promise saw John F. Kennedy take over as the President of the United States; the civil rights struggle; Woodstock and Neil Armstrong on the moon. The same decade saw the seeds of enterprise sown in the desert sands of Rajasthan, in 1961. Starting a small textile unit with 12,500 spindles manufacturing Carded Cotton Hosiery Yarn, RSWM added another 13,000 spindles for Synthetic Yarn. This made RSWM the pioneer of Viscose and Polyester spinning on the modified Cotton System and Dyed Synthetic Fiber. This began the spinning of a superlative success story. A dream that started small but had the passion to grow, to lead, to show the way. A vision that saw a small textile unit pioneer bloom in the Synthetic Yarn market, emerging as a leader named RSWM Ltd., or simply RSWM. A name that now stands for class and quality in Yarn and Fabric. RSWM is the flagship of the LNJ Bhilwara Group. Today, the Company has installed over 2,42,000 spindles and over to weaving machines, with a product range that includes Polyester / Viscose Yarn and Fabric, Flame Retardant Fabric, Specialty Tencel and Lycra Blends. RSWM has also built Mayur Suitings into one of India's top textile brands. A Promise to Deliver For us, it is not enough to manufacture the finest Blended Yarn, Cotton Mlange Yarn and Synthetic Yarn and Fabric. The real goal is to ensure that the finished Yarn and Fabric reach our customers on time, every time. Over the years, we have evolved proven procedures. Our Centralized Production Planning Cell (CPPC) has an experienced team of time conscious production planners. All plants are computerized, which is a key tool towards productivity enhancement, information dissemination and development. VSAT links connect all plants and offices with all shipment points continuously tracking shipping movements, ensuring timely delivery. ERP 12

systems have been implemented across the board. The use of Palletized cartons are a standard practice, with direct delivery on containers, proving that we mean business, and giving us the means to deliver. A Promise to Care We are an equal opportunity employer, making no distinctions between genders, religions, castes or ethnic origins. Our work force is representative of India's multi-cultural identity and rich and diverse social fabric. Our staff's welfare is not about corporate ethics but enlightened self-interest. For us they are an investment in building our business. Fostering a healthy work-culture helps us retain our competitive edge. Workers in all our plants enjoy a host of facilities and benefits... housing, Medicare, co-operative stores, banking, loans, children's education, sports and recreation. We are committed to the enhancement of the professional skills of our workers and managers. We organize training workshops regularly and send our Engineers and other key personnel abroad to keep abreast of global trends in technology, product mix and design. Continuous training has seen RSWM emerge as the cradle of leadership within the group. Most of the CEOs of the group companies began their careers here as trainees. The other focus area is the development of in-house capabilities in maintenance and servicing. This helps ensure low downtime. To facilitate this, our engineering talents are deputed to our machinery suppliers' plants to master maintenance and servicing issues. A Promise to the Earth In a culture, where the earth is referred to as Mother, caring for the environment is ingrained. In caring for the earth we are committed to leaving our children and the generations to come a clean, green earth. A promise that we live by and live up to in everything we do.

13

At every step in the manufacturing process, we employ eco-friendly processes not just to abide by laws but also to sustain and take forward the 'green' traditions that form a rich part of our heritage. Effluent treatment is carried out using the latest state-of-the-art technology. All the water used in fabric dyeing and finishing is recycled for use in the process-house and in horticulture. We are continuously greening all our plants, residential and other facilities, planting thousands of saplings every year. Our environmental care is executed with an eye for detail. The Banswara unit has over 42,000 square meters of greens, with over 50,000 plants having been planted on the campus and an exquisite 11-acre orchard surrounding an artificial lake. The Banswara unit was accorded the best plantation award in Rajasthan. So while we 'do' yarns and textiles, we 'think' environment. A Promise to Perform When we make a promise, we back it with all that we have - resources, infrastructure, technology and will power. In the final analysis, what counts is the way an organization raises up to any challenge and its performance. State-of-the-art manufacturing facilities at Gulabpura, Banswara, Rishabhdev and Mandpam in Rajasthan are backed by modern testing equipment and stringent quality checks on process parameters and quality. All units and offices have implemented Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Management Systems ensuring timely delivery schedules. All these plants have captive in-house power generation, avoiding production downtime due to power-cuts. These facilities are totally self-sufficient in power. RSWM, Banswara, is the first textile unit in India to implement Total Quality Management (TQM) in 1997. This was made possible by empowering the team at the unit to work seamlessly together, forming one cohesive entity, driven by a single goal... that of ensuring and maintaining the highest quality, resulting in brilliant overall performance.

14

A Promise to be One RSWM's integrated units are spread across the state of Rajasthan, each handling specialized processes, from raw fiber handling to final product delivery, on time every time. Each process smoothly collaborates with the next, ensuring a legacy of supreme quality.

Every Team Member is highly trained in all the latest trends and technologies. Together they drive themselves to work efficiently around the clock.

HISTORY OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY


India has been well known for her textile goods since very ancient times. The traditional textile industry of India was virtually decayed during the colonial regime. However, the modern textile industry took birth in India in the early nineteenth century when the first textile mill in the country was established at fort gloster near Calcutta in 1818. The cotton textile industry, however, made its real beginning in Bombay, in 1850s. The first cotton textile mill of Bombay was established in 1854 by a Parsi cotton merchant then engaged in overseas and internal trade. Indeed, the vast majority of the early mills were the handiwork of Paris merchants engaged in yarn and cloth trade at home and Chinese and African markets. The first cotton mill in Ahmadabad, which was eventually to emerge as a rival centre to Bombay, was established in 1861. The spread of the textile industry to Ahmadabad was largely due to the Gujarati trading class. The cotton textile industry made rapid progress in the second half of the nineteenth century and by the end of the century there were 178 cotton textile mills; but during the year 1900 the cotton textile industry was in bad state due to the great famine and a number of mills of Bombay and Ahmadabad were to be closed down for long periods.

15

The two world War and the Swadeshi movement provided great stimulus to the Indian cotton textile industry. However, during the period 1922 to 1937 the industry was in doldrums and during this period a number of the Bombay mills changed hands. The second World War, during which textile import from Japan completely stopped, however, brought about an unprecedented growth of this industry. The number of mills increased from 178 with 4.05 lakh looms in 1901 to 249 mills with 13.35 lakh looms in 1921 and further to 396 mills with over 20 lakh looms in 1941. By 1945 there were 417 mills employing 5.10 lakh workers. The cotton textile industry is rightly described as a Swadeshi industry because it was developed with indigenous entrepreneurship and capital and in the pre-independence era the Swadeshi movement stimulated demand for Indian textile in the country. The partition of the country at the time of independence affected the cotton textile industry also. The Indian union got 409 out of the 423 textiles mills of the undivided India. 14 mills and 22 per cent of the land under cotton cultivation went to Pakistan. Some mills were closed down for some time. For a number of years since independence, Indian mills had to import cotton from Pakistan and other countries. After independence, the cotton textile industry made rapid strides under the Plans. Between 1951 and 1982 the total number of spindles doubled from 11 million to 22 million. It increased further to well over 26 million by 1989-90.

16

PRESENT POSITION OF INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY


The Indian textile industry contributes about 14 per cent to industrial production, 4 per cent to the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and 17 per cent to the countrys export earnings, according to the Annual Report 2009-10 of the Ministry of Textiles. It provides direct employment to over 35 million people and is the second largest provider of employment after agriculture. According to the Ministry of Textiles, the cumulative production of cloth during April09- March10 has increased by 8.3 per cent as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. Moreover, total textile exports have increased to US$ 18.6 billion during April09- January10, from US$ 17.7 billion during the corresponding period of the previous year, registering an increase of 4.95 per cent in rupee terms. Further, the share of textile exports in total exports has increased to 12.36 per cent during April09-January10, according to the Ministry of Textiles. As per the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) data released by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO), cotton textiles has registered a growth of 5.5 per cent during April- March 2009-10, while wool, silk and man-made fibre textiles have registered a growth of 8.2 per cent while textile products including wearing apparel have registered a growth of 8.5 per cent.

INDIAS MAJOR COMPETITIORS IN THE WORLD


To understand Indias position among other textile producing the industry contributes 9% of GDP and 35% of foreign exchange earnings, Indias share in global exports is only 3% compared to Chinas 13.75% percent. In addition to China, other developing countries are emerging as serious competitive threats to India. Looking at export shares, Korea (6%) and Taiwan (5.5%) are ahead of India, while Turkey (2.9%) has already caught up and others like Thailand (2.3%) and Indonesia (2%) are not much further behind. The reason for this development is the fact that India lags behind these countries in investment levels, technology, quality and logistics. If India were competitive in some key segments it could serve as a basis for building a modern industry, but there is no evidence of such signs, except to some extent in the spinning industry

PROBLEM FACED BY THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY IN INDIA


The cotton textile industry is reeling under manifold problems. The major problems are the following: Sickness: Sickness is widespread in the cotton textile industry. After the engineering industry, the cotton textile industry has the highest incidence of sickness. As many as 125 sick units have been taken over by the Central Government. Sickness is caused by various reasons. Obsolescence:

18

The plant and machinery and technology employed by a number of units are obsolete. The need today is to make the industry technologically up-to-date rather than expand capacity as such. This need was foreseen quite sometime back and schemes for modernisation of textile industry had been introduced. The soft loan scheme was introduced a few years back and some units were able to take advantage of the scheme and modernise their equipment. However, the problem has not been fully tackled and it is of utmost importance that the whole industry is technologically updated. Not many companies would be able to find resources internally and will have to depend on financial institutions and other sources. Government-Regulations; Government regulations like the obligation to produced

controlled cloth are against the interest of the industry. During the last two decades the excessive regulations exercised by the government on the mill sector has promoted inefficiency in both production and management. This has also resulted in a colossal waste of raw materials and productive facilities. For example, the mills are not allowed to use filament yarn in warp in order to protect the interest of art silk and power loom sector which use this yarn to cater to the affluent section of society. Low Yield and Fluctuation of Cotton Output: The cotton yield per hectare of land is very low in India. This results in high cost and price. Further, being largely dependent on the climatic factors, the total raw cotton production is subject to wide fluctuation causing serious problems for the mills in respect of the supply of this vital raw material. Competition from Man-made Fibres:

19

One of the serious challenges facing the cotton textile industry is the competition from the man-made fibres and synthetics. These textures are gradually replacing cotton textiles.

This substitution has in fact been supported by a number of people on the ground that it is not possible to increase substantially the raw cotton production without affecting other crops particularly food crops. Competition from other Countries: In the international market, India has been facing severe competition from other countries like Taiwan, South Korea, China and Japan. The high cost of production of the Indian industry is a serious adverse factor. Labour Problems: The cotton textile industry is frequently plagued by labour problems. The very long strike of the textile workers of Bombay caused losses amounting to millions of rupees not only to the workers and industry but also to the nation in terms of excise and other taxes and exports. Accumulation of Stock: At times the industry faces the problems of very low off take of stocks resulting in accumulation of huge stocks. The situation leads to price cuts and the like leading to loss or low profits. Miscellaneous: The industry faces a number of other problems like power cuts, infrastructural problems, lack of finance, exorbitant rise in raw material prices and production costs etc. 20

SWOT ANALYSIS OF INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY


Strengths: Indian Textile Industry is an Independent & Self-Reliant industry. Abundant Raw Material availability that helps industry to control costs and reduces the lead-time across the operation. Availability of Low Cost and Skilled Manpower provides competitive advantage to industry. Availability of large varieties of cotton fiber and has a fast growing synthetic fibre industry. India has great advantage in Spinning Sector and has a presence in all process of operation and value chain. India is one of the largest exporters of Yarn in international market and contributes around 25% share of the global trade in Cotton Yarn. The Apparel Industry is one of largest foreign revenue contributor and holds 12% of the countrys total export. Industry has large and diversified segments that provide wide variety of products. Growing Economy and Potential Domestic and International Market.

21

Industry has Manufacturing Flexibility that helps to increase the productivity.

Weaknesses: Indian Textile Industry is highly Fragmented Industry. Industry is highly dependent on Cotton. Lower Productivity in various segments. There is Declining in Mill Segment. Lack of Technological Development that affect the productivity and other activities in whole value chain. Infrastructural Bottlenecks and Efficiency such as, Transaction Time at Ports and transportation Time. Unfavourable labour Laws. Lack of Trade Membership, which restrict to tap other potential market. Lacking to generate Economies of Scale. Higher Indirect Taxes, Power and Interest Rates. Opportunities: Growth rate of Domestic Textile Industry is 6-8% per annum. Large, Potential Domestic and International Market. Product development and Diversification to cater global needs.

22

Elimination of Quota Restriction leads to greater Market Development. Market is gradually shifting towards Branded Readymade Garment. Increased Disposable Income and Purchasing Power of Indian Customer opens New Market Development. Emerging Retail Industry and Malls provide huge opportunities for the Apparel, Handicraft and other segments of the industry. Threats: Competition from other developing countries, especially China. Continuous Quality Improvement is need of the hour as there are different demand patterns all over the world. Elimination of Quota system will lead to fluctuations in Export Demand. Threat for Traditional Market for Power loom and Handloom Products and forcing them for product diversification. Geographical Disadvantages.

PRODUCTION PROCEDURE :Production of yarn follows the following procedure: Different constituent such as cotton, polyester, viscose, acrylic etc. forms yarn. For polyester or viscose yarn both constituents are mixed in a definite ratio. Fiber could be painted by spraying colors. 1) BLOW ROOM LINE: It is machine that works for formation of lap. It is like a mattress of raw material i.e. polyester/viscose or cotton. After lap formation it is wounded around lap bar. In RSWM, Lakshmi Rieter & Trutzschler have launched the machine. It uses high load motor for 960 rpm of 2 kW. 2) CARDING: After lap formation sliver is formed. For it carding machine is used. Sliver is very thick and loose type thread. The sliver is stored in drums. There is a sensor, which sense the broken of the sliver and after breaking it is join by the worker. The machine is automatically stopped after breaking of the slider. In RSWM LR (Lakshmi Rieter) this process is also remove the dust particles from the sliver. It used a pulley of M-8/1006. 3) DRAWING:

27

In this sliver is made thicker by combing 8 or 16 slivers together to form a single sliver. It produces evenness in sliver. Vouk and LR have launched it is RSWM. In this the air pressure is applied on the sliver. In this process the material is passed through the machine at two times. In which the first material is known as breaker and the other one is none as finisher. This process is also called as Draw Frame.

28

4) SPEED FRAME: The sliver from the draw frame is thread with fewer diameters than sliver. It is used for rowing formation. It is wounded on bobbin. This bobbin is known as S/F. Lakshmi Rieter has launched it in RSWM. The speed of speed frame machine is 1100spm. There are minimum 4 speed frames in each unit. 5) RING FRAME: This machine is used for ultimate formation of yarn. wounded on small bobbins. spinmax. There is a LED and photo detector, which senses the any breakage of the yarn. The LED and photo detector is placed on the both ends of the machine. It is automatically stopped if any yarn is broken. The yarn made has a particular count. The roller to the drafting the rowing does this work. They give the twisting in the yarn with the help of ring and traveler. The thickness of the yarn is depending on the count. If the count is more (FINE) the yarn is thin and if the count is less closing (COARSE) the yarn is thick. LR has launched it is RSWM. 6) AUTOCONER: The function of this machine is to wind yarn from bobbin to cone. With the help of splicing the yarn is combined together from the different bobbin. The splicing procedure is carried by air pressure which of two types: (1) Wet splicing (2) Dry splicing. The yarn is a pass through an electronics gage, which major any type of fault in the yarn and remove the fault by the worker. It has three models: (a) (b) (c) 138-conventional machines. 238-middle edge model. 338-electronically operated Sthalaftorft has launched it in RSWM. This yarn is This ring frame is connected with a

communication system called ring data and its speed is controlled by

29

7) CHEESE WINDER: In this machine two or more than two yarn are combined together on the cheese. So this process is known as cheese winding. It only combines not produce any twist. Texttool, has launched it in RSWM. 8) T.F.O. (two for one twister): As it indicate in this machine two yarn are combined as well as twisted. These processes minimize the unwanted knots in the yarn. Star Volkamann VTS-07 has launched it is RSWM. 9) DOUBLING MACHINE: It is used for twisting two yarn found from cheese winder. the bobbin. 10) WINDING: The yarn from the doubling process is against wounded on the cone by which the weight and length of the yarn is same. 11) PACKAGING: After through checking all the cones are packed in cartoons or bags as per process and sent to the yarn go-down. In packing department relative humidity is quite high viz. 90% to provide adequate moisture to the yarn. Although it will be increase the yarn package. There are two types of packages: Domestic use Export oriented There are two types of packing: Pilot packing. Cartoon packing This machine works same as ring frame machine and the yarn is again wound on

30

Checking
A Checking procedure is followed to ensure that material should not be mixed with another. For this purpose cones on a trolley are checked by ultra violet light in a dark chamber. If the material is mixed or any other variations like count/blend etc. are there it will be reflected by shade variation in the cones and under UV lamp, the reflectance would be different for normal and defective portion by virtue of which we can attest the cones.

INSPECTIO BY THE PACKING INVESTIGATOR Each cone and final yarn shall be inspected in packing department for its quality before packing. Packing investigator shall segregate4 the cone having defective yam, wrong label. The weighting man shall check net yam content to be packed in a cartoon bag before packing and adjust the weight as tolerance limit.

It tends to find out the effectiveness in the management of Working capital at RSWM LTD. For this purpose data were collected from the past financial statements of the company. Working capital is as import in business firm as blood in a human life. Each and every business concern should have adequate funds to meet out day-to-day expenses and to finance current assets, debtors, receivables and inventories. Proper management of working capital is necessary to maintain both liquidity and profitability. The goal of working capital management is to manage the firms current assets and current liabilities in such a way that a satisfactory level of working capital is maintained. It is the process of planning and controlling the

50

level and mix of the current assets of the firm as well as financing these assets.

INTRODUCTION TO WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT


Meaning: Capital is the life and blood of a business organization Capital required for a business can be classified under two main categories. Kind of Working Capital

On the basis of concept time

On the basis of

Gross Net Temporary or Working working Variable Capital capital Working

Fixed or permanent Working Capital capital

Regular Season W.C Working Capital

Reverse Working Capital

Special Working Capital

Long-term funds are required to create production facilities through purchase of fixed assets such as plant and machinery, land and building, furniture and fixtures etc. Investments in these assets are blocked on a permanent or fixed basis and are called fixed capital.

51

Funds are also needed for short-term purposes for the purchase of raw materials, payment of wages and other day-to-day expenses, etc. These funds are known as Working Capital (WC). It refers to that part of firms capital, which is required for financing short-term or current assets such, as cash, marketable securities, debtors and inventories. Funds, thus, invested in current asset keep revolving fast and are being constantly converted into cash and this cash flow out again in exchange for other current assets. Hence it is also known as revolving or circulating capital or short-term capital. The need of WC arises due to the time gap between production and realization of cash from sales. There is an operating cycle involved in the sales and realization of cash. There are time gaps in purchase of raw material and production, production and sales and realization of cash. Thus, WC is needed to meet various expenses during these times. A business undertaking requires funds for two purposes: To create productive capacities through purchase of fixed assets etc. and To finance current assets required for day to day running of the business. Working capital refers to the funds invested in current assets, i.e., investment in stock. Sundry debtors, cash and other current assets, Current assets are essential to use fixed assets profitably. For example: A machine cannot be used without raw material. The investment on the purchase of raw material is identified as working capital.

52

CONCEPTS OF WORKIING CAPITAL

There are two concepts of working Capital Gross Concept Net Concept GROSS WORKING CAPITAL: Simply called as working capital, it refers to the firms investment in current assets. Current assets are the assets, which can be converted into cash within an accounting year (or operating cycle), and include cash, shortterm securities, debtors, bills receivables and stock (inventory).

NET WORKING CAPITAL (NWC) NWC = Current Assets Current Liabilities Current liabilities are those claims of outsiders, which are expected to mature for payment within an accounting year (or operating cycle) and include creditors, bills payable and outstanding expenses. Net working capital can be positive or negative. A positive net working capital will arise when current assets exceed current liabilities. On the other hand, negative working capital occurs when current liabilities are in excess of current assets. The gross working capital concept focuses attention on two aspects of current assets management. Optimum investment in current assets. Financing of current assets. The consideration of the level of investment in current assets should avoid two danger points 1) 2) Excessive investment. Inadequate investment in current assets.

53

Excessive investment in current assets should be avoided because it impairs firms profitability, as idle investment earns nothing. On the other hand, inadequate amount of working capital can threaten solvency of the firm because of its inability to meet its current obligations. Net working capital being the difference between current assets and current liabilities is a qualitative concept. It indicates the liquidity position of the firm and it suggests the extent to which working capital needs may be financed by permanent sources of the funds. From the point of view of TIME working capital can be divided into two categories: 1) 2) Permanent working capital. Temporary working capital.

Permanent working capital: Refers to that minimum level of investment in the current asset that is carried by the business at all times to carry out minimum level of its activities. Since permanent working capital remains in the business on long-term basis, it should be financed from long-term sources.

Temporary working capital: Refers to that part of total working capital, which is required by a business over and above permanent working capital. variable working capital. It is also called as Since the volume of temporary working capital

keeps on fluctuating from time to time according to the business activities it may be financed from short-term sources. Working capital management policies have a great effect on the firms Profitability. Liquidity Structural health. 54

Gross working capital consists of cash, receivables and inventory. If a firm has relatively high investment in these assets in comparison to a firm, which is transacting the same volume of sale, it will have lower profitability in comparison to the latter. Therefore, a firm, which has high working capital turnover, will have higher profitability. The current ratio and quick ratio indicate liquidity aspect of the firm. If current assets are reduced beyond limit, the current and quick ratio will have adversely affected leading the firm to poor liquidity.

Therefore, it is essential that a proper balance be struck between profitability and liquidity. In fact profitability and liquidity are inversely related, when one increases the other decreases. A firm having high liquidity will have a lower profitability and vice versa.

Working capital management policies also have a great impact on the structural health of the organization. If different components of working capital are not properly balanced then in spite of the fact that current and quick ratios may indicate satisfactory financial position in respect of the liquidity of the firm. It may not in fact be as liquid as indicated by the current and quick ratios.

55

IMPORTANCE OF ADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL Proper management of working capital is very essential for the smooth functioning of the business. Optimum utilization of fixed assets can only be done when we have proper management of working capital working capital is required for purchasing raw material in to finished, sales expenses, distribution expenses etc. Both excessive as well as inadequate working capital positions are harmful from the firms point of view. Excessive working capital leads to idle funds and company has to pay huge amount as interest and opportunity cost for this idle fund. One the other hand, inadequate working capital not only impairs firms profitability but also result in production interruption and inefficiencies. So a firm should have adequate. Working capital should be adequate for the following reasons: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) Quick payment to suppliers. Increase in debt capacity & goodwill. Cash discount. Easy availability of bank loans. Exploitation of favorable opportunity. Meeting unseen contingencies. Distribution of adequate dividends.

Determinants of Working Capital 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) Nature & size of the business. Production cycle. Business cycle Credit policy Volume of sales. Price level change Profit level Seasonal operation Production policy. Managements ability.

56

COMPONENTS OF WORKING CAPITAL

The main components of the Working Capital Management are as follows: Receivable Management. Cash Management Inventory Management Payables Management

RECEIVABLE MANAGEMENT: Receivable management highlights the importance of account receivable in the day-to-day operations of a business enterprise and the role of receivable management in improving profitability and liquidity of an enterprise. Various dimension of receivable management viz. Credit Standards, Credit Analysis, Credit Terms and Collection Policies are included in receivable management. The Average Collection Patterns are the methods of monitoring accounts receivable. Account receivables represent the amount due from its customers to whom the company has extended the credit.

57

CASH MANAGEMENT: Cash the most liquid asset, is of vital importance to the daily operations of the business firms. While the proportion of corporate assets held in the form of cash is very small, often between 1% and 3%, its efficient management is crucial to the solvency of the business because in a very important sense cash is the focal point of fund flow in a business. In view of its importance, it is generally referred to as the life blood of a business enterprise. The evidence suggests that the existing practices of cash inflows and outflows predictions remain much to be desired. Concentration banking is the most popular technique employed by the business forms to intensify cash inflows. Usually the local sales office or a branch of the company performs this function. The management at the head Office utilizes these funds on the basis of daily collection reports. As regards the control of cash outflows, firms have a tendency to defer payment till the last moment. Funds are arranged only on the day cheques are expected be presented by the payee and for the amount necessary to honour the cheques. In the case of local payment, cheques are many times handed over after the banking hours. At RSWM cash management is essence; means it is the main component of working capital management, all efforts are made to contain the length of the operating cycle to a reasonable level. In particular, the company has been able to reduce substantially the overall inventory levels through proper vendor selection and development. What is more striking is the fact that the company takes as much care of its suppliers as it does for its customers. As a result the suppliers readily come forward to accommodate any temporary delay in payments.

58

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT: Working Capital as net concept is defined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Current assets being those assets that are likely to be converted into liquidity within a year are time or so. These include items like inventories of raw materials, semi manufactured articles or work-in-progress and finished goods, accounts receivables handier or bills receivables, bank balance and cash balance etc. Current liabilities are in essence short-term liabilities, which have to be settled in a years time. These include accounts payable or amount payable to suppliers of goods and services for goods and services delivered on credit, bills payable, bank overdraft etc. since inventories constitute a major item of current assets, the management of inventories is crucial to successful working capital management. Working capital requirements are influenced by inventory holding the period during which raw materials remains in store, during which processing takes place and that during which finished goods lie in the warehouse prior to sale. The level of inventory invested affects the total investment in working capital. Thus, operating ratio of turnover or sales to Working Capital are affected by it as well.

59

PAYABLES MANAGEMENT:

A substantial part of purchases of goods and services in business are on credit terms rather than against cash payment. White the supplier of goods and services tends to perceive credit as a lever for enhancing sales or as a form of non-price instrument of competition; the buyer tends to look upon at as a loaning of goods or inventory. The suppliers credit is referred to as accounts payable, trade credit, trade acceptance, commercial draft or bills payable depending on the nature of credit provided. The extend to which this buy now, pay latter facility is provided will depend upon a variety of factors such as the nature, quality and volume of items to be purchased, the prevalent practices in the trade, the degree of competition and the financial status of the parties concerned. Trade credit or payables constitute a major segment of current liabilities in many business enterprises and they primarily finance inventories, which form a major component of current assets in many cases.

60

WORKING CAPITAL FINANCING After determining the level of working capital, a firm has to decide how it is to be financed. Although long-term funds partly finance current assets and provide the margin money for working capital, such working capitals are virtually exclusively supported by short-term sources. Funds available for a period of one year or less are called short-term finance. In India, short-term funds are used to finance working capital. The organization can go for various sources, which can be discussed below: Spontaneous sources: (a) Trade Credit: from supplier of goods in the normal course of business (b) Outstanding services Expenses: without paying for the same for immediately, thus getting the finance for working capital purposes. This may apply to salaries wages, telephone expenses etc. Inter-corporate Deposits: by one company from Commercial Papers: discount. Banks: (a) Non-Fund Based Lending (1) (2) Bank Guarantees Letter of Credit another company, usually both the companies being under the same management It is an unsecured promissory note issued at It indicates the amount of funds borrowed The company is able to get the benefit of the Trade credit refers to the credit that customers get

61

(b) Fund-Based Lending (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Loan Cash credit Bills Purchased/discounted Working Capital Term Loans Packing Credit.

MODE OF SECURITY Banks provide credit on the basis of the following modes of security.

1)

HYPOTHECATION: Under this mode of security, the banks provide credit to borrowers against the security of movable property, usually inventory of goods. The goods hypothecated, however continues to be in the possession of the owner of these goods (i.e. borrowers).

2)

PLEDGE: Pledge, as a mode of security, is different from hypothecation in that, in the former unlike the later, the goods that are offered as security are transferred to the physical position of the lender.

3)

LIEN: The term Lien refers to the right of a party to retain goods belonging to another party until the debt due to him is paid. Lien can be of two types: Particular Lien: Particular Lien is of a right to retain goods until a claim pertaining to these goods is fully paid. General Lien: This Lien can be applied till all due of the claimant are paid. Banks enjoy general lien.

62

4)

MORTGAGE: It is the transfer of interest in specific immovable property for securing the payment of money advanced.

5)

CHARGE: Where immovable property of one person is by the act of properties or by the operation of the law made security for the payment of money to another and the transaction does not amount to mortgage, the latter person is said to have a charge on the property and the provision of simple mortgage will apply to such a charge. At RSWM security given to the banks is in the form of Hypothecation

63

Working Capital Operating Cycle:The WC Cycle starts with the purchase of raw materials and ends with the realization of cash from the sale of finished products. It plays an important part in determining WC requirements: longer the period of this cycle, larger is the requirement of WC. Various phase involved in WC operating cycle are as follows: 1) Acquisition of resources: It companies of 2) Purchase of raw materials: Payment of raw material to raw-material suppliers after the credit period allowed by them. Manufacture of the product: 3) 4) them. Conversion of raw material to work in progress. Conversion of work in progress to finished goods.

Sale of Finished goods. Realization of cash from debtors after the credit period allowed to

1)

Accounts Payable period: This is the period from the day of acquisition of raw material to the payment of raw materials. In other it is the credit period allowed to the organization by raw material suppliers.

2)

Cash Cycle: The period from the day of payment for raw material purchased till the realization of cash against sales. Cash Cycle = WC Operating Cycle Accounts Payable Period

3)

Inventory Period: The period is beginning from the day of receipt of raw materials in the factory till the day of dispatch of finished goods.

4)

Accounts Receivable Period: The period beginning from day of dispatch of finished goods to the buyer and ending on the day of realization of cash against sales.

5)

Operating Cycle: The time that elapses between the purchase of raw materials and the collection of cash for sales is referred to as operating cycle. Operating Cycle = Inventory Period + Accounts Receivable Period.

OPERATING CYCLE CONCEPTS There are two concepts of operating cycle. 1) 2) Gross operating cycle period Net operating period.

GROSS OPERATING CYCLE PERIOD: The successive segments of the operating cycle are: 1) 2) 3) 4) Raw material storage period. Conversion period. Finished goods storage period. Average Collection period. The total duration of the entire segment mentioned above is known as gross operating period. 65

CASE-I In case the company sells its products for cash then the segment of average collection period will disappear from the gross operating cycle period and to that extent the total duration of the cycle gets reduced.

CASH-II In case advance payments are to be made for procuring materials, the operating cycle period increases.

NET OPERATING CYCLE PERIOD: When the average payment period of the company to its suppliers is deducted from the gross operating cycle period the resultant period is called net operating cycle period or simply operating cycle. It becomes obvious that the shorter the duration of operating cycle period, the faster will be the transformation of current assets into cash. The operating cycle approach is quite useful in: Managing Controlling and Forecasting working capital.

66

EVENTS OF OPERATING CYCLE

1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

The operating cycle (working capital cycle) consists of the following event, which continues through out the life of business. Conversion of cash into raw materials. Conversion of raw materials into work-in-progress. Conversion of work-in-progress into finished stock. Conversion of finished stocks into accounts receivables through sale and Conversion of accounts receivables into cash.

The duration of the operating cycle for the purpose of estimating working capital is equal to the sum of the duration of each of above said events, less the credit period allowed by the suppliers. In the form of an equation, the operating cycle process can be expressed as follows: Operating cycle = R + W + F + D C Where, R = Raw material and stores storage period. W = Work-in-Progress period. F = Finished goods storage period. D = Debtors collection period C = Credit payment period. The various components of operating cycle may be calculated as: Raw Material material day Work-in Progress holding period = Finished goods storage period Debtors collection period Credit payment period = = = Average W-I-P inventory Average cost of production per day Average stock of finished goods Average cost of goods sold per day Average book debts Average sales per day Average trade creditors Average purchase per day = Average stock of raw Average cost of production per

Findings:

ANALYSIS OF FINDINGS OF VARIOUS CALCULATIONS:-

1) Assessments of Working Capital:Since, the Working Capital of RSWM Banswara is increasing every year but the Current Assets & Current Liabilities are decreasing from the last year, these is due to following reasons: In Current Assets, Inventory & Loans & Advances are increases from the last years. But Other Current Assets & Cash & Bank balance is decreases, specially there is a drastically change in Cash & Bank Balance. If we see the figures of Cash & Bank in Balance-Sheet, we can find that there is increase in Cash in hand & Saving a/c of the company, but decrease in fixed deposits of the firm in 2006-2007 from Rs. 70.40 lakhs to Rs. 7.12 Lakhs. All these Cash are invested in the Fixed Assets or Inventory of the firm and this is happening every year. This shows that company is running at the high risk. So company should increase its cash & bank balance for good liquidity. Current Liabilities was also decreased from 5669.41 to 4643.34 in 2006-2007, this is due to the no provision made in the year 20062007 & also the low Working Capital loans.

If we see the changes we find that Current Assets & Current Liabilities of 2005-2006 is increased from 2004-2005. Such a volatility in current assets & current liabilities indicates poor working capital management of the company and it must be controlled, other wise it must be harmful in future for the company.

80

2) Ratio Analysis: Current Ratio measures short term solvency of the company. Current Ratio of 2006-07 is more when compared to 2005-2006 and equal to its ideal ratio i.e. 2:1, which clearly indicates that is good for firms ability to meet current obligation. Cash Ratio is decreases due to the less bank balance of the company in every year. These is not a good indication for the company is future & provides the high risk for company. Increase in inventory turnover and decrease in debtors turnover ratio is due to sluggishness in the market. Average collection period is increase year by year. Company should try to reduce the collection period days to utilize its working capital operating cycle. Working capital turnover Ratio is increasing which shows that working capital is more active i.e. it is supportive, comparatively higher level of production sales is present. Assets turnover ratios are showing improvement in the year under review, which reflects management efficiency. Structural ratios need attention, current assets to total assets has reduced. Cash to current assets is also reduced year by year, which can be harmful for the liquidity position of the firm and working capital requirement. There is also increase in receivables and inventory level.

81

(6) SWOT ANALYSIS:-

STRENGTH: Demand of blended yarn will increase as the production of cotton is (limited attraction of PV is replacing cotton, great share in exports one of the biggest earners). Won SRTEPC highest export award for PV yarn exports it was also accorded golden trading house status. Experienced & enthusiastic marketing team. Strong sales depots & marketing offices at Mumbai, Delhi, Bhilwara, Ludhiana, Ahemadabad. Brand Reputation Global Marketing LNJ Bhilwara group is famous in textiles in all over the world. Well-equipped R&D SQC lab. Modern machinery with latest techniques. Not depended for power & water RSWM Banswara has its own power generation plant & presently there are about 20000 surplus units of power is available. The daily requirement of power for weaving project is only 93111 units per day. storage capacity. Wide product range & flexibility in production according to requirement of market. RSWM Banswara manufacturers various type of yarn of different counts & blends. All the units are connected through V-SAT Gulabpura, Mumbai, Delhi, and Indore & Rishabdev. The company has a great share in exports, one of the biggest earners. Quality conscious approach as per ISO product & TQM gulabpura unit was the first India composite textile unit to be certified with ISO 9002 Water is also available in plenty at companys own campus & presently company has adequate water

82

1st September 1993, ISO certificate is necessary to penetrate in the export market specially in the European in US market.

WEAKNESS: Banswara is not connected through railway line & condition of roads is also poor so there is an infrastructure problem. Skill labour is not available at Banswara. Purchase Raw Material from one typed of organization only.

OPPORTUNITIES: After starting weaving project, Rajasthan spinning & weaving mills Ltd. Banswara may further go for forward integration in garments sector, as people in domestic market are gradually moving towards ready-made garments. To develop & improve working environment of processing by using Eco-Friendly methods. The company can rush into retail business. Strategic alliances: Tie-ups with global manufacturers & brands for technology & market. Tilt towards ready-made. India can become a major player in the textile export market at a global market at a global level given the declining share of south-east Asian countries in this niche market & rising wages in ASEAN region, wiping out their competitive edge. RSWM may be innovating new product using different types of yarn & fiber like lyre & tennel.

83

Increased export demand is expected from planning out of capacities in developed world. Efficiency can increase with the help of IT & ERP. Post-MFA as on January-1, 2005, the world trade in textile & clothing will be fully liberalized. It can capture a large market share if it provides quality product as reasonable price. Market share of India is world trade of textile is only 2.8% therefore, another advantage that India could have is that for countries which are not the member of WTO, imposing countries will have obligation to proceed with removal of quota restriction. This is especially important with respect to China, Taiwan, who accounts for 32% of world trade in textile, but are still not a member of WTO.

THREATS: Today textile industry is planning through in unpredicted recession. The reason for that is supply is more than demand. Cheap imports textiles from China, that is increasing free trade & competition. Removal of quotas after 2005. Changing trend in textile industry, changing requirement as people now preferring ready-made garments. Polyester Viscose is a substitute of cotton & is made from wood pulp & its supply is also limited.

84

85

(8) RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTION:Improved co-ordination: Better co-ordination among purchase, production, marketing finance department and effective communication will help in achieving greater efficiency in working capital management. Prompt payment by customers: Prompt payment by customers can be ensured by prompt billing. What the customers has to pay and the period of payment should be notified accurately and in advance. The use of mechanical device for billing along with the enclosure of a self-addressed return envelope will speed up the payment by customers. Efficient inventory production management: Another strategy is to increase the inventory turnover, avoiding stockouts, Le., and shortage of stock. This can be done in the following way: Increasing the raw materials turnover. Decreasing the production cycle. Increasing the finished goods turnover. Discounting policy should be liberalized by giving more cash discount to the customers. Adopting of changing nouns: Company should benchmark with global competitors and should use ideas like Just-in-Time (JIT) to improve inn~ntoll11 management. And 14 Sigma would prove to be more effective in improving quality and 100% defects free finished products. Concentration Banking would help to speed up the cash collection. Active disposal of obsolete, surplus inventories: Efforts should be made to dispose obsolete and surplus inventories at reasonable and profitable price under a buy back arrangement with suppliers to avoid cost of charging it to profit & loss A/c.

To increase the cash:

86

RSWM Banswara, should increase the cash level to reduce the risk of it in future, if company has low cash it is difficult to work in future for more effectively. Since the cash ratio is decreasing year by year. (9)
