MANAGERIAL & MARKETING STRATEGIES OF CTM Managerial Strategy Of C T M As it‟s major competitors are in the country as well as in the foreign markets, while concerning with the countrywide competitors, there are major competitors like Nishat Textile Mills Limited, Kohinoor, Gul Ahmed,M.Farooq, Chenabtextile mills limited, A.M textile mills limited along with major competitors in European market. There is strictly needed a strategic focus to face the present intense competitive situation. The market for textile products is becoming more competitive every year. The customers are emphasizing on quality over all other thing and can easily search the most cost-effective supplier anywhere in the world. Keeping this in mind, Crescent Textile Mill‟s focus has been on meeting its customer‟s demands and requirements, improving its competitiveness, increasing productivity, and enhancing its existing quality control systems. So it has emphasized on the implementation of the developed strategies. Every element of cost and quality is continually scrutinized and measured according to worldwide standards. Each unit is independently analyzed as a cost center to make cuts wherever and wherever possible. The Quality Assurance department has been further strengthened with the addition of trained staff and state-of- the –art equipment. Marketing strategy of C T M Although it may be the duty of the government to ensure availability of cotton at a reasonable price, it is the exclusive responsibility of Crescent Textile Mills to

implement the total quality management concept. If units are able to minimize wastage, optimize cost of production, improve quality standards, ensure product diversification and learn to market the finished products, no country can compete with Pakistan. Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Bangladesh are the large manufacturers and exporters of value added textile products, but are dependent on Pakistan and other countries for their requirements of cotton, cotton yarn and fabric. Their edge is in finishing good quality fabric; producing attractively designed garments maintaining quality standards and abide by delivery commitments. These countries also follow different marketing strategies, while the Pakistani manufacturers first produce a product and then try to locate a customer; other countries produce what the importers demand. Not only this, buyers are often willing to pay a for odd specifications, short delivery time or immediate commencement of shipments of small lots, extra care in meeting specification and better quality standards, using better quality package which may not cost as much as the offered. Lately, the manufacturers of yarn having pragmatic thinking and realizing the tough completion have started producing dyed cones. They have not only tabbed a new market segment but also get better return. Isn‟t it not innovative marketing? Crescent Textile Mills have to realize the harsh reality that the days of cheap domestic cotton are over, the import of textile products is being gradually open and quota regime will be phased out gradually.

Strengths Crescent Textile Mills is using imported machinery It has a strong market image The customer is aware of the name of the company It has high financial resources It has competent staff working for the progress of the company It has automated system of production Organization has friendly environment It has certificate of ISO 9002 It has a wide range of products It always sets new standards for quality

Its design studio is equipped with latest technology. It has given a large quota for exports in USA and Europe Weaknesses Crescent Textile Mills has ignored than local market Transit time for international market is comparatively long as compared to India and China. There is lack of proper training programs especially for workers. They learn through experience and from seniors that‟s the reason o f high rate of wastage during production. Wastage is very high especially in spinning sector Crescent Textile Mills has no proper sale system for cotton waste and yarn waste. Some time delivery lates due to lack of production planning Middle level management is de motivated due to low salary package and promotions are held after a long period There is no job commitment among the employees. There is no proper criteria for performance appraisal that‟s why staff in not motivated No measures has been taken to motivate the employees Opportunities As Crescent Textile Mills is ISO-9002 certified company so it has a chance to increase & expand business all over the world. The demand of its products is high in international market Govt is providing rebate facility Long term loans are easily available Company can expand its operations easily Anti dumping duties in European market are overdrawn, so the chance is to increase the export as compared to last years. Devaluation of rupee made Pakistani export more acceptable to the foreign buyers. There is a chance to compete better now.

Govt‟s pre import-export policy for cotton is also in favor of Crescent Textile Mills. Threats Foreign investment in textile sector in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India is a danger in future for Crescent Textile Mills It has been seen that many other groups in Pakistan have entered in competition with Crescent Textile Mills. If they will not be competed well, there is a chance that they can get share of export from foreign buyers. South Africa is thinking about to impose the anti-dumping duties on Pakistan textile exports. If it is imposed, a reasonable export share and big market may be lost. There is no proper attention towards Russian market. Crescent Textile Mills can get big orders from Russia. If attention will not be given towards this side there is a chance that any other competitor can introduce its products in Russia and this market can be lost. High inflation rates hinder in competing the Indian yarn at international level. Fluctuating prices of dollar also affect the purchase of cotton in off-season. Due to economic crises of eastern countries, so many sales lost during last few years, but now these countries are again on the road of progress. If the previous customers are not properly attended, they may be last forever. Due to military Govt in Pakistan, there is a chance for Pakistan to be declared as a terror country. So this thing is also a threat for Crescent Textile Mills. Competitor analysis The business environment of Crescent Textile Mills is facing tough competition. Its major competitors are also inside the country as well as in the foreign markets. While concerning with the countrywide competitors, there are major competitors like NishatTextile Mills and there are also other major competitors in the European markets. The market for textile product is becoming more competitive every year. The customer is emphasizing on quality over all other things and can easily search the

most cost effective supplier anywhere in the world. Keeping this in view, Crescent Textile Mills focus has been on meeting its customer‟s demands and requirements, improving its competitiveness, increasing productivity and enhancing its existing quality control systems.

Following are some findings of our report: There are no motivating factors for the employees Companies personal policies are not good The performance appraisal are not carried regularly Company is facing the main problem of textile industry crises in the country due to floods, leaf curl virus etc. The company is unable to use its full plant capacity, which shows that technical staff is not up to the standards The employees are not much aware of latest available computer programs The management is not doing anything for the purpose of satisfying and motivating their employees and the workers, which may lead towards the more productivity. Changing Govt policies are providing problems for the company exports policies. The short-term solvency and long term solvency of the company is better and still acceptable, because there is still a margin of getting long-term loan. The net profit margin in increasing since 1995 but it decreased in 1999.

It has been earning profit for the last five years. The management is professionally qualified and experienced. The Crescent Textile Mills should motivate their employees by providing different incentives. Their salary package is also not attractive.
