electricity. So the Crescent Textile Mills has the power of these sources as compared to other
textile industries.
9.4 Customer analysis
In simple words Customer analysis is a critical section of a company’s business plane or
marketing plane. It identifies target customers, ascertains the needs of these customers, and
then specifies how the products satisfies these needs.
As we know that Crescent textiles is working as a export and for that regards the company

then analyse the demand of the customers and have to get complete knowledge about the

9.7 Marketing Strategies ofCTM
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 premium
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 premium offered.
10. SWOT Analysis Of Crestex
10.1 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
40. | page The CrescentTextile MillsLimited
35
10.2 Weaknesses
Crescent Textile Mills has ignored the local market
Transit time for international market is comparatively long as compared to India and
China.
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 gets late due to lack of production planning
Middle level management is demotivated 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
10.3 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.
10.4 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.
41. | page The CrescentTextile MillsLimited
36
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.
11.Conclusions
We got a lot of experience from Crescent Textile Mills. During our internship we came to
know that how the different activities take place, what are the procedures. The Crescent
Textile Mills is on the way of progress. 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. The performance of the Human Resource
department is also not satisfactory.
Crescent Textile Mill’s product (yarn & cloth) is of high quality. The demand of Crescent
Textile Mill’s products is increasing with the passage of time. The company should expand
its capacity as soon as possible to satisfy the demands of their customers.
12.Recommendations
A proper training should be given to the employees and the workers to enhance their
skills to increase their productivity and same of the company.
The management members should make market survey time to time to get the latest
information about the market factors like the price, demand and current consumer trends
etc.
As the world has become a global village, the management should have the latest
knowledge and information,s about the world because now a little change in any corner
of the world can effect the business.
42. | page The CrescentTextile MillsLimited
37
The top management should give the autonomy and the flexibility to every manage to
make decisions according to the situation at any time and in the absence of the top
managers.
All the duties and responsibilities of the employees and the workers should be clearly
defined.
The computer technology should also be used in decision making as well as in storing
and feeding the data.
Crestex should adopt an efficient appraisal system and give rewards to the employees
who have done well.
The management should recruit right person for the right job.
The management should be able to assess the problems before it’s occurring so that they
are able to find the ways of their solution.
The management should hire multi-skilled workers to get economy of scale.
The company should emphasize on its personnel department immediately on emergency
basis.
Long-term solvency is good but time interest ratio should also be improved.
There should be decentralized in decision also be improved.
There effective relationship and coordination between the departments must be there.
It should be realized to be very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of each
strategy to take effective decision about its continuity to make an effective strategy
implementation.
Crescent Textile Mills should also introduce its brands in local markets.
