INTERNSHIP REPORT ON NEXT ACCESSORIES LTD. Shawghat, Bhulta, Rupganj, Narayan...S M Khorshed Alam
The Ready Made Garments (RMG) industries has been provided the single source of growth in Bangladesh's rapidly developing economy. Exports of textiles and garments are the principal source of foreign exchange earnings. As of 2017 Bangladesh held the 2nd place in producing garments just after China.
Garments Accessories and Packaging (GAP) sector is acting as a backward linkage industry of RMG. Now almost all requirements of garments accessories & packaging of readymade garments & other export-oriented industries are being met up locally which is about 95%.
NEXT Accessories Ltd is one of the renowned garments label manufacturing companies in Bangladesh. It is a locally owned Private Limited Company which was established in 2005 under the Companies Act-1994. Next Accessories Ltd. is situated in the industrial and commercial hub of Bhulta, Rupganj of Narayanganj district.
Next Accessories is on the pinnacle of Green production with an impressive one-stop-shop production facility serving apparel identification solution, print and packaging industry. A LEED Gold Certified Green plant, constructed according to United States Green Building Council’s (USGBC) criteria, the beautiful facility utilizes state of the art technologies to be at the forefront of Eco-friendly production. NEXT focus on R&D and the use of cutting edge technologies ensure competitiveness and enable us to meet or often exceed the requirements of an ever-evolving global market. Next Accessories Ltd. is the nominated Label and Paper printing & packaging supplier of the leading global apparel brands like H&M, M&S, Decathlon, Varner Group, Tchibo, PVH, The Just Group, Next sourcing, Etam etc.
In my 3(Three) months long Internship, I have studied on six areas which are 1. Textile Production Management, 2. Human Resource Management, 3. Compliance and CSR, 4. Quality Management, 5. Supply Chain Management, and 6. Finance and Accounting of Next Accessories Ltd. along with SWOT analysis for each area. After SWOT analysis of six important areas, I have figured out some Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of Next Accessories Ltd. and some recommendations have been given to overcome their problems as well as keeping sustainability and growth of business.
Finally, I have concluded with saying that Next Accessories Ltd. will get more orders and more nominations from new buyers in future due to having USGBC LEED Gold certified factory, 100% compliance, world class machineries, skilled manpower and high-quality products.

Warp knitting and crochet machines are used to produce a huge range of warp knitted fabrics (warp knits) for clothing, household textiles and technical textiles. Warp knitting machines are either single needle bar machines or double needlebar machines and are available in a wide range of gauges and widths, Modern machines are electronically controlled in terms of patterning, beam let-off and fabric take-up.

What is lap?
Loops are termed as laps in warp knitting because warp guide laps their yarn around the needle in order to formed the loops structure.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
what is the best method to sell pi coins in 2024DOT TECH
The best way to sell your pi coins safely is trading with an exchange..but since pi is not launched in any exchange, and second option is through a VERIFIED pi merchant.
