Costs, Operational Performance and Yarn Quality (CPQ):

Inter-mill Study on Key Factors 

This unique study on inter-mill comparison of key parameters which affect cost of production, productivity and profit of spinning mills, is being conducted by SITRA regularly since 1997.  Infact the CPQ study has become one of the key services being offered to mills by SITRA.  So far 23 studies have been completed (@2 per year).  The response for these studies is overwhelming with around 150 mills participating in each study. The study covers more than 50 key parameters which include yarn sale value, raw material cost, net out-put value, power cost, salaries and wages cost, power consumption, labour and machine productivity, yarn realisation and quality, product diversification, etc.

The study reports are found to be extremely useful to mills based on which a number of measures have been initiated by them to reduce costs, realise higher yarn selling price and change the product-mix in order to maximise profits.

After each study, one hard copy of a comprehensive report comparing the figures for all the mills and one CD-ROM containing data base-supported queries are provided to the participant mills.
