Why India has Advantage
The Indian economy has primarily been an agriculture-driven economy. The vast stretches of land, resources and climatic conditions aid the production of varied raw materials for different industrial purposes. Historically, India has been known for its high-quality cotton, jute and other natural fibre. Over the years, however, the domestic industry has progressed and diversified into many types of fibre and yarn, both natural and man-made. The textile industry in India includes almost all types of textile fibres – natural fibres such as cotton, jute, silk and wool; synthetic / man-made fibres such as polyester, viscose, nylon, acrylic and polypropylene (PP) and multiple blends of such fibres and filament yarns such as partiallyoriented yarn (POY). The type of yarn used is dictated by the end product that is manufactured.
Recruitment Challenges
As there are many type spinning method are available hence as mentioned earlier that it is impossible for a person to be an expertise in all kind of spinning methods. Hence availability getting right professional for spinning mill is very scarce. The most commonly used are Airjet , Ring frame and Jacquard looms. Hence mostly in recruitment Industry we easy to find experts for technology which commonly used but it becomes challenge for other types of spinning mills which use different technology spinning for manufactures of different textile products such as machine woven carpets.

More than 3 technology of spinning expert it is very rare to find one professional. Most common question are asked while selecting an right spinning experts
- How do you control raw material waste in the department
- How do you meet the target efficiency of the machine and production
- What loom efficiency you achieved as per your past experience
- How do you control the loss production
- What is path definition
- What do know about weave structure, and how it is been selected.
- What is the function of a jacquard and how it works
- What are the type of jacquard you know
- How to calculate production from loom reading
- How you can run a loom efficiently
- What is weaver efficiency
Conclusion
Identifying a right spinning professional is highly technical and hence it necessary for any person from recruitment industry or an HR professional needs to understand the requirement very well and should be aware of basic technical terms used in Spinning industry.
