The Heirloom Group production
line is totally vertical. From
the greige fabric stage, the
team takes over and starts the
process. From dying of solids,
to prints and finally making
yarn dyes the production is
all in its associated factories.
Due to the major quality constraints
in the handicraft business,
the Group has taken up the challenge
of doing al the steps under
its supervision and control.
This way there is Total Quality
Management (TQM) at all our
plants. This is the reason that
what the Group commits it sure
does deliver at all times.
The industry is mainly hand
work and it employees on contract
a number of hands that can cover
up the production needs of the
company.
Besides being a handicraft
business, the level of machinery
for the final finishing of the
merchandise is also very vast.
As per the WTO the quota systems
are coming to an end in a few
years, the Group is committed
on staying at the top ! Due
to this reason there is major
investments in our assets, which
will give the Group an edge
over its competitors both within
the country and in the international
market.
The main plant is equipped
with the latest machines that
enable the Group to turn out
an International Quality product.
The investments in the assets
washing lines, hydro lines,
tumble drying lines, steam pressing
lines and a state of the art
"Drying Chamber" which is one
of the best in the world in
the trade.
Quality Assurance is
the major step that is taken
in the main plant. Every stage
of there is a strict QA Control
Policy that is followed right
from the supervising level to
the final person carrying out
the same. The Group is working
towards getting the ISO Certification
in time to come. This is not
just a certificate from an agency
to certify our plants, but we
will use the preparatory steps
in attaining the standards that
are prevalent in the International
Community.
As mentioned earlier we take
over from the raw fabrics stage,
then once the fabrics are ready
as per specifications set up,
the cutting and production planning
starts. Designs are cut and
ready to be issued to our army
of Vendors. We have contracted
vendors who are committed to
working with HCPL. The products
are checked at every stage and
are taken from step to step
in the production process.
Due to the vast area that is
covered by Heirloom Collections,
the Group has felt that need
of setting up its own Logistics
Department, which enables the
movement of the merchandise
from our various locations that
are spread over a radius of
450 kms.
The merchandise at any stage
does not leave the 'drag net'
of Heirloom Collections ! There
are watchful eyes at every stage
and center we have in our fold.
The teams are located at the
centers to take care all the
QA issues that might be there
and to assist the Group in smooth
functioning at all times.
