      Jan 2010 - Dec 2010
      Assistant Spinning Manager

      As an Assistant Spinning Manager at Nishat Chunian Group in Pakistan, I played a pivotal role in ensuring quality control across the entire spinning process. From blow room through carding, drawing, combing, roving, ring spinning to winding, I meticulously oversaw each step in the production of both cotton and PC blended yarns. Operating within a composite unit, my responsibilities extended to troubleshooting and addressing challenges in the weaving operations of the weaving unit. Thriving in this dynamic environment, I contributed to the seamless production of high-quality yarns and the overall success of the organization.#TextileManagement #QualityControl #SpinningOperations Show less
