Achievements
 During my job in Sapphire Fibres Ltd. (Dyeing) I’ve learned

the use of machines by automatic system by the best use of

Orgatex (Machine controlling soft ware). I’ve designed
different processes for dyeing, bleaching and washing by the
implementation of that not only time of processing is reduced
but utilities consumption has also been reduced. As a result
total processing cost and time is reduced and production
increased. By the increase in production we have reduced
overhead cost also.
 I’ve also actively contributed in installation of new dyeing

machines in Sapphire Fibers Ltd. (Dyeing) and there start up.

 I’ve good command on computers and automated systems. I

can make best use of automated systems in efficient way.

During my job in Sapphire Fibres Ltd. (Dyeing) I’ve used
Thies machine controllers 737 XL and 737 and I know to
program these controllers very well. More over I am very
well aware of different computer soft wares and can make of
their efficient use.
 I’ve successfully completed different trainings like inter
departmental communication training and operational
training designed by human resource department. Also I’ve
 completed ISO certification training and WRAP certification
training in Sapphire Fibres Ltd. (Dyeing).
 I’ve attended training workshop on Six Sigma arranged by
NPO and PNAC (Pakistan National Accreditation Council) in
LCCI
 I’ve successfully completed my one month ISO-9000 training
course offered by Punjab University.
 I’ve analyzed our recipes in Sapphire Dyeing and reduced
consumption of chemicals to save processing cost or in other
words to increase profit. I’ve worked for machine
modifications. We changed different functions and hardware
of Thies high pressure machines to get maximum benefit
from our machines. We also made software modifications in
Thies’ PLC 737 and 737-XL. After making these modifications
we are now getting better results from our machines and
control is also improved. Automation level is also increased
by these modification
 In Sadaqat Corporation, I’ve rectified out of order
controllers and run dyeing machines through PLC. Total of
eight controllers were out of order. I’ve got them rectified
and saved about 800000 rupees. I’ve tested all machines and
rectify their problems regarding electronics and software in
coordination with respective technicians. I am developing

textile testing equipments to fulfill emerging requirements of
modern textile industry. This lab is equipped with high
temperature computerized dyeing machines. 60 bottles
dispenser. Full automatic washing machine. Tumble dryer,
pilling tester, crock meter, light fastness tester,
spectrophotometer etc. now we are able to develop new
shades in disperse, reactive, vat and direct dyes for fabric
and yarn. We can test different quality parameters in-house
like GSM, washing fastness to water, perspiration acidic and
alkaline, light fastness, stretch of spandex fabrics, strength of
fabrics, shrinkage and spirality of fabric and garments etc.
