Abstract

Artistic Milliners is the name of Pakistan's rising textile industry. They started their journey about half a century ago, and now Artistic Milliners have become one of the leading manufacturers and the biggest exporter of household textiles and clothing. Artistic Milliners are most concerned with evaluating the new and unique methods of warehouse management processes. The best aspect of this study is that the essential purpose is to study the old and conventional methods in the field and to fulfil new times. The most challenging job of all these workers, who don't want to adjust, is to create and enforce the techniques. My research project aims to research and apply modernized methods in warehousing management in the current practice of Artistic Milliners. Fundamentally, research is focused on quantitative analysis to recognize the impacts of study variables. The consistency and methodology of the analysis are based on a single case study. Sampling methods are used based on a probabilistic process. All data was obtained from primary sources, and Artistic Milliner's officials collected organized interviews. The finding concludes that Artistic Milliners must implement the new developments for a warehouse management system with the ability to incorporate and develop the production. It will train downstream and upstream workers to boost performance.
