[Audio] Slide One: Introduction of ALKARAM
Our journey began in 1986 when Alkaram Textile Mills was established to provide innovative textile solutions globally. Over the years, Alkaram Textile Mills has emerged as one of Pakistan's leading textile manufacturing and exporting companies, with a global presence in the US, UK, France, and Portugal. For more than 35 years, Alkaram has consistently developed its reputation and distinctive image across an expanding range of products, brands, and international markets. Today, Alkaram Textile Mills stands as the largest vertically integrated textile setup in Pakistan.
Building upon the global identity of Alkaram Textile Mills, Alkaram Studio was introduced in 2010 to showcase the depth, diversity, and creativity of our product portfolio. From fashion fabrics and apparel for men, women, and children to home textiles and decor, Alkaram Studio is the ultimate destination for the modern, aesthetically-inclined individual seeking style not only for themselves but also for their family and home.
Our global reach, extensive product offerings, and multichannel distribution make us a unique player in the global textile industry and a cornerstone of Pakistan's textile sector..

[Audio] Slide Two: ALKARAM Digitalization Journey
In 2019, Alkaram embarked on a transformative digital journey, initiating the implementation of a comprehensive digital data processing and management system for all our company's activities and processes. In the first phase, we selected a Tier 1 ERP solution, Oracle EBS, as the central platform for data activities and storage across the organization.
Initially, we focused on the following modules:
Oracle Financials
Oracle Supply Chain
Oracle Order Management
Oracle Inventory
Later on, we add in house developed modules (custom modules) integrated with Oracle EBS
During that we also integrate all already available out of shelf software's which were using for industrial automation Loom Data System – Weaving looms online monitoring system
Ring monitoring system – Spinning ring production monitoring system
SCADA -- Processing water, air pressures etc. usage monitoring system
Currently we add Microsoft Power BI for top management report for high end data visibility and decision making..

SMART Factory – complete process digitalization "Smart factory is a manufacturing facility where intelligent , efficient and responsive operations are ensured through data driven applications and systems." It is an integration of various technologies and solutions which can communicate and respond in real time to meet the change in demand and to ensure overall efficiency to " the serve the customer better". Master Data – Cleansing & Re-Structuring
Product Development Module – Covering Bill of Materials and Process Routing Centralized Material Resource and production planning module Work in process – digitalization with wastages automation
Material movements through barcodes and RFID's End to End quality modules digitalization
Transparency and Traceability - the final goal of ALAKRAM is to implement a digital system which is completely transparent at any stage and traceable with every stage of finish goods manufacturing processes.

[Audio] Correct master data is the key part of any system based transactions, currently we are doing item cleansing and item re-structuring all existing master data items. And try to control them with LOV based data sets.. 

Scene 4

Master Data Cleansing & Re-Structuring  Roll out

Data Cleansing process and execution Good data quality is not only about setting proper rules, KPIs and governance. It takes a lot of effort both to establish right environment and also to transform already existing data according to established rules and policies. These are necessary activities in order to have a proper view on the progress of implemented solutions and right trends on KPIs.
