The foundation of a successful company in the garment industry is found in its technical staff.  Even though they are in a supervisory position, basic control of the raw materials, men, machinery procurement and policy making is controlled by the top management.  Yet, it is usually the technical staff who is blamed for the company's failures and losses by the management without taking into account what they are doing to educate and train the staff to make them efficient and effective supervisors.  Training and development of technical staff in the textile industry explains various aspects of management related to working on the shop floor by supervisory staff.  Chapters explain the role, responsibilities and requirements of supervisors and the challenges they face, various leadership styles, team building, tools for decision making and steps for problem solving and includes examples of normal problems that occur in a textile company.
