DESCRIPTION
ABSTRACT:
This case is about a 40 year old textile mill in Faisalabad that was in the process of expanding its weaving capacity. The choice of technology was between projectile looms (the company had been operating them successfully for two years) or airjet looms. Airjet looms were a recent development in Pakistan and there were four different brands available in the market.
