CHAPTER– IVGARMENT WASHING

of 172

General discussion on Garment washing

In line with ever changing human behaviors and longing to be unique in outlook, mankind

dress themselves in fashionable as well as comfortable garments. To be or get unique in out-

look garment washing is very convenient way. This is a wing of garment wet processing

technology.

This is the textile technology by which a unique appearance along the seam, size, comfort

ability &. Fashion etc. Properties are changed of a solid or multi colored or printed garment.

Fabric of the garment may be dyed with reactive dye, direct dye, Sulpher dye, acid dye,

basic dye, pigment and even metal complex dye and printed with pigment, direct dye,

reactive dye etc.

Object for garment washing:

These are the main objectives for garments wash-

• To develop softness in garment: Size materials in fabric are removed by washing &

there is also advantage to add softener. Drape ability also increased.

• To introduce unique appearance: washing that introduces fading effects along with

the seam on the garments by washing out dyes or pigments in the garments.

• To create new fashion: Washing process of garments bring different out looks

(faded, color tinted, old look etc.) of garment that is used for creating new fashion.

• Special type of finishes are also possible such as wrinkle, wrinkle free, soil retardant

finish etc.

• To satisfy the customer: As shrinkage occurs so customer can wear it just after pur-

chasing/buying.

Advantages or garment washing:

• Starch or size materials, which are applied during fabric production especially in case

of woven fabric are removed by wash as a result the garment become soft and hence

the drape ability and comfort ability increased significantly.

of 172

• Softness could be increased by addition of softeners by doing soft finish or applying

the softener at the end of washing process.

• Dirt's, impurities, germs etc. Obviously will be added in the garment during its man-

ufacturing^ arc removed due to washing because a variety of chemicals are used

such as detergent, bleaching agents etc.

• Due to washing, maximum shrinkage occurs; hence there is the zero possibility of

further shrinkage. As a result there is no size or fitting problem in washed garments.

• Faded effect and a variety of stylish effects produced by different washing tech-

niques. Nowadays these faded and stylish effects are accepted as a new fashion for

fashion world.

• Similar outlook and effect could be produced by different washing techniques or by

different process. As a result there is a great scope of implementation of brilliances

of technicians. Every machine of a garment washing factory can be used for multi-

purpose for this reason total project cost is comparatively lower where as washing

add a handsome value to the garments.

Limitation of Garment washing:Garments Size Change:

This change takes place due to shrinkage properties of the fabric. The amount of

shrinkage properties of fabric determines the amount of size changing of the gar-

ments.

Size materials and finishing partly removed:

Different types of washing are done with different types of chemicals and process,

which are responsible for the removal of size materials and finishing from the fabric.

Color is partly removed:

Unfixed dyes may remain on the garment after dyeing. This un-fixed dye will be

subsequently removed due to washing. Thus color is partly removed.

of 172

The change occure by the following action during washing:

1. Mechanical/Rubbing/Abrade action with

a. Garment-to-garment: In case of compact fabric it is more.

b. Garment to machine: In this case the degree of abrasion mainly depends on the machine

surface. The machine inner drum is perforated and the edges of each perforation create the ab-

rasion with garments during processing. The degree of this abrasion is more than the abrasion

of Garment-to-garment.

2. Chemical Action: A wide range of chemicals is used in different types of washing and

each chemical provide its action as its character. We will know and understand of the actions

of different types of chemical from the discussions about different types of wash. In case of

above mentioned mechanical actions liquor ratio and machine rotation i.e. rpm also influence

the degree of abrasion.

There Are Different types Garments washing in our country:Normal wash/Garment wash/Rinse wash /Soft wash,

Pigment wash,

Silicon wash,

Bleach wash.

Caustic wash,

Acid wash,

Enzyme wash,

Stone wash,

Enzyme washes with stone,

Supper white wash,

Wash & over dyeing,

Wash & Tinting, & Over all wrinkles.

Basic machineries of a washing plant:

Garments washing m/c for sample,

Garments washing m/c for bulk,

Hydro extractor,

of 172

Tumble Dryer:

i) Gas dryer,

ii) Steam dryer.

Normal wash

It is the easiest, shortest and cheapest process as a result it is most popular wash.

Size material is removed partially.

Dust, dirt, oil spot, impurities etc. are removed that may come from during process i.e.

cutting, stitching and the back process.

With the addition of softener the softness of the garments can be improved as well as

drape ability

All types of garment can be washed. Such as: woven and knit garments.

No significant fading effect can be achieved. But increasing processing time and de-

creasing the liquor ratio we can pronounce the wash effect.

Note: White garments should be soften with non-ionic softener and dried in the steam dryer.

Otherwise a reddish tone will appear.

How to solve Back-staining Problem during Normal Wash

We have to follow the bellow sequences:

Trial a sample batch (If back-staining occur)

Wash another sample batch with anti back-staining chemicals. (If back-staining occur)

Wash another sample batch without detergent (If back-staining occure)

Wash another sample batch without temperature (If back-staining occure)

Wash another sample batch without detergent & temperature and with anti back- staining

agent after fixing with fixing chemicals (If back-staining occure).

Stop washing and inform customer.

Process:

Suppose a lot size of 100 kg garments:

1. Load the garment in washing m/c 100kg of garment

2. Add water at 1:5 liquor ratio 5001t

3. Start m/c running Speed 15/12 rpm

4. Add detergent to the liquor 0.3-1% i.e. 0.30-1kg

5. Supply steam to raise temp. 40 c to 60 c

of 172

6. If back staining is occur then use anti back staining chemicals to minimize such kind of

problem 1-2% i.e. 1.0-2.0 kg

7. Run the process 5-20 min

8. Drop the liquor

9. Hot wash with minimum liquor 1:3 i.e. 300 lt (its temp 40-60c)


11. Add softener to the liquor 0.1 to 0.5% i.e. 100 gm to 500 gm

12. If back staining & bleeding then use anti back staining & fixing chemical

Anti back 1 -2% i.e. 1 -2 kg,

Fixing agent 0.5-1 % i.e. 0.5-1 kg

13. Supply steam to raise temp As required (40c to 60c)

14. Continue the process for 2-15 min

15. Drop the liquor

16. Unload the garment

17. Hydro extracts the garment.

18. Dry it in a tumble dryer.

Pigment Wash

It is also easiest, shortest and cheapest process as a result it is most popular wash like as nor-

mal wash.

• Pigment dyed/Pigment printed fabric used for making garment can be pigment washed.

• Size material is removed partially

• Dust, dirt, oil spot, impurities etc. are removed that may come from during process i.e.

cutting, stitching and the back process.

• With the addition of softener the softness of the garments can be improved as well as

drape ability. But as pigments harden the printed or dyed surface softener need more in

compare with normal wash.

• All types of garment can be washed. Such as: woven knit garments.

• Significant fading effect can be achieved. But we can achieve more wash effect by in-

creasing processing time and decreasing the liquor ratio.

Note: white garments should be soften with non-ionic softener and dried in the steam

dryer. Otherwise a reddish tone will appear.

of 172

Process:

The process is very similar to normal wash. But it always varies company to company

and on desired wash effect. Suppose a lot size of 100kg garments:

1. Load the garment in washing m/c 100kg of garment



4. Add detergent to the liquor 0.3-1% i.e. l kg

5. Add Caustic soda (if required) 0.5-1.0gm/ lt i.e. 50-100gm

6. Add Soda Ash (if required) 0.5-1.0 gm/lt i.e. 50-100 gm.

7. Supply steam to raise temp. 40 c to 60 c

8. If back staining is occur then use anti back staining chemicals to minimize it 1-2%

i.e. l-2kg

9. Run the process 5-20 min

10. Drop the liquor

11. Hot wash with minimum liquor 1:3 i.e. 3001t (its temp 40-60c)

Note: If alkali is used then a neutralization process for alkali should be done.



14. Add softener to the liquor 0.1 - 0.5% i.e. l00gm to 500gm

15. If back staining & bleeding then use anti back staining & fixing chemical

Anti back 1 -2% i .e. 2kg,

Fixing agent 0.5-1% i.e. 500gm-lkg



18. Drop the liquor


of 172

20. Hydro extracts the garment

21. Dry it in a tumble dryer.

Silicon wash

Silicon wash is generally done on all type of fabrics i.e. woven and Knit. It is easier, short-

er process like normal wash as a result it is also popular wash. Size materials are removed

by an extra process named Desizing.

i.e. cutting, stitching and the back process.

• It gives durable softness, elastic handle anti-pilling effects, dimensional stability and

tear resistance. With the addition of softener the softness of the garments can be im-

proved as well as drape ability.

• It also improves wear and easy-care properties.


• No. significant fading effect can be achieved. But increasing processing time and de-

creasing the liquor ratio we can pronounce the wash effect.

Process:

Suppose a lot size of 100kg garments:

Step 01 or Desizing:

1. Load the garment in washing m/c 100kg garment


3. Start m/c running Speed 1 5/12 rpm

4. Add amylase enzyme 1-3% 1-3 kg

5. Add detergent/anti stain to the liquor; 1% i.e. 1kg

6. Supply steam to raise temp. 60 c

7. Continue the process 20 min

8. Drop the liquor

9. Hot wash with water temp 40-50c for 5 min.

Step 02:



of 172

3. Add Silicon to the liquor 0.1 to 0.5% i.e. l00gm to 500gm

4. Add softener to the liquor 0.1 to 0.5% i.e. l00gm to 500gm



7. Drop the liquor


Step 03:

1. Hydrocxtract the garments.

2. Dry in the tumble dryer.In case of knit garments desizing step is not required but a wash for 5 minutes at room temperature is

necessary.

Caustic wash

• Caustic wash generally doing on Reactive dye, Sulpher dye, Direct dyed or printed Garments.

• If printed fabric is used for making garments then about 20-30% pigment is washed out, as a result

faded color effect is produced.

• Size material is removed partially but more then normal wash & pigment wash.

• Dust, dirt, oil spot, impurities etc. are removed that may come from during process i.e. cutting,

stitching and the back process.


• Significant fading effect can be achieved. But we can achieve more wash effect by increasing

processing time and decreasing the liquor ratio.

• To improve the color fastness & rubbing fastness.

• To increase the hairiness on garments this increases its old look appearance.

Process:

The washing procedure follows the bellow mentioned steps.

Supposed a lot size 100kg garments.

1. Load the garments in the washing m/c= 100kg garments.

2. Load the m/c with water at 1:5 liquor ratio= 500Lt water

3. Start m/c running with moderate speed= 12-15 rpm

4. Add caustic soda to the liquor 4% 4kg

7. Add H202 to the liquor 4% 4Lt

8. Add stabilizer to the liquor 2% 4Lt

9. Supply steam to raise the temp 70 c

10.Continue the process for achieving the desire shade 60-90 min

11.Drop the liquor

12.Hot wash 50c to remove all unaccepted material for 5 min

13.Drain the liquor

14.Neutralization:

a. Add water in 1: 5 Liquor ratio 500 Lt

b. Start machine running speed 12-15 rpm

c. Add acetic acid to the liquor 1 -2ml/lt 0.50- 1 Lt

d. Continue the process 5 min

e. Drop the liquor

15.Add water at 1:5 liquor ratio 500Lt

16.Run m/c running with moderate speed 12-15 rpm

18.Continue the process at 40-50c 5-10 min

19.Drop the liquor

20. Unload the garments.

21. Hydrocxtract & dry the garments with the tumble dryer.

Bleach Wash

Garments made from indigo, vat, reactive, direct etc dyed fabric can be bleach washed. It is a

decolorization process by oxidation action.

Color can be removed uniformly from the garment and removal of color done as per re-

quirement. In general there are three categories such as light bleach (where maximum color is

removed), medium bleach and bleach.

All types of garment can be washed. Such as: woven knit garments.

In case of woven fabric a pretreatment (Desizing) process is required.

Dust, dirt, oil spot, impurities etc. are removed that may come from during process i.e. cut-

ting, stitching and the back process.

Enzyme w a sh

Enzyme wash is done on garments made from denim & jeans fabric, twill fabric garments.

Sometimes knit items are also subjected for Enzyme wash

Garments made from indigo, vat, direct etc dyed fabric can be enzyme washed. Reactive

dyed garments can be washed also but wash effect not pronounced as mentioned earlier.

It produces frosty/ice effect on garment and seam abrasion across the*seam.

Enzyme works chemically not mechanically for this reason it provide less damage/wastage

then stone wash.

It improves improve the color fastness & rubbing fastness.

Enzyme improves the anti-pilling properties and decrease the hairiness hence it gives a very

smooth surface of the garments.

Process:

It follows the bellow mentioned steps. Suppose 100kg of garments in a lot size.

Step 01 or Desizing

2. Dry in the tumble dryer.

Note: Enzyme wash usually followed by bleaching; and it depends upon the lightening the gar-

ments.

Enzyme wash with stone

Enzyme wash with stone is done on garments made from denim & jeans fabric, twill fabric

garments. Sometimes items are also subjected for Enzyme wash with stone Garments made

from indigo, vat, direct etc dyed fabric can be Enzyme washed with stone. Reactive dyed

garments can be washed also but wash effect not pronounced as m e n t i on e d e a r l i e r . It

produces frostier/ice effect on garment and seam abrasion across the seam than the enzyme

wash. Enzyme works chemically and stone works mechanically for this reason it provide ef-

fect more quickly than enzyme wash.

It improves improve the color fastness & rubbing fastness. Enzyme improves the anti-pilling

properties and decrease the hairiness where as stone mechanically increase hairiness. On the

other hand this process shortens the time. For this reason enzyme and stone amount should be

used very carefully.

Process:

It follows the bellow mentioned steps. Suppose 100kg of garments in a lot size.

FOCUS ON ADTL:

Fabric store:

ADTL is the central store of the of ANANTA group. 70% of the fabrics are stored and supply

to ANANTA group from here. ADTL is totally working on denim washing. Washing is the

most important part of the readymade garments. For innovative outlook and fashion based

style that doing by washing specially on denim fabric.

Fabric store which maintained the fabric roll and its quality. There are some employees with

worker whose are working on it. First, they received the roll as per purchase order. Then it

counted by order sheet and started inspection. Main things of inspection try to find out the

fabric fault and its quality. There are different types of fault. Such as stick mark, missing

yarn, thick yarn, slub, knot, spot, and hole. Faults are detected by follow the 4 point system

and strictly follow to hold the fabric quality keep the best.

4 point system:

Up to 3 inch 1 point

3 inch to 6 inch 2 point

6 inch to 9 inch 3 point

Above 9 inch 4 point

According to the 4 point system they inspect 10% of the fabric. After counting if average no

is 28 then it is granted otherwise then 20% will be the coming in checking. At last if there is

more than 28 then inspection will be hold for the total fabric roll. 28 is the granted no of fa-

bric fault.

Fig 1: Fabric Quality Inspection Report

On the other side from each roll 22˝ cut as width wise and making blanket and then it goes to

washing section to measuring its shrinkage.

Shrinkage% = (After wash – Before wash) ÷ before wash) ×100.

After washing how much fabric shrinked from its previous size that is measuring because

when they got shrinkage result then they informed about fabric shrinking measurement. So

when a readymade garment made then the percentage of shrinkage measurement put on it be-

cause after washing the garment will be shrinked and don’t hold the actual buyer measure-

ment which will be one of the main reasons to be rejecting the order. So it is the most impor-

tant part of the checking the fabric shrinkage. Also shade will be the marked after washing.

50 cm/sq big blanket is making and send it to washing. Differences come out from the before

wash and after wash. Shade variation differences come out from that. Lot card maintain by

fabric store. In lot card keep information of different shade of each sample which is going to

be easy that what buyer choose for them what they like. Color shade marked by serial no.

There have 2 sets of sample of after wash and 3 sets of before wash sample. Then package

of 172

will be made by the before wash and after wash sample. A lot card will be also included in

the package which contains all information of that fabric samples.

Sample Development section:

Before going to bulk production of a sample that is trying to develop as per buyer require-

ment. Buyer informed different types of styles, color, shades through email, standard body or

picture. To achieve buyer requirement there have been followed different types of process.

Wet process and dry process is the main process to achieve the different types of styles and

outlook. Wet process is direct connected with washing and in dry process whisker, scraping,

laser, sand blasting, 3D, wrinkle making, grinding, tagging are followed. Sample section is

the miniature of the whole bulk production. First here trial the sample and when it confirmed

by the buyer then it goes to bulk production.

Sample section consists of:

Flow chart Of Dry Process:

of 172

Dry Process:There are different processes followed in dry process. Here try to describe most of

them:

Hand Whisker:Hand whisker is one type of process by which surface color of garments is [partially

removed according to standards with the help of scraping paper which paper is classi-

fied as 180, 220, 320, 400&600. But GAP buyer always wants that 400 and 600

scraping paper have been used. For hand whisker first of all make pattern according to

buyer design and tent put into the body and make effect on the body side.

Needed Equipment:

Dummy

Various types of scraping paper

Rubber pad for pattern

Blade

Remidities:

Pattern must be made accurately according to design.

Scraping paper must be used.

Be conscious when scraping is used then careful about the hand pressure.

3D & wrinkle:First have to do spray resin on the specific area we want to create 3D effect. Without resin

spray 3D effect is not possible.

Then it set to the dummy and make 3D effect by the help of hand of workers manually.

Three heating light is used to cure the resin and it is treated into oven for making 3D effect

permanent on the body.

Light temp is 1000 watt, it deep the resin and then it send to the curing to make wrinkle.

Fig 7: 3D Effect Making

Fig 8: Making ready to make wrinkle effect

Fig 9: Send it to the curing oven make wrinkle perfect

Remidities: The temp and time set must be perfect.

Time- 26 min and Temp- 155c

Because due to excessive heat or time the garments burn or damage.

In the body where clip will be stuck there using white fabric cause of that

aluminum clip may be occure spot on the fabric.

of 172

Tagging, Grinding and Destroy:Tagging is done before wash. Grinding and destroy is done before final wash. By tag-

ging we got one type of effect after washing. By grinding and d story the warp yarn of

the garments is damaged. Its only doing for style or innovative look on garments

body. But grinding is only done at the starting or ending point of the garment like;

Pockets, opening point, Hemming point, Waist band.

Sand Blasting:The first sandblasting process was patented the US in 1870. As a cleaning method, it

is often used for priming a surface for the application of paint or sealant. For

sandblasting nozzle (dia 1-1.5mm), tunnel board, compressor and chemical Al2O3

(sand) used. Aluminum oxide is look like normal sands but very hard and fine gra-

nules like sands. These aluminum oxides are blown at very high pressure through a

gun. This gun has a switch to start and stop flow of aluminum oxides. Garments to be

sandblasted are placed on the bed of a closed chamber. Then the gun is operated by

hand, when the switch of the gun is operated, aluminum oxides from a feeding cham-

ber through a pipe and gun starts blowing. The blowing of aluminum oxide is done on

the garment fabric surface. The area of the garment fabric surface is instantly faded by

the blowing action of aluminum oxides due to frictional affect of aluminum oxides.

The blow of aluminum oxides on the garment fabric surface is controlled at 10o – 20o

angle. This blowing angle is very important. Higher the blowing angle, higher the fad-

ing affect and higher the risk of garment fabric damage. In this process fading is done

on the pre marked areas of the garments. Fading in the pre marked areas may be done

in various patterns or design, by using folding or blocking techniques

of 172

Objectives: To create a new fashion.

To create a fading effect in specific area of garments.

To produce an irregular fading effects or old looking effect.

For soft feeling to wear the garments i.e. to improve softness.

To increase the rubbing fastness.

Flow chart of process:

At first garments collection.

Now select pressure & angle.

The garments are placed inside the spray chamber.

Highly compressed air supplied through the pipe.

Sand poured the tank.

Then compressed air & sand passed through the spraynozzle.

of 172

Remidities: Compressed air supply pipe may breakdown.

Often sand scattering or spraying occurs.

Due to high pressure fabric can be damaged.

1% wastage is accepted.

There is a high risk of accident.

The blasting pipe may be jammed with sand.

Working condition is hazardous for health.

The garments are placed inside the spray chamber witha hard backing.

Then the operator does the spraying according to therequirement.

Sandblasting is done before washing and after dyeing.

of 172

Laser Section:Laser section is the most modern equipment in the factory. In this machine different

effect are making on the body without any touch of chemical or water. By helping

Photoshop there design will be developed and send it to the buyer or when buyer give

requirement effect of laser. In Bangladesh there are only few factories (Opex, Hams,

ABA group, Clombia group, Hamim group) where laser effects have been used. Laser

m/c are mainly used for create critical effect.

WTP & ETP:WTP means water treatment plant. In Ananta Denim Technology Ltd. the required

water for garments washing is delivered form WTP continuously. Here the hard ness of raw

water is removed on neutral PH of water is controlled by applying some process.

And the meaning of ETP means effluent treatment plant. Here the effluent water form

washing and other sector of the factory directly come and applying some process on this wa-

ter for getting effluent free water. Then drain the water to the channel.

The capacity of WTP and ETP:

Capacity of WTP is : 80000 Lt/hour

Capacity of ETP is : 65 m3/hour

1. Design/ Sketch:

For the production of any garments design or sketch is so much important to know

how the garment followed which style. Design feature is essential to produce on paper

so that the manufacturing of that garment could be verified or check whether could be

done manually or help of a computer. Here design is developed by computer and then

it printed for the different types of size which is ready to make the garments of the

first step.

2. Pattern Design:

Each part of a garment size is copy by a hard paper which is pattern. Different types

of pattern will be made for each part of a garment. This pattern will be used on the fa-

bric before cutting. In garments block pattern is the basic pattern which is dependent

on the perfect body measure without any style and design. Block pattern is made by

three ways

Flat method

Modeling

Garments pattern

Different parts of a garment especially body and sleeve is made by drawing on the

pattern. It also is doing help of a computer. Actually here CAD system followed. Pat-

tern will be made here in two ways. One of them is manual and the other is by soft-

ware that is CAD. For CAD Lectra version-5 is used. Flow chart of technical depart-

ment:

At first Buyer gives order as per different size. Then it send it to the technical section for

making sample. First make LA fit sample, next revise, then sealer sample and when every-

thing is confirmed then production start. When pattern is making that time Block pattern will

made according to follow measurement. In making of sample with actual measurement shrin-

kage percentage will made with that. Then inseam, front rise, back rise, bottom opening,

of 172

knee, hip all things are made by follow the actual measurement. After that doing the grading.

It means making other sizes. Then find out the consumption. Consumption depends on fabric

width, thread, YY. Then fabric booked how many need for order. Cutting wastage 2% will be

added in fabric booking.

3. Sample garments making/ production pattern/Grading:

In garment section any design of garments will be produced in business strategy. So there

have been produce a lot of pieces followed by one style. So first of all there need a sample

which have been followed. So it is important to make a sample. Every style of each sample

going to before bulk production there need to confirmation from buyer.

Design of a body

Main block

Working Pattern

Sample body

Confirmation

Production pattern

Design of a garment will be developed by 3 ways:-

Own thinking or creativity

Copy of any design

Add more design with selected previous items.

When design or style selected then it will be marking on the paper. It will be manually or

with the help of a computer. Then ready to make sample body for selected garments. That

will be started from basic block. Basic block means a pattern which defined different shapes

of a body. Then a working pattern will be made with the help of computer. Marker is made

of 172

with the help of working pattern. At last sample maker will made the sample to follow by the

working pattern. Then the sample body checked because to find out any types of mistake

which may be occurred a big hamper in bulk production. Then it sends to the buyer for con-

firmation and making deal of costing. When everything is confirmed then made counter sam-

ple. In bulk production counter samples are followed.

Fig: Sample section

4. Marker making:

Marker means in which paper all patterns of every sizes are set up in that way in which all

sizes of pattern are used by using minimum quantity of fabric. Width of marker selected

lowest width of fabric. Marker width is also related with some topic such as:

Length of cutting table

production planning

Efficiency of marker:

Efficiency of marker maker depends on marker efficiency. Fabric wastage will be reduced if

efficiency will be high. Fabric price belongs half cost of a garment, so if effiency will be in-

creased 1% then profit will add with the total profit.

Related factor of marker effiency:

Marker maker:

Marker effiency depends on marker maker. Cause it related with marker mak-

er experience, efficiency, honesty.

of 172

Sizes of garments:

To making time marker making how many sizes have then experience will be

upgraded.

Marker length:

If marker length have more than efficiency will be increased.

Fabric Specialty:

Some fabric is very difficult to identify about its front side and back side. This

type of fabric is defined symmetrical fabric. That condition efficiency will be

high. Otherwise in asymmetric fabric there tough to increase marker efficien-

cy.

Making method of marker:

Marker has been made in 2 ways; manually and by computer. With help of

computer efficiency comes high.

Constraints of marker making:

When marker maker placed big pattern first then he trying to placed small pattern between

the gap of big pattern for reducing the wastage and increasing the effiency. Some factors are

making problem to increase efficiency:

Grain line

Specialty of fabric

Design of a fabric

Cutting quality

Production planning

Fabric wastage outside of marker:

Actually most use of fabric depends on the efficiency of marker. Sometimes a few wastages

are occurred which is out of control of marker. Factors are:

Ends of ply looses:

When fabric is spreading on the layout then some restriction of fabric for that there

put have some extended fabric. To hold the actual garment measurement. This may

causes Wastage of marker.

of 172

Loss of fabric ends:

When fabric comes into the store then it comes as roll wise. So that time when it in-

spected then finds out that fabric ends are loose for fabric quality restriction. It is the

one of the cause to wastage of the marker.

Selvedge losses:

Every fabric has two edge or selvedge according to widthwise. So most o the time it

would be cut down. Using of Width of a fabric depends on the quality of the selvedge.

Purchase loss: In purchase time fabric roll is counted as lengthwise. So in the roll that

measurement will be marked by the supplier. But sometime that was not found as per

order. so before buying it must be clear that about the measurement of roll.

5.Fabric spreading:In garment business for production fabric will be cut down at a time at a lot. At a time to cut

down the lot of fabric need planning and assembling the fabric length and width wise on the

marker table that is defined as spreading. After the fabric spreading which fabric part is

formed that is known as lay.

There are 100 of plies between the lay. Purpose of making of lay is two reasons.

Fabric saving

Time savings

Because of more than 100 lays are remaining. So structure of fabric will be hard and top of

the table will be smooth.

Requirements of fabric spreading:Alignment of the fabric:Fabric will be spreading according to length and width wise. When lay will be set then care-

ful about the setting of the fabric. Try to set up the fabric on the table according to length and

width. If length or width of the fabric set out of the table then it will be counted as faulted

of 172

marking. So when fabric will be set then according to lengthwise 2cm fabric will be taking

more.

Correct ply tension:Fabric lay is made set the fabric one by one from top. Fabric is spreading by manually or by

the machine. In time of spreading be careful about the fabric tension. If in there have no fa-

bric tension then cutting will not properly then it turns to fault piece. Otherwise fabric tension

is more in fabric lay then after sewing the garments it will be shrinked. So it is a most impor-

tant fact of spreading.

Fabric must be flat:In fabric spreading must be careful about that fabric will be wrinkle free. In spreading flat is

the most important thing. Without flat fabric after spreading it will occure damage situation

in cutting.

Elimination of fabric flaws

Correct ply direction.

6. Fabric cutting:Fabric cutting is the most important part to make a garment. Without cutting the fabric a

garment will not ready for the despatch. So it is also important to make that during cutting it

will occur without any damage.

For good cutting from the fabric have some factors to make sure its cutting quality:

Precession of cut.

Clean Edge.

Infused Edge.

Support of the lay.

Consistent of cutting.

Methods of fabric cutting:

1. Manual method

Hand operated scissor

Round knife

of 172

Straight knife

Band knife

Die cutting

Notcher

Drill

2. Computerized Method: Knife cutting.

Cutting by water jet.

Laser cutting.

Plasma torch cutting.

7. Sorting or bundling:After cutting the entire fabric lay, all the garments components in stack form is sorted out

as per size and color. To avoid mistake in sorting , it is better to use code number on each

pattern.

8. Interlining:An insulation, padding, or stiffening fabric, either sewn to the wrong side of the lining or the

inner side of the outer shell fabric. The interlining is used primarily to provide warmth in

coats, jackets, and outerwear. Woven or non woven fabric layer between outer cloth and lin-

ing of a garment for stiffening or giving warmth. Any One Of A Wide Variety Of Fabrics

Used Between The Inner And Outer Layers Of A Garment To Improve Shape Retention,

Strength, Warmth Or Bulk. Interlining May Be Of Woven, Knitted, Or Non-woven Material

And May Be Produced With Or Without A Fusible Adhesive Coating. A soft, but thick fabric

that is inserted between the main fabric and the back lining. Interlining helps fabric drape

gracefully.

An insulation, padding, or stiffening fabric, either sewn to the wrong side of the lining or the

inner side of the outer shell fabric. The interlining is used primarily to provide warmth in

coats, jackets, and outerwear. Interfacing - Fabrics used to support, reinforce and give shape

to fashion fabrics in sewn products. Often placed between the lining and the outer fabric. It

can be made from yarns or directly from fibers, and may be woven, non-woven, or knitted.

Inner lining between the lining and fabric of a garment.

of 172

9. Sewing:In processing of garments sequences sewing is the most important part. Fabric is attached by

sewing. There are different parts in sewing which is most important for this section. Sewing

machines of different types are arranged as vertical or zigzag line to assemble the garments.

Sequences of types of sewing machine arrangement depend on sequence of assembling op-

erations. Number of sewing machine per lines depending on the style of the garment to be

produced. Production per line per hour also varies from 100 to 150 pieces depending on spe-

cific circumstances. Number of sewing machine arrangement per line may be up to 60 de-

pending on design and output quality of garment.

There are different types sewing machines are used in line which are:

1 needle lock stitch m/c

2 needle lock stitch m/c

2 needle chain stitch m/c

kansi multi needle m/c

Feed of the arm m/c

1 needle vertical m/c

Bar tack m/c

Button hole m/c

Eyelet hole and button attach m/c

Straight knife cutting m/c

Flat lock m/c

Automatic bon pocket making m/c

Automatic back pocket attach m/c

Fabric end cutter m/c

Compressor m/c

10. Inspection:Each and every garment after sewing passes through the inspection table/point. Where the

garments are thoroughly and carefully checked to detect/find any defect if present in the gar-

ment. The defects may be for example variation of measurement, sewing defect, fabric de-

fects, spots etc. If the defect is possible to overcome, then the garment is sent back to the re-

of 172

spective person for correction. If the defect is not correction able, then the garment is sepa-

rated as wastage.

11. Pressing or finishing:After passing through the inspection table, each garment is normally ironed/pressed to re-

move unwanted crease and to improve the smoothness. So that the garment looks nice to the

customer. Folding of the garment is also done here for poly packing of the garments as per

required dimension.

12. Final inspection:It is the last stage of inspection of the manufactured garment of behalf of the garment manu-

facturing organization, to detect any defective garment before packing.

13. Packing:After final inspection, the garments are poly-packed, dozen-wise, color wise, size ratio wise,

bundled and packed in to the cartoon. The cartoon is marked with important information in

printed form which is seen from outside the cartoon easily.

14. Despatch:The cartoons of the garments are delivered or placed in the despatch department or finished

product godown, from where the garments lot is delivered for shipment.

Literature view of seam and stitch:

Seam:In sewing a seam is the line produced by services of stitches and applied to one or more lay-

ers of fabric.

Properties of a Seam:

Strength

Elasticity

Durability

Security

Comfort

Specialized fabric properties.

1. Seam strength: Seam must be as strong as fabric. If seam is weaker than fabric, it

may easily break under force at particular situation. If seam strength is higher than the

fabric strength the fabric may break down due to extra pressure on the fabric.

2. Elasticity of Seam: Seam must stretch or recover with fabric. Otherwise, seam may

break with stretching of fabric. Normally knit fabric is more stretch able than woven

fabric. In swimwear, amount of stretch may be up to about 30%. So seam must be

compatible with extensibility of fabric.

3. Durability of seam: Seam must be durable. So that it is not broken or damage for ab-

rasion during wearing and washing.

4. Security of seam: Seam must be secured against fraying a part or the unraveling of

stitches.

5. Comfort ability of seam: In some special garment such as close fitting or underwear

garment, seam must not present an uncomfortable ridge or roughness to the skin.

6. Special properties of seam: If a fabric is coated with Teflon, PVC or polyurethane to

make it totally waterproof, seam must be water proof. Needle holes cause gap along

the seam. That is why seam must be welded or taped to seal over the join and block

up the needle holes. For flame proof garments seam must be constructed with sewing

threads which will prevent a flame along the seam.

of 172

Seam types:Seam may be hundred types. As per British standard these types are classified into 8 main

classes:-

Class1- Super Imposed Seam

Class2- Lapped Seam

Class3- Bound seam

Class4- Flat Seam

Class5:- Decorative Seam

Class6:- Edge Neatening

Class7&8:- Special

Class1- Super Imposed Seam:-

These seams are formed by placing one ply of material above another with the edge

together and the seam along one side.

Most commonly used.

Seams are sewn in one or several operation.

Superimposed seams are usually made with two plies of material, although than two

plies can be used for special projects.

Types of super imposed seam:-

Plain seam:

This is the common way of joining fabric. In most cases, fabric edges are neatened

first and then sewn or joining and neatening the edges are down simultaneously.

Fig: Super imposed seam

of 172

Class2- Lapped seam:

A lapped seam is achieved with two or more pieces of fabric overlapping each other

lapped seam commonly, but not always, have one ply of fabric fold under itself for a fi-

nished edge.

Types:

Common lapped seam:

This is commonly used in joining of panels in sails not commonly used in clothing due

to raw edges of fabric.

Lap filled seam:

The seam is sewn with two rows of stitches produced by twin needle m/c equipped

with a folding device. Most widely used in jeans for inseam or out seam/side seam.

Fig: Lapped seam

Class3-Bound seam:

Bound seam consist of an edge of material which is bound or enclosed by a stripe of fabric.

The binding is usually a bias-cut strip of light-weight fabric. Now a days commercially bias

type is used.

Uses:

To finish the row edges of fabric. A common usage of this finish is seen on the neck line of a

collarless garment. For produces decorative edge by using binding of constracting color. To

attach elastic. To insert interlining at the waist band of trousers, skirt or jeans.

of 172

Fig: Bound Seam

Class4-Flat seam:

A flat seam is constructed by having two pieces of fabric which meet preciously at their edge

and the fabric edges don’t overlap. Fabric edges may be joined together with or without gap a

cover stitch is used to sew the two pieces of fabric together.

Uses:

Used mainly items made of shear knit fabric such as women stocking and the like. Zigzag

stitches gap are used for decorative purpose.

Fig: Flat seam

Class5-Decorative seam:

Decorative seam may be produced by single or multiple rows of stitches which are sewn

through one or more layers of fabric. These several layers can be folds of the same fabric.

Used only for decorative sewing on garment.

of 172

Fig: Decorative seam

Class6-Edge neatening:

The cut edges of fabric, specially woven one, will fray. The fraying of fabric row edge is

undesirable because it will affect the accuracy of the seam allowance and will cause diffi-

culty in the manufacturing process. Therfore the Raw edges of cut parts should be nea-

tened before the seaming process. A finished garment with neatened edges will look neater

and tidier and will be more durable for wash and wear.

There are various method of neatening:

Over locking

Edge stitching

Binding

Over edging

Lining

Picot Edging

pinking

Fig: Seam neatening

of 172

Class7- Special:

Seams in this class relate to the addition of separate items to the edge of the garment part.

They are similar to the lapped seam except that the added component has a definite edge

on both sides.

Stitch:

Every category of sewing machine produces a specific type of stitch formation

depending on the number of needles, loppers and threads which combine to

construct the stitch. Each of these configurations is known as a stitch type and they

are classified according to their main characteristics. There are various national and

international standards for stitch types and they all use a similar taxonomy for

classifying the main and sub-classes of stitch types. The following is an example of

the system used by the British and USA standards, both of which contain the

specifications for over 70 different stitch types. The six main classes are identified

by the first of the three digits.

.

Class 100 these are chain stitches formed from a needle thread only and they are typically

used for basting, felling and blind stitching.

Class 200 originally hand stitches, these are mostly, formed by single threads passed from

one side of the material to the other with each successive penetration of the needle. Various

classes of this stitch are used for Saddle stitching and the prick stitching of edges.

Class 300 these are also referred to as lock stitches because the top and under groups of

threads are interlaced to form the stitch. The most widely used stitch formation in this class is

no. 301, which is produced by a regular sewing machine.

Class 400 formed by two or more groups of threads, the loops of which are interlaced and

interloped, stitch no. 401 is a chain stitch formed from two threads and is widely used for

knitted materials because the stitch formed from two threads and is widely used for knitted

materials because the stitch formation makes for good extensibility and lateral strength.

Class 500 these are known as over edge stitches because at least one group of

threads covers the edge of the material. In this class, stitch no. 504 is a three

of 172

thread over looking stitch used for assembling light weight knits and also for cleaning

and finishing the seam and hem edges of garments.

Class 600: There are many complex stitch formations in this class because the stitches can be

formed from three to nine threads and the use of up to four needles. This class of stitches is

characterized by high elasticity and strength.

Production planning

We will be shouldering the responsibilities of executive of tomorrow so it is to understand

methods, plans, various techniques that are essential to operate the effectively and efficiently.

For this purpose we must have the knowledge of production planning. This is also true that

this subject intervene into many departments of industrial organization, their relations with

these departments are explained in first few topics.

This basic objective of creating the manufacturing organization is to make the products. Thus

the production is the nucleus or the centre of entire business operations. It must be empha-

sized, however, that on signal system of forecasting, preplanning, planning and control is

suited to all industrial enterprises, no matter how well it may meet the needs of this on that

special company. Production planning functions look after the manufacturing activities. Pro-

duction planning comprise the total planning, routing, dispatching in the manufacturing

process so that the movement of material, performance of machines and operation of labor

however are subdivided and are directed and coordinated as to quantity, quality, time and

place.

Planning and control are two basic and interrelated managerial functions. They are so interre-

lated that they can be and often are considered as being one function. Planning is the prepara-

tion activity of operation function. Planning sets the objectives, goals, targets on the basis of

available resources with their given constraints. Planning involves setting up to such stan-

dard. The controlling is made by comparing the actual performance with these present stan-

dard and deviations are ascertained and analyzed. Production is an organized activity of con-

verting raw materials into useful products but before starting that work of actual production,

production planning is done in order to anticipated possible difficulties and decide in advance

as to how the production should be carried out in the best and economical way.

Since mere planning of production is not only sufficient, hence management takes all possi-

ble steps to see that project or plan chalked by the planning department are properly adhered

to and the standards set are attained in order to achieve it.

The aim of production planning is to produce the products of right quality, in right quantity at

the right time by using the best and least expensive methods.

of 172

Garment Production Planning

Garment production planning involves creating a schedule for the mass production of cloth-

ing. Producing garments requires a lot of coordination and schedule management. Every pro-

duction requires different elements, depending on how large the production is and what is

being produced. The time frame for a production depends on the elements of the production,

but generally speaking planning for the production is the same.

Planning for a production can be very simple if all steps are followed, assuming have already

sourced your materials and subcontractors prior to this stage. Be sure to inspect garments tho-

roughly before determining a schedule in order to make sure all the elements needed in the

garments are included in your production schedule. If you not already a garment manufactur-

er, check your local state and city laws regarding certification, permits and licenses that might

be needed for garment manufacturing—they vary greatly and many times require certifica-

tion.

Types of Forecasts by Time Horizon:

• Short-range forecast

– Up to 1 year; usually less than 3 months

– Job scheduling, worker assignments

• Medium-range forecast

– 3 months to 3 years

– Sales & production planning, budgeting

• Long-range forecast

– 3+ years

– New product planning, facility location

Short-term vs. Longer-term Forecasting:

• Medium/long range forecasts deal with more comprehensive issues and support man-

agement decisions regarding planning and products, plants and processes.

• Short-term forecasting usually employs different methodologies than longer-term fo-

recasting

of 172

• Short-term forecasts tend to be more accurate than longer-term forecasts.

• Economic forecasts

• Address business cycle, e.g., inflation rate, money supply etc.

• Technological forecasts

• Predict rate of technological progress

• Predict acceptance of new product

• Demand forecasts

• Predict sales of existing product

Seven Steps in Forecasting:

• Determine the use of the forecast

• Select the items to be forecasted

• Determine the time horizon of the forecast

• Select the forecasting model(s)

• Gather the data

• Make the forecast

• Validate and implement results

Realities of Forecasting:

• Forecasts are seldom perfect

• Most forecasting methods assume that there is some underlying stability in the system

• Both product family and aggregated product forecasts are more accurate than individ-

ual product forecasts

of 172

Forecasting Approaches:

Qualitative Methods :

• Used when situation is vague & little data exist

– New products

– New technology

• Involves intuition, experience

– e.g., forecasting sales on Internet

• Quantitative Methods:

• Used when situation is ‘stable’ & historical data exist

– Existing products

– Current technology

• Involves mathematical techniques

– e.g., forecasting sales of color televisions

Overview of Qualitative Methods:

• Jury of executive opinion

– Pool opinions of high-level executives, sometimes augment by statistical mod-

els

• Delphi method

– Panel of experts, queried iteratively

• Sales force composite

– Estimates from individual salespersons are reviewed for reasonableness, then

aggregated

of 172

• Consumer Market Survey

• Ask the customer

Jury of Executive Opinion:

• Involves small group of high-level managers

– Group estimates demand by working together

• Combines managerial experience with statistical models

• Relatively quick

• ‘Group-think’

disadvantage

Delphi Method:

• Iterative group process

• 3 types of people

– Decision makers

– Staff

– Respondents

• Reduces ‘group-think

of 172

Sales Force Composite:

• Each salesperson projects his or her sales

• Combined at district & national levels

• Sales reps know customers’ wants

• Tends to be overly optimistic

Consumer Market Survey:

• Ask customers about purchasing plans

• What consumers say, and what they actually do are often different

• Sometimes difficult to answer

Time Series:

• Set of evenly spaced numerical data

– Obtained by observing response variable at regular time periods

• Forecast based only on past values

– Assumes that factors influencing past and present will continue influence in

future

• Example

Year: 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002

Sales: 78.7 63.5 89.7 93.2 92.1

Time Series Component

Trend Component:

• Persistent, overall upward or downward pattern

of 172

• Due to population, technology etc.

• Several years duration

Seasonal Component:

• Regular pattern of up &

down fluctuations

• Due to weather, customs etc.

• Occurs within 1 year

of 172

Common Seasonal Patterns:

Period of Pattern “Season” Length Number of “Sea-

sons” in Pattern

Week Day 7

Month Week 4 – 4 ½

Month Day 28 – 31

Year Quarter 4

Year Month 12

Year Week 52

Cyclical Component:

• Repeating up & down movements

• Due to interactions of factors influencing economy

• Usually 2-10

years dura-

tion

Random Com-

ponent:

• Erratic, unsystematic, ‘residual’ fluctuations

• Due to random variation or unforeseen events

of 172

– Union strike

– Tornado

• Short duration and no repeating.

Naive Approach:

• Assumes demand in next period is the same as demand in most recent period

– e.g., If May sales were 48, then June sales will be 48

• Sometimes cost effective & efficient

Moving Average Method:

• MA is a series of arithmetic means

• Used if little or no trend

• Used often for smoothing

– Provides overall impression of data over time

• Equation

Schedule

Creating a time frame is the most crucial part of garment production planning. Working

backwards is the best way to determine this schedule. Determine a finish date for your pro-

duction and move backwards from that.

Fabric and Materials

Ordering materials is a crucial element in beginning production. If your items require mate-

rials from multiple vendors this coordination can become more difficult. Be sure to give ap-

propriate lead times for your orders depending on when your sewing contractor needs mate-

rials for production.

Patterns, Marking and Grading

This is the first step of production planning and if often finished after sample making. Once

orders are in place, get your patterns and grading completed. Your markers will determine the

yield of fabric needed for your order. Once markers are complete, fabric can be ordered.

Cutting and Sewing

Many sewing contractors also offer cutting services. If this is the case, include this time in

your contractor's schedule, otherwise, use a cutting contractor. Once you select a sewing con-

tractor for your production, they can tell you the time frame needed to sew your garments.

Create a contract stating the schedule with your sewing contractor. Determine what they will

provide, such as thread and what you will provide. It is advisable to provide a sewing instruc-

tion card along with sewn samples for the contractor.

Inspection and Finishing

Be sure to allow time to inspect sewn garments before they are finished. Many times, sewing

contractors will give only a few days to return items for them to fix. Anybody do not want to

send defects to stores.

of 172

PLANNING

Planning is exercise of intelligent anticipation in order to establish how an objective can be

achieved, or a need fulfilled, in circumstances which are invariable restrictive. Planning pro-

vides the supporting arithmetic for an objective which has already been decided. It does not

establish whether the objective is right or wrong, good or bad, worthwhile or worthless ex-

cept in terms which have also been decided beforehand.

Consequently, only plan is invariably biased in favor of the chosen objective. Incidentally, to

attack it on this count is rather like shooting the plainest and setting fire to the plans, not be-

cause the plainest is playing badly or the plans are out of the tune, but simply because one

does not like the music which is being played.

Planning is an act of prediction, the accuracy of which varies enormously depending upon the

kind of objective, kind of circumstances, the skill of the planner and his techniques and

chance.

Planning is necessary because resources are limited. Production planning activities originate

at the aggregate level and consider decisions relevant to a specific planning horizon. A plan-

ning horizon can be a period as short as four weeks a month, or a quarter (03 weeks) but more

commonly refers to periods of from six months to a year or more. The aggregate planning

problem is to determine the production rate which satisfies the anticipated output require-

ments; while minimizing the related costs associated with the fluctuation of work force, in-

ventories, and other relevant decision variables such as overtime hours subcontracting and

capacity utilization. Production planning translated sales forecast into master production

schedules.

There are three distinct types of production planning:

• Project planning.

• Lot or batch planning.

• Progressive of continuous planning.

of 172

PROJECT PLANNING

Before starting every project its planning is done. Planning a project is a very important task

and should be taken up with great care as the efficiency of the whole project largely depends

upon its planning. While planning a project each and every detail should be worked out in

anticipation and should be considered carefully considering all the relevant provisions in ad-

vance. Project planning consists of the following important steps.

1. Market Survey:

Market survey in a broad sense, is a commercial survey for the suitability of business it

provides necessary statistics helpful for forecasting planning project.

2. Project Capacity:

Capacity of the project must be decided considering the amount of money which can be

invested for particular type of product and how the money which can be invested for a par-

ticular type of product and how the money can be arranged. While deciding the capacity of

the project, following factors must be considered.

1. Demand of the product in the market.

2. Quantity of power, water, land and raw material available.

3. Nature of product.

4. investment capacity

3. Selection of Site:

While selecting the site, technical, commercial and financial aspects should thoroughly be

considered. Site should be selected in two states; in first stage general location for factory

should be selected in this location. Important factors to be considered for the selection of

site.

a. General location of the factory.

b. Selection of exact site.

4.Plant Layout:

One of the most important aspects of production system design is layout of facilities primary

object of these is to optimize the arrangements " 4 m's" and supporting services.

of 172

5.Design and Drawing :

After deciding the product its detailed drawing are prepared so that no doubt is left for future.

Detailed specifications for raw materials and finished product should be decided carefully

along with the specification of the machines required for their manufacture.

6. Material requirement:

The list of materials required for manufacture is prepared from the engineering drawings.

This list is known as ''Bill of materials" part list".

7. Operation Planning:

Work of this is to select the best method of manufacturing, so that the wastage of material,

labor, machine and time can be eliminated, to have more production with less fatigue. This

work is done in two phases, namely. Method study is conducted to eliminate the wastage due

to ill directed and inefficient motions. Time study is the exact estimation of time and is very

essential for correct pricing.

8. Machine loading:

Number of machines to be installed in a plant should be decided very carefully while plan-

ning, proper care should be taken to find out the machining time for each operation as correct

as possible, so that arrangement for full utilization of machines can be made and machines

loading program is prepared accordingly.

9. Sub-contract consideration:

With the development of technology and specialization, it is difficult to manufacture all the

components in the same factory, due to fact that specialized machines plants and workers.

The decision about particular item, whether to purchase or to manufacture, is taken by plan-

ning department after making a through study of the relative merits and demerits.

10.Equipment Requirement:

After knowing the number of equipments, their accessories and tools required, cost data can

be collected to give and idea of capital requirement.

11.Organizational Layout and staff Requirement:

Layout of organization is decided by considering the nature of work, type of industry size of

industry, etc and in line of above the stalls are appointed.

of 172

12.Material Handling:

The material handling problems must be studied before the erection of the factory building and plant

layout.

13. Budgeting:

Budgeting is forecasting and preplanning for a particular future period using past expe-

rience and market trends.

14.Cost Calculation

Total cost of a product is calculated by adding the expenses incurred during the period on

a product.

15.Procurement of Finance :

Generally large industries manage their block capital through partners and shareholders.

While the working capital arranged through 'shares debentures, loans and banks.

16.Critical Report on Feasibility :

Generally, rate of return on the invested capital is taken as the criteria for analyzing the

feasibility of the project.

CAPACITY PLANNING:

Capacity

Capacity is the maximum rate of output for a process.

Capacity is a relative term; in an operations management context, it may be defined as, the

amount of resource inputs available relative to output requirements over a particular period

of time.

Production capacity is depend on as well as affected by facilities, equipment, processing,

method, labor and supplies.

If facility is too large, portions of it sit idle and add cost to existing system.

If facility is too small, customer and perhaps entire markets are lost.

of 172

So determining facility size, with an objective of achieving high level of utilization and a

high return of investment is critical.

Design capacity is the maximum theoretical output of a system in a given period under ideal

conditions.

Shortly, design capacity is maximum obtainable output.

It is normally expressed as a rate, such as number of tons of steel can be produced per week,

per month or per year.

It is also called peak capacity.

Effective capacity is the capacity a firm expects to achieve given its product mix, methods of

scheduling, maintenance and standard quality.

Measures of Capacity

Two measures of the system performance are particularly useful:

• Utilization

• Efficiency

• Utilization is simply the percent of design capacity actually achieved. Utilization is ex-

pressed as-

Efficiency is the percent of effective capacity actually achieved.

• Capacity Cushion is the amount of the reserved capacity that a firm maintains to handle

sudden increase in demand or temporary losses of production capacity.

• It measures the amount by which the average utilization (in terms of effective capacity)

falls below 100 percent. Specially,

• Capacity cushion =100% - Utilization rate (%).

A Systematic Approach to Capacity Decisions

Although each situation is somewhat different, a four step procedure generally can help mangers

make sound capacity decisions.

• Estimate capacity requirements

• Identify gaps by comparing requirements with available capacity.

• Develop alternative plans for filling the gaps.

• Evaluate the alternatives, both qualitatively and quantitatively and make a final choice.

Step-1: Estimate capacity requirements

• In determining capacity requirement, the demands for individual product lines, indi-

vidual plant capabilities and allocation of production throughout the plant network must

be addressed. The foundation of estimating long term capacity need is forecast of de-

mand. Then calculate machine and labor requirement to meet product line fore-

casts

Suppose that capacity is expressed as the number of machines at an operation. When

just one product is being processed, the number of machines required, M is-

Where, D=number of units (customers) forecast per year.

p = processing time (in hours per unit or customer).

N = total number of hours per year during which the process operates.

C = desired capacity cushion rate (%).

Step-2: Identify Gaps

A capacity gap is any difference (positive or negative) between projected demand and current

capacity. Identifying gaps requires use of the correct capacity measure. Complications arise

when multiple operations and several resource inputs are involved.

Step-3: Develop Alternative

The next step is to develop alternative plans to cope with projected gaps.

One alternative called, base case is to do nothing and simply lose orders from any demand

that exceeds current capacity.

Other alternatives are various timing and sizing options for adding new capacity.

Step- 4: Evaluate the alternatives

Evaluate each alternative in both quantitatively and qualitatively and make a final choice.

present in industry.

Production engineering:

The engineering approach which is used applied in every stage of a production process of a

product is known as production engineering.

Production engineering includes:

I. Ensures smooth production.

II. Involves with maintenance management.

III. It is applied on every stages of production.

WORK STYDY:

Work study is defined as-

Work study is a collection of techniques used to examine work - what is done and how it is

done-so that there is systematic analysis of all the elements, factors, resources and relation-

ships affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of the work being studied.

OBJECTIVES:

• To standardize the method of doing a task.

• To determine the standard time for doing a task.

• To minimize the materials movements, operators movement, idle time of the workers

and machines by proper plant layout.

• To eliminate the unnecessary human motions in performing a task.

• To utilize the facilities such as men, machines or materials most efficiently and effec-

tively.

• To establish the standard of performance.

WORK STUDY TECHNIQUE:

Work Study is a generic term connotes both

methods study and

Work measurement.

Method-study concerned with “the way in which work is done (i.e., method)”.

Work measurement deals with establishing a time standard.

Motion study:

Motion study is a technique of analyzing the body motions employed in doing a task in order

to eliminate or reduce ineffective movements and facilitates effective movements.

of 172

Method study:

systematic recording and critical examination of existing and proposed ways of doing work

as means of developing and applying easier and more effective method and thereby reducing

cost.

Principles of motion economy:

Motion economy provides a set of well-structures guidelines for analyzing and designing (or

improving) the jobs. It encompasses a wide set of guidelines for the scientific use of human

body, tools and work-place arrangement to increase the efficiency of the man-machine sys-

tem. It also covers the aspects for reducing work-related fatigue.

There are 3 principles-

1. Principles related to the use of the “human body”

2. Principles related to the “Arrangement of the workplace”

3. Principles related to the “Design of tools and equipment”

WORK MEASUREMENT:

Work measurement refer to the estimation of standard time, that is the time allowed for com-

pleting one piece of job using the given method. International Labor Organization (ILO) de-

fines work measurement as, “Work measurement is the application of techniques designed

to establish the time for a qualified worker to carry out a specific job at a defined level of

performance.” The fundamental purpose of work measurement is to set time standard for a

job.

OBJECTIVES:

• To establish the standard time for various operation

• To schedule work and allocate capacity

• To provide an objective basis for motivating and measuring workers’ performance

• To provide benchmarks for improvement

• To determine manpower requirements, and labor cost

of 172

• To understand the production capacity of the factory, and to draw up an appropriate

target output, suitable range of divided labor and optimum production.

• For use as basis for determining the unit cost of manufacture and wage rate.

TECHNIQES OF WORK MEASUREMENT:

There are four basic techniques for measuring work and setting standards. They are-

• Historical experience

• Time studies

• Predetermined time standards

• Work sampling

TIME STUDY:

Time study is a systematic technique which measures and estimates the standard time of per-

forming any task. Time study is defined as a work measurement technique for recording the

times and rate of working for the elements of a specified job, carried out under specified con-

dition, and for analyzing the data so as to obtain the time necessary for carrying out the job

at a defined level of performance.

PURPOSE OF TIME STUDY:

• To determine the standard time of performing any operation.

• To determine the time value for each work component under the motion study, which

support improvements and standardization

• For use as a yardstick in evaluation the operations

• To find out individual worker capacity

• Provide information for line balancing.

of 172

STANDARD TIME:

Standard time is the time required for an average operator, fully qualified and trained, and

working at standard pace, to perform the operation. It must include time for all the elements

in the operation and in addition it must contain time for all necessary allowances. Standard

time is equal to the normal time plus the allowances.

Standard time = Normal time + Allowances

= Normal time + (Normal time ×Allowances)

= NT (1+ Allowances).

In garments production world, the terms SMV or SAM used frequently.

• SMV stands for Standard Minute Value.

• SAM for Standard allocated minute or Standard Allowed Minute.

SMV CALCULATION:

SMV calculation of a basic T-shirt from a time study sheet of a garments industry. Following

formulas are use-

• Normal time = (Average observed time) × (Performance rating factor).

• SMV (Standard Minute Value) = Basic Time + (Allowances × Basic time).

= Basic Time× (1+ Allowance).

• Allowances are assumed for this calculation is 20%.

of 172

IMPORTANT TERMS:

Observed Time:

Observed time comes from a direct observation by an observer that an operator takes to com-

plete his / her relevant operation or elements.

Performance Rating

During the time study, it is necessary to apply some 'adjustment' to the mean observed

time to arrive at the time that the normal operator would have needed to do that job

when working at an average pace. This 'adjustment' is called Performance Rating.

Rating is the assessment of the worker’s rate of working relative to the observer’s

concept of the rate corresponding to the standard pace.

Therefore, the rating of the worker gives the comparison of the rate of working ob-

served with respect to the standard level, which is the average rate at which qualified

workers will naturally work at a job, when using the correct method and when moti-

vated to apply themselves to their work.

Standard rating is 10

Performance rating factor=

• For example, an operator performs a task in two minutes and the time study analyst

estimates to be performing about 20% faster than normal, the operators performance

rating would be 120 percent of normal.

Shipment

Description of Production process:

Merchandising order sheet: Merchandising Department communication with Buyer.

Buyer at first asks for a sample to product development department by their specified data.

After complete a sample, send to the Buyer by following every instruction given by Buyer.

If Buyer is pleased they give the order and if found any problem or change is required

Buyer give comments on sample. Product development section again fulfills their com-

ments and send sample. Finally when everything is ok, then buyer give instruction about

Quantity for bulk production.

Pilot Production: When production order is fixed, before going to bulk production. Pilot

production /pre-production/trail are done as like bulk production. Pilot production is done

before bulk production because reduce wastage.

Pre-production meeting: Before going to bulk production planning and material man-

agement start working. Planning department make a schedule for which section need how

much time and how much line and sequence of line balancing for smooth bulk.

Production by organizing a pre-production meeting. Material management section closely

related with planning section. Material management section manages all kind of materials

for smooth production.

Bulk Production: When order Quantity get fixed and all materials are ready authority go for

bulk production. Before going to bulk production all calculation (fabric, accessories, line,

time, manpower, others) should be perfectly calculate for proper shipment. Materials book-

ing and receive schedule taken by merchandiser and coordinate with all team members.

of 172

Shipment: After complete successfully bulk production, shipment process (finishing, pack-

ing, cartooning) Q.C is done for proper shipment.

Production report: before going to know about production report, we have to know about

purchase order sheet. Different buyer gives different type of PO sheet. According to PO

sheet production planner do his production plan. Different buyer gives different type of PO

sheet. Some buyer mention all measurement, someone give ratio. Production planner arrange

shipment plan coordinate with all department according to PO sheet.

CHAPTER– VIIIQUALITY ASSURANCE

SYSTEM

of 172

To get quality products it requires good quality control of piece goods. Even the most modern

manufacturing methods can’t ensure the quality of the product if the material is defective.

Fabric and the end product must meet the expected requirement of the valued customer. It is

the responsibility of manufacturers and the fabric suppliers to ensure the quality.

Ananta ensures its quality assurance checkpoints are staffed with a

Trained workforce, effective measures and in-line procedures:

Stringent quality checks at every process ensuring AQL 2.5

Employs 6-8 QCs and adequate Quality Assurance Manager(s) in each sewing, Cutting

Costing:

Costing means total cost of garments. In costing every price is included. Costing of a garment

is very necessary and important task. In this factory costing is carried out by the merchandis-

ing department. Firstly merchandiser contacts with the buyer and collect the order. Then he is

provided a sample section according to the buyers specification. The sample section also sup-

plies the fabric consumption. Cost of the fabric is determined according to the consumption.

Then he makes the costing of other raw materials, Accessories, trimmings, etc. He adds than

all production cost, transport cost, commission(C&F agent) and profit At last total cost of a

garment is known as FOB.

CHAPTER–XIIIMARKETTING ACTIVITIES

of 172

Introduction about garment merchandising:

We should understand the term "Garment Merchandising' at first.”Garments" means apparels,

or clothing which we need to wear every day, everybody, every time not only in our country,

all over the world also. "Merchandising" means buying, producing and selling of any goods

or products or services for the local or international market. If we combine this two English

term "Garments Merchandising" then the meaning of "garments merchandising" becomes

like following definition.

All the activities involved in procuring export order of any garment of any particular design

for a specific quantity, analysis of the garment requires to produce the garments, production

of those quantity of garments with specific attention to required quality level, production

scheduling & exporting the garments within fixed time frame, may be called garments mer-

chandising.

From the said definition of garments merchandising it can be assumed clearly that procuring

a garment export order that is export L/C, production of those garments as per buyers satis-

faction within limited time is not so easy. The activities involved in garments merchandising

is normally done by a dynamic & expert person called garments merchandiser. The person

"Garments Merchandiser" is one of the important key people of a garments production &

garments export sector.

Garments production & export of Bangladesh:

Garments are produced in the garments factories on industrial basis for all the people of a

specific country. Bangladesh is one of the garments producing & exporting country in the

world market. At present, there are about 6200 garments factories running in Bangladesh.

Growth of garments factories started in Bangladesh around 1980. Around 1980, garment pro-

duction & export business was almost unknown to us. Foreign currency earning through gar-

ments export from Bangladesh started in 1980-81 with starting figure US $ 3.24 million

which was not countable in percentage of the total national foreign currency earnings. After-

wards, tremendous growth of garment factor}', garments productions and garments export ,

the percentage of foreign currency earnings through garments export reached from 0% to

around 80% of the national foreign currency earnings, in 2007-08 financial year.

of 172

At present Bangladesh is producing & exporting more than 60 items of garments. The most

common items are shirt, trouser, Jacket, Sportswear. T-Shirt. Polo shirts. Ladies wear, swea-

ter, socks, hats etc. These produced items are exported in USA. Canada, EEC. Japan. Austral-

ia Middle-East and many other countries in the world. Bangladesh is one of the important &

competitive garments exporting country in the world market. Cheapest labor cost is the big-

gest advantage for Bangladeshi garments producers & exporters.

To produce & export garments from those 4500 garments factories about 20, 00.000 people is

engaged full time basis. For backward linkage around 20,000,000 people is needed & for

forward linkage about 20, 00,000 people is need. Hence for year to year continuous garments

export around 60, 00,000 people is needed. 90% of this huge work force is illiterate & re-

maining 10% may be counted for literate. It is a very big challenge for Bangladesh to survive

as garment exporter in the world market with that type of man power. But it still remains true

that the growth of Bangladesh garments sector is satisfactory,

Role of a garments merchandiser:

The main role of a garments merchandiser is to collect garments export order (Export L/C),

Produce the garments, export the garments and earn profit. To perform those functions suc-

cessfully needs lot of knowledge, experience & tremendous effort for a merchandiser. What

type of knowledge & experience needed for a garment merchandiser can be understood from

the next topic.

Duties & responsibilities of a garment merchandiser:

The major duties & responsibilities of a garment merchandiser are listed below:

1. Get contract sheet or product package and other requirements which buyer needs that

confirmed through email.

2. Then do the consumption of all fabric and accessories with the help of given product

package or specification sheet.

3. When all accessories and fabrics and whatever need than complete the costing of

garment.

4. Prepare T&A calendar.

5. Cost approval for all accessories, knitting, dyeing, printing, finishing from authority.

6. Master L/C from buyer.

of 172

7. Arrange to open back to back L/C for all suppliers.

8. Color standard to prepare lab-dip.

9. Then lab-dip submitted for approval.

10. Receive size and color breakdown for the confirmed order to procure all fabric and

accessories.

11. Develop and obtain approval for all accessories.

12. Ensure received fabric as per quantity, quality, and color.

13. Ensure preparation and submission of all samples to specified destinations.

14. Ensure of all lab test as per schedule date and time.

15. Ensure PP meeting on time.

16. Ensure all inspection.(In line, bulk, lot, pre-final)

17. Keep in touch in local buying office, buying house abroad.

18. Keep update schedule.

19. Do constant monitoring

20. At last ensure relization of payment of shipped garments, constant monitoring for

garments in production. Develop all fabric, accessories, printing, and embroidery for

confirmed order.

21. Do costing for new orders and source buyers for future order.

Fig: A part of Merchandising section of Ananta

Knowledge & skillness requirement for a garments

merchandiser:

As mentioned in 1.04 about the duties and responsibilities of a garment merchandiser, it is

clear that, to perform successfully those duties & responsibilities, sufficient related know-

ledge & skillness of a merchandiser is most necessary. To acquire knowledge & skillness.

Institutional support is essential. However a brief guide about the knowledge & skillness re-

quirement of a garments merchandiser is pointed out below.

Should be a smart person with fluent speaking, reading & writing ability in Eng-

lish language.

Should be a technically sound person having clear conception about textile fibre,

yarn, fabric, dyeing, printing, finishing, garments manufacturing, garment wash-

ing, garments dyeing. Textile testing. Textile product & Raw materials inspection

and quality control.

Should have clear knowledge about procurement/ collection of an export order.

of 172

Should have the ability to plan & execute time schedule.

Should have the ability to make liaison w i th buyer & production people.

Should have clear knowledge about garments shipment formalities.

Should have clear knowledge about banking & commercial formalities.

Should have clear knowledge about sourcing of raw materials.

Should have clear knowledge about garment costing & raw materials consump-

tion calculation.

Should have self motivated hard working ability.

Should be able to maintain commitment.

Procurement of garments exports order:

The most critical work is the procurement of garment export order. Normally garments ex-

port order is found from the potential garment importers called garment buyer. Anybody

wants to collect garments export order, should be able to convince the buyer. When the buy-

er is convinced about garment production, garments quality, garments costing and garment

delivery/shipment ability of a garments exporter, he or she can think about issuing a gar-

ments export order. To convince the buyer it is better if you can visit his/her office in abroad

with your produced some sample garments & company profile. Even it will be more helpful,

if you can invite & arrange the visit of your prospective buyer to your office, factory to see

production facility, product quality, so that the buyer gets confidence about your garments

export ability.

Without clear confidence among buyer & exporter from both sides, may be a risky business

deal. If a garment exporter can continuously deal with only t w o or three buyer with buyers

satisfaction, it will be sufficient enough to run garment production & garment export busi-

ness smoothly round the year.

Consumption for fabric and trims booking:

Bulk Fabric After getting order Technical section send YY by making marker.

Then a merchandiser finds out from YY how much fabric will need per piece.

Then by using calculator measure the bulk fabric requirement.

Suppose garments Quantity = 4000 pcs.

YY = 0.55 yd

Bulk fabric Requirement = 4000×0.55 = 2200 yds

2200 yds × 6%+ = 2332 yds

Let, 2400 yds fabric will be booked. Extra amount of fabric will be remaining for safety ofany accidental purpose.

ZipperDifferent types of zipper will be used for different sizes such as 2˝, 2.5˝, 2.75˝, 3.0˝.

For size 2˝ (For pant, short pant, Bermuda, Capri)

For skirt = Infant(2.5˝){6-12,12-18,18-24months}

Toddler(2.75˝){2T-5T}

Zipper Requirement = Garments quantity ×6%+ =Ans.

4000pcs×6%+ = 4240 pcs

So, let zipper will be booked approximately 4300 pcs.

Button(Plastic Button)Garments quantity×80%×2 = ÷144 × 10%+ = Ans.

Consumption of elasticGarments Quantity×80%×0.56×7%+ = Ans

Consumption of Hanger And SizerHanger needs for Brand-e + Canada-e. No hanger is remaining in online.

Garments Quantity (Brand-e+Canada-e) × 2%+ = Ans.

There is different sizer for Brand-e And Canada-e.

Consumption Of Joker LabelGarments Quantity×10%+ = Ans.

of 172

Consumption of Main Label and Care LabelGarments quantity ×6%+ =Ans.

Consumption of Diaper FabricDiaper fabric is need from 6-12 to 2T.

Garments quantity ×50%×0.25+ =Ans.

Consumption of Snap and Shank buttonQuantity of snaps in a garment×6%+ = ÷144 = Ans.

Sampling for GAP before and after order confirmation:

Before order confirmation:

1. LA sample ( Line adoption ): Need to send for buyers approval to place final or-

der. Need to follow 1St BOM for fabrics and trims details.

Execution of garments exports order:

After receiving the garment export order, without wasting any time, it is essential to

prepare a time schedule for the jobs to be done for safe execution of the export order.

The main jobs for the execution of an export order are as follows.

Detail analysis of export L/C.

Preparation of a time schedule for the export L/C.

Collection/Procurement of fabric & accessories for the garment to be ex-

ported. [Source, quantity of items, cost of the items, receiving date of the

items, quality and quantity, inspection of the items, etc.]

Distribution of responsibilities for the jobs & duties.

Production plan.

Inspection of the produced garments for quality, quantity, packing & other

requirements of the buyer.

Preparation of banking & shipment formalities.

Continuous follow-up of progress.

Others.

Normally one person, called garments merchandiser is engaged & given responsi-

bility for a particular garment export order (L/C). A garment merchandiser should

monitor all the jobs related to execution of an export order. He/she should also

maintain continuous liaison with the garment exporter & garment importer to in-

form continuous progress of the garment export order.

Progress of garment production quantity with required quality level within sche-

duled time is the most important & critical job of the garments merchandiser. Hence,

thorough knowledge is essential for a garment merchandiser for successful execution of

the export order. With the change of time, now a days, garments quality became very

important. To maintain the produced garments with required quality level, it is essential

to start from fibre, yarn, fabric, dyeing, printing, finishing, garment production, gar-

of 172

ments inspection & quality control, testing, garment washing/dyeing, garments finish-

ing, packing etc. technical affairs. A brief discussion on those technical areas is dis-

cussed systematically. To understand the discussion of the subsequent chapters, theoret-

ical & practical cooperation of others may be helpful for easy understanding. You can

help \ our-self for easy understanding if you go through the book systematically.

L/C (Letter of credit):

Letters of Credit (L/C) is in general a conditional document extended by the bank

in connection with presentation of export value, L/C plays a very dominant role in this

matter, on receipt of this document from the buyer, the exporters become sure that they

would obtain foreign currency after the peaceful shipment of the Consignment directed

by the buyer in the L/C. And for monetary transactions in this connection the negotiat-

ing banks stand as a symbol of surety for the exporters. Negotiating bank act on behalf

of the exporter and is held liable or responsible for realization of exporter's money from

the L/C opening bank.

A credit may be advised to a beneficiary through another bank (the advising bank)

without engagement on the part of the advising bank, but that bank shall take reasona-

ble care to check the apparent authenticity of the credit which it advises.

Negotiation Skills:

One of the most important skills a buyer and a saler must muster is the ability to nego-

tiate. As most high street fashion selling prices are very competitive, the greatest scope for

improving profit in a product is the reduction of cost price. There are many factors that in-

of 172

fluence the final cost price of a product including fabric, garment construction, order vo-

lume, lead-time, and delivery terms these particular issues are discussed in more detail

throughout the book.

Negotiation is a process of communication and exchange through which the interested

parties make a series of demands and compromises: it involves the trading of benefits be-

tween parties. The basic principle is to trade what is of low value to you but of greater value

to the other party, thereby reducing the cost of success to you. However the aim of a negoti-

ation should be to ensure that both parties are happy w i t h the final outcome or agreement,

otherwise one or the other w i l l not continue to participate.

The old scenario of the retailer a l w a ys w i n n i n g and supplier a l w a ys losing results in

both parties effectively losing. Traditionally, the dominant fashion retail groups have seen

t h e availability of large numbers of supplies as a means of trading one off against another

to achieve a cheaper cost price. Consequently many of the suppliers who lost out ceased to

do business with those retailers again Short-term cost-price gains resulted in short-term rela-

tionships with many suppliers, with the end result being a large, unwieldy and diverse sup-

plier base operating as efficiently as it should.

By the same token an inexperienced buyer can be vulnerable to a supplier wanting to

secure an unreasonable cost price, resulting in the fashion retailer delisting them in the fu-

ture for being uncompetitive. As such it is no better for the supplier to be in a situation

where they are winning and the retailer is losing. The common wisdom about negotiation is

that both sides should aim to work together to achieve a mutually acceptable result, w hich is

usually referred to as a win-win situation.

The Process of Negotiation:

A successful negotiation outcome does not generally occur through luck, but by following

a clear process. The process reflects the different levels of knowledge of the subject of nego-

tiation, various parties and the w a y they communicate at various stages in the negotiation.

The following is an outline of steps essential to effective negotiation.

of 172

Researching the needs of both parties:

The greater the knowledge a buyer has of their own and the supplier's requirements, the

better able they are to construct an acceptable solution. The buyer must be clear about both

the department mark-up to be placed on the product cost price and the intended retail selling

price so that she or he can judge the viability of the supplier's products. She or he should al-

so have sufficient product construction knowledge to understand how changes can be made

to achieve better value in the product.

Frequently the supplier will make suggestions to try to bring the cost price closer to the

buyer's target. However an experienced buyer can speed up the process by making sugges-

tions which will be acceptable to her. Lead-time is another lever for negotiation with differ-

ing operational issues for both parties. If the buyer starts the sourcing process early enough

she may have enough time in hand to use extended lead-time as a bargaining tool.

The process of researching needs does not stop once the negotiation is underway as the

body language and facial expression of both parties will signal their reactions of the ongo-

ing discussion. Successful buyers will listen to and watch suppliers carefully, making judg-

ments about how to trade benefits with them. In addition to listening and observation skills,

buyers need to be able to use questions effectively. Open questions require a respondent to

elaborate, which may provide the buyer will valuable knowledge on how to proceed when

meeting a supplier. Closed questions can be used to generate specific responses.

Preparation:

Effective preparation is also vital to successful communication. The particular preparation

required will vary according to the nature of meeting, but some factors are always important.

Meetings should begin on time and follow a clear agenda with a realistic amount of time to

accommodate the work. Where there is an existing relationship with a supplier, 'a file con-

taining the relevant notes and documentation relating to the order's should be read prior to

the meeting and taken in for reference. Supplier meeting are usually held in uncluttered or

empty rooms or offices to avoid any distraction from the business of the meeting. It is also

of 172

usual for there to be two people from buying in the meeting so that buyer can have an objec-

tive view point available while personally involved in the negotiation.

It is essential that the buyer also has identified the maximum and minimum positions

that she will accept for a range of factors including.

Product Price Order Size Lead-time

Offer:

Having identified where the respective positions lie between them. The buyer and supplier

can make specific proposals to set the boundaries of the negotiation. It is unlikely that many

of the offers initially made will end up being accepted, so both parties allow for some man

oeuvre. This is the opportunity for the buyer to being trading what is of relatively low value

for her but of more value to the supplier.

Discussion:

The likely framework of a final settlement will emerge in the discussion as each side probes

the other and makes suggestions. Answers to suggestions can be revealing, with choice of

words and tone signaling interest of reluctance and should be noted as potential bargaining

material. There will be areas on which one side can move than more than the other and vice

versa it is important for the buyer to make a note of w which ones provide the greatest and

least opportunities for flexibility, for the trade off later on in the negotiation.

Counter and revised offers:

This is the real bargaining where elements of the order, such as numbers of units,

product details, lead-time and so on, are being decided in the context of an overall cost

price. The buyer should make firm proposals and be cautious of offering concessions un-

less she is getting one in return. The final element that will pull all of the other variables

together will be the cost price, which is agreed at the end. Although the bargaining may

of 172

be tough, the spirit of the communication should be remaining friendly and not adver-

sarial. Parities are more likely to cooperate if they are being treated fairly and reasona-

bly.

Agree and commitment:

Once the parties have agreed an order, they have to communicate the details to other

functions. The supplier may need to book production space, order fabric/trimmings and

source labels/tickets. The buyer will need to inform the merchandiser of the retail selling

value of the order so that a track can be kept on spending.

Summaries:

It is vital to summaries at key stages throughout the negotiation when significant points

are agreed, to avoid losing early gains as to ensure that both parties understand each oth-

er. With-so many potential variables included in the negotiation, small but significant

points can be easily forgotten unless there is a record of agreement throughout. Records

will also provide both sides with an explanation of how the deal was constructed should

a particular variable become contentious at a later date.

CHAPTER–XVSOCIAL & ENVIORNMENTAL

INFORMATION

of 172

Purpose of the Policy

As an organization expands, it develops norms, rules, regulations, and practices which be-

come the way of life for everyone within the organization. As the organization continues its

way to expansion, these norms and procedures that are typically followed, need to be written

down in the form of a policy manual so that everyone across the organization knows what

they are expected to do, and how they are expected to act or react under various situations. It

is with this main broad objective that, this policy manual has been prepared.

In addition, this manual has been prepared so that there is consistency in the way that the

management and employees respond to similar situations arising at different times and so that

those who join new into the company can also learn all these norms and general practices at a

time. This is also to help existing employees to refresh their memory about how to respond to

a situation in case, they have any confusion arising in their minds.

Furthermore, this policy is intended to help reduce time and stress involved on the manage-

ment end, in thinking on ways to solve a problem, whenever it arises, by providing pre-

formulated solutions to most typically arising contingencies. This is also intended to increase

fairness in treatment of all employees, or employees holding similar designations and to re-

duce the opportunity for any particular employee receiving undue advantages or benefits.

This policy is also intended to be a book that spells out the rights and privileges and also the

limitations that all employees have to be governed under as employees of ANANTA

GROUP. Thus, this can also be used as an instrument of defense by the employees, to protect

themselves, from unnecessary harsh action from the management end; as well on any occa-

sion and to protect themselves from being deprived in an unfair manner of any right or privi-

lege that they may be entitled to.

The spirit of a policy is that, it will be abided by even the top most echelons of the organiza-

tion, including the Chairman, and that all decisions of the company will be based on these, so

that the organization becomes a process and system dependant one, instead of being one

which depends on the whims and moods of anyone or some persons. This also helps to pre-

serve consistency over extended periods of time.

It needs to be said however, that exceptions to policies can be made, but there also, records

have to be maintained on what grounds the exception had been made. Also if the policies are

of 172

modified, which can happen to respond to changing needs of the organization, there has to be

proper cataloguing of why the modification was required and examples have to be cited to

ensure validity of the need for the modification.

Employment policy:

This policy is applicable for all the employees of ANANTA GROUP. Most sections also ap-

ply to the management and board of directors except where it is mentioned otherwise.

ANANTA GROUP will not make any discrimination in employment in favor or against a

candidate based on race, district of origin, gender, religion or any personal prejudice of HOD.

There will be no discrimination made in salary allocation based on any of the criteria men-

tioned above. However some jobs may require a candidate of a certain gender and only in

such cases can there be a preference made in choosing the candidate based on the gender cri-

teria.

Anti-Forced labor policy:

To maintain a pleasant and harmonious working environment. All staff and employee will be

required to provide a notice period before they leave, so that the company is able to find a

replacement or prepare for that situation. If the company compels someone wanting to leave

the company’s service, to serve out this notice period as specified above, and which the em-

ployee has agreed to by signing the appointment letter, then such compulsive measures can-

not be called “forced labor”. The company can ask the employee to sign a bond to ensure ser-

vice for a certain length of time only if the company provides any special training to the em-

ployee at some training institute or where the training was imparted by any external party

where additional cost was incurred. The company cannot force its employees to forgo any

government holiday that the company has declared as being ones that it will allow, in the an-

nual calendar. If any employee is made to work on any such day, then if he/she is a staff,

he/she would have to be paid a day’s basic salary for each day of declared government holi-

day forsaken. The company cannot force the employees to work on the weekends unless it is

as a compensation for a day that the company had been forced to remain closed, such as, for a

political disturbance. The company cannot force its employees to not take the leaves that they

of 172

are entitled to ( as elaborated in Leave Policy Section). They can ask the employee to not take

the leave and to receive a financial benefit equivalent to that day’s basic salary instead.

Zero discrimination and Harassment policy:

To practice fair and harassment free working environment in the work place. Company will

not consider race, religion, color, marital and maternal status during the recruitment process

and will abide government rules and regulations. Authority will strictly deal with any kind of

sexual harassment related issues from superiors toward the subordinates

The term harassment will include –

Unpleasant sign and gestures toward the person of opposite sex

Taking any sort of unfair advantage, in exchange of recruitment or other organiza-

tional benefits

Any sort of coarse and odd addressing toward the person of opposite gender

No one should physically abuse someone or force someone to do any specific work and also

should not allow others to undertake such activity.

Intern or trainee policy:

To lay down the hiring norms, procedures and appointment conditions for interns/ trainees.

To enable students of Management Schools to get practical exposure in the work environ-

ment. The organization gets an opportunity to build a rapport with its academic counterparts

and establish a mutually beneficial relationship with Business or Technical schools.

The company will recruit select numbers of interns/ trainees and offer them assignments

according to their specialization and availability of projects.

The duration of the internship/training will range from three to six months depending on

the extent of the project.

of 172

The company will offer a consolidated stipend per month to the internee/ trainees to meet

their incidental expenses in the city, which will be lesser than the regular pay given to an of-

ficer, unless the trainee is from a foreign country.

The project report prepared by the trainee intern shall only be used for academic purposes

and in no circumstances report should be accessible to any other institute, if the trainee is re-

quired to make such a report. The report that the trainee submits to his/her institute will first

have to be verified by the reporting supervisor for accuracy and also to ensure that no such

information is revealed which could be of strategic sensitivity to the company. After the veri-

fication, the trainee will have to submit a copy of his/her final report to HR Department, in

addition to his/her institution.

On completion of the Summer Project the trainee will have to make a presentation to

a selected top management group who may also decide the trainee’s candidature for final

placement/ employment in the 0rganization.

While on training or internship, the same policies will apply for all trainees as do to

all regular employees with regards to leave, punctuality, discipline etc.

They will not be entitled to any retirement benefits.

For exceptional performance, on completion of internship, the person can be eligible

for regular employment and his/her introductory period will be waived if he /she get selected

by the company.

For trainees on training, there will be a 2 week notice period either way, in case they

want to leave the company or if the company wants to discontinue his/her service.

If it is not possible to offer employment ,he/she may be compensated with a financial

reward, if the trainee was otherwise capable of being hired, but could not be simply for lack

of job-opening.

A trainee will be entitled to receive bonus equivalent to his/her monthly take home

salary if his/her traineeship period coincides with any of the 2 festivals.

an opportunity to compare the theoretical knowledge with practical facts and thus develop

our knowledge and skills. This industrial training also gives us an opportunity to enlarge our

knowledge of textile administration, production planning, procurement system, production

process, and machineries and teach us to adjust with the industrial life.

We have found ourselves fortunate to have our industrial training at ANANTA. It has a huge

production capacity with a very efficient production team. ANANTA has very good, well

equipped and modern Machineries and producing a wide range Product. During our training

period we have noticed that ANANTA is very concern about their quality and they rarely

have any quality complain. The management of ANANTA is very organized, pre-active and

co-operative.

At the end of the day we realized that industrial training make our knowledge’s application
