RMG industry is considered as the back bone of the country's economy-The main strength of RMG sector in Bangladesh is poorly paid garment workers. This article depicts the wages level, age group, gender, family life and working hours of workers in RMG industries in Bangladesh. It is notable that the living situation of garments workers may change last couple of years. Nowadays their children also go to school & they can serve their old parents. Already government fixed the minimum wages for their better standard of living. Though it is not sufficient but it is improving.

Fashion garments and apparels have been used everywhere to cope with the fashion era. These fashion garments and apparels are made of the fabrics of various structures and components through various processes. Among them gabardine is one of the most remarkable type of fabric and apparel dyeing is the latest process used for fashion apparel. From this research, the seam strength variations between dyed and un-dyed gabardine apparels after conceding the garment dyeing process can be known. It is a comparative research work which will deliver very effective knowledge about various types of seam, seam strength and seam performance. For comparative study, many dummy apparels body have been produced as samples which are dyed in Hams washing and dyeing limited. After that all samples have tested in Thermax woven dyeing laboratory. Since Bangladesh is a very potential fashion market and the fashion garments are being manufactured more and more. Hence the fashion trend is rapidly going to garments dyeing from conventional fabric/yarn dyeing processes. Gradually garments dyeing order are increasing higher to higher.

With precious value and scarce capabilities, human resources are considered as a source of sustainable and highly competitive advantage in the organization. The success of an organization depends upon several elements and factors but the most important factor and elements that affects the organization performance is its employee and employers relationship. Human resources play an integral role in attaining an innovative and high-quality product/ service. This paper attempts to propose a conceptual framework relationship of five human resources management (HRM) practice like supervision, job training, and pay practices, job satisfaction, turnover, absenteeism and to explain and connect the relationships among these variables. Performances appraisal is an important tools to evaluate the job performance of a particular worker. A Job performance and productivity means employee performance relates to the production and productivity of a company that you have desired to get in. Job performances are significantly related with the job satisfaction, Job performances and Absenteeism and turnover. Job satisfaction is played an important role to employees' turnover and absenteeism because it would lead employee resigned, pre-retired from the organization when their job satisfaction level is low. The outcomes of HRM practice a positively and significantly correlated with job satisfaction. Job satisfaction retains the present employees and attracts the competent employees that relates to the higher productivity and organizational long-term performances. On the other hand HRM practice and job satisfaction are negatively correlated with Absenteeism and turnover. However, the results of HRM practice, Job performances and job satisfaction are strong predictors of Absenteeism and turnover.

Today human being does not only meet this basic need, but also inclined to more fashion garments. They are introducing new and more fashion items on a regular basis to cope with the present era. That's why the RMG (Ready Made Garment) sector is running to its full swing with a huge variety of fashions. Bangladesh is one of the most promising garments manufacturing country in the present world now. It is now 2 nd largest textile and garments exporter in the world market. Textile and RMG sector is the core portion of this country's national economy as it earns nearly 81% foreign currencies from RMG sector [1]. It's now a crying need and todays demand to prepare a best RMG sector so that it can meet the growing demand more effectively. Besides, today's market is much more competitive and the only driving factor to sustain in this market is nothing but quality. So ensuring quality in RMG sector is the burning question now. To ensure this crucial factor (quality) there are so many tools and techniques have been emerged and implemented now-a-days. Among them the smartest and latest technique is Total Quality Management (TQM) Principles. By implementing TQM effectively, a production environment can be ensured which delivers quality products. In this research it will be pulled out, why TQM principles are vital and what the effects of implementing TQM in the apparel industry.

Total Quality Management (TQM) practices are primarily found in larger and multinational organizations, but little has been written on how TQM has been applied in small and medium textile industries of Bangladesh. This research reports the results of a full survey conducted among a sample of the local textile and apparel industry in Bangladesh. The survey is expected to reveal the level of TQM implementation in the industrial sector via a postal questionnaire. The survey covered 50 textile and apparel industries chosen from different industrial zone like Gazipur, Savar, Narayanganj-the prominent industrial area from Bangladesh and produced a very remarkable response rate. The survey findings are analyzed using a statistical analysis package SPSS 20.0. Various remarkable variables of TQM implementation have been thoroughly studied and discussed. Using the statistical analysis, among these variables, a TQM implementation framework has been proposed and implemented in a renowned textile industry named Knit Asia Ltd. Attempts at finding significant differences between the industries having and not having Quality system implemented were successful. It also revealed areas lacking and challenges in implementation among textile and apparel industries in Bangladesh. Bangladeshi textile and apparel sector must be able to adopt TQM to help them meet global challenges in the long run.
