CHAPTER ONE:
INTRODUCTION:
1.1 Introduction
Textile & garments sector is the biggest and fastest growing sector in Bangladesh.
Textiles and clothing will always be essential goods for human beings. Spinning and
weaving were the main activities that drove the industrial revolution in the 18th
century. Since then the textile industry has been a leading industry in the initial phases
of industrialization in many countries and in different periods of time in the world.
Bangladesh in an important producer & exporter of knit RMG product, There are
about 4500 garments factories running in Bangladesh. Growth of garments factories
started in Bangladesh around1980. But now nearly 79% of our foreign currency is
earned from RMG. At present Bangladesh is producing & exporting more than 60
items of garments. Garments are exported to USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, Middle
East and many other countries in the world. Cheapest labor cost is the biggest
advantages for Bangladeshi garments producers & exporters. Science is going to be
flourished day by day. Almost every invention becomes successful due to the
development of science. Technology, the modified segment of science makes the
thing possible, which was impossible yesterday. Education provides important
leanings of the modern inventions & the theories and also gives me a combined
knowledge over theoretical and practical studies. Literatures provide the right
information which I have been learned through my university. On the other hand
practical knowledge increases the practices of theoretical perception clear and more
efficient. Internship has made these opportunities. Because I have learned theoretical
knowledge last four years but due to lack of proper industrial knowledge on my
course, I would not been said a complete engineer. Industrial attachment did work for
me. I have taken part in this industries attachment in NZ Group Growth Industrial
attachment is an important and essential part of 4 year B.Sc. in Knitwear Manufacture
and Technology (KMT). Actually industrial attachment is the practical experience for
every Textile Engineer which is needed to be familiar not only the industry but also
all over the necessary job related to continue in any industry. During student life a
student cannot know about the practical condition so its badly needed for every
student for attain for the industrial attachment .The NZ Group is truly an excellent
industry from our point of view. All types of modern technology are well arranged
here. Every section in here helps us so much by giving information during our
training period which was unbelievable. Especially IT Department maintain the
Management Information System a vital role for the companies smooth operation and
development, we are so satisfied and lucky student to complete our Industrial
Attachment in NZ Group. We think this Industrial Attachment will be outstanding
helpful in our future career.

• In order to promote the new style in the market normally buyer asks
for photo shoot sample.
• Buyer uses this photo for marketing purpose either on catalogue or
various media like, print, TV or websites to see the response of the consumer.
Sales man / Marketing /Showroom sample
• The main purpose of salesman sample is to collect the order from the
retailers.
• In Sales man sample actual accessory, actual fabric is used or sample
yardage need to be used.
• This sample also very important stage of sampling as the sales of buyer
depends upon this sample presentation, look, feel of fabric is important.
Size set sample
• The main purpose of size set sample is to check the factory's capability
to make the sample in all sizes
• 1-2 samples (or quantity specified by buyer) of each size need to send
to buyer.
GPT sample (Garment Performance Test)
• The main purpose of GPT is to perform the physical and chemical
testing on garment to ensure the performance of the garment.
• GPT Sample is sent to 3rd party inspection and results are sent to both
factory as well as buyer.
• The tests done on garments are: Shrinkage, Color Fastness, Seam
performance etc.
Pre- production sample
• PP sample is considered to be a contract between the buyer and the
factory.
• It has to be made in original fabric and trims
• Washing, embroidery and printing should match to actual.
• PP Sample is the standard for production and bulk production garments
should be identical to PP sample.
Wash sample
• Wash sample is made and submitted to buyer for assessment of feel
and handle of fabric after washing.
TOP sample (Top of Production)
• The top of production is sent to the buyer as soon initial pieces are
come out of sewing line.

The definition of cutting is very complex. In garments industries fabric is cut from lay
and spreading with accuracy and properly which is termed as fabric cutting. Marker
outline is used to cut the fabric. Fabric cutting is very important as if something is cut
in wrong way, cannot be rectified.
3.7.1 Spreading and Cutting
Types of Spread used:
 The fabric is spread back to back.
 The width of a fabric or lay is defined by the fabric diameter as developed by the
knitting department in correspondence with some predetermined calculations by
the Merchandising department, which is done with repeat to the order
specifications given by the buyer.
 Even the lay length is not fixed and is done or calculated while laying the fabric
by trial and error method.
 Only one thing is considered beforehand i.e. the number of bodies derived from
one layer should be complete and none of its parts should come from the next
layer.

Marker Type:
 Non-sectional marker is used irrespective of either order or style.
 The marker length is not pre-determined and a particular order style may have
more than 1 spreads each with different marker lengths.
 The merchandising department pre-determines the marker width with reference to
the fabric width.
 Marker is drawn on the top layer of fabric with contrasting chalks and sometimes
even with pen. Therefore if the order size requires more than one spreads than the
marker is developed that many times.
 Marker efficiency is not checked, thus there is no effort to gain or control marker
efficiency.
 Since pattern pieces are few and simple we can use sectional markers as even non-
sectional markers do not have very high efficiency. Pre-determined splice
points/lines reduce wastage due to splicing.
 Workers should be aware of splicing at defext areas and leave such allowances
during cutting.

Infrastructure: There are 11 cutting tables.


Bundling/ ticketing:
It is always taken care that there are 25-30 pieces in a bundle according to ISO: 9001
norms. A ticket is attached to each of the bundles, which has the following
parameters;
 The tickets are made of scrap fabric and the band knife is used to cut them in
equal sizes.
 There is separate table/zone for ticketing.
 The bundles are made according to specification and put into a lay to ensure that
there is no problem of shade variation.

MIS:
 The cutting in charge receives the fabric order sheet for each order from the
merchandising department with the details of number of colors, the size details
and the number of bodies to be laid along the width of the fabric.
 A gate pass is issued by the fabric store before any lot of fabric is passed to the
cutting department.
 A daily production report of number of pieces cut per style of garment in terms of
size and color is maintained.
Sewing

NOTES:
 The entire production system is based on the coordination between the three
production managers and the production General Manager.
 There is a system of periodic inline checking.
 Helper to operator ratio is 1:1 at some points it is even 2:1.
 There is a system for grading of operators.
MIS:
 Buyer wise production registers are maintained.
 Monthly production registers.
 Input register.
 Line capacity planning.

3.7.5 Cutting Process Description:
Cutting Planning:
Cutting Room Planning is very important and should be done for every order. Good
planning helps in better utilization of available resources and improving cutting room
efficiencies. The cutting plan should be made well in advance to allocate resources
and check on fabric availability & flow for the planned cutting.
Various things that should be kept in mind while making cutting plan are:
 Requirements of sewing room
 Availability & flow of raw-material i.e. fabric
 Available Manpower

Cutting Work order:


The planning department issues a cutting work order to the cutting department for
commencing cutting for any particular order. The work order states the size wise
quantity to be cut in that style and the fabric required for the total quantity mentioned
in the work order. The cutting In-charge makes a daily cutting plan for the work order
quantity and does the resource allocation. The work order also gives an estimate of
the fabric that should be taken from the fabric store.

Fabric Receipt:
The cutting room in charge requests fabric from the fabric store based on the daily
cutting plan made by the cutting room executive. The fabric is requested using Fabric
Requisition Slip format. The cutting room helper gets the fabric from the stores &
transfers it to cutting room with the help of fabric movement trolley. The fabric
received is stored in the fabric racks within the cutting-room.

Fabric Relaxation:
The fabric received in the roll form should be relaxed for at least 12 hours under
standard conditions before spreading. This is done in order to take out any tension in
the fabric imparted during finishing or winding so as to avoid any distortion while
spreading or cutting.
Marker Request:
The Cutting Executive requests the marker from the CAD department on a format
called CAD Marker Requisition Slip. The details of the fabric (e.g. width) received
from fabric store needs to be provided to the CAD room for marker so that the
provided marker could be adjusted as per the received fabric to minimize wastage.

Spreading & Marking:


Before Spreading, the lay plan should be prepared & a lay order slip is generated by
the cutting executive. The lay order slip provides all relevant details to the spreader
for the lay i.e. style, fabric width, no. of plies, marker way, consumption for that lay
etc. The spreader has to follow the lay-order slip for considerations during spreading
& if she founds any deviations in the actual, it should be reported to the cutting
executive. After the spreading is done, the lay should be checked by the QC and a
format called Cutting Room Inspection Report is generated. After the lay is cleared by
the QC, it goes for next operation i.e. marking. The marking could be done manually
by patterns or paper marker could be fixed on top ply to make it ready.

Cutting:
The ready to cut lay is moved onto the area allocated for cutting within the spreading
& cutting table. Air-flotation table is used for easy movement of lays. The cutter cuts
the lay with the straight-knife along the marker lines. For any small parts or sharp
turns, where precision can’t be achieved by straight knife, the parts can be taken to
band knife after block-cutting. For some styles (e.g. engineered stripes) where lay
cutting is not possible due to matching of stripes, single piece cutting is done with the
help of scissors.

Numbering & Bundling:


Once the lay is cut the cut parts are numbered, all parts that makes one complete
garments are given same number so as to avoid any mismatching of shade. After
numbering the pieces are bundled into a group of certain pieces. The size of the
bundle is decided by the cutting-room in charge, in discussion with the sewing floor
in charge.
Quality Audit:
All bundles need to be audited for quality before issuing to the sewing lines. Quality
audit on the bundled garments is done by the cutting-room auditor who checks the
bundles for bundle ticket descriptions, correct sequence of ply numbers, presence of
all parts etc. mentioned in the format. The second audit checks for the pieces w.r.t. the
shade matching, notch positioning, etc. These audits are conducted following the
AQL chart specifications & a format called Cutting Section Bundle Audit is filled.

Issue to the Sewing Line:


The cut bundles are issued to the sewing line on request from sewing line supervisor.
Detail for issued pieces is maintained in the Cutting Issue Register. The cutting issue
register records the size wise issue to each line for a particular order. Along with the
bundles the cutting department also gives to the sewing line a format called
Production Issue Slip containing details of the bundles issued like bundle no, size, no
of pieces etc.

Sewing is the most important step of garments manufacturing. Sewing is the way of
joining of garments components with the help of needle and thread. Sewing section is
the biggest and the busiest section in a garment industry. It is a universal & widely
used method of joining fabrics. The main purpose of sewing is to produce seam.
There are four general types of sewing machines: single-needle machines, over lock
machines, blind-stitch machines, and specialized machines.

3.11.1 Sewing
 All the machines in the sewing floor should have a particular serial no and it should
match with the serial no. on the stand.
 The people in charge of the machine maintenance should reach the sewing
floor 30 mins before the production starts to check for any machine related
problem.
 After the completion of each day’s work a piece of cloth must be put beneath the
presser foot and kept till the next day’s work starts to check for any oil leakage.
 The person in charge of the machine maintenance of a particular line must check
for the following: -
 If there is oil leakage in any machine, then that machine should immediately be
replaced.
 The thread tension and the presser foot thrust should be checked daily and
modified if they are not perfect.
 Repair the defective machines as quickly as possible.
 All the machines on the floor should be in running condition.
 The preventive maintenance schedule must be followed and the maintenance chart
s to be approved by the production manager of that sewing section.
 The line chief should ensure the next day’s input from the cutting dept. at the end
of each day’s work. The required approval sheet should be signed by the planning
officer.
 There should never be shortage of input for the sewing lines.
 At least the number of pieces input per line per day must be 20% more than the
required output to get the required output.
 In an ideal situation at least two days pre sewing balance for each line must be
there at the helm of each sewing line.
 For each new style or even a running style the trims and accessories must be
ensured first and even the size and care labels must be at the disposal of the line
chief.
 In each line there should be 2-3 such helpers who can operate machines so that
they can act as replacements in case of operator absenteeism.
 Before the start of bulk production, the necessary folders must be attached to the
machine
 Before the issuance of folders, the concerned line chief and the maintenance dept.
officer must sign on the register in the maintenance dept. The same procedure is to
be followed while returning the folder.
 Spare needles and extra sewing thread cones should be there at the disposal of the
line chief so that no time is wasted for needle breakage or changing the cone.

Reducing lead time in order execution


We made an attempt to identify specific causes of delay at each stage of order
execution in a vertically integrated set-up.
Pre- production activity:
• Lack of clarity regarding customer requirement. (Sampling and
merchandising)
• Lack of technical understanding regarding form and fit of the garment
resulting in repeated rework and communication.
• Poor planning especially in prioritizing sample delivery schedules.

 Industrial engineering:
• Loss in production due to non-availability of work-aids when a new
style hits the bulk production.
• Inaccurate s.m.v. hampers accurate capacity studies.
• No history record of the problem faced at the product development
stage.

 Purchase Department:
• Delays caused in receiving trims from vendors.
• Delays caused in approval of trims.

 Administration:
• Delays caused due to manual task of generating hard copies for
authorization.

 Production:
• Delays caused due to high operator absenteeism.
• Delays caused due to non-availability of required skill labor.

Identifying solutions
 Development of a sample requisition checklist.
 Improving flow of buyer information between merchandising and product
development teams.
 Speed up fit-approval process by using buyer approved dress forms.
 Record problems at sampling stage. Problems with appropriate solutions
should form a style history record.
 IE department should work out exact requirements of work-aids for critical
operations before anew style hits the floor.
 Pilot run for a new style should be executed on the same assembly line as
planned for bulk production.
 Reduce high rate of internal rejections by treating internal customers through a
debit system.
 Develop reliable vendor base.
 Change process of manual approval to electronic approval system.
 Use incentives to counter absenteeism and encourage multi-skilling of
operators.

3.12.1 Activities of the finishing department are listed below

1. Thread Trimming:
In stitching department thread trails and thread chains are not trimmed neatly. Uncut
threads and thread tails in garments are trimmed in the finishing department by
helpers. Uncut and loose threads on garments are considered defects.

2. Checking garments:
All garments are checked at the finishing stage for visuals and measurement.
Finishing checkers check the complete garment inside and out. Checking is done for
garment detailing, such as care labeling, and trims.

3. Button attach and Butting holing:


Products those have trimming like button, snap button, eyelets are attached in
finishing section.

4. Removing stains:
Stains and spots are found on garments. Spots are removed using a hand spot gun or
by using a stain removing machine prior to pressing. Dust and stains can be removed
by machine washing. So, many times finishing department wash garments inside
department.

5. Repair work and mending


Defective garments may need to repair for stitching and fabric defects. All repair
activities are done in finishing department itself instead of sending defective garments
to stitching department.

6. Ironing garments:
Garments are ironed using a steam iron. This is done to remove creases in the
garment. For knitted garments measurements are set by steam press. Vacuum pressing
tables are used for garment pressing.

7. Folding and tagging:


Pressed garments are folded in a specified dimension. Tags, such as price tags and
hang tags are attached to the garment by means of a Kimble gun or threads.

8. Packing garments:
Finally, properly folded garments are packed into poly bags as per customer
requirements. Individual poly bags are then packed into bigger cartons.

9. Preparation of packing list:


The packing in-charge prepares a packing list for the shipment. After packing is
completed for an order, the finishing department informs the concerned merchant.

10. Internal shipment audits


Quality department perform internal shipment audit in the finishing department. This
audit is done prior to final inspection.

11. Documentation and reporting


Like other departments, finishing department maintain production records for
pressing, and packing.

Merchandising department sends the purchase order sheet

Store receives the order with the buyer name, style no. from the fabric finishing department

The store manager confirms the cutting-in-charge and the concerned merchandiser about the receiving of th

Cutting in charge informs about his requirement of fabric of any particular style of clothing.

The store manager issues the fabric and enters in his register and gets it signed by the cutting in charg

The rolls of fabric to be issued are again inspected for fabric defects and all defects are marked.

Then the gate challan for that issued fabric is generated which is held as a document supporting that iss

This is done to ensure that the spreading and cutting workers don’t have to waste time
in locating the defects while spreading the fabric. This was not present before. That
area was occupied for the style-wise bundling recording area.

Store manager
Store assistant manager
There is a mechanical scale in the store as knit fabrics are issued in measures of
weight and not of roll.

There is a shortage of space in the store so a lot of fabric is dumped on the fabric
finishing area thereby causing problems in movements through the aisles as well as
making the floor clumsy in appearance.
Proper ventilation is not available.

Accessory Store
Sewing Thread Details:
 Sewing thread used is mainly cotton-polyester blend.
 The thread (Grey) is mainly sourced from SAXI International China and sometimes
India.

Sewing thread is procured in Lacchi form

Then the thread is dyed in house in the required color as specified by the Testing lab

Then Hanks of sewing thread is made

Finally coning of yarns is done.


1 Cone (2500 -4000 meters)

Needle inventory:
The store has 22 types of needles which are required at different stages of production.
There are two different slips for operators who break needles one which is given to
the line supervisor – for broken needle whose broken part is lost and for needles
whose broken part is damaged.
Averages of 200-300 needles are issued daily.
UY-9, DC-9, DB-9 is consumed the maximum.
They always keep an inventory cushion of one week for the process of giving the
requisition to the accounts department and receiving the needles.

3.14 Problems Identified And Their Respective Solutions
Problems identified in the cutting department
 Absence of proper records (availability, consumption, style history).
 Absence of market planning.
 Cut-order plan not well defined.
 No concept of a stepped lay.
 Round knife is not available.
 Internal quality check is not satisfactory.
 Optimum use of spreading machine.
Proposed solutions
 Proper documentation needs to be implemented.
 The proposed ERP system should be able to create detailed style histories.
Mid-level management should be instructed in the use of the system.
 The company has recently implemented a CAD software solution. The marker
plans should be saved on a centralized server for ready access. For marker plan to
be efficiently executed the diameter and the Fabric shrinkage should be regulated
from the beginning of the supply chain.
 During production planning there should be an adequate plan to utilize
maximum similar marker plans on optimum lay heights to minimize wastage.
 New concepts such as stepped lays may be introduced.
 Introduction of cutting tools such as round knives and Computer Aided
Manufacture (CAM) may be justified to maximize efficiency from the department
 Optimize the use of spreading machine as it reduces spreading time especially
over longer lays and reduces manpower.
 The cutting department MUST NOT cut any fabric without the assurance of
quality managers who must decide whether a fabric conforms to buyer
specifications.
 Give special care to striped and check fabrics.
Problems faced by the sewing department
 High rate of labour migration.
 Different layouts are implemented for the same style of garment.
 Skill inventory is not maintained.
 Helper : Operator ratio is high.
 High rate of inline and final rejections.
 Pieces are altered within the line itself destroying the line balance.
 Preventive quality assurance is not done.
 There are no defined roles for line supervisors and chiefs who act as additional
helpers.
Proposed solutions
 Productivity based incentive plans must be implemented.
 Standardize layouts for similar garments.
 Skill inventory should be maintained.
 Attitude towards work should be changed, as more helpers result in lesser
productivity.
 Operator training should be introduced.
 There should be alternative machines within the line plan for alters.
 Implement preventive quality assurance.
 Define exhaustive duties for line supervisors and chiefs.
Proposed solutions
 There should be scientific procedures to know the capability of a line, the
bottlenecks should be considered, the number of workstations should be
considered.
 Work study officers should be familiar with terms like WIP, throughput, PFD,
SAM, standard, normal, scheduling, skill inventory etc.
 A basic idea about the SMV should be gained during the sampling….proper
SMV is really necessary to show us the actual results
 Layouts for specific styles should be provided by the work study department
and they should tally with the requirements of the production department
Other problems
 CM earnings as shown in the report is not accurate.
 Crisis control measures are not implemented
 Lack of information flow between various departments.
 Canteen for workers yet not established
 Overtime is almost a daily practice
Proposed solutions
 The merchandising and accounts department should coordinate to provide a
CM earning which should vary from style to style and not only buyer to buyer.
 Proper agendas should be there for emergency cases like generator breakdown
 All the departments should coordinate rather than blaming each other.
 Overtime to be minimized.

Line balancing:
Line Balancing is to share work, to support in another operation, to shift manpower
according to their capacity for equal production in every point.
Balancing is a subject that relates to every decision taken on the production floor.
It is a very important topic that we will cover in detail.
Balancing method is very essential to make the production flow almost smoother
compare to their previous layout. Considering working distance, type of machines
and efficiency, workers who have extra time to work after completing their works,
have been shared their work to complete the bottleneck processes.
An ideal production line is that where there is no time wastage and no bottlenecks. A
balance production line is that where production from all the operation is
completely balanced and there is no bottleneck.

Why Line balancing is necessary?


 To get easily output, it is necessary.
 To get best performance of the workers, it is necessary.
 To ensure of proper use of time & manpower, it is necessary.
 To follow up the line easily, it is necessary.
 To give the pressure to workers for optimum output, it is Necessary.
 To know the line’s potential capacity of the line, it is necessary.
 To find out the productivity gap%, it is necessary.
 To take the next step for higher productivity at need the line balancing
 report it is necessary.
 To get higher productivity so much necessary.
Planning Department:
When the factory gates a new order planning department needs to follow up
some very important points those are given below –
 Before start sewing, select sewing line and fixed target to sit with IE & Production
AGM.
 Before start production ensure size set measurement repot.
 After correction pattern given 1st line before ¾ days to give the other line.
 Given schedule to all department like Sewing, Cutting, Washing &Finishing
section.
 Before start sewing ensure fabric and trim in-house status.
 After start 1st line, ensure initial inspection within 3 days & before bulk cutting
should not give others line.
 Ensure to give production sample before 1 week to 1st shipment.
 Ensure denim & over dye process garments production 5-7 days before

3.17 Compliance System
Bangladesh has emerged as a key player in RMG (Ready Made Garment) sector since
1978. Textiles and clothing account for about 85% of total export earnings of
Bangladesh. Out of which, 76% comes from the apparel sector which covers the
major products of knit and woven shirts, blouses, trousers, skirts, shorts, jackets,
sweaters, sports wears and many more casual and fashion items.
The pivotal factor in the apparel industry is the workforce i.e. the sewing operators,
the helpers, cutting masters, pattern makers, finishers etc. Bangladesh is endowed
with abundant and cheap labor force that is easily trainable and convertible into semi-
skilled and skilled workforce
Quality of goods exported from Bangladesh has always been questioned by the
foreign buyers due to lack of experience and awareness of Garment manufacturers
associated in the trade. In order to export readymade garments, it is not only the
quality parameters which are important towards acceptance of the product as per the
intended end use, but also the working environment in which the garments are to be
produced, is equally important so that sweatshop concept is totally taken care of and
the code of conduct must be stretched towards achieving the objectives of social
compliance issues.
The core areas of social accountability are, basically, based on the principles of
international human rights, local culture and tradition. The prime objective of the
system is to protect the human rights in readymade garment industries.
Social Accountability:
In today’s fast changing global market, it is not only the quality of garments which
cherished the retailers and manufacturers but also the working environments of the
organization wherein the products were produced. Those are equally important to gain
and strengthen consumer confidence and to build-up more reliable relationships with
vendors. In other words, specific code of conduct that protects the basic human rights
of the workforce engaged in the trade is to be respected to satisfy consumers and to
add social value to the product. Basic awareness of the social accountability helps to
understand and monitor the compliance part of it in protecting the image of a
particular brand of product. In order to do so, the reputed and leading market players
in the garment trade have imposed compulsion on the related factories to achieve
those objectives as a condition of the export contract. Even the exports were either
withheld or cancelled elsewhere in the event of non-compliance to such issues.
Code of Conduct (COC):
Social Accountability standards have been developed by the international
organizations such as Fair Labor Association (FLA), Worldwide Responsible Apparel
production (WRAP) ,Councilon Economic Priorities Accreditation Agency (CEPAA),
The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) and Business for Social Responsibility (BSR).
Reputed brand buyers in large supply chain have taken the guideline from those
organizations and formulated their own standard of COC and also the acceptance
criteria.
The basic principles of COC have been derived from the principles of international
human rights norms as delineated in International Labor Organization Conventions,
the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights.
It has nine core areas to be addressed upon. These are as follows:
 Child labor
 Forced labor
 Health and safety
 Compensation
 Working hours
 Discrimination
 Discipline
 Free association and collective bargaining
Complacence Checklist
 Compensation for holiday
 Sexual harassment policy
