1. BACKGROUND
The textile industry in India is traditionally second largest employment generation industry after agriculture,
it is the only industry that has generated huge employment for both skilled and unskilled labour in textiles
industry. The textile industry continues to be the second largest employment generating sector in India and it
is the one of potential source of income generation for the rural youth is apparel.
Clothes/Garment is the one of basic need of human being. People may be rich or poor but everyone has need
of garment to protect and cover his/her body. It can be said that everyone use garment but brand and quality
will be varied only due to economic condition and buying capacity of client. Everyone wants to use quality
and brand but due to weak economic condition they don’t fulfil his/her desire.
If a brand establishes and quality product produce in Jharkhand and sale at reasonable price, everyone must
buy the product and use it. The population of Jharkhand is more than 3 crores and not a single unit of apparel
industry is available here. Jharkhand is rich due to its resources and known for steel industry like Bokaro and
Jamshedpur, coal area, mica production etc... Jharkhand people is always ready to adopt new fashion and
buying capacity of this state is also more.
Jharkhand people migrate to other state for the livelihood and most of them working as a labour in out of
state. The people of this state are laborious and honest about his/her work. The women of this state also
Page 1
PROPOSAL
migrate to other state and work there. All these people want to work in home state but due to lack of
opportunity in the state these people move to other state. But these labour forces always think that if any
opportunity will be provided in the home state they shall return and work at minimum salary also. Apparel
sector is one of the biggest employment sectors in the country after agriculture and clothes are one of the
basic needs of the human.
Looking into the scenario of apparel manufacturing 70-80% operators are women and most of them work
maximum 2-3 years as per factory expert. The retention rate is high with these women worker due to
different societal and personal home reason including marriage. Women’s have a deep interest & very
laborious in this sector if they get job in these sectors at their home state it will be more fruitful for them as
well as for the state. So, we have to give them exposer and job according to their capabilities and help them
to find job in their home town.

7. SOP of different departments and its working procedure
Working Procedure:
In case of Sampling:
For sampling merchandiser sends the fabric swatch to fabric purchase department. Firstly, Purchase guy
cross checks if the fabric is available in store or not. If not they he/she send request to local supplier for
developing the fabric for same quantity as per merchandiser’s advice. (E.g., 15-50 mtr). The fabric mill
gives the lead time and according to the lead time purchase team cross check and once it comes, purchase
personnel send it to merchant and merchant then do the needful. It is called FOB (First of Bulk).
Step 1: Once order is confirmed, merchandiser sends the bill of material for bulk order to purchase
department and they also send the approved fabric sample which is to be used for upcoming style. The
fabric sourcing departments cross check each & everything. Then they send the fabric swatch to various
mill and request to develop the fabric. As per request fabric mill develop the fabric and send back to
factory with price quotation and lead time. After verifying everything purchase team ordered for bulk
quantity.
[In case of buyer’s nominated supplier, they don’t need to do it, because buyer will pay for the bulk
fabric.]
Step 2: Once the raw materials or the fabric is been sent by the supplier to the company and once, they
reach in-house the concerned person keeps the track of all the documents and material, he checks the
quantity of the material in-house and the material ordered and cross checks i.e., he checks the materials
against invoice/ DC / Packing list.
After confirmation he enters the details in the “SAP” (System Analysis Programme). Then they have to
do the bill entry and keep the record and maintain the document of whatever the slips received or
delivered.
Step 3: Then the entries are forwarded to the head office for the checking and payment.

WORKING PROCEDURE:
➢ Fabric comes in thane and roll also. Fabric rolls are checked in fabric inspection machine and
thane fabric is checked by manually.
➢ The fabric checker cuts the 25 x 25 cm swatch which goes to buyer for shade approval which then
moves for inspection.
➢ At first the width of fabric is taken, after that checking is carried out.
➢ The fabric defects are marked as per 4-point inspection system, defected area is marked by red
color and fabric inspection report is made based on defect’s size. Eventually the length is
measured.
➢ After the fabric is declared pass in fabric inspection report then a tag is attached to thane [Green=
ok, Yellow=careful, Red=rejected.]
➢ Then lot wise the fabric rolls are placed on the selective racks in a systematic manner.
➢ If the fabric doesn’t meet quality parameters, it is kept in the rejected fabric storage area to be sent
back to the supplier for reprocessing.
➢ For passed lots an accounts copy is made on the basis of which payments are made to the
supplier.
➢ When all fabric lots are checked, all fabric swatches (25 x25cm) are taken in a one place and then
they are grouped and sorted as per same class or shade. Then it is sent to merchandiser.
➢ The passed fabric is issued against the cut plans of a particular item to the production departments
which is then cut and sew.
➢ N.B: [In case of fabric roll, 10% roll is inspected, but in case of thane 100% inspection is carried
out.]

BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT CUTTING DEPARTMENT
✓ A sheet of paper is used to lay the plies of fabric upon which helps the movement of the lay while
cutting and also to protect the fabric from damage by any rough edges on the table.
✓ The usual spreading mode used for fabric is Face-One-Way-Nap-One-way according to the fabric
used or according to the buyer requirement.
✓ The spreading operators manually pull the fabric up to required ply length and then cut it using
end cutter.
✓ All the plies in the lay are laid similarly.
✓ Due to excess humidity and temperature, there is more relaxation allowances for worker which
decreases overall on standard time.
Straight knife machines are used for bulk cutting.
✓ Smaller parts such as pockets and waistband interlining are cut using bend knife machine.
✓ Size wise and color wise cutting of pieces is recorded.

WASHING DEPARTMENT
Garment washing is normally done after garment stitching. According to the fashion trend and the customers'
demand, buyers ask for garment washing for specific product ranges. For the washing, apparel buyers
mention exactly what types of washing they need for the order.
For example, I worked with the buyer Tom Tailor and made t-shirts and polo shirts. They asked for garment
washing like – Vintage wash, Cloud wash, enzyme wash, softener wash or Acid wash. Each wash has
different types of appearance on the fabric surfaces. Wash types mainly depend on product types. For denim
product, a heavy enzyme wash is required where for the knitted T-shirt, light softener wash may be okay.

Each quality checker is provided stickers for marking defects, thread clippers etc. Each checker is instructed
to check the garments thoroughly, mark the defects with arrow stickers and also to cut the uncut threads if
found. Checker puts his allotted number on each of the garment piece passed by him. Each checker is
monitored for their performance. Every time a defective piece is found at a later stage it is traced back to the
checker who passed it or sent for stitching alteration or spotting. This checker is then shown his mistake and
taught the correct method so that this is not repeated again.
There are two types of production records that are maintained for these quality checkers. They are:
a) Hourly production record
b) Daily production record

07 Line balancing the desired production target.
Report submitted to the Finally, the garments production report has to submit to the
12 factory manager factory manager.
Function
The IED department has to work with many other departments as this department gives the entire idea of
the garment construction and the thread and trims consumption criteria, operator’s skill level
categorization and other related aspects. Hence, they play a vital role in determining the cost of producing
a single piece of the garment and cost of the factory for that particular style of garment. The different
departments with which the IED works are as follows:
Planning Department: The IED department helps the planning department to know the time required for
the production of that particular style of the garment by calculating the SAM value for it and they also
help in finding the capacity of the factory based on which the planning department takes a decision if they
have to proceed with order or not.
➢ Merchandising Department: The IED calculates the SAM value for the garment, calculates the
productivity of the given style for the initial costing and also calculates the accessories
consumption by the style and gives all these details to the merchandising department for the
costing purpose and it also gives the merchants suggestions regarding the reduction of the cost
of manufacturing the garment by modifying any of the steps and the method of doing it.
➢ Research and Development Team: The IED people using the General Sewing Data (GSD)
prepare the style bulletin which includes the different types of seams and stitches that has to be
done for the garment and it also includes the length of the seams and the types of stitches that has
to be carried out at different places of the garment as per the buyers’ specifications and approval.
➢ Human Resource Department: IED department will analyse and estimate the manpower and their
skill level which is required for the production of the garment.

SAMPLING DEPARTMENT:
Sampling department is the most important department of the organization. It is the department that
develops the samples thus enabling the Product Development. Sampling is the best way to place an order.
Though it is a difficult and time taking process but it will help the exporter to get the order from the
buyer. The samples decide the ability of an exporter. The buyers will assess the exporter and his
organization only by the samples. If the samples are of good quality and with reasonable price naturally
the buyers will be forced to place the order, so it is essential that the samples should be innovative and
with optimum quality.
Sampling was self-sufficient as it has its own stitching, washing, trimming, spotting, ironing and checking
or inspection etc. dedicated for the construction of samples only.
Page 38
PROPOSAL
REQUIREMENT OF SAMPLING
The purpose of sampling is not only to get bulk order but also it gives some additional benefits to the
exporters. By doing sampling the exporter can estimate.
TYPES OF SAMPLES
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAM
➢ Development sample- Based on tech pack submitted by buyer or on the design developed in-
house.
➢ Proto sample – It is a development sample. It is the reflection of the first tech pack received from
the buyer. The sample is sent to the buyer for the design approval. Proto can be made with
different fabric but quality of fabric should be same as per buyer instruction. Proto sample is
made in the base size. Styling is important. The comments and second tech pack are sent back
referring changes in the sample.
➢ Salesman Sample (SMS) - After sending proto, if buyer approves, SMS sample is sent to buyer. It
should be the actual fabric, trims and measurements.
If SMS sample approved then its handover to the production team in the merchandising
department.
PRODUCTION TEAM
➢ Fit sample- Different buyers have different fits, based on which samples are requested in each fit.
➢ Red Seal sample (RSS)- It is First fit sample made after SMS sample. It has 3 stages, RSS, 2nd
RSS, 3RD RSS. In RSS: two sample are made one for the buyer and one for the merchant
department counter; in this sample FOB fabric is used for making samples according to the buyer
comment after SMS sample. After RSS sample sent to the buyer for is fit approval then buyer
comments on it whether they want 2nd RSS or GSS sample.
➢ Gold Seal Sample (GSS) - It is second sample made after RSS sample. It has 3 stages, GSS, 2nd
GSS, 3rd GSS. In GSS: three samples are made one for buyer and another two for merchant
department counter; in this sample bulk fabric is used for making samples according to the buyer
comment after RSS sample. After GSS sample sent to the buyer for is fit approval then buyer
comments on it whether they want 2nd GSS or Reference sample either it approved for production.
➢ Reference Sample- It is third sample made after GSS sample. In reference sample: three samples
are made one for buyer and another two for merchant department counter; in this sample bulk
fabric is used for making samples according to the buyer comment after GSS sample. After
reference sample buyer approved for production then if buyer want photoshoot for catalogue.
Then photoshoot sample made by merchant department and do the photoshoot of the sample and
sent it to the buyer.
➢ Garment Assessment Test (GAA Test) - It is a sample which is made for garment test. In GAA
Test: three samples are made for testing; in this sample we use actual fabric of bulk, bulk trim,
bulk thread is mandatory to use for making sample. GAA testing for D.S Washing, Appearance

PROPOSAL
Steps:
1. In the first stage buyer sends style sheet, specs or sketch of any garment pieces and asks for proto sample
with costing. Sometimes they send Tech pack with required specs and measurements.
[N.B.: In this process, buyer wants to see that factory is capable or not to make the style.]
2. The merchandiser gets the available fabric with same quality as per Tech pack and at the same time they
send a programme to pattern making and sampling department for that style.
3. During the proto preparing time, the merchandiser gets the approval of all things like fabric, trims, label,
costing etc. and either buyer gives the approval or gives the vendor’s name.
[From the CAD dept. the average fabric consumption is calculated and from GSD the SMV of the style is
calculated-On this basis costing is done.]
4. After sampling done, merchant sends proto sample with cost-sheet. If buyer approves the proto, he asks
for SMS sample.
[In this stage, merchandiser sends SMS sample with costing]
5. After SMS sample approval, the fit approval process is carried on in this time all the negotiation (Sample
fit, costing etc.) is happened. After fit approval merchandiser sends pre-production sample and according to
this sample production should be carried.
[During fit approval, merchandiser gets the approval of bulk fabric and trims from buyer.]
6. When SMS Sample is approved, then Purchase order is sent by buyer; merchandising team co-ordinate
with production team. Before starting the production, it is necessary that everything i.e., fabric, trims should
be in house and this time merchant gives the lead time to buyer.
7. During production merchant gives the status update to buyer according TNA calendar and follow up the
shipment.

PROPOSAL
▪ Disclose sources of wastages.
ELEMENTS OF COSTING
Materials
Labor
Other expenses
Cost of the fabric = Cost of grey fabric + dyeing charges + finishing charges + shrinkage + wastage
Cost of Making
The cost of making is based on the total cost per hour multiplied by the number of hours it takes to make the
style and divided by the number of units produced if the making is done by a contractor. The contractor
adds profit on to this amount.
• CMT charges are calculated as: Total available capacity per month (in minute) = 26
working days*8 hours/day*60=12,480 minutes
• Sewing cost = (SAM [Standard Allowed Minute] of the garment * Minute cost of the
labor)/Line efficiency (%)
• Cutting cost = (SAM of cutting * Minute cost of the labor)/cutting efficiency (%)
Page 45
PROPOSAL
• Production cost of garment (CMT) = sewing cost + cutting cost + trimming cost.
