CHAPTER – 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 ABOUT THE TRAINING

The overall objective of summer internship training is to provide an opportunity for

gaining insight into the organization atmosphere and to understand the organizational climate

and the expectation of the industries.

1.2 APPAREL & GARMENTS

The Global Textile Industry, particularly the Apparel Industry has seen remarkable

changes in the past few years. The Garment Manufacturing Industry and the Garment Companies

in developed countries are now always on a lookout for cheap source of garment production. The

days are gone when textile garment industry was concentrated in the consumption hubs of US,

EU and other developed countries of the world. The clothing wholesale supply is increasing

worldwide in all the sectors of the industry, whether it is men’s clothing, women’s clothing, kids

wear or infant wear. The elimination of global export quotas has led to a shift towards low cost

countries having strong and established Clothing Industry especially the Asian countries.

India is the second most preferred country after China for textile and apparel sourcing. Its

Apparel industry is likely to achieve an export target of US$ 25 billion by 2010-11. The rise of

exports in India is due to several factors like vast sources of raw materials, low labor costs,

entrepreneurship and design skills of Indian traders, changes in the policies to open up Indian

economy to the outside world etc.

The Apparel Clothing & Garments Companies Directory lists the Manufacturers and

wholesale supplier companies dealing in various sectors of clothing such as men’s clothing,

women’s clothing, kids clothing, infant wear, sportswear etc. With the Industry going global, the

Manufacturers and Suppliers do not have to limit themselves within any boundary. The

Companies from varied countries join hands in order to meet the ever expanding demands of the

consumers worldwide. In such a situation, a vast resource of Apparel and Garment Industry

becomes indispensable.

The cotton is a traded commodity on the stock exchange. Most cotton in the world comes

from USA or Uzbekistan. It has to be bought on world stock exchange trade prices based on

quality and availability. Therefore it is beneficial that the buyer state that they would require say

xxx amount per month per year. Then buyer and seller can plan ahead. As we can see trial orders

then become a problem as manufacturer can’t lock in a futures buy on the cotton or chemicals or

even production line space.

1.3 INDIAN APPAREL AND TEXTILE INDUSTRY

The textile and apparels sector in India is a diverse and heterogeneous industry, which

covers a wide variety of products from hi-tech synthetic and wool fibers to yarns to fabrics to

apparels, cotton fibers to yarns to fabrics to home textiles to high fashion apparels (knitted and

woven). This diversity of end products corresponds to a multitude of industrial processes,

enterprises or market structures.

The Indian textile and apparels industry is in a stronger position now than it was in the

last six decades. The industry, which was growing at 3-4 percent during the last six decades, has

now accelerated to an annual growth rate of 9-10 percent. There is a sense of optimism in the

industry and textile and apparels sector has now become a sunrise sector.

The catalysts, which have placed the industry on this trajectory of exponential growth,

are a flexible domestic economy, a substantial increase in cotton production, the favorable policy

environment provided by the Government, and the expiration of the Multi Fiber Agreement

(MFA) on 31 December, 2004 and implementation of Agreement on Textiles and Clothing

(ATC).

1.4 Textiles Committee (Ministry of Textiles, Government of India)

The Parliament in its 14th

year of the Republic enacted the Textiles Committee Act, 1963.

The Committee is under the administrative control of the Ministry of Textiles, Government of

India. Its main objective is to ensure the quality of textiles and textile machinery both for internal

consumption and export purposes. As corollary objectives, the Textiles Committee has been

entrusted with the following functions, under Section 4 of the Act:

To undertake, assist and encourage, scientific, technological and economic research.

To establish standard specifications for textiles, textile machinery and the packing

materials.

To establish laboratories for the testing of textiles and textile machinery.

To provide training in the technique s of quality control.

To provide for the inspection and examination of textiles and textile machinery.

To promote export of textiles.

To collect statistics and

To advise the Central Government on all matters relating to textiles and textile machinery.

1.5 About Tirupur

Tirupur is a textile center of Western Tamil Nadu, located 50 km. covering a population of

around seven hundred thousand. Predominantly an export niche, the town gains its significance

for its updated technology and the quality of its macroeconomic environment. Buyers are from 35

countries frequently air-dash Tirupur. Some 90 percent of India’s total knitwear exports originate

from here. The Indian Export Import Policy of 2002-2007 includes a special tribute to Tirupur and

calls it a “Town of Export Excellence.”

The first banyan factory in Tirupur was started in 1925. With the advent of electricity in

1931 more knitting and weaving factories came into existence. Initially, all the knitting machines

were imported from Germany, Japan and New York. By 1942, there were 34 hosiery factories in

all. By 1968 this increased to 250 and today sophisticated machines are being imported from

Germany, Japan, Italy, U.S.A., Korea, Taiwan and many other countries. As documented by the

Tirupur Exporters Association, the composition of the knitwear industry in Tirupur today is

broadly classified as:

Knitting and/or stitching units : 4500

Dyeing and/or bleaching units : 750

Printing units : 300

Embroidery units : 100

Other (Compacting, Rising, and Calendaring) : 200

5.1 Project taken process Steps

First the manufacturer gets the measurement schedule from buyer.

Second, the buyer can send all t-shirt size measurements for their requirement.

Third manufacturer made the pattern depending upon the requirement and send to buyer.

The sample is requested from the manufacturer so that the buyer can see the look and the

feel of the garment.

This way of assessing if the manufacturer real as they have no problem in sending

samples.

A counter sample is then checks and sent to the manufacturer. Like everything buyer pay

for quality.

Good for a few washes then it’s out of shape, stitching broken and faded color.

Again manufacturer always ask for buyer’s to see the stitching weight and general

quality.

With this in hand manufacturer can work out if buyer can meet the target prices.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT

6.1 INTRODUCTION

In present modern oriented economy everyday needs finance to carry on its operation and

to cover its targets. Finance plays an important role in a company’s life. It is rightly said that

“finance is the life blood of an enterprise”.

6.2 FUNCTIONS OF FINANCE DEPARTMENT

Financial planning

Formulation of financial policy

Working capital management

Negotiation with banks and finance institutions

Analysis of financial position

Analysis of day to day management of funds.

Preparing of profit and loss a/c and balance sheet.

Dealing with sales tax matter

Effective development of fund

6.3 NEEDS AND IMPORTANCE OF FINANCE

Through finance is an essential requirement for all trading and commercial activities, it is

all the more so in the case of foreign trade transactions because of their size and complexity.

Buyer and seller in foreign trade separated by long geographical distances, this creates the

problem of transportation of goods from one country to another further, because goods remains

in transit for long periods, there is considerable risk of loss due to damage or destruction. Also

communication between concerned parties became difficult particularly because of language

problem.

All this needs of an exporter are varied to being with. If he is a manufacturer himself he

needs credits so as to be able to produce goals for export. And if he is a trader he needs credit to

buy goods for the purpose of export.

Then, as the goods are consigned he needs credit during the interval, which is often quite

long between the shipment of goods and realization of proceeds from the foreign buyers.

CHAPTER - 7

MERCHANDISING DEPARTMENT

7.1 INTRODUCTION

The function of the merchandising department begins with the sourcing for the new order

or the repeat order, and continues till the shipment deadline has met. Merchandisers act as

mediators between the manufacturer and the buyers. They know what buyers want and what the

company is able to and willing to deliver. They are responsible for timely execution of the

orders.

7.2 FUNCTIONS

The main function of the merchandising department is a follow up process. They carry

out pre-production planning with the help of the production manager so that the order

gets completed in a smooth and organized manner on time.

The merchandisers keep track of all the departments' progress with their orders. They

maintain a copy of the documents from all the departments, which show the status of the

orders in those departments.

The merchandisers discuss the details of the tech pack with the QC's and pattern masters

and negotiate with the buyer if there are any changes to be done.

They get the samples made under their supervision.

The job of costing the garments is with the senior merchandiser and it has to be approved

by the divisional merchandising head.

Placing orders for sampling fabrics and trims is also merchandiser's responsibility after

getting the approval for the same.

At Orient Craft the merchandisers have to maintain various documentation for their own

as well as for the reference of quality and production purpose. At the time of production

they have to do a file handover along with a sealer sample that is approved by the quality

head of the company. This file contains all the details of the garment from fabric entrance

used to the washing specification. A copy of this file is handed over to the production

manager and another copy is given to the Quality control concerned.

Various documents, files that merchandisers maintain are fabric files; trim files style

master files, format files, art works files etc.

7.3 RESPONSIBILITIES

Forecasting sales

Planning the product range with the buying team

Liaising with buyers, store managers, distributors and suppliers

Visiting manufacturers, stores and suppliers

Setting budgets using figures and forecasts new range

CHAPTER - 8

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

8.1 DEFINITION

The set of interrelated management activities which are involved in manufacturing

certain products is called as production management.

8.2 MATERIALS MANAGEMENT AND INVENTORY CONTROL

The main activity of production system is to convert the raw material s into useful

products by value addition process.

The material which are required for the production purposes are normally produced and

stored in raw material warehouse and then shifted to manufacturing plant. Otherwise, the raw

material is to be purchased in advance and stocked in stores mainly to smoother then production

process.

The different function of materials management are materials planning, purchasing,

receiving, stores, inventory control, scrap and surplus disposal.

The integrated materials management will result in the following advantages:

Better accountability

Better co-ordination

Better performance

Adaptability to computerised systems.

The components of the integrated materials management can be classified into the following

modules

Materials control

Inventory control

Purchase management

Stores management

8.3 MATERIAL PLANNING

Sales forecasting and aggregated planning are the basic inputs for material planning.

The different tasks under planning are listed below.

Estimating the individual requirement of the parts

Preparing materials budget

Forecasting the levels of investment

Scheduling the orders

Monitoring the performance in the relation to production and sales.

8.4 INVENTORY CONTROL

Fixing economic order quantity

lead time analysis

Setting safety stock and re-order level.

8.5 PURCHASE MANAGEMENT

These tasks under purchasing are listed below

Evaluating and rating suppliers

Selection of suppliers

Finalisation of terms of purchases

Placement of purchase orders

Follow up

Approval of payments to suppliers

8.6 STORES MANAGEMENT

The different tasks under stores are listed below:

Physical control materials

Preservation of stores

Minimization of obsolescence and damage through handling

Disposal and efficient handling

Maintenance of stores records

Proper location and stocking of materials

Reconciling the materials with books figures.

8.7 INVENTORY CONTROL

Inventory is essential to provide flexible in operating system. The inventory can be

classified into raw materials inventory remove dependency between suppliers and plant. The

work process inventories remove dependency between machines of a product line. The finished

goods inventory removes dependency between plant and its customers/market.

The main functions of inventory are summarized below:

Smoothing out irregularities in supply.

Minimizing the production cost.

Allowing organisation to cope with perishable materials.

8.8 RAW MATERIALS

The majority of T-shirts are made of 100% cotton, polyester, or a cotton/polyester blend.

Environmentally conscious manufacturers may use organically grown cotton and natural dyes.

Stretchable T-shirts are made of knit fabrics, especially jerseys, rib knits, and interlock rib knits,

which consist of two ribbed fabrics that are joined together. Jerseys are most frequently used

since they are versatile, comfortable, and relatively inexpensive.

8.9 YARN DYEING

There are many forms of yarn dyeing. Common forms are the at package form and the at

hanks form. Cotton yarns are mostly dyed at package form, and acrylic or wool yarn are dyed at

hank form. In the continuous filament industry, polyester or polyamide yarns are always dyed at

package form, while viscose rayon yarns are partly dyed at hank form because of technology.

The common dyeing process of cotton yarn with reactive dyes at package form is as follows:

1. The raw yarn is wound on a spring tube to achieve a package suitable for dye penetration.

2. These softened packages are loaded on a dyeing carrier's spindle one on another.

3. The packages are pressed up to a desired height to achieve suitable density of packing.

4. The carrier is loaded on the dyeing machine and the yarn is dyed.

5. After dyeing, the packages are unloaded from the carrier into a trolley.

6. The packages are hydro extracted to remove the maximum amount of water.

7. The packages are then dried to achieve the final dyed package.

After this process, the dyed yarn packages are packed

8.10 KNITTING PROCESS

It is a known fact that the main material for fabric construction is yarn. Knitting is the

second most frequently used method, after weaving, that turns yarns or threads into fabrics. It is

a versatile technique that can make fabrics having various properties such as wrinkle-resistance,

stretch ability, better fit, particularly demanded due to the rising popularity of sportswear and

casual wears.

8.11 BASIC PRINCIPLE OF KNITTING

A knitted fabric may be made with a single yarn which is formed into

interlocking loops with the help of hooked needles. According to the purpose of

the fabric, the loops may be loosely or closely constructed. Crocheted fabric is

the simplest example of knitting where a chain of loops is constructed from a

single thread with the help of a hook. As the loops are interlocked in a knitted

fabric, it can stretch in any direction even when a low-grade yarn having little

elasticity is used.

8.12 THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Making T-shirts is a fairly simple and largely automated process. Specially designed

machines integrate cutting, assembling, and stitching for the most efficient operations. The most

commonly used seams for T-shirts are narrow, superimposed seams, which are usually made by

placing one piece of fabric onto another and lining up the seam edges. These seams are

frequently stitched with an over edge stitch, which requires one needle thread from above and

two looped threads from below. This particular seam and stitch combination results in a flexible

finished seam.

Another type of seam that may be used for T-shirts are bound seams, in which a narrow

piece of fabric is folded around a seam, as at the neckline. These seams may be stitched together

using a lockstitch, chain stitch, or over edge stitch. Depending on the style of the T-shirt, the

order in which the garment is assembled may vary slightly.

Production process flow chart

8.13 Styling

The T-shirt style is designed and the dimensions are transferred to patterns. Adjustments

are made for size differences and stylistic preferences.

8.14 Cutting

The T-shirt sections are cut to the dimensions of the

patterns. The pieces consist of a tubed body, or separate front and

back sections, sleeves, perhaps pockets, and trim.

8.15 Assembling the front and back

For fabric that is not tubed, the separate pieces for the

front and back sections must be stitched together at the sides.

They are joined at the seam lines to form a simple, narrow,

superimposed seam and stitched together using an over edge

stitch. Care must be taken to avoid a needle cutting the yarn of

the fabric, which can lead to tears in the garment.

8.16 Assembling the sleeves

The edges of sleeves are generally finished before they are

fitted into the garment, since it is easier to edge the fabric while it is

flat. An automated system moves the sleeves to the stitching head

by conveyor. The edge may be finished by folding it over, forming

the edge and stitching, or by applying a band. The band may be

attached as a superimposed seam or folded over the edge as

binding.

If the T-shirt body is tubular, the sleeve material is first sewn together, and then set into

the garment. Alternatively, if the T-shirt is "cut and sewn," the seamed sleeve is set into place.

Later during the final stage of sewing the shirt, the sleeve and side seams are sewn in one action.

8.17 Stitching the hem

The garment hem is commonly sewn with an over edge stitch, resulting in a flexible hem.

The tension of the stitch should be loose enough to allow stretching the garment without tearing

the fabric. Alternative hem styles include a combination of edge finishing stitches.

8.18 Adding pockets

Pockets may be sewn onto T-shirts intended for casual wear. Higher quality T-shirts will

insert an interlining into the pocket so that it maintains its shape. The interlining is inserted into

the pocket as it is sewn onto the T-shirt front. Pockets may be attached to the garment with

automated setters, so the operator only has to arrange the fabric pieces, and the mechanical setter

positions the pocket and stitches the seam.

8.19 Stitching the shoulder seams

Generally, shoulder seams require a simple superimposed seam. Higher quality T-shirt

manufacturers may reinforce seams with tape or elastic. Depending on the style of the T-shirt,

the seams at the shoulder may be completed before or after the neckband is attached. For

instance, if a tubular neckband is to be applied, the shoulder seams must first be closed.

8.20 Attaching the neckband

For crew neck shirts, the neck edge should be slightly shorter in circumference than the

outer edge where it is attached to the garment. Thus, the neckband must be stretched just the

right amount to prevent bulging. Tubular neckbands are applied manually. The bands are folded,

wrong sides together, stretched slightly, and aligned with the neckline. The superimposed seam

is stitched with an over edge stitch.

Bound seams are finished with a cover stitch and are easy to achieve. Bound seams may

be used on a variety of neckline styles. The process entails feeding ribbed fabric through

machines which fold the fabric and apply tension to it.

Some neckbands on lower-priced shirts are attached separately to the front and back

necklines of the garment. Thus when the shoulder seams are stitched, seams are visible on the

neckband.

V-necks require the extra step of either lapping or mitering the neckband. In the former

process, one side is folded over the other. A mitered seam is more complex, requiring an

operator to overlap the band accurately and stitch the band at center front. An easier method for a

V-neck look is to attach the band to the neckline and then sew a tuck to form a V.

8.21 Finishing the neckline

Necklines with superimposed seams may be taped, so that the

shirt is stronger and more comfortable. Tape may be extended across the

back and over the shoulder seams to reinforce this area as well and to

flatten the seam. The seam is then cover stitched or top stitched.

8.22 Ironing

Ironing is to remove wrinkles from fabric. Ironing works by loosening the ties between

the long chains of molecules that exist in polymer fiber materials. With the heat and the weight

of the ironing plate, the fibers are stretched and the fabric maintains its new shape when cool.

8.23 Label setting

One or more labels are usually attached at the back of the neckline. Labels provide

information about the manufacturer, size, fabric content, and washing instructions.

8.24 Optional features

Some T-shirts will have trim or screen prints added for decorative purposes. Special T-

shirts for infants have larger openings at the head. The shoulder seams are left open near the

neck, and buttons or other fasteners are attached.

Singular machine

8.25 Finishing operations and checking

T-shirts are inspected for flaws in the fabric, stitching, and thread. High-quality T-shirts

may be pressed through steam tunnels before they are packaged. Packaging depends on the type

of T-shirt and the intended distribution outlet. For underwear, the shirts are folded and packaged

in pre-printed bags, usually of clear plastic, that list information about the product. Shirts may be

boarded, or folded around a piece of cardboard, so that they maintain their shape during shipping

and on the shelf. Finally, they are placed into boxes by the dozen or half-dozen.

8.26 Quality Control

Most of the operations in manufacturing clothing are regulated by federal and inter-

national guidelines. Manufacturers may also set guidelines for the company. There are standards

that apply specifically to the T-shirt industry, which include proper sizing, and fit, appropriate

needles and seams, types of stitches, and the number of stitches per inch. Stitches must be loose

enough to allow the garment to stretch without breaking the seam. Hems must be flat and wide

enough to prevent curling. T-shirts must also be inspected for proper application of neck-lines,

which should rest flat against the body. The neckline should also recover properly after being

slightly stretched.

The basic components of products qualities are listed below:

Careful consideration of products design specification.

Adequate inspection procedures for manufacturing or assembled products

Acceptance procedures for purchased raw materials and parts and control practices to

maintain quality levels in in-process stage.

Commitment from top management, lower level of management and supervisors towards

quality.

Formulations for quality assurance procedures which are necessary to integrate and

coordinate all these functions.

Cleaner Production is an attractive approach to tackle environmental problems associated

with industrial production and poor material efficiency. The cleaner production approach was

successfully implemented in the textile sector. It shows that significant financial saving and

environmental improvements can be made by relatively low-cost and straight forward

interventions. This improves the quality of products and minimizes the cost of production,

enabling the branch to compete in the global market. Moreover, Cleaner Production also improves

the company’s public image by highlighting the steps it has taken to protect the environment.

The main purpose of this study it to give an overview on the main processes involved in

the textile manufacturing. For each process and extensive material and energy balance is provided

as well as the impact of each in both environmental and human health terms. It also presents

literature that will help on carrying out the cleaner production review especially in the

identification of the company performance and in comparing this performance with industry

averages.
