SAMPLE ROOM & PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT:

In the product development or sample room department at first their work is to collect the
sketch which is come from the buyer with specification sheet to develop individual
product. Sometimes they got the measurement sheet from the buyer or sometimes they
have to follow measurement by calculating from the sample or garment given. At the
sample room department their responsibility is to make a mini marker for figure it out the
fabric consumption for specific style. Basically the sample room department firstly get
sample or measurement chart with style sketch from via merchandising department than
in the sample room the pattern maker make the pattern manually. After the pattern
making its goes to cutting to cut the fabric, after cutting the pattern pieces from the fabric
it comes to the sample room sewing section. Than sewing section make the garment as
per requirement. Than ready garment goes for washing. When the washing is completed
it’s come back to the sample room department for finishing purpose. When the finishing
is completed than the sample room department send this sample to the merchandising
department for sending the sample to the buyer for correction or approval. For the sample
making merchandiser has to arrange the fabric & accessories for specific style if not
available than the sample room department has their own store from which they will took
fabric & accessories to make the sample. They mostly make the samples which are as
follows:
1. Quotation sample.
2. Style sample.
3. Fit sample.
4. Size set sample.
5. Counter sample.
6. Pre-production sample.
7. Production sample.
8. Photo sample.
9. Proto sample.
10. Shipment sample.
Basically in this organization the CAD/CAM room is attached with the sample room
department. In the product development or sample room department their responsibility is
to collect & store various types & style of garment collection with specification data,
fabric swatch collection with construction, trims & accessories collection with
specification, sample development update data filing, modular construction system store,
TSA measurement, MPI, collect additional information. At CAD/CAM room they
basically make the mini marker for consumption making for fabric otherwise for the
factory they make the marker manually for lay fabric on cutting section.

CUTTING DEPARTMENT WORKING PROCESS & DOCUMENTATION:

In the cutting section at first there is an order sheet comes from the merchandising
department. From that order sheet they are making plan for the whole month which is
called order sheet & fabric allocation for the month of delivery than fabric booking sheet
follow up by the merchandiser through cutting. After completing the fabric inspection on
the fabric store fabric is delivery from the main store to the sub-store of the cutting floor
with inspection report. They have individual sub-store for individual cutting floor. The
fabric receiver man is received the fabric & alignment it on the sub-store. Than cutting
section maintain a swatch or fabric trim card to allocate quality & color. If the inspection
fabric is not passed for cutting than the fabric return to the dyeing for shade matching or
any other defect on fabric will acknowledge to the merchandiser & cutting manager. The
cutting section has to follow the swatch or trim card before start cutting. After that the
fabric lay on the cutting table for cut fabric as per marker preparation. The required
marker has been placed on top of the fabric lay as per buyer requirement. Basically they
make the marker manually but sometimes they put CAD marker also. For marker
preparation the cutting always maintains a size wise ratio for saving fabric when cutting.
After placing the marker on top of the fabric lay they cut the fabric by the cutting
instruction of the marker. Than the cutting pieces send to the numbering table to put
numbers on part of pieces. After that there is a cut panel inspection which is consist of
style number, cutting number, lay quantity, for part check, defects numbers, total
defected parts & remarks. Based on that format they maintain buyer name & cutter name
& date of cut. After that they make bundling with inspection report they make for
pass/fail which is required for there cutting policy. Than poly the cut pieces & make
ready for input for the sewing floor. For marker preparation buyer mention that it will be
a 4pieces marker or 6pieces marker. If the buyer not give any instruction on marker
preparation than the cutting will prepare there own marker preparation. For style
preparation they consider order quantity size wise, booking quantity size wise & marker
preparation. They maintain a trial cutting quality report which consists of a quality
inspection sheet on which all the spec measurement is written down. The tolerance limit
+/- 1/2 record for cutting is being written on that format by side to side to recognized that
it up to the buyer tolerance required.

For each order they maintain so many format sheets & make record of every attempt
related to this individual order or style. They maintain much documentation during the
order running on which are as follows:

1. Cutting Quality Control Sheet.


2. Spreading Quality Control Sheet.
3. Daily Cutting Output Status Sheet.
4. Cutting Information Chart.
5. Marker Preparation Chart.
6. Cut Panel Inspection & Replacement Report.
7. Fabric Shrinkage Report.

14. Cutting Forecast Plan.
15. Consumption Report.
16. Bundle Card Report.

CUTTING ROOM MANAGEMENT


Function: - Material control > Fabric wastage control and proper utilization

@ Material control ≤ Material control in the cutting room begins with establishing
material estimates. This will include a standard usage for a certain garment.
@ Material control ≤ Material control in the cutting room may take place in three areas.

1. Fabric issue:-
* The storekeeper knows the length and width of pieces in store and issue cloth against a
copy of the cutting sheet.
* Control consists of comparing expected usage (material estimate × no of garments cut)
with actual usage (issued fabric minus returned fabric)
2. Marker Making
* Control may involve checking that a copy marker is the same length as the original i.e.
master marker length = 25 yds 04"
Copy marker length = 25 yds 04"
3. Spreading
* Control of end losses, edge alignment damages which affects material utilization and
control (material width 43", fabric width 44" not allow 45")

SUB-STORE ON CUTTING FLOOR:

Sub-store department work is to make store of trims, accessories & fabric from the main
store which they are called the RMG Store. When the Sewing & Cutting Section gives
requisition to the sub-store for trims, accessories & fabric than the sub-store department
duty is to make sources or collect & store proper style trims, accessories & fabric. As per
requisition sub-store delivery trims & accessories to the sewing floor & fabric to the
cutting floor. For delivery of such items the sub-store department maintains a register
book which consists of date, style number, and description of goods, size ratio, issue date,
received date, issued quantity, balance, issue signature & received signature.

CAD/CAM FACILITIES:

1. Investronica System , Version – 7.0


2. PX Change – 32 (Software Converter)
3. HPGL – Software
4. Facilities to receiving patterns & sending the same also.

PP meeting is basically carried out before the bulk production starts. PP meeting is a
meeting where the production people, merchandiser & the buyer set for solving some
problems arising during the production period. Sometimes some styles is very difficult to
produce & critical in stitch so on that meeting production team wants some facilities like
extension on shipment, some modification on style if possible (which is a very critical
style), if buyer need any changes on style, marker length, width, lay height requirement if
buyer wishes. After the PP meeting about that particular style is started for bulk
production on the result based. When the bulk production is started than no changes can

Knit garment) than after the quality check garment goes for thread sucking & than
garments are properly ironed. After ironing the garment it comes to size man which is
under folding section for proper measurement check. Than the garments send to the get-
up table to check the garment again to inspect properly that the garment is good quality or
not. The garment comes to folding table where the garment dust is removed manually by
