FABRIC WARE HOUSE After the fabric is in house, 2 pieces of

gave another 5% extra was given by merchandiser and the supplier also added 5% on the ordered fabric.

Poor fabric quality

Time taken to produce one shirt = 2 hrs

If less order quantity, production is carried out in sampling department itself.

SAMPLING Critical areas for checking:

Collar attach and finishing Sleeve attach and finishing Sleeve placket attach and finishing

For check fabric matching was also a criteria

Machine adjustment is important for different fabric such as needle, spi, thread, needle gauge, feed dog, etc

For eg : For linen fabric as handling was difficult a ball point needle was used.

CAD The software being used for marker making

was of GERBER.

SPREADING Total 24 tables, 18 for plaids and plain fabric

and remaining 6 for checks fabric.

Plaid and plain fabric were spread by automatic spreader with the help of 2 spreaders.

While, check fabric spreading was done manually with the help of 4 spreaders.

10 pin tables were also installed for checks but due to bowing problem, spreading was done manually.

SPREADING

GERBER spreader: Spread length – 5.20 m Time taken to spread – 19.54 sec 2 spreaders

Manual spreader: Spread length – 5.96 m Time taken to spread – 34.38 sec 4 spreaders

CUTTING Cutting department is responsible to

distribute cut pieces to all sewing units in

Bangalore, it is spread over 97000 square feet.

It has a maximum capacity of cutting 1 lakh pieces per day.

It has 8 GERBER automatic cutters and 2 Morgan Razor cutters

QUALITY ASSURANCE After receiving the fabric shrinkage report,

the rolls were sent again for shrinkage rechecking.

Then reports were cross checked, if matched then it was approved for bulk production.

If not, then it was put on hold and according to shrinkage pattern changes were advised and proceeded to stitching.

SEWING The stitching unit is spread in an area of

196227 sq feet with a capacity of 22000 pieces per day.

There are a total of 2685 machines.

There are 18 lines of Unit Production System- ETON installed for assembly with 33 work station in each line.

Garments produced per day per ETON line is around 800 pieces but its capacity was 1200 pieces/day.

SEWING Advantages of ETON system:

Less material handling Increased efficiency Increased productivity Increased quality Better space utilization Flexible

Disadvantages of ETON system: High cost Suitable for large order quantity Garments containing less components

SEWING Time loss on sewing floor:

Loading delay- Due to delay in cutting section which happens due to

delay in fabric. No feeding Fabric rejection in quality checking or high defect

fabric So, 100% panel checking is to be carried out which

takes more time than required, which also results in loading delay.

Start up loss- Operator not at m/c. Sitting idle. No feeding available.

SEWING During the delay alteration work can be carried out

so that operator is not idle.

Some other style can be set on the lines if there is no feeding for some days.

Feeding from nearby factory can be taken so that there is no idle time and money loss can be avoided.

The workers should be made aware of the time loss and the consequent loss in production.

Supervisor to be held accountable for unscheduled breaks and disruptions.

FINISHING 2.5 AQL level is being followed in the

organization but it can change as per buyer requirements.

Wrapping was done after the button attachment to reduce abrasion with the fabric, hence increasing durability.

Garments were sent to another unit for washing which increased the time of finishing by 2 days.
