INTRODUCTION AND DESIGN OF THE STUDY

INTRODUCTION

The garments industry in India is one of the best in the world. An

extremely well organized sector, garment manufacturers, exporters,

suppliers; stockiest and wholesalers are the gateway to an extremely

enterprising clothing and apparel industry in India. There are numerous

garments exporters, garments manufacturers; readymade garments exporters

etc. both in the small scale as well as large scale.

Garment Manufacturing and Export industry, which most of us know is the

real engine of growth for the whole textiles sector in India. Without

substantial and quick development of this sector, there is not much scope for

the growth of Indian Textiles for exports. Foreign buyers look for a complete

package as finished product and not only fabric. Most of the far-eastern

countries especially China have developed there textile sector on the

strength of garment industries in their regions. So we have to take a proven

track for our growth.

The garment industry has emerged as a dynamic and booming industry.

This trade has got socio-economic importance as it is essentially a labor in

extensive industry and has the potential to generate wide spread employment

particularly of rural and backward areas. The rapid growth of this industry in

the last few years revealed the massive export potential.

The entrepreneur are setting up new factories and trying to employ more and

more professional to take care of senior positions of their organization. To

teach the various technical stages of garment making. Companies should

also gear up with sophisticated machineries and proper infrastructure with

pleasant environment to take care of the required quality standards and to

meet the healthy competition in the international market.

The industry has presence of large-scale production units a well a small-

scale independent units. The industry is manufacturer driven with spinning

having large scale operations and the retailing as the weakest link. However

now India has reached more customers, due to our growth in vertical set up

4.2 CUTTING DEPARTMENT

Marker gives the marker plan according to sizes, all the components

with respect to the size, on a paper, which is done by plotter.

Then lays are laid on the table one above the above accurately; on this

lay marker planned paper is placed.

Cutter with straight knife cuts according to the marker plan, thus

different components are cut.

Inspection in cutting

All the cutted components are inspected

If there are any defects, that panel is rejected ,and that rejected panel

is are cut i.e. another replica is made.

Again it is inspected by QC.

Then inspected components i.e. acc to sizes all the components are

stored in a bag.

This bag is sent for sewing section.

Cutting is the very first process in garment manufacturing. The cutting

department receives the fabric from the fabric department after inspection.

The main objective of cutting section is cutting of garment parts

accurately, economically and in sufficient volume to keep the sewing room

supplied with work.


Sun creations

As soon as fabric receives after inspection, a sample of fabric is sent

to testing for shrinkage test, once it approved then widthwise segregation is

done for fabric bundles and then issued to the cutting process. According to

the size ratio and production rate of sewing department cutting section plans

for the lays to be laid.

4.3 QUALITY DEPARTMENT

Quality is the main feature in a product that delights the customer by either

meeting or exceeding expectations. As per ASQC (American Society for

Quality Control)

“Systematic approach to the search for excellence.”

“Fitness for use” i.e. combination of characteristics or properties of product

which makes the product usable.

Quality is every body’s concern. A product of service noted for its quality is

never happened by accident. It is the result of careful planning, control and

management process.


Sun creations

Managing of quality and quality importance:

Most of the people have a conceptual understanding of quality has relating

one or more desirable characteristics that a product or service should

possess. What is quality? Many of us attribute different terminology to the

term quality. For many, quality is good appearance, better prints of color,

better durability etc., however quality means conformance to requirements.

Popular definitions is “Quality is what customer ask”

Definition given by ISO is as follows “Degree to which a set of inherent

characteristic* fulfills requirement.”

In many manufacturing process there are two general aspects of fitness for

use –

Quality of design and

Quality of conformance.

Before commencement of production operation commences, it is necessary

to understand what is to be designed and made. This follows the actual

manufacturing of the intended product. Finally it must be ascertained

whether me product designed and manufactured is what was intended.

Hence it is convenient to mink of all matters related to quality of a product n

terms of three functions i.e. specifications, productions and inspection.

Continuous improvement process is the focus of today’s quality revolution.

In companies that are involved in this revolution, this continuous

improvement has two components


Sun creations

1. Philosophy

2. Problem solving/ graphical techniques

Philosophy: there are common points in the operating philosophies in these

companies they are follows:

That improving quality by removing the causes of problems in the

system inevitably leads to improved productivity.

That the person doing the job is most knowledgeable about the job.

That people want be involved and do their job well.

That every person wants to feel like a valued contributor.

That more can be accomplished working together to improve the

system than having individual contributors working around the

system.

That a structured problem solving process using graphical techniques

produces better solutions than in an unstructured process.

That graphical problem solving technique let us to know where we

are.

Though a number of statistical techniques are used in industrial,

manufacturing and other business situations mostly used and widely

understood statistical tools are known as seven quality control tools.


Sun creations

The most commonly practice quality control tools in the company are:
