ABSTRACT
The now-a-days textile field becomes very competitive & the buyer wants 100% quality
product. For this reason, it is very important to know about the latest technologies in the
textile sector. To produce a quality product as a textile engineer we must have a vast
knowledge about the production parameters & how to produce a high quality product. We
have observed that AKH FASHION produce high-quality fabric and fulfill the special
requirements of the different types of buyers by following different internationally
recommended standard method. We learn sample development, apparel costing, quality,
banking, buyer negotiation etc. We learn how much fabric required 1 dozen garments. How
much thread required for 1 dozen garments sewing & costing calculation etc. We have
learned many things such as different types of machines and their functions, techniques and
their productions & the management systems we have also learned how the desired product is
made ready for shipment from the starting to the end i.e. from merchandising to the
packaging. We have got an idea about the responsibilities of different departments of the
factory. So we think this project will help us in future.

1. Introduction
RMG (Ready Made Garment) is very important and helpful for our Bangladesh. Bangladesh
has emerged as a key player in RMG (Ready Made Garment) sector since 1978. Textiles and
clothing account for about 85% of total export earnings of Bangladesh. Out of which, 75%
comes from the apparel sector which covers the major products of knit and woven shirts,
blouses, trousers, skirts, shorts, jackets, sweaters, sports wears and many more casual and
fashion items. The sector currently employs approximately 1.5+ million workers, mostly
females from underprivileged social classes. We have completed this report on the basis of all

3.16 L/C (Letter of Credit)


Letter of Credit L/C also known as Documentary Credit is a widely used term to make
payment secure in domestic and international trade. The document is issued by a financial
organization at the buyer request. Buyer also provides the necessary instruction in preparing
the document. The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in the Uniform Custom and
Practice for Documentary Credit (UCPDC) defines L/C as:An arrangement, however named
or described, whereby a bank (the Issuing bank) acting at the request and on the instructions
of a customer (the applicant) or on its own behalf:
1. Is to make a payment to or to the order third party( the beneficiary) or is to accept
bills of exchange (drafts) drawn by beneficiary.
2. Authorized another bank to effect such payments or to accept and pay such bills of
exchange (draft).
3. Authorized another bank to negotiate against stipulated documents provided that the
terms are complied with.
A key principle underlying Letter of Credit (L/C) is that banks deal only in documents and
not in goods. The decision to pay under a letter of credit will be based entirely on whether the
documents presented to the bank appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the letter of credit.
3.16.1 Types of L/C
Revocable Letter of Credit
A revocable letter of credit may be revoked or modified for any reason, at any time by the
issuing bank without notification. It is rarely used in international trade and not considered
satisfactory for the exporters but has an advantage over that of the importers and the issuing
bank. There is no provision for confirming revocable Credits as per terms UCPDC, hence
they cannot be confirmed. It should be indicated in L/C that the credit is revocable, if there is
no such indication the credit will be deemed as revocable.
Irrevocable Letter of Credit
In this case it is not possible to revoke or amended a credit without the agreement of the
issuing bank, the confirming bank, and the beneficiary. From an exporters point of view it is
believed to be more beneficial. An irrevocable Letter of Credit from the issuing bank insures

Daffodil International University - 68

the beneficiary that if the required documents are presented and the terms and conditions are
complied with payment will be made.
Confirmed Letter of Credit
Confirmed Letter of Credit is a special type of L/C in which another bank apart from the
issuing bank has added its guarantee. Although, the cost of confirming by two banks makes it
costlier, this type of L/C is more beneficial for the beneficiary as it doubles the guarantee.
Sight Credit and Usance Credit
Sight Credit states that the payments would be made by the issuing bank at sight, on demand
or on presentation. In case of usance credit, drafts are drawn on the issuing bank or the
correspondent bank at specified usance period. The credit will indicate whether the usance
drafts are to be drawn on the issuing bank or in the case of confirmed credit on the
confirming bank.
Back to Back Letter of Credit
Back to Back Letter of credit is also termed as countervailing Credit. A Credit is known as
back to back credit when a L/C is opened with security of another L/C. A back to back credit
which can also referred as credit and counter credit is actually a method of financing both
sides of a transaction in which a middleman buys goods from one customer and sells them to
another. The parties to a back to back letter of credit are:
1.
2.
3.

The buyer and his bank as the issues of the original Letter of Credit.
The seller/manufacturer and his bank.
The manufacturers subcontractor and his bank.

The practical use of Credit is seen when L/C is opened by the ultimate buyer in favor of a
particular beneficiary, who may not be actual supplier/manufacturer offering the main credit
with near identical terms in favor as security and will be able to obtain reimbursement by
presenting the documents received under back to back credit under the main L/C . The need
for such credits arises mainly when:
1. The ultimate buyer nit ready for a transferable credit.
2. The beneficiary does not want to disclose the source of supply to the openers.
3. The manufacturers demand on payment against documents for goods by the
beneficiary of credit is short of the funds.

Daffodil International University - 69

Transferable Letter of Credit


A transferable documentary credit is a type of credit under which the first beneficiary which
is usually a middleman may request the nominated bank to transfer credit in whole or in part
to the second beneficiary. The L/C does state clearly mentions the margins of the first
beneficiary and unless it is specified the L/C cant be treated as transferable. It can only be
used when the company is selling the product of a third party and the proper care has to be
taken about the exit policy for the money transactions that take place. This type of L/C is
used in the companies that act as a middle man during the transaction but dont have large
limit. In the transferable L/C there is a right to substitute the invoice and the whole value can
be transferred to a second beneficiary or middleman has rights to change the following terms
and the conditions of Letter of Credit:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Reduce the amount of the credit.


Reduce unit price if it is stated
Make shorter the expiry date of letter of credit
Make shorter the last date for presentation and documents
Make shorter the period for shipment of goods
Increase the amount of the cover or percentage for which insurance cover must be

effected.
7. Substitute the name of the applicant (the middleman) for that of the first beneficiary
(the buyer).

4. Result & Recommendation

They should follow appropriate merchandising technique.

Adequate training facilities provided for personnel for development. Should follow
a specific inventory costing method, in the context of rising trend in raw materials
price.

They should determine yearly inventory cost like ordering cost, carrying cost
acquisition cost separately.

For purchasing raw materials, AKH FASHION should follow acquisition procedure
strictly.

AKH FASHION should analyze the balance sheet through various ratios for
determining efficiency, profit-earning capacity, financial solvency etc.

AKH FASHION should develop merchandising system and strictly. They should
determine optimum level of inventory.

Sound communication should be established between managing directors to


merchandiser. Steps to be taken to increase fire service equipment are to face any
kind of accident.

Cost control system must be implemented at every stage in the organization.

Most of the Merchandiser has to motive to teach every Merchandiser and


researcher of their own inspiration.

A specific department for training and research, which will provide adequate
training and research facilities for personnel for development.

Every Merchandiser will communicate their problem with other Merchandiser of


the company.

Medical facilities should be improved.

Effective personnel management should be set up.

Proper steps should be taken to stop power failure.

Various motivations will be provided to workers for sound production.

5. Conclusion
During my internship program I tried to gather as much as information as possible to
illustrate a clear-cut image about the importance of the merchandising and marketing section
of AKH FASHION and the value of the H&M Buyer for the garments industry. The guiding
principle of the company is to develop and maintain strong, secure relation with buyers and
suppliers. The study will disclose present scenario of H&M merchandising system and
Practices at AKH FASHION. The topic Refining Merchandising Procedure of H&M in
AKH FASHION. gave me an opportunity to have an exposure to the working environment
and on the job experience in merchandising of AKH FASHION. In Bangladesh we specially
means by Merchandising the merchandising of garments. A merchandiser is the most
important person in a garment. All works in garments factory under the direction of a
