INTRODUCTION
Management Management controls, in the broadest sense, include the plan of organization, methods and procedures adopted by management to ensure that its goals are met. Management controls include processes for planning, organizing, directing, and controlling program operations. A subset of management controls are the internal controls used to assure that there is prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity's assets. Methodology of management system The art and science of management have developed and changed over the years , and so too have definitions of management. Some early theorists viewed management simply as the ability to work through others. But contemporary managers work with many resources and tools, so this definition of management must be broadened beyond the human aspects. Today, management can be defined as the process of achieving organizational goals through planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the human, physical, financial, and information resources of the organization in an effective and efficient manner. By this definition, management is a distinct process, a set of ongoing, coordinated activities that managers engage in as they pursue the organization's goals. Therefore, a manager is someone who actively participates in the management process through the four functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the resources of the organization. Managers in various organizations are confronted by different challenges and call on different resources, elements such as raw materials, people, information, and money that the organization needs to produce goods or services. Depending on their situation and on their resources, managers stress one or another of the four management functions to accomplish their goals. For example, the chairmen and CEOs of different companies want to focus on leading and motivating to build their business. Naturally, all of these executives, and the managers at every level in every organization, shift their focus from one management function to another as conditions dictate.

REMARKS We have described all the machines specifications, their brand names, a lay out of a short pant and now we can realize how many machines would be required for a garment and what would be their arrangement. Though it always varies for different design or type of garments, it depends on the basic stitch type. We have collected quite a few lay out plan for different garments and special design. Sepal group consists of number of factories so that it is difficult to collect all the specification and other information about all machineries. We have tried our best to collect them. We are grateful to our supervising teacher Mr. Julian for his help while collecting these data.

INTRODUCTION
Raw material means the accessories, fabrics and the other trimmings which all are needed to produce a garment. In another word all the material are needed to produce a garment item or apparel except the machineries and man power could be considered as raw material. These raw materials play a vital role during production. If any kind of defect or disassembly is present then the product quality will be hampered. Beside this raw material must be used in garments factory for ornamentation of the product as well as they provides necessary information. Raw materials used tell a lot about the product and its impact on the potential buyer. As for e.g.: A company who supplies organic food or recycled, environmentally-safe products or services would send wrong signals to buyers if the hang tag or swing ticket was made of aluminum or plastic. Thereby, lays the careful selection of raw material for making tags and swing tickets. Raw material can be classified in two types: 1. Fabrics 2. Trimming or accessories

Fabric
This is the main raw material of a garment. Except this ready made garments can not be thought. Different types of fabric can be used for different garment. It can be varied by color, design, construction etc. Moreover in a particular garment different fabric can be used to produce different parts. Mainly woven fabrics are used for shirt, trouser, pant etc. Basically denim fabrics are used to produce pant & jackets. Knit fabrics are used for knitted goods like T-shirt, polo shirt etc. Sepal group is one of the leading garments in Bangladesh which manufactures a huge quantity of woven garments. Basically they import their required fabric according to buyer recommendation. The most of fabrics are imported from Shanghai & Hong Kong. Realty Textile of Shanghai is one of favorable industry from which most of fabrics are imported for Sepal Group. Some fabrics are also imported from U.S.A. The pocketing fabric are not imported these are collected from local market.

INTRODUCTION
Production planning is the very first step to start a production. At first the company gets an order from buyer and then they start the production planning. Here in Sepal group production planning and production process is specified and extra ordinary. In this chapter we have described all the procedure and the necessary document related to run a production. We also included a sample and all of its information. The ID no of the product is 00247619. There is disclosed a system for fastening together different pieces of an article of clothing so as to enable a customer to select a specific clothing style and design by selection of different garment pieces. The fastening creates a garment seam equivalent to a sewn seam yet provides non-permanent closures for garment assemblage and thus allows a garment to be created specifically to the customer's wish. There is also disclosed a system for producing garments from a plurality of different garment pieces and a simplified design and production schedule. A garment production process wherein garment parts are knitted in a continuous length of knitted material with water soluble yarns being formed in the knit construction between the garment parts. The length of material is moved along its length and bathed with a heated aqueous solution to dissolve the water soluble yarns and separate the garment parts. The separated garment parts are dried and vibrated and passed to subsequent garment making stations. The temperature of the bathing and drying steps and the vibration of the garment parts serve to heat set the garment parts.

DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTION PROCESS


Here we have described the whole production processes which are followed by the Sepal Group after getting an order. We described the processes step by step according to our limitation. We have also attached an order sheet, PID file, a sample, production lay out plan and production flow chart and some other documents to enrich our assignment.

STANDARD INSPECTION PACKET (SIP)


Sepal Group will have to maintain a SIP file for all orders at the factory. Factory will have to make sure that all tests are timely done and approved. The following information has to be in the SIP: PID and any changes to order. MTL Fabric Testing Reports. MTL Pre Production Sample Testing Reports. MTL TOP Sample Testing Reports. Interlining Testing reports. Invoices of all Trims / Fabric that have been ordered from the nominated suppliers. Factory Pre Final/Final inspection reports. TCPS Final inspection reports. Approved fabric swatches and Trim samples Fit and Pre production approval comments Pre-production meeting reports

FABRIC INSPECTION PROCEDURE


Sepal Group must maintain the following fabric inspection procedure: 10 % of all fabric shipments should be inspected prior to cutting. Records should be maintained for every fabric invoice packing list and inspection report. Fabric inspections should be done by using the 4 point system and on the Rotary fabric inspection machine. Fabric inspection cannot be done while spreading. Fabric should be inspected for color accuracy as well as shading (side to side, end to end, roll to roll and number of shade lots). All rolls that are out of the color shading guidelines should be rejected.

Report on Industrial Attachment | SEPAL GROUP

44

All roles with color defects such as side-to-side shading, side-center-side shading, and end-to-end shading will not be given points, but should be rejected. All fabric inspection forms should have the defects classified separately. E.g.:- Stains, Weaving defects, Holes, Slubs, etc. The Four Point system classifies defects as shown in Table 1: Table 1: Four Point System Size of defect 3 Inches or Less Over 3, But not over 6 Inches Over 6, But not over 9 Inches Over 9 Inches Penalty 1 Point 2 Points 3 Points 4 Points

Note - A Maximum of four points can be charged to any one linear yard. The length of defect should be used to determine the penalty points. Only major defects are considered. (A major defect is any defect that, if found in a finished garment, would classify that garment as a second.) No penalty points are recorded or assigned for minor defects.

Major Defects for woven fabrics is classified as follows


a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. Slubs Hole Missing Yarn Conspicuous Yarn Variation End Cut Soiled Yarn Wrong Yarn.

Major Defects for Knit fabrics are classified as follows:


a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. Mixed yarn Yarn Variation Runner Needle line Barre Slub Hole Press off.

The inspection procedure listed below details the steps involved in performing the piece goods inspection in the correct manner. These steps must be followed by the Fabric Inspector/Auditor. Review the packing list and determine how much total fabric to inspect and then how much of each color. Determine how many rolls of each color to inspect and then choose from the packing list and the physical rolls, which rolls are to be inspected. Count the rolls in the shipment to make sure they match the packing list and then mark the rolls that are to be pulled for inspection. Check the packing of the rolls in the shipment to make sure all the packing and markings are correct. Move all the rolls to be inspected to the inspection machine and load the first roll on the machine. As the roll is put on the machine check to make sure the inner packing is correct and proper. Also check to make sure the roll is rolled on the tube squarely and that the tube does not stick out of the end of the roll more then 1 inch on each end. Also make sure the first 3 meters of fabric is rolled properly, not creased or distorted, and that it is clean from dirt and marks. Cut off the first 6 inches and last 6 inches of fabric from each roll and mark it with the roll number, whether it is from the head or tail of the roll, which is the right and left side of the fabric and which side is the face side of the fabric. These strips will then be used in the light box for reviewing end-toend, side-to-side and roll-to-roll shading. Use the head strip to check for end-to-center shading during the inspection.

Inspect the fabric using the recommended form that is included in the manual and mark the faults and their points. Run the inspection machine at a speed that allows you to see the defects properly, yet keeps the fabric moving in a steady and smooth manor. Make sure that you have the proper and adequate light at the machine shining on the face of the fabric. Check the length of the fabric on the roll and compare it to the ticket yardage for the roll. Note this on the Inspection Form. Check the width of the fabric at the beginning and end of the fabric as well as at least once in the middle of the roll. Mark this on the Inspection Form. Check for skewing, bias, and bowing, compare this to the standards and note findings on Inspection Form. When inspection is completed do calculations on the Inspection Form to determine the point count for each roll and whether or not it passes or is a second roll. Make sure all second rolls are separated. Calculate the percentage of the average point count for the shipment per square yard. This will determine if the shipment passes or fails.

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
Example Total yards inspected Width of the fabric Total points found : 700 yards : 1.6 yards : 300 points

i.e. 700 X 1.6 = 1120 Square yards 300 x 100 / 1120 sq yards = 26.78 points Result : Pass

Report on Industrial Attachment | SEPAL GROUP

47

ACCEPTANCE POINT COUNT The max defective points accepted are 28 points per 100 Sq yards. The max defective 1 point accepted is 14 points per 100 Sq yard.

SHRINKAGE REPORTS
For washed products the factory should see that shrinkage is checked for a minimum of 10% rolls per color for every shipment. A test run must be made before starting bulk to ensure shrinkage control techniques and patterns. Test run is the most important check point to verify if the technique and patterns are all correct. Fabrics with a spandex mixture in its composition have to be handled very carefully due to high shrinkage variance between rolls. If the noticed shrinkage variation is more than the garment tolerance then it is recommended that 100% rolls get checked for shrinkage and factory makes groups and different patterns for different groups. It is always recommended to make a average pattern by considering only the tolerance give to the spec. for example if the hip tolerance is 1 you should only consider while making patterns for different shrinkages. Factory will have to study the tolerances given in the spec for Bottoms and tops and decide accordingly on the different patterns required Factory will have to maintain a file on shrinkage reports. All shrinkage tests need to be done on a minimum 50 cm x 50 cm square marking factories have to make a square marking template. Factory will also have to mention the wash recipe and time used to dry the garment in the shrinkage report file. The wash recipe and time that is once set; can not be changed for the full program.

PRE PRODUCTION SIZE SET PROCEDURES


The factory will check if the shrinkage allowance that is added to the pattern is good enough to start the test run. Size sets have to be made for all colors and for all different shrinkage groups. The Pre production pattern has to be used as a base and if the shrinkage of the bulk fabric matches with the shrinkage of the pattern used for the pp sample then the same pattern has to be graded and used for bulk. Any adjustments that are required to make different patterns for different colors and shrinkage groups have to be made to the base pattern. All the stitching details and techniques that factory is planning to use in bulk must be check for accuracy. The factory Quality manager and Quality Auditor will have to check the size set and make a spec report of before wash and after wash to verify that the shrinkage allowances that were added in the pattern is ok or needs to be adjusted. The before wash spec evaluation of the size set has to match with the before wash spec with zero tolerance. If the before wash spec does not match, the inspector will have to analyze and see if the error is in the pattern or if the operators took wrong seam allowances while making the sample. Factory will have to remake samples if the before wash spec doesnt match. The Factory Quality manager will then write all the comments on one of the sample and make it a production reference sample which will be hung on the production floor. The factory Quality manager and Quality auditor will have to make sure that all patterns and templates are signed by the pattern master. Shrinkage percentage has to be mentioned on all patterns for review.

PRODUCTION TEST RUN OBJECTIVE OF TEST RUN


The test run is the most important check point in the full production process. The information gathered from the test run will verify that the techniques, patterns, machinery and the systems are all ready for bulk production. Factory can also make the necessary adjustments for issues that are found in the test run so that they. can be avoided in the bulk production The test run is a replica of bulk so every process and procedure should be exactly as planned for bulk. The test run will also give factory the final before wash spec that will be used by all quality auditors.

TEST RUN PROCEDURE


Factory has to plan a cut of minimum 30 layers. It is very important that factory takes every layer from different rolls. The numbering has to be done from 1 to 30, Numbers have to be written or labeled on the garment so that it can be identified after wash. This will help in checking the shrinkage variations. The cutting marker that factory will use for the test run has to be exactly the same as what they will use in bulk production. Garments have to be then produced in line using the same techniques as bulk. 4 size sets will be then measured for before wash and the same garments will be then checked after wash. Garments have to be numbered with a water proof pen so as to check them against their respective before wash measurements. The size sets have to be specked after wash and after pressing. The needle work, stitching techniques, sewing quality has to be scrutinized and documented. Garments will have to be then ironed and packed the same way as bulk requirements.

OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES:
To follow the procedures as discussed in the Pre-Production meeting To check the spec on 4 size sets before and after wash. To check the spec on the size sets after pressing. To finalize the before wash spec. To approve the final pattern for bulk by adding the correct shrinkage. To make a report on the packed pieces. To make sure that all the issues noticed during production are corrected and taken care of. To finalize the method or procedure to make the product.

CUTTING PROCEDURE

All cutting machine operators must use metal hands gloves while cutting to avoid cut injury on the finger. All cutting department employees must use dust mask while cutting to avoid breathing in cutting dust. Before starting the size set cutting process, all reports and tests should be completed on the fabric to be cut. The size set cutting process should be based on the findings from these reports: 1. Fabric Inspection Report 2. Shrinkage Report 3. Blanket Report 4. Shade Band Report To confirm the shading the fabric should be joined side to side, side to middle and front to end and compared for color variation, if all is ok then size set cutting process should proceed Before and after wash swatch boards must be made for all approved fabric swatches with all kinds of parts (body fabric, pocketing, binding, inside w/band etc. These must be matched under buyer approved light box before wash & after wash.

All lay/cuts must be inspected prior to cutting. The following points that will need to be checked: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Marker Length Marker Placement Counts Tension Leaning Ends Splice Fabric Flaws

Total defects found and action taken towards the defects will need to be noted After cutting the parts, they need to be checked with hard pattern to see if there is any variation between the pattern and cut parts. Nested pattern has to be kept ready before the pilot run cutting. Cutting layer should be selected from one dye lot however if mixed dye lot needs to be used then paper lay must be placed with correct identification information between each dye lot. Cutting table needs to be always clean. If there is any damage on the tables, they need to be repaired immediately. After cutting is complete parts numbering needs be 100 percent accurate for all the cutting parts to avoid size and shading problem on the sewing floor. All cuts must be inspected prior to issue in the line. All cut parts (Top / Middle and Bottom) must be inspected from each layer and recorded. This record includes the name of the component inspected. Variation found (Actual compared with paper pattern) and the action taken towards the defects.

PRE FINAL AUDIT PROCEDURE (FINISHING)


Pre final audit will be done by the factory QA when 10%, 50%, 70% goods are packed. The audit procedure has to be just like the daily pre-final audit done by the factory packing department QC. 1. The cartons that will be pulled for inspection have to be taken from the total cartons packed at that time. 2. The QA report will have to be shown to the Buyers GQC when they come for their regular audits. 3. If goods fail the QA audit, then factory will have to re-check and after all issues are corrected the goods will be offered to the Buyer for their regular audit. 4. The factory QA will select the cartons that are packed at random based on the square root of the total. (The audit will be done as per AQL 2.5).

WASHING PROCEDURES IN WASHING UNIT


Factory QA Manager will receive approved wash standard from merchandisers for hand feel, shade and grinding. Factory QA Manager will ask for wash recipe from the washing plant. Factory QA Manager will provide approved wash standard to the washing plant. Factory QA Manager will provide approved wash standard to the production / QA file. Factory QA Manager will provide approved wash standard to the wash quality auditor / checker. QA Manager will check pre-wash spec against each & every dye lot prior to sending for washing. All pre-wash garments should be stored in a particular place. All subcontract inventory control reports must be maintained in a register. All washed garments must be stored in a particular place. All washed garments spec must be checked and verified for hand feel, shade and grinding against each and every dye lot prior to sending for bulk thread trimming.

REMARKS

Garment production is a very complex work to do because of it needs a huge number of machineries and large man power system as well. To maintain production rate with in shipment time is very important and it is difficult as well. We worked hard to know the whole procedure of a production process. We have collected all the documents are needed to run a production. Some of them we have attached. We have tried our best to collect them. We are grateful to our supervising teacher Mr. Julian for his help while collecting these data. We are also grateful to our respectful teacher Mr. Moshiur Rahman Khan for giving important check routine and advice.

INTRODUCTION
Quality audits are performed to verify conformance to standards through review of objective evidence. A system of quality audits may verify the effectiveness of a quality management system. This is part of certifications such as ISO 9001. Quality audits are essential to verify the existence of objective evidence showing conformance to required processes, to assess how successfully processes have been implemented, for judging the effectiveness of achieving any defined target levels, providing evidence concerning reduction and elimination of problem areas and are a hands-on management tool for achieving continual improvement in an organization. To benefit the organization, quality auditing should not only report nonconformances and corrective actions but also highlight areas of good practice and provide evidence of conformance. In this way, other departments may share information and amend their working practices as a result, also enhancing continual improvement.

COMPARING FIRST PRODUCTION UNIT TO THE CLIENTS APPROVED SAMPLE


The QC department along with the production team must follow the procedures mentioned below while comparing first production unit to the clients approved sample: The QA manager / Line QC will randomly select and pull the first produced garments from the output table and summon all the relevant production employees along with PM to the inspection room for a meeting The approved client sample has to be compared with the first produced units by the QA manager The first units should be checked and verified according to clients specifications Accurate measurements should be taken Trim attachment and positions should also be checked and noted Construction with all critical processes should also be checked and compared

If any non conformity is found, these are identified per Buyers Defect Classification List and shown to the production personnel for rectification The defects should be discussed and their causes identified and explained to the production personnel A corrective action plan should be formulated to avoid the same issues again All points should be documented and acknowledged by all present Records must be retained for future reference.

OPERATOR WISE IN-PROCESS AUDIT PROCEDURE


In line quality inspectors have to check every operator at-least twice a day especially for critical sewing work. The Quality inspectors will pick a bundle that is complete and pull out 7 pieces at random. If they find any defect then the inspection fails. The inspector records the details which will include the operator name, operation, number of pieces inspected, number of defect found, the DPCI number and action taken towards the defects. Steps to be followed in case of a failed bundle inspection: All the pieces of the rejected bundle have to be checked for defects by the operator and fixed before they proceed with the next bundle. At this stage the inspector will have to attach a red ticket to the bundle and also attach a red flag to identify the machine and operator for possible quality problems. The corrected bundle has to be then rechecked by the line supervisor to make sure all defects are fixed before the operator is allowed to proceed with the next bundle. The very next bundle of that operation will have to be also inspected for defects. If no defects are found the operator can then proceed with the third bundle. If the bundle gets rejected then the operator will have to recheck all pieces and alter all the defects. The corrected bundle will have to be re-inspected by the line supervisor to make sure all defects are fixed before the operator can proceed with the next bundle. The third bundle will also be audited and if passed then the flag will be taken of and the operator can proceed with the operation. If this bundle gets rejected then the operator will be stopped from resuming production

and sent for re-training. The factory manager will have to be notified and he will have to sign on the quality form related to that quality operator. The factory manager will have to approve the return of the operator after the training is complete.

Note: The Factory manager and the Production team have to analyze all defects that are found at the red flag area. The machinery and tools used by the operator will also have to be checked for improper setting and defects. If the problem is with the machinery and tools then necessary action has to be taken to correct the issue.

PROCESS END TABLE DEFECT TALLY AUDIT PROCEDURE


A defect tally must be maintained for every line. It is very important that the managers analyze the defects and makes sure that the total defects found per operation decrease as the days pass by. The defect tally must have the following information: a) Operation type b) Defect type c) Hourly tally DPCI number d) Days total defects e) Previous days total f) Corrective action taken Before wash spec on critical positions has to be checked on 100% garments with a template that is fixed on the checking table. The defected garments have to be recorded on an hourly basis. The production team has to analyses all defected garment for spec to see if operators take in the proper seam allowance while stitching. Tolerance of not more than has to be given to spec before wash garments. All reports have to be signed and analyzed by the quality auditors, line supervisors and the production manager. Defects that do not show any improvements and

appear on a daily basis will have to be checked 100 % in line in front of the sewing machines that produces that particular operation.

Offline DUPRO audit and before-wash spec check procedure


The audit must be done on the out put from each sewing line as per AQL 2.5 for workmanship and AQL 4 for Fit. The quality inspector must base the sampling plan based on the days out put per line. The process will be similar as the DUPRO inspection and form used will be Form # 6. All defects will be identified by DPCI number and a defect trend will be analyzed with the factory production team. Before wash spec has to be checked every day and attached to every audit report. Four pieces per size is the minimum one should check. Factory will have to wash the pieces that were measured and re check if they are ok to spec after wash and after ironing. Tolerance of not more than has to be given to the before wash spec and only at some of the spec points. If the before wash spec fails then the immediate conclusion has to be that the operators are either taking a wrong seam allowance or cutting extra at the marrow stitch . Early detection of this problem will help in solving spec issues.

Inline DUPRO Audit Procedure


Factory QA will have to do a DUPRO audit when the factory has completed 10%, 30%, 50% and 90% of production. The factory QA will select pieces from all the lines at random. The Factory QA will also use Form Ref # 6 to do his inspection. The specifications that will be checked during these audits have to cover all sizes and a minimum of 4 pieces per size. The Factory QA will also have to get all pieces measured, washed and then rechecked both before and after ironing. All measurements have to be checked in details during this audit. All defects will be identified by DPCI number and defect trends will be analyzed with the factory production team. The process for DUPRO Audit is as follows: The Inspector has to first decide on the sample selection based on the factorys daily output. The pieces have to be selected at random from all lines. Only garments that have passed the output check will be selected for the audit.
Report on Industrial Attachment | SEPAL GROUP 69

AQL 1.5 STD has to be used to evaluate whether goods passed or failed for workmanship and AQL 4. Defects have to be identified by using DPCI number and a defects trend will have to be made while analyzing the report. Defect classification code will have to be used for specifying every defect. Every defect in the garment will be recorded on the report but only one garment will be counted for major and minor defect evaluation. A defect trend will be made and analyzed with the factory production team. The inspector has to make sure that all defects that are found are attended to inline so that the root cause of the problem is solved immediately. The pre-wash specs have to be checked on 4 pieces per size the garments have to be measured to the specs with a tolerance of inches. If the measurements are out of tolerance, the production team will have to see that all operations are re-checked to verify if the operators are taking excess seam allowance (excess seam allowances and cutting at the narrow seams will cause the spec on the garments to differ from the before wash specs).

DUPRO Audit Procedures before Pre-Final Audit


Factory QA will have to do a DUPRO audit. When the factory has completed 10% - 30% and 50% goods are packed. The audit procedures have to be same as the pre-final audit done by the factory QA and they are as follows: The cartons that will be pulled for the inspection have to be taken from the total cartons packed at that time. All the information gathered during inspection will have to be kept in a DUPRO report. The report will have to shown to the Buyers GQC when they come for their regular audits. If goods fail the audit then factory will have to re-check and offer the factory QA for re-audit after all issues have been fixed. The factory QA should only select cartons that are packed at random based on the square root of the total. (The audit will be done as per AQL 2.5)

Final Table Checker Defect Tally Procedure


The final checkers will have to maintain a defect tally list Form Ref # 7 for analyzing the defects and to make sure the specific defects found on the finished product are controlled and proper action is taken. The defects have to be totaled on a daily basis and proper steps have to be taken by the factory managers to make sure that all issue are controlled in the process. NOTE Factories have to make a defect trend history style wise to keep in records and records have to be analyzed often with the factory manager so that factory can make improvements in systems and procedures to get better in future orders.

Table Specs Check Procedure


Factory has to make a template and fix it on the table for checkers to check the critical specs on 100% garments. Defected garments for spec have to be recorded on an hourly basis.

Daily Pre-final Audit Procedure


Pre final audits have to be done on a daily basis using form Ref# 8. Goods that fail the audit have to be rechecked the following day. All inspections have to be done based on AQL 2.5 for workmanship. The cartons that will be pulled by the inspectors have to be signed and pulled at random to get a proper statistics on the goods. The Square root method will be used to select the quantity of cartons that need to be pulled for every inspection. All inspection reports should have a measurement spec report done based of AQL 4. The factory has to see that a minimum of 4 pieces per size per color is taken for a spec audit.

FRI (Final Random Inspection) Procedures


The final inspection will be done by the factory QA based on the form Ref # 9. The audit will be done only when 80% - 100% of the cartons are packed. The final inspections will be based on AQL 2.5 for workmanship and AQL 4 for spec (fit audit). The number of cartons to be selected will be based on the square root system. The QA will have to check the spec on a minimum of 4 pieces per size. Goods that fail the audit will have to be rechecked and corrected before offering

the buyer to perform their final inspection. The inspector should make sure that he has the following before the starting of the audit: Buyers Standard Inspection Package Red tag Sample Inspection Forms. AQL Chart. Wash /shade band approved samples. Packing List. MTL/CTL test passing reports. Note: Shipment will not be released with out the required passing test reports. The audit can be started when 80% goods are packed provided the balance 20% gets packed while the inspection is in process. The balance 20% then has to be inspected at the end of the audit. The inspector has to then decide on the sample size for the workmanship audit based on the shipment quantity as per the AQL 2.5 (MIL-150E Single Sampling plan Level 2.) The quantity of cartons that need to be pulled will be based on the square root rule. The Fit evaluation has to be done based on AQL 4 (MIL 150 E Single Sampling plan level 2). At least 4 pieces per size need to be measured. The cartons have to be stacked properly in rows of equal height and should be easily accessible. The carton quantity has to be verified first based on the packing list. The cartons that are selected for the audit have to be signed by the auditor and accompanied to the inspection room. The size and color ratio, shading in carton size and printing and paper trims have to be compared with approved samples and the placement has to be checked as per floor ready specs. Packing and folding instructions also have to be verified as per the floor ready specs. All finished pieces have to be stacked size-wise. Inspectors have to then check for care instruction, size on all labels and hangtags. Inspectors will pick two pieces at a time and pair the waist together to check if it matches. This will ensure a 100% check on all size label mistakes.

Garments have to be checked inside out. Zippers and buttons have to be checked for functionality

FABRIC & TRIMS INSPECTION AND STORAGE PROCEDURE


The approved swatch card has to be collected from the merchandising department and kept in the store. All trims must have bin cards affixed on top of the rack where they are stored and they must be stored color and size wise. 10 % percent of all trims must be checked and findings noted in a trims report. Only 1 percent defect is a acceptable rate. The trims report has to be affixed on the bin card. Any one of Hang Tags may be checked from each bundle using a bar code machine and a printed copy must be retained. All trims have to be checked using a UL3000 light source. All rejected trims must be kept in the reject room and disposed of following the buyers recommended disposal process All excess trims must be accounted for and stored in a secure place and a record must be kept for reference until further notice from the buyer. Fabrics have to be kept on pallets. The bin card must be attached to fabric rolls dye lot wise Shrinkage and Fabric Inspection Report should be on the bin card. All fabrics must be issued shade-wise for cutting. All rejected fabric must be placed in the reject room and disposed per buyers disposal process All access fabric must be accounted for and stored in a secure place. Records must be retained for reference until further notice from buyer. Note: Please see the fabric inspection procedure for fabric inspection process.

INTRODUCTION Quality assurance system


Introduction: Now a days quality makes a product perfect. In textile sector quality is very necessary in every step of textile processing assurance of quality level is important. In garments industry keeps a good quality all time. Quality of garment means a garment free from all kind of defects such as oil spot, uneven sewing, Raw edge, frying, defect frees accessories etc. Measurement of quality is done in industry in two ways. One is testing and another is inspection. In SEPAL GROUP inspection is mainly done. Testing procedure is done by APPEXFAIR BUYING HOUSE.

Quality assurance procedure


To assure a good quality it is very vast job .Spreading, cutting, sewing, finishing in every where producer has to maintain and check the garments quality.

FEBRIC TESTING
At first the quality of fabric should be checked. If there found any kind of defect such as hole, knot, spot etc upper than limit then fabric is rejected. Here use 4 point system to detect fabric quality. By 4 point system we find the number of defective points of 1oo yds fabric. It is done by the use of fabric spreading machine. it has a chart. According to this chart with mathematical calculation we find fabric defects. firstly fabric is spreading on machine surface and then the defect is counting per 100 yds of a roll. the chart is given below

THE LENGTH OF DEFECT IN WARP AND POINT WEFT DIRECTION Beyond 3 inch 1 3 inch-6 inch 2 6 inch-9 inch 3

After detect fault need of calculation. the theory is given bellow: points/100yds=total defect pt/total fabric length in yds*100-1*36 inch/width of fabric The limitation of defective point is done by buyer will. BLANKET: to detect shade of color this experiment is done. Shade testing is also done by the use of LIGHT BOX machine. Here 6 types of ray is used to differentiate shade as buyers rule.

DURING SPREADING
The rules are given below: 1. Check that the marker is placed on the spread with the edge parallel to selvedge to the placed goods variety that all cut peaces will be completed. 2. We check all shedding unless ply marked 3. Check for table marks as the table is marked allows no minus tolerance for the splices . 4. We have to ensure no marker is creased damage. 5. After compilation of spread we check the splices to see that both plies extend past the marked splice lie between 0.5 inch to 1 inch. 6. After complete we check the fur edge of the spread to see that all plies are extended beyond marker line. 7. Then we check the tension and count. 8. At last we keep marking the roll which is necessary when reject part is replaced.

DURING CUTTING
The process is given below: 1. We check the miscut 2. We check the top middle & bottom ply compare those to a hard pattern comparison with a hard patterns best tolerance +0.5 inch to -0.5 inch. 3. we check the notch location by placing the pattern over the top ply tolerance +1/8 to 1/8 inch. 4. To compare the marker to pattern paper to ensure .

DURING SEWING
Its very crucial time for quality control. There is lot of inspection done in this section. Before sewing need fusing. Here we check bonding strength. Then its come to sew Inline 7 pcs inspection is the most important inspection. It is invented by a USA buyer MR.JESSYPENY. Here we take 7 pcs garments from bundle of 20 pcs and then check and alter the defective parts. Needle point check up is done daily by one kind of hand shocks. To have uniform tension we daily check machine. Daily goal report is one kind of audit or calculation to reach the goal with quality. We always check the stitch condition. Specially backrise, outseam, inseam, front fly, etc. We make a report to see that. This is called SPI(stitch per inch) report. ALTERATION REPORT is one kind of table inspection. It is expressed as time duration. Defect tally is another kind of quality assurance procedure. Here we must check back part, front part, waist band, side seam etc.

DURING FINISHING:

There are different lay out for different garment .Finishing layout also depend on buyer. Quality assurance system in finishing is given below a. Remove or cut extra thread b. Inside check c. Thread from garments surface is being slashed with the help of slashing machine.

If we get any spot we send it to spot removing lab. By the help of spot removing gun or chemical treatment we remove the spot. At last we make a bundle called blister. In case of shirt or trouser we check button strength by button pulling test. Those are all the procedure of quality assurance system.

INTRODUCTION
Marketing is an integrated communications-based process through which individuals and communities are informed or persuaded that existing and newlyidentified needs and wants may be satisfied by the products and services of others. Marketing is used to create the customer, to keep the customer and to satisfy the customer. With the customer as the focus of its activities, it can be concluded that Marketing is one of the premier components of Business Management - the other being Operations (or Production). The term marketing concept pertains to the fundamental premise of modern marketing. This concept proposes that in order to satisfy its organizational objectives, an organization should anticipate the needs and wants of consumers and satisfy these more effectively than competitors

others. Actually, the process by which companies create value for customers and build strong customer relationship in order to capture value from customers in return. In Sepal group, Marketing is a special branch of the garments sector. We have mentioned earlier that Sepal group consists of four garments factory under one roof so they have a strong marketing department. They need a lot of raw materials to purchase as well as they need to convince buyers to sell their product. So the marketing department should be strong and skillful as well. In Sepal group some raw materials are collected from local market and rest are imported from abroad. It is easy to say that buying them from this country or abroad is not a easy work to do. That is why here marketing accumulation is broadly opened. We have observed the account office and the marketing department and collected some invoice. We were also introduced with some marketing officer. They helped us by giving us information and documents.

MARKETING PROCESS
The marketing concept of building an organization around the profitable satisfaction of customer needs has helped firms to achieve success in high-growth, moderately competitive markets. However, to be successful in markets in which economic growth has leveled and in which there exist many competitors who follow the marketing concept, a well-developed marketing strategy is required. Such a strategy considers a portfolio of products and takes into account the anticipated moves of competitors in the market. For marketers planning is an essential task that must be continually undertaken. As we will see, shifting market conditions, including changing customer needs and competitive threats, almost always insure that what worked in the past will not work in the future, thus requiring revisions in how a product is marketed. Marketing planning is also important since it is often a prerequisite for obtaining funding whether one is a marketer in a large corporation seeking additional money for his or her department or is part of a small startup company looking for initial funding.

Report on Industrial Attachment | SEPAL GROUP

106

To aid in our understanding of planning we introduce a key concept in marketing: the Product Life Cycle. We will see the Product Life Cycle offers valuable insight and guidance for marketing decisions. In this tutorial we also discuss different types of marketing strategy that can be followed to meet marketing objectives. Additionally, we look at how innovative products are adopted within a market and how this impacts marketing planning. We can describe the objectives also in following steps: For creating value for customers and building customer relationship. Understand the marketplace and customers needs and wants. Construct a customer driven marketing strategy. Design a marketing program that delivers supplier value. Build profitable relationship and create customer delight. Capture value from customer in return. In our word we can say simply at first a marketing officer has to understand customers need wants and demands. In Sepal group the needs are identified at the states of left deprivation. Then the wants are calculated by the form needs take as shaped by buyer and individual personality. The demand is however wants that are backed by buying power.

MARKETING STRATEGY
There is a sequence of marketing strategies like following Undifferentiated (mass) marketing Differentiated (segmented) marketing Concentrated marketing Micro marketing (local or individual marketing ) In Sepal Group they have much extra ordinary marketing strategy. We were trying to understand that clearly but could not understand thoroughly. We have described below what we have understand. They have segmented the marketing field in five ways: On the basis of benefit
Report on Industrial Attachment | SEPAL GROUP 107

On the basis of behaviors On the basis of occasion On the basis of user status On the basis of loyalty status

CONSUMER OF THE PRODUCT


Marketing occurs when people decide to satisfy needs and wants through exchange relationship. Exchange is the act of obtaining a desired object from someone by offering something in return. As we have mentioned earlier that Sepal Group is a 100% export oriented garment company so the consumers and the customers are the foreigner normally. America and Canada is the main consumer of the product. Moreover Germany, Hong Kong, Thailand, France, South Africa, Norway, Switzerland etc. are the main consumer of the product. Stores & Importers of Sepal Group: Stores-U.S.A market: THE GAP J.C PENNY WALMART K-MART CHADWICKS OF BOSTON TARGET SEARS and many more. * * * * * * Importers- U.S.A market: KIDS INTERNATIONALS WORLD WIDE APPARELS RADIX APPARELS S.J TRADING FRANK & JANE LLC MILLENIUM CLOTHING

PRODUCT LEVEL

Sepal group divides large heterogeneous market into smaller segment that can be reached more Efficiently and effectively with products and services that match their unique needs. In Sepal group, there are three levels of product 1. Core benefit product 2. Actual product 3. Argumentum product

PACKAGE SIZE
Packaging refers to the development of a container and a graphic design for a product. Packaging can make a product easier to use safer and more versatile. Packaging can make an affect on consumers altitude toward a product, which in turn affect their purchase decisions. In Sepal group packaging serves a number of purposes. It protects the product and maintains its functional form. All the products in here are packaging with the recommendation of buyers. So that here present package who consider the promotional role of packaging using verbal and non verbal symbols which contains the product content, features, uses, advantages and hazards etc.

LEVEL LOCAL MARKET


We know that all the finished goods are prepared in here for exporting in the foreign countries. For that leveling local market is not sufficiently necessary in Sepal group.

IMPORTING COUNTRIES
The main importing countries of Sepal group are America and Canada. They bring their most raw material, accessories and other trimmings from there. Besides this the maximum machines have been bought from China, Japan and Hong Kong.

Some are also been bought from Korea and Malaysia. The sewing machines in here are imported from Japan and China from Brothers companies. In washing unit boiler has been imported from China. There two generators in Sepal group which are imported from U.K.

MANPOWER
The whole marketing department of Sepal Group works under the supervision of merchandising department. A number of marketing officer are worked under the G.M of the company.

REMARKS

In this sense, a firm's marketing department is often seen as of prime importance within the functional level of an organization. Information from an organization's marketing department would be used to guide the actions of other department's within the firm. As an example, a marketing department could ascertain (via marketing research) that consumers desired a new type of product, or a new usage for an existing product. With this in mind, the marketing department would inform the R&D department to create a prototype of a product/service based on consumers' new desires. The production department would then start to manufacture the product, while the marketing department would focus on the promotion, distribution, pricing, etc. of the product. Additionally, a firm's finance department would be consulted, with respect to securing appropriate funding for the development, production and promotion of the product. Inter-departmental conflicts may occur, should a firm adhere to the marketing orientation. Production may oppose the installation, support and servicing of new capital stock, which may be needed to manufacture a new product. Finance may oppose the required capital expenditure, since it could undermine a healthy cash flow for the organization. In Sepal Group all this criteria are maintained so they have good marketing department. Every person of this department works as a team member that helps to reach the goal of the company.

INTRODUCTION Denim washing


Denim washing is the aesthetic finish given to the denim fabric to enhance the appeal and to provide strength. Dry denim, as opposed to washed denim, is a denim fabric that is not washed after being dyed during its production. Much of the appeal of dry denim lies in the fact that with time the fabric will fade in a manner similar to that which artificially distressed denim attempts to replicate. With dry denim, however, such fading is affected by the body of the person who wears the jeans and the activities of their daily life. This creates what many feel to be a more natural, unique look than pre-distressed denim.

Types of denim washes


1. Mechanical washes - Stone wash - Micro sanding 2. Chemical washes - Denim bleaching - Enzyme wash - Acid wash Again, denim washes are of 2 types depending on the presence of water or not: 1. Wet wash -Normal wash -Pigment wash -Caustic wash -Silicon wash -Super white wash -Enzyme wash -Bleach wash -Stone wash

We are very much fortune that we get the chance to do our industrial attachment sepal group of garments. Sepal group is one of the leading ventures in the garments industry operating from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Being a 100% export oriented industry we are approved by the board of investment of Bangladesh and having their own garment manufacturing and washing unit all under one roof. The commencement of business was in 1986 and from the time of inception till now the group has grown many folds as it has always maintained quality and punctuality. In 1986, the year of establishment of sepal groups the picture was not alike as present. At first sepal garments was started with some simple plain sewing machines and with a few operator and one supervisor .In that time garments factory was not familiar in this city. Sepal group is one of the leading export oriented garments manufacturer in our country. It is also developing its knit and dyeing factory.
