SAMPLING DEPARTMENT
Sampling is in Basement of the factory. It is very important department as it has to churn out high quality garment for showing to the buyer and for fitting purpose within a short duration hence need to be highly organized. Consists of sampling master, pattern master, sampling tailor who needs to be highly skilled. The pattern master will make paper patterns for various sampling stages. Master checks out average consumption of the fabric, trims & according to the shrinkage of the fabric pattern is graded. Currently they are making patterns & doing sampling for the new range.

Cutting Department
There was lot of learning in the cutting department as they were working on stripes & check fabric .We have seen how the stripe & check fabric is cut. Fabric is layer on the cutting table then the pattern is placed on the layer margin is left all around the actual pattern for re cutting. Re cutting is done as per the requirement of the Individual pattern like front shirt block is cut by the cutting machine , then it is cut from between individually by the scissors straight flowing the stripe according to the particular color of stripe for the button hole & button placket . Then after attaching yoke to the back panel every single pc is cut individually placing the pattern for shoulder shape& neck shape. After making button placket & button hole placket, Front panel also cut individually placing the pattern. Problems & Disadvantages: While cutting stripes or check fabric there is lot of fabric wastage as extra fabric is needed for stripe& check matching. And cutting of this fabric is time consuming also. There are many chances of mistakes.

There different task were given to us brands survey forecasting designing fabric sourcing etc. I have done brand survey of various brands like Zara, Veromoda, kazoo, forever new, next etc. I have done forecasting for women's wear autumn/winter 2012.

Feedback
Advantages: The company provided a healthy learning environment, making their interns work actively. All resources were provided to their interns Practical approach was given, to widen our horizon Limitations: Indusmode is a small organization, having only one head, i.e. one man army. The company is not well furnished yet, even the basic facilities are lacking. Because of untimely salary workers are not working efficiently. Facings major problems in final inspection. Shipment always crossed their dead lines. Company is not well structured, even the director is not able to handle all the departments.

Conclusion
I concluded that it is really important to satisfy the workers with appropriate salary and rewards, so that they can work happily and efficiently. One person cant handle all the departments there should be manager under the director to supervise the work of different departments.

Apart from this, training was a great experience for me and I got lot of opportunities to learn about the design process how it begins with the forecast and the way it comes to an end with the sampling of the products, the manufacturing process. So far, I have been learning theoretically but during the internship, I actually came across the working of garment manufacturing unit. The best thing we learned was professionalism, and practical approach to widen our horizon.
