EXECUTIVE SUMMERY
“Green Life Knit Composite Ltd.” is a manufacturer of knit composites. It is a 100% export-
oriented hybrid knit textile unit dedicated to meeting the global demand for knit and casual
clothing in the twenty-first century. The project has surrounded the knitting, dyeing, and
processing of fabrics as well as the development of ready-made garments to be available from
one stop service in the context of changing global demand patterns, international trade climate,
particularly the withdrawal of quota system and GSP, and the availability of craftsmanship in
the country.
The project ensures that everything from sampling to supply of finished ready-made garments
comes from a single source, ensuring on-time delivery and quality compliance. The machines
& equipment setup for this project are procured from world class brands, names that are
renowned for their high quality, product integrity & dependable production. The manpower

accountability. Considering all the above features to learn about the technology of textile
manufacture as well as management & maintenance, “Green Life Knit Composite Ltd.” was
surely a good choice. I feel very lucky to complete our industrial attachment here.

Fig. 6.1: Production Process Diagram of Green Life Knit Composite Ltd.
6.1.1 Description of production process
After receiving order planning department start to production planning. Trims and accessories
that the factory received. The quarantine area is then kept for inspection. If the material passes
inspection, it moves from the store to the inventory. Trims and accessories are kept separate
and ready for use after all necessary information has been entered in the register log book (with
bin card). The fabric is received in the same manner and is kept in the quarantine area for
inspection. After the fabric inspection is completed and found to be successful, the inventory
enters all necessary information using a bin card. The preproduction stage was then planned
(PP meeting, Size set sample preparation, Buyer & internal meeting, meeting with QC, line
layout & man power allocation etc.). The fabric then moves through the cutting portion for a

cut. Cutting section confirmed production pattern & marker consumption start to spread. After
Cutting the fabric then Cut fabric parts are sorting, numbering, bundling (according to the Size)
& QC inspection the cut panel. Then the Cut fabric are ready for input.
The start of production occurs simultaneously. For production, the first line layout is planned
with the items in mind. The production is then advanced by allocating man and machine. In
charge & supervisor provide certain information for sewing the product once man machine is
allocated the line. Then, after continuously stitching the same area of the garment, one operator
passes the finished area to the following one. As an illustration, the first worker might sew the
pocket facing to the body of the garment, and the second worker might stitch the pocket seam
to the body. After complete the garments it keeps in specific area for QC checked the garments.
After garments are QC passed then ready for wash.
Washing section received the garments & separate the garments according to the shade.
Garments wash according the buyer requirement & merchandiser providing sample. After wash
garments are passed to finishing section. For finishing section at first Shade check, loop cut,
thread cut, Inside & outside inspection. Then garments pass the ironing table iron. Then it
passes the final inspection table QC checked critical process & measurements the garments.
Then it passes input table for attach hang tag, waist tag. QIC match the hang tag, care label
with waist tag & checked the barcode with PO number. Then garments pass the metal detector
machine for check.
Clothes are then folded, packed, and cartooned in accordance with the buyer's packing
requirements. The hourly carton audit was then scheduled. The auditor upholds the carton's
quality. The last step is to keep the clothes in a finished, clean place for pre-final inspection.
Afterwards it's prepared for shipping.
6.2 knitting Process
Knitting is the process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn or thread using knitting
needles or a knitting machine. To start knitting, you need to choose your yarn and needles, and
then cast on the stitches onto the needle. Once the stitches are cast on, you can begin the knitting
process by working the stitches in various patterns such as knit, purl, or cable stitches. You can
also change colors, add stitches or decrease stitches to create patterns or shapes. Once you have
completed your project, you can bind off the stitches and cut the yarn.

14 Conclusion & Recommendation
14.1 Conclusion
We have to completed our internship report successfully by the grace of almighty Allah.
Industrial training is an essential part for textile education because it minimizes the gap
between theoretical and practical knowledge. Undoubtedly, this industrial training has taught
me a lot about textile technology, production processes, textile machineries, industrial
management, and made me comfortable to industrial life. Besides it gave me the first
opportunity to work in industry.
“Green Life Knit Composite Ltd.” is a well-known factory in the textile field of Bangladesh.
The administrative, management, chain of command all are the well-organized. They are well
equipped with all of the modern machineries and the working environment is excellent. The
relation between top management to bottom level is so nice & devoted to satisfy the customer
demand by their activities.
Factory regulated utility to provide all the appropriate support for production during twenty-
four hours. In my industrial secondment program, I tried to do my job as well as I could. My
supervisor was satisfied with my behavior and offered to cooperate step by step. The training
partners, on this regard, were also very much co-operative and friendly. I am sure that the
knowledge I have gathered from this training will make a positive influence in my future
profession. It was a whole new experience in my life that will be very fruitful of service.
14.2 Limitation of The Report

possible to do so.
• Some of the points in different chapters are not described as these were not available.
• This whole process is not possible to bind in such a small frame as this report, hence
our effort spent on summarizing them.

14.3 Recommendation
“Green Life Knit Composite Ltd.” is notable to produce all types of knit garment. We think
their accuracy will increase to a maximum level. For sewing, they need using modern machine
& that their product quality will be higher. For cutting they are using manual straight knife
cutting machine but if they use computerized cutting m/c their accuracy will increase & their
efficiency will increase to a maximum level. We think if they improve the above things their
product quality, their efficiency & their accuracy will be maximum.
