INTRODUCTION
By achieving practical knowledge it is possible to apply the theoretical knowledge in the practical field. For any technical education, practical experience is almost equality necessary in association with the theoretical knowledge.
The industrial attachment is the most effective process of achieving practical experience. University education provides us vast theoretical knowledge as well more practical knowledge, despite of all these Industrial Attachment helps us to be familiar with technical support of modern technology, suitability about various processing/operation stages.
It also provides us sufficient practical knowledge about production management, productivity evaluation, work study, efficiency, industrial management, production planning and control, production cost analysis, inventory management, purchasing, utility and maintenance of machinery and their operation technique etc. The above mentioned cannot be achieved successfully by means of theoretical knowledge only. Industrial attachment makes us reliable and improves courage and inspiration to take self-responsibility.
We had the opportunity to perform the industrial attachment with Givensee Group of Industries Ltd. During 42days (6-Weaks) long attachment, We studies the man, Machine, material expects of the Batching, Dyeing section (Knit fabric), Finishing section, Quality Control, Lab, Knitting section, store & inventory control of the mill. According to my studies there we have prepared the following report and would like to present.
We have prepared this report according to the guideline given by the University authority, which will lead to a strong guideline and milestone for our future career.

PRODUCTION PLANNING, SEQUENCES & OPERATION
Introduction and Basic Procedure of Planning and Control:
A planned work brings success. Without planning nothing is completed within the required
time. So planning has its own importance which is intolerable. "Planning" gives a scheduled task
and 'control' completes it successfully. But production planning and control is not an easy task.
So Esquire Knit Composite Limited’s has a high-performance department called "Production
Planning & Control". Its Basic working procedure is as follows –
Taking orders from marketing division.
Analyzing the orders.
Planning for knitting the fabric.
Planning for dyeing the fabric.
Planning for finishing the fabric.
It is only a basic procedure. It may change according to the type of order. Sometimes, order is
places only for finishing the material or only for dyeing the white goods. Then some steps are
omitted for planning procedure.
Taking orders from marketing division:
EKCL marking division supplies Fabric Orders to the EKCL Planning and control division by a
special format.
Analyzing the orders:
This section analyzes the orders according to buyers, Order Quantity, type of orders (i.e. type of
fabric, color to be dyed etc.), delivery date etc. Then it selects which M/C. to use, no of M/C. to
use, time required for production etc. This section plans for required quantity of fabric to be
knitted
42. 42
(Order quantity + 6% of Order Quantity), knitting balance, fabric need to be dyed. Dyeing
balance, RFD (Ready for delivery), RFD balance, delivered fabric and delivery balance.
Planning for knitting:
This section plans for knitting production. It selects machine for knit the fabric for specific type
of fabric, type of yarn used, required GSM, width etc. It also gives delivery data for knitted
fabric. It also places orders for buying of yarn from spinning mills by a specific schedule.
Planning for dyeing the fabric:
Production planning for dyeing is called 'Batch Plan'. According to the batch no. And color,
width, style and construction the batch plan is made. For easy understand this section gives
some 'ROUTE CARD.' cards. "ROUTE CARD' cards are serialized according to the priority of
delivery. The batches and "ROUTE CARD ' cards also serialized as to dye light shade at first and
lastly the dark shades, since faulty shades can be converted to dark color later.
Planning for finishing the fabric:
Finishing schedule is same as the dyeing. After dyeing the material goes to the finishing section
with the batch plan. Finished data is written to the batch card and is informed to the planning
section.
However, this section always enforces to all the departments to finish all the works within the
delivery time given by the buyers. This section delivers materials by truck, micro, air etc to the
customer within the meantime. Thus it plays a very important role in the success of the
company.

DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTION PROCESS:
1. Firstly, knitting manager gets a production shit from the merchandiser as accordance
as consumer requirements then he informs or orders production officer about it.
2. Production officer informs technical in charge and knows about machine in which the
production will be running.
3. Technical in charge calls for leader of mechanical fitter troops, they two take decision
about machine for production considering machine condition, production capacity,
maintenance complexity, etc.
4. Production officer with experienced mechanical fitter adjusts required stitch length
and grey GSM for required final GSM.
5. Supervisor checks daily production regularity and make operator conscious about
finishing tin due time.
6. Operators operate machine in high attention as if there were no faults in the fabrics. If
he thinks or sure about any fabric fault, then he calls for the mechanical fitters in duty.
Mechanical fitter then fixes it if he can or he informs technical in charge. Then he
comes in spot.
7. After required production and final inspection in 4-point system, they sent in dyeing
section.

Method of Increasing Production
1. By increasing m/c speed:
Higher the m/c speed faster the movement of needle and ultimately production will be
increased.
2. By increasing the number of feeder:
If the number of feeder is increased in the circumference of cylinder, then the number of
courses will be increased in one revolution at a time.
3. By using machine of higher gauge:
The more the machine gauge, the more the production is. So by using machine of higher gauge
production can be increased.
4. By imposing automation in the m/c:
a) Quick starting & stopping for efficient driving system.
b) Automatic m/c lubrication system for smoother operation.
c) Photo electric fabric fault detector.
5. By imposing other developments:
• Using creel-feeding system.
• Applying yarn supply through plastic tube that eliminates the possibilities of yarn
damage.
• Using yarn feed control device.
• Using auto lint removal.

Creel
Creel is a part of knitting machine. Here yarn
packages are stored for yarn feeding in the
machine.
MPF Wheel
Its control the speed of the MPF. Pulley belt
gives motion to the wheel.
MPF
It’s mean Mamminger positive feed. It gives
equal length yarn distribution in the knitting
cycle.
VDQ Pulley
It is a very important part of the machine. It
controls the quality of the product. Altering the
position of the tension pulley changes the G.S.M

Description of production process:
Washing for colored fabrics:
The colored fabrics to be washed are loaded in the machine.
Required amount of water is taken.
PCLF (detergents) added & washing continued at 80°C for 20 min.
Cold washing.
Scouring-bleaching:
Fabric to be scoured is loaded in the machine.
Required amount of water is loaded
Washing agent/ detergent is added.
Steam pipes are on & scouring agents (i.e. Caustic soda/ Soda ash) added when
the temperature reaches at 50 C.
When the temperature reaches at 60°C then stabilizer is added.
Then H2O2 is added.
Temperature is then raised to 90°C and the process is then carried out for 60-90
min. depending on the requirements.
The liquors are then drained. Then cold wash at 30°-40°C, hot wash at 70°-80°C
and acid wash at 60°-70°C is done.
61. 61
Dyeing:
After acid wash all liquors are drained out
Required amount of water is taken
Then leveling agents, anti-creasing agents, de-foaming agents are added according to
the requirement
Steam pipes are on & after 10-15 min. dyes are added Salts are added after another 30
min.
Then soda ash after another 30 min.
Then the temperature is raised slowly up to the mark
The process is carried on and samples are taken after every 30-40 min. to match with
the target shade. It continues until shade matching.
If the sample is matched, then the liquors drained out
Then cold wash at 30°-40°C, hot wash at 70°-80°C, acid wash at 60°-70°C is done
Then softener is added at 40°C for 20-30 min.
Fixer is applied for deep shade only before adding softener
Re-dyeing:
When shade is not matched then fabric is treated again in dyeing machine for shade matching
is known as re-dyeing.
Generally, re-dyeing is done if the shade is deeper than the target shade. It may occur when the
fabrics absorb one or two colors more or less. One re-dyeing process is described below.
Drain the let off solution.
Hotwashat70°-80°C.
Acid wash at 60°-70°C(600 for light shade & 70° for deep shade).
Soda ash washes at 90°-100°C for 60mins to reduce the depth of shade.
Acid wash at 60°C.
Addition to required dyestuffs.
Salt addition.
Soda ash addition.
Other operations are same as previous described dyeing operations.

Problemencountered in dyeing
Uneven Dyeing
a) It can be caused due to rapid addition of dyes and chemicals. For this purpose the
dosing of soda ash should be maintained properly.
b) Pressure difference.
c) Over loading in the m/c.
d) Yarn lot mixing.
e) Improper control of temperature.
f) Less amount of leveling agent.
g) Improper pretreatment.
Uneven Shade in Rope to Rope:
a) Improper rope length in each chamber.
b) Improper fabric flow speed in each nozzle.
Off Shades:
a) Improper M: L ratio.
b) Lower amount of auxiliaries.
c) Improper mixing of dyestuffs.
Dye Spots:
This is most common fault caused by operator not correctly mixing and thoroughly dissolving
dyestuffs in the right amount of water.
90. 90
Batch to batch shade variation:
If any of parameters of dyeing are changed then it will produce problems in batch to batch
consistency. In order to avoid this defect the following steps should be followed-a)
Maintain the same liquor ratio.
b) 2. Check that the fabric has the same dye affinity.
c) Use the same standard program procedures for each batch.
d) Making sure that the operators add the right Bach of chemicals at the same time &
temperature in the process.
e) Check the water supply daily especially ph, hardness & Na2COs content.
Crease Mark:
Crease marks are produced due to the lower concentration of anti-creasing agent and improper
cooling rate (defective cooling gradient). This is encountered by increasing the concentration of
anti-creasing agent and proper adjustment of cooling rate.
Patchy Dyeing:
It is caused, if dye solution is not correct and also scouring is improper.
Process of Shade Matching:
The required shade provided by the buyer is reproduced in the lab in lab dyeing machine after
the recipe prediction. The lab in-charge first uses the Computer Color Matching System, to
obtain the closest shade match recipe. Then he consults the shade card and Pantone book to
verify the obtained recipe. If he thinks that certain changes in the recipe are necessary, he then
alters the recipe according to his experience. This recipe is used to dye a sample of 5 gm fabric
in the lab dyeing machine with following parameters.

Compressed Air:
The requirement of compressed air is fulfilled by air compressor m/c. In this m/c, natural gas is
drawn by pipe through the filter above the compressor & the air is compressed. In such a case
the air becomes slightly hot. Hence cold water is drawn to reduce the temperature of
compressed air. While doing so, the cold water becomes slightly hot & it is transferred through
outlet pipe to the overhead reservoir. There the vapors are condensed and outlets drop by
drop. Then the water is set to fall slowly through the reservoir to the compressed air to obtain
moist compressed air.

Recommendation
The working condition of HGL Garments Ltd is much better than most of the textile
manufacturing industry in Bangladesh. But there are few points that might be considered for
improving the current quality and productivity.
Dyeing
i. Operators should be warned to be careful about maintaining proper time of dyeing.
ii. Wastage of water should be reduced.
iii. During the transportation of the fabric in the dyeing floor & also during the loading of
the machine, fabrics are soiled for the contact with floor. This makes the fabric/part of
the fabric dirty. It may require more scouring/bleaching agent or may create stain.
Finishing
I. Use of vacuum cleaner to reduce dust during cleaning machines.
II. Online quality control system should be introduced for greater performance.
III. Removing of unused machine or machine part from finishing and inspection floor.
IV. Workers and staffs of finishing and inspection should be compelled to wear mask during work.
Common suggestions:
I. Drainage system should be improved to displace the rain water efficiently in front of dyeing
floor.
II. Color of ribbon of ID card must be different for executives, interns, staffs & operators so that
everyone can identify themselves easily.

CONCLUSION:
Industrial training is an essential part for textile education because it minimizes the gap
between theoretical and practical knowledge. Undoubtedly, this industrial training helped us a
lot about textile technology, production process, machineries, and industrial management and
made us comfortable with industrial life. Besides it hive is the first opportunity to work in
industry.
During our two month long industrial training at HGL We got the impression that this factory is
a modern export oriented composite knit including industry. Though it was established9 years
ago, it has earned a very good reputation in foreign market for its best quality product over
many other export oriented textile mills. They are very much concerned about the quality
control of each product. They have well equipped & modern textile testing laboratory. They do
all the chemical & physical tests of dyed good and the results are very good and within the
buyer’s acceptance limit. Moreover they use good quality yarn, dyes, & chemicals in
production. The administration, management and chain of command are well organized.
Mill is settled with utility to give all convenient supports to the productions for twenty- four
hours. It had self-power generator system to satisfy total power consumptions of the mill.
We are enough fortunate that we have got an opportunity of having a training in this mill. This
mill owner home district in Pabna & here 85% workers & officer’s home district also in Pabna.
We got many help from workers& officers.Md. Ibrahim H0ssain, Assistant Dyeing Manager of
Hotapara Garments LTD. always helped us very sincerely and carefully, So many thanks for
him.During the training period we received co-operation and association from the authority full
& found all man, machines & materials on appreciable working condition. All worker & officers
were very sincere & denoted their duties to achieve their goal.
