How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

is prepared then after approved the sample the bulk order is produced. In a product package the
information for a garment can be achieve:
Style no. of garments.
Item no. of garments
Design of garments.
Measurement list of garments.
Colour of the garments.
Size of the garments.
Packing information of the garments.
Folding instruction of the garments.
Types of sewing thread used in different garments.
Types of stitch used in the garments
Types of trimmings & accessories used for the garments.
Exact place of attaching the accessories.
Instruction of care label.
Types of fabric used.
Consumption & Construction of the garments.
Types of Sample:
1. Fit Sample: The sample which is made by following only the measurement chart. Then the
sample we gate is called fit sample.
44. 44 | P a g e
2. Photo type Sample: Actual fabric and the accessories used to make this fabrics then it is send
to the buyer. It is only one size Like “M”.
3. Size Set Sample: When all size of sample are included in a set those sample is called is size
set sample.
4. Production Sample: During production some of the sample garments collecting from the
production line then send to the buyer these are called production sample.
5. Shipping Sample: After final inspection, when shipment the goods to the buyer destination

Fabric Spreading:
Spreading means the smooth laying of fabric in specific length and lay according to the buyer
requirement. The cutting marker paper is laid in the top of the fabric layer. Generally number of
the lay depends on the thickness of the fabric and the height of the fabric. There are different
45. 45 | P a g e
types of spreading method. But in Bangladesh the Straight method of spreading is used. In
Straight method, every ply is placed according to the marker length.

MarkerMaking:
Marker is a thin paper where all parts of a Style drown by placing pattern by pencil and then it
placed upon a lay and cut along the drawing line is called marker. The process of making a
marker is called marker making. There are many types of method are use for marker but Hypoid
Composite Knit used only manual method.
Point to be checked during marker making:
Mismatched checked or stripe.
Over Lapping.
Parts missing.
Pattern direction.
Pattern alignment.
Marker too wide then fabric.

Factor related to marker efficiency:
1. Marker planner: Marker depends on experience, honesty, sincerity, trial and technical
knowledge. Higher the number of marker is the possibility of higher efficiency.
2. Size of garments: Higher the number of pattern size is the possibility of higher efficiency.
3. Marker length: Higher the marker length higher the efficiency. It can also help to increase
the production capacity of cutting room.
4. Fabric characteristics: Systematical fabrics are those which are similar to all direction.
Marker efficiency is good in this type of fabrics.
5. Marker width: The more the fabric width is easier to plan or make marker which will
increase the efficiency.

Sorting/ Bundling:
The sorter sorts the patterns according to size and design and makes bundles of them. This step
requires much precision because making bundles of mismatched patterns can create severe
problems. On each bundle there are specifications of the style size and the marker too is attached
with it.

Sewing Section
The sorted bundles of fabrics are now ready to be stitched. Large garment manufacturers have
their own sewing units other use to give the fabrics on contract to other contractors. Stitching in-
house is preferable because one can maintain quality control during the processing. On the other
hand if contractors are hired keeping eye on quality is difficult unless the contactor is one who
precisely controls the process.
There are what is called sewing stations for sewing different parts of the cut pieces. In this
workplace, there are many operators who perform a single operation. One operator may make
only straight seams, while another may make sleeve insets. Yet another two operators can sew
the waist seams, and make buttonholes. Various industrial sewing machines too have different
types of stitches that they can make. These machines also have different configuration of the
frame. Some machines work sequentially and feed their finished step directly into the next
machine, while the gang machines have multiple machines performing the same operation
supervised by a single operator. All these factors decide what parts of a garment can be sewn at
that station. Finally, the sewn parts of the garment, such as sleeves or pant legs,are assembled
together to give the final form to the clothing.

Object of Finishing:
To enhance the suitability of the fabric for end use.
To improve appearance and sale appeal for comport and utility. To give desirable
qualities to the fabric like-
1. Luster
2. Drape
3. Dimensional stability
4. Crease recovery
5. Softness
6. Soil repellence
60. 60 | P a g e
Working Flow in the Finishing Room:
As mentioned earlier, workflow in the Finishing Department is shown here for reference:
Eliminate micro-dust and residual thread from the garment;
Press/iron garments as specified by buyer or as per requirements;
Fold the garments as required by customer;
Fix necessary tickets (Price tickets) or tags (hang tags),etc to the garments at this stage;
Insert garments into poly bags;
Divide garments as per size and color (assortment);
Package garments inside the cartons.
CharacteristicsofWell Finished Garments:
Good fitting is achieved by doing the work with care, patience and practice. A well-fitted
garment feels comfortable, adjusts naturally to the activities of the wearer, is becoming in line
and amount of ease and consistent with current fashions.
Initial Production Check:
This is carried out when the production of the total quantity of an order or partial delivery is
completed. A sample lot will be selected from the order and a percentage of the garments will be
inspected, this percentage usually being stipulated by the buyer. The AQL sampling inspection
may be applied or another inspection system designed by the buyer.
The GeneralRules of Spot Removing:
1. The longer a stain remains, the tougher it is to remove.
2. Always treat a stain before laundering.
3. Blot gently — never rub; and don't ever blot with hot water.
Lipstick Stain Removing:
Blot with a baby wipe or a washcloth moistened with rubbing alcohol.
Blood Stain Removing:
If it's fresh, blot repeatedly with cold water, an ice cube, or club soda; if it's dried, use a 3 percent
hydrogen-peroxide solution.
Oil Stain Removing:
61. 61 | P a g e
Cover with talc or baby powder immediately and allow it to sit at least a half hour. Then brush it
off, apply a stain remover (such as Spray n' Wash), and wash in the hottest water the fabric can
stand.
Ink Stain Removing:
On cotton, apply rubbing alcohol to the spot, then wash. On polyester, spray liberally with hair
spray and pat with a clean, dry cloth. Then wash.
Red wine Stain Removing:
Douse with salt, dunk in cold water, blot until the stain disappears, and wash as soon as possible.
If you're at dinner and unable to strip down, soak the spot with club soda and get home to your
washing machine ASAP.
Ironing:
Ironing is the use of a heated tool (an iron) to remove wrinkles from fabric. The heating is
commonly done to a temperature of 180–220 °Celsius, depending on the fabric. Ironing works
by loosening the bonds between the long-chain polymermolecules in the fibers of the material.
While the molecules are hot, the fibers are straightened by the weight of the iron, and they hold
their new shape as they cool. Some fabrics, such as cotton, require the addition of water to loosen
the intermolecular bonds.

Fig: Final Inspection
Ironing and Pressing Equipment:
In the garment industry, equipment for handling fabrics with damp heat to iron surfaces, fold
edges, iron out seams, shape flat parts, and raise the pile during the manufacture of clothing.
Ironing and pressing equipment shapes the semi finished garment by bringing the fabric fibers
into a highly elastic state and then deforming and setting them. This is done by the simultaneous
action of moisture, heat, and pressure on the fabric.
Inspection Procedure of Garments are Described Below:
Confirmation of Quantity:
First step of garment inspection start with confirmation of Quantity with the vendors packing list
by counting all Pecs of each box. If Qty is not matching to the packing list and written in the box
then this discrepancy is informed to the vendor.
Size Spec inspection:
After confirmation of accessories all pcs are checked as per size spec based on the instruction
sheet which is given by the buyer side. If any measurement problem is noticed then we check the
original sample and inform the buyer same time.
In Side Inspection:
At this stage garment is checked from reverse side to ensure that there is no fabric defect, poor
stitching, and stains etc in the garment.
63. 63 | P a g e
Out Side Inspection:
At this stage garment is checked from outside to ensure that there is no color variation, weaving
defect, fabric defect, printing defect, holes, poor stitching, bad smell , dying defect and stains etc
in the garments.
Final Inspection:
Final Inspection stage is the most important part of inspection process, here garment is rechecked
to confirm that inspection is done properly without missing any checking step if any defect is
noticed we put it into rejection bin or send it for repay.
Hang Tag:
A tag attached to a garment or other piece of merchandise that includes information about the
manufacturer or designer, the fabric or material used, the model number, care instructions, and
sometimes the price.

Store & Inventory Control
72. 72 | P a g e
Inventory control
Inventory in a wider sense is define as any idle resource of an enterprise in order to
meet
expects of demand or distribution. It is commonly used to keep hold inventory of various
kind to act as a cushion between and demand.
Types of Inventory
Inventory are of the following 06 categories:
Ind
1. Production inventories:
Items which are used to process final product e.g. raw material and
other component.
2. In processes inventories:
Semi finish product at various sage of production.
3. Finished goods inventories:
Complete product ready for dispatch.
4. Maintenance repair and operation inventories:
Items those do not from a part of final product are used in production
process like spare parts.
5. Miscellaneous inventories:
Scrap, surplus and obsolete item which are not to be disposed off.
6. Fluctuation inventories:
These are maintain to safeguard fluctuation in customer demand for the
product or availability of material.
Objective/ Advantage of inventories control
Improvement of customer friction:
This is achieved through maintenance of better balance among the quantities of finished
item
on one hand and customer service to the other.
Reduction in manufacturing cost:
Manufacturing cost can be reduce by-
I. By better utilization of labor ,supervision and facilities by eliminate idle time due to
raw material shortage.
II. By making economical manufacturing runs in place of small lots. Constant
rescheduling and set up changes which are needed to component for unbalance
inventories.
III. By minimizing machine down time caused by unavailability of spare parts.
IV. By reducing purchase material cost by measuring requirement.
V. By keeping safe an impotent asset against theft, preventive waste ,insurable damage
or unauthorized use.
Improve the effectiveness of key personnel:
By taking care and minimize uncertainties like uncertainties in demand from customers
and
uncertainties in producing the material in time.
Symptoms of poor inventory management:
I. Periodic server back
II. Continuously growing inventory quantities while the order backlog remaining
73. 73 | P a g e
constant or increasing.
III. High rate of customer turn over and order cancellation.
IV. Uneven production with frequent layoffs and rehiring.
V. Frequent used for uneconomical production to meet sales requirement.
VI. Excessive machine down time because of material shortage.
VII. Periodic lack of adequate storage space.
Different inventory costs:
I. Cost of ordering
II. Inventory carrying costs
III. Costs of shortage.
Cost of ordering:
Cost of ordering is the amount of money expended in getting an item an inventory.
To evaluate this cost we have to identify the total annual cost associate with running
a
purchase department. If the total number order place during the year divides this cost ,
the cost per order, can be obtained.
So,
Cost per order=Total cost in running purchase/Total no. of order during the year.
The cost of placing order can estimate by considering various cost as below-
Salary and wages of personnel of purchase department
Telephone , postage power and stationary cost
Rent / depreciation of machines and equipment building.
Inventory carrying costs:
This cost is carried in maintaining the stories in a firm and can be broken down in to two
categories:
a. Cost of storage space –light , rent, maintenance
b. Cost of holding stock-pilferage, spoilage, deterioration, protection
c. Other cost:
Stacking , packing, issuing, recording, keeping etc.
Cost that depend on the value of inventory:
I. Cost of capital, interest ,lost
II. Cost of insurance
III. Cost of obsolescence
I. Internal: Overtime and special administrative effort
a. The second case is lost sale case.
In this case we loss customers good will and also profit.
Economic order quantity:
The size of an order that minimize the total inventory cost is known as Economic
order quantity.
Lead time:
In case of procuring materials some the length of time ,which is spent to get suppliers
and parts in store after they are ordered for is called lead time.
The delivery date of plant orders are calculated by considering this lead time with the
date of which they are required .Any change in this lead time will change release date
of plant orders and this change will cause the total reschedules

The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry occupies a unique position in the
Bangladesh economy. It is the largest exporting industry in Bangladesh, which
experienced phenomenal growth during the last 25 years. By taking advantage of an
insulated market under the provision of Multi Fiber Agreement (MFA) of GATT, it
attained a high profile in terms of foreign exchange earnings, exports, industrialization
and contribution to GDP within a short span of time. The industry plays a key role in
employment generation and in the provision of income to the poor. To remain
competitive in the post-MFA phase, Bangladesh needs to remove all the structural
impediments in the transportation facilities, telecommunication network, and power
supply, management of seaport, utility services and in the law and order situation. The
government and the RMG sector would have to jointly work together to maintain
competitiveness in the global RMG market. Given the remarkable entrepreneurial
initiatives and the dedication of its workforce, Bangladesh can look forward to advancing
its share of the global RMG market.
