seams.; It is not possible to knit in the round on a flatbed knitting machine. Flatbed knitting
machines cannot work purl stitches or garter stitch automatically. A flat bed knitting
machine comprising a flat elongate bed on which is retained a plurality of parallel, latchable,
needles equally spaced along the length of the bed and each movable relative to the bed in a
direction lengthwise of the needles and transverse of the bed length.

5.4 Dyeing section: Lab is considered to be the heart of dyeing section. Shade Matching and
recipe calculation for the bulk production are the primary task of dyeing lab. TEXEUROP(BD)
Ltd. has a well decorated dyeing lab.
The first step of shade matching is to find out the primary colors percentage to form the shade
given by the buyer. Data color is being used for this purpose. The second step is to prepare recipe
for lab dyeing and the final step is making necessary adjustments in recipe for bulk dyeing. In
dyeing floor, there are 9 sample machines to perform test dyeing.
There are 17 bulk dyeing machines for performing scouring Bleaching and dyeing. After
unloading from the bulk machine the fabric is being fed in the Squeezer to remove water. Then
the fabric is being fed in to the dryer. The GSM and Shrinkage are maintained by STENTER,
TUBE TEX, FABCON etc. BRUSHING, SUIDING machines are being used for special
finishing purposes like removing crease marks.

5.5 Sample section:
Sample is a product which represents a group of product or lot or a batch in order to assess their
quality, style or design or any other characteristic of the product. Based on the samples, the
buyer will give approval or comments for any alteration in design or style or quality. Samples
will reflect the quality and workmanship of the exporter or manufacturer.
Broadly garment samples are categorized as development samples and production samples.
Samples that is made in development stage are as following:
Proto sample
Fit sample
Photo shot sample
Size set sample
Pre-production sample
In production stage factory need to submit few more samples that includes:

5.7 Sampling Process Flow Chart:
48. Page | 48
1. Tech Pack Receiving: This is the first stage of the sampling processes. In this stage Tech
Pack or the Technical pack is received from the buyer, via merchandiser. Tech pack
contains all the specifications to produce a garment.
2. Pattern making: The second stage is pattern making. In Texeurop (Bd) Ltd. Pattern is
being made manually by pattern master often. Then the manually formed pattern is taken
into CAD section and Digitizer is being used to input the pattern in WINDA. Finally with
the help of plotter Patterns are being made by CAD section executives. This patterns
contains information about materials, tolerance etc.
Fig 17:Pattern Making
3. Sample Making: Sample making is the ultimate goal of this department. After making
the pattern, the sample is made by using the pattern set.
4. Size Setting: After making the sample, size is set according to the Tech Pack. If there is
any fault, the sample is redone.
5. Pre-Production (PP) Meeting: After the buyer has inspected the sample, preproduction
meeting is called. In this meeting buyer or his agent, merchandiser, sample manager, all
remain present. They decide on how to and when to start the production. If the decision
Okayed, the sample is ready to go for final production.
6. Grading of Sample: After finalizing the sample. Grading is done. There may be several
grades of a single design. The grading is done to separate the samples and patterns from
each others.
7. Marker: After grading the samples. The design is inputted into the marker software. This
software specifies how to set the pattern in the actual fabric. By using the marker
software efficiently, fabric can be saved. Texeurop (bd) ltd. uses winda for marker
making.
8. Cutting: After making the marker the pattern is delivered to the cutting unit and fabric is
cut for final production.
49. Page | 49
9. Print or embroidery (if required): If tech pack contains print or embroidery
instructions then those should be completed in the cutting fabrics according to the tech
pack.
10. Sewing: Sewing is another important section to approve the sample by the buyer in the
very shot. Here, garments are sewn according to measurement chart. It should be noted
that, during sewing extra care should be taken to make fault free sample garments.
11. Finishing: Ironing or pressing has done in the garments here according to the
measurement chart.
12. QC check: After completing all the above processes, quality controller inspects the sample
garments here by following the tech pack which is provided by the buyer.
13. Send to the buyer for approval: After checking the sample garments by the quality
controller (QC), garments sent to the buyer for approval. If it’s approved by the buyer
then garments merchandiser can start the next processes for the garments production

5.10 CAD Section: Computer aided design (CAD) has brought a revolution in textile industry.
The time consuming and cumbersome process of textile designing has been made easier by
CAD. Now thoughtful and innovative designs are available to the textile designers and textile
manufacturers at the click of a mouse. Though CAD is costly but the use of CAD is increasing
day by day in our country. Because markers made by CAD can be transferred via email which
saves both time and money. Besides Using CAD also help to minimize the waste of fabric by
increasing the marker efficiency.
Uses of CAD: In apparel industry CAD software is used for
Pattern making
Grading of pattern
Marker making
Digitizing manual patterns.
There are number of CAD software suppliers who have developed CAD systems. Gerber and
winda both are being used in Texeurop (bd) ltd

5.23 Line balancing:
Line balancing is the allocation of sewing machine according to style and design of garment. It
depends of that what type of garment we have to produce.
5.24 Steps in line balancing:
Now-a-days, Standard Minute Value (SMV) is used as a tool for the line balancing, production
control and the estimation of efficiency. In a similar way, the time taken to do a job for making
garments like shirt/trouser/blouse/dresses could depend upon a number of factors like :
The length of the shirt/trouser/blouse/dress;
The number of stitches per inch;
The presentation of item;
The pricing of garment.

6.1 Quality: In manufacturing, Quality is a measure of excellence or a state of being free from
defects, deficiencies and significant variations. According to ISO 9000 quality is “degree to
which a set of inherent characteristics fulfils requirement”.
6.2 Quality control: Quality is of prime importance in any aspect of business. Customers
demand and expect value for money. As producers of apparel there must be a constant endeavor
to produce work of good quality. Quality control is “The systems required for programming and
coordinating the efforts of the various groups in an organization to maintain the requisite
quality”.
In the garment industry quality control is practiced right from the initial stage of sourcing raw
materials to the stage of final finished garment. For textile and apparel industry product quality is
calculated in terms of quality and standard of fibers, yarns, fabric construction, color fastness,
surface designs and the final finished garment products. However quality expectations for export
are related to the type of customer segments and the retail outlets.
The motto of Texeurop (BD) LTD. is to manufacture quality apparels and so the executives of
quality control section make no compromise with quality
Fig 61: Quality Inspection
6.3 Total quality control: Total quality control means the application of management
principles to all areas of business from design to delivery instead of confining them only to production
activities
Objectives:
To maximize the production of goods within the specified tolerances correctly the first
time.
To achieve a satisfactory design of the fabric or garment in relation to the level of choice
in design, styles, colors, suitability of components and fitness of product for the market.
74. Page | 74
6.4 Quality assurance: quality assurance refers to the planned and systematic activities
implemented in quality system so that quality requirements for a product or service will be
fulfilled. It is the systematic measurement, comparison with the standard, monitoring f processes
and associated feedback loop that confers error prevention. This can be contrasted with the
quality control, which is focused on process output.
Quality assurance system consists of two types. They are:
Online quality assurance system
Off line quality assurance system
6.5 On Line Quality Control System: This type of quality control is carried out
without stopping the production process. During the running of production process a set up is
automatically performs and detects the fault and also takes corrective action. Online quality
control comprises with the raw material quality control and the process control.
Raw material control: Texeurop (Bd) Ltd always very concern about the quality of the product.
So, they knit grey fabric from the best quality yarn & utilizes technical evaluation in every stage
of the production, as we know the quality product depends on the raw material quality.
Process control: The method chosen for process must be provided with the necessary accurate
parameters. Here the specific gravity, water level, residual hydrogen per oxide etc. at each stage
is checked. In every stage Ph should be maintained sincerely.
6.6 Off line quality assurance system: This type of system consists of quality measuring
system when the production process completed. All off line tests for finished fabrics (dyeing and
finishing section) can be grouped as follows:
Physical
Chemical
Physical tests: Following physical tests are carried out in offline quality assurance system.
Thread per inch
Fabric weight
Width test
Tensile strength
Tear strength
Seam slippage
Abrasion resistance
Pilling resistance
Thermal stability
Crease resistance
Stretch ability & growth recovery
Smoothness appearance
75. Page | 75
Chemical tests: Following chemical tests are carried out in offline quality assurance system.
Fastness to washing
Fastness to light
Fastness to heat
Fastness to actual laundering
Fastness to sea water
Fastness to chlorinated water
Fastness to water spotting
Fastness to perspiration
6.7 Equipment’s used for test: various types of machineries and equipment are used during
testing. Following equipment’s are the main instruments for testing.
Spectrophotometer with software (data color)
Martindale abrasion tester
Light box
Sample dyeing machine
Iron
Electric balance
Crock meter
Data color
6.8 AQL (Acceptable Quality Level): A certain proportion of defective will always occur in
any manufacturing process. If the percentage does not exceed a certain limit, it will be
economical to allow the defective to go through instead of screening the entire lot. This limit is
called the “Acceptable Quality Level” (AQL). Normally for Garment industry, the AQL levels of
2.5, 4.0 and 6.5 are followed.
6.9 Quality inspection and control in RMG industry: The various Garments manufacturing

6.10 Quality Control of Sewing Thread: A slender, strong strand or cord, especially one
designed for sewing or other needlework. Most threads are made by plying and twisting yarns. A
wide variety of thread types are in use today, e.g., spun cotton and spun polyester, core-spun
cotton with a polyester filament core, polyester or nylon filaments (often bonded), and mono
filament threads.
Following Features of Sewing Thread are considered:
Thread Construction/Ticket number
Thread count
Thread Ply
Number of twist
Thread balance
Thread Tenacity
Thread Elongation
Sew ability
Imperfection
Thread color
Package Density
Winding
Yardage
6.11 Quality Control in Zipper: A zipper, zip, or zip fastener, is a commonly used device for
temporarily joining two edges of fabric. It is used in clothing (e.g., jackets and jeans), luggage
and other bags, sporting goods, camping gear (e.g. tents and sleeping bags), and other items.
Following Factors are being considered in Zipper:
Proper dimension of zipper
The top and bottom end should correctly have sewn
The tape and color of zipper should be uniform
Slider has to be locked properly
The slider should move properly
6.12 Fabric inspection method: 4 Point System is being used in TEXEUROP (BD) LTD. for
fabric inspection. Within this system, fabric rolls are graded for defects. Each defect receives a
certain number of points, and after inspection, of course you hope for the lowest number of
points possible.
79. Page | 79
Table 17 : The point system is as follows:
Size of Defects Penalty Points
Length of Defects in Fabric (either length or width)
Defects up to 3 inches 1
Defects > 3 inches <6 inches 2
Defects > 6 inches <9 inches 3
Defects > 9 4
Holes and opening (Largest Dimension)
1 Inch or less 2
Over 1 Inch 4
6.13 Calculation of total points per yards
In 4-point system fabric quality is evaluated by unit points/100 sq. yards.
Points / 100 sq. yd. = (Total points in roll * 36 * 100)/ (Fabric length in yards * Fabric width in
inches).
Normally fabric roll containing 40 points per 100 square yards are acceptable.
80. Page | 80
6.14 Textile Care Symbols:
6.15 Remarks: No wearers will buy a garment with poor quality and visible defects. So buyers
and retailer knowingly do not purchase a product that does not meet the quality requirement.
That is why maintaining quality is very important for any garments manufacturing industry.

7.2 Finished goods inventory: Texeurop (Bd) Ltd has one finished goods inventory for
storing cartoons. Texeurop (Bd) Ltd also has a inventory for spare parts which contains gear,
spark plug, lubricating oil etc. required for maintenance operation.
7.3 Types of Inventory Control Systems:
There are two main types of inventory control systems that we could consider using. The main
difference between the two is how often inventory data is updated.
Perpetual inventory system: In this system inventory data is entered continuously. Once an
order is placed or received the data is updated right away. Compared top periodic inventory
system, a perpetual inventory system is superior because it allows real-time tracking of sales in
addition to monitoring individual inventory levels for each item. However, the calculated
inventory levels obtained from a perpetual inventory system may steadily deviate from the actual
inventory levels due to theft or unrecorded transactions. It is therefore vital to periodically
compare the physical inventories to the actual on-hand quantities and adjust accordingly.
83. Page | 83
Periodic Inventory System: In this system, inventory data is not kept consistently up to the
date. Instead, inventory information is update after a particular interval of time. This method is
not as efficient as the perpetual system. It is perpetual inventory system which is being used in
Texeurop (Bd) ltd.
7. 4 Remarks:
Texeurop (BD) Ltd. has individual stores for raw materials, finished goods and spare parts. The
store of dyestuff and chemicals are not so clean. There is not enough space to store the finished
goods. It requires increasing the store.

8.1Generator:
A generator is a machine that converts one form of energy into another, especially mechanical
energy into electrical energy, as a dynamo. An industrial generator normally uses diesel or gas as
its fuel. In Texeurop (Bd) ltd. there are two gas generators and a diesel generator. The capacity of
each gas generator is 1030kw and the capacity of diesel generator is 500kw. The brand name of
the gas generator is Caterpillar.
Fig 63: Generator
The maintenance of the gas generator is performed in every 1000hrs. It is essential to change the
spark plug in each 1000hrs.Each gas generator has 16 cylinders. Air cylinders suck air to
perform the ignition along with gas. The price of gas generator of 1030kw is around $375,000.
8.2 Boiler:
Boiler is a closed vessel or arrangement of vessels and tubes, together with a furnace or other
heat source, in which steam is generated from water. There are two types of boiler water tube
boiler and fire tube boiler. In Texeurop (Bd) ltd. there is a fire tube boiler. It is 12tons boiler and
the capacity of the boiler is 7200kg per hour. Steam pressure is around 10bar. The boiler also has

Fig 64: Boiler
8.3 Air compressor and Compressed Air Dryer:
An air compressor is a device that converts power (using an electric motor, diesel or gasoline
engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in pressurized air (i.e. compressed air). By one of
several methods, an air compressor forces more and more air into a storage tank, increasing the
pressure. In Texeurop (Bd) ltd there are two Air Compressors. A compressed air dryer is used
for removing water vapor from compressed air. In Texeurop (Bd) ltd there is one compressed
air dryer.

12.11 Conclusion:
Now a day’s Textile field becomes very competitive and the buyers want 100% quality product.
For this reason it is very important to know about the latest technologies in textile sector. To
produce a quality product, as a textile engineer we must have a vast knowledge about the
production parameters and how to produce a high quality product.
We have completed our industrial attachment successfully by the grace of almighty Allah.
Industrial attachment sends us to the expected destiny of practical life. The completion of the
four weeks Industrial attachment at Texeurop (BD) Ltd. we have got the impression that factory
is one of the most modern export oriented knit composite complex in Bangladesh. Though it was
established only a few years ago, it has earned “very good reputations” for its best performance
over many other export oriented textile mills. During our training period, talking with the clients
of this factory we knew that the mill is fulfilling the country’s best export oriented white finished
fabric as well as very good colored fabric due to its modern machinery & good management
system. Factory 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.
During the training period we are received co-operation and association from the authority full &
found all man, machines & materials on appreciable working condition. All stuffs & officers
were very sincere & devoted their duties to achieve their goal.
We tried our best to collect all necessary information but it is true that within this short period it
is quite impossible to achieve 100% success but as a whole this industrial training was a
satisfactory one and once again wed would like to thank the authority of Texeurop (BD) Ltd. as
well as our honorable teachers far their altruistic help and advice. We are fortunate enough that
we have got an opportunity to have training in this mill. During the training period we have
received enough co-operation and association from the authority and found all personnel. All
stuffs and officers were very sincere and devoted their duties to achieve their goal.
