CHAPTER-ONE
1. INTRODUCTION
By means of practical knowledge it is possible to apply the theoretical knowledge in the
practical field. For any technical education practical experience is almost equally important in
association with the theoretical knowledge.
The industrial attachment is the process which builds understanding skill and attitude of the
performer, which improves his/her knowledge in boosting productivity and services.
Academic education provides us vast theoretical knowledge as well as more practical
attachment, despite all these industrial attachment help us to be familiar with the technical
support of modern machinery, skill ness about various operation stages.
It also provides us sufficient practical knowledge about production management, Productivity
evaluation, work study, efficiency, industrial management, production planning & control,
production cost analysis, inventory management, purchasing, utility & maintenance of
machinery and their operation techniques etc. The above mentioned cannot be achieved
successfully by means of theoretical knowledge only. This is why it should be accomplished
with practical knowledge in which it is based on industrial attachment makes us reliable to be
accustomed with the industrial atmosphere& improve courage & inspiration to take self-
responsibility.

Today's garment merchandisers have to move with frequent changes in demand and the
developing technologies utilized in manufacturing and production. To find out customer
requirements, they regularly visit retail outlets, and come up with latest updates from frontline
staff. In order to keep an eye on developments in sourcing, site visits am made every week to
mainland factories to meet suppliers and study production. In garment merchandising, there is no
specific rule, so it's important to be able to think on one's feet.
Page 35 of 68
6.5 The main procedures of merchandisers are as followed:
Understanding sample order:
Merchandiser has to understand the buyer's requirements after receiving specification in the
sample order. In many cases, there are modifications pertaining to the specifications in the order
to dispatch on time and the right quality. He has to talk with the in-house veterans on the
execution problems of sample orders, as the right information is required in decision making.
Managing order route card and production timetable:
Merchandiser has to manage every single production schedule and order route card that helps to
follow-up the execution in the planned way. It is expected to be acknowledged of the various
descriptions like: design, no. of modules, no. of operators, how many processes, and date of
dispatch, quantity, output capacity, and deadlines in the schedules.The sub-ordinates are
normally assigned to follow-up with execution of the plan. Merchandiser plans the activities
depending on the essentials or non-essentials, and top priority am given to the most essential
tasks. This is customary that the essential activities am handled personally or with the support of
junior merchandisers/sub-ordinates.
In a "daily schedule", merchandiser has to carry-out and categorize which is the most significant
and urgent task. The activity that has to be focused with full attention to sweep-off non-essential
activities and have to be to be corrected by prioritizing to meet the deadlines.
Using route card to reschedule activities:
To get updated on the current status on the order, the route cards should be utilized. The latest
status can be fed into the computers. In case, the buyer ask for the goods prior to the deadline,
then merchandiser has to reorganize the schedules to accomplish tasks, output capacity, no. of
pieces to be produced daily, substitute arrangements, time availability, supply time, scheduling
Page 36 of 68
critical ratio, etc.
Submitting pre-production samples:
The pre-production samples should be provided on time to the concerned buyers. Quality of the
sample must be verified. If required, revised samples should be made available to the buyers.
Merchandiser should adjust to the required changes demanded by the buyer. The execution of
bulk orders should be made only after samples am approved by the buyer.In-process inspection
denote between any tasks in order-execution. In case of non-conformation, it is better to focus on
the concerns of quality. Merchandisers that work on complete orders have to check deviation to
the production teams so that any amendments can be done to avoid the non-conformities.
Solving shortage problem:
The merchandiser should know about the dearth of any commodity such as fabric, yarn, etc.
From the beginning actions should be taken immediately to arrange required materials, after
discovering the shortage. It is expected that the merchandisers should verify quality of the goods
prior to execution of the order. If the material is found unavailable, the superior should be
informed about the concern.
Communicating with associated people and buyer:
It is essential to communicate with the buyers regarding the order. It is expected to give some
time to the buyer to read the sent messages. Merchandiser should to go through the messages
received from the buyer and reply on time. In many cases, merchandisers have to provide order
status to the buyers. Also, merchandiser has to communicate with the people that am in-house,
venders, contractors and job-workers. Only through the right communication can one meet
deadline for the concerned orders.
Page 37 of 68
Concluder remark on merchandising:
Apart from the above mention procedures, merchandiser has to assign subordinates to help him
in the order execution, and direct the procedures. He has to revise his knowledge from time-to-
time to know current market trends. To record preferences for all the planned activities, use daily
or time log systems. The Merchandiser should find out exact reasons for time consumption. It is
necessary to keep record of time value and keeping it safe, as it is going to be shamed with
concerned parties/buyers. It is certain that merchandising jobs need huge time planning.
6.6 Chronological process of merchandising:
(A) Salesman Samples, Counter Samples, Approval Samples, Photo
Samples, Preproduction Samples, Production Samples, Shipping Samples.
(B) Swatch and Trims, Trim‟s related Affairs, Communication.
Sample: Reference garment corresponds to -
 The artwork (styling) done by designer and/ or developer

necessary to send to the buyer any part of the garments, such as sleeve, collar, neck etc and some
accessories.
Pre-production sample:
When material for bulk production arrived, factory makes a sample with the actual material and
sends to buyer.
Production sample:
It is a reference to the buyer that the bulk is being produced as per specification. Buyer wants to
be assured that correct material is sourced and line workmanship confirm to the quality.
Shipping sample:
A sample is kept from every Pre Shipping inspection to be referred, if required, after the order
has been delivered. Usually for any disputes (e.g. Claim) shipping sample is important.

CHAPTER-THIRTEEN
13. CONCLUSION
I have completed my industrial attachment successfully by the grace of Allah.
Industrial attachment sends us to the expected destiny of practical life. The completion of the two
months Industrial attachment at Ha-Meem Group, I have got the impression that factory is one of
the most modern export oriented apparel manufacturer in Bangladesh. Though it was established
in the early 90‟s, it has earned “very good reputations” for its best performance in the textile
mills.
During my training period, talking with the clients of this mill I knew that the mill is fulfilling
the country‟s best export oriented fabric due to its modern machinery & good management
system.
Mill is settled with utility to give all convenient supports to the productions. It had self-
maintained generator system to satisfy total power consumptions of the mill.
I are enough fortunate that I have got an opportunity of having a training in this mill. During the
training period I are received co-operation and association from the authority full & found all
man, machines & materials on appreciable working condition. All stuffs & officers Ire very
sincere & devoted their duties to achieve their goal.
There are some suggestions from me within my limited knowledge
Some Suggestions:
 To increase overall efficiency, more skilled labor should be used in a project.
Page 67 of 68
 The machine stoppage time should be analyzed and minimized.
 The maintenance should be carried out when the machine is out of
action (wherever possible) and routine maintenance should be carried
out regularly.
 There should be a yarn dyeing project.
 Sitting arrangement of production officers should be improved
 The knitting section should improve and modern machinery should add.

For any technical education practical experience is almost equally important in association with the theoretical knowledge.

Academic education provides us vast theoretical knowledge as well as more practical attachment, despite all these industrial attachment help us to be familiar with the technical support of modern machinery, skill ness about various operation stages. It also provides us sufficient practical knowledge about production management, Productivity evaluation, work study, efficiency, industrial management, production planning & control, production cost analysis, inventory management, purchasing, utility & maintenance of machinery and their operation techniques etc. The above mentioned cannot be achieved successfully by means of theoretical knowledge only. This is why it should be accomplished with practical knowledge in which it is based on industrial attachment makes us reliable to be accustomed with the industrial atmosphere& improve courage & inspiration to take self- responsibility.

If parts of garments are not cut to correct shape, then the garment which is made by these parts should not be correct in shape.
  • 28. Page 28 of 68 The accurate cutting of fabric depends on the sharpness of knife, stillness of operator & concentration of operator on his work. 4.7 Sewing: Joining together of components of a garments that all involves in sewing in one form or another. There are a large number of different categories of sewing machine. Every category of sewing machine produces a specific type of stitch formation depending on the number of needles, loppers & threads which combine to construct the stitch. 4.8 Quality check & finishing: In quality checking some factors are concerned. Measurements are checked, extra fabric & thread are checked. Fabric pieces, threads and dirt particles are removed from garments by cleaning gun which is made by thinner chemical. Thinner is sprayed on garments & give air jet flow which remove these materials. Print or embroidery, upper armhole shape are also checked. Then garments go to ironing & packing with necessary sticker like sewing ticket, barcode sticker etc.

Before issuing fabric to cutting, QA department cross check as per buyer fabric approval shade, G.S.M and other parameter of the buyer, every supervisor must check fabric before receiving and gives desired fabric dia. Then Fabric relaxes about 6-8 hours according to fabric composition. CAD section make marker as per given fabric roll measurement. On the table, marker length and width are checked by consumption supervisor. After lay, cuter man check the mini marker and lay marker like job, style, buyer and then start cutting. At the time of cutting cuter man must be careful when cutting critical shape, half fold, notch, apart and others issue & signature on docket. After cutting, the cut panels receive the total parts and supply to bundling where the supervisor must receive the signature on docket. Numbering man do the number and then bundle roll wise. But numbering man has to follow sticker color, white color do not use color sticker. QA department people check the cut panel. Rejection parts return to cutting for re – cuts. 5.2 Cutting machine specification: Auto Spreader: M/C No.: 01 Brand Name: Gerber Spreader Country: Germany Year of Manufacturing: 2006 Figure.5.2.1: Auto spreader machine

MERCHANDISING SECTION 6.1 Organogram of merchandising division: Merchandising manager Asst. merchandising manager Senior merchandiser Merchandiser Asst. merchandiser Trainee merchandiser 6.2 Introduction of merchandising: The “Merchandising” is known to the persons merchandising has been derived from the „merchandise”. Merchant means selling huge amounts of goods. The term “MERCHANDISING” may be defined as specifically for export purposes. Garments merchandising means buying raw materials & accessories, producing garments, maintaining required quality level and exporting the garments within scheduled time.
  • 34. Page 34 of 68 6.3 Need of merchandiser: The position "Merchandiser" is playing a vital role in the RMG sector today. Merchandiser is the person who handles around 75% of the cost related to the garment & the production cost is only be almost about 25% of the garment. There by the role of Merchandiser in the apparel sector plays the most responsible part mainly for the financial benefit of the Company. The Merchandiser's small mistake will affect 75% of income of the order which will leads to a big disaster. This has to be understood by the Merchandisers seriously. 6.4 Responsibility of merchandiser: Now days, major companies am adopting merchandising concepts, which comply with all procedures to execute and dispatch the shipment on time, considering quality, cost and time. Merchandisers am serious in the success of any garment retail business. They provide the right products at the right time, enabling a company to match with latest market trends and meet the market demand. In the merchandising concept, time management is a gig to manage one's time properly, so he can focus on value adding actions. Today's garment merchandisers have to move with frequent changes in demand and the developing technologies utilized in manufacturing and production. To find out customer requirements, they regularly visit retail outlets, and come up with latest updates from frontline staff. In order to keep an eye on developments in sourcing, site visits am made every week to mainland factories to meet suppliers and study production. In garment merchandising, there is no specific rule, so it's important to be able to think on one's feet.
  • 35. Page 35 of 68 6.5 The main procedures of merchandisers are as followed: Understanding sample order: Merchandiser has to understand the buyer's requirements after receiving specification in the sample order. In many cases, there are modifications pertaining to the specifications in the order to dispatch on time and the right quality. He has to talk with the in-house veterans on the execution problems of sample orders, as the right information is required in decision making. Managing order route card and production timetable: Merchandiser has to manage every single production schedule and order route card that helps to follow-up the execution in the planned way. It is expected to be acknowledged of the various descriptions like: design, no. of modules, no. of operators, how many processes, and date of dispatch, quantity, output capacity, and deadlines in the schedules.The sub-ordinates are normally assigned to follow-up with execution of the plan. Merchandiser plans the activities depending on the essentials or non-essentials, and top priority am given to the most essential tasks. This is customary that the essential activities am handled personally or with the support of junior merchandisers/sub-ordinates. In a "daily schedule", merchandiser has to carry-out and categorize which is the most significant and urgent task. The activity that has to be focused with full attention to sweep-off non-essential activities and have to be to be corrected by prioritizing to meet the deadlines. Using route card to reschedule activities: To get updated on the current status on the order, the route cards should be utilized. The latest status can be fed into the computers. In case, the buyer ask for the goods prior to the deadline, then merchandiser has to reorganize the schedules to accomplish tasks, output capacity, no. of pieces to be produced daily, substitute arrangements, time availability, supply time, scheduling
  • 36. Page 36 of 68 critical ratio, etc. Submitting pre-production samples: The pre-production samples should be provided on time to the concerned buyers. Quality of the sample must be verified. If required, revised samples should be made available to the buyers. Merchandiser should adjust to the required changes demanded by the buyer. The execution of bulk orders should be made only after samples am approved by the buyer.In-process inspection denote between any tasks in order-execution. In case of non-conformation, it is better to focus on the concerns of quality. Merchandisers that work on complete orders have to check deviation to the production teams so that any amendments can be done to avoid the non-conformities. Solving shortage problem: The merchandiser should know about the dearth of any commodity such as fabric, yarn, etc. From the beginning actions should be taken immediately to arrange required materials, after discovering the shortage. It is expected that the merchandisers should verify quality of the goods prior to execution of the order. If the material is found unavailable, the superior should be informed about the concern. Communicating with associated people and buyer: It is essential to communicate with the buyers regarding the order. It is expected to give some time to the buyer to read the sent messages. Merchandiser should to go through the messages received from the buyer and reply on time. In many cases, merchandisers have to provide order status to the buyers. Also, merchandiser has to communicate with the people that am in-house, venders, contractors and job-workers. Only through the right communication can one meet deadline for the concerned orders.
  • 37. Page 37 of 68 Concluder remark on merchandising: Apart from the above mention procedures, merchandiser has to assign subordinates to help him in the order execution, and direct the procedures. He has to revise his knowledge from time-to- time to know current market trends. To record preferences for all the planned activities, use daily or time log systems. The Merchandiser should find out exact reasons for time consumption. It is necessary to keep record of time value and keeping it safe, as it is going to be shamed with concerned parties/buyers. It is certain that merchandising jobs need huge time planning. 6.6 Chronological process of merchandising: (A) Salesman Samples, Counter Samples, Approval Samples, Photo Samples, Preproduction Samples, Production Samples, Shipping Samples. (B) Swatch and Trims, Trim‟s related Affairs, Communication. Sample: Reference garment corresponds to -  The artwork (styling) done by designer and/ or developer  Particular purchase order  Any revision to the style work  Confirm with any specific requirement etc.

Purpose: See the workmanship &test the factory skill Status: Nothing specific Material: Available Price: Not conformed Quantity: 1 (for customer) + 1 (for self-keeping)
  • 40. Page 40 of 68 Delivery: As per request Sales man sample: Sample is made when price is confirmed and orders am on speculation, usually in L size in all color combinations of expected order. Buyer arranges a meeting with its customer and records their response on order quantity per color, size etc. and finally place order to their vendor. Purpose: Sales Meeting by Retailers, Market Appraisal, Demand / Order forecast Status: Final stage of the order confirmation Material: Actual Price: Confirmed Quantity: There is minimum quantity per color combination Delivery: Very important to meet the delivery date. Photo sample: Samples are made with actual color and material to be worn by the models on the event of shooting for catalog. Approve sample: In any discrete period of time, whenever it required any revision in the sample, a new sample is made (sometimes mock-up is workable too) as per new specification. It is sent to buyer for his approval of the conformity that- the revision is done correctly.
  • 41. Page 41 of 68 Size set: In size set, consists of 1 piece from each size for each color combination. Mock up: Any part of the garment to make for particular purpose, not complete garment. Sometimes it is necessary to send to the buyer any part of the garments, such as sleeve, collar, neck etc and some accessories. Pre-production sample: When material for bulk production arrived, factory makes a sample with the actual material and sends to buyer. Production sample: It is a reference to the buyer that the bulk is being produced as per specification. Buyer wants to be assured that correct material is sourced and line workmanship confirm to the quality. Shipping sample: A sample is kept from every Pre Shipping inspection to be referred, if required, after the order has been delivered. Usually for any disputes (e.g. Claim) shipping sample is important.
  • 42. Page 42 of 68 6.8 Swatch: Swatch is a presentation of all the materials is (Fabric & Accessories) used for any specific style/order. Usually small piece of fabric and each piece of accessories am attached in board paper in a systematic manner. Swatch is very important for production line to make the correct construction of a garment and QC department ensures it. Concerned merchandiser should confirm/approve the swatch. 6.9 Trims: Trims cover all the items used in the garment except the basic fabric.
