This research project studied T-shirt manufacturing export units in the Tiruppur cluster of India. The study observed current operating procedures and aimed to design a standard operating procedure to improve efficiency. Data was collected through site visits, interviews and photos/videos. Analysis found most units operated below average capacity and had high rework rates. Based on the analysis, a new SOP was proposed to help units standardize processes and reduce waste. Key recommendations included reducing unnecessary material movement between processes and using common cutting panels to minimize fabric waste from large prints/embroidery.

Maintenance Strategy and Activites of Textile Industry (Spinning Mill)Danial Sohail
In a spinning mill, the performance of the plant depends on the reliability, availability and maintainability of the plant, all of which are of primary importance for ensuring an excellent and affordable product. The concept of maintenance has changed substantially over the years; its main function now is to prevent mechanical and quality breakdowns. Quality breakdown does not mean that the quality of whole lot is low; but it means the lot is rejected due to poor quality of yarn on few bobbins or cones. Therefore to maintain excellent quality, plant engineers are capable of judging spindle to spindle variations in ring frames, speed frames and winding, and machine to machine variations in preparatory.

Quality costing and reporting of garments and textile industry of BangladeshTAREK MAHMUD
Quality costing is an important measurement tool for assessing the quality of product and service. Quality costing help to detect prevention, appraisal and internal & external failure cost of the product and service.
The company under study specializes in producing garment products. The production process of the company has so much waste, a long production time, a high cycle time, and a high defect rate, leading to low productivity, low quality, and late deliveries, affecting the competitive edge of the company. In this article we have discussed how Six Sigma can be applied to improve the company production process to reduce waste, the process production lead time, the cycle time, and the process defect rate and then to improve productivity and quality and finally increase the on-time delivery rate and the competitive edge of the company. The research methodology is based on Lean Six Sigma theory, with the platform of DMAIC procedure, including five steps: define, measure, analyze, improve, and control. The tools used in the steps of DMAIC procedure include cause and effect diagram, Pareto diagram, value stream management, work design, SMED, line balancing, Kanban systems, FIFO, autonomous maintenance, visual management, design of experiments, and control charts. After applying Lean Six Sigma tools, the company has reduced the production lead time by 89.21% from 279 to 30.1 min, reduced the production cycle time by 36% from 25 to 16 s, reduced the process defect rate by 37.45% from 14.9 to 9.32%, and then improved the on-time delivery rate.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Procedures
Based on the data analysis and conclusion out of the 10 units,
Warsaw International scored 1st.
By observing and studying the SOP of all 10 units and by
reviewing international standards & other countries like
Bangladesh SOP, a new SOP was made for all the ExportsT-shirts
manufacturing unit inTirupur.
Proposed SOP for Merchandising, Product Development, CAD,
Warehouse, Cutting, Sewing,OB and Finishing..
Keeping the proposed SOP as base any exports t-shirt
manufacturing units can use it according to their requirements.
28. Need ofSOP
Currently there is NO written SOP followed by any of theTirupur
exports t-shirt manufacturing units.
As per observations many exports t-shirt manufacturing units miss
out few Standard Process.
Many growing or upcoming exports t-shirt manufacturing units
struggle or have a greater learning curve without knowing the
Standard Operating Procedures.
Effective use of this SOP exports t-shirt manufacturing units in
Tirupur will excel in its productivity.

control of processes and products
To ensure that processes continue and are completed on a prescribed
schedule
To ensure that no failures occur in manufacturing and related processes that
would harm employees or anyone in the surrounding community
To ensure that approved procedures are followed in compliance with
company and government regulations
To serve as a training document for teaching users about a process
To serve as an historical record of the how, why and when of steps in a process
for use when modifications are made to that process and when a SOP must be
revised
To serve as an explanation of steps in a process that can be reviewed in
incident investigations that seek to improve practices and operating.
30. FINDINGS &
SUGGESTIONS

For the problem like repeated inward and outward which leads to
delay, we can send the material after that process from that place
to next process place without checking in the unit again and again.
Example- yarn is to be purchased from the “AAA SPINNING UNIT”
instead of it reaching to “KANDHAN KNITSS” and then to the
“BBB KNITTING UNIT” it can directly reach the “BBB KNITTING
UNIT”. For the checking the quantity and quality purpose an
assigned employee from the unit can be sent to follow up.
31. FINDINGS &
SUGGESTIONS

FINDINGS
Fabric after the processes are laid and cut in the length as
mentioned in the marker plan.
The cut bits are again sent to washing as the winch capacity will be
less for the fabric in roll.
Required lay length is measured using tape or scale and marked on
the table.
SUGGESTIONS
Measurements can be marked on the sides of the table and can
have a table clip which should be placed exactly at the
measurement to indicate the measurement on the surface of the
table.
33. FINDINGS &
SUGGESTIONS

Observations-
Fabric after bit washing comes back to the cutting table and the
marker is marked manually on the fabric as per the marker plan.
Sectioned and cut hold able amount of fabric roughly with straight
knife and sent for band knife cutting for exact shape cutting.
When it comes to bigger size chest prints or embroidery 4 piece
marker is cut of same size rectangular bit and send for printing and
embroidery.
When the style has embroidery or print, fabric is cut and send for
the print or embroidery which takes up to 10 days even.
Bigger size chest prints or embroidery 4 piece marker is cut of
same size rectangular bit and send for printing and embroidery.
This leads to high fabric wastage.
