1.0 Project Title: Comprehensive Production & Export Process of Young one Hi-Tech Sportswear Industr y Limited. 1.

1 Origin of the Report: I had been placed to Youngone Hi-Tech Sportswear Ind. Ltd for internship progra m and got the opportunity to see the overall aspect of the organization during t he internship program. My supervisor was Mr.Reza, Deputy Manager of Sales-2. Youngone Hi-Tech Sportswear Ind. Ltd is globally well known garments manufacturi ng company for its high quality production and for its commitment to its buyer. At the beginning of the internship program Mr. Sabyasachi Chowdhury, Executive D irector of YHT gave me the opportunity to work in the sales department and prepa re a report on Comprehensive production & export process of Young one Hi-Tech Spo rtswear Ind. Ltd. This report has been prepared at the end of the internship peri od. 1.2 Statement of the Problem in regarding to the Topic: The topic is: Comprehensive production & export process. 1.3 Purpose and Utility of the Study: In order to stimulate rapid economic growth of the country, particularly through industrialization, the government has adopted an open door policy to attract fo reign investment to Bangladesh. There are options to establish public/ private L td. companies or sole proprietorship/ partnership concerns. Bangladesh offers a substantial work force reserve - skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled. Getting the above facilities a number of ready made garments factories with fore ign finance have established. The readymade garments industry of Bangladesh has become the major foreign exchange earning sector, exporting apparel of all sorts to USA, Europe and other developed countries. The readymade Garment (RMG) indus try of Bangladesh tells an impressive story about the leadership of private ente rprises in the successful conversion of the country to a major Export oriented e conomy. The country registered its first apparel export in 1978, but the progres s since early 1980s has been simply phenomenal and earning the country's lions s hare of foreign exchange. The role of the RMG sector in our national economy can hardly be over emphasized . There has been a steady development in the field of our RMG export during at lea st a decade and a half. In conclusion, I may safely say that the tremendous success of readymade garment exports from Bangladesh over the last two decades has surpassed the most optimi stic expectations. Today the apparel export sector is a multi-billion-dollar ma nufacturing and export industry in the country. The overall impact of the readym ade garment exports is certainly one of the most significant social and economic developments in contemporary Bangladesh. During my MBA program, I was awarded about the above information and I became in terested about garments industry. After completing my MBA final theoretical cour ses, internship period arrived and on the spot I took the decision to complete m y internship in a garments factory to meet my thrust and to get practical knowle dge about the garments section.

1.4 Objective: The objectives of this report are as follows, 1. Asses the sales process of Young one Hi-Tech (YHT). 2. Asses the manufacturing process of YHT.

These are vital input for designing marketing packag e. For interested product categories, areas are product, price, place and promot ion. A. Product The report findings will answer many questions that are curtailed for the product management. The information coverage areas are, Market size. Market position Product line. B. Price Pricing policy is maintained by Korea. So, it is not pos sible to inform about price garment price. C. Place Information coverage that relates to the distribution ar ea of the market is: Distribution channel of Young one Hi-Tech Sportswear Ind Ltd. Distribution channel of Young one Hi-Tech Sportswear Ind Ltd. D. Promotion - Following are some findings areas that have linkage wit h the promotion of the product and company: Incentive practice of different categories of products in the market. Buyer promotion activities prevailing in the market. Methodology Methodology is the process of purpose of collecting data and information which a re required which are connecting with findings tools for best possible solution of problems. 2.0 Research Design: For formidable problem that follows the task of dividing the research problem is the preparation of the design of the research project, popularly known as the re search design. I have formulated a plan for collecting information essential to the study and c onduct exploratory research. At first I have determined about required data and set the place, organization and person from where I will collect data and method of data collection. YHT provided authorization letter for collecting informatio n from different department. I have tried to my best to design research so I cou ld collect most accurate data. 2.1 Data Collection Method: I have collected both primary and secondary data. Primary Data: Data collected for a specific purpose. The normal procedure is interviewing some people individually to get a sense of how people feel and think about the topic question. Reason For Collecting Primary Data: i. The existing information is not enough

ii. To bring the new ideas about the topic. iii. To bring out information from the employees that would not be obtai n from secondary data. Method Of Collecting Primary Data: a. Using questionnaire method for department in charge. b. Personal interview c. Inspected and visited to the production floor Secondary Data: Data gathered for specific purpose and already exist somewhat. Reason For Collecting Secondary Data: i. Data of this category are less subject to the biases. ii. More quickly available. iii. Economic. Method Of Collecting Secondary Data: a. Analysis office files and records b. Search Newspapers, Magazines, and catalogue. c. Analysis of annual report. 2.2 Research Instruments: There are two main research instruments in collecting the primary data. 1. Questionnaire 2. Observation. For the research purpose I have used two main research instruments in collecting data. i) Questionnaire Method: Questionnaire consists of a set of questions presented to respondents for their answer. Before using questionnaire I have carefully tasted and develop its. For the quest ionnaire I have used Structure none disguised, Structure disguised questions. I have also used both close ended and open ended questions. Close ended question pre specify all the possible answers. These questio ns provide answers that are easy to interpret and tabulate. Open ended questions allow respondents to answer their own words.

The Reason Of Choosing Questionnaire Method: a) Versatility: The greatest reason of choosing questionnaire method is its vers atility. All most every problem of research can be approached from the questions stand point, because problems involve people. Therefore ideas relative to the p roblem and its solution can be obtain by asking these people about the problem. Many problems can be studies on by questioning. b) Speed and cost: Questioning is easily fast and cheap. Because I can have more control over the data gathering activities. As a result less time is typically wasted in a questionnaire study. ii) Observation Method: Observation method is the second method that I had chosen for collecting data. I t is the process of recognizing and noting people objects and occurrences rather than asking for information. The Reason Of Choosing Observation Method:

a) The biasing effect of interviewers of either phrasing of questions is either eliminated or reduced. b) Data collecting by observation are more object and generally more accurate. 2.3 Sampling Plan: Because of time and manpower constraint, it was not possible to interview a memb er of populations. So some they were taken as a sample and interviewed for this study. The sample was taken from total population of YHT Sample Unit: The people who are the sampling unit of the study. There are more than 5000 of p opulation in YHT, This sample unit consists 0f the general employee. 2.4 Sampling size: In this study I have taken interview department in charge.

2.5 Limitation: I have been facing some limitation when I have collected data for the purpose of research. These limitations are giving below, i. Time: Three months time is such a short time to diagnosis any study. ii. Communication: Different departments are at different places and that is one one of the problems for data collection. iii. Lack of interest: At the time of data collection it has been observed that some department in charge did not pay attention in answer of the questi onnaire. iv. Lack of paper document: Many departments have no written document about thei r work procedure. As a result it was not possible for me to get the actual infor mation about the department. Instead of all above limitations I tried my best to collect the actual fact for the purpose of study. PROFILE OF THE ORGANIZATIOPN 1.0 Nature of the Business: Youngone Hi-Tech Sportswear Ind.

What is Sample? Sample is a specimen or we can say a part which shows what the whole is look lik e. In apparel industry sample is the physical form of the buyers style. You may ask what is style? A style is a quality or mode of design and decoration frequently associated with architectural and decorative forms. How to Develop the Sample Developer will get the style details from the buyer and buyer wants to see his s tyle in physical from because he gets the style in a sketch from designers, he w ants to see whether developers factory is capable to make the sample or not. Firs t Developer has to show the sample to buyer that Developers factory is capable to make the sample or his style perfectly and then he will give the bulk order. Be fore getting the bulk order developer has to go some steps. That step is the sam ple development stage, which is very important stage. As a merchandiser you are the key person to go through this step. Because developer is the Ambassador of h is company or factory. Developer will represent his company profile to the buyer . Buyer will talk with developer and developer has to attend the meeting with bu yer and he will communicate with the buyers. I like to say that sample development period is the order-getting period. After negotiation with buyer Developer get an order of one style from buyer. Where he mention all the details of his style such as sketch, specification sheet, bill o f materials (BOM), style details, stitch details, Graphic details etc. All those information is given on his style, which is known as worksheet, or tec hnical sheet or kit.

In Detail Real Work Flow i. Receive initial work or technical sheet: After having the work or technical sheet from the buyer through hand mail or e-m ail developer has to read it carefully to check if there is something wrong or s omething missing on the worksheet. To find the problem of anything on the buyers style, developer has to know all the details about garment making process. If dv eloper knows everything then he will find the discrepancy on the worksheet. And he can communicate with buyer regarding the discrepancy. He will appreciate Deve lopers carefulness and constructive suggestion to improve his merchandize.

ii. Arrange Respective Pattern Development: In the meantime developer has to distribute it to the pattern section to make th e pattern and sample section for the sample. As a developer a developer doesnt need to do the pattern (pattern master will do that) but if he know how to make the pattern it will be helpful for him and can help his pattern master and which is also helpful to attend the meeting with th e buyer.

Pattern: Pattern is a forma. It aims to interpret the design and represent the c omponents parts of the garments. It is basically the combination of different pa rts. Pattern is as same as every part of a garment made by hard flatted board paper. Separate pattern is made for every part of a garment. These patterns are used to draw every part of a garment on marker paper before cutting the cloth. If linin g or interlining is used for garment then different pattern is made for the lini ng or interlining. Skill ness, technical knowledge, design analysing ability and knowledge on garme nt technology are require to made a pattern. Pattern used in garment industry is made mainly by two steps. 1. Block Pattern and 2. Garment Pattern. 1. Block Pattern: Block pattern is also known as basic block. Block pattern is that pattern which is made according to standard and ideal vital statistics of body of a man or wom an without any specific design or style. On the basis of average measurement of man and woman basic block pattern is made. Block pattern is also made for childr en. Process of creating Block Pattern: Pattern of different part of a garment specially body and sleeve are created thr ough technical drawing. At YHT this type of pattern is created with the help of computer. Due to create basic pattern through computer, a special computer progr am is used by the Pattern Section. According to the method data from the work sh eet or technical sheet about the measurement of a garment are input into the com puter program. Computer program according to the data build a form of pattern. T his preparing method of pattern is called Flat Method.

2. Garment Pattern (working pattern): Garment pattern is made on the basis of block pattern or basic block pattern. Sk etch of a block pattern is copied on a board paper keeping the block pattern on it. Sewing allowance, trimming allowance, centre front line, centre back line, b utton hole, button attaching position, dart, pleat and specific style for specif ic part etc are added with the sketch on the paper board. U or V shaped notchs ar e made to each pattern to attach with one another. Separate notch is created for separate and individual pattern. Separate pattern is made for each part of a ga rment individually. On each pattern arrow simple is existed to indicate the grai n line. After drawing the pattern the garment pattern or working pattern is cut off from the board paper. Size and name of the part must be mention on each patt ern. At the pattern making and sampling period pattern maker and sample maker will fi nd some problem and difficulties to make the style as per buyers instruction. Dev eloper has to take down all the information and inform to buyer for further corr ection.

To make a garment how much fabric and accessorises are needed is called garment consumption. To determine the cost for making the sample garment, at first it is necessary to determine the fabric consumption as per unit garment. It is not po ssible to determine how much fabric will be consumed for a garment before mini m arker planning. After marker planning it is possible to determine the per unit f abric consumption for a specific garment. At CAD department, there is a program into their computer memory which automatic ally determine the per unit garments fabric consumption by using some data which input by the operator and the operator gets the information from the work or tec hnical sheet. After inserting the data into the computer program, the program au tomatically give a sketch of the garment and it also represents the measurement of the specific garment.

Picture 2: Mini Marker

Though it is possible to determine the per unit fabric consumption for a garment by measuring ready made sample garment. but we need to keep in mind that the pe r unit fabric consumption which is determine by measuring a sample garment is to tally an assumption. We do it for initial consumption report only buyer when sen d a ready made garment as a sample. But real consumption status is determined at the period of sales man sample making by making mini marker in CAD department..

Determination of fabric consumption of a Jacket on the basis of sample. To find out the fabric consumption of a ready made sample jacket, we need to div ide the jacket into two parts. They are two types: 1. Body 2. Sleeve

Suppose, The fabric consumption for the body part of the jacket is X The fabric consumption for the body of the jacket is Y The total fabric consumption of the jacket is Z

The height of the jacket is A The width of the jacket at the chest is B The width of the arm hole of jacket is C The height of the sleeve of jacket is D So, X = (A+7.5) x (B+7.5) x 2 sq cm. Y = (C+5) x (D+5) x 4 sq cm. Iv. To quote price to buyer considering the below determinants, i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. Updated price list of materials. Quota charges. Labour charges. Bank charges and interest. Documentation charges C&F charges and fright. Commission.

v. Sampling: Once the patterns have been finished then the sample will be making. Sample development period for a particular style is 7-10 days. Within these days developer has to make it and send it to buyer. How to make the Sample Developer has to make the sample as per buyers instruction, which gave on his wor k sheet. Developer can make the sample by using substitute materials is actual materials and fabric is not available. Buyer will tell Developer if he needs the sample wi th actual materials or not. If buyers want the sample with actual fabric than it will take time. So Developer has to inform him if he didnt find the actual mater ials and he should want time from buyer. If buyer wants the sample with substitute materials then try to use similar one with work sheet. This is helpful for buyer as well as factory also.

Kinds of Sample Buyer requires different kinds of sample. We categories the kind as per differen t buyers requirement: 1st Proto Sample 2nd Proto Sample 3rd Proto Sample Pre Line Sample Salesman sample Size Set Sample Pre Production Sample Production Sample Wash Test Sample (Non Wash Gmt) Shipment Sample Out of all those sample there is two more sample known as

Photo shoot sample & Mock up sample.

Explanation of the Sample 1st PROTO: The 1st proto sample is made with substitute fabric and trims. Only the size sam ple is made & quantity is 4/5 pcs (it depends on buyer). The size is basic size. After finished the sample 2/3 pcs sample will be send to buyer for buyers comment s. 2nd PROTO: 2ND proto sample is made on the basis of 1st proto comments. Same procedure is m aintained on 2nd proto but you have to rectify buyers comments, which he gave on 1st proto. 3rd PROTO: 3rd proto sample you dont need to make if 2nd proto sample is approved. If buyer didnt approve 2nd proto then you have to make it. Sample making procedure is same as 2nd proto if buyer didnt demand anything.

Pre Line Sample: Pre line sample is made with actual fabric & trims. Size is basic & quantity is 5 or 6 pcs (it depends on buyer) and send to the buyer. Pre line is used for fas hion show. Salesman Sample: On the sample procedure salesman sample is very important for buyer & order reci pients. Because buyer collect the order from their customer & order to factory. Buyers salesmen show the sample & collect the order from customer. Or buyer parti cipates trade fair to collect the order. Size Set Sample: Sample made from all sizes of the measurement sheet is called size set sample. F rom 1st proto to salesman developers made only basic size but on size set sample all sizes are made (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL etc) depends on how many size is there on specification sheet. Size set sample can be with substitute fabric or actual fabric. Measurement is main factor in size set sample. Pre Production Sample: Once the size set sample has been approved another sample is make with actual fa bric and trims is known as pre production sample.

Shipment Sample: A finished garment is picked from the bulk production and sent to buyer to show the quantity of the shipment product. Photo Shoot Sample: Buyer wants this sample for photo session. Which one will be used on the Catalo gue, Fashion magazine. That sample is made with actual fabric and trims. Size is the basic size. Buyer may want another size. Mock Up Sample: Mock up sample means mock of any parts of a style. If any parts of a style is di fficult to sew or making than factory can suggest another construction and send to buyer which is called mock up sample. In that case developer doesnt need to ma ke the full garments just make the difficult part in his I mean easy way. Which may buyer approve or he may change his style in another way. Mock up sample is m ade in sampling period. You have to approve it before bulk production. If develo per wants to change anything at the time of bulk production than buyer may not a gree. When a sample is made YHT always send it to buyer for his approval. After buyers approval YHT wait for the main/bulk order, for whos the sample has made Production Stage: Bulk production means the production where product quantity is very high and the style, size, color way are fixed by the buyer and the manufacturing material is non negotiable. Bulk production starts and completed through some steps. 1. Receive Main Purchase Order: The initial activity of bulk production starts when sales department receive the main order sheet or P.O sheet. The main order sheet contains product style, six e and according to the size color and quantity. 2. Determinants of Quota Availability: Getting the main order, sales department firstly determine the available quota f or the respective product which is given by the buyers country. 3. Preparing Production Plan: After determining the quota availability sales department now engages the produc tion control department to prepare two type of plan. 1. Material shipment plan 2. Production plan a. Material shipment Plan Plan for material receiving source, time, quantity etc. b. Production Plan: Plan for production space, production line, production duration. 4. Checking the Left Over Materials: After each bulk production, usually some production material become left. It is duty to recheck that how much material is left according to the respective buyer at the last production and how much of that can be reused for the current produ

ction. MCD usually keeps material list. Sales department collect the information from the MCD department for reuse of raw material for the current production.

5. Preparation of Bill Of Materials: After checking the left over material sales department prepare material list. It contains material quantity, material quality for the respective buyers style. Th en sales department send it to YO and MCD. 6. Requisition for Material: MCD receives Order status as per buyer wise and material sheet as per order stat us from YO. After getting the order status and material sheet, purchased order i s placed to supplier to supply required fabric and materials for bulk production by YO or YHT sales department. By the meantime production control department su ggests sales, import and material control department to fix nearest time to rece ive material from the supplier to accomplish the production in due time which is given by the buyer. Usually materials are supplied from YO, sister concern or p urchased from lccal market. 7. Continuous Checking Of Materials for Starting Production: MCD receives details material packing list from YO or YHT sales. At first stage of receive goods a initial checking procedure is maintained by MCD and QA to ins pect the quality and quantity as per the material list. All materials make inventory as per declaration invoice. After inventory if ther e shortage any materials as pre invoice than MCD send report to related person. MCD arranged quality check for materials. If inequality problems per buyer requi rement then MCD send report to YO or related department. 8. Pre Production Sample with Actual Materials in Line: MCD issues materials as per production plan requgetions sheets. 2.0 Production Line: Youngone Hi-Tech has six production floors with 106 production lines & 30 sectio ns. Besides these there is one production line that is used for only sample deve lopment. The supporting departments of the production are: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1. Pattern section Computer Aided Design (CAD) Embroidery & printing Down section Quality Assurance Inspection

2.1 The layout of the production is: Pattern CAD ng Testing & inspection pment Cutting Packaging Embroidery/printing Pre-shipment Inspection Sewi Shi

2.2 Production flow and process: Basic physical production starts at the production floor of factory building. 1. Floor P.M collect all sorts of production related information from the relat ive department such as sales department. 2. On the basis of these information sub-store and cutting section of respectiv e floor starts collecting fabric and materials under direct supervision of PM.

3. Meanwhile PM arranges a pre-production meeting. Sales , QA, Pattern, Maintena nce, Production (APM), Floor Chief usually attend that meeting. Sales department provides all the documents and information, QRS, Swatch Card, to all in that me eting of the regarding style. After the meeting the first step of production, it means Cutting starts. 3.0 Cutting: To cut fabric by the cutting section, at first they need to lay the fabric. Fabr ic spreading is the first step of cutting. So, we need to know about fabric spre ading or lay. Fabric spreading: In garments industry, fabric is cut for more garments at a time. To cut fabric f or more than one garment according to production plan and markers length and wid th, fixed size (length and width) fabrics are plies, this process is called fabr ic spreading. Adorned fabric according to this way create plies is fabric lay. More than hundreds plies are made a fabric lay. Lay of fabric can be made manual ly or mechanically. Fabric lay is made for two reasons, 1. Fabric savings 2. Time savings As hundreds of fabrics plies are used to make fabric lay so the table where the lay is made must be strong and the surface of the table must be smooth. Speciall y if the spreading machine is used to spread fabric then the spreading table mus t be more strong than other time. It takes much time to spread fabric. 3.1 Requirement of fabric spreading: There are some requirements to make clean and accurate fabric spreading. Some of requirements must be fulfil among all requirements, others are not too m uch essential. The major requirements are shown as below, 1. Alignment of fabric plies: According to the length and width of marker we need to spread the fabric. It is necessary to control that during fabric lay making period the each ply of fabric must be placed within the area of marker area. Other wise the fabric of which ply is not placed according to the length or widt h of marker, its cut pattern will be defect able. To prevent this problem at lis t one side of the ply of fabric must be aligned and placed. The fabric ply is al ways 4 cm large than the marker length to adjust the length ply with the length of marker. It is a mater of care that. 2. Correct tension: Lay is made by placing fabric ply one over one. Fabric can be spread by manually and mechanically. However, the fabric is spread that must be tensionless. It is mater of care that the lay must not be lousy. Because the lay will be defect ab le. During the spreading period of fabric if the tension is high then the garment ma y shrink at cutting or sewing period. As a result the garment will be defect abl e. For this reason, at the fabric spreading period we need to be careful due to balance fabric spreading. There are some fabrics which tension full from the very beginning. Before creati ng lay of fabric must be at first tension free. Usually fabric cutting process s tarts after 12 to14 hours of lay making.

3. Fabric must be flat during spreading: During fabric spreading the fabric must be flat. If crinkle is found, it is duty to remove the crinkle immediately. If crinkle is present then panels of the gar ments defect able. 4. Elimination of fabric flaws: If any flaws create during fabric spreading, the flaws must be located and then must be remove as soon as possible. It is his duty to find out and remove the fl aws whose spreads fabric. There are many ways to remove flaws. 5. Correct ply direction: It is needed to identify which type of fabric that is going to spread. If the fa bric is semantic then it will not make any problem. But if the fabric is semanti c, then according to marker plan ply will be directed. Other wise the garment wi ll be flaws full. 6. Elimination of static electricity: At the period of fabric spreading lay the friction among the different fabrics s tatic electricity may create. During spreading of synthetic fabric static electr icity occurs. As a result it becomes difficult to place one fabric on another. I t removes this problem it is necessary to reduce the friction between fabrics. T he following ways can be used to avoid the problem, 1. Increase the humidity of the room 2. Earthling system can be managed for lay. 7. Easy separation of cut panels of the garments from the fabric plies: The size of the bundle of cut fabric depends on the width of the lay. Symbols ar e used to detect separately the ply of fabric due to color differences or shade variation. For this separation process, cheap color papers are used within the p lies. These color papers are used to separate each group of ply from the other. 8. Avoidance of fusion of plies during cutting: Heat creates when cutting knife is used to cut the fabric plies due to friction between knife and fabric. The fabrics which are made by thermoplastic fibre may damage due to heat which creates for friction between knife and fabric. As a res ult it is difficult to separate the panels from one another. Not to face this ty pe of problem anti-fusion paper is used within the lay. 9. Avoidance of distortion in spreading: Lower part of the ply of fabric may crinkle at the cutting period due to frictio n between base plate and knife. As a result, defect panels may made. To avoid th is problem, smooth paper is needed to lay the fabric. 10. Matching check or strips: It is necessary to look after that during fabric spreading plies of fabric must be same. 3.2 Method of fabric spreading or lay the fabric: Fabrics are supplied to the garments factory in pack. Two methods are used to la y the fabric.

1. Manual method 2. Mechanical method. At YHT manual method is used to lay the fabric. At one edge of the spreading tab le there is a spreading track where the fabric roll is set up. Then the fabric t rack is driven/moved from one edge to another edge. Such way the roll of fabric is spread one after another. In this way a plies of fabric is made. Subsequently sub store arranges fabric for cutting section. After fabric spreadi ng by the cutting section real cutting process starts. 3.3 Fabric Cutting: It is difficult to define what fabric cutting is. In garments industry, the proc ess how parts of the garments are separated from the spread according to the gar ment pattern which is drawn on the marker is called fabric cutting. Fabric cutti ng is very important because there is little option to remove mistake if it is c ommitted. 3.4 Requirements of Fabric Cutting: Due to proper and accurate fabric cutting it is necessary to follow some conditi ons. They are as follows, i. Precession Of Cut: It is necessary to cut the part of garments according to the pattern shape which is drawn on the marker. The garments will not be proper in size after sewing if the parts of a garment are not cut correctly. Cutting of proper shaped garment s parts depends on cutting procedure, and some time if even also depends on mark er planning and marker making. If the cutting process is automatic then accurate fabric cutting depends on cutting machine and operator of the cutting machine.

ii. Clean Edge: After cutting the fabric, the edge of the cut pattern must be clean. It is matte r of care that the cut part must not be unsmooth. If the cutting knife is not sh arp such type of problem may occur. iii. Infused Edge: Some time edge of a cut fabric may fused due to heat which create by friction of cutting knife with fabric during cutting period. As a result cut fabric parts b ecome attached with one another and it is very difficult to separate them. To av oid such type of problem the cutting knife must be sharp, anti silicon lubricant spray can be used, the width of lay of fabric can be thin and motion of cutting knife could be slow. iv. Support Of The Lay: Cutting process is also related with the surface of the cutting table. The cutti ng table must be able to carry the load of the lay. v. Consistent Cutting:

Many cutting process is used to cut fabric but the cutting must be consistent. T he cutting of top to bottom ply must be same shaped.

3.5 Method of Fabric Cutting: For long before metal blade or knife is using to cut fabric. As metal blade or k nife is using for cutting fabric, it is needed to change or sharp the blade. The cutting machine machines which are used to cut fabric are divided into two g roups. The cutting machines of both groups are as follows, 1. Manual method : Scissor i, .Hand operated. ii .Round knife. iii .Straight knife. iv .Band knife. v .Die cutting vi. Notcher vii. Drill

2. Computerised method: i. Knife cutting ii. Cutting by water jet iii. Laser cutting iv. Plasma torch cutting Straight knife is used for fabric cutting in YHT. In garments sector, straight k nife is used as fabric cutter and its use is more than others. Special part of th is machine is base plate. Under the base plate there are some small wheels which help to move the cutting machine through electric motor from one place to anoth er. There is a handle with the motor which is used to direct the cutting machine . The straight knife is placed within a stand. There is a knife guarder in front of the knife. Two type of force are necessary to operate the cutting machine. With the motor the machine reciprocating is done in smooth motion and cutting operator moves th e knife from one place to another on the lay. How much pressure of the machine i s required depends on the width of the lay and blade stroke. The strength and wi dth of the machine depends on the motors strength and weight. The thickness and s trength of the standard of the blade depends on blades height. If the height of t he standard of the blade is high then the blade will be thick and strong. Usuall y the height of the blade is 10 to 33 cm and stroke is 2.5 to 4.5 cm. The sharp part of the knife may be in different shape. Generally straight edge is used mor e and it is more perfect for soft and thin fabric. Waved edge is used to cut pla stic and canvass. Same machine is used to cut different fabric by setting differ ent motion. After Cutting cut panels are numbered and hand over to QA for cut panels inspect ion, though QA is concern about the fabric roll and lay. After QA inspection if Embroidery or Printing require then the cut panels are se nt to Embroidery/Printing section.

With the direct supervision of Floor Chief, Line Chief and Line Supervisor start lay out of that style following the QRS construction approved by buyer.

4.0 Embroidery Activities: All embroidery design and document are received from sales department. All mater ials receives from MCD as per material list such as embroidery threads, bobbin t hreads, all kind of inter lining,, both side tape and fabric for approval sample . Embroidery section collects cut fabric from cutting section and pattern from Pat tern section. The embroidery design is insatiate in the embroidery machines and embroidery machines automatically make embroidery on the specific place of the c ut panels. 4.1 Printing: Printing procedure is as same as embroidery. The collection process of informati on, cut fabric panels, documents etc are as same as embroidery process. After embroidery, cut panels are back the cutting section issue to sewing floor. Line Chief collect issue paper from cutting section and start collecting cut pan els, materials, documents etc from cutting section, sub store, sales respectivel y by issue girls selected for each lines. 5.0 Sewing: Sewing is the most important part of garments manufacturing process. Sewing mean s generally joining of pieces of fabric with one another with needle and thread. Without needle and thread fabrics can be joined with one another. But process o f sewing with needle and thread is so popular. Because strength, flexibility of sewing is high. In garments industry sewing is operated and done by sewing machi nes with needle and threads. 5.1 Properties Of Seam: According to which line the fabrics are joined is called Seam. Seam is derived whe n fabrics are joined or pasted. The main purpose of seam is to create an appeara nce and performance maintained a standard quality level and whose cost is low. A good appearances seam means that seam where stitches are well and correctly coordinated and which does no harm to fabric. Moreover, the fabric will be smooth according to the seam line. Different techniques are applied to get good appeara nce due to different fabric and different constructed fabric. It is necessary to ensure the seam will be alright after washing. The quality of a seam means its strength, elasticity, durability, security, comfo rtibility and maintained the quality if there is any special property of fabric such as water proof and flame proof. 5.2 The standard of seam: 1. Seam strength:

The strength of seam would be equal to the strength of fabric or a little less s trength is acceptable. This strength is applicable through vertically and horizo ntally of seam. If the strength of seam is more than fabric, it may cause that t he fabric may tore due to heavy pressure, which is not expected by us. 2. Elasticity: By force the fabric may stretched, then seam beed to be stretched according to t he fabric stretched. It means the elasticity of seam will be equal to the elasti city of fabric or elasticity of seam will be more than fabric. Other wise the stitch may tore. 3. Durability: The durability of seam will not less than the durability of fabric. Because if t he durability of seam is less than fabric, the seam may damaged during washing p eriod.

4. Security: During using period of wear seam may be tore. It need to be ensure that the seam will not tore. 5. Comfort: Seam must be comfortable. 5.3 Type of Stitch:

Seam and stitch are co related with one another. Because, without seam stitch ca nt be made. Again without stitch seam would not be made. Seam is done by interlop ing, interloping or interlacing process with one or more threads and each unit o f it is called stitch. In Young one Hi-Tech following stitch are used to assemble different panels of a garment. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Chain stitch. Hand stitch. Lock Stitch. Multi threads chain stitch. Covering chain Stitch. Over edge stitch.

5.4

Sewing Machine:

Sewing machine is essential for smooth sewing for large volume of garments in in dustrial sector. Different sewing machines are required for different types of s titches. In YHT, different types of sewing machines are used to assemble differe nt panels of a garment. The sewing machines which are used in YHT are as follows , Types of MachineBrand

Sewing Procedure:

Joining of each panel/part of a garment is called operation. The man or woman jo in the panel is called operator. An operator does not join the every panels of a garment. All operations are divides among the operators of a line. Each operato r does some specific operation. First point of a line is called input. A line starts with a input. At first the inter lining of a garment is joined. After that, lining part of the garment is j oined. Then gradually the other part of the garment is assembled. The last point of a line is called finishing. There is a mid point of the line a nd is called in line inspection point. Finishing is the final inspection point o f a line. If it passes then the garment is sent for packing.

Testing and Inspection: The full inspection of a garment can be done at this level, because before this level inspection of full garment can not be possible. In favour of the garments buyer this inspection is very much important. At this level the size, form fitti ng and faults of the garments are inspected. The size of the garment must be mat ch with the labels size, because the garment will be unusefull if the size of the garment is not as same as the labels size. Then it is need to inspect that the garment must be with the gender label. The g arments gender label will be according to the garments style. More over, it is also needed to inspect that the accessories are maintaining the quality according the technical sheet and assort card. Such as the zipper, butt on, snap button, Velcro attached with the garment must as same as the assort car d. Packaging: After testing and inspection, finish goods go for packaging process. Basically, packaging is the process by which garments are packed in a specific sized carton for safety from out side dust and other harmful factors. All cartons size are e qual and each carton contains equal quantity of garments of a specific style. On the carton surface, the garments style, quantity, color, size, P.O number, desti nation etc are mentioned. Mainly it is needed to display all sorts of necessary information on the surface of the carton by which it can be recognized the produ ct buyer, product style, size, color, quantity etc.. Pre - shipment inspection: It is a random inspection, using MIL-STD-100E. BS 6001. ISO2859, DIN 40080, on t o the buyers individual required standard after the shipment has been completed, packed and ready to ship. Color, appearance, workmanship, style etc, will be che cked against the buyers specifications. Pre shipment inspection is mainly done to inspect that the carton quantity, cart on size, cartons item is as same as commercial invoice and packing list. Documentation After the production documentation team of sales department is responsible for t

he arrangement of smooth export of finished goods. For this, the relevant concer n are also to be familiar to the in hand order situation as well as production p lan/ daily progress of production whenever any style is ready to ship out. The e xport documentation team is split into two different parts as, 1. Internal documentation team 2. External documentation team 1. Internal documentation team: Internal documentation team prepares internal document. They prepare the commerc ial invoice, packing list, under taking form and export form and then refer thos e to the external documentation team. 2. External documentation team: External documentation team arranges E/P, C/O, E/L, FCR. B/L, AWB etc as require d. They prepare a monthly export status.

SWOT Analysis: Generally we make SWOT analysis to know the organization overall position. Throu gh this analysis we could be able to know the organizationsS = Strength W = Weakness O = Opportunity T = Thread. Strength: Wide geographic coverage and distribution Good and familiar working environment Strong computerized technology Excellent distribution and sales network Presence of human resource department A good number of efficient and satisfied workforce Minimizing any harmful or hazardous impact on the environment Has long-term commitment to its buyers, clients, associates and employees. Established quick communication system among the branches to branches, departmen ts to departments by using LAN, intercom system, Internet, fax, and on phone. Using modern and expensive technology like SAP software, video conferencing, com puterized digital camera etc. The organization provides strong job safety to its employees.

Threat: New competitors have entered in the market and coping market share gradually Strong competitors are maintaining marketing research process and analyzing the market share and influence target buyers. Going out skilful workers from the organization may cause great harm by providin g the learned policies of the organization and so on. Basically, in Bangladesh aspect politically instability (hartal, strike, karfio etc) is one of the great problems for any sorts of business.

Recommendation and conclusion: Three months are short time to know every aspect of an organization like Youngon e and it is too difficult to for the company. I have tried my best on the basis of my little knowledge. The organization should implement more challenging rewar d and appraisal structure for its employees. Price should be more competitive wi th best competitors because the challenger can attack the leader by launching in

novative product and superior product. Youngone is a well-known organization and it has made a revolution in marketing of garments appliances. They are exporting heist quality product expanding their sales and marketing network. After analyzing the whole process of garments manufacturing it becomes clear tha t extreme competition is going on in the market and the competition is mostly ba sed on quality.
