2.2 The Step-by-step Process of Garment Manufacturing
Garment manufacturers are primarily engaged in the design, cutting and sewing of garments
from fabric. Some manufacturers are contractors or subcontractors, which generally
manufacture apparel from materials owned by other firms. Larger manufacturers often
contract production to many such contractors or subcontractors in the U.S. and abroad. Some
manufacturers are vertically integrated, producing the textiles from which they make
garments, or even operating retail outlets too. In a garments there have a chain of command
process of producing a garment. The process is given sequentially bellow:
Organizational Areas in Garment Manufacturing:
On industrial basis there are certain areas or sequence through which garments are
manufactured.
19
2.2.1 Design / Sketch:
In the garment manufacturing the first step is designing the sketch for the dresses that have to
be prepared. For this purpose the designer first draw several rough sketches in the sketch
book.
The designer does not go for details at this moment but he rather let his creativity flow on the
paper and he draws many sketches. Later these sketches are analyzed by a panel of designers.
They finally select few out of them. These few sketches are rendered in detail separately or in
the form of a single collection. The designer also draws working drawings along with the
sketch. Working drawings are flat drawing of the sketch and it help pattern maker in
understanding the patterns involved in the construction.
20
2.2.2 Pattern Design:
The pattern maker now develop first pattern for the designs in any one standard size.
This is made by pattern drafting method and the purpose of making this pattern is to create
the sample garment for test fit.
21
2.2.3 Sample Making:
The first patterns are sent to the sewing unit for assembling them into garment.
This is usually stitched on calico or muslin which is an inferior quality of fabric and it
reduces cost. This sample is constructed to analyze the pattern fit and design too. After the
sample garment is stitched it is reviewed by a panel of designers, pattern makers and sewing
specialists. If any changes have to be made they are made at this time.
22
2.2.4 Production Pattern:
The pattern design is now taken for creating the production patterns. The production pattern
is one which will be used for huge production of garments.
The pattern maker makes the patterns on standard pattern making paper. These papers are
made-up of various grades. Garment patterns can be constructed by two means: manual
method, CAD/CAM method. Today many companies have developed CAD. A garment
sewing pattern or garment fabric & patterns draft is developed by calculating, taking account
of the following measurements: -
1. Direct Sample.
2. Specification Sheet/ Measurement Chart.
3. Actual body size measurements.
4. Ease Allowances.
5. Sewing Allowance.
23
These allowances are different for different type of fabrics and patterns.
2.2.5 Grading& Measurement
The purpose of grading is to create patterns in different standard sizes in proper
measurement.
Grading a pattern is really scaling a pattern up or down in order to adjust it for multiple sizes.
Pattern sizes can be large, medium and small or else there are standard patterns of size 10,
12, 14, 16 and so on for different figure and statures sizes. This is generally how we get S M
L XL XXL sizing.
24
2.2.6 Pattern grading:
Pattern grading by manual method is a cumbersome task because the grader has to alter the
pattern on each and every point from waist belt to crotch, Raise seam, Back Raise, Inseam
etc. by using CAD it is much easier and faster.
2.2.7 Marker Making:
The measuring department determines the fabric yardage needed for each style and size of
garment. Computer software helps the technicians create the optimum fabric layout to
suggest so fabric can be used efficiently. Markers, made in accordance to the patterns are
attached to the fabric with the help of adhesive stripping or staples. Markers are laid in such a
way so that minimum possible fabric gets wasted during cutting operation. After marking the
garment manufacturer will get the idea of how much fabric he has to order in advance for the
construction of garments. Therefore careful execution is important in this step.
Computer marking is done on specialized software. In computerized marking there is no need
of large paper sheets for calculating the yardage, in fact, mathematical calculations are made
instead to know how much fabric is required.
2.2.8 Spreading:
With the help of spreading machines, fabric is stacked on one another in reaches or lays that
may go over 100 feet (30.5 m) long and hundreds of plies (fabric pieces) thick.
2.2.9 Cutting:
The fabric is then cut with the help of cloth cutting machines suitable for the type of the
cloth. These can be band cutters having similar work method like that of band saws; cutters
having rotary blades; machines having reciprocal blades which saw up and down; die
clickers similar to die or punch press; or computerized machines that use either blades or
laser beams to cut the fabric in desired shapes. There have to maintain quality during cutting.
25
Cutting quality control: In cutting section quality is insuring in two stages.
a) Spreading quality control: Following the point are checked during spreading
I. Table marking.
II. Ends
III. Tension
IV. Leaning
V. Narrow Goods
VI. Counts
VI. Ply height
VII. Remnants
VIII. Fabric flaws
IX. Market placing
b) After cutting quality control: After each cutting blocks and bundles are checks on the
following Points.
I. Miss cut
II. Ragged cutting
III. Pattern checks
IV. Matching Plies
V. Notches
26
2.2.10 Sorting/Bundling:
The sorter sorts the patterns according to size and design and makes bundles of them. This
step requires much precision because making bundles of mismatched patterns can create
severe problems. On each bundle there are specifications of the style size and the marker too
is attached with it.
2.2.11 Sewing/Assembling:
The sorted bundles of fabrics are now ready to be stitched. Large garment manufacturers
have their own sewing units other use to give the fabrics on contract to other contractors.
Stitching in-house is preferable because one can maintain quality control during the
processing. On the other hand if contractors are hired keeping eye on quality is difficult
unless the contactor is one who precisely controls the process.
There are what is called sewing stations for sewing different parts of the cut pieces. In this
workplace, there are many operators who perform a single operation. One operator may
make only straight seams, while another may make sleeve insets. Yet another two operators
can sew the waist seams, and make buttonholes. Various industrial sewing machines too have
different types of stitches that they can make. These machines also have different
configuration of the frame. Some machines work sequentially and feed their finished step
directly into the next machine, while the gang machines have multiple machines performing
the same operation supervised by a single operator. All these factors decide what parts of a
garment can be sewn at that station. Finally, the sewn parts of the garment, such as sleeves or
pant legs, are assembled together to give the final form to the clothing.
27
2.2.12 Inspection:
Open seams, wrong stitching techniques, non- matching threads, and missing stitches,
improper creasing of the garment, erroneous thread tension and raw edges are some of the
sewing defects which can affect the garment quality adversely. During processing the quality
control section needs to check each prepared article against these defects.
2.2.13 Pressing/ Finishing:
The next operations are those of finishing and/or decorating. Molding may be done to change
the finished surface of the garment by applying pressure, heat, moisture, or certain other
combination. Pressing, pleating and creasing are the basic molding processes. Creasing is
mostly done before other finishing processes like that of stitching a cuff. Creasing is also
done before decorating the garment with something like a pocket, appliqués, embroidered
emblems etc.
Vertical and form presses is automated machines. Perform simple pressing operations, such
as touching up wrinkles in knit shirts, around embroidery and snaps, and at difficult-to-reach
places on garments.
2.2.14 Final Inspection:
For the textile and apparel industry, product quality is calculated in terms of quality and
standard of fibers, yarns, fabric construction, color fastness, designs and the final finished
garments. Quality control in terms of garment manufacturing, pre-sales and posts sales
service, delivery, pricing, etc are essential for any garment manufacturer, trader or exporter.
Certain quality related problems, often seen in garment manufacturing like sewing, color,
sizing, or garment defects should never be over looked.
28
Reject Issue:
After being done above process there has large number of product (garments) are rejected
cause of bellow defect found in garments body.
Sewing defects
Open seams, wrong stitching techniques, non- matching threads, missing stitches, improper
creasing of the garment, erroneous thread tension and raw edges are some of the sewing
defects which can affect the garment quality adversely.
Color defects:
Variation of color between the sample and the final garment, wrong color combinations and
mismatching dyes should always be avoided.
Sizing defects:
Wrong gradation of sizes, difference in measurement of various parts of a garment like
sleeves of XL size for body of L size garment can deteriorate the garments beyond repair.
Garment defects:
Broken or defective buttons, snaps, stitches, different shades within the same garment,
dropped stitches, exposed notches and raw edges, fabric defects, holes, faulty zippers, loose
or hanging sewing threads, misaligned buttons and holes, missing buttons, needle cuts or
chews, pulled or loose yarn, stains, unfinished buttonhole, short zippers, inappropriate
trimmings etc. all can lead to the end of a brand name even before its establishment.
Packing:
29
The finished garments are finally sorted on the basis of design and size and packed to send
for distribution to the retail outlets.
2.3 Reporting& Co-ordinating Sector:
In this sector all the production related report have to coordinate with some formatted

2.6 Major Findings
In Bangladesh most of the garment factories use different tools for quality
management but not in organized way. When needs they use these tools haphazardly?
39
In Bangladesh most of the garments factories use 4-point system for inspecting fabrics of
garments.
Most of the buyers are importing garments from Bangladesh with AQL (acceptable
quality level) 2.5.
Most of the garments manufacturers are doing inspection during the manufacturing
process of garments.
Other tests such as shrinkage tests, color fastness tests, azo free tests are done according
to the buyers’ requirement.
2.7SWOT Analysis of Ha-Meem Group: Next Collections Ltd.
2.7.1 Strengths:
40
Stander machinery is used for better quality and all of those machineries being imported
from the foreign country. That does ensure the performance.
Well decorated and open space facilities that keep a worker easy to do his/her job with
comfortably.
All Floor have available adjust fan that keeps the environment cool in hot day and all
time electricity supply.
A large number of Machinery those keep the organization fit and huge number of
experienced workers to make quality products.
Well environment inside the factory that workers friendly.
2.7.2 Weaknesses:
It’s fully depending on electricity without electricity the organizations have to set idle
with a vast number of employ & workers.
Depend on buyer acceptance of products if any simple defects are found in a body then
all the body will be rejected.
Limited internet technology is used for which the organization is unknown to many
countries.
2.7.3 Opportunities:
To go first position in Bangladesh at RMG sector as still they are in a second position.
Regulatory environment favoring RMG in Bangladesh and it has a better future.
41
Online deal with foreign buyers that can maintain the deal by having native country and
reduce the time wastage.
Chance to use more update machineries for getting the better quality & save time.
There may have huge profit from this sector as they are an export oriented organization &
to western.
2.7.4 Threats:
Workers have the tendency to Agitation in any time for increasing salary and stop there
work by demanding their more facility.
Number of potential competitors in those areas increasing day by day it’s a great risk for
the organization.
I observed that most of them employee are not cooperative. Everyone wants to take
demand from others.
It has no surety to get order from buyer it’s a risk for the organization.

Chapter THREE……………………………………........
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 Conclusion:
In conclusion, Ha-Meem Group: Next Collections Ltd. is one of the most potential garments
in the RMG sector. The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry occupies a unique position
43
in the Bangladesh economy. It is the largest exporting industry in Bangladesh, which
experienced phenomenal growth during the last 25 years. By taking advantage of an insulated
market under the provision of Multi Fiber Agreement (MFA), it attained a high profile in
terms of foreign exchange earnings, exports, industrialization and contribution to GDP within
a short span of time. The industry plays a key role in employment generation and in the
provision of income to the poor. The government and the RMG sector would have to jointly
work together to maintain competitiveness in the global RMG market. Bangladesh can look
forward to advancing its vastnesses the global RMG market. It has a large portfolio with
huge assets to meet up its any types of risk and management of these garments is equipped
with the expert employers and managers in all level of management with a vast number of
workers. So it is not an easy job to find out the drawbacks of Ha-Meem Group: Next
Collections Ltd. We would rather feel like producing our own option about the ongoing
practices in Next Collections Ltd. The garments have achieved sustainable growth in export
in 2012 and the performance of the garments was satisfactory. Major items of exports were
garments, jute products, textile, and lather etc. items of import included mainly industrial raw
materials, garments accessories, capital machinery and other essential commodities.
3.2 Recommendation
I had the practical exposure in Ha-Meem Group: Next Collections Ltd. For just three months,
with my little experience in this organizations is comparison with vast and complex system,
44
it is very difficult for me to recommend. I had observed some shortcomings regarding
operational and other aspects of their production system. On the basis of observation I would
like to recommend the following recommendations-.
I recommend that the factory should improve its web page as they are an exporting
company. There have a very few information in their web page and those
information is very poor.
Again Next Collections of Ha-Meem Group is situated in countryside it should come
forward as if foreign buyer can deal easily with them.
Ha-Meem Group should enrich by new technology to make a good competition
among the RMG factory.’
As the numbers of potential competitor are increasing day by day so it should take a
strong step to keep retain in the competition market.
Ha-Meem Group: Next Collections Ltd. should try to arrange more training programs for
their official’s quality training will help the officials to enrich them with more recent
knowledge of International Trade Financing
