Garments Labels | Different types of Label which are used in garment industry

Garments Labels:

Garments labels are sewn or printed in garments and contain, country of origin, manufacturer identification number, care instruction, and voluntary information identifying size and brand. Garments labels should be affixed and legible for the useful life of the apparel item. Garment labels are selected based on location of label (interior or exterior application); type and design of the garments; contact with the wearer’s skin; intricacy or simplicity of the label content (logo, graphic art, word, and so on); garment fabric, brand, quality, and price point; and information to be disclosed.

Label types:

Garments labels are created by manufacturers from both mature and synthetic fibers and can be woven or printed. Woven labels are more durable and maintain their appearance and legibility longer than printed labels after repeated laundering or dry-cleaning. Materials used for sew- in labels include acetate, cotton, bamboo, polyester, leather, suede, PVC, silicon, or rubber.

How to Calculate Garments Cost of Manufacturing (CM) | Knit Garments CM Calculation Formula

CM is the abbreviation for Cost of Manufacturing. In apparel industry CM means Manufacturing Cost of 12 pcs garments. To calculate Manufacturing Cost of 12 pcs knit garments of a specific order we must know-

1. Monthly expenditure of the factory,

2. Total running machine,

3. Machine qty to execute the layout of the specific order,

4. Daily (8 hour/day) productivity of the said order (excluding alter and reject) and

5. Dollar conversion rate (if monthly expenditure amount is other than US Dollar)

Suppose,

-Monthly Factory Expenditure is BD Taka 40,00,000

Bottleneck

The upper narrow portion of a bottle is called neck (opening side) that is an obstruction to go to the way from large portion of bottle through narrow portion of neck. It is a metaphorical scene of obstruction of production sector. It is an extreme point in a production sector where production is hampered from normal flow of production. In a production sector bottleneck means lost production and lost profit e.g. the lowest capacity of production.

Bottleneck in production line

The lowest output point in production line is called bottleneck. The bottleneck area is where supply gathered and production goes under capacity. In the chain working systems the supply of an operator is the feeding of next operator. So, the minimum supply from bottleneck point will be the feeding of

What are Allowances & Different types of allowances which are used in garments industries?

Allowance:

The normal time for an operation does not contain any allowances for the worker. It is impossible to work throughout the day even though the most practicable, effective method has been developed. Even under the best working method situation, the job will still demand the expenditure of human effort and some allowance must therefore be made for recovery from fatigue and for relaxation.

Allowances must also be made to enable the worker to attend to his personal needs. The allowances are categorized as:

1. Relaxation Allowance: 

Relaxation allowance may be of two types:

Industrial Engineering ( IE ) for Apparel Manufacturing Industries.

INTRODUCTION

Due to the increasing labor wage in developed countries, the apparel manufacturing has been migrating from the high wage developed world to low wage developing countries (Bheda, Narag and Singla, 2003). Even though the labor cost is cheaper than in developed countries; due to the specific market nature of the garment industries for example: the short production life cycle, high volatility, low predictability, high level of impulse purchase, the quick market response; garment industries are facing the greatest challenges these days (Lucy Daly and Towers, 2004).

Garment industries in developing countries are more focused on sourcing of raw material and minimizing delivery cost than labor productivity because of the availability of cheap labor. Due to this, labor productivity is lower in developing countries than in the developed ones. For example, labour is very cheap in Bangladesh but the productivity is poor among other developing countries (Shahidul and Syed Shazali, 2011). Similarly, the cost of fabric is a major part of the garment so there

Waste Reduction Techniques for Garments Industries.

Waste Reduction Techniques :
Some of the waste reduction tools include zero defects, setup time reduction, and line balancing. The goal of zero defects is to ensure that products are fault free all the way, through continuous improvement of the manufacturing process (Karlsson and Ahlstrom 1996). Human beings almost invariably will make errors. When errors are made and are not caught then defective parts will appear at the end of the process. However, if the errors can be prevented before they happen then defective
parts can be avoided. One of the tools that the zero defect principle uses is Poka Yoke. Poka-Yoke, which was developed by Shingo, is an autonomous defect control system that is put on a machine that inspects all parts to make sure that there are zero defects. The goal of Poka-Yoke is to observe the defective parts at the source, detect the cause of the defect, and to avoid moving the defective part to the next workstation (Feld, 2000).

Work procedure of a Garments Dyeing:

1.1  Desizing: This process to remove the size material and increase the absorbency power of the fabric to make the fabric suitable for the next process is called Desizing.

Chemical Types:

 1. Detergent – 200gm

2. Caustic soda – 400gm

3. Water – 400 L

4. Hydrogen Peroxide – 600gm

5. Temperature - 70°c
