Why study Textile Engineering?

Textiles touch today’s world in every sphere. The most obvious use of textiles is the clothes we wear, but in addition textiles are found in drapery, upholstery and other furnishings. Going even further, textiles are used extensively in automobiles, aircraft, spacecraft, ships and boats. Medical textiles include a whole range of uses, such as hernia meshes, artificial knee caps and other prosthetic devices, heart valves etc. Textiles are used in the construction industry, as geo-textiles to prevent soil erosion and in diverse other ways. The Sri Lankan garment industry is the largest export industry in Sri Lanka, with a major portion of the nation’s export revenue coming through this industry. The curriculum of the textile engineering course has been tailored to gear the student to face the challenges of this industry with confidence

Determining exactly when humans began wearing clothes is a challenge, largely because early clothes would have been things like animal hides, which degrade rapidly. Therefore, there’s very little archaeological evidence that can be used to determine the date that clothing started being worn.

There have been several different theories based on what archaeologists have been able to find. For instance, based on genetic skin-coloration research, humans lost body hair around one million years ago—an ideal time to start wearing clothes for warmth. The first tools used to

Merchandising Activities:

The successful execution of any garment export order depends on the work performance of a merchandiser. The functions of merchandising are playing a different role in different situation. Some important functions are given as below:

Basic qualification of a good Merchandiser?

Merchandiser:

The Man, who is involved in garments trade, as a order sourcing, developed the order, negotiated with buyer and supplier and execute the order in a required time frame is called Merchandiser. The functions of a merchandiser are known as Merchandising. The term merchandising has been derived from the word merchandise, which means goods that is bought and sold.

Merchandising is a business on marketing activities responsible for ensuring a products description both quality and quantity. Merchandising means total responsibility of a Merchandiser.

In other words merchandising is the marketing activity responsible for ensuring a product’s “desirability”, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

How to be calculating Fabric GSM without GSM Cutter?

GSM is short form of “Gram Per Square Meter”. GSM is the weight in gram per square meter in fabric. GSM is a very important parameter of specified a certain quality of knitted fabric. The production calculated in “Weight” for knitting. GSM Cutter is very popular & easy usable instrument in all knit factory. But, now we learn How to be calculating Fabric GSM without GSM Cutter.

What is Merchandising ?

Textile and garments sector is the biggest and fastest growing sector of Bangladesh. It is also the highest foreign currency earning sector of Bangladesh. Bangladesh earns nearly $10 billion a year by exporting textile and garments products, mainly to Europe and the United States. The RMG industry has around 5000 units across the country where, 85 percent of the workers are poor woman. Among this sector, knit garments is growing very rapidly due to less investment requirement, strong of backwards linkage and earn more high profit than woven garments. That’s why export of knit garments has been increasing for last few years.

What is difference between RFD and Greige Fabric?

RFD is a short form of Ready for Dyeing. And Greige fabric is referred to raw fabric.

RFD fabrics are named those fabrics which are processed like scouring andbleaching to removed wax, oils, darts and sizing material & applied before make to the fabric ready for dyeing. RFD fabric is used for manufacturing the colored garments, printing and fabric dyeing etc.

5S-Tool of Industrial Engineering

5S:
The first pillar of TPM is called 5S, which organize and cleans work place; this helps to make problems visible and attracts the attentions of everyone. Brief description of 5S elements are as follows:

Sort (Seire): The first step in making things cleaned up and organized.

Set In Order (Seiton): Organize, identify and arrange everything in a work area.

Shine (Seiso): Regular cleaning and maintenance.

Standardize (Seiketsu): Make it easy to maintain, simplify and standardize.

Sustain (Shitsukt): Maintain what has been achieved.

Traditionally operated garment industries are facing problems like low productivity,longer production lead time, high rework and rejection, poor line balancing, lowflexibility of style changeover etc.These problems were addressed in this study by the implementation of lean tools like cellular manufacturing, single piece flow, workstandardization, just in time production etc.

4.1 Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)

Machine breakdown is one of the major headaches for people related to production. The reliability of the equipment on the shop floor is very important because if any one of the machines is down the
entire shop floor productivity may be nil. The tool that takes care of these sudden breakdowns and awakes maintenance as well as production workers to minimize these unplanned breakdowns is called total productive maintenance. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a maintenance program, which involves a newly defined concept for maintaining plants and equipment. The goal of the TPM program is to increase production, increase employee morale and job satisfaction. (Bisen and

3.1 Just in Time

Just in time is an integrated set of activities designed to achieve high volume production using the minimal inventories of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. Just in time is also based on the logic that nothing will be produced until it is needed (Shivanand, 2006, p. 45).

Just-in-time manufacturing is a Japanese management philosophy applied in manufacturing. It involves having the right items with the right quality and quantity in the right place at the right time. The ability to manage inventory (which often accountsfor as much as 80 percent of product cost) to coincide with market demand or changing product specifications can substantially boost profits and
