Garments manufacturing sequence: Step wise garments manufacturing sequence on industrial basis is given bellow:
A brief discussion on manufacturing sequence:
1. Design/ sketch: for the production of knit garments or woven garments a sketch of particular garments including its design features is essential to produce on paper so that after manufacturing of that garments could be verified or checked whether it looks like the sketch or not. Design/sketch of the garments could be done manually or with the help of computer.
2. Pattern design: hard paper copy of the each component of the garments of exact dimension of each component is called pattern. The patterns also include seam allowance, trimming allowance, pleats, ease allowance, any special design.etc affairs. Pattern design could also be done manually of with the help of computer.
3. Sample making: the patterns are used to cut the fabric. Then the garment compounds in fabric form are used to sew/assemble the garment. Sample garment making is to done by a very efficient and technically sound person.
4. Production pattern: the patterns of the approved sample garment is used for making production pattern, during production pattern making, sometime it may be necessary to modify pattern design if buyer or appropriate authority suggests any minor modification.
5. Grading: normally for large scale garments production of any style needs different size to produce. From a set of particular size of patterns, the patterns of different sizes are produced by using grade rule which is called grading.
6. Marker making: The entire pattern price for all the required sizes are arranged of the paper in such a way so that maximum number of garments could be produced with minimum fabric wastage. Makers are made for 6, 12, 18, 24 etc.
7. Spreading: it is the process of arranging fabrics on the spreading table as per length and width of the marker in stack form. Normally height of the lay/ fabric is limited up to maximum six inch high. But 4 inch to 5 inch height of the lay is safe.
8. Fabric cutting: on the fabric lay/ spread, the marker paper is placed carefully and accurately, and pinned with the fabric to avoid unwanted movement or displacement of the marker paper, normally straight knife cutting machine is used to cut out the garment component as per exact dimension of each patterns in stack form. Care must be taken to avoid cutting defect.
9. Sorting/ bundling: after cutting the entire fabric lay, all the garments components in stack form is sorted out as per size and color. To avoid mistake in sorting it is better to use code number on each pattern.
10. Assembling and sewing: it is the most important department/ section of a garment manufacturing industry. Sewing machine of different types is arranged as a vertical ling to assemble the garments. Sequence of types of sewing machine arrangement depends of sequence of assembling operations. Number of sewing machine per ling varies from 20 nos. to 60 nos. depending on the style of the garments to be produced.
11. Inspection: each and every garment after sewing passes through the inspection table/ point. Where the garments are thoroughly and carefully checked to detect / find any defect if present in the garment. The defects may be for example variation of measurement, sewing defect, fabric defects, spots, etc.
12. pressing / finishing : after passing through the inspection table , each garment is normally ironed/ pressed to remove unwanted crease and improve the smoothness, so that the garments looks nice to the customer.
13. Final inspection: it is the last stage of inspection of the manufactured garments of behalf of the garment manufacturing organizational, to detect any defective garments before packing.
14. Packing: after final inspection, the garments are poly packed, color wise, size wise, bundled and packed in the cartoon. The cartoon is marked with important information in printed form which is seem outside the cartoon easily.
15. Dispatch to buyer: the cartoons of the garments are delivered or placed in the dispatch department or finished product storage, from where the garments lot is delivered for shipment.
