Garments Manufacturing

During 2020, in the time of the COVID-19 during and after lockdown. Governments are imposing lockdown and shutdown for all activities/services inside the country to reduce the spread of the previously mentioned pandemic including international flights. Major factories and manufacturers had stopped for months during the pandemic which led to having thousands of people with no salaries. Major companies resorted to work from home procedures whenever they can to keep the business going. This research will focus on the Online buying intention that eventually leads to buying behavior of Ready-made Garments in Egypt over the internet and social media, such as Facebook and Instagram to be specific. Readymade garment industry has started booming with the spread of e-commerce, especially with the influence of social media. Paper focuses on the area of greater Cairo and its resident customer segment of readymade garments, focusing on middle and upper social with minimum college education, who ...

The significance of the material business in the economy of Bangladesh is high. The articles of clothing assembling area earned $19 billion in the year to June 2012, one of the bankrupted country's greatest commercial ventures. At present this industry is confronting awesome difficulties in its development rate. The significant purposes behind these difficulties can be the worldwide subsidence, unfavorable exchange strategies, interior security concerns, the high cost of creation because of expansion in the vitality costs, diverse well being issues uniquely fire, and so forth. Devaluation of Bangladeshi Taka that fundamentally raised the expense of imported inputs, ascend in swelling rate, and high cost of financing has likewise affected truly the development in the material business. Thus neither the purchasers can visit much of the time Bangladesh nor are the exporters ready to travel abroad for viably promoting their items. With a top to bottom examination it was found that t...

Lean management represents a systematic approach used for identifying and eliminating waste and non-value added activities from different industries, including the textile industry. Even if the lean manufacturing concept has shown important results in continuous process industry, the textile industry represents a good area for implementing this methodology targeting as a main objective the action of eliminating waste, thus reducing costs and therefore, increasing productivity. Being a customer oriented process, the system has the ability to eliminate a significant part of waste from the Romanian textile industry. As a result, this is an incipient study aimed to present the benefits of implementing Lean Management in the Romanian textile industry, through its improvement tools, as well as presenting a theoretical economic impact for a textile company. Also, taking into consideration that Lean Management is not yet applied in the Romanian textile field, the study will present a part of the areas which would need the Lean implementation, as well as further actions to be taken in order to improve productivity in textile industry.

The paper presents a new method that automates the process of extracting graphic information from reference images and integrating the data into patchwork garments design. The main stages of the transition from a 2D reference image to the 3D virtual and actual garment are proposed. The method was applied to model a women's coat based on a painting titled “Improvisation 4” by W.W. Kandinsky (1909). The possibilities of using computer graphic packages and computer-aided design (CAD) systems in patchwork garments design in relation to contemporary trends in apparel industry were shown.

Product quality is essential for textile and garment companies, and product diversity is also a critical concern. The variations in the garments ' production process are unacceptable, contributing to the appearance of defects, higher production costs, lower profit, and unsatisfied customers, respectively. Improving the level of quality for textile and clothing products is steadily increasing at global level. Due to the strength and competition of today's business climate, many major garment companies have been looking for ways to increase product quality. Lean Six Sigma approach can be applied by clothing companies to improve the quality of goods and operations, including production, reducing the number of mistakes and developing new products. Aiming to provide pertinent improvement proposals for the production process of a typical Romanian garment company, a research was conducted by applying the DMAIC process. Subsequent to the analysis of the company history, an evaluation of the production process was carried out and the causes that cause dysfunctionalities in the production cycle were identified. Finally, a series of improvements were proposed that would lead to the improvement of the activity in the company and generate a revival of this sector of activity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the seam performance for commercially available 100% cotton plain woven fabric. The eminence of seam is characterized by strength of the seam, the elongation of seam and efficiency of the seam. Seam strength along with seam efficiency can contribute as important factor in determining the durability of a garment. Seam strength is related to the type of seam, the strength, efficiency of the seam and the seam density as well. Specifically, 100% cotton plain woven fabric was used for seam performance analysis because of its availability in market. Four different types of stitch structures along with three types of sewing threads like Ne 40 s /2, 50 s /2, and 60 s /2 were used. Seam strength and efficiency of plain woven fabric was changed consecutively with different stitch types in conjunction with increasing stitch density and more specifically, maximum seam strength and efficiency were observed at cotton plain woven fabric for four thread overlock stitch structure together with 12 stitches per inch rather than others. Seam that contains more stitches per inch illustrates more seam strength and efficiency.

This project assesses the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and the partial withdrawal of the European Union’s Everything but Arms trade arrangement on employment in Cambodia’s garment sector. These trade-related shocks or disruptions are analyzed in the political context of Cambodia’s authoritarian shift, as the country has no functioning political opposition and independent trade unions ability to promote workers’ rights has been compromised. As for the economic context, the report looks at Cambodia’s foothold in the global garment industry, which remains as an assembly platform of low-value added apparel. The research addresses this de-facto market specialization and the implications when considering changes in power dynamics between global buyers and manufacturers who are consolidating and transnationalizing their production networks.

Digital printing method can be applied to fabric, paper ore ceramic, and is useful for many sectors, from fashion to marketing to interior design. Digital printing machines producers, have developed systems that will be an alternative to offset and other printing techniques and offer high quality, brighter and more colour possibilities at the desired speed, on the desired material and are more cost-effective. The big ore middle sized Turkiye's textile and press companies are pursuing digital machine industry developments and are using final technologies of them on production. In this study the prevalence of digital printing methods used in textile and printing industries of Turkiye were investigated and compared.

Stitches and seams are two necessary basic constituent of structure of an apparel product. Seam strength and efficiency may depend on the thread type and stitch types for various fabrics. The apparel makers select stitch types and sewing threads without paying attention to their effect on the overall performance of the apparel being made. The threads must be tested to guarantee that they meet those standards before entering the International market to enable consumers assured of the quality of sewing threads in the market which will help the consumers achieve desired results from threads in terms of seam. In this project, twill fabric shows the maximum seam strength and plain fabric shows maximum seam efficiency. Seam efficiency of plain fabric is better than other fabrics at same sewing thread linear density because of more binding point in the plain fabric than other fabric. So it is said that plain fabric is suitable for all types of seam inside the seam strength and the efficiency. Based on the outcomes of the current study, it is recommended that apparel manufacturers should be more conscious about using appropriate thread types in the construction of apparels to ensure the quality full apparel products.

his study investigates and demonstrates the application of computer simulation for the design of a manufacturing process for t-shirt production in a virtual-reality environment. The focal constraint against the higher productivity is the difference in individual capacity which is the mode of improper line balancing and bottle check process. This study is based on an effective layout model where to hit upon the bottleneck process through benchmark capacity and led us to use balancing process using two separate concept of manufacturing processes- modular line and traditional system both together. The research shows that this balanced layout model has increased the efficiency by 9 % and labor productivity by 6 %.

The knowledge of the role of seats and posture in everyday occupations has generated attention lately. Research has consistently found that the physical characteristics of the job of the machinist in garment production are an important risk factor for muscle pain and injury. The risks have often been linked to conditions such as chairs and awkward postures. Working chairs that are too high or too low result in awkward bodily positions that may cause pain and injuries that may reduce production rates and quality. This paper contrasts evidence on biomechanics of sitting posture and anthropometric measurements for seated workers from western sources with recent empirical evidence in Ghana so as to highlight any differences in ergonomic practices with respect to work seats. Findings from recent empirical study in Ghana revealed that the height and depth of seats of dressmakers and tailors did not meet standards as recommended in the literature. Seats were non-adjustable, had no backrest and seat pads. Our review thereby sheds new light on the effects of difficult practices on dressmakers/ tailors vocation. It is therefore suggested that trade organizations assist garment producers to improve work seats.

Strategy implementation in the garment industry requires a special kind of expertise. Formulating a strategy requires an entrepreneurial focus and emphasizes the ability to conceptualize, analyze and weigh, whereas applying strategy has a primarily managing focus. All fashion companies must, regardless of their current situation, develop a long-term strategy. There is not a single strategy that would be optimal for all companies, because each of them must determine a strategy in accordance with its objectives, capabilities, resources and market position. Strategic management in the garment industry illustrates advances in business strategy in the garment industry for current and future managers, students of textile technology and engineers.

The way clothes are produced, traded and sold today around the world reflects many of the problems capitalism poses to the working classes, with deleterious consequences on the environment as well. Global supply chains, in which non-finished goods flow back and forth around the world so that brands and retailers can increase their profits, dominate the landscape of this industry. Between 1995 and 2005, the liberalization of trade allowed garment companies to pit workers worldwide against each other. After the 2008 financial crisis, growing competition and problems in the sphere of realization forced companies to continuously expand their marketing, notably by incorporating expensive digital technologies, while on the manufacturing side, costs were squeezed to the limit. In core countries, the deregulation of labor markets through neoliberalization allowed manufacturers not only to employ low-wage labor in far-away countries, but to subcontract production to “local sweatshops,” which often employ migrants in situations of debt-peonage, forced labor, etc. in proximity to end markets, so that fast fashion retailers and brands can replenish their stores quickly and cheaply.

In imagining a different way to organise production, distribution and consumption of clothing, this paper proposes a series of strategic directions. These include, among others, planning production according to needs, producing garment as close as possible to the end markets, and progressively eliminating fashion. A militant agenda to create the political conditions to put technological developments at the service of these strategic directions is needed if we are to radically transform an industry long based upon the worst forms of workers’ exploitation.

This Asia Floor Wage Alliance (AFWA) Approaches Brief presents a step-by-step strategy for preventing gender based violence perpetrated on garment production lines. The principles and approaches that follow are rooted in ten years of organising by AFWA, including establishment of the only Asian-led alliance of trade unions and labour rights organisations, and a widespread legitimacy around a regional bargaining approach for Asian garment workers.

Garments washing is a novel process to impart worn-out look, to modify the appearance and to improve the comfort ability of the garments. Bleach wash is used to fade the color of denim in a higher degree as well as bleach wash has effect on the physical and mechanical properties of the denim also. This paper presents the impact of bleach wash and subsequent softening treatment on 100% cotton denim dyed with indigo dye. Garments were washed using a bleach concentration of 10 g/l for 30 minutes in 50oC temperature and then softened using standard recipe. The physical, mechanical and color properties were analyzed in before wash, after desizing, after bleaching and after softening. The properties that were analyzed include hand feel, tensile strength, seam strength, fabric weight, stiffness, dimensional stability and color fading. Bleach washed and softened garments exhibit a great difference in the physical, mechanical and color properties than the unwashed garments.

The paper is to identify the hazards and analysis the risks present in the garments printing and fabric storage areas. It is not possible to eliminate all hazards, so the objective is to eliminate and / or control all the possible hazards with critical and high potential and to reduce the rest of the possible hazards to the minimum reasonable risk level so as to protect workers from harm. The risk rating was depending upon the multiplication of severity and probability. The risk level has been divided in four categories low, medium, high and medium. The existing control measures and additional control measures were identified and ensure safe workforce in the garment industry.

Initially, garments serve in this paper as objects of geographical investigation which pervade classical works, generally under the concept perspective of the way of life or the man-environment relation, as well as contemporary studies about the clothing industries. In this article, however, garments are also used as a theme and as a perspective to address the constitution of spatialities at home and on the street. In other words, the language of garments is shown as tools that enable us to understand certain spatialities. In addition, it is demonstrated that the garments themselves represent a concept that defines space and time.

The study assessed the knowledge of dressmakers on darts in pattern making and garment designing. Specifically, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the knowledge of dressmakers' on darts and the application of dart principles (dart manipulation, adding fullness and contouring) in garment designing. Descriptive research design was employed for the study using 50 dress makers selected from three districts in the central region of Ghana. A semi-structured interview guide and an observation check list were the instruments used for data collection. The data collected were analysed with the help of descriptive statistics using the Predictive Analytical Software for windows version 22. The results indicated that the dressmakers studied knew what darts are and their purpose in garment design and construction, but lacked knowledge as to how to apply the principles of darts to achieve desired effects. It is recommended that the importance of darts with special reference to marking it out accurately is emphasized to dressmakers during workshops, seminars and general meetings that are organized by their association. Stakeholders in the garment industry especially those in academia could also organise workshops for garment makers to educate them on the appropriate use of darts in garment design and construction.

Darts help in shaping the fabric to fit the body and thus provide comfort to the wearer. They provide fullness to natural body curves. Darts are very rarely used for decorative purposes like providing a design line. The fitting, marking, stitching and pressing of darts should be done accurately. To create new designs for garments, it is specially used for ladies garments. It save fabric wastage and also use to remove excess fabric. Darts are needed to turn two-dimensional shapes into three-dimensional shapes and to fit clothes closely to the body.

Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) through continuous improvement by conveying the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of production. In a more basic term, more value with less work. Since lean manufacturing eliminates  many  of the problems associated with poor  production scheduling and line balancing, lean manufacturing  is  particularly appropriate  for companies  that  do  not have ERP  systems  in place or  do not have strong material requirements planning (MRP),  production scheduling, or production  allocation  systems in place.  This is particularly significant in Bangladesh, wheremany private Bangladeshi garment manufacturing companies are operating significantly below their potential capacity, or experiencing a high level of late-deliveries, due to problems with their current production scheduling and production management systems. Considering all those facts this paper provides a roadmap as well as a framework to those manufacturing companies who are really operating significantly below their potential capacity. In this work, the existing layouts  were studied  and then  layouts are proposed  to  enhance the production system and Value Stream Mapping ( VSM )  is used  as a basic lean manufacturing tool and some cellular manufacturing philosophies to find out the improved level of performance and productivity  particularly  in the garments section of  Bangladesh. At the final stage, research work is reinforced by using a simulation software ARENA to judge the sustainability of proposal.

Ready Made Garment (RMG) is among the successful production sectors along with greater contribution towards the national economic climate of Bangladesh .RMG is the main source of export for the last 28 years, and this sector employs more than 3.2 billion people in Bangladesh of whom 90% are poor and underprivileged women. This sector became important in terms of generating employment, foreign exchange earnings and its contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Regardless Employees are the key source of competitive advantage for business organization, as innovative and committed workers can make dramatic changes in business performance and sustainability (Job satisfaction is such a tool that improves the motivation and commitment of workers which consequently leads to higher growth and productivity. Without satisfied employees, no organization can achieve their business target as unhappy workers will never work for progress and prosperity. On the other hand, job dissatisfaction raises worker’s voice and creates unrest Therefore, job satisfaction is essential to enhance peace and harmony at work place as well as to ensure higher productivity. Nevertheless, job fulfillment of RMG employees in Bangladesh tend to be decreasing at the moment time because of improper function practices including insufficient income, discrimination, unhealthy work place, frequent function accidents as well as hazards. Besides which poor operating conditions as well as work methods (like abnormal pay) within the factories and deficiencies in social conformity are severe concerns within RMG field, as these result in frequent work unrest. Consequently, dissatisfied RMG employees in Bangladesh tend to be creating unrest as well as raising tone of voice in current time. Because of labor unrest, RMG industries are dropping its marketplace as unrest disturbs production features and goes by the message towards the buyers concerning employee splendor.
Unrest within RMG has effects on business revenue and prospective client. The USA has suspended Bangladesh in the (GSP) because of their unfair methods in clothes industry, that allows duty-free admittance of more than 5000 goods towards the US marketplace (Textile Message, May, 2014). Consequently, it is vital to conserve this rising industry if you take corrective action as soon as possible. This document is focusing on investigation to find causes associated with job fulfillment and recommend some recommendations to complete. This study is going to be contributed towards the literature although a lot of studies happen to be conducted about the garment employees in Bangladesh. This research is attempted to create a fruitful evaluation of employer’s sights on work dissatisfaction.

The current competitiveness of garment manufacturing industries is highly dependent on ability to improve efficiency and effectiveness of resource utilization through proper application of industrial engineering techniques such as line balancing and time study. However, very few apparel industries have comprehended industrial engineering function due to little knowledge on practical application of industrial engineering techniques. The present study aimed at balancing a trouser assembly line using the ranked positional weight technique to increase the line efficiency as well as minimize the number of workstations without violating the constraints: precedence relations, cycle time, and resource type. The empirical study was conducted at Southern Range Nyanza Limited (NYTIL) garment manufacturing facility to demonstrate the practical application of ranked positional weight line balancing technique. Results showed that ranked positional weight method is suitable only for assembly line balancing with no constraint on the resource. However, most complex garment assembly lines consist of a number of different machine types rendering ranked positional weight method practically ineffective for improving line efficiency of a complex garment assembly line. Therefore, profound line balancing using simulation-based optimization to improve the line efficiency of complex garment assembly line should be investigated.

This book provides a firm analytical base to discussions about injustice and the unequal distribution of gains from global production in the form of global monopsony capitalism. It utilizes the concept of reverse subsidies as the purchase of gendered labour and environmental services below their costs of production in garment value chains in India and other garment producing countries, such as Bangladesh and Cambodia. Environmental services, such as freshwater for garment manufacture and land for cotton production, are degraded by overuse and untreated waste disposal. The resulting higher profits from the low prices of garments are captured by global brands, using their monopsony position, with few buyers and myriad sellers, in the market. This book links the concept of reverse subsidies with those of injustice, inequality and sustainability in global production.

Apparel village ltd is one of the leading Company in Bangladesh and is going from
strength to strength since its inception. By observing the factory existing condition and
employee’s behavior to one other, their fasted and quality production and organization
structure, I was led to believe that the company is very centralized.
The factory is consisted with some well-equipped departments and these are Knitting,
Dyeing, and Garments Departments. The factory faces good competition from their
competitors which motivates them to work harder to achieve their objectives and goals.
The organization uses the multiple departmental bases and according to the management
this base is the most appropriate.
While surveying the organization We found that the factory provides comfortable working
conditions, friendly co-workers, efficient management and status and from the factory
management part, they have made ensure the world class accommodation, amenities,
services, facilities without any doubt.

The garment industry has played a pioneering role in the development of industrial sector of Bangladesh. Compliance is one of the major concerns in our garments industry. So we try to find out analytical & practical difference of compliance in our thesis. We get information in our internship training factory & collected in different study books & internet browsing. We learn from compliance about how we imposed in garments industry & how we get a better efficiency from the labor & management. A complained factory always reputed & valuable to the buyers for their product. Now-a-days many accidents happened in our garments industry. So the buyers not to Ready any order in our industry. They always say they buy our product only for complained industry. At this stage we find out how a complained industry gets better increase compliance issues.
