assigned to maintain consistently uniform quality of the material in
process & various stages of it’s manufacturing.

Normally the objects of quality control are,

- Planned Research & Development Process.


- Judicious Selection Of Raw Materials.
- Process Control.
-

Sinha Textile Group has strong Quality Assurance Department in


every unit to ensure the best quality of production. STG follows
internal quality management system. The quality standards of STG
are ISO, OEKO TEX.

Scope of quality control, quality assurance & testing laboratory-

- Testing Laboratory.
- Machineries Auditing System.
- A Good Training System.

Soft Winding 0.2% - 0.5% Hard Waste
Pretreatment, Dyeing 3.0% - 3.5% Weight Loss
& After treatment
Hard Winding 0.5% - 1% Hard Waste

Wastage Of Warping Section:-


In the warping section wastage is mainly the left over yarns. This
amount is normally 1200mm per package that is almost 6%.

12
Wastage Of Sizing Section:-
In the sizing area wastage comes mainly from the portion of yarn
sheet that is being kept as backing after completion of sizing for
easy passing of the next beam’s yarn sheet through the sizing
machine. So, wastage comes mainly from two portion. That is
from unsized yarn sheet & sized yarn sheet.

-For Yarn dyed beam the amount of waste is approx. 20m.


-For Grey beam the amount of waste is approx. 30m.

Wastage Of Weaving Unit:-


In the weaving unit waste comes from warp yarn & weft yarn. At
first, during running of loom some portion of wastage is there due
to different fabric faults. Then after weaving some fabric is being
kept as backing, that portion is wasted. Weft yarn that goes over
filling length, that portion is cut & this amount is waste portion.
Due to friction of warp yarn with heald eye & reed some fibre
flies, that is wastage. During every weaving operation 12 yarns of
the warp length is waste. So some amount of wastage of weaving
unit is given below from practical observation.

- During running of weaving of fabric 10 m warp yarn wastage


with some portion of weft yarn.
- After completing the weaving approximately 3m-4m warp yarn
wastage that remains for backing.
- 80 mm of each weft yarn is waste that is over the filling length.
- Except these 0.2% other wastage are involved as fly and as hard
waste during every filling stop.

13
Wastage Of Processing Unit:-
In the processing unit the amount of waste is given depending on
the liquid waste that means water & chemical wastage. The
amount of waste is given here for certain length of fabric
processing & this amount is very high because there is no recovery
system is available.

Comments:-
From the above information we see that the amount of wastage
varies from section to section. We must should develop the
accuracy of different process to reduce the amount of wastage. In
case of processing we should introduce a system that may help to
recover few portion of water & chemical so that the amount of this
huge percentage of waste can be minimized.

14
INSPECTION OF FABRIC BY 4 POINT SYSTEM:-

Fabric Inspection:-

The inspection of fabric is a procedure by which the defects of


fabric are identified and fabric is classified according to degree or

SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION:-


18
Environmental pollution control:-

SDFL is still an example to the industries in the country of a


conscientious and civil and socially responsible manufacturer.
Their commitment to improve the environment to provide their
workers with a health and friendly workspace and their neighbors
with a pollution free clean area continues to be strong as ever. All
their chemically contaminated water is treated, neutralized, cleared
and given to neighboring farmers. They provide Ecotex label to
their customer which is proof of Azo free dyes and are accepted as
a very environment friendly production unit.

Health, Safety and hygiene awareness:-

SDFL believes that all employees are to work in a safe, healthy


and hygienic work atmosphere. In each and every unit, First Aid
and Hygiene team along with appropriate training to care for its
people. In all our industrial units we have both male and female
physicians with necessary aid and medical facilities.
In order to increase the awareness level of the employees the
management also takes great initiative to take part in ergonomics
area such as child care, Family Planning, Pure drinking water,
Arsenic, Diarrhea. This has been practiced in order to aware them
and their families.

Internship Program:-

SDFL offers a very promising internship program to post graduate


and under graduate students across Bangladesh and spends huge
amount of money and time on them. Every year SDFL gives
opportunity to a large number of internees. All the renowned
educational institution in Bangladesh highly prefer their students to

opportunity for employment in our country. Here in SDFL people
have the opportunity of intensively learning about worldwide
textile technology.

The management spends a substantial amount of fund on its people


by sending them abroad for further development and improvement
thus creating a very competent and knowledgeable work for the
company as well as for the nation.

20
ABOUT RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT:-

21
The word “Research” is closely related with the way of wearisome
to invent something or giving a new technique as solution of any
requirement. On the other hand “Development” stands for the
physical appearance of any researched or planned agenda. For this
reason the globe of “Research & Development” is based on both
speculative job as well as convenient. In the textile sector
department of “Research & Development” i.e. R&D is very much
essential. Specifically for an industry which is running with an
complete industrial park. When an industry can stand up with all
the projects like spinning, yarn dyeing, weaving & processing
together in a region, then it is very much logical to construct a
department like R&D.

Research & Development department mainly works for


development, most of the time. Very few time the works of
research is being done whenever it is requisite. In the big woven
composite factories this department is subjected as “ Gate Of
Order” of the products. This title is not a fiction, R&D department
means it beyond doubt. This department has it’s own way to ensue
the regular production of an industry. As a department it is
diminutive but it’s effect is prominent all over in an industry.

In the vicinity of Sinha Textile Group, R&D department is playing


as a imperative role which helps the industry to run it’s yearly
production effortlessly on the decisive way of business & trade of
world.

During my industrial training stage, I have tried my level best to


comprehend all the works & also the way of implementation those
works of the research & development department. The information
related to this department & it’s job are discussed critically
towards the end.

DETAILS OF R&D WORK:-


28
Previously the basic flow chart of R&D had been discussed. Now
this is the time to describe every steps broadly, those are critically
followed during the development period of sample in the Research
& Development department.

Getting Swatch From Buyer For Duplication:-

The work of research & development section starts by getting


order letter & swatch or CAD from buyer for duplication. The
order letter comes through marketing section after getting the
signature of the Director(technical). Following the order letter &
swatch or CAD the next step is decided. Normally when a fabric
order comes then all the necessary instructions that is required, are
being given by buyers.

Analysis:-

Normally after getting the swatch, the work of analysis is being


done. The fabric analysis mainly includes following works-

- Ends per inch measurement.


- Picks per inch measurement.
- Warp count measurement
- Weft count measurement.
- Weight of fabric measurement.
- Design, Lifting plan & Drafting plan measurement in
case of designed fabric.
- Pattern making by analysis of the standard in case of
yarn dyed fabric.
- Yarn cones, Cone length, Amount of yarn
measurement in total as well as of each colour.
- Reed count, Reed space measurement.
- Total ends measurement according to fabric width.
- Colour matching after dyeing with standard.
- Pattern matching at the starting of weaving of fabric.
29
Planning For Sampling:-

After completion of analysis it is necessary to develop a plan for


sampling. In the R&D section the development work starts
normally with desk loom or handloom sample. In the section there
is one desk loom available which is operated by an weaver. On the
other hand one handloom is available which is operated manually
in total. To develop a desk loom or handloom sample it is required
to make an accurate pattern of fabric. Normally yarn dyed fabrics
are developed regularly in the desk loom or handloom. So at first,
planning for sampling may start with desk loom. After producing a
handloom swatch from the analyzed information, that swatch is
being submitted to the related buyers through merchandises for
pattern & colour approval. If buyer approves then R&D makes the
program to develop 150m fabric at first then 650 m fabric for LF &
CS sample. This is for normal yarn dyed development. For solid
dyed fabric the planning for development mainly depends on the
quantity requirement of buyer. For both cases, first of all papers
are being made from analysis data & then the programs for yarn
requisition from SRSL, for yarn dyeing (in case of yarn dyed
fabric),for warping & sizing, for weaving & finally for processing
are supplied to complete the work.

Yarn Ordering:-

After planning of sample it is necessary to order the required


amount of yarn for development of the sample. From analysis we
can measure the total amount of yarn that is required for a
development. That much amount of yarn have to take from Sinha
Rotor Spinning Limited. So, in the yarn requisition paper of R&D
every information related to yarn order like name of buyer, fabric
construction, the count of yarn, amount of yarn, type of yarn etc
have to write & send the paper taking the signature of production
officer & manager to SRSL. In that paper we have to inform also
in which section the grey yarn shall be provided. In this way we
30
can order the yarn for a particular development. In the R&D
section we maintain a record book where we keep the reference
number for a particular yarn order. In future when we need that
yarn again, we just follow the reference number & give that
number to store or SRSL to get the yarn.

Yarn Dyeing & Random Program:-

This step comes in case of producing yarn dyed fabric. The ordered
yarn directly goes to the yarn dyeing section for dyeing purpose.
R&D section informs the yarn dyeing section all the necessary
information related to yarn dyeing like the shade of colours, the
quantity of each colour to be dyed, warp way colours & weft way
colours, number of cones of each colour for random program as
well as the cone length. Following these instructions yarn dyeing
& random program is being done. When the yarn dyeing section
receives the order of R&D section then they make a time & action
plan(TAP) & send this to R&D. Following that plan we get
informed when we can receive the dyed & random yarn from yarn
dyeing section.

Warping:-

The purpose of warping is to arrange a convenient number of warp


yarns so that they can be collected on a single warper’s beam.
There are two types of warping. These are-

- Beam Warping Or Direct Warping.


- Sectional Warping.

Now for the solid dyed fabric after yarn ordering when we receive
the required quantity of yarn then the next step is direct warping.
On the other hand for the yarn dyed fabric after completion of
dyeing & random of yarn we have to do the sectional warping or
beam warping(less than 15% coloured yarn of total).

31
So we can say that the beam warping or the direct warping is used
for long runs of grey fabrics & simple patterns where the amount
of coloured yarn involved is less than about 15% of the total.
On the other hand sectional warping is used for short runs,
especially of fancy patterned where the amount of coloured yarn is
more than about 15% of the total.

Now we have to know how the grey yarn or dyed yarn will run for
warping. During the analysis & planning for sampling period we
make a paper that is supplied taking the approval of manager &
GM to warping & sizing section as well as to the weaving section.
There the pattern is given & following the pattern the warping
people carry the warping process. Here we have maximum creel
capacity of 560 for sectional warping & 640 for direct warping.
In case of direct warping R&D section informs the cone length,
no. of beams according to the fabric requirement which have to be
produced, through a paper.
It takes 3-4 hours to complete warping for a sample. So after
completion of warping we are getting the warper’s beam which is
ready for sizing now.

Sizing:-

The process of application of size solution to yarns by immersion


into the solution & squeezing, which is followed by drying to make
the warp yarn more suitable for wearing is known as sizing.
The primary purpose of warp sizing is to produce a warp, which
will suffer the least damage in wearing. In some cases it is also
used to modify the characters of the yarn so as have as effect on
the fabric weight, hand feel. But sizing is mainly done to make the
warp yarn stronger, smooth & better lubricated.
In the steps of producing the sample fabric the sizing is a vital step,
which is done after producing the warper’s beam. In the sizing unit
of Sinha Textile Group the chemicals used for sizing are here,

-Finnfix 30(For Finer Yarn Count Like Above 26’s)


32
-Finnfix 150(For Coarser Yarn Count Like 8’s-24’s)
-Finnfix 700(For Coarser Yarn Count Like 8’s-24’s)
-Trifix (Wax)

Normal recipe for sizing of coarser yarn count is-


-Water--- 500 Litres
-Finnfix 700--- 20 Kg
-Finnfix 150--- 13 Kg
-Trifix (Wax)--- 02 Kg
-Chemical Coating Time--- 25 min.
-Sizing Time--- 02 hours(For 5000m Length at 35-40m/min speed)

In this way sizing of the warp yarn is done & finally we are getting
the weaver’s beam of the ordered sample.

Weaving:-

After getting the sized weaver’s beam at first that beam is being
received by the weaving unit. Then firstly drawing-in or Knotting
is done following the pattern made by R&D section. After
completing the drawing-in then denting is done. Finally according
to the design weaving of the fabric starts. For weaving the required
weft yarn is being supplied by store(in case of grey fabric) or by
the yarn dyeing unit(in case of yarn dyed fabric). In STG there are
two types of loom available. One is Rapier & the other I Air Jet
loom. So in both type of loom it is possible to produce the fabric.
In this way after few days we get the required amount of fabric in
grey condition from weaving unit.
Processing & Finishing:-

Processing actually stands for wet processing of the grey fabric


that makes the fabric suitable for use. Processing of the grey fabric
involves the steps like singeing, desizing, scouring, bleaching,
mercerizing, dyeing (in case of demand of coloured fabric) or
printing (in case of demand of printed fabric) & finally finishing.

33
Singeing of grey cloth or yarn is performed to remove all
protruding fibers imparting external appearance of ready articles
and impeding further treatment. Almost all fabrics are singed
except for those that are subjected to napping, pile fabrics, gauze
and terry fabrics.

Desizing is the process by which sizing material is removed from


the surface of the fabric. These sizing materials are starch,
polyvinyl alcohol, carboxy methyl cellulose, polyamides, poly-
acrylates etc.

The example of using singeing and desizing or singeing/desizing is


as follows:

 All cotton color fabric (singeing and desizing)


 All cotton color peach finish (desizing only)
 Yarn dyed fabric and PC/CVC fabric (singeing and desizing)
 PC/CVC/yarn dyed peach finish fabric (desizing only)

The main purpose of scouring textile material is to remove natural


as well as added impurities of essentially hydrophobic character as
completely as possible and leave the material in a highly
absorptive condition without undergoing chemical or physical
damage significantly and also to make the goods suitable for
removing the natural coloring matter of the cotton during the
subsequent bleaching process.
In the bleaching process the colored material is destroyed and thus
to confer a pure white appearance to the fabric. Bleaching should
also decolorize or remove any residual impurities left by scouring.

Mercerizing is the process that increases the tensile strength,


dimensional stability & luster of the fabric that initiates to further
increase in the dye affinity of fibre.

The dyeing of textiles is usually understood to mean giving them a


color, which is of comparative performance. This implies it should
34
not be possible to wash the color out easily in laundering, nor
should it fade rapidly when exposed to light. The condition of
performance distinguishes dyeing from tinting (When the material
is given a color which is very easily removed with a detergent and
water). Yarns are tinted occasionally so that different counts and
quantities can be identified during weaving or knitting or any
operation, which precedes dyeing.

Printing can be considered as a technique of localized dyeing


where in the coloring material is applied only to restricted areas.
The main objective in textile printing is the production of attractive
designs with well defined boundaries made by the artistic
arrangement of a motif or motifs in one or more colors.

Bleached dyed and printed fabrics are subjected to certain


processes known as finishing processes in order to alter their
appearance, feel and sale value before sending them to the market
for sale. Depending to the end use of the materials, various
finishing processes are carried out. These may be mechanical or
chemical processes and effects produced may be temporary, semi
permanent or permanent. They may involve mechanical deposition
or chemical reaction with the fabric substance or both.

So, we can see that each & every steps of processing are equally
important for grey goods to be a finished product that can be used
by people. In case of grey goods that will be solid dyed further,
must be subjected to all the processes described above. In case of
yarn dyed grey fabric the processes that have to be followed are
singeing & desizing, washing & finally finishing in the stenter
machine & in the sanforise machine.

In this way we can complete the processing of the fabric within


few hours.

35
Testing:-

Testing of the finished fabric is done mainly to identify the final


performance of the fabric. This is also done to clarify that either
the fabric is ready to fulfill the demand of the buyer or not. The
testing of the finished fabric is carried out in the laboratory of
Sinha Dyeing & Finishing Limited. Some very useful tests are
done in the laboratory. These are like-

- Testing Of Stretch, Growth & Recovery.


- Shrinkage.
- Tensile Strength.
- Tearing Strength.
- Colour Fastness To Wash.
- Colour Fastness To Light.
- Colour Fastness To Rubbing.
- Shade Sorting.
- Listing & Tailing Of Dyed Fabric etc.

Many other tests are done in case of requirement of buyers but


these are the common tests that are done in all the cases.

Send The Fabric To Buyer For Approval:-

After testing if we see that the fabric’s performance is appropriate,


then we send the fabric for buyer’s approval through merchandiser.
Rejection Or Approve For Bulk Production:-

If buyer see that the produced fabrics are satisfying their demand
then they may approve it. On the other hand if we cant satisfy them
the order will be rejected. But in most of the cases R&D satisfies
the buyers need & carry on the bulk production.

In this way R&D department regularly doing their task to get the
bulk order in every season & satisfy the buyer. To do the work all
these steps comes in the way of research & development
36
REQUIRED FORMULAS FOR R&D WORK:-
During the work of Research & Development we have to do lot of
calculations in every steps. There are some formulas, which we
followed to do the calculations. These formulas are given below-

Normally when buyers send CAD then they give the construction
& weave of the fabric. Otherwise in case of their supplied fabric
swatch, we have to identify the construction & weave. The
calculation that I am representing is based on CAD.

Formula to calculate the coloured yarns in warp direction

Length in scale of that coloured portion(cm)


No. of colored yarn = * EPI
25.4

Formula to calculate the coloured yarns in weft direction

Length in scale of that coloured portion(cm)


No. of coloured yarn = * PPI
25.4

Formula to calculate the total ends of fabric

Total Ends = EPI * Required width of fabric.

Formula to calculate the no. of section for sectional warping

Total no. of section = Total Ends/ Total no. of cone of warp yarn

Formula to calculate the cone length

Cone length = Required warp length * Total no. of section.

Formula to calculate the reed count


37
STG followed Reed count in stock port system,

EPI* 0.9(Considering10% Shrinkage)


Reed count = *2
Ends per dent

Formula to calculate the reed space

Reed space = Total Ends / EPI*0.9(considering 10% shrinkage)

Formula to calculate no. of cones in case of direct warping

No. of cones = Total Ends / No. of warper’s beam

Formula to calculate cone length in case of direct warping

Cone length = No. of warper’s beam * Warp length

Formula to calculate quantity of yarn for yarn dyed fabric


For warp yarn,
No. of cones of the colour * Cone Length * .5905
Yarn quantity for specific colour=
(Kg) Count of yarn * 1000
For weft yarn,

Yarn quantity for specific colour = Quantity of warp yarn * 60%

Formula to calculate quantity of yarn for solid dyed fabric

EPI or PPI * Warp Length * Fabric Width * .5905


Yarn quantity(Kg) =
Count of yarn * 100

38
REQUIRED FORMATS FOR R&D WORKS:-
Research & Development department’s work is related with all the
sections of textile sector like spinning, weaving, yarn dyeing, wet
processing. So with these sections all the required communication
must be maintained with formats. The formats those are required
for R&D department are –

-Format of requesting for grey yarn from SRSL.


-Format for yarn dyed product development.
-Format for solid dyed product development.
-Format for requesting for yarn dyeing & random.
-Format for processing unit as program sheet.
-Format for requesting for lab test/lab treat.

In these formats every required information related to product


development are placed & approved by the manager & general
manager before sending the format to different unit. Then the top-
level management persons of different units as are receiving the
format as document of R&D & follow the information that is given
through the format.

Now the formats that are the most important part of R&D work are
given in the following page.

MY ACHIEVEMENT:-

60
 I got the general information of such a large factory that gives me
the clear idea about the requirements of a composite industry setup
with all necessary manpower & machineries.

 I have earned some knowledge about the quality management


system of different sections of the industry.

 I have identified the process sequence of different units that gives


me the better idea about running of a program.

 I got the information related to amount of wastage of different


unit that will help me to calculate the benefit & loss of any project
that can be run.

 I have developed my knowledge in a very important sector like


research & development that will help me to enrich my working
experience in all area of textile in spite of a specific machine or
section.

 Different types of fabric of diverse design & construction are


being analyzed by me that given me much better idea about
manufacturing of individual types of clothing.

 Communication with different buyers & merchandiser helped me


to develop my personal skills & self-confidence.

 I have harmonized myself with the industrial environment, work


& administration that will help me to do job in any industry.

 Furthermore I achieved some practical knowledge about every


steps related to production of a woven fabric that will facilitate me
to develop my experience more in this field.

CONCLUSION:-

61
For every person who is fresher in the field of textile, industrial
training works like learning route. This course given me the
opportunity to move liberally in every section of the industry to
learn the industrial work & follow the process sequence virtually.
From my two months observation of the industry along with
research & development section specially, I can say that in the
weaving sector this industry has very strong possibility because the
industry is running with all modern machineries & very
knowledgeable persons are working all the time with their
maximum oomph. I just think the capacity of the industry should
be developed with the amount of order the industry is being taking.

In the production floor the commanding power of the officers,


compliance, administration rules everything are appealing. I hope
that this industrial training will help me a lot to work in the future
period wherever I want to develop my career. Finally wishing the
best prospect of both the industry & myself I want to conclude.

Thank you.
