Importance of Cutting room
Cutting room is an extremely important section in the
garment manufacturing process which has a major impact
on the profitability of the business. Following are the few
reasons which describe the importance of the efficient
management of the cutting room in garment
manufacturing process:
• Cutting room being the feeding point to the factory
has massive impact on all the further processes of
garment manufacturing. In mass production a large
number of garments is being cut at a time.

ensures smooth flow of work to all further processes and
can definitely lift up the utilization of the available
resources.
• Cutting room controls the utilization of fabric which is

the biggest contributor to the cost of any garment.
Excessive use of fabric caused by lake of detailed
planning together with inferior spreading and cutting
techniques can cause serious losses to the company, as
fabric cost is about 70% of total garment cost. Even small
wastage or saving of the fabric will have a huge affect on
the margins of the orders.
• Cutting being the first operation of garment
manufacturing lays the foundation of quality of the
garment to be made. Any imperfection in cutting process
can result in non-conformance of the quality standards of
all further processes.
