Special features of Rapid Sample dyeing Machine:-
- 19 samples can be dyed at the same time
- Auto time & temperature controller
- Speed controller unit
- Good steam inlet & outlet system
- Good movement of liquor
Procedure of Lap dip-
The main objectives of lab dip preparation:-
# For good dyeing.
# For good shade matching.
Lab Procedure for the 100 % cotton fabric:-
- Calculate the recipe.
- Weight the fabric.
- Take the beaker keep the fabric in to the beaker.
- Then the dyes, chemicals & required amount of water take in to the beaker by the digital pipeting.
- Then weight the salt by the electric balance and add in to the beaker.
- Then the beaker set in to the lab dyeing machine for dyeing.
- Start the program for dyeing the whole dyeing time 60 min at 60 °C temperature. (The dyeing time and temperature depends on which classes of dyes are used for dyeing.)
- After 30 min add the then add the soda ash. By pipeting.
- Again run the program next 30 min at the same temperature.
- Finished the dyeing time then the sample taken from the beaker first cold wash & then cold wash.
- Then acid wash as for neutralization.
- Then soaping required soap solution 10 min at 90° C temperature.
- After the fabric again cold.
- Then dry the lab dip and compare with the standard.

· Factory scheduling and production tracking
· Customer liaison during design, sourcing, production &
shipping.
Merchandising Procedure:
1. Contact with Buyer
· Introducing letter
· Vendor Inspection/ Evaluation
· Vendor approval
2. Order receiving process flow:
· project sheet
Competition for order!!!
· prepare costing
· price quotation
· meeting with buyer or face auction
· competition
· getting initial/optional order
3. Order development process
· Order confirmation (with qty,qly.m/c,
· sketch,del dt.

6. Final inspection
7. Pack list, weight list, Release letter
8. Ready for Export
Functions to execute export order perfectly in time
RUSH HOUR!!!
1. Fab requirement calculations
Fabric requirement = Order qty / 12 x Consumption
Consumption = Length x Chest / 10000 x GSM / 1000 x 2 x 12
2. Accessories requirement calculation
Sewing thread = Color wise order qty / 4000 (cone) x
consumption
Consumption = (3 x stitch length) + (2 x material thickness)
· Interlining requirement = Order qty / 12 x Consumption
· Shoulder Tape requirement = (Order qty x Consumption) / 36”
· Gum Tape requirement = (Order qty / Carton qty) / 6
· Stopper requirement = (Color wise order qty x No. of
stopper per Gmt x 5% allowance) / 12
· Rib = Order qty / 12 x Consumption
· Draw cord = (Order qty x Consumption) / 36”
· Main label, Sz & Cr lbl, Poly = (Order qty x 5%) / 12
· Barcode requirement = (Order qty x 10%) / 12
· Carton requirement = Total no. of pack / No. of pack per
ctn

QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM
Store Dept:
Raw material quality is the first step to ensure the quality of the product. But the raw
material purchased from the good suppliers not ensures the quality. For that solution we
need to control the quality according to the buyers’ specification we need to emphasis
to the quality of purchased raw material by the quality inspection.
For the good production flow, the company deviled sousing. Finishing trims and
accessories into different places which are obviously the good idea for maintaining or
supplying the products. Those are called-
According to the buyers’ zone-
1. EUROTEN buyers’ store
2. U.S.A buyers’ zone
In SQ Group (CML). we have visited in two different stores. The stores are-
- Fabric stores
- Trim and accessories store
Fabric Store:
It is a store where the fabric was kept up according the buyer mains and order. The main
function of this store is to inspect the fabric and send it to the cutting according to
cutting requirement. In SQ Group (CML) I found that they have followed 4 point system
for fabric inspection. The inspection sequences for fabric inspection SQ Group (CML)
are as follows:
- Collect the fabric from the suppliers.
- Prepare general defective swatch board for all fabric.
- Select the sample size randomly from the lot.
- Mark the defects.
- Inspect for the sample according to 4 point system.
- Report to the quality control personnel.
- Collect the fabric from the suppliers:
According to the purchase order sheet the store in charge receive the fabric to color,
shade and quantity.
- Prepare the general defective swatch:
Common defects that can arise during inspection are prepared earlier as swatch, which
is hanged on the wall. Those defective swatches are helped for identify the defect to
the responsible persons.
3. Sample size selection:
The sample is 10% of total lot and it is selected randomly. The points that are
considered during selections are-
1. Color
2. Quality
3. Construction
If the quality does not exceed the acceptance quality level they will go for another 10%
inspection. If it also misses the accepted quality they will go for 100% inspection.
4. Mark the defects:
Often inspectors are given the responsibility if inspecting garments without adequate
training in fabric and their causes. The ultimate solution, of course, is to provide actual
examples or photographs of both major and minor defects. The quality control manager
can provide this list to inspectors as a particular tool for achieving uniform inspector
inspection decision.
Major defects:
A defect that, it conspicuous on the finished product would cause the item to be
second. (A second is a garment with a conspicuous defect that affects the salability or
serviceability of item.)
Minor defects:
A defect that would not cause the product to be termed a second, either because
severity of location. When inspecting piece goods prior to cutting it is necessary as
major. Since the inspection will not know where the defect may occur or the items.
Equipment Uses:
- Light source:- For the inspection of the fabric fault we need sufficient light. The
sources of light are tube light.
- Top light: There is 1 tube light in perpendicular to the direction of the fabric and
another is back light.
- Machine: For inspection the need power driven fabric inspection machines
which brand name TSSM.
- Arrow sticker
- Measuring tape
Various Files in use:

the comfortable.
