Loops:It is a basic unit by which fabric produced & meshed at its base with previous one.
Stitch: The smallest dimensionally stable unit of all knitted fabrics is the stitch. It consists of a yarn loop which is held together by being intermeshed with another stitch or other loops.
Stitch length: Stitch length is the length of yarn which includes the needle loop & half the sinker loop on either side of it. Generally the larger the stitch length, the more extensible & lighter the fabric & poorer the cover, opacity & brushing strength.

BASIC KNITTING ELEMENTS 1. Needle. 2. Sinker. 3. Cam. FUNCTION OF NEEDLES: Needle is raised to clear the old loop from the hook & to receive the new loop above it on the needle steam. In general there are three types of needles 1. Bearded needle.
2. Latch needle.
3. Compound needle.
FUNCTION OF CAM
1. To produce motion of needles. 2. To drive the needles. 3. Formation of loops.
Page 35
FUNCTION OF SINKER
It may one or more of the following functions dependent upon the machines knitting action & consequent sinker shape & movement.
Feeder: A unite which guides a yarn to the needles . The number of feeder is equal to the number of cam in the machine.
Tensioning device: Tensioning device is used to give proper tension to the yarn. VDQ pulley: VDQ pulley is used to control the G.S.M by controlling the stitch length by feeding.

Hole in fabric Major Causes: High Yarn Tension Yarn Overfeed or Underfeed High Fabric Take Down Tension Defects like Slubs, Neps, Knots etc. Incorrect gap between the Dial & Cylinder rings. Remedies: 1. Ensure uniform yarn tension on all the feeders with a Tension Meter. 2. Rate of yarn feed should be strictly regulated as per the required Stitch Length. 3. The fabric tube should be just like a fully inflated balloon, not too tight or too slack. 4. The yarn being used should have no imperfections like; Slubs, Neps & big knots etc 5. The gap between the Cylinder & the Dial should be correctly adjusted as per the knitted loop size. Barrie Definition: Barriness defect appears in the Knitted fabric in the form of horizontal stripes of uniform or variable width.
Causes: High Yarn Tension Count Variation Industrial Attachment On FAKIR APPARELS LIMITED Page 41
Remedies: Ensure uniform Yarn Tension on all the feeders. The average Count variation in the lot should not be more than + 0.3 Ensure that the yarn being used for Knitting is of the same Lot. Ensure that the hardness of all the yarn packages is uniform using a hardness tester. Streakiness Definition: Streaks in the Knitted fabrics appear as; irregularly spaced & sized, thin horizontal lines.
Causes: Faulty winding of the yarn packages. Yarn running out of the belt on the Pulley Remedies:
Winding of the yarn package should be proper. The yarn should be running between the belt and around the pulley.
Imperfections Definition: Imperfections appear on the fabric surface in the form of unevenly placed or randomly appearing Knots, Slubs & Neps, Thick & Thin places in the yarn.
Causes: Big Knots, Slubs & Neps in the yarn, Thick & Thin yarn. Remedies: Specify the quality parameters of the yarns to be used for production to the yarn supplier. Industrial Attachment On FAKIR APPARELS LIMITED Page 42
Snarls Definition: Snarls appear on the fabric surface in the form of big loops of yarn getting twisted due to the high twist in the yarn. Causes: High twist in the yarn. Remedies: Twist in the yarn should be in required TPM. Contaminations Definition: Contaminations appear in the form of foreign matter such as; dyed fibers, husk, dead fibers etc. in the staple spun yarn or embedded in the knitted fabric structure.
Causes: Presence of dead fibers & other foreign materials, such as; dyed fibers, husk & synthetic fibers etc. Dyed & other types of fibers flying from the adjacent Knitting machines cling to the yarn being used for knitting & get embedded in the Grey Fabric. Remedies: Use rich fiber mixing for the yarns to be used for Knitting in order to have less dead fibers appearing in the fabric. Rigid control measures in the Blow Room to prevent the mixing of foreign matters in the Cotton mixing. Segregate the Spinning & Knitting Machines, with Plastic Curtains or Mosquito Nets, to prevent the fibers flying from the neighboring machines, from getting embedded in the yarn / fabric.
Spirality Definition: Spirality appears in the form of a twisted garment after washing.The seams on both the sides of the garment displace from their position & appear on the front & back of the garment.
Page 43
Causes: High T.P.I. of the Hosiery Yarn Uneven Fabric tension on the Knitting machine. Unequal rate of Fabric feed on the Stenter, Calendar & Compactor machines.
Remedies: Use the Hosiery yarns of the recommended TPM level for Knitting. Ensure uniform rate of feed of the dyed fabric on both the edges while feeding the fabric to the Calendar, Compactor or Stenter machines. Needle Lines Definition: Needle lines are prominent vertical lines along the length of the fabric which are easily visible in the grey as well as finished fabric.
Causes: Bent Latches, Needle Hooks & Needle stems Wrong Needle selection (Wrong sequence of needles, put in the Cylinder or Dial) Remedies: Inspect the grey fabric on the knitting machine for any Needle lines. Check the Needle filling sequence in the Cylinder / Dial grooves (tricks).
Page 44
Horizontal lines Causes: Fault in bobbin Irregular tension on cams. Remedies: Replace that bobbin. Check cams positioning
Broken Needles/ Laddering Definition: Defects caused by the broken needles show prominently as vertical lines parallel to the Wales. There are no loops formed in the Wale which has a broken needle.
Laddering effects Causes: High Yarn Tension Bad Setting of the Yarn Feeders Old & Worn out Needle set Cylinder Grooves are too tight restricting needle movement Breakage of hook or butt in needle.
Page 45
Remedies:
Ensure uniform & the right Yarn tension on all the feeders. Keep the recommended gap between the Yarn Feeders & the Needles. Periodically change the complete set of needles. Remove fly or blockage from groove. Replace defective needle.
Sinker Lines Definitions: Sinker lines are prominent or feeble vertical lines appearing parallel to the Wales along the length of the knitted fabric tube.
Causes: Bent or Worn out Sinkers Sinkers being tight in the Sinker Ring grooves Remedies: Replace all the worn out or bent sinkers causing Sinker lines in the fabric. Sinker lines are very fine & feeble vertical lines appearing in the fabric. Remove the fibers clogging the Sinker tricks (Groove Oil Lines Definitions: Oil lines are prominent vertical lines which appear along the length of the knitted fabric tube. The lines become permanent if the needle oil used is not washable & gets baked due to the heat during the finishing of the fabric. Causes: Fibers & fluff accumulated in the needle tricks which remain soaked with oil. Excessive oiling of the needle beds. Remedies: Fibers accumulated in the needle tricks cause the oil to seep into the Fabric. Some lubricating oils are not washable & can not be removed during Scouring. Remove all the Needles & the Sinkers of the machine periodically. Industrial Attachment On FAKIR APPARELS LIMITED Page 46
Clean the grooves of the Cylinder & Dial of the machine thoroughly with petrol. Blow the grooves of the Cylinder Dial & Sinker ring with dry air after cleaning.
Broken Ends Definition: Broken ends appear as equidistant prominent horizontal lines along the width of the fabric tube when a yarn breaks or is exhausted.
Causes:
Remedies:
Ensure correct yarn tension on all the feeders. Ensure that the Yarn detectors on all the feeders are working properly. Depute a skilled & alert machine operator on the knitting machine.
Fabric Press Off Definition: Fabric press off appears as a big or small hole in the fabric caused due to the interruption of the loop forming process as a result of the yarn breakage or closed needle hooks. Press off takes place, when the yarn feeding to both the short butt & long butt needles suddenly stops due to the yarn breakage. At times complete fabric tube can fall off the needles if the needle detectors are not functioning or are not properly set. Causes: End breakage on feeders with all needles knitting. Yarn feeder remaining in lifted up position due to which the yarn doesnt get fed in the hooks of the needles. Remedies: Needle detectors, should be set precisely to detect the closed needles & prevent the fabric tube from completely pressing off. Proper yarn tension should be maintained on all the feeders.

BATCHING OR BATCH
According to TextileGlossary.com A group of units of products of the same type, structure, color and finish, class and composition, manufactured under essentially the same conditions and essentially at the same time, and submitted at any one time for inspection and testing. Types of Batching: 1. Solid batch 2. Assort batch
Page 49
Batch management
Primarily batching is done by dyeing manager taking the above criteria under consideration. Batch section in charge receives this primary batch plan from dyeing manager. Sometime planning is adjusted according to Machine condition or emergency. Machine used in the batching: 1. Back sewing Machine: Used to form tube fabric form from open fabric. 2. Reverse sewing Machine: Used only for single jersey fabric to replace the back part with front part in dyeing of critical shade.
Batch calculation ratio: No. of Batch= Calculation for Rope Length: Rope Length (L) = m.

COLOR LAB
Color is the pre stage of dyeing procedure. In color lab recipe is prepared for specific fabric to achieve desired shade or color according to the buyer. SEQUENCE OF LAB OPERATIONS
A number of operations are done in lab section. This are-
Swatch receives (physical std. Or reflectance value) Fabric & dye selection
Recipe prediction
Dyeing
Dispatch
Fabric is always recommended by buyer & dyes selection depends upon the technician decision. 1. Swatch receives: Swatch is received from the buyer & it comes to the lab section through the merchandiser. 2. Fabric & dye selection: According to the buyer swatch , the type of fabric is selected & the dye selection depends on the following factor: a. b. c. d. The dye stuff contains Metamerism or not. The dye stuff is suitable for producing particular color. Sometimes buyers recommended the dye to produce particular color. The cost of dye stuff.
3. Recipe prediction: Recipe is determined by matching with reference book or Spectrophotometer. a. By the spectrometer the std. of the swatch is saved in computer. Industrial Attachment On FAKIR APPARELS LIMITED Page 52
b. Then by data color software after selecting the dye some recipes are found with the best suitable recipe comes first & then others. c. If the recipe shows Metamerism then changes the selected dye. 4. Sampling & pipetting: According to the recipe, the required fabric, dyes & chemicals are weighted & stock solutions are made. Then pipe ting is done according to the recipe. Stock solutions are made according to the recipe%. Such asFor Dye a. If recipe % (0.0001- <0.001) then stock solution % (0.01%) b. If recipe% (0.001- <0.1) then stock solution % (0.1%) c. If recipe % (0.1-0.8) then stock solution% (0.5%) d. If recipe% (0.9-4.9) the stock solution% (2.5%) e. If recipe % (5) then stock solution % (5%)
For Auxiliaries: Salt 20% stock solution; Acetic Acid: 0.5 g/l; Leveling agent: 3.5 g/l;
Pipette use in lab section: 0.1 ml 1 ml & 5 ml to 20 ml. 5. Dyeing: After completing pipe ting according to the recipe, the weighted fabric is taken in sample dyeing Machine beaker & dyeing is completed. Here sample wt. 10gm & liquor ratio 1:8. 6. Dispatch: After completing dyeing, the samples are checked by spectrophotometer or by eye vision in verified matching cabinet. If it shows Metamerism then recipe correction is done & again samples are prepared until no Metamerism & shade match occur. Then in a lab dip card 3 samples are attached. One card is sent to merchandiser & another to buyer through merchandiser. If the buyer chooses the sample then the recipe is send to the dyeing section for bulk production through lab dip program card.
SPECTROPHOTOMETER
The main function of spectrophotometer is to provide the best suitable recipe to dye sample comparing with corresponding standard. If the first recipe fails to fulfill the expectation then it corrects the recipe.
Necessity:
a. Color matching is hard task so it makes the task easier. b. It saves our times which provide assistance on production process. c. It works upon some proved theory so the answer is approximately correct.
Page 53
THEORY
Spectrophotometer is based upon Kubelka-mank theory which builds up a relation between reflectance & concentration. The Kubelka-mank values (k/S) is calculated from the reflectance value of standard by the following equation
Components
1. Computer, 2. Spectroflash, 3. CIE lab software.
WORKING PROCEDURE:
1. Calibration: The Machine is calibrated for different aperture view with three different calibration standard, they are a. Black b. Green. c. White. Two types of view are mostly used. They are Small aperture view (aperture is 9 mm in dia.) Large aperture view (aperture is 30mm in dia.) Valid time The valid time for work can be varied according to the users. It can be set for 2, 6, and 8 hours or more. 27 2. Data input: Self shades of particular company are prepared with various percentage in the lab & the reflectance value of each sample is scanned in spectrophotometer. 3. Reflectance value measurement of swatch: Buyer provides either color or certain pantone number. This is set on to the spectroflash & the Machine will automatically calculate the reflectance value & saved it in memory. 4. Recipe giving: Considering all parameters we have to select suitable dyes & the Machine will show some possible recipes. The factor affects dye selection much is Metamerism. 5. Compare: After preparing the sample, the reflectance value of the samples are compared with std. one, depending upon L* a* b* values the computer will show the dE value which represents the total color difference between the sample & the std. If dE > 1 the color does not match. If dE 1 then color match. 6. Recipe correction: Depending upon the reflectance value & dE value the computer corrects the recipe until acceptable dE value & color matching are not obtained.
Page 54
VERIVIED CABINET
It is the cabinet where dyed or OBA applied samples are checked under different light sources either they show Metamerism or match with the swatch. Light sources: a. D65, 2. TL84, 3. F, 4. UV. Color temp: The temp. at which when a perfect at black body is heated then it emitted that type of light energy of specific wave length. Theory of color: Pigment theory: According to this theory primary colors are Red, Blue, & Yellow & secondary colors are Violet or purple, Orange & Green. When these three colors are in equal amount we get black color. Black is called It is presence of color absence of light Yellow
Green
Orange
TERTIARY COMBINATION:
Orange + Violet = Burgundy. Violet + Green = Grey. Green + Orange = Brown.
Page 55
CIE Lab theory: In 1976 recommended the CIE lab system White (L*=100) Green (a*-) Yellow (b* +)
Red (a*+)
There are three parameters calculated are L*, a*,b*. L* is a vertical scale express lightness or darkness & Black L*= 0 & white L* =100. a* vertical scale on L* means Red or Green. If a* += then it is Red & a* - =Green. b* vertical scale on a* means Blue or Yellow. If b* + = then it is yellow & b* = Blue.
The values of L*, a*, b* are calculated from the tristimulus values of the color (X, Y, Z) & each value being first divided by corresponding tristimulus values of the appropriate illuminate (Xn, Yn, Zn) . 1. L*=116 (Y/Yn)1/3 -16, 2. a* =500 ((X/Xn)1/3 (Y/Yn)1/3) 3. b*= 200((Y/Yn)1/3 (Z/Zn)1/3) Recent LCH Hue: Hue is the color of an object that we perceive. Value: value denotes the degree of lightness. Color can be classified as light or dark when we comparing the value. Example, when placing a tomato & reddish side by side in contrast the reddish has a dark red value. Chroma: The vividness or dullness of color describing its chroma. Again comparing the tomato & reddish the red of tomato is much vivid than reddish. Chroma C*ab = (a*2 +b*2)1/2 Hue =tan-1 (b*/a*).

FILTER
The filter eliminates the loose fibres in the dye bath, consequently it reduces the loose fibre loads on the fabric. Changing and cleaning the filters is sometimes forgotten, with the result that the dyeing machine's nozzle pressure decreases, with the effect that running is disturbed and tangles can occur. automatic self cleaning filter system No cleaning of filter. No pressure variation in the nozzles due to lint buildup due to automatic regulation system. No lint on fabric due to 100 % filtration of the circulation liquor.

HEAT EXCHANGER
Theory of Application Two fluids, of different starting temperatures, flow through the heat exchanger. One flows through the tubes (the tube side) and the other flows outside the tubes but inside the shell (the shell side). Heat is transferred from one fluid to the other through the tube walls, either from tube side to shell side or vice versa. The fluids can be either liquid or gases on either the shell or the tube side. In order to transfer heat efficiently, a large heat transfer area should be used, so there are many tubes. In this way, waste heat can be put to use. This is a great way to conserve energy.

Textile finishing, in a restricted sense, is the term used for a series of processes to which all bleached, dyed, printed and certain grey fabrics are subjected before they are put on the market. In fact, finishing includes the final treatment of every kind of fabric made from every kind of fiber
Objective of finishing:
Improving the appearance Luster, whiteness, etc
Improving the feel, which depends on the handle of the material and its softness suppleness fullness, etc.
,
Special properties required for particular uses water proofing, flame proofing, etc.
Covering of the faults in the original cloth. Increasing the weight of the cloth.
Types of finishing:
1) Chemical finishing: a) Chemical reaction of auxiliaries with fibers. b) Application of the handle modifying products / additives. 2) Mechanical finishing: Mechanical treatment with machines
Finishing effects:
Easy - care Crease recovery. Dimensional stability. Good abrasion resistance. Improved tear strength. Good sew ability Soft or stiff handle. Shine or luster

MERCHANDISING SECTION
INTRODUCTION OF MERCHANDISING
The Merchandising is known to the persons specially involved in garments trade. The term merchandising has been derived from the merchandise. Merchandise means buying and selling huge amounts of goods.
The term MERCHANDISING may be defined as Person who merchandises the goods, specifically for export purposes. Garments merchandising means buying raw materials & accessories, producing garments, maintaining required quality level and exporting the garments within scheduled time.
NEED OF MERCHANDISER
The position "Merchandiser" is playing a vital role in the RMG sector today. Merchandiser is the person who handles around 75% of the cost related to the garment & the production cost is only be almost about 25% of the garment. There by the role of Merchandiser in the apparel sector plays the most responsible part mainly for the financial benefit of the Company. The Merchandiser's small mistake will affect 75% of income of the order which will leads to a big disaster. This has to be understood by the Merchandisers seriously.
RESPONSIBILITY OF MERCHANDISER
Now days, major companies are adopting merchandising concepts, which comply with all procedures to execute and dispatch the shipment on time, considering quality, cost and time. Merchandisers are serious in the success of any garment retail business. They provide the right products at the right time, enabling a company to match with latest market trends and meet the market demand. In the merchandising concept, time management is a gig to manage one's time properly, so he can focus on value adding actions. Today's garment merchandisers have to move with frequent changes in demand and the developing technologies utilized in manufacturing and production. To find out customer requirements, they regularly visit retail outlets, and come up with latest updates from frontline staff. In order to keep an eye on developments in sourcing, site visits are made every week to mainland factories to meet suppliers and study production. In garment merchandising, there is no specific rule, so it's important to be able to think on one's feet.
pieces to be produced daily, substitute arrangements, time availability, supply time, scheduling critical ratio, etc. SUBMITTING PRE-PRODUCTION SAMPLES The pre-production samples should be provided on time to the concerned buyers. Quality of the sample must be verified. If required, revised samples should be made available to the buyers. Merchandiser should adjust to the required changes demanded by the buyer. The execution of bulk orders should be made only after samples are approved by the buyer. In-process inspection denote between any tasks in order-execution. In case of nonconformation, it is better to focus on the concerns of quality. Merchandisers that work on complete orders have to check deviation to the production teams so that any amendments can be done to avoid the non-conformities. SOLVING SHORTAGE PROBLEM The merchandiser should know about the dearth of any commodity such as fabric, yarn, etc. From the beginning actions should be taken immediately to arrange required materials, after discovering the shortage. It is expected that the merchandisers should verify quality of the goods prior to execution of the order. If the material is found unavailable, the superior should be informed about the concern. COMMUNICATING WITH ASSOCIATED PEOPLE AND BUYER It is essential to communicate with the buyers regarding the order. It is expected to give some time to the buyer to read the sent messages. Merchandiser should to go through the messages received from the buyer and reply on time. In many cases, merchandisers have to provide order status to the buyers. Also, merchandiser has to communicate with the people that are in-house, venders, contractors and job-workers. Only through the right communication can one meet deadline for the concerned orders. CONCLUDER REMARK ON MERCHANDISING
Apart from the above mention procedures, merchandiser has to assign subordinates to help him in the order execution, and direct the procedures. He has to revise his knowledge from time-to-time to know current market trends. To record preferences for all the planned activities, use daily or time log systems. The Merchandiser should find out exact reasons for time consumption. It is necessary to keep record of time value and keeping it safe, as it is going to be shared with concerned parties/buyers. It is certain that merchandising jobs need huge time planning.

INTRODUCTION OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated system of men, materials and equipment. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. The prime objective of industrial engineering is to increase the productivity by eliminating waste and non-value adding (unproductive) operations and improving the effective utilization of resources
ACTIVITIES OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING 1. Selection of processes and assembling methods. 2. Selection and design of tools and equipment. Design of facilities including plant location, layout of building, machine equipment. 3. Design and improvement of planning and control system for production, invent quality and plant maintenance and distribution systems. 4. Development of time standards, costing and performance standards. 5. Installation of wage incentive schemes. 6. Design and installation of value engineering and analysis system. 7. Operation research including mathematical and statistical analysis. 8. Performance evaluation. 9. Supplier selection and evaluation.
OBJECTIVES OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING 1. To establish methods for improving the operations and controlling the production costs. 2. To develop programmers for reducing costs
FUNCTIONS OF AN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER 1. Developing the simplest work methods and establishing one best way of doing the work. 2. Establishing the performance standards as per the standard methods (Standard Time). 3. To develop a sound wage and incentive schemes. 4. To aiding the development and designing of a sound inventory control, determination of economic lot size and work in process for each stage of production. 5. Development of cost reduction and cost control programmers and to establish standard costing system.
6. Sound selection of site and developing a systematic layout for the smooth flow of work without any interruptions.
TECHNIQUES OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING 1. Method study: To establish a standard method of performing a job or an operation after thorough analysis of the jobs and to establish the layout of production facilities to have a uniform flow of material without back tracking. 2. Time study (work measurement): This is a technique used to establish a standard time for a job or for an operation. 3. Motion Economy: This is used to analyses the motions employed by the operators do the work. The principles of motion economy and motion analysis are very useful in mass production or for short cycle repetitive jobs. 4. Value Analysis: It ensures that no unnecessary costs are built into the product and it tries to provide the required functions at the minimum cost. Hence, helps to enhance the worth of the product. 5. Financial and non-financial Incentives: These helps to evolve at a rational compensation for the efforts of the workers. 6. Production, Planning and Control: This includes the planning for the resources (like men, materials and machine) proper scheduling and controlling production activities to ensure the right quantity, quality of product at predetermined time and pre-established cost 7. Inventory Control: To find the economic lot size and the reorder levels for the items so that the item should be made available to the production at the right time and quantity to avoid stock out situation and with minimum capital lock-up. 8. Job Evaluation: This is a technique which is used to determine the relative worth of jobs of the organization to aid in matching jobs and personnel and to arrive at sound wage policy. 9. Material Handling Analysis: To scientifically analysis the movement of materials through various departments to eliminate unnecessary movement to enhance the efficiency of material handling. 10. Ergonomics (Human Engineering): It is concerned with study of relationship between man and his working conditions to minimize mental and physical stress. It is concerned with man-machine system.
IE JOB Profile It was just a couple of years back that demand of an industrial engineer has increased many times. Reason, an Industrial engineer can do a lot to improve performance of the company. But the fresh student passed out from educational institute (Fashion institutes) acquired limited knowledge about the job profile of an Industrial engineer. Maximum works are learnt in factory by working. There is number of tools and techniques which are used in by industrial engineers
to establish an effective production system in the company. Without having such tools earlier production managers and line supervisors faced difficulty in measuring work content, garment costing, and production planning correctly, even it was difficult to finalize orders. Our team has worked to find out important tasks those are important for an engineer, and needs detailed understanding of production fields, included in the following. Though job profile of an Industrial Engineer varies company to company, most of the job profile fall under following list. Knowledge about various sewing production systems Knowledge of all types of Sewing machine necessary for the company Time study (Cycle timing) Motion analysis of the operations Operation break down Preparation of OB (Operation bulletin) SAM Calculation M/C Layout and Work station layout Line Set up (Production estimation of a line) Work Sampling Method Study (Seeing Movements of an operation) WIP Control Line Balancing Capacity study Cost estimation of a garment Developing and Maintaining Skill Matrix Incentives schemes Calculating Thread Consumption Work aids, Guide and Attachment Performance Rating An industrial engineer must have knowledge and skill on each tool and technique. Implementation of all tools at a time is not needed. Engineer has to go step by step. Almost all work study tools and methodology are adopted from others industries and implemented to the garment industry. So each work study tool has guaranteed benefit if it is used effectively.

Work study is the systematic examination of the methods of carrying on activities so as to improve the effective use of resources and to set up standards of performance for the activities being carried out. Method Study Method study is the systematic recording and critical examination of ways of doing things in order to make improvements.
Time Study Time study is a work measurement technique for recording the times of performing a certain specific job or its elements carried out under specified conditions, and for analyzing the data so as to obtain the time necessary for an operator to carry it out at a defined rate of performance. Work Measurement Work measurement is the application of techniques designed to establish the time for a qualified worker to carry out a task at a defined rate of working. Work Sampling Work sampling is a method of finding the percentage occurrence of a certain activity by statistical sampling and random observations. Work Content The work content of a job or operation is defined as: basic time + relaxation allowance + any allowance for additional work e.g. that part of contingency allowance which represents work. Time Study Time study is a work measurement technique for recording the times of performing a certain specific job or its elements carried out under specified conditions, and for analyzing the data so as to obtain the time necessary for an operator to carry it out at a defined rate of performance. Qualified Worker A qualified worker is one who has acquired the skill, knowledge and other attributes to carry out the work in hand to satisfactory standards of quantity, quality and safety.
Element An element is a distinct part of a specified job selected for convenience of observation, measurement and analysis. Work Cycle
A work cycle is a sequence of elements which are required to perform a job or yield a unit of production. The sequence may sometimes include occasional elements. Rating Rating is the assessment of the workers rate of working relative to the observers concept of the rate corresponding to standard pace. Standard Performance Standard performance is the rate of output which qualified workers will naturally achieve without over-exertion as an average over the working day or shift, provided that they know and adhere to the specified method and provided that they are motivated to apply themselves to their work. This performance is denoted as 100 on the standard rating and performance scales. Basic Time Basic time is the time for carrying out an element of work at standard rating, i.e. (Observed time x observed rating)/ Standard rating Selected Time The selected time is the time chosen as being representative of a group of times for an element or group of elements. These times may be either observed or basic and should be denoted as selected observed or selected basic time. Relaxation Allowance Relaxation allowance is an addition to the basic time intended to provide the worker with the opportunity to recover from the physiological and psychological effects of carrying out specified work under specified conditions and to allow attention to personal needs. The amount of allowance will depend on the nature of the job. Standard Time Standard time is the total time in which a job should be completed at standard performance. Predetermined Time A predetermined time standard is a work measurement technique whereby times established for basic human motions (classified according to the nature of the motion and the conditions under which it is made) are used to build up the time for a job at a defined level of performance. Work Specifications A work specification is a document setting out the details of an operation or job, how it is to be performed, the layout of the workplace, particulars of machines, tools and appliances to be used, and the duties and responsibilities of the worker. The standard time or allowed time assigned to the job is normally included.
Productivity The definition of Productivity is given as OUTPUT compared to INPUT. According to Marsh, Brush (2002) in his article Journal of industrial technology, productivity is a measure of the efficiency and effectiveness to which organizational resources (inputs) are utilized for the creation of products and/or services (outputs).

ON LINE QUALITY CONTROL: On line quality control comprises with the new raw material, process control & finish fabric inspection. 1. Raw material control: As the quality product depends upon the raw material quality assurance department must ensure that the best quality of raw material are used in the production. a. The chemical should be with a known concentration & high degree of purity. b. The dye & chemical should be compatible with each other. c. The fabric must be without faults, with uniform absorbency, & whiteness as per requirement of the subsequent process.
2. Process control: The method chosen for the process must be provided with the necessary parameters, Temperature, PH, water level, Specific gravity should be checked at each stage of processes. a. During dyeing samples are taken, & shade match with lab dip & when match allow for bath drop. b. If not properly match topping is done until the required shade come. c. After neutralization sample is collected & match with lab dip. d. Sample is collected after fixation & matched. e. Last of all after softening sample is collected & match with lab dip. f. Each batch should be match with each other. g. During finishing temperature, speed, padder pressure, over feed should be controlled as per recommendation. h. G.S.M, width, spirality etc should be maintained as per buyer requirement. 3. Finish Fabric Inspection: To ensure that only acceptable quality fabric is used for producing garments & proper quantity of shipment is received from the supplier. POINT CALCULATION SYSTEM: Defect area 13 36 69 9 above For hole in fabric Calculation of point is done by Actual grade point = Point 1 2 3 4 4

WATER TREATMENT PLANT In Fakir Apparels Ltd they use submersible water. Natural ground water contains many impurities which has negative impact on the wet processing technology. The various salts present in the water depend on the geological formations through which the water has followed. These salts are mainly the carbonates (CO32), bi-carbonates (HCO3) chlorides (Cl) of Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+). Although Calcium & Magnesium carbonates in the limestone are relatively insoluble in water. So in this reasons, water hardness can be divided in two ways
Temporary Hardness: Ca (HCO3)2, Mg (HCO3)2 , Fe (HCO3)2 etc. Permanent Hardness: CaCl2, MgCl2, Ca (NO3)2, MgSO4, CaSO4. This water hardness causes some serious consequence in textile dyeing & finishing industries & this are 1. Precipitation of soap. 2. Redeposit ion of dirt & insoluble soaps on the fabric being washed this can cause yellowing & lead to uneven dyeing & poor handle. 3. Scale formation on equipment & in boiler pipe lines. 4. Reduction of the activity of the enzymes used in washing. 5. Incompatibility with chemicals & so on. Hardness is expressed by parts per million (ppm) of CaCO3 which is standard hardness scale & it is also called American Hardness. The hardness of raw water is 100 ppm or more. To use it in dyeing & in boiler this water must need to soft & foreign materials needs to remove. METHODS OF WATER SOFTENING: There are mainly three methods by which hardness of water is removed in Industrial scale 1. Lime-Soda process. 2. Base Exchange process (Permutit process). 3. Demineralization process. Above these three processes, Fakir Apparels Ltd used the Base Exchange Process. By the help of pump hard water is collected from the water store tank. Water treatment is done in three steps by three filter tanks. FIRST STEP: water collected by the two parallel pump is followed to the stone filter for filtration. Stone filter consists of six layers of stone of different size & shape. Stone filter helps to remove iron from the water. There is a dosing pump attach with the stone filter for the dosing of sodium hypo chloride. During stone filtration sodium hypo chloride is added to resist the deposition of iron on stone layers which might be rigid & hamper smooth operation. SECOND STEP: After completion of stone filtration water is fed to active carbon filter for second filtration for the removal of odor, oily, or gummy substances from water. THIRD STEP: At the end of the carbon filtration water is flowed to the resin filter for final filtration. Here hard water is treated with base exchange complex or zeolites to remove the hardness from water. Zeolites are naturally occurring insoluble mineral of Sodium alumina silicate type complex (Na20.Z, Z= Al2O3SiO2, H2O). When water is passed through a bed of the small particles of such material ion exchanger an ion exchange reaction take place Na20.Z + Ca (HCO3)2 CaOZ + 2NaHCO3 Na20.Z + MgSO4 MgOZ +Na2SO4. Here the base part ( Ca, Mg, Fe) of hard water are replaced by Na. result is the salt of Ca, Mg, Fe & soften the water. After a certain period of times whole sodium of base exchanger is replaced
Ca, Mg, Fe then it is said to be exhausted because it will not soften hard water anymore & then it is regenerated by NaCl. CaOZ + 2 NaCl CaCl2 + Na20.Z. Final filtration makes the water finally soft & drains it to the soft water reserve tank with the help of a drain bulb. For the supply of soft water to the floor a pressure vessel is used. A minimum pressure of (4-5 kg/cm3) is maintained in the pressure vessel for calculation. SEQUENCE OF WATER TREATMENT PLANT IS GIVEN BELOW Hard water store tank Solution of NaCl
Figure: Water treatment plant MEASUREMENT OF WATER HARDNESS: Necessary equipment & chemicals 1. Buffer soln. 2. Indicator. 3. Liquid EDTA soln. 4. Beaker. PROCEDURE: Take 50 ml water in a beaker which is treated by WTP- plant Take 4-5 drops of buffer soln in a beaker. Take 1 drop indicator in a beaker & form the violet color. Now EDTA soln is dropped until the pink color is not form a crystal color Here 1 drop EDTA soln =3 ppm.
Remarks: In industry hardness depends on the type of shade. For light, medium, & dark shades hardness remain < 5, or <9 or < 12 ppm respectively by using sequestering agent ( Ladiquiest, Neo-crystal 150F etc).

REORDER POINT: The re-order point is stated in terms of the level of inventory at which an order should be placed for maintaining the current inventory. In other words, re-order point may be defined as the level of inventory when fresh order should be placed with supplies for procuring additional inventory equal to the economic order quantity.
COST ANALYSIS
COSTING SYSTEM: Cost means the price of the product or goods which include some profit for the supplies or manufacturer or seller. Costing system mainly describe the cost of final product according to the buyer requirement by keeping some profit for the company. As it is a garments manufacturing company merchandiser give the consumption of fabric with specifications. Then how much yarn is required dyestuff & chemicals required, labors, utility services & other things related with manufacturing are calculated. After this the final cost is fixed including some profit & the unit price is offered to the buyer for their approval.
COST INCLUDES FOLLOWINGS: Yarn cost. Knitting cost. Dyes & chemicals cost. Cost of dyeing & finishing. Cost of cutting, sewing, accessories etc. Cost of printing (if required). Labor cost (direct & indirect). Factory cost. Office & administrative cost Caring cost Other cost. Profit etc.

CONCLUSION
We have completed our industrial attachment successfully by the grace of Allah. Industrial attachment sends us to the expected destiny of practical life. The completion of the two months Industrial attachment at Fakir Apparels Limited, we have got the impression that factory is one of the most modern export oriented knit composite complex in Bangladesh. Though it was established only a few years ago, it has earned very good reputations for its best performance over many other export or iented textile mills. During our training period, talking with the clients of this mill we knew that the mill is fulfilling the countrys best export oriented white finished fabric as well as very good colored fabric due to its modern machinery & good management system. Mill is settled with utility to give all convenient supports to the productions for twenty-four hours. It had self-power generator system to satisfy total power consumptions of the mill. We are enough fortunate that we have got an opportunity of having a training in this mill. During the training period we are received co-operation and association from the authority full & found all man, machines & materials on appreciable working condition. All stuffs & officers were very sincere & devoted their duties to achieve their goal. There are some suggestions from us within our limited knowledge Some Suggestions: The dyeing floor is watery most of the time: it should be cleaned all the time. To increase overall efficiency, more skilled labor should be used in a project. The machine stoppage time should be analyzed and minimized. The maintenance should be carried out when the machine is out of action (wherever possible) and routine maintenance should be carried out regularly. There should be a yarn dyeing project. Sitting arrangement of production officers should be improved The knitting section should improve and modern machinery should add.
