The document discusses marker making efficiency in apparel production. Marker making involves arranging pattern pieces in the most efficient way to minimize fabric waste. Marker efficiency is calculated as the ratio of the area or weight of fabric used for garment parts to the total area or weight of the marker. The goal is to utilize as much of the fabric as possible when cutting to reduce production costs. Efficient marker making is an important part of the apparel manufacturing process.

ASSIGNMENT
OF SPREADING AND CUTTING OF APPAREL PRODUCTION
TOPIC: EFFICIENCY OF MARKER MAKING
SUBMITTED TO: MS. MEETA GAWRI
SUBMITTED BY: MAMTA DEVI GMT 2 MARKER MAKING: Marker making is the process of finding out the most proficient arrangement of pattern pieces for a particular garment style, fabric and range of sizes. This process requires skill, time and concentration to get the maximum efficiency (Chuter 1995; Aldrich 2002 a ,b). The process of marker making can be explained in two aspects: 1. Marker planning: It is the placement of patterns in a paper to meet the technical requirements as well to minimize wastage of fabric.
2. Marker production/marker utilization:
This involves drawing of a marker plan directly on fabric or creating it on a paper marker, or copying information related to the pattern piece on the fabric without drawing any pattern lines over it as in computerized cutting. Efficiency of marker plan Marker efficiency is defined as a ratio of area of marker used in a garment and area of total. According to Glock and Kunz, Marker efficiency is determined from fabric utilization, the percentage of total fabric that is actually used in garment parts.
Marker efficiency is the most important part
of the garment manufacturing .Direct cost of the garment could be utilized by marker efficiency. It is important when marker is made it does not create an issue of fabric waste. The goal is to utilize as much of the fabric possible.
Calculation of Marker efficiency:
Calculation of marker efficiency is explained below with formula: Formula using area Marker efficiency=Area of pattern in marker plan/total area of marker plan
Area of pattern in the marker plan:
CAD system automatically calculates total area of garment patterns pieces placed in a marker. So we get the area of marker that is consumed by garments from CAD system. Total area of marker plan: Total marker area can be calculated by multiplying marker length by marker width
2. Formula using weight
Another method can be practiced to calculate the marker efficiency when we dont have CAD system or planimeter. Marker efficiency=weight of fabric consumed by pattern pieces in marker/total weight of fabric under the marker area Weight of garment parts: to calculate weight of garment parts cut one layer of fabric according to markers and weigh all garment parts that are included in the maker. Weight of maker total area: Measure weight of fabric (one layer) of the total marker area.
