making any kind of garments.

Components of Project Plan

1. Project Plan No. - reflects the number of projects.

2. Date Begun- date when the construction project will start.
3. Date Finished – the exact date when the project will be completed.
4. Name of the Project – a specific description of the project.
5. Objectives- states the purpose why the project should be done. It is stated in three domains.
6. Word Study- unlocked the different terms in a project.
7. Tools and Equipment- list of tools and equipment needed in the project.
8. Materials and Supplies Needed- the itemized list of tools and supplies.
9. Design Specification- the photographic presentation of the project.
10. Procedure- chronological steps or operation involved.
11. Evaluation – process of assessing the finished project with is given criteria.
