ACKNOWLEDGMENT
First, all praises & thanks to Almighty ALLAH that I avail this opportunity for completing this
period of internship, then I pay all my respect and praises to the greatest man of universe, Holy
Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH ) for whom all this universe was created. Secondly, all the mentors
of the departments I visited during my plan were very cooperative who gave me their valuable
time, guidelines and support to understand the working and procedures of the individual
departments. And finally, Mr. Zahid Shabir (CEO, KALASH) & Ms. Kiran Shehzadi
(Supervisor) is the name without mentioning whom, this report would never be completed
because they guided me throughout all the tenure before visiting any department how to learn,
observe and understand the key areas of working of that specific department.
ABSTRACT
This report is based on the learning and understanding developed during the internship at Klash.
This report consists of an overview and brief description of the working of all the departments that
I observed and visited as per internship plan. This report will provide a brief but comprehensive
overview how different departments involved in the value stream are contributing towards the
accomplishment of the mission of the organization. In the last portion of this report, some areas of
improvement have been highlighted which need to be addressed and some suggestions that
(according to my understanding and knowledge) will help achieve organizational goals more
efficiently and effectively.

Working of sampling is started when merchandiser requests for sample. When a customer is
interested in new order then request to product manager for sample and he send the size chart and
comments about what a sample he want to take. Then the customer send the sample of garment
and if he want to have changes in this sample, he writes comments. All the documents of specs,
operation are prepared by the Technologists. Then these documents are sent to the sampling
department. After receiving the documents from technologists, sampling department start work
on this sample and gives it an identification number.
Forms the header of that fabric which is to be used for this sample and washing process is
applied on it to check the shrinkage behaviour.
First makes its marker according to given measurements on Lectra. Shrinkages are also added in
these measurements.
Send this marker to the pattern checking table where all measurements are checked carefully.
Then cutting is done.
After cutting, line in charge verify the threads and provides these verified threads, IE provides
the required machines for stitching.
After cutting, sewing is done. All operations of same machine are completed by the same
operator for example all operations of O/L are completed by the same operator.
When all stitching operations are completed then this garment is sent to the before wash finishing
table if required.
Quality auditor checks and measures all measurements before wash.
During the whole process the Technologists remain in touch with all.
Trim the long threads before wash to avoid the uneven shading.

Store:
The price of materials is certainly one of the biggest factors. Proper storing of substances may be
very essential to prevent losses from harm and deterioration in quality of materials. The stores
have to, consequently, be properly prepared and equipped for the dealing with of raw materials.

Training Program:
In KLASH, I worked for 6 weeks in different departments. The work, I done there and the tasks
which were assign to us by the industry are described as below:
Task: find the gross and net weight:
If weight of one bag of yarn (gross) = 47kg
Yarn weight (net) = 45.36 kg
Fabric received = 44.22kg
Task: conversion of measurements:
Millimeter= mm
Centimeter = cm
1 cm = 10mm = 0.3937in
1 inch = 2.54cm = 25mm
1 foot = 12inch
1 foot = 30cm
1 foot = 300mm
1 yard = 36inch
1 yard = 92cm
1 yard = 900mm
1 meter = 39.37inch
Terry Fabric
1. Loop back terry
2. French terry
3. Towel terry
Task: find the SL:
We can calculate the stich length by using the following steps,
Take 50 course length.
Measure the length of yarn on ruler and note in cm.
Length divided by 50.
Consumption formula (for tubular fabric) =length× width × 2 ÷ 1550 × GSM ÷ 1000
Consumption formula (for tubular fabric) =170× 60 × 2 ÷ 1550 × 180 ÷ 1000
Weight of one layer of fabric= 2.369kg
If one consists 6 pieces and then weight of one piece = 2.369kg÷ 6 = 0.394kg
Weight of one dozen pieces=0.394 × 12=4.738kg
Consumption formula (for tubular fabric) =length× width × 2 ÷ 1550 × GSM ÷ 1000
Consumption formula (for tubular fabric) =170× 60 × 2 ÷ 1550 × 180 ÷ 1000
Weight of one layer of fabric= 2.369kg
If one consists 6 pieces and then weight of one piece = 2.369kg÷ 6 = 0.394kg
Task: find out different type of trimming and list out the different trimming:
All detail of trimming is described in finishing topic.
Critical Analysis:
Critical analysis is a careful examination and evaluation of a text, image, or other work or
performance.
In KLASH, mostly work is manually and didnot use modern equipment, but we studied in
university that mostly industries use totally computerized equipment’s.
We studied that industries strictly follow the worker safety rules, but in KLASH, they didnot
follow the worker safety rules.
We studied that industry makes the garment that not are harmful for the consumer, in
KLASH, they strictly follow the needle policy rule therefore garment are not harmful for the
consumer.
In university we studied that industry work depend on quality not on quantity, but KLASH
work depends on both quality as well as on quantity.
KLASH work and follow both environmental and social rules & regulations. KLASH made
KLASH Park and school. KLASH has established ETP plan (Effluent Water Treatment
plant) for the treatment of waste effluent that came from dyeing, laundry for making things
environment friendly.

CONCLUSION:
KLASH may be a vast name in knitwear industries. It has vertical integrated setup. Many big
brands are working with KLASH. KLASH is grapping attention of many other costumers.
Company encompasses a sensible reposition capability for material and garments.
Financially, the corporate is performing arts as well. Its sales are increasing with profits are apace
growing. Day by day company is growing well and many new units and division are developed in
Apparel sector.
RECOMMENDATION:
Different training courses must be arranged for the up lifting and improving the best of work for
personnel.
There's too a stress of labor overload for the workers and it need to be manage properly so the
employees are inspired.
Marketing department rely upon existed customer, they need to find out new buyer.
KLASH manufacturing price is high due to no longer well usage of its assets they need to increase
such a system to limit their price of production.
The advertising and promotional activities need to grow in KLASH.
PERSONAL CONCLUSION
During my internship, I learned a lot about practical work and practical application of all those
things which I studied during my course work in university (till 6th semester). This time period
of internship helped me a lot to learn the working of existing system and comparing it with the
ideal system. After completion of internship, I learned that how all the different departments
perform their duties and how they are interlinked. I learned how different departments are
applying lean tools
