INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY

This implant Training is Carried out to create awareness about business practice among

the B. Com student when they are pursuing.

I have chosen AGALYA SILKS MANUFACTURING Company. Here I gathered more

knowledge about the company like working style I present all my observation and experience

in this Implant training Report. Introduction Quality refers to the ability of a product or service

to meet and even exceed the expectations of the customer in terms of product or service

efficiency, performance, durability, comfort and ease of use. However, quality has to be

consistent and there needs to be resources to support and implement all activities associated

with controlling and managing it.

In clothing manufacturing a good quality management system would be concerned

about the inputs used in the making of clothes, the skill of the workers and also having adequate

sewing machines which sew in quality threads. Quality clothing is normally rewarded by

consumers and the same is for consumers when they receive quality clothes. which is an

initiative and a body responsible for promoting local production in food, clothing, steel and

other key manufacturing sectors. While this is important for a country such as quality

management is also important.

Sewing co-operatives happen to be the local manufacturers of clothing, such as

traditional wear, school uniforms, and work-wear and special dress codes. There is a preference

for these local manufacturers, although major retailers are more reliant on Chinese and other

clothing imports which is thought to be cheap and also of acceptable quality. A challenge for

co-operatives in maintaining consistent quality in clothing manufacturing is that they lack

6
certain resources which are important to implementing and for continuous.

7
 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

To Ascertain the degree of job motivation prevailing amongst the employees.

Understand the factors determining in motivating the employees’ study about the attitude and

personal practices of various employees Ascertained the Productivity of the motivated

employees. To analysis the Employee’s satisfaction towards benefits schemes in the Company

Scope of the study.

A case study of a clothing manufacturing co-operative that had had a problem in quality

management and which had also managed to find ways to ensure implementation of quality

practices. This paper aims to identify the areas and points in a sewing process which require a

strict quality control supervision and this paper also aims to share a process chart of sewing

and to identify points for quality control in a context of an under-resourced clothing

manufacturer.

This research shall benefit any other co-operative with resource constraints and will

help co-operative or small enterprise development PR actioners to understand the areas of

quality management in an under-resourced clothing enterprise. To scope of the study is very

wide since the motivation of various employees have greater impact over the growth of the

industry. It is so finding out the opinion of respondents regarding motivational measures in the

Organization. study the benefits of motivation amongst the employees. To client suggestion

from the executive towards improving their performance on the job with a view to making a

better Organization for work.

 SCOPE OF STUDY

This review focuses on quality, the need for quality and also the process of sewing or

that of clothes manufacturing. The problem of quality can be described as the lack of

consistency in a product’s ability to meet customer expectations. Inconsistency in products or

services’ ability to meet the needs of a buyer has a potential to cost the manufacturer a future

opportunity to generate an income. Causes of quality problems in clothing manufacturing are

as a result of poor quality inputs such as fabric, labor skill and inadequate process management.

The leaders in the field of quality management, quality involves putting an effort in making it

part of an organization and being persistent about it.

 CHAPTER 2

INDUSTRIAL PROFILE

INTERNATIONAL SCENARIO:

Clothes are an epitome of a culture. People in different parts of the word have their own

styles of dressing which symbolize their culture and status. The last two centuries have seen an

upsurge in the use of manmade textiles like pure silk etc.

Especially for women. Though Ready –made garment industry caters to one of the basic

needs of human beings, it came in existence as an industry (i.e.) the manufacture of garments

using industrial methods of production) Only at the turn of the 20 th century with the

introduction of sewing machine on a commercial scale.

Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber

of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons.[1] The

best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx

mori reared in captivity (sericulture). The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-

like structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus

producing different colors.

The production of silk originated in China in the Neolithic period, although it would eventually

reach other places of the world (Yangshao culture, 4th millennium BC). Silk production remained

confined to China until the Silk Road opened at some point during the latter part of the 1st millennium

BC, though China maintained its virtual monopoly over silk production for another thousand years.

10
 A widely accepted definition of Ready made Garment Industry is contained in the

international Standard Industrial Classification of all economic activities adopted by the United

Nation included the ILO and followed by the Government of India. It indicates that “those

establishment which do not make fabrics or knitted fabrics but only cut and make garments out

of them, could be covered under the garment industry”.

Marker Planning

The amount of fabric consumed per garment and the total profit of the garment unit is

decided by the marker planning and marker making. The length and width of the marker is very

important here. Based on this marker only the spreading length will be decided. The fabric

consumptions and fabric wastages depend on this marker making. The industry has always paid

great attention to marker planning, because when the cutting room cuts cloth it spends around

half the company’s turnover. Any reduction in the amount of cloth used per garment leads to

increased profit.

Global Evolution of Clothing Industry

There were various stages-from a historical perspective –where the textile industry

evolved from being a domestic small – scale industry , to the status of supremacy it currently

holds. The “Cottage stage “ was the first stage in its history where textile were produced on a

domestic basic. During this period cloth was made from materials including wool, flax and

cotton. The material depended on the area where the cloth wad being produced, and the time

they were being made. In the later half of the medieval period in the northern parts of Europe

, cotton came to be regarded as an imported fiber.

About pure silks

Silk Mark is a certification mark in India for silk textiles. The mark certifies that the piece of textile

which bears the mark is made of pure natural silk. The certification is managed by the ‘Silk Mark

Organization of India’, a society set up by the state-controlled Central Silk Board of India. Even

though promoted by the government of India, the mark is only advisory in nature and is not legally

endorsed. The certification scheme was founded by the Central Silk Board in 2004.In the original

format, the mark included a silk mark logo woven on a hang-on tag on which a unique numbered

hologram would be affixed. But the hang-on tag tended to be faked (reused) hence, a new method

with the mark woven onto the textile itself has been proposed.

COMPANY DEPARTMENT OR ORGANISATION DEPARTMENT

4.1 SILK STORE DEPARTMENT IN INDUSTRY:

Before starting the garments production, the required amount of silk has to store in the

garments. All the next processes such as spreading, cutting, sewing, etc. have been done by

taking the fabric from here. As result, this department plays an important role to get smooth

production. As its importance, this article has presented a detailed discussion on the activities of

the fabric store department in the readymade garments sector.

Quality Control Measures

The growth in global manufacturing activities and in international business has made it

difficult for small manufacturing enterprises to thrive and to keep up with the technologically

advanced quality control practices such as statistical process control. There are basic quality

tools which can be used in different settings; these are the PDCA (Plan-Do- Check-Act) Cycle,

brainstorming flow-charts, trend-charts, scatter plots, and Pareto charts. In order for

manufacturers to derive value for these tools they need to have quality reliability planning in

place.

Quality reliability planning is defined as “a procedure designed to ensure that when a

new product is being introduced, correspondence between all different sections and that a

system is in place that will allow the product to consistently meet the requirements of the

customer. The procedure consists of the quality design plan, the quality control plan, and the

failure mode and effects analysis”. The next section describes the process of sewing clothing

wear which is the central point of this paper.

Pure Silk store department in the industry

The above activities have explained in the following:

1. Pure Silk dispatched from supplier:

Here, the required amount of Pure Silk dispatched from the definite Pure Silk supplier.

2. Pure Silk receiving:

It is the second task of any Pure Silk store department in the manufacturing industry. Here, the

store in-charge receives Pure Silk from the Pure Silk supplier by the following invoice.

3. Pure Silk checking:

Here, the Pure Silk has checked by following a four-point system.

4. Pure Silk checking by security guards:

The number of Pure Silk should be confirmed here by security guards according to the invoice.

If it’s found short then immediately should inform the industry merchandiser.

17
5. Shade checking:

It’s a very important task for the Pure Silk store department. Pure Silk shade should be checked

here by following different types of shade that are already approved by the buyer. Here, various

Pure Silk shades have been found which should be kept in lot wise.

6. Pure Silk lot rejection:

According to the grading of Pure Silk such as A, B, C, D, etc., Pure Silk lot has to reject here.

This task is performed by Q.C (quality controller)

7. Send to the merchandiser for approval:

Here, the apparel merchandiser receives all the information related to the supplied Pure Silk

from the Pure Silk store department. If found any major defects or faults then the merchandiser

discusses them with the suppliers and takes the necessary steps to solve those.

8. Quality checking for defects:

In this section, the quality controller checks Pure Silk quality according to the buyer’s quality

recommendation.

9. Kept in store:

After completing all the above information, finally, Pure Silk are kept in store for support into the

next processes such as cutting, sewing, etc.

18
 4.3 CUTTING SECTION

Cutting room is a section in the industry where to cut Pure Silk as per the pattern,

marker; cutting parts sew to bring in garments form. Cutting is the most sensitive operation in

the apparel industry, cutter man work accuracy is the key here to maintain good cutting quality.

If you are related to the apparel industry or apparel manufacturing process you should know

cutting work activities. Some certain rules and procedure have to maintain by cutting

department I am giving cutting process flow chart step by step in below for your easy

understanding.

Flow Chart of Industry Cutting Section:

Pure Silk Relaxation

Pure Silk can be relaxed from 24 to 48 hours before spreading as per customer requirements.

Pure Silk relaxation will depend on customer requirements.

Pre-Spreading and Spreading Quality control

1. Pattern and marker checking using approved sample

2. Pattern grain line

3. Spreading table marking lengthwise with allowance

4. Shade wise spreading by using Pure Silk shade chart

5. Spreading defects like leaning, bowing, skew, narrow goods, tension and marking .

Cut Panel Inspection

1. Quality an inspector will check Panel using Hard pattern after cut from three different

position Top, Middle, and Bottom

21
2. If there any discrepancy, a correction will be immediate. If the panel found plus from

hard patterns, it will have to cut extra part. If panel found minus from hard pattern, will have

to place the Pure Silk under marker as per lay chart to remake again.

3. All cut panels will be inspected to detect any types of fabric fault if any defective panel

found, will be replaced from lay chart wise remnants by following the shade and pattern grain

line.

Production Order Sheet: Cutting Section firstly takes the PO sheet. They find out all detailed

information in the PO sheet especially size breakdown, size-wise and color-wise order quantity.

4.4 TESTING SECTION

22
Bleach Test – Pure Silk or Mulberry Silk dissolves 100% in bleach.

Artificial Silk or Polyester does not change.

Burn Test – Pure Silk burns with transparency and smells like burnt hair and the burned part is

crispy and could even be crushed into ashes. Pure Silk burns slowly when it comes in contact with

fire but won’t catch fire and stops burning instantly when the flame is removed.

Artificial silk crumbles while burning, smells like burning plastic & will drip forming a black ball

of residue which is not ash. It can catch fire and continues to burn with high flames even after the

fire is removed.

Warmth Test – Pure silk gives a warm feeling when rubbed with fingers.

Artificial or synthetic silk does not give that warmth feeling when rubbed with fingers.

Lustre Test – Pure silk color looks different from different angles.

Artificial silk gives a white shine no matter from whatever angle you see.

Weave Test – Pure silk fabric carries irregularity and has a rough texture & this is what makes it

unique.

Artificial silk is even throughout the fabric and gives a finished look.

Ring Test – Pure Silk is flexible & smooth in nature so it can easily slip out from ring (applicable

on light silk only).

Artificial or synthetic silk won’t be able to pass through finger ring. It will bunch up and may even

at times get stuck in the ring.

23
24
 4.5 SEWING AND EMBROIDERY PROCESSES

Sewing-based processes include sewing and embroidering of conductive threads or

wires onto textiles and the sewing on, or couching, conductive wire onto the textile surface.

Sewing processes use a series of stitches to construct textile products and are used, for example,

to join or finish pure silk. Embroidery is a decorative process used to add designs or features

to a textile. In order to maintain compatibility with standard textile manufacturing processes,

only automated techniques (as opposed to hand sewing and embroidery techniques) are

considered here. The Pfaff Creative 3.0 automated sewing and embroidery machine used in this

study has two thread paths: needle and bobbin path. In principle, conductive threads can be

used simultaneously in both paths, producing a double-sided pattern However, this was found

to be not possible with the conductive threads investigated in this study. The processes

examined and evaluated in this work are as follows:

Single-sided sewing with conductive thread: conductive thread is used, to produce a number of

stitched tracks, each of which relies upon the conduction along the length of the conductive

thread to produce a conductive path across the textile.

25
Sewing on of insulated conductor as part of the stitch: this uses an insulated conductive wire

in the lower thread path. Conventional non-conductive thread is used in the needle path to

attach the conductive wire to the underside of the textile.

Single-sided embroidery with conductive thread: conductive thread is used as one of the two

threads in the embroidery process. Embroidery can produce wider conductive tracks than with

sewing but relies upon conduction between adjacent stitches.

26
 4.6 SELECTION OF CONDUCTIVE THREADS:
The conductive threads typically consist of a core material, such as nylon, which is then

coated with a conductive material such as silver. A range of core and conductive material

combinations are commercially available and will be discussed below. In addition to the

conductive threads. Potential conductive materials were investigated for compatibility with the

Pfaff Creative 3.0 automated sewing and embroidery machine. The key parameters that affect

the suitability of the thread for sewing and embroidery include:

27
 Diameter – the thread must be a compatible in size with the needles used. Many of the

readily available conductive threads are intended for the hobbyist market and are suitable for

hand sewing but are too large for machine embroidery. Breaking strain – The thread or wire

28
needs to be strong enough to withstand the tension applied during the sewing process, this

requirement can rule out some of the thinner threads.

Thread surface texture/roughness – The surface roughness affects how the thread or

wire feeds through the embroidery machine. Excessive roughness increases the friction and can

cause jams and snags in the machine. Abrasion resistance / fraying – if the thread or wire tends

to fray, it may bunch up and then jam in the needle, causing incomplete embroidery and/or

thread breaks.

29
 4.7 QUALITY CONTROL

Quality is an important concept in all stages of garment production. To get the quality

product, check and controls must be ensured in each stage of the production. This will also

avoid all kinds of mistakes.

Prevention is better than cure and also do the things right at the first time. These will

really bring awareness in the production line. By any chance an alteration or a mistake in the

garment is difficult to be rectified properly. For upkeep of quality, good housekeeping and

cleanliness should be of top priority.

30
 4.8 POWER LOOM SECTION

A power loom is a mechanized loom, and was one of the key developments in the

industrialization of weaving during the early Industrial Revolution. The first power loom was

designed in 1786 by Edmund Cartwright and first built that same year. It was refined over the next

47 years until a design by the Howard and Bullough company made the operation completely

automatic. This device was designed in 1834 by James Bullough and William Kenworthy, and was

named the Lancashire loom.

31
 Northrop loom manufactured by Draper Corporation in the textile museum, Lowell,

Massachusetts. By the year 1850, there were a total of around 260,000 power loom operations in

England. Two years later came the Northrop loom which replenished the shuttle when it was

empty. This replaced the Lancashire loom.

33
 Conclusion

The life style of women has undergone evolutionary change in recent times. This is due
to the consumer desire in their day today life.

On the basis of the above suggestion I would like to conclude that AGALYA GROUPS

OF SILKS are to be well advertised as many of the consumer it id used by reached to rural area

so advertisement should be improved.
