It will be paid in exchange of documents under certain items and condition.

14. What is invoice?

After sending the garments goods to the importer country, the documents mentioning the price is sent to the buyer for collecting is called invoice.

15. What is quota?

It is an agreement between governments of the importer country and the exporter country. In details it is the quantities of garments of different categories upon the manufacturing countries according to the business policy.

16. What is FOB?

FOB means free on board. If the price of the goods is mentioned in invoice without transport cost then it is called FOB.

17. What is C&F?

C&F means cost and freight. If the price of the goods is mentioned in invoice including transport cost then it is called C&F.

18. What is CIF?

CIF means cost, insurance and freight. If the price of the goods is mentioned in invoice including transport cost and insurance cost then it is called CIF.

19. What is category?

Category is a number which indicated what type of fabric is used for making the particular garment and it also indicated the type of this garment.

20. What is face of fabric?

The surface of the fabric that is intended to be seen because it presents s better appearance than the other side due to its characteristics i.e. weaves, luster, finish etc. in many fabrics, especially industrial fabrics, face and back are identical.

21. What is faced cloth?

A term sometimes applied to the fabrics that have a separate set of warp or filling yarns on the back of the cloth i.e. pile fabric, flannel fabric.

22. What is fusing?

The term generally refers to partial melting. In bonding, fabric layers are joined together by fusion of an adhesive under heat and pressure.

23. What is the abbreviation of G/D?

G/D stands for grams per denier.

24. What is gauge?

In knitted fabrics, it is a measure of fineness or number of wales per unit of width across the fabric. Higher gauge numbers indicate finer texture.

25. What is grading?

When different sizes of patterns are made from the master pattern of the garment is called grading.

Fusing Process Applied in Apparel Industry

Fusing Process in Garments:

Fusing process is one kinds of alternative method of fabric joining which is vastly used to attach the interlining. At present, apparel manufacturing cannot be imagined without fusing process. As its importance, this article has presented a details discussion on fusing process with its classification and defects.

Fusing Machine

Types of Fusing in Garments:

There are three types of fusing process used in garments which are mentioned in the below:

1. Reverse fusing,
2. Sandwich fusing,
3. Double fusing.

All the above processes have explained in the following:

1. Reverse fusing:

In this process, the fabric of interlining is spread on the fusing bed and the part consists of resin is directed upward. Then the fabric of garments is spread on the resonated part of fabric and fusing is done there. This is called reverse fusing. In this process, the area of interlining is comparatively small than the fabric of apparel, as a result proper spreading is difficult here.

2. Sandwich fusing:

Generally, fusing is done by continuous fusing machine where the heat is applied from both sides of fabric. In this process, two pairs of fabrics are fused i.e. the two interlinings are placed between or in the middle of two fabrics of apparel. If the heat and pressure are not applied properly then four layers may be joined due to the effect of striking back during fusing. By using this process, the production can be increased but needs more time. It may have unsatisfactory in fused garments.

3. Double fusing:

In this process, two types of interlining are joined with the garment fabrics in a step during fusing. There is needed to control the temperature during fusing and it must be able to set the interlinings parts and garment parts properly. This type of fusing is generally done in collar and the front part of jacket.

Defects of Fusing Process:

There are mainly two types of faults found during fusing. Those are explained in the below:

1. Striking back:

When two parts of fabrics are joined by pressure and heat during fusing, it must have the control to the temperature and pressure. Sometimes the pressure and heat are not controlled properly during fusing so that the resin is passed through the lower part of fabric. It is called striking back.

2. Striking through:

When two parts of fabrics are joined by pressure and heat during fusing, it must have the control to the temperature and pressure. Sometimes the pressure and heat are not controlled properly during fusing so that the resin is passed through the upper part of fabric. It is called striking through.

5S Principles on Garments Productivity

5S Principles on Garments Productivity

Introduction:

To achieve higher garments productivity 5-S principles play an important role in garments manufacturing sector. In today’s ready made garments business, most of the factories are regularly maintained 5S principle for producing higher number of quality garments. As its importance, today I will present here the details discussion on 5S principles.

5S Principle Cycle

What is 5S Principle?

Japanese management tries to instill in the brains of employees some basic principles of work which are known in Japan as 5S principles. It is very effective in business and garments production management, which proved not only in Japan but also outside the Japan.

5S principles are mentioned in the below:

1. Seiri: Clear unnecessary materials,
2. Seiton: Ensure good house keeping,
3. Seiso: Keep cleaning the machines, workplace, etc.
4. Seiketsu: Pursue right standard,
5. Shitsuke: Train your personnel.

Impact of 5S Principles on Apparel Production:

Influence of 5S principles on garments productivity have discussed in the following:

1. Seiri: Clear unnecessary materials:

This principle contains the below matters:

• Remove unused and unusable materials,
• Clear defective products,
• Clear superfluous things,
• Remove idle equipment and tools.

All these result in clean and tidy workplace and better work environment.

2. Seiton: Ensure good house keeping:

This includes in arranging right materials at right place for quick access and disposal. This leads to better organization of materials and congenial work environment. Seiton results in less time in accessing materials and disposing them for garments production. This result creates the opportunity for higher garments productivity.

3. Seiso: Keep cleaning the machines, workplace, etc:

This principle includes the below matters-

• Seico leads to machinery in good condition,
• Neat and clean work place i.e. fabric and garments not dirty or spoiled,
• Rework or re-process,
• Good environment,
• Higher performance in productivity and quality.

4. Seiketsu: Pursue right standard:

Appropriate work standard leads to better employee performance, higher quality and productivity.

5. Shitsuke: Train your personnel:

This principle includes the below matters-

• Training leads employees to achieve higher skill and workmanship,
• Higher dedication and motivation,
• Better work habits,
• Higher worker performance,
• Higher garments productivity, and
• Perfect quality.
