10. Quality checking of stitched trousers
11. Washing
12. Finishing
13. Folding and Packaging
14. Final Inspection and quality audit
15. Delivery of shipment
1. Pre-Production Process
Before starting bulk material sourcing and bulk cutting, pre-production
processes are involved. Like trouser sample development and sample
approval. Size set samples and PP samples are developed. A trouser
manufacturer can start bulk cutting after getting approval on the PP sample.
2. Selection of fabrics, trims as per the buyer
Depending on the product detailing and product specification, factory selects
fabrics. These activities are performed by the merchandising team. You have
many options for fabrics - cotton, viscose, polyester-cotton, wool, linen fabrics.
3. Procurement of fabric, trims, and accessories
Factory prepares a bill of material according to the material consumption and
order volume. The sourcing team involved in sourcing of fabrics and other
items.
4. Storage of fabric and trims in warehouse
After the procurement of raw material, all raw materials are to be kept in a
proper place that is in a storage-area/warehouse with ambient temperature,
humidity required for the fabrics, and other raw materials.
5. Quality checking of fabric and trims
The fabric inspection is done by laying it on the inspection table against the
light. Fabric inspection and approval of fabric are done before cutting process
so that unevenness in colour/shade or any other faults if any visible in the
fabric are eliminated. The same level of checking is to be followed for trims
and accessories.
6. Pattern making and grading
Simultaneously after the approval of the order, pattern master is assigned to
make patterns that will go for further marker planning and cutting department
for production. Trouser patterns can be made manually or by using a CAD
system. After pattern making, grading of the patterns is done for all sizes.
7. Marker planning and cutting
A marker is commonly done by large thin paper that holds all the size of
pattern pieces for a specific style of garments. Marker is the perfect way to
reduce fabric wastage. The marker gives actual guidelines for completing the
flawless or correct fabric cutting. Marker making can be done in both ways like
manually and computerized methods.
8. Fabric Spreading & Cutting
Spreading is a preparatory operation for cutting. The main aim of the
spreading process is to lay the several fabric plies essential for the production
process to the marker length without any tension on the fabric. The lay height
depends on order size, fabric characteristic, capacity of the spreader, cutting
method and equipment used. The preference of a mode of spreading will
influence the cost of spreading as well as finished garment quality.
9. Ticketing and bundling of cut components
Whenever the bundling system is used, it is accompanied by tickets or bundle
tickets. It gives fundamental information about the work such as the style
number, the size of the garment, the number of garments in the bundle, and
the date issued.
10. Trouser stitching process
The next process is the stitching of trousers using sewing machines. Cutting
bundles are moved to the sewing floor and loaded to sewing lines as per the
loading plan. In a line, sewing machines of different types are arranged as a
vertical line to assemble the garments. The sequence of types of sewing
machine arrangement depends on the sequence of assembling operations.
The number of sewing machine arrangements per line may be up to 60-70
depending on the design and output quantity of trousers.
In the finishing stage, thread trimming is done. 100 percent of the trousers are
checked by the quality checkers. If stains are found on the fabric, stains are
removed using spotting workstations. Then individual trousers are pressed by
steam presses on a vacuum table to remove wrinkle marks. Pressman follows
pressing instruction.
Cutting plotters use knives to cut into a piece of material (such as paper, mylar
or vinyl) .
▪ FABRIC SPREADING MACHINE
Automatic Spreading machines are used in the unwinding of large rolls of
fabric. When using industrial machines and tools to produce garments, the
fabric is often ordered in giant rolls and a spreading table is often used in order
to evenly roll out and spread the fabric so that it can be cut for each garment
piece.
