PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

The production department is responsible for converting raw materials and other inputs into finished goods or services. In between the
processes of production, the department works to improve the efficiency of the production or assembly line so that it can meet the output
targets set by company management and ensure finished products offer consumers the best value and quality.

The production department is responsible for creating the finished products which the company needs to sell to earn a profit.

Identifying Inputs:

A business determines the quantity or volume of goods that should be produced within a certain time frame and passes the information to
the production department. To meet production targets, the department establishes the quantity of raw materials and types of machinery
and equipment required to achieve the desired output level and may collaborate with the purchasing department to source the inputs. If
there isn't sufficient manpower to support productions process, the production department asks the firm to hire more personnel.

Scheduling Production:

With the inputs ready, the production department schedules production processes. This involves planning the tasks to be completed along
the production line and allocating the tasks to various production workers. In a woodworking business, for example, the department
determines how long lumber will be allowed to dry before being moved to the machining stage for sawing and bending into shape – and
finally through the assembly and finishing stages.

Minimizing Production Costs:

The production department is tasked with finding effective ways to lower production costs. One simple way to do this is to keep the
production machinery and equipment well-maintained so the firm does not regularly incur repair costs. Along with advising the business
to adopt newer technologies, the department can also assess the production line to identify opportunities for cost reduction.

THE TYPES OF FABRIC KNITTED IN THE INDUSTRY ARE

• KNITTED FABRIC

1. INTERLOCK

2. SINGLE JERSEY

3. RIB

4. LOOP KNIT

5. DOUBLE JERSEY

6. TERRY KNIT
 7. PIQUE FABRIC

8. LYCRA JERSEY

Fig 2: KNITTING MACHINE

 The production process involved to obtain knitted fabric involves 4 process ,they are as follows

Knitting

Dyeing

Bleaching

Compacting

Loop knit process alone has one extra step after dyeing that is Raising

Lycra jersey has one extra step after knitting process that is heat setting

KNITTING

Yarn in package form

Place the yarn package in the creel

Feeding the yarn

Set the m/c as per design & GSM

Knitting

 DYEING

Dyeing is the application of dyes or pigments on textile materials such as fibers, yarns, and fabrics with the goal of achieving colour with
desired colour fastness. Dyeing is normally done in a special solution containing dyes and particular chemical material. The company
had a separate processing unit for dyeing.

BLEACHING:

The knitted fabric to be bleached is thoroughly wet in a soap solution of 2% and piled in kier boiling pan containing 1.5% caustic soda,
2% soda ash and 1% lisapol etc. and allowed to boil for 6-8 hours. The cloth is washed well and taken to SS winches for bleaching using
2% bleaching powder and then washed thoroughly.

COMPACTING:

Compaction (compacting) is a finishing process used to minimize shrinking in textiles. Textile products that are loosely woven or knitted
shrink more, whereas tightly knitted and woven products are more stable. The structure of knitted fabrics is competitively loose and
flexible.

RAISING :

Fleece is a synthetic insulating fabric made from a type of polyester called polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or other synthetic fibres. It
is very comfortable due to its light weight and anti-perspiration qualities, and allows moisture to evaporate, while blocking humidity
from the outside. Inorder to increase the volume of this material raising process is required.

HEAT SETTING:

Heat setting is a term used in the textile industry to describe a thermal process usually taking place in either a steam atmosphere or a dry
heat environment. The effect of the process gives fibers, yarns or fabric dimensional stability and, very often, other desirable attributes
like higher volume, wrinkle resistance or temperature resistance.

 STORAGE DEPARTMEN

Material management is only possible if proper records of the stores are maintained. Stores are very important in carrying out day-to-day
operations. Store keeping’s basic function is to receive the materials, recognize, place the same and issue the raw materials on the
requisition made by the respective department

The main objective of storage department is to

• Arrange the nished goods according to their material type and di

• Make the dispatching process eas

• Dispose the rejected goods by selling them to local buyer

• The goods will be replaced again to make Sure that the company doesn’t face any shortage of inventory

The place had two warehouses to store the raw materials and the nished goods

They sell the rejected at minimal cost to cover losses

There are three types to manage stores here the company follows CENTRALISED stores management

Centralized stores management occurs when a single storehouse is established for the whole organization. This central storehouse caters

to the needs of every department within the organization

Advantages

Centralized stores offer the following benefits:

1. Economy in space, storage cost, and labor.

2. Better supervision and effective control over materials and stores.

3. Minimization of capital investment in stock.

4. Significant reduction of obsolete items in stores.

5. Enables the appointment of experts who can handle the intricacies of inventory control.

6. Enables effective forecasting of material requirements.

7. Better layout and effective inventory checks on stores.

 QUALITY DEPARTMEN

Meticulous care is taken right from the selection of the raw material to provide consistent yarn quality up to end products level.

Fig 5:QUALITY CHECKING MACHINE

• Defect analysing :

Checking machine is used to identify any defect in the fabric .mostly the damage is occurred due to the needle or the yarn damage .

The checking machine used is GAR-T

• Colour compatibility test

Colour matching is the process in which pigments, dyes, and special effect colours are combined to achieve a specified colour in a
specific polymer. A colour match often contains additives in addition the colours, such as dispersants and stabilizers.

• Colour fastness

Colour fastness is the resistance of a material to change in any of its colour characteristics, including the transfer of its colourants
to adjacent materials;

Fading means the colour changes and lightens;

Bleeding is the transfer of one colour to another material. This is often expressed as soiling or staining.

The Quality Manager should be responsible for:

•Training of operators in both basic SPC theory and practice and in control chart analysis.

•The design, purchase, and provision of all necessary materials for measurement or assessment.

The Production Manager for an area should be responsible for:

•Obtaining all relevant information for completion of the information sections of the control chart.

•Distribution of the control charts to the relevant production location.

Present day advanced understanding is aware that increased quality and productivity are interdependent. The undertaking is more
integrated (when this progressive view is adopted). Each worker is responsible for work quality. However, the necessary tools, powers,
and motivation must be present to perform work correctly. The modern production cycle is beginning to resemble the days when each
worker was complete master in the shop, as well as dealing with customers, making the products, and checking their quality.

In order to manage both the total process or the subprocess requires many skills, including level of education in their craft.

Usually, a well-endowed Quality System consists of the quality departments necessary functions as well as a guideline for the
deployment of quality policies.

In most cases, the quality department in an organisation plan, measures, analyses and reports on quality. This is a staff function to
support other departments in the day-to-day improvement of products and services.

Generally, multiple plans, multi-division and multi-national organisations include a corporate quality group. There are instances in which
laboratories report to a divisional quality manager. In large companies there are often autonomous divisions based on a particular product
line. It is customary for each of these autonomous divisions to have its own quality department (at the corporate staff level).

 FINANCE DEPARTMEN

The finance department is responsible for managing all the financial administrative affairs of the company and has a very important
influence on many of the policy and commercial decisions taken by management. The financing of a company’s operations requires
precise
timely planning and control in order to ensure that adequate funds and credits are available when needed.

Apart from the money to pay suppliers, salaries, expenses, etc funds have to be on hand to finance stocks of raw materials and finished
goods. In periods when trading is difficult and revenues are down, provision has to be made to cover such periods.
Some important functions performed by this department are:

1. Providing management informatio

2. Budgeting

3. Garment costing

4. Administration.

1. Management Information:
In the world of business, success or failure is ultimately measured by money and therefore it is essential that the financial pulse of
the company is under continual measurement. This department is directly responsible for providing the management with up-to-
date information on the current and future transactions

2. Budgeting:
The object of budgeting is to plan and control the company’s activities so as to maximize profitability, and the starting point for
all budgeting is the sales budget. This is usually drawn up before the beginning of each financial year or season considering the
sales to be established and new customers, general economic trends at home and abroad, manufacturing capacity and availability
of finance. Other budgets considered are: labour costs, material costs, overheads, and departmental budgets.

3. Garment Costing:

It is the ‘identity card’ of the garment and contains all the information required for the pre-production and production stages making
garments. The costing sheet shows the detailed costs for:

• Material,

 CONCLUSIO

I learned a lot in the internship training done in FDS private limited learned how an industry works. I understood that a lot of effort and
teamwork is done to transform a raw material into finished good. The work life is understood better. The company provides most of the
facilities available to their employees. As an intern , the problems faced by the employees of this department is observed. The employees
of the company face problems like overtime and overload of work. Especially during the time of auditing, the employees have to stay
even until 10 pm, though the shift is till 4 pm.

The company employees have direct contact with the higher authorities. They can communicate the issues directly. The company
provides lunch for its employees every day meals for free . This helps employees who stay at the hostel or away from home to get proper
food. The workers are provided accommodation in the industry

The internship provided me a great platform to exhibit what I know and to learn what I require. The internship is a great platform to
understand what is learnt better as what we learn is only for the practical life. It made me to understand the importance of learning,
innovating, and developing. I felt, I was able to contribute to the company by assisting the employees with the work assigned.
