    Readymade garments Garments made from mass production in different standard sizes and color & prints. Such garment is not made as per an individuals specification but made in such a way that it can easily fit an individual with body measurements matching any standard size.

    READYMADE GARMENT BRANDS

    Ready to wear (pret-a-porter) Generally refers to free size garments or readymade garments off the rack which are sold ready to be worn

    THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF GARMENTS

    Process flowchart for manufacturing


    Buyer decides what to produce (style, color, quantity) Buyer searches for a manufacturer Buyer-manufacturer/seller contact (internet, previous order, old customers, advertisement, agent) Negotiation for order/contract

    Buyer sends an original garment for duplication at manufacturers unit (to assess quality, production time, delivery, cost)

    The first sample is made at manufacturers unit (duplicating same size, style/design, similar fabric, print, drape and trims)- PROTO SAMPLE to assess consumption and cost
    The sample is sent for buyers quality evaluation

    If the buyer approves, the order is confirmed (otherwise the order is cancelled)

    Cost negotiation between buyer and manufacturer


    Buyer sends ORDER CONFIRMATION ( a written document confirming the order) Buyer sends SPECIFICATION SHEET ( with details of every step of work like size chart, grading, size-color ratio, trimmings details, stitching details, packing details etc.) and a MEDIUM SIZE PATTERN

    Manufacturer prepares/generates PRODUCTION ORDER (an internal document with details of working of each department) Manufacturer places order for raw materials (Fabric and trimmings) and packing materials (plastic, shapers, cardboard stays etc.) Manufacturer conducts raw material inspection after the purchased materials are received

    Materials received are kept in stores Pattern set sent by buyer is graded to different sizes according to size colour ratio Marker planning done to assess fabric consumption Production planning including line balancing and machine sequencing taken up

    Fabric issued to cutting room and ready marker from CAD received at cutting room

    Spreading and laying up of fabric in cutting room


    Marker placed on top of lay Block cutting (for extra curves) by straight knife

    Precise cutting by band knife or die cutting machine In process inspection on cutting quality, number of pieces, size etc Lay packing Ticketing

    Bundling Dispatch to production floor for stitching Stitching of small parts following a system of production according to plant size, order volume etc. Assembly of small parts with bigger parts Final inspection for measurement in complete garment Thread trimming and thread sucking Stain removing

    Pressing Folding Final pressing Bagging Boxing Carton packing Storage and despatch
