Bangladesh Opportunity:
Bangladesh- the country of world famous muslim fabric and the Great Royal
Bengal Tiger has now emerged as an child labor free apparel giant in the
world textile and apparel market. The country exports its apparel products
worth nearly 5 billion US$ per year to the USA, EU, Canada and other
countries of the world. At present the countryis the 6th largest apparel
supplier to the USA and EU countries. The major products are Knit and
Woven Shirts and Blouses, Trousers, Skirts, Shorts, Jackets, Sweaters,
Sportswear’s and many more casual and fashion apparels.

Investment Climate of Bangladesh:

The Government of Bangladesh offers great incentives for encouraging the
use of local fabrics in the export oriented garment industries. For
encouraging textile export, the import of capital machinery is duty-free.
Import of cotton is also duty-free. Moreover, the Government has recently
implemented several policy reforms to create a more open and competitive
climate for foreign investment.
Bangladesh is endowed with abundant and cheap labor force that is easily
trainable and convertible into semi-skilled and skilled work force. Price,
heavily weighted by the labor cost, is one of the main determinants of labor
in our country is lower compared to some of our neighboring countries as
well as some other garment producing countries in South-East Asia and East
Europe. Obviously, existence of such cheap but easily trainable labor is one
of the advantages that Bangladesh enjoys and will be enjoying over a
considerable period in the context of international trade on clothing.

 History of RMG Industries
The Ready Made Garment industry in Bangladesh is not the outgrowth of
traditional economic activities but emerged from economic opportunities
perceived by the private sector in the late 1970s. Frustrated by quotas imposed
by importing nations, such as the US, enterpreneurs and managers from other
Asian countries set up factories in Bangladesh, benefiting from even lower
labor cost than in their home countries which offset their additional cost of
importing all materials to Bangladesh. Bangladesh-origin product met quality
standards of customer from North America and Western Europe, and prices
are satisfactory . Business flourished right from the start. Many owners made
back their entire capital investment within a year or two and thereafter
continued to realize great profit. Some 80% of Bangladeshi production was
sold to North American customers and virtually overnight Bangladesh became
the sixth largest supplier to the North American market.
After foreign business began building a readymade garment industry,
Bangladeshi capitalists appeared and a veritable rush of them began to
organize companies in Dhaka, Chittagong and smaller towns where basic
garment, men’s and boys’ cotton shirts, women’s and girl’s blouses, shirts and
baby clothes were cut and assembled, packed and supplied to customer
overseas (mostly in US). With virtually no government regulation the number
of farms proliferated. No definitive count was available, but there were
probably more than 400 farms by 1985, when the boom was peaking.
After just a few years, the readymade garment industry employed more than
2,00,000 people. According to some estimates about 80% were women, never
previously in the industrial workforce. Many of them woefully underpaid and
worked under harsh conditions. The net benifit to the Bangladeshi economy
was only a fraction of export receipt, since virtually all materials used in
garment manufacture were imported; partially all the value added in
Bangladesh was from labor.
Cutting Section:
Cutting In-charge implement the instruction of the production manager. It is
very necessary to ensure available of fabric, machine, marker, paper, and
accessories. Cutting ration is done as per number of size. In this section
fabrics are inspected thoroughly by spreading it on the table. Quality table is
used for major checking; main purpose of the quality table is to remove the
rejected part. The whole fabric will be rejected if there is even a minor
problem.
After checking fabric properly the next steps are to ensure markers according
to consumption and spreading.
Various operations are carried out in cutting department.
