INTRODUCTION
The major objective of internship was to get the practical knowledge
and ideas that guide the performance of production unit. An industry
builds on participants knowledge of working with other skills by
providing them with an understanding of what elements of knowledge
one needs to do the task and use their skills to gather and verify that
knowledge efficiently.

I have an attempt to work in the merchandising departments of the

garment industry to know the working process of department . This
study has been conducted in SSAL. This is a company which has well
experience in producing suits and trousers.

SSAL is very well known for its quality in the fabric as well as quality of
the finished garments. The production of the garments begins with
sourcing of the fabric followed with cutting, stitching, finishing and
shipment of finished goods. Production process in the export division
will pass through different department with various procedures.

What is merchandising

ABOUT

ORDER

For merchandisers OC (order confirmation) is the first step for

production process. Then they are going for costing based on Tech
pack. After this cost will be confirmed by buyer. Then they are
proceeding for sampling. Simultaneously they order the fabric &
trims in bulk form.
Then the merchandisers works on TIME & ACTION CALENDER. By
this they get all the information about ordered trims &fabrics. So
that they can easily track order.
They are giving indent to CAD to know about consumption. After this
release of BOM will take place. Then trims & fabrics are in housed.
Min while ARO or L/C request will be given to accounts. And also
fabric checking ,GPT testing is done.
Then the fabric is issued to cutting department then it will be issued
to stitching & finishing ,for packing and then finally bulk shipment is
done

Sampling
-

Sample is an example of required product. A sample represents

the manufactures mistakes , this stage may lead to cancellation
of order booked.

The buyer wants to know whether the company is capable of

producing the garment with a desired style, once the design is
received sampling should be done. Buyer may ask many
changes throughout the process.

Samples that are made in production stage are as follows

Proto type sample
Fit sample
Salesman sample.
size set samples

CMP (cut,make,pack)costing

stitching & packing cost .

CMT (cut,make,trim)costing

It is similar to CMP costing but it also include cost required

for trims.

Cost of fabric

It depends on following things

Type of garment & its style
Fabric consumption
Transporting cost
Purchasing cost
Price per meter of fabric

TESTING
In garment and textile testing, GPT stands for Garment
Package Test and FPT stands for Fabric Package Test.

Each buyer set guidelines for what all tests are mandatory
at fabric stage and subsequent in garment stage. Buyers
send this package tests list to their nominated testing labs.
Prior to bulk production buyers asked for FPT and GPT test
report from their vendors for production approval. Garment
manufacturer then sends sample (fabric or garment) to the
testing labs for FPT and GPT. Once garment manufacturer
mentioned for FPT or GPT, testing lab perform all test
according to the buyer test manual. In this package test
garment manufacturer do not need to specify any test to
the testing lab. Pricing of FPT and GPT is done based on the
tests to be performed as per buyer requirement.
