Apparel is one of the basic necessities of human civilization along with food, water
and shelter. At present, it is amongst the fastest growing industry segment and is
also the second largest foreign exchange earner for the country. The apparel
industry accounts for 26% of all Indian exports. The Indian government has targeted
the apparel and textiles industry segments to reach $50 billion by the year.
8|Page
As the world’s second largest producer of textile and garments, India’s
garment exports totaled US$ billion during the year , giving it an enviable
market share of 2.99%.
The Americas, EU, much of Asia and Middle East are India’s clients.
The industry proudly supports 7 million people as part of its workforce, and
aims to double this figure by ; even today it is the second largest provider of
employment in the country.
For every INR 100,000 invested in the industry, an average of 7 additional jobs
created.
The Apparel Sector alone contributes to 8% of India’s total exports with
exports recording a 1% growth over last year.
By the year , India expects to record a 15% growth in quantity and 20% growth
in values
In RMG exports, India, today, ranks 6th in the world, with a 2.6% world market
share and robust 11% growth.

MERCHANDISING
Merchandising is a process through which products are planned, developed,
executed and presented to the buyer.
It includes directing and overseeing the development of product line from start
to finish.
Marketing and merchandising department - A team of merchandisers and
marketers work together under a profit controls head.
Merchandisers handle the foreign buyers. The teams are made according to the
buyers being handled.
Sampling Department
In any export house, the sampling department is one of the most important
departments and it plays a vital in the uplifting of a unit.
Sampling department directly co-ordinates with the merchandising and
production department.
Sampling is done to see how the product will look like when produced in bulk
and to check whether there are any discrepancies in the pattern are made
according to the buyer’s specification.
Sampling is the product development stage. It is a process by which a small
number of garments are made so as to match the buyer requirement and to
get approval from the buyer so as to start off the production.
It is different from bulk production as here each tailor is multi skilled. This
department makes samples on the basis of specifications and requirements
sent by the buyer in the tech packSession 1- Apparel Standards Specifications

FABRIC SOURCING
Fabric sourcing department is basically engaged in determining how and
where its merchandise i.e fabric will be obtained.
It works in co-ordination with the merchandising department and looks after
the delivery of the required goods within the scheduled time and cost.
A fabric sourcer must have a knowledge about all varieties of fabric in order
to execute their function effectively.
PURCHASING DEPARTMENT
The purchasing department is similar to the sourcing department but the main
difference is that the sourcing department works for sourcing the fabrics alone
while the purchasing department works for sourcing the accessories and trims.
However, the working procedure is the same.
15 | P a g e
The stores receives the raw materials in-house and after this they
will have to do the sampling process and then they have to make a
list of the tests that are supposed to be carried out for that
particular accessories and then they send this to the laboratory.
The lists of accessories and tests that are generally tested are as
follows,
PLANNING DEPARTMENT

LABORATORY DEPARTMENT
17 | P a g e
The laboratory in the factory is equipped with all the necessary devices and
instruments that are required for the testing of both the fabric and the
accessory items.
But, there are several tests which the buyer prescribes for which the
machineries are not available in the factory for such tests the factory does
not have the right machineries so they send such fabrics or accessories, which
requires some other tests to the external laboratories which are authorized
MACHINE MAINTENANCE
18 | P a g e
Apart from having quality system and the best practices,’ machine
maintenance’ is also a very important are to get ‘quality’ products.
Unacceptable quality of products often results ill-maintained machines
.Breakdown and preventive maintenance is primarily aimed toward reduced
downtime and increased life respectively.
Proper machine maintenance is also necessary to avoid casualties at the floor.

Knitting:
There are three types of the fabric manufacturing process. They are weaving,
knitting, and non-weaving. Knitted fabric produced by loop forming. Such type of
fabric huge demand in the present world. For the manufacturing of knitted fabric,
the process flow chart of knitting technology is given below.
29 | P a g e
Circular Knitting Machines
↓
Dispatching
In this machine, yarn count basically dependent on the needle pitch. As the
diameter of yarn is proportional to its yarn count in the direct system, a
relationship exists between the range of optimum counts of yarn that could be
knitted on a particular machine and the gauge of the machine. Machine gauge
31 | P a g e
could play an influential role in the choice of yarn count and can have an effect on
fabric properties. Thus it’s essential to obtain an optimal balance of yarn count
and machine gauge in order to ensure the best knitting performance for a specific
machine gauge and structure, with a high machine efficiency and minimum fabric
fault rate.
Both single set and double set machines have also existed as Jacquard machines.
Those needed for special designs. In these machines, the movement of each
needle could control by each cam. Common products that might produce with
circular knitted fabric are T-shirts. For production, nearly every material could
use. The form varies from the filament to staple fiber yarn.
Knit fabrics are mainly constructed by interloping one or more sets of fiber or
yarn. The most common examples of clothing utilizing knit fabric are socks.
Knitting has a versatile manufacturing process. As an entire product could
manufacture on a single knitting machine.
34 | P a g e
Knitting is much faster than weaving. Due to the looping, more yarn is required to
manufacture a knitted product than a comparable woven product. Knits are very
comfortable fabrics. The loop structure of the knit fabric contributes to elasticity
beyond what is capable of the fibers alone. It’s prone to snagging and has a higher
potential shrinkage than a woven.
WEAVING:
35 | P a g e
In the weaving industry; different fabrics are produced. These fabrics are weaved
by using various looms and related machines. Before going straight to the
weaving process; some pretreatment and pre-process should be carried out.
Process flow chart of weaving technology is given below.

Comparing Woven Textiles to Knits
Woven cloth and knitted cloth have some key differences that can make them best suited
to specific needs.
Temperature
Along with elasticity, knitted fabrics tend to be cooler and more breathable than woven
fabrics. Because the interlocking loops also allow for more space in the fabric, air can
flow more easily through them. In woven fabrics, the threads or yarn are pulled more
tightly together as they're woven over and under each other. This means they provide
more insulation than knits. This is also what makes wovens better at blocking out the
wind.
Ability to recover
Finally, knitted fabrics recover from folding and wrinkling more easily than woven
fabrics. This means they are better for clothes you would keep folded, in drawers, or those
you'd want to pack in suitcases or bags and bring with you when you travel. It is easier to
end up with a piece of woven fabric that appears wrinkled and creased than it is to have a
knit fabric with lasting wrinkles or fold marks. Thus, woven fabric is better for clothes
that you will wear for special occasions or will hang in a closet, like formalwear or winter
outerwear.
41 | P a g e
Knits and Weaving Measured
Most fabrics are measured by their weight or thickness. While people can use several
units of measure to describe textiles, the popular way to measure textiles is by using
thread count, or threads per inch. The denier is another of the most common textile
measurements.
Denier, often seen as D in measurements, conveys the linear mass density of the fibers
used to create the fabric. This means that when referring to the denier of fabric, you are
referring to the thickness of each thread. The unit of measurement uses one strand of silk
as the basis of its reference—where 9,000 meters of the thread would equal 1 gram.
The denier of a fabric explains how fine or durable that fabric is. The smaller the denier,
the more fine the fabric is, and the more fragile it is. Alternatively, a high denier indicates
a tough fabric that is more durable. Fabrics that are under 1 denier are considered
"microfiber" since the threads that make up the fabric are small and incredibly fine.
Both woven and knit fabrics can be measured and described by their denier. Also, just
because a fabric has the same denier as another fabric doesn't mean those two fabrics will
appear the same. For example, 1000 D Ballistic Nylon and 1000 D Cordura have the same
measure of thickness; however, the textures of the threads that make up the two weaves
are different—resulting in one fabric that feels thicker and heavier (ballistic nylon), but
one fabric that is more resistant to abrasion due to a rougher thread surface texture
(Cordura).
How the threads are assembled to create a textile will also affect its feel. As mentioned
above, a knit fabric feels airier, lighter, and looser, and it has more give. A textile made
from woven threads—even if they are of the same weight as a knit thread—results in a
heavier, more durable, and less airy fabric.
Ultimately, the thread you choose to create a textile with influences the way it feels when
it's finished, but the way the threads are assembled within that textile affects the feel and
give of the fabric, as well.

Production Sequence of Fabric Spreading
and Cutting
Fabric Spreading:
Fabric spreading is a process by which plies of fabric are spread in order to get the
required length and width as per marker dimension. It is done after marker making.
This is a preparatory operation for cutting and consists of laying. It is important in
the garments industry because without spreading fabric not possible to cut so many
pieces of cloth at a time. The production sequence of fabric spreading and cutting are
discussed below:
Fabric Cutting:
Cutting is the process that cut out the pattern pieces from specified fabric for making
garments. After fabric spreading, fabric cutting is done by the cutter. It is one of the
basic operations to make a garment.
43 | P a g e
Production Flowchart of Fabric Spreading and Cutting
The shape of the fabrics that is attained as per the spreading of fabric is called the
fabric lay. In the fabric lay, there may have fabrics in two to hundreds of layers.
Trying to represent the maximum number of fabric plies in the lay, the program
44 | P a g e
generates all spreads. Fabrics with similar properties are grouped together for one
spread to reduce spreading time. If a disproportionate number of layers (a very small
number) appears for separate spreads, the program can perform automatic
balancing. However, fabric spreading is a time-consuming job.
As the fabric layer is made by the spread of hundreds of layers of fabrics and it is
done on the cutting table, the construction of the table should be the strong one and
the top of it should be well smoothed. Especially, if the spreading machine is set on
the spreading table, the table should be better constructed. The good quality
spreading table possesses holes on their tops through which air is blown outside
from the inside.

STRENGTH
How is yarn strength measured? ASTM D1907 is a denier
test by the skein method. 1 Denier is the same as 1 gram
with 9,000 meters of material.
ELONGATION
Yarn strength and elongation are tested through Tensile
testing equipment that has unique grips to hold the yarn.
ISO and ASTM Standard Tensile test method test the
breaking strength, elongation, tenacity, and toughness of
yarn.
LINEAR DENSITY
The fineness of yarn is expressed by count, or linear
density. In the Metric count, Nm, it is determined by the
number of one kilometer yarn weighing in One Kilogram.
The Tex or Denier system takes the weight in grams of
either 1 or 9 kilometers of yarn.
EVENNESS
Yarn evenness is a measure of the level of variation in yarn
diameter along its length. It refers to the variation in yarn
linear density or mass per unit length of yarn. There are
two methods for testing evenness that include using an
Uster evenness tester in the capacitive method or a Zweigle
G580 in an optical method.
