Report on Cutting section:

Duration: 19^th March, 2012 to 31^st March, 2012.

Cutting department is the most import section of the industry.  The main component of the cutting section is Leather. Leather need to cut in budget. If a operator can cut maximum component from leather then company can make great profit.

Leather Defects:

Naturally leather has some defects. So it needs to cut carefully to get maximum profit. There are many types of defects in leather. Some of them given below:

►Natural matters:

• Growth marks

 Growth marks occur in the shoulder and neck areas at right angles to the back bone line . They  are caused by wrinkles in the skin . The wrinkles are similar to those on the fore head of a man or woman and become more pronounced with age.

• Veins:

After the skin has been tanned , vein may be visible through the surface Finish of smooth finished leather.

• Scratches :

These are deep long scratches caused by thorng shrubs . Cattle stray out to grain in thorng and while running against the thorng the animal gets their hide scratches.

• Flay cuts:

Skin is usually a by product of meat industry . When the skin is removed cuts occur due to careless misuse of the flaying knife . These will appear on the flesh side of the skin.

• Tick marks:

The tick burrows its head into the skin of the animal to suck the blood and at the some time injects the animal after the tick with draws.

• Loose grain:

These are small round depressions on the grain surface of the H/S .These small depressions innumerable and they make hides totally unsuitable.

• Warble hole:

Many hides are found to be of a very poor quality due to old age and protracted illness. These hides are thinner and contain looser and emptier fiber texture.

• Back bone :

   After the skin or hides has been tanned, the backbone will be visible through the         surface finish of the leather in the surface finish leather.

   ►Technical matters:

Quality control

Sorting:

At first we need to sort the leather. We have to check several things such as color fastness, thickness and type of grade given by tannery, key test, tape test etc. after sorting the leather we have to make consumption for every pair. Consumption of Cow leather 10-15% & Sheep leather 20-25% (based on paper). If article knife is not more than two then consumption is 10%.

Leather Grade:

Cutting:

Mainly two types of methods followed in cutting section.

 They are given below:

      1. Tracing method

      2. Direct cutting method

Benefit of tracing method:

• Avoid defects
• Good production
• Get more cutting area
• Easy for operator
• Can use less experience cutter

Detriment of tracing method:

• Time consuming method
• Budget high
• Need more man power then direct method

Benefit of direct method:

• Less man power
• Good production
• Fewer budgets
• Good for A grade leather

Detriment of direct cutting method:

• Need experience cutter
• Rejection rate is high
• Need more time for Q.C

Stamping:

Here article no. , size no. of a product is attached by stamping machine by using foil paper.

Embossing:                                                                      

Embossing is also important operation, because it will be identify to the company’s logo.

Quality Control:

To get a perfect production we need to check every single component. that why Q.C is important for shoe manufacturing. During Q.C we have to identify different types of defects which can hamper production. Many defects are not visible in leather but during lasting they came out. For this we have to recheck it on last.

Q.C table- 1 pcs

Materials:

Not only leather but also many type of material need to cut in cutting room. Such as lining leather, reinforcement material (PU, Casper, Cotton, and Foam), sole, insole, toe puff, stiffener, Velcro etc.

CONCLUSION:

Two months industrial training is an important part of our technological education. This training helps me to do the work by direct practice and observation. I have learnt many new industrial terms and many techniques of manufacturing.

We observed many new types of machineries. We have learnt how to deal with a buyer, quality control, costing etc. we also observed conveyer system related production and the layout of this factory.

Finally, we have learnt how to control the total working procedure and management system.

Considering my all observation about the production and management system of Apex Adelchi Footwear Ltd, it is cleared that –Apex Adelchi Footwear Ltd. is one of the leading footwear manufacturing industries in Bangladesh.

  REMARKS

After the industrial training of two months I feel that two months industrial training is not enough for our course. So authority may arrange six months internship in a company so that we can learn the footwear production, management system and labour management system properly.
