What is Corporate Policy Strategy?

The Council provides a wide range of specific services (Education, Planning, Social Work, Cleansing etc.) but there are also a number of issues which require a corporate approach. These include such regular matters as Equalities, Best Value, Public Performance Reporting, the Citizen Panel and strategic issues like Asylum Seekers and Refugees.

Generally speaking the Executive Director, as principal policy advisor to the Council, has responsibility for providing a corporate policy and strategic lead to the Council. Sometimes individual services are requested to take the lead on relevant issues. The Council’s Social Work Service is building a partnership with the local health board hi response to the Government’s Joint Futures initiative for example.

The Corporate Policy Unit within the Chief Executive’s Department has the lead responsibility for several key policy areas; develops relevant strategies to handle significant policy issues and supports both senior elected members and the Council’s Corporate Management Team.

The Mission Statement is a crucial element in the strategic planning of a business organization. Creating a mission is one of the first actions an organization should take. This can be a building block for an overall strategy and development of more specific functional strategies. By defining a mission an organization is making a statement of organizational purpose.

“A good mission statement captures an organization’s unique and enduring reason for being, and energizes stakeholders to pursue common goals. It also enables a focused allocation of organizational resources because it compels a firm to address some tough questions: What is our business? Why do we exist? What are we trying to accomplish?”

Group Organogram

Till now, I have visited huge factory among that it is best one. I spent nearly 4 hours within this time I observe CAD to Finishing department. Really it is amazing factory and very much organize. When I see one big room for changing breakage needle I astonished. It is hundred percent foreign oriented. On other hand, the recruitment policy of this factory marvelous.

Organizational Structure of Northern Tosrifa Industry Ltd.

Management Styles & Approaches

Everyone is different. Everyone has their own unique styles, quirks, and personalities that make us different. Some people are outgoing, some are quiet and why…some are funny and others not so much. Because of this, what works for some won’t work for others? This is why one style of organization won’t work for everyone. Everyone can’t and won’t get organized and stay organized in the same way.

Before NORTHERN TOSRIFA INDUSTRY LTD. embark on any organizational project their really need to figure out what their organizational style is first. A great place to look to get an idea about their organizational style is their calendar. How do they keep and maintain calendar?

Are they driven by details to the point of color coding each family member’s schedule for the entire year? If so, they are a detail-driven organized person.

Perhaps it works better for them to take a couple of extra seconds and figure out who has to be where instead of getting lost hi color coding stress. If this is their, they’d say they are a generally thorough organized person.

Someone who typically manages to get to appointments on time but doesn’t spend much time consulting their calendar would be generally organized.

Someone who misses appointments altogether because they can’t even find their calendar would be truly unorganized.

Organizational efforts are causing increased stress and pressure then reassess your efforts.

The goal is to get organized and stay organized in a way that works for your family. Figure out what is comfortable for them.

The goal of organization is to decrease stress and increase productivity with less effort.

Figure out what the highest level of organization is for TIL and then- family that does not create additional stress.

Each of these organizational styles will work for people except for the last one. An important thing to understand is that getting organized is a process – not a result. The result of being organized should bring you and your family less stress – not more. You should see anincrease in productivity as a result of having your home and life organized. The whole idea is to organize to the point where you are improving your life.

This is the first post in a new organization series where they will share their thoughts and experience about organization in general and more specifically what has worked for them as they’ve refined their organizational system over the years.

Women empowerment

Garment sector is the largest employer of women in Bangladesh. The garment sector has provided employment opportunities to women from the rural areas that previously did not have any opportunity to be part of the formal workforce. This has given women the chance to be financially independent and have a voice in the family because now they contribute financially.

However, the women workers are facing many problems. Most women come from low income families. Low wage of women workers and their compliancy have enabled the industry to compete with the world market. Women are paid far less than men mainly due to their lack education. Women are reluctant to unionize because factory owners threaten to fire them. Even though trade unionization is banned inside the Export processing Zones (EPZ), the working environment is better than that of the majority of garment factories that operateoutside the EPZs. But, pressure from buyers to abide by labor codes has enabled factories to maintain satisfactory working conditions.

In recent times, garment workers have protested against their low wages. The firsts protests broke out in 2006, and since then, there have been periodic protests by the workers. This has forced the government to increase minimum wages of workers.

Development goals of RMG sector

The changing composition of RMG exports from Bangladesh in the recent years has created a steady demand for yarn and cotton in the local market. The share of knitwear in 2006 approached half of the total export of RMG, up from a meager 10%-15% share hi the early 1990s. This shift has taken place primarily because of two reasons: the necessity of establishing backward linkages to improve delivery response time for effective competitiveness; and the relatively small investment that is required to establish these linkages in the knitwear sector. Investments in composite knitwear manufacturing units have gained momentum hi the last 8-10 years, creating substantial demand for good quality yarn and in turn demand for cotton for spinning.

Analysis carried out at CPD to assess the export performance of categories, which have been derestricted under the first, second and third phase-outs of the MFA mandated under the ATC shows that even at the 10-digit level there are apparel items where Bangladesh continues to enjoy revealed comparative advantage in the global market. Bangladesh has been able to expand its exports of a number of such items after these were derestricted. For example, of the 46 quota categories derestricted in the second phase, Bangladesh exported apparels items in 26 categories. Under these quota categories, 112 apparel items at 10-digit level were exported by Bangladesh. Total earnings from exports of these items have risen from $86.4 million to $94.4 million between 1998 and 2002, with a number of items being able to make significant gains. Once imports of such items are derestricted, can expand export in these apparel items. Analysis of unit price levels bears evidence of Bangladesh’s competitive strength in some major categories, primarily in such items as mass-produced shuts, men’s wear, jackets, sweaters, etc. This competitive strength should allow Bangladeshi exporters of these particular items to expand their export. There is no place for complacency though. The present upsurge of export in some items, more precisely knitwear items, and more particularly, in the European Union, bears this out. It should be noted here that quotas are still in place on most of the categories where Bangladesh is demonstrating strong growth in the EU and Bangladesh’s exporters talcing advantage of the quota-free access to the EU market. Analysis shows that there are a number of apparel items where it will be extremely difficult to sustain the competitive pressure from suppliers in China, India, Vietnam, Mauritius, Turkey and some of the Caribbean countries once the quotas are gone.

CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Procedure

Corporate social responsibility (CSR), also known as corporate responsibility, corporate citizenship, responsible business, sustainable responsible business (SRB), or corporate social performance, [1] is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. Ideally, CSR policy would function as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby business would monitor and ensure its adherence to law, ethical standards, and international norms. Business would embrace responsibility for the impact of their activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and all other members of the public sphere. Furthermore, business would proactively promote the public interest by encouraging community growth and development, and voluntarily eliminating practices that harm the public sphere, regardless of legality. Essentially, CSR is the deliberate inclusion of public interest into corporate decision-making, and the honoring of a triple bottom line: People, Planet, and Profit.

The practice of CSR is subject to much debate and criticism. Proponents argue that there is a strong business case for CSR, in that corporations benefit in multiple ways by operating with a perspective broader and longer than their own immediate, short-term profits. Critics argue that CSR distracts from the fundamental economic role of businesses; others argue that it is nothing more than superficial window-dressing; others yet argue that it is an attempt to pre­empt the role of governments as a watchdog over powerful multinational corporations. Corporate Social Responsibility has been redefined throughout the years. However, it essentially is titled to aid to an organization’s mission as well as a guide to what the company stands for and will uphold to its consumers.

Social awareness and education

The role among corporate stakeholders to work collectively to pressure corporations is changing. Shareholders and investors themselves, through socially responsible investing are exerting pressure on corporations to behave responsibly. Non-governmental organizations are also taking an increasing role, leveraging the power of the media and the Internet to increase their scrutiny and collective activism around corporate behavior. Through education and dialogue, the development of community in holding businesses responsible for their actions is growing (Roux 2007).

Ethics training

The rise of ethics training inside corporations, some of it required by government regulation, is another driver credited with changing the behavior and culture of corporations. The aim of such training is to help employees make ethical decisions when the answers are unclear. Kullberg believes that humans are built with the capacity to cheat and manipulate, a view taken from (Trivets 1971, 1985), hence the need for learning normative values and rules in human behavior (Kullberg 1996). The most direct benefit is reducing the likelihood of “dirty hands” (Grace and Cohen 2005), fines and damaged reputations for breaching laws or moral norms. Organizations also see secondary benefit hi increasing employee loyalty and pride in the organization. Caterpillar and Best Buy are examples of organizations that have taken such steps (Thiemann 2007).

Crises and their consequences

Often it takes a crisis to precipitate attention to CSR. One of the most active stands against environmental management is the CERES Principles that resulted after the Exxon Valdez incident in Alaska hi 1989 (Grace and Cohen 2006). Other examples include the lead poisoning paint used by toy giant Mattel, which required a recall of millions of toys globally and caused the company to initiate new risk management and quality control processes. In another example, Magellan Metals hi the West Australian town of Severance was responsible for lead contamination killing thousands of birds in the area. The company had to cease business immediately and work with independent regulatory bodies to execute a cleanup.

Stakeholder priorities

Increasingly, corporations are motivated to become more socially responsible because their most important stakeholders expect them to understand and address the social and community issues that are relevant to them. Understanding what causes are important to employees is usually the first priority because of the many interrelated business benefits that can be derived from increased employee engagement (i.e. more loyalty, improved recruitment, increased retention, higher productivity, and so on). Key external stakeholders include customers, consumers, investors (particularly institutional investors), regulators, academics, and the media).

Globalization and market forces

As corporations pursue growth through globalization, they have encountered new challenges

that impose limits to their growth and potential profits. Government regulations, tariffs, environmental restrictions and varying standards of what constitutes labor exploitation are problems that can cost organizations millions of dollars. Some view ethical issues as simply a costly hindrance. Some companies use CSR methodologies as a strategic tactic to gain public support for their presence in global markets, helping them sustain a competitive advantage by using their social contributions to provide a subconscious level of advertising. (Fry, Keim, Mainers 1986, 105) Global competition places particular pressure on multinational corporations to examine not only their own labor practices, but those of their entire supply chain, from a CSR perspective

Sample is an important part of garments manufacturing without approval of sample factory won’t go for production. There are various kinds of sample, some important samples are explain below-

Sales Sample:

Sample is made when price is confirmed and orders are on speculation, usually is L size in all color combinations of expected order. Buyer held a meeting with its customer and record their response on order quantity per color, size etc. and finally place order to their vendor.

Size-Set Sample:

Size-Set Sample consists of one piece from each size for each color combination sample are made.

Photo Sample:

Sample are made with actual color and garments material to be worn by the models on the event of shooting for catalog or advertisement.

Pre-Production Sample:

When materials for balk production arrived and factory ready for bulk production, this time make a sample with the actual material and send to the buyer is called pre-production sample.

Shipment Sample:

After inspection sample is made for buyer to ensure that garments shipedout through vasel are sample as shipping sample so that buyer can inform hi advance to departmental store that, this land of garments you will delivery to him within short time which is on the way.

Procedure of receiving of price quotations for fabrics & accessories.

Pricing is very important factors for any kind of business. After discussion with the supplier price is fixed. For fixing the price some points are followed such as-

Low price.
Quality of the goods.
Sampling.
Price negotiation procedure with different suppliers.

Arrange meeting with different suppliers

Collect price different suppliers

Select some price

Argument with selected suppliers

Win situation

Fixed price

Order to supplier

Why does it negotiate?

It negotiates with a buyer/ supplier for the following reasons:

You need to fix accost/price of the product for mutual benefit.
You require lowering the cost or increase price of the product.
You need to fix production & shipment plan.
You must determine payment terms & conditions mutually profitable & acceptable etc.
Organizing meeting for price negotiation process with different buyer. Know the requirements of both the parties

A merchandiser must well understand the requirements of the buyer, his organization & the supplier. The buyer has intended retail selling price in his mind. So the merchandiser must have sufficient knowledge of garment construction & standard time of the product. He may put forward suggestions so as to bridge up cost price & buyers target price, lead time delivery schedules etc. Are issues which a merchandiser can use for fruit full negotiations? The status of negotiation often shows of up in facial expressions, body languages & verbal reactions, which a merchandiser must well observe for successful outcome of discussion. Merchandisers must listen to & observe the negotiating parties so as to trade benefits to own favor.

Merchandisers must adequately prepare for the negotiation

Merchandiser must properly prepare for the meeting & trading the negotiation. There should be an agenda & time frame for the meeting. Merchandiser must be fully aware of the garments items to be negotiated, product price, order quantity, lead time, freight, garment construction, fabric consumption, cutting & making charges, charges for printing, embroidery, standard tune of the garment etc. So that he is fluent about all aspects of negotiation. Full preparation from the side of the merchandisers about all aspects help come to a successful outcome very quickly. Merchandiser as a negotiator must have maximum & minimum positions hi respect of the order, its price, delivery schedule, order volume etc.

Discuss the offer

During discussion merchandiser must identify the position of the buyer in respect of the offer & if necessary sets his boundary for further negotiation. It is very much expected that different of the offer may change during the course of the negotiation. The creates opportunity for both of the parties.

Presentation of comparative statement (CS) related with different Suppliers for fabrics & accessories.

Through supplier function is very important there selection is not so easy. Supplier must have a proven track record of dependable quality supply at competitive prices & on time. Sometimes buyers helps hi selecting suppliers, because, they have vast experience in sourcing materials & handling the suppliers. This type of suppliers is called buyer-designated suppliers. Supplier should be selected based on the following:

Organizational capability to produce & delivery right goods on time;
Past records of performance;
Machinery & technology used in supplier’s factory;
Supplier’s commitment to work together with factory that placed order.
Preparation of data Bank, of suppliers for different items. For performance ratting uses this formula:

Production monitoring system with suppliers for smooth delivery of Fabrics & accessories.

Material sourcing has undergone dramatic changes during the last few decades. During the old days factories used to produced their goods with locally made materials. Reality gradually changed & cheap raw materials became available at far-off places like Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan etc. Western factories stared souring these materials by taking advantages of the revolution that took place hi the area of transportation & communication. Quick response is the system by which manufactures react quickly to changing trends to market demands & supply their buyer with their requirements in the shortest possible tune.

Quick Response Forecasting

Through forecasting is a cumbersome & risky issue garment factories must make a precise order forecasting & an eventual order plan against which factories can source materials in right earnest. Forecasting must smartly negotiate & settle their orders so that they can be convert their projections in to real orders in no time wasted. This is not the end but the begriming of continuous monitoring the suppliers wheatear the order items as per buyer approval or not as well as appropriate in house date. All information regarding the items that are ordered to sourced need to confirm with buyers.

Daily production report from suppliers to match with factory Production planning.

In order to reap the most of the benefits of reliable supplier base & for quick response, parties must be set up efficient communication links so that they can understand each other quickly. There should be common standards of documentation, common specification sheet easily understandable to each other, common quality acceptance level system & similarly data formats. All these help quickly communication & preparation of documentations. So to match up with the factory production planning merchandiser need to monitor daily production report. Merchandiser need to monitor the production status.

QC management system for monitoring of suppliers production. Flow Chart of Quality Management System:

Inspect all incoming goods, all in-process goods & all finished goods to ensure the quality of products

Ensure that all patterns & grading of patterns are okay

Inspect spreading, cutting & numbering Ensure If relaxation time was to fabric

Install in line inspectors in the sewing line

Install traffic light chart system or other system to monitor the quality hi the production line Inspect 100% goods delivered from sewing lines

Collection of All Relevant Document from Different Companies and Organizations Like GSP. CO, EXP. LD

GSP system:

GSP means generalized system of preference. Bangladeshi garments are exported in the European union market at a quota free system. EEC sectioned duty free status for

Bangladeshi in 1992 for importing of our readymade garments in their market which is known as GSP.

If any importer can prove in European Union market that his garments is produced by the Bangladeshi fabric, he will get this facility. EEC importers get 12% duty rebate on woven fabrics and 12.50% duty rebate on knit fabrics on their GIF invoice value.

In order to qualify for the GSP facility we have to abide by some terms and conditions relevant to the rules of origin. Following is the terms and conditions.
Three stage transformation for woven fabrics i.e.

Grey fabric to be produced in Bangladesh.
Dyeing printing and finishing of these fabrics to be done here.
Finally readymade garments to be produced here by these fabrics.
Four stage transformation for knit fabrics i.e.

Yarn to be produced here from raw cotton.
Grey fabric to be produced.
Dyeing printing and finishing to be done.
Finally knit garments to be made here.
It is a common demand by the customers’ authorities in EU.GSP facility get EU importers when they import garments from third world country.
The certificate of origin is a document that is required in certain nation. It is a signed statement as to the origin of the export item. Certificate of origin are usually signed through a semi-official organization such as local chamber of commerce.

Preparation of Commercial Invoice

An invoice is a commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer, indicating the products, the quantity and description of the goods the loading port and destination port, the mode of transportation, the country of origin, the price per unit and total cost of the goods with which the seller has already provided the buyer. An invoice indicates that payment is due from the buyer to the seller, according to the payments terms. The shipper gets the invoice ready at the time the goods are being is prepared for shipping.

ISO standard:

There are five common standard lengths, 20-ft (6.1 m), 40-ft (12.2 m), 45-ft (13.7 m), 48-ft (14.6 m), and 53-ft (16.2 m). United States domestic standard containers are generally 48 ft (15 m) and 53-ft (rail and truck). Container capacity is often expressed in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU, or sometimes teu). An equivalent unit is a measure of containerized cargo capacity equal to one standard 20 ft (length) x 8 ft (width) container. As this is an approximate measure, the height of the box is not considered, for instance the 9 ft 6 in (2.9 m) High cube and the 4-ft 3-in (1.3 m) half height 20 ft (6.1 m) containers are also called one TEU.

The maximum gross mass for a 20 ft (6.1 m) dry cargo container is 24,000 kg, and for a 40-ft (including the 2.87 m (9 ft 6 hi) high cube container), it is 30,480 kg. Allowing for the tare mass of the container, the maximum payload mass is therefore reduced to approximately 22,000 kg for 20 ft (6.1 m), and 27,000 kg for 40 ft (12 m) containers.

Work study or industrial engineers procedure. Industrial engineering draws upon the principles and methods of engineering analysis and synthesis as well as mathematical, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. In lean manufacturing systems, industrial engineers work to eliminate wastes of time, money, materials, energy, and other resources. The term “industrial” in industrial engineering can be misleading. While the term originally applied to manufacturing, it has grown to encompass virtually all other industries and services as well. The various topics of concern to industrial engineers include management science, financial engineering, engineering management, supply chain management, process engineering, operations research, systems engineering, ergonomics, value engineering and quality engineering. Major Parts of IE in Garments Industry: Analysis Procedure Operation Procedure Workers Assessment Objectives of IE: To sells or business target of the company. To spread production planning information. To set target and submit balance report within schedule time. Analysis Procedure: Basic Semi Critical Critical Basic Analysis: Operator Training Analysis Pre-Production Meeting Analysis Target Setting Analysis: Analysis team will analyze target setting. Setting line target depends on following terms: SMV Manpower Operator and Helper Targeted Efficiency Let, for any garments given SMV = 12.25 Total Manpower = 28 Operators + 25 Helpers = 53 Persons Let us consider the line Efficiency = 100% Then total outcome = 53 x 60 12.25 = 260 pieces per hour But actual line Efficiency = 80% Then outcome of this line = 53 x 80 12.25 = 208 pieces per hour. Line Productivity Calculation: Line productivity = target per hour x SMV x 100% (Manpower x 60) – Non productivity time = 208 x 12.25 x 100 (53×60)-0 = 80% If a line contains 53 manpower and target given per hour 200 then, Line productivity = target per hour x SMV x 100% (Manpower x 60) – Non productivity time = 200 x 12.25 x 100 (53×60)-0 = 77% Again, manpower decrease 53 to 45 and line target remain same as 200 then, Line productivity = target per hour x SMV x 100% (Manpower x 60) – Non productivity time = 208 x 12.25 x 100 (45×60)-0 = 90% Daily Production Report LINE WISE DAILY PRODUCTION REPORT FACTORY:……………….BUYER:…………………STYLE NO:……………..SIZE:………… FACILITY:……………….LINE NO:……………… ITEM:…………………….ORDER QTY: CUT NO.

And fabric lay depends on table length width. And there must be some minimum, overlapping in between one after one ply. 6.7. Fabrics cutting & management procedure; Cutting process: Cutting department receive tech pack from merchandiser and p.p sheet of a style from I.E Cutting check whether sample master pattern and fabrics are ready or not If ready cutting dept. collect sample, marker, and fabrics (for size set) from the sample section CAD section and fabric store. . If it found that an adjustment is required in the master pattern then cutting manager buyer, qc, and pattern master check and make necessary correction as per grading and inform the pattern and CAD section Then cutting dept collect fabrics for bulk production from store and check wheatear, of every roll in fine or not and check the width of a fabric for that lot. Delivery of cutting parts: Receive the parts If it is sub- contract than it place to store Input in sewing floor. Fault of cutting: Shade Measurement Fabric shape Panel cross checking Print and embroidery Important note in cutting section: TMV -Time Measurement Unite. SMV-Standard Minute value. SOP -Standard Operation Procedure. Cutting depend on -number of marker/number of body part. 10 pcs markers mean 10 pcs complete garments. 6.8. Production meeting in factory: Pre production meeting is the process of transforming information many people all managers like production, cutting, quality, finishing as well as store. Pre production preparation (cutting) Check the fabric approval, fabric swatch dia, fabric fault, GSM, shrinkage. Checking of mini marker. Prepare fabric consumption. Check the pattern Run trial cutting Prepare of lay chart Pre production preparation (sewing) Check the approval fabric Standard Approval trim card Approval sample Machine layout Folder and attachment 6.9. Fabrics inspection procedure; Fabric inspection: (4 point system) Check the received fabric with length, color, weight as per fabric booking sheet. Fabric testing as per 4 point inspection system. Less than 2000yds………10% More than 2000yds……….10% If defect in 10%…..,……….100% point impaction, accepted point industry roll for, S/J =20 point D/J =24 point Warp knit =26 point Penalty point is asking according to size of defects, wrap and weft direction: Length of defect Point Sticker color Less than 75mm/ 3″ defect 1 White 75mm-149mm/3″-6″ 2 Green 150mm-229mm/6″-9″ 3 Yellow More than 260mm/9″ 4 Red 6.10. Lab dips preparation procedure; It is the merchandiser’s responsibility to get the Lab dips from the processing mill and to get approval from buyer. There are different matching systems followed in Labs. They are Tube light matching. Sun light matching. Ultra Violet matching. Sodium light matching (show room). Each of these above matching will give different results. For example, if a lab dip matches to the original in tube light, it will differ hi sun light. So the lab dips are to be made according to the buyer’s matching system. Different buyers follow different matching. Hence before proceeding lab dips, merchandiser should be aware of the buyer’s matching system. Accordingly he should arrange to make lab dips. Also he must be sure of making the lab dips hi the actual production fabrics. It is better to make lab dips in more than 3 closer shades. (Some times, the processing factory will make lab dips in 2 shades and will make them hi to 4 bits. If we send the same to buyer and if buyer finds out this, he will think that he had been cheated purposely by the merchandiser. Our reliability will get questioned here). Before sending the lab dips to buyer, the merchandiser should verify whether they are closer to the required shade. And he should send them to buyer only if he is confident that they will get approved. If he sends them with a doubt and if they are not approved, he will have to make them again. By this way, at least 1 week time will be wasted; courier expenditure will be wasted unnecessarily. To adjust this wasted tune, we will have to urge the production which may lead to quality problem. So if he is not satisfied with the lab dips, he should arrange for the revised lab dips from the processing mill immediately. When sending the lab dips to buyer, he has to take some extra care. The lab dip fabric bits are to be ironed and cut into a clean shape. They should be attached to the shade card hi an attractive presentation. This will give a pleasant mood to buyer when he verifies the shades. (Here we should understand the psychological effect in this regard. If we see lab dips hi the morning, we may think they are not suitable. If we see the same hi the evening or the next day, we may think they are closer. Our presentation of lab dips will help to get quick approvals. This is not cheating; just a tip). While making lab dips, the lab hi processing mill will have the recipes noted. They will give different reference numbers to different lab dips. Accordingly each lab dip will have different reference number. When sending lab dips to buyer, the merchandiser should keep one set of counter lab dips with reference numbers. He must be sure that the reference numbers mentioned to buyer’s set are the same in his counter set also. It is advised to follow the same reference numbers by everybody – processing mill, merchandiser and buyer. This will help to avoid confusion when processing. The lab dip procedure is as follows- Lab Test Dimensional Stability How to check dimensional stability Color Fastness Color Fastness to Crocking Color Fastness to Wash Color Fastness to Perspiration Light Fastness Piling Laboratory 6.11.

Leave pins intact until all markings have been transferred from sewing pattern pieces to the fabric.
Transfer all marks to your fabric. These marks include pockets, pleats, circles, darts and tucks. Mark a single dot with a small cross. Mark lining fabric only if you have chosen to pin and cut both lining and fashion fabrics as one.

Marking With Chalk, Marking Pen

Clean idea about M L/C &B/B L/C operation procedure.

Letter of Credit popularly known as L/C is a document & instrument or a contract by which business may be conducted between two parties while one or more banks remain in between them. L/C is a guarantee that the seller will receive the proceeds provided he submits all documents as agreed to the negotiating bank as per contract/clause of the L/C. Receipt of an L/C from a buyer guarantees to the factory that it has actually received in order which if shipped would earn him export value written in the L/C. The negotiating bank also stands as a guarantee for payment of export value after submission of export documents. The negotiating bank works on behalf of the exporter & is responsible for realizing export proceeds from the L/C opening bank. In the transaction of business between two parties through L/C four parties get involved: importer, exporter, importer’s bank & exporter’s bank. There are different ways of payment of export value, such as: 1) Through L/C 2) Through TT Remittances 3) Through differed payment etc. Out of the mentioned modes, payment through L/C has become very popular.

Idea about Irrevocable L/C.

These are the types of L/C which once issued by the bank of the buyer can’t be cancelled, withdrawn & amended by the buyer or the opening bank without the consent of the beneficiary. This implies that once the buyer has opened an L/C in favor of factory to cover the goods he has purchased, he must pay for them if the beneficiary ships the goods as per terms stipulated in the L/C. After shipment of the consignment, the exporter submits the documents to the negotiating bank meeting all the terms stipulated in the L/C. The negotiating banks then are bound to pay the proceeds.

Idea about different L/C. Revocable L/C

These are the L/Cs that may be cancelled or amended by the issuing bank without prior knowledge of the beneficiary.

Irrevocable L/C

These are the types of L/C which once issued by the bank of the buyer can’t be cancelled, withdrawn & amended by the buyer or the opening bank without the consent of the beneficiary. This implies that once the buyer has opened an L/C in favor of factory to cover the goods he has purchased, he must pay for them if the beneficiary ships the goods as per terms stipulated in the L/C. After shipment of the consignment, the exporter submits the documents to the negotiating bank meeting all the terms stipulated in the L/C. The negotiating banks then are bound to pay the proceeds.

Confirmed L/C

These are the types of L/Cs for which exporter’s bank lends all sorts of surety for advance of payment.

Confirmed & Irrevocable L/C

There are the types of L/Cs which combine merits & benefits of Irrevocable & Confirmed L/C.

Transferable L/C

These are the types of L/Cs which entitle the beneficiary to request the bank to make the credit available to one or more other parties. An L/C may be called transferable if it is expressly designated so by the issuing bank. Bank charges in respects of transfers are paid by the first beneficiary unless otherwise instructed.

B/B L/C

These are the types of L/Cs which are opened against an original master L/C.

Red Clause L/C

This L/Cs entitles exporters to receive his credit without even producing export documents to the bank.

Sight L/C

Sight L/C implies “Make payment when you see the documents in order”. When an exporter ships goods & presents the documents to the negotiating bank, it will credit the proceeds to the exporter account immediately after seeing the documents in order.

License L/C

This is a type of L/C by which payment from L/C opening bank to the negotiating bank is made after a period of time as stipulated in the L/C. The time period may by 30/60/90/120/180 days. Such L/C may include “at 60 days sight with interest to be borne by the L/C opener”. Such clause makes the License L/C into a sight L/C & if you present your export documents to the negotiating bank would make you full payment if the documents are in order.

Revolving L/C

This is a type of L/C which entitles the beneficiary to draw money from the L/C a numbers of times to the tune stipulated in the document. The amount is automatically replenished for further drawing. Usually L/C opening bank does not open a revolving L/C for the buyer unless he has a much bigger credit line.

 Idea about at Sight L/C.

Sight L/C implies “Make payment when you see the documents in order”. When an exporter ships goods & presents the documents to the negotiating bank, it will credit the proceeds to the exporter account immediately after seeing the documents in order.

FORWARDING AND CONSOLIDATION

FORWARDING AND CONSOLIDATION

 Activities of forwarding companies

The Federal Law dd. June 30,2003 “On Forwarding Activities” was adopted by the State Duma on June 11,2003.

Chapter 1, General Provisions, determines the subject matter of this Federal Law, provides that terms of a freight forwarding contract not provided by this Federal Law, other federal laws or other legal acts of the Russian Federation.

The Chapter as well provides that the above rules shall also define the list of forwarding documents (documents evidencing conclusion of a freight forwarding contract); requirements to quality of forwarding services; procedure for providing forwarding services.
Chapter 2,. The Chapter sets forth that a forwarding agent shall not be entitled to withdraw from orders of a customer unless it is required in customer’s interests and a forwarding company due to circumstances beyond its control was not able to beforehand request a customer over consent thereof to such withdrawal or receive an answer within twenty four hours as it provided by a freight forwarding contract.
The Chapter as well provides that a company shall not be entitled to proceed to fulfill liabilities thereof laid down by a freight forwarding contract unless required documents.
The Chapter as well determines that a forwarding company providing services for a customer for personal, family, home and other purposes not connected with business activities performed by a customer shall be obliged to provide information envisaged by the legislation of the Russian Federation on protection of consumers upon the request of a customer.

Chapter 4, Claims and Complaints, sets forth the procedure of presenting of claims and complaints to a forwarding company, provides limitation period. The Chapter as well sets forth the procedure for bringing this Law into effect.

 YARN SUPPLIER

 Idea about yarn supplier like; square spinning, prime spinning, padma spinning;

Spinning is a process where textile fibers turn into yarn with twist or without twist.

Spinning System:

Dry Spinning→ Synthetic Fiber
Ring Spinning→ Natural Fiber (12 Count-110 Count)
Rotor Spinning→ Natural Fiber (03 Count-20 Count
Wet Spinning→ Synthetic Fiber
Friction Spinning→ Natural Fiber
Melt Spinning→ Synthetic Fiber

Flow Chart of Ring Spinning

Card yearn flow chart (Ring Spinning)

Importance of USTER report:

CSP
Count
Twist (TPI = Twist per Inch)
IPI (Imper faction Index)-How much Thick+Thin+Neps in 1000 Mtrs fabric.
TPI Standard 30 Count = 18.75-20
Production Capacity: Per day production capacity for Ring Spinning is 22 tons and 08 tons for Rotor Spinning. Radiance Group produces yarn for its own need which is 70 % of total production and 30 % of production sells to other party.

Evaluation: Spinning Mill is very important for garments Industry. Which companies Backward Linkage is so strong their lead time will be short, cost will be low and maintain buyer very smoothly. Radiance Group Spinning Mill set-up is very nice. Radiance Group is doing Ring and Rotor Spinning. I think they should develop Friction Spinning→ Natural Fibre, Dry Spinning→ Synthetic Fibre, Wet Spinning→ Synthetic Fibre and Melt Spinning→ Synthetic Fibre.

CHITTAGONG PORT

 CHITTAGONG PORT

The Port of Chittagong is the largest seaport in Bangladesh, located by the estuary of the KarnaphuliRiver in Patenga, near the city of Chittagong. It is a deepwater seaport dominated by trade in containerized manufactured products (especially garments, jute and jute goods, leather products, fertilisers and seafood), raw materials and to a lesser extent passengers. It is one of the two main sea port of Bangladesh – most of the export and import of the country are handled via this port. Window berthing system was introduced at the seaport on August 6, 2007, enabling the sea port to provide the arrival and departure times of all ships. Two berths at the port terminal are kept in reserve for emergency. In 2006 the port handled 27 million tonnes of cargo and 0.8 million tonnes of containers. The port handled 1.5 million TEUs (twenty equivalent units) containers in 2010-11, up from 12.12 lakh TEUs in the previous year, according to the CPA Traffic Department.

Early history

The history of Chittagong port dates back to the fourth century B.C. Malayan history chronicles the journey of the sailor Buddha Gupta from Chittagong to Malaya in the 4th century B.C.The Periplus of the ErythraeanSea documents the existence of Chittagong port in the ancient times. Chittagong derives its name from the Arabic word Shetgang (Shet means delta and Gang the river). The Arab traders considered Chittagong to be the delta of the Ganges.

Chittagong port has been mentioned in the works of Ptolemy, Fa-hien, Hieu-en tsng, and Ibn Battuta. This was an important port used by the traders from the Middle East, China, Turkey, Europe to trade with this part of the world.

During the 9th century the activities of the port increased tremendously as the Arab traders started using the port as their base port. They used to call the port “Samunda”. The port was under their control at the time.

The 16th century saw the arrival of the Portuguese. Joaoda Silveria was the first Portuguese Captain to reach the port. He arrived with his ship “LOPO SOANA” in 1517. The Portuguese named the Port PORTE GRANDE (a great Port). The records show that the Porte Grande offered easy access and safe anchorage to ships of 20 feet draught.

20.3. ETP Operation Procedure and What are the Chemical Used in ETP for Treatment

The operation procedure of ETP In NORTHERN TOSRIFA INDUSTRY LTD. are explained below-

1st step; Dyeing water send to the Equalization Tank at first time.

2nd step; Than this water transfer to the Aeration Tank and use air blowing for controlling PH and use Decolorant for color band breaking.

3rd step: After that this water sends to the Clarifier Tank by using fitting pump, bacteria will mix in this tank.

4th step: The water sends to the Clarifier Tank from Sludge Thickener Tank. Here use scraping bridge which is moving all time over this tank by moving scraping bridge then the bacteria will gather one place and the purification water will go in cannel or river by out line drain. On the other hand the gathered bacteria will go in distribution tank through recycling process. Then this bacterium will mix again with dyeing water.

 CONCLUSIONS

In conclusion I can say that is internship report is really essential for every students of AMM Dept. By completing this report I have already got overall idea of RMG sector and these may be helpful to know about the technical and management knowledge of apparel industry also these sector related organizations.

RECOMMENDATIONS

NORTHERN TOSRIFA INDUSTRY LTD. is the leading position knit/woven manufacturing company in the Bangladesh. It creates outstanding reputation in the global market for excellence. It is a composite factory that’s why they have all the sector of knit item like spinning, knitting, dyeing, printing, embroidery, accessories, and garments production.

In my observation of this company have some lacking points, if they recover those point I think they can improve rapidly with good reputation.

Supply chain or procurement department plays a vital role to ensure right time delivery, right price and good quality. So day by day increasing the demand of this department now a days most of the big company open this department. But in this company merchandiser procure all the raw materials of garments that’s why they feel more pressure to complete shipment and some time also over the shipment date then company should pay the extra money for air shipment. So when supply chain department procure all the raw materials then merchandiser can easily shipment the goods within lead time.
The importance of MIS is increasing rapidly. For smooth communication and preserve data this department is too much important in the twenty first centaury. But in this Company don’t have any MIS department. If they use this department I think they can communicate with buyer, suppliers and internal department more Firstar. On the other hand top management can take smooth decision within short time.
Increase the power of work study department because productivity is an important thing of apparel industry. In this company the work study department employee cant take any major decision and take action towards the production people, so if they get this power I think productivity will be increase.
Quality management system should be modernized because quality is the top priority of all international buyer.
Increase the working environment of every department.
Increase the salary level of non technical person.
Compliance department should be more active.
Recruit subject related person in all the department.
Make some beautiful garden inside the factory area.

If the company implement all the above mention points I think within short time their position will be leading not only in Bangladesh but also in the world.
