Conceptual Framework

According to BKMEA (2011) RMG contributes 75% of total exports in Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi garment industry is gaining ground in the world market at breakneck speed, but still not flourished at its fullest extent. Already the resources are available plentiful with a powerful foundation of fabric and spinning sector to support. The key factors behind this low technological development, lower output, cut throat competition, high raw material cost, inadequate infrastructure, traditional productivity, unfavorable regulatory policies, and globalization impact. However, there is a fair list of producers, suppliers, and exporters that are fully acknowledged with regulatory policies and formalities, international marketing policies and procedures. The only concern is in executing their productivity initiatives, and with order deadlines. Merchandiser has to understand the buyer’s requirements after receiving specification in the sample order. In many cases, there are modifications pertaining to the specifications in the order to dispatch on time and the right quality. He has to talk with the in-house veterans on the execution problems of sample orders, as the right information is required in decision making.

Engr. Md. Faruk Hosen (2010) Merchandiser has to manage every single production schedule and order route card that helps to follow-up the execution in the planned way. Merchandiser plans the activities depending on the essential or non-essentials, and top priority is given to the most essential tasks. In a daily schedule, merchandiser has to carry out and categorize is the most significant and urgent task. To get update on the current status on the order, the route cards should be utilized. The latest status can be fed into the computers. In case, the buyer ask for the goods prior to the deadline, then merchandiser has to reorganize the schedules to accomplish tasks, output capacity, no. of pieces to be produced daily, substitute arrangements, time availability, supply time, scheduling

Critical ratio etc. Merchandiser control the mark-up and margins, to cover expenses and to produce a profit in the buying budget

Medule Pal Mantua (2011) Today’s garments Commercial have to move with frequent changes in demand and the developing technologies utilized in manufacturing and production. To find out customer requirements, they regularly visit retail outlets, and come up with latest updates from frontline staff. In order to keep an eye on developments in sourcing, site visits are made every week to mainland factories to meet suppliers and study production. In garment Commercial, there is no specific rule, so it’s important to able to think on one’s feet.  Commercial and Merchandiser follows-up and takes total responsibility of an order form booking to shipment and beyond, for the customer who placed it and for his company’s management.

M.A. Razzaque (2010) the order is the first ‘official’ document that the vendor will receive from the buyer (Customer).  Every order describes the product and orders a certain quantity, at a negotiated price, to be delivered by a certain date.

“Commercial” is termed as the person who trade-offs the goods, especially for export purposes.

Kitty G. Dickerson (2009) A Commercial and merchandiser is the only one who can remove the problems. He studies the P.O. sheets from point to point. Commercial and Merchandisers make key decisions that what can be created for the next years fashion trends. This decision must be based upon an in-depth under standing of their company’s target market. This requires current, accurate and reliable information. Apparel merchandisers must participate in developing the proper marketing mix for their target markets. The primary variables involved in the marketing mix can be expressed by the four ‘P’s of marketing. They are- product, creating the right garment in terms of

silhouette, fabric, color and fit for the current needs of the target market. Product also includes the proper product mix within a line of clothing. 

According to Executive Director of Commercial Department of Shovon Group of Companies Limited: Export processing for the Garments Product Ltd. Commercial Play is a vital role of foreign Exchange Business.

According to Commercial Manager of Shovon Group of Companies Limited;   Export capacity is vital in the Commercial activates. Who Commercial is efficient in the Export capacity this Commercial easily provide garments at a time.  

Commercial Means Something related to buying and selling things here is a sentence; the Commercial future of the company look very promising.

Commercial is the same as commercial, if we are using the word in Spanish or Portuguese. If we are writing in English it means we can not spell.

Commercial Department

In Shovon Group of Companies Limited of Commercial Department has a vital role for developing skilled, efficient, dynamic manpower that easily perform their Commercial activities for just time shipment. Shovon Group of Companies Limited of Industries has goodwill in the market for quality garments provide and just time shipment.

Merchandisers should have a proper marketing strategy. They should examine the factors involved in developing a detailed understanding a target market. Evaluate the importance of market segmentation and alternate marketing and proper methods of data collection and industry information sources. Merchandisers make key decisions that what can be created for the next years fashion trends. This decision must be based upon an in-depth under standing of their company’s target market. This requires current, accurate and reliable information.

Social changes, work ethics, leisure-time activities, music movies, the arts, physical fitness, vacation choice, eating trends, attitudes, philosophies of life, geopolitics, reading habits, language, the global economy and even climatic changes all have an effect on fashion preferences.

  • The Commercial plays a vital role in strategic planning along with Export processing, sales, production, finance and administration.
  • Commercial must ensure timely line development in accordance with banker needs and the company’s capacity and capability.
  • The Commercial must integrate company functions within the total supply chain, which is very complex in connection with global sourcing of both raw materials and Exporting System.
  • In large companies, the Commercial coordinates inter company activates with other department.

There are some tools which are the helping agents for proper planning and controlling. Marketing calendar is a base of company planning. It establishes the line preview date, which is the date when management will review proposed style with sales; the line release date, which is when the line will be available for sale or retailers; the sales plan and the shipping plan. The Commercial calendar is the primary control tool in an apparel company. It establishes responsibilities and deadlines for all key events for a session.

 Sourcing Options

  • Producers (Mills, factories, etc. Large producers will usually sell though through regional sales offices).
  • Distributors (Middlemen/ Agent).
  • Converters (purchase fabrics from these mills and then print or dye the fabric before selling it).

The activity involves ordering of fabric and its important points to be taken care of during this activity are:

  • Accurate computation of the requirement. This is essential to ensure that during bulk production the materials do not fall short nor are they in access and there are leftovers after the order is shipped. An accurate calculation of material requirement can be done if the BOM (bill of materials) as provided by the buyer in the specifications sheet is studied thoroughly. Apart from just ensuring that the quantity is correct the BOM also helps in checking that all materials required in completion of the order are ordered and nothing has been missed out.
  • Selecting the best vendor for the materials in terms of Quality, Price, and Delivery

  • Negotiate the price with supplier.

Above mention process also require in case of imported goods

Process of Production Planning

To make production plan we have to consider below mention thing-

Garments Analysis

Garments analysis is very important to make production schedule & know about the operation capacity, so that the specific job will be complete smoothly.

Balance Load & Capacity

  • Load=How much work we are putting on section
  • Load= contract size X work content
  • Capacity: How much work a section in capable of completing.
  • Capacity = No of worker X working minute X Efficiency X percents

Arrange the program of works, so that load can be achieved, after balancing load &            capacity we make a proper production plan that help us achieve production target     within time boundary.

 Sea freight-

Sea freight is charge one a volume (CBM) basic. Firstly, the volume of a carton is calculated by multiplying the length by the width also by the height of the carton. Secondly the freight charges for the delivered merchandise can be calculated by multiplying the volume of a carton by the total number of needed carton by the price charged per cubic meter (CBM).

Sea freight charges = volume per carton in CBM X number of carton X cost of sea freight per CBM

Where volume per carton (CBM)

= (Length (cm) / 100) X (width (cm) / 100) X (Height (cm) / 100)

OR

= length (Inc) X Width (Inc) X Height (Inc) / 1728 X 35032

Air freight

Air freight changed may changed it may weight basic or volume basic, most of the cases it depends which is grater.

Air charged basing on volume weight = Volume weight per carton (Kg) X number of carton x cost of air freight per Kg

Where, Volume weight per carton (kg)

= Length (Cm) X width (cm) x Height (cm) / 6000

Or

= Length (Inc) X weight (Inc) X Height (Inc) / 366

Important Documentations

Proper documentation leads proper management. In garments merchandising, the merchandisers has to maintain all of the documents perfectly. A single mistake or wrong information can hamper a huge production. Every year many of our Bangladeshi garments get defeat of huge amounts because of miss documentation or miss understanding the documents. Some important documentation is described below.

 Sourcing Documents

One of the essential elements of sourcing is the documentation and formulation of agreements involving the parties concerned. A thorough understanding of the documentation involved in sourcing is a key requirement for a merchandiser. Once the buyer and exporter have entered into the Underlying Contract, it is followed by formulation of the Letter of Credit, which acts as the primary document for all further transactions and documentation. There are a couple of additional documents accompanying the Letter of Credit, mentioned hereunder.

  • Bill of Lasing
  • Insurance Documents
  • Invoice
  • Certificates of Origin
  • Order Confirmation Documents
  • Import Documents
