INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT OF Divine Group of Industries Limited (DGI).
2. Introduction
The industrial attachment is the process, which builds understanding, skills and attitude of the performer, which improves his knowledge in boosting productivity and services. University education provides us vast theoretical knowledge as well as more practical attachment, in despite of all these industrial attachment helps us to be familiar with technical support of modern machinery, skillness about various processing stages.
It also provides me sufficient practical knowledge about production management, work study, efficiency, industrial management, purchasing, utility and maintenance of machinery and their operation techniques etc. The above mentioned cannot be achieved successfully by means of theoretical knowledge only. This is why it should be accomplished with practical knowledge in which it is based on. Industrial attachment makes me reliable to be accustomed with the industrial atmosphere and improve courage and inspiration to take self-responsibility.
Textile education can’t be completed without industrial training. Because this industrial training minimizes the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge and make us accustomed to industrial environment. I got an opportunity to complete two-month long industrial training at Divine Group Ltd. In the field of ever changing moderns fashion work Divine Group Ltd. considers it prime mission to every new test.

20. Method of marker making in garments:
Marker can be made either in –
1. Manual method
2. Computerized method.
a. Digitizing system
b. Scanning system
Computerized marker making method is of two (2) types. They are -
1. Automatic Marker Making.
2. Interactive Method.
Interactive Method is used in Crossline Knit Fabrics Ltd. It is a common process, here the marker planner plan markers by interacting directly with the system through a computer screen. All the pattern pieces are displayed in the miniature form at the top of the screen. They are dragged & dropped in the marker area. After placing of all pattern pieces, it is possible to see the data like marker efficiency, marker length, and marker width etc. information just below the parallel lines. After completion of marker making, it is saved in the computer memory & it is possible to take the printout of the marker any time.
Efficiency Measure:
Total placed area x 100%
Formula: Total marker efficiency% =
Length x Diameter
Efficiency (usually get)
For Tank top - 75%
For trouser - 78%
or t shirt - 85%
For polo shirt - 85%
N.B.: If a garment consist smaller parts then there efficiency is higher than the larger parts of a garment.
21. Fabric wastage:
1. Inside wastage
2. Outside wastage
Ends of fabric losses: Sometimes some allowance needed to keep during fabric spreading. Usually 2” each side, total 4” each ply wastage occurs
Selvedge losses: Each fabric has two selvedges. 2-3% wastage occurs
Purchase losses: For wrong consumption purchase losses occurs.
22. CHAPTER -4
SAMPLE SECTION
Sampling in garment exports and its importance:
Sampling of garments is given great emphasis. It determines the approval of future orders from buyers and fetches business for a garment manufacturing or export company. Sampling is one of key elements of the pre-production processes in a garment industry. Before a manufacturer produces bulk orders, a prior sampling of styles is done to get approvals and jumpstart the fabrication of garments. Samples of garments work as a bridge between buyers and the producers.

Description of different types of samples:
24. FIT Sample/Develop:
Once proto sample is approved, FIT is being made with actual measurement. Modification on the pattern is done to get desired fit of the garment. FIT is one of the most important factor to be considered during sample development. FIT sample is being tested on live model or Dress form for to verify garment fit and fall.
Size set Sample:
The purpose of the size set is to check fit of the garment in different sizes. In this stage factory develops samples in multiple sizes. Generally, buyers ask size set sample in jump sizes, like S, L, and XXL. Buyer check size set sample and give feedback to factory if anything need to be corrected.
Pre-production Sample (PP sample):
All the above samples are made in sampling department. Buyer wants pre-production sample (PP sample) to be made in actual production line, so that operators know what they are going to make. This sample is made with actual fabric, trims and accessories and made by sewing line tailors. PP sample must be approved by buyer or buying house merchants (technical persons) prior to proceeding actual production.
Top of Production Sample (TOP sample):
Once production is online, few pieces is taken out in the middle of the production. Production pieces are sent to buyer as TOP sample. All buyers do not ask for TOP sample. Purpose is to cross- check whether factory is following PP sample specification or not.
Shipment Sample:
When style is being finished and packed for shipment, 2-3 finished and packed pieces with all packing details are kept for future reference. Shipment sample is kept by factory merchants and buyers merchant. The approved shipment is sent directly to warehouse and merchants at the buyer do not get garment out of the shipment. That is why they keep shipment sample for future reference.

36. Sewing thread:
Sewing threads are special kinds of yarns that are engineered and designed to pass through a sewing machine rapidly. They form efficient stitches without breaking or becoming distorted during the useful life of the product. The basic function of a thread is to deliver aesthetics and performance in stitches and seams.
Factors affecting performance
Thread used in garments must be durable enough to withstand the abrasion and needle heat that occur while sewing, garment finishing, stretching and recovery during wear.
Thread performance in garments can be evaluated from its-
Seam strength
Abrasion resistance
Elasticity
Chemical resistance
Flammability
Colour fastness
Types of sewing thread:
Cotton
Polyester
Silk
linen

EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT (ETP)
Effluent treatment plant is essential to purify the waste water which is come from different types of manufacturing industry like textile , dyes and chemical manufacturing industry ,pharmaceutical etc. different environment saving organization are trying to protect the environment from the harmful effect of the effluent. Different waste water has different characteristics which pollute the water.
Process flow chart of effluent treatment with effluent treatment plant:
Following is the basic structure of effluent treatment plant-
Effluent from different manufacturing industry
↓
Primary filtration
↓
Cooling and mixing
↓
Neutralization (by acid or alkali)
↓
Chemical co-agulation
↓
Settling and separation of sludge
↓

Now I like to give a short description about the sequence of operation in ETP:
44. Primary filtration:
It is the first stage of effluent treatment plant, where effluent is come from weaving, dying, printing, or finishing unit. Here primary filtration is performed to remove solid waste particles.
Cooling and mixing:
In this stage, different types of effluent are mixed and cool down by the help of motor which ran a fan.
Neutralization tank:
After cooling and mixing; effluent is transferred to neutralization tank by the help of pump. Here acid or alkali is mixed to neutralize the effluent. A pH meter is placed in the neutralization tank
Co-agulant bath:
After neutralization of effluent; effluent is transferred to a co-agulant bath. Here co-agulant is added with the effluent.
Setting tank:
In here; effluent separates from the water and it found in the lower level of the tank. Effluent is like as sludge.
Pressure filter:
Here, filtration is done under pressure. A certain amount of pressure is created here.
Carbon filtration: It is an optional filter process.
Discharge to drain:
After completion of all the process, the effluent becomes purify and it becomes safe to drain to the environment. When treated water is drain to the environment it is checked by the different testing lab. Different standard is maintained during discharge of the treated effluent.

Line target given process:
Generally two methods for line target
1. Theoretical method- theoretical SMV calculation and then given target, first this method following for line target.
57. 2. Practical method- it is the second and best method.in this method first line capacity find out and then analyze. Then given target
Line capacity determination process
Input & output check
Find out the time required for each process
Find out the average SMV for making garments
Then find out the line capacity
If one garment needed 15 process to complete where average time required 0.30 minutes with fatigue allowance , then line capacity will be =(60/0.30)pcs=200pcs
Problem identification & solution:
If the production target not achieved that time following steps taken-
1. Check the inputs
2. Check the line in process where may contains m/c problem operator or helper problem
3. If machine problem-
Check the m/c condition
If parts problem replace the parts
If machine not work properly then replace the machine
4. If helper needed then properly then attach the helper
5. If operator problem then discuss with operator and solve. If operator even not gives better result, then replace the operator
Production duration determination process:
First prepare the production plan(SMV, no. machines & operator, production hour & day)
Select the line number, total no. of line
Calculate the time required to complete the production
58. CONCLUSION
There is large difference between the theatrical knowledge and practical experience. This is truer in case of the study of textile technology industrial attachment or industrial training is an essential part for textile education because it minimizes the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge. This industrial training increases our through a lot about textile technology. It also helps us to know a lot about industrial production process, machineries and industrial management and make us suitable for industrial life.
From my experience of six weeks in this organization I have learnt many things. The most important is that practical professional life is very hectic, competitive and tough. The best thing, which I am able to find out, is that the stronger the culture of the organization better will be the productivity.
Divine textile ltd. It’s a wonder and well decorated and clean industry. The all section of this industry is very nice and all machines are in good operating condition. A lot of order comes to the industry from buyer & buying house. The production rate is very good. Overall the working condition is very nice of the industry.
I have completed my industrial attachment from Divine textile ltd. During my two month long industrial training at Divine textile ltd. I got the impression that this factory is the modern export oriented composite knit garments of our country. This factory does not compromise in case of quality. So they have established quality control of each product. Besides they also use the good quality yarn, dyes and chemical in their production process. It has very well educated and technically experienced manpower to get rid of any defect in production process.
Achievements:
In the industrial training I have learnt various things in more practically but prime achievements are-
Being familiar with all departments.
Being familiar with process sequence of sewing and garments making.
Gathering vast knowledge on garments making, cutting, and sewing.
Detecting & minimizing the garments fault from technical point of view.
Knowing how the order is received & go to bulk production.
Learning on textile machineries & equipment’s.
Controlling & operation of industrial management
59. Some suggestions:
There are some suggestions from us with in our limitation knowledge:
Knitting production needs to increase as well as technical persons need to be employed there & needs increase machineries
More skilled labor should be used in a project and the overall efficiency will increase
Should increasing understanding between the top level personal and floor level person
Dyeing floor space should be needed increase
Due to pressure of higher production sometimes machine operators do not maintain accurate time according to the actual process so that less quality product is produced and may reject. So our suggestion is to increase machine and reduce the pressure on the operator
In knitting section every workers should use mask to make protect them from fly. Otherwise the exhaust air should be more effective.
The person at the top level of a department must take good care of the trainees & he should provide all kind support to them.
Limitation of this report:
Because of secrecy act, the data on costing and marketing activities have not been supplied.
Due to lack of time it was not possible to collect more data.
Some points in different chapters are not including as there were not available.
It is not possible to hold the whole thing of a textile industry in such a small frame a report. So, try hard to summarize all the information that provided.
