Visiting the operational sites of various departments. The main aim is to obtain a physical feel of
the departments and observe the activities performed by it, and it's important to the whole
organization.
This study has been conducted using primary and secondary data. The data were collected with
the help of questionnaire; interview and observation. Two sources are used for collection of data.
The history of the Albanian textile and garment industry lies in an almost 40 years
period of state owned enterprises, which operated under the centralized socialist economy. The
previous industry production was derived through a large domestic value-added chain that used
to produce from fiber until final product. Industry mainly supplied the domestic market, while
exports were managed by a single government agency. After 1990, most of the enterprises went
through a privatization process. A significant part of these enterprises didnt change their
destination, they kept producing textiles and garments but their activity was now concentrated on
production under outward processing regime of clothes which comprise the majority of the
Albanias exports. The industry inputs are mainly supplied by imports, using the cheap labor
advantage. The garment firms have no special technological processes, no marketing strategies
and poorvertical integration; consequently leaving abroad most of the value added in this sector.
Exports and imports are interconnected as a result of re-exportation. Imports mainly consist of
semi-final products, which are re-exported after a few assembling operations. Garment export
and import levels have been characterized by an increasing trend.
The main products of this industry are suits, trousers, jackets, shirts and t-shirts, cotton intimate
clothes,
2. Processors
Skills would be design, innovation and marketing for niche markets for which they feel risk-
averse. Packaging takes place as part of assembling processes, based on specifications and
3. Buyers
D. Key Competitors
Domestic: high number of companies operating in the OPT production, drives competition
between them for orders and processes of foreign companies to take place in Albania.
Productivity is based on cheap unit labor and production organization efficiency only.
Developments in the international market influence trends in Albanian clothing production
Germany is the largest importer of outer garments in the EU with roughly 17 billion Euros, of
which 48% are purchased from developing countries through re-import or direct import . Imports
of tricots/pullovers, etc for women along with woven trousers for men and women have
increased significantly. Turkey is the main supplier of the German market of outer garments
occupying 14% of Germanys total imports, followed by Italy, China, Poland (mainly re-
imports), Romania (mainly re-imports), Netherlands, Greece, Bangladesh, etc.
Great Britain is the second largest European importer. British producers use OPT to cover 78%
of imported knitted garments and 73% of imported woven garments. British imports have
recorded growth several products: tricots, pullovers for men and women, tshirts, woven garments
such as trousers, skirts, sport suits, and shawls. On the other hand, woven suit and gloves imports
have dropped. China, Turkey and Hong Kong are the main exporters of garments in the British
market. France is also a large importer in the EU. Developing countries supply 46% of its
imports. Italy, Morocco, Tunisia, etc. are the main exporters in the French market.
Limitations
The energy crisis has been one of the key reasons that brought several enterprises to
bankruptcy and some others to raise the production cost because they use the
generators.
The poor quality of rural infrastructure makes it difficult to reach interior areas, resulting
in making unattractive the use of domestic raw materials (such as natural wool fiber).
Investments are still required in the four Albanian seaports in order to improve efficiency
of operations.
Communication lines are sufficiently present in urban areas (yet, mobile communication
costs are still high), while the quality of telecommunication is still poor in rural areas.
The Internet can be accessed from almost any major Albanian city.
Though the positive growth rates through the years, the industry does not represent the
Clustering potentials, since the actors work independently and not willing to develop processes
and designs. Lack of supply basis, skills in various business aspects such as marketing, design,
human management, technical skills on textiles, make difficult the upgrade of industry in the
short-run. There is no clear strategy on both the private and government side, for determining
future path of industry development. The vision remains just surviving. develop marketing
strategies and invest in human resources development in design and management.
Cottage stage
There are some indications that weaving was already known in the Palaeolithic. An
indistinct textile impression has been found at Pavlov, Moravia. Neolithic textiles are well
known from finds in pile dwellings in Switzerland. One extant fragment from the Neolithic was
found inFayum at a site which dates to about 5000 BCE.
The key British industry at the beginning of the 18th century was the production
of textiles made with wool from the large sheep-farming areas in the Midlands and across the
country (created as a result of land-clearance and enclosure). This was a labor-intensive activity
providing employment throughout Britain, with major centers being the West Country; Norwich
and environs; and the West Riding of Yorkshire. The export trade in woolen goods accounted for
more than a quarter of British exports during most of the 18th century, doubling between 1701
and 1770. Exports of the cotton industry centered in Lancashire had grown tenfold during this
time, but still accounted for only a tenth of the value of the woolen trade. Prior to the 17th
century, the manufacture of goods was performed on a limited scale by individual workers. This
was usually on their own premises (such as weavers' cottages) and goods were transported
around the country. Clothiers visited the village with their trains of pack-horses. Some of the
cloth was made into clothes for people living in the same area, and a large amount of cloth was
exported. Rivers navigations were constructed, and some contour-following canals. In the early
18th century, artisans were inventing ways to become more productive. Silk, Wool, Fustian,
and Linen were being eclipsed by Cotton, which was becoming the most important textile. This
set the foundations for the changes.
In Roman times, wool, linen and leather clothed the European population, and silk,
imported along the Silk Road from China, was an extravagant luxury. The use of flax fiber in the
manufacturing of cloth in Northern Europe dates back to Neolithic times.
During the late medieval period, cotton began to be imported into northern Europe.
Without any knowledge of what it came from, other than that it was a plant, noting its similarities
to wool, people in the region could only imagine that cotton must be produced by plant-borne
sheep. John, writing in 1850, stated as fact the now-preposterous belief: "There grew in India a
wonderful tree which bore tiny lambs on the ends of its branches. These branches were so pliable
that they bent down to allow the lambs to feed when they are hungry." This aspect is retained in
the name for cotton in many European languages, such as German Baumwolle, which translates
as "tree wool". By the end of the 16th century, cotton was cultivated throughout the warmer
regions of Asia and the Americas.
The main steps in the production of cloth are producing the fiber, preparing it, converting
it to yarn, converting yarn to cloth, and then finishing the cloth. The cloth is then taken to the
manufacturer of garments. The preparation of the fibers differs the most, depending on the fiber
used. Flax requires retting and dressing, while wool requires carding and washing.
The spinning and weaving processes are very similar between fibers, however
Spinning evolved from twisting the fibers by hand, to using a drop spindle, to using a spinning
wheel. Spindles or parts of them have been found in archaeological sites and may represent one
of the first pieces of technology available. They were invented in India between 500 and 1000
AD
Industry Sub-Sectors
Industry Structure
The textile and apparel industry is one of the leading segments of the Indian economy and the
largest source of foreign exchange earnings for India. This industry accounts for 4 percent of the
gross domestic product (GDP), 20 percent of industrial output, and slightly more than 30 percent
of export earnings. The textile and apparel industry employs about 38 million people, making it
the largest source of industrial employment in India. The study identifies the following structural
characteristics of Indias textile and apparel industry:
India has the second-largest yarn-spinning capacity in the world (after China), accounting
for roughly 20 percent of the worlds spindle capacity. Indias spinning segment is fairly
modernized; approximately 35 to 40 percent of Indias spindles are less than 10 years old. During
1989-98, India was the leading buyer of spinning machinery, accounting for 28 percent of world
shipments. Indias production of spun yarn is accounted for almost entirely by the organized
mill sector, which includes 285 large vertically-integrated composite mills and nearly 2,500
spinning mills.
India has the largest number of looms in place to weave fabrics, accounting for 64
percent of the worlds installed looms. However, 98 percent of the looms are accounted for by
Indias power loom and handloom sectors, which use mostly outdated equipment and produce
mostly low-value unfinished fabrics. Composite mills account for 2 percent of Indias installed
looms and 4 percent of Indias fabric output.
The handloom and power loom sectors were established with government support,
mainly to provide rural employment. These sectors benefit from various tax exemptions and
other favorable government policies, which ensure that fabrics produced in these sectors are
price competitive against those of composite mills.
Industry
Indias share of global exports of textiles and apparel increased from 1.8 percent in 1980 to 3.3
percent in 1998. However, Indias export growth was lower than that of most Asian countries
during that period. The study identifies a number of competitive strengths of the Indian textile
and apparel industry:
India has a large fiber base, and ranks as the worlds third-leading producer of cotton,
accounting for 15 percent of the worlds cotton crop. India produces a wide variety of
cotton, providing operational flexibility for domestic textile producers. In the manmade
fiber sector, India is the worlds fifth-largest producer of polyester fibers and filament
yarns and the third-largest producer of cellulosic fibers and filament yarns.
India is the worlds second-largest textile producer (after China), and is diversified and
capable of producing a wide variety of textiles. The spinning segment is fairly
modernized and competitive, accounting for about 20 percent of world cotton yarn
exports.
Indias textile and apparel industry benefits from a large pool of skilled workers and
competent technical and managerial personnel. Indias labor is inexpensive; hourly
labor costs in the textile and apparel industry average less than 5 percent of those in the
U.S. textile and apparel industry.
Growth Opportunities
India, with a population of 1 billion people, has a huge domestic market. Indias middle class,
currently estimated at 200 million, is projected to expand to include nearly half the countrys
total population by 2006. Based on purchasing power parity, India is the fourth-largest economy
in the world, has the third-largest GDP in the continent of Asia, and is the second-largest
economy among emerging nations.
India is also one of the fastest growing economies of the world. Although the
disposable income of the majority of the Indian population is low, as the Indian economy grows,
more consumers will have greater discretionary income for clothing and other purchases after
meeting their basic needs. Indias huge domestic market offers the prospect of significant growth
opportunities in domestic textiles and apparel consumption, which is expected to result in
increased trade and foreign investment, especially in certain product sectors. According to a 1999
study, the major growth areas for trade and foreign investment in India will be technical textiles
(e.g., fabrics used in aerospace, marine, medical, civil engineering, and other industrial
applications), home textiles, and apparel. The S.R. Satyam Expert Committee (SEC), constituted
by the GOI, also identified these sectors as having the greatest growth potential and
recommended various measures to promote these sectors.

Carton boxes
The box dimension, printing matter, net weight, packing ratio, size and shade all these
information should be checked.
VISUAL CHECK
The items were checked for shade, color, type, style, write up, etc. as per the
specification sheet. If required, the appropriate trims were washed as per the specification to
ensure that shade variation, bleeding do not takes place.
The department receives the BOM (Bill of Material) from the PPC, which has all
the details of the material to be ordered for a particular order in case of the trims and accessories
of the garment. While for the machine spares, consumables, attachments, etc. The maintenance
department gives the Purchase Requisition to the store department

Garment exports has its own CAD department for varied style garments. Garments are made
with the help of CAD software.
Markers
Markers are layout of pattern pieces for the purpose of cutting. Great effort is made to
arrange patterns in the most material economizing manner, within the constraints of fabric type,
width, nap and fabric designs (e.g.,. plaid or stripes). This marking is done using the marker
making software.
Align edges to minimize the number of turns for the automatic cutter.
Pieces should have a common cutting line or be separated.
Dont let curves touch flat edges or sharp corners.
No sharp corners in the selvage (upper one half inch of the marker)
CUTTING ROOM
Firstly the fabric is issued according to style no, lot no, shrinkage% and left for relaxing.
Then one sixe pattern making is done and is checked by placing the hard pattern over it.
Bulk cutting
Note: If sharpening of blade is uneven/ inconsistent, it would result in uneven depth of notch
marks and variation in cutting too
For Band knife cutting, patterns preferably made of tin should be used.
The patterns used for band knife must be changed regularly upon monitoring the wear
and tear on the pattern, due to frequent usage.
Numbering
Numbering plan must be given by the numbering incharge, specifying the style #, colour,
P.O No., Serial No,. No. Of garments cut, sizes.
All the parts shall be numbered in a pre determined sequence and at pre determined
location.
Numbering stickers gum strength (Light/Medium/Heavy) has to be decided keeping in
mind the kind of fabric being cut.
Cuts shall be bundled in to a pre determined bundle size and will be segregated size wise
and stored in bags.
Bags shall be store in racks batch wise.
Issues of cut bundles to batches be done out as per the loading plan.
Bundled tags will have details such as lot no, serial no, size, bundle no.
Mention shade category (A, B, C) on the cut panels for easy identification and tracking.
Layers shall mark both end bits with roll number, cut- lot number, mater age all the bits
every lay shall be bundled and given to re-cutting department.
End bits should be always laid face up, no change in laying procedure without prior
information from the in charge.
End bits should be placed separately (Shade wise) to avoid discrepancies, the roll &
taka number should be written and staked separately.
.
Sampling department directly co-ordinates with the merchandising and production department.
Sampling is done to see the 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 buyers
specification.
Merchandiser procures order from the buyer. The buyer spends specification sheet,
sketch, fabric details, stitch type etc to the merchandiser. Merchandiser fills the information
along with the details regarding costing, average, size set and approval into a style package and
hands it over to the sampling department head.
Sampling is the product development stage. It is a process by which small numbers of
garments are made of as to match the buyer requirement and to get approval from the buyer so as
to start off production. The sampled garments represent the accuracy of the patterns and quality
of production skills and technique.
Types of Samples
Proto Sample.
Fit Sample.
Pilot Run Sample.
Pre Production Sample.
Pre Size Set.

Shipment Sample.
After the confirmation of the order, each sample sent to the buyer has the following
details attached to it with the help of a tag. It contains the details pertaining to both what the
buyer has demanded and what supplement fabric they have used.
Ref no.

SEWING DEPARTMENT
The production floor does production in two types, once during pilot run production
where they have to produce about 150-200 garment for new style.
After receiving all these details they send a request for the cut parts from the cutting and
sorting section and the request is sent to the accessories that are required for the particular style
then start the production then they start the production for the new style.
Before starting the production the production floor does a process of batch setting for the
floor which is training the operators fpr the new style that has to be produced bulk, this teaching
session will go on for 3 4 days maximum. After this batch setting process the production for
the next day starts with the smaller commitment i.e., may before 50 pieces for the entire day and
then the production gradually increase from 50-100-150 and so on, this will make the operators
learn slowly and precisely about the process that has to be carried out for the particular style.
Once the cut parts is received from the cutting and sorting section then the parts are
prepared and assembled according to the line that is planned. After the assembling of the parts is
done then there will be a line checking, where the shade matching and measurements are
checked and sent.
The flow of material in the production floor is through the bundle system and each
operator gets a bundle containing similar pieces and there will be about 15-20 pieces each bundle
and the operator completely finishes the jobs and sends it to the next operator to do the next
operation on them. Each bundle will contain same component of different garments. The
movement of materials within the operators in the batch line is generally zigzag motion which is
followed.
The production manager helps the planning department during planning or allocating
a particular line for the style by telling them the capacity of the line and also telling them the
capacity of the line and also telling them about the skills of the operators. Then has the
production moves on parts checking report is maintained near the check points in which the
garment partially finished are checked and corrected if any defects noticed. Then finally target
report is maintained in which the target %, achieved target, dispatch target is noted down per day.
The production time any kind of style is just-45 days. Any the number of production may
vary from one buyer to another but the completion time rests the same.
MAINTAINENCE ROOM
MACHINE MAINTAINENCE
A part from having quality system and the best practices, machine maintenance is also
a very importance is to get quality for products. Unacceptable quality for products often results
ill-maintained machine. Break down and prevent maintenance is primarily aimed towards
reduced down time and increased life respectively, Proper machine maintenance is also necessary
to avoid causalities at the floor. The function of preventive maintenance includes
The finishing department is the department which comes after all the department and
it place an equally importance role in the final appearance of the garment. This department
includes majority of the following steps.
Shank attaching
Firstly, the marking of the buttons placing are marked in the marking section units. Then the
button is fixed with the button stitching machine.
The machine does not have a feed teeth instead there is another place known as Feed
Plate only but not teeth like structure as the other.
Instead of pressure foot like in other machine there a work lamp on the both sides which holds
the button in-between and gets sewn along the two holes while the fabric is placed.
Bobbin winding in this machine is fixed on top of the machine. It gets winded as the stitching is
being performed.
After the button is attached then from the wrong side wrapping is done so that the button does
not get removed. The machine operation used for this is wrapping and knotting machine.
TRIMMING
This involves the removal of extra threads from the garments at the stitched area:
PRESSING
The pressing is done after the garment has been completely inspected and the garments are
pressed on the basis of how they will be folded during packing.
SEMI PRESSING
This happens when a garment is difficult to inspect in the crushes manner as it comes
from the washing department hence, they do a partial pressing for the garment and then inspect it
and trim it and then send it to the complete pressing process.
CHECKING
The 3 main checking processes are followed before passing it to the next section i.e.
Final checking.
Presentation checking.
Measurement checking.
Before packing, the garments are passed through the metal detector machine in which
metal items like needle points are removed from this machine. It is mainly used for checking in
children garment so that no harm is made to the customers. This machine is made of magnetic so
it identifies any metal piece in the garment when passed through it.
PACKING
The packing is always done in the cartoon boxes and these are several criteria for the
packing of the garments they are as follows
The garment is individually packed/ wrapped in the poly bag those design will be
specified by the buyer i.e. either with the hanger attached or plain poly bag packing and
then entire garment (as per the packing criteria) is arranged in the cartoon box.
The other method is that the garments are just folded and arranged in the cartoon box
without putting them in the poly bag.
The packing criteria followed in each cartoon box as already mentioned is done in different ways
which is as follows;
Solid Packing
In this method of packing, the cartoon box will include garments of single color and
name size.
For example: 20 shirts of a similar color and the size says will be put in one box.
Ratio packing
In this method the cartoon box includes garments of same color but of different sizes
according to the ratio;
For example; S: M: L: XL-5:7:7:5
Mixed packing
In this method the cartoon box include garments of different color but of same sizes in a
particular ratio form.
After the packing is done the garments are kept in the stones until the buyer sends the
buyer AC for the inspection purpose before delivering them and over the QC arrives he
will check them according to the AQL level and they see if the garment has to be
accepted or rejected.
