QUALITY COMMITMENT RELIABILITY â&#x20AC;&#x153;Business with global viewâ&#x20AC;? has always been motto. Nearly two decades back, when pioneered this business, had several things in mind: 1. Bangladesh is the most populated country in the world, which requires employment of so many hands after offering proper and adequate training. And garments manufacturing is such a labour intensive sector where can create more and more employment scope for my countrymen. 02.

A developing country, as we are, has very few ways of earning foreign exchange. But exporting garments can open the avenues of earning the same. So put relentless effort of expand the business.

03.

Business activities are run in a society. So all my thinking and views are sketched considering the welfare of all the related and interest groups in the society as well as the people working in the factories. Thus the social responsibility of a business is performed. A balanced and harmonic progress of the total society then can bring and ensue happiness of human being.

04.

For these, in this era of globalization, always plan and march strategically, proactively to ensure greater benefit of business mates--- buyers meeting quality, commitment & reliability besides all others. With the positive response of so many buyers Well-Tex and its associate concerns WellSweaters, Sababa Apparels, Adib Dyeing Mills Ltd and newly The Welltex Ltd. are expanding day by day. Services and your response take us & my countrymen to the doorstep of the cherished prosperity.

Thanks, (Majedul Hoque Chisty Shameem) Managing Director Well-Tex Sababa Apparels Well-Sweaters Adib Dyeing Mills Ltd ( with washing unit) The Well-Tex Ltd.

2.03. 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 Chief Executive, 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 in 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.

2.04. Visions Mission and Objectives. Vision Quality is always the combination of the highest intent, sincerest effort with an accurate execution, and delivering high-valued-added products and quality services, all tailored to the specific needs of every one of our individual customers.

Mission

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?" Objectives: •

Source quality

•

Make quality

•

Delivery quality 2.05. 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, 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 . 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. Tullberg believes that humans are built with the capacity to cheat and manipulate, a view taken from (Trivers 1971, 1985), hence the need for learning normative values and rules in human behaviour (Tullberg 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 in increasing employee loyalty and pride in the organization. Caterpillar and Best Buy are examples of organizations that have taken such steps (Thilmany 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 in 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 in the West Australian town of Experience 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 labour 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, Meiners 1986, 105) Global competition places particular pressure on multinational corporations to examine not only their own labour practices, but those of their entire supply chain, from a CSR perspective

03. MERCHANDISING DEPARTMENT: The Bangladesh garment industry is gaining ground in the world market at breakneck speed, but still not flourished at the fullest extent. Although the resources are available plentiful with a powerful foundation of fabric and spanning sector to support. the key factors behind this are low technological development, lower output, cut throat competition, high raw material cost, inadequate infrastructure, traditional productivity, unfavorable regularity policies, and globalization in fact. However, there a fair list of the producers, suppliers, and exporters that

are fully acknowledge with regularity policies and formalities, international marketing policies and procedures. The only concern is in executing their productivity initiatives, and meeting with order deadlines. Now days, major companies are adopting merchandising concepts, which comply with all procedures to execute and dispatch the shipment on time considering quality, cost and time. Merchandisers are serious in the success of any garment business. They provide the right products at the right time, enabling a company to match with latest market trends and meet the market demand. In the merchandising concept, time management is a gig to manage ones time properly, so he can focus on value adding actions. Garments merchandising means the work to buy raw material and accessories to produce garments (Merchandise) against a particular work order of garment and have to export these under the same work order within time schedule, maintaining required quality level of buyer

Cost of Trims: The accessories which are attached to the garments are called Trims. Now the authors have taken Men's Basic T-shirts, as example. Let us see what are the trims required for this style. Labels: Woven main label (2.5 cm width x 7 cm length): Rs 0.35 Polyester printed wash care label: Single colour print: Rs 0.10 Hang tag: Rs 0.40 So the total cost of trims is Rs 0.85 per garment. Cost of accessories: Polybags: Normal - Rs 0.30 per garment Master Polybag: Rs 2 per master polybags to contain 8 garments - Rs 0.25 per garment. Export carton: Normal: Rs 40 per carton to contain 48 garments - Rs 0.80 per garment. So the total cost of accessories is Rs 1.35 per garment. .

= 1.9 * .60 * .22 = 0.250 kg/pes *12 = 3.0096 kg/DZ + 10% (10% Wastage) = 3.0096 kg/DZ +0.30 = 3.3096 kg/DZ

Carton consumption Length = 60cm Width = 40cm Height = 40c 2(L+W+Allounce 5cm) * (W+H+Allounce 2.5cm) 10000

04. SUPPLY CHAIN/ PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT: Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the ultimate provision of product and service packages required by end customers (Harland, 1996). Supply Chain Management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption (supply chain). Another definition is provided by the APICS Dictionary when it defines SCM as the "design, planning, execution, control, and monitoring of supply chain activities with the objective of creating net value, building a competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide logistics, synchronizing supply with demand, and measuring performance globally."

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 CIF invoice value. In order to quality 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. 1. Three stage transformation for woven fabrics i.e. a) Grey fabric to be produced in Bangladesh. b) Dyeing printing and finishing of these fabrics to be done here. c) Finally readymade garments to be produced here by these fabrics. 2. Four stage transformation for knit fabrics i.e. a) Yarn to be produced here from raw cotton.

b) Grey fabric to be produced. c) Dyeing printing and finishing to be done. d) 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.

CO: 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. 5.05. Preparation of Commercial Invoice.

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) × 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 in) 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. Specifications:

6.04. Work-study or Industrial Engineering Procedure. Garment Business today becomes very competitive. Low price, less lead time, high costing, many competitors made the market saturated. Depending on the level of journey, this

business came to a professional and scientific stage, where accurate planning, proper time management in production and operation, high skilled technical support, optimum cost-profit estimation are very important issues to survive. Now a day's, it is impossible to run a garment manufacturing operation without scientific and professional approach. Industrial Engineering concepts are developed on this demand. Industrial Engineering concepts are required in every stage including Costing, Product R&D, Planning, Supply Chain, Production Management, Maintenance Management, Layout plan, Productivity Improvement, Cutting Improvement, Manpower Skill Development and so on. Every Garment Owner now understands that only scientific and professional approach can make the profit. So demand for Industrial Engineering became very high, and still the availability of Industrial Engineers is very less than the demand. Production calculation formula: •

BPT (Basic Pitch Time) = Total standard time÷ No of operator

•

UCL (Upper Control Limit) = Basic pitch time÷ 0.85

•

LCL (Lower Control Limit) = 2×BPT-UCL

•

Organization Efficiency = BPT÷ Highest bottleneck time×100

•

Productivity = per hour production ÷ Total operator

•

â&#x20AC;˘

Quality Management System is a set of interrelated techniques, measures and management system designed to prevent defects from occurring of if they occur at all, countermeasures are adopted immediately so that do not recur. QMS takes recourse to preventive as well as remedial measures.

â&#x20AC;˘

Quality management system (QMS) standards establish a framework for how a business manages its key processes. They can help whether your business offers products or services and regardless of your size or industry. They can also help new businesses start off on the right foot by ensuring processes meet recognized standards, clarifying business objectives and avoiding expensive mistakes.

•

Cutting department receive tech pack from merchandiser and p.p sheet of a style from I.E Cutting check wheather 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 wheater, gsm, of every roll in fine or not and check the width of a fabric for that lot. If fabric gsm is ok cutting dept. send information to CAD section for containing in which width and ratio of a fabric then going to cut that particular cutting 6.10. Production Meeting in Factory. In this meeting everybody concerned with the style sits together to make sure that everybody is on the same page and understands the product. Hence, this meeting has the merchandiser, production in-charge, cutting, finishing, fabric in-charge, line supervisor, pattern master, sample master etc. All tentative problems are discussed and solutions sought to execute the order smoothly. Once pre-production meeting is done the factory does PILOT RUN. Factory cuts 100 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 200 garments based on the order quantity. The pilot run is done on the assembly line and is aimed at ensuring that the operators of the assemble line understand the required quality levels. This is very essential since all

samples prior to the pilot run (fit samples, PP & size set) are made in the sampling unit. Once PILOT RUN is approved the factory goes into bulk production. In line and interim inspections are preformed during the production process to ensure that the final product quality meets the required quality level. In the other hand PP meeting can be done between the production manager, planner, merchandiser & buyer. PP meeting is basically for made confirm or negotiation between buyer & the merchandiser & production manager that assuring that the style of this respective volume will be produce in this dead line. If sometime the style is very difficult or critical than the production become slowly in that case if buyer need to hurry about the production than there is some modification comes up. Before going to sewing the authority is arrange a meeting is called pre production meeting this meeting is so important without the pre production meeting if go to the sewing there are some problems may be arisen the whole blame will suffer the supplier so to avoid this kinds of problems the pre production meeting is important in the meeting discuss some points which are given below – •

18.4. What are the Different Sizes of Containers? •

Standard containers.

•

High-cube containers.

•

Hard-top containers.

•

Open-top containers.

•

Insulated and refrigerated containers.

•

Flat racks.

•

Platforms (plats).

* Bulk containers.

•

Tank containers

* Ventilated containers.

• 18.5. What are the Different Kinds of Containers? 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) × 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 in) 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. Specifications:

However, the impact of these activities on companies seeking to bring new products to market is immense. Picking the way through the minefield of regulatory compliance presents one of the most significant challenges to emerging companies.

21. CONCLUSIONS. In conclusion can say that is internship report is really essential for every student of AMM Depts. completing this report 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.

22. RECOMMENDATIONS: The WELL TEX GROUP. is the leading position knit 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 observation of this company have some lacking points, if they recover those point 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 WELL TEX GROUP Company don’t have any MIS department. If they use this department 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 think productivity will be increase. •

Quality management system should be modernized because quality is the top priority of all international buyers.

•

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