This is the Basic Production Flowchart of a Garment. In advance some

Garments Manufacturing Sequence
Garments manufacturing follows a flowchart where in each steps
definite works are completed to carried out a complete garments. Here
I will show you all of the garments manufacturing steps that you must
follow to make a garment.
1. Design/ Sketch:
For the production of knit garments, or woven garments a sketch of a
particular garment including its design features is essential to produce
on paper so that after manufacturing of that garment could be verified
or checked whether could be done manually or with the help of
computer.
2. Pattern Design:
3. Sample Making:
The patterns are used to cut the fabric. Then the garment components
in fabric form are used to sew/assemble the garment. Sample garment
manufacturing is to be done by a very efficient and technically sound
person.
4. Production Pattern:
The patterns of the approved sample garment are used for making
production pattern. During production pattern making, sometimes it
may be necessary to modify patterns design if buyer or appropriate
authority suggests any minor modification.
5. Grading:
Normally for large scale garments production of any style needs
different sizes to produce from a set of particular size of patterns, the
patterns of different sizes are produced by using grade rule which is
called grading.
6. Marker Making:
All the pattern pieces for all the required sizes are arranged n the
paper in such a way so that maximum number of garments could be
produced with minimum fabric wastag4e. Markers are made for 6, 12,
18, 24 etc. pieces. Marker is also useful to estimate fabric consumption
calculations.
7. Spreading:
It is the process of arranging fabrics on the spreading table as per
length and width of the marker in stack form. Normally height of the
lay/fabric is limited upto maximum six inches high. But 4 inch to 5 inch
height of the lay is safe.
8. Fabric Cutting:
On the fabric lay/spread the marker paper is placed carefully and
accurately, and pinned with the fabric to avoid unwanted movement or
displacement of the marker paper. Normally straight knife cutting
machine is used to cut out the garment component as per exact
dimension of each patterns in stack form, care must be taken to avoid
cutting defects.
9. Sorting/ Bundling:
After cutting the entire fabric lay, all the garments components in
stack form is shorted out as per size and color. To avoid mistake in
sorting, it is better to use code number on each pattern.
10. Sewing or Assembling:
It is the most important department/ section of a garment
manufacturing industry. Sewing machines of different types are
arranged as a vertical line to assemble the garments. Sequence of
types of sewing machine arrangement depends on sequence of
assembling operations. Number of sewing machine per line varies from
20 nos to 60 nos depending on the style of the ga4rmnet to be
produce. Production pr line pr hour also varies from 100 to 150 pieces
depending on specific circumstances. Number of sewing machine
arrangement per line may be upto 60 depending on design and out put
quantity of garment.
11. Inspection:
Each and every garment after sewing passes through the inspection
table/ point, where the garments are thoroughly and carefully checked
to detect/find any defect if present in the garment. The defects may be
for example variation of measurement, sewing defect, fabric defects,
spots etc. if the defect is possible to overcome, then the garment is
sent to the respective person for correction. If the defect is not
correctionable, then the garment is separated as wastage.
