Introduction
It is an opportunity to do the summer internship in Orchid Overseas Pvt. Ltd. Which is a
manufacturer & exporter of womens wear, Kids wear & Mens wear. As we know,
exporting is complex and challenging activity in todays dynamic world as it involves the
performance of operations that determine existing and potential demand in a market.
Learning the step-by-step process & procedures to be followed in an export contract is a
crucial activity in export procedure. So selecting a project on mapping the process of
sampling and merchandising in an export house is an obvious & important decision.
An export house is a business term used
primarily in global markets outside the United States to describe a company that develops
products for its countrys export market. The job functions of the export house merchandiser
compares closely to aspects of the U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics job descriptions for the
wholesale and retail buyer, production, planning and expediting clerks, and the shipping,
receiving and traffic clerk.
Export is one of the lucrative business activities in India. The government also provides
various promotional schemes to the exporters for learning valuable foreign exchange for the
country and for meeting their requirement for importing modern technology and essential
inputs. Besides, the income from export business is also exempted to the specified extent
under the Income Tax Act, 1961, Refund of Central Excise and Custom Duty On export is
also made under the Duty Drawback Scheme of the Government. There is no Sales Tax on
products meant for exports. Exports can be of goods which can be moved physically from
one country to another or can be of service rendered.
This report covers various aspects of an export house concentrating mainly on the functions
of a merchandiser, it also looks into relations that is carried out in order to complete execute
an order.









Objectives
Primary objective
To understand sampling and merchandising department in detail and the role of the
different departments for completion of an export order.

Secondary objective
To know the documents which are required and prepared during export process and
find out the present problems/difficulties faced by export house.

Rationale of the study
Export in simple words means selling of goods abroad or Export refers to outflow of
goods and services and inflow of foreign exchange. Each country has its own rules and
regulations regarding the foreign trade. For the fulfilment of all the rules and regulations of
different countries and exporting country has to maintain and fulfil different documentation
requirements. The documentation procedure depends on the type of goods, process of
manufacturing, type of industry and the country to which goods is to be exported. In
order to complete an order for garment, many activities like communication between
different departments, the process of outsourcing raw material, payment process,quality
control, packing and shipment of goods etc. are undertaken.

Different department work in synchronicity & various documents are prepared in the process.
Hence, a single mistake or lack of proper planning can lead to the rejection of the whole
order or increase the cost.
Todays world is the global village in which each country is trading with other countries in
the form of export or import. This field has a great scope because today each company
whether it is small or big wants to engage in foreign trade.
So, it is very important to study the mapping the process of sampling and merchandising in
an export house. Hence, selecting this project is a judicious descision.




Scope of the study
The aim of this project report is to unfold stepwise all complexities involved in the export
business right from receiving an export order to final realization of export proceeds. It gives a
detail idea of how different departments in an Apparel export house work in synchronization
so that as export order is processed.
This project would be helpful to fulfil many loopholes of sampling, manufacturing and
merchandising.

To ensure help and better understanding of the current process.
As a training tool for new recruiters.
To get the better understanding of lacking areas.
Help to management to standardize and facilitate more efficient process.
To maintain sales and production stability.

Methodology
The primary objective of doing this project is to get the first- hand knowledge of
sampling and merchandising. Since we are not comparing two different entities on the
basis of their financial results, rather we are learning the export procedure. Hence
exploratory research design is the need of our.
Further there are few reasons which made me to use Exploratory Qualitative research:
It is not always desirable or possible to use fully structured or formal methods to
obtain information from respondents.
People may be unable & unwilling to answer certain questions or unable to give
truthful answers.
People may be unable to provide accurate answers to question that tap their sub
consciousness.
Thus, project research methodology is as follows:
In Primary data, Qualitative research through In-Depth Interviews has been
adopted.
For interviews non-structured open-ended questions were used.
In secondary data, both internal & external research was done. For internal research
Ready to use documents available with the organization were used. For external
research Internet website were consulted.

Limitations Of the Methodology
1. Concern of the validity: the issue arises from the fact that qualitative research does
not rely on tests for reliability & credibility that are external to data collection &
analysis.

2. Labour intensive data collection: it can be extremely time consuming. Data
collection is the labour intensive process the researcher immerses himself or herself to
build an understanding of the organization, through contact with the employees,
exposure to the norms & familiarity with their practices.

3. Conclusion & interpretation of qualitative research: they are primarily
communicated in the form of case studies. The case study is written after an extensive
process of data collection through interviewing & participant observation.

4. Need for training in qualitative research: there is a need of training in qualitative
research methodology. Persons having low knowledge in this field dont go for such
methodology.
Department overview

Sampling:

Merchandiser is involved in coordinating with the sampling department. Based on the
mutual agreement between the merchant and the buyer, sampling department is
involved in making samples. In every step of samples, buyer sends back comments
along with the tech pack.

Sampling is the product development stage. This department makes samples on the
basis of specification and requirements sent by the buyer.



Types of sample
1. Buying /development sample: It is the reflection of the first tech-pack
or design sheet received from the buyer. The sample is sent to the buyer for
the design approval. Proto sample is made in the base size. Styling is
important. The comment and second tech pack is sent back referring changes
in the sample.

2. Fit sample: The comments are received regarding the shape, size and
fullness. The sample is checked for fit on body forms. It is made in exact
fabric, though print maybe different, since the drape and fit are to be checked.

3. Second fit sample: It is similar to the first fit sample made with a few
changes according to comments received from the buyer. Again a third or
fourth fit sample may be required to be made. After approval of fit sample,
order is confirmed along with all the specifications.

4. Pre-production/sealer sample: This sample is known as the bible of
production. It is done for the base size of any colour and actual trims are used.
If this sample is approved and the buyer attached same tag to this sample to
ensure the approval.
5. GPT sample: These samples are made for garment testing for seam-
slippage, tearing strength, button pulling etc.



6. TOT (top of production) sample: It is the best sample from first of
bulk production. Sometimes TOP sample is also called shipment sample.

7. Salesman sample & Ad sample: It is made for the buyer to find out the
opinion of the store owners whether the style would sell in the market or not,
and the demand of that product.
































Stages of Sampling for Product Development

Buyers sending his tech pack, defining the requirements. Pinned Samples might also
be received.
Patterns are developed by the masters with necessary amendments in the pinned
sample.
Fit samples are developed.
By the time fit sample develop fabric colour, thread runs, embroidery mocks, lace
mock etc are sent for approval.
The necessary tests are done on the fabric and trims.
First fit after QA review and buying house QA reviews is sent to the buyer.
If it gets approved well and good else 2
nd
and 3
rd
fits are made.
Once the sample gets approved the Market adopt sample and the GTP samples are
developed.
Also 3pcs cutting is sent to the production unit for checking production feasibility.
After three pieces report, comes sealers and size sets are developed.
By the time we reach the sealer level the bulk fabric is source, trims are sourced and
all these receive approvals. The garment test report is passed and other test reports are
passed.
The costing gets finalized.
Before the PPM occurs the complete working on the garment is done all the tests
should be passed.
