TITLE OF THE PROJECT
A detailed study about the relation between the
amount of defects and the consumption of
fabric/difficulties faced
ABOUT THE COMPANY

 50:50 joint venture company of Tessitura Monti, Italy and Aquarelle

Clothing, Mauritius.
 Set up in the year 2006.
 LOCATION : J.P. Nagar, Bengaluru (Office), Kanakpura (Factory)
 Specializes in manufacturing Formal shirts.
 CUSTOMERS : Dressmann, Bestseller, Celio, Charles Tyrwhitt (CT), Ralph
Lauren, Calvin Klein (CK), Benetton etc.
 SUPPLIERS : Tessitura Monti, Arvind, Raymond, Vardhman, Morarjee, Soktas,
NSL, BRFL etc.
 TURNOVER :
OBJECTIVE

 To reduce the no. of fabric defects

 To find out the intensity of problems faced by occurrence of fabric defects
 A fabric defect can occur right from raw material selection to finishing
stage, because of the introduction of improper input parameters with
respect to material, machine and man.
 Although the production of 100% defect free fabric is impossible, the defect
level can certainly be minimized to larger extent by the use of proper
inspection methods.
LITERATURE REVIEW

 FABRIC SOURCING
 Fabric sourcing department is basically engaged in determining how and
where the fabric will be obtained.
 It works in co-ordination with the merchandising department and looks
after the delivery of the required goods within the scheduled time and cost.
 INSPECTION
 Inspection can be defined as the visual examination or review of raw
materials (such as fabric, buttons, zippers, sewing threads, trims etc,),
partially finished components of the garments and completely finished
garments in relation to some standards, specifications, or requirements, as
well as measuring the garments to check if they meet the required
measurements.

FABRIC DEFECT

 A defect is defined as the departure or non conformance of some

characteristics from its intended level or state
KNOT
Occurs when broken threads are pieced together
by improper knotting.
SLUB
A bunch of fibres having less twist or no
twist and has a wider diameter compared
to normal spun yarn.

STAINS
Stains such as grease, rust etc occur due to poor
material handling.
WEFT BAR
An unwanted bar running across the full
width of a piece which differs in
appearance from the adjacent normal
fabric.

MISSING END/PICK

The fabric is characterized by a gap parallel

to the warp. The no. of ends missing may be
one or more.
FLOAT
Improper interlacement of warp and weft
threads in the fabric over a certain area.

HOLE

A fabric imperfection in which one or several yarns are

sufficiently damaged to create an opening.
DOUBLE END

When two or more ends unintentionally get woven

as one. The defect is characterized by a thick bar
running parallel to the warp.

BROKEN END
This defect is caused by a bunch of broken
ends woven in the fabric.
 Broken pick: This defect is due to discontinuity in the filling direction caused
by a break or cut in the filling yarn.
METHODOLOGY
 STUDY OF BASIC TEXTILES AND
TESTING PROCEDURES FOLLOWED
 What is fibre?
 Types of fibres
 Fibre Identification tests

 Colorfastness to crocking
 Yarn count testing
 Fabric thickness test
 Tearing/Tensile/Seam strength test
 Button pull strength test

METHODOLOGY

 STUDY OF FABRIC DEFECTS  Types of defects

 COLLECTION OF DEFECTIVE  Different fabrics, count,

SAMPLES construction, weaves

 PREPARATION OF TESTING REPORT  Count, construction, tearing

FOR ALL DEFECTIVE SAMPLES strength, tearing strength, tensile
strength, seam strength

 MID TERM EVALUATION

METHODOLOGY

 CATEGORISATION OF INSPECTION  A/B/C Zones

ZONES OF SHIRT

 CATEGORISATION OF DEFECTIVE
 Which defect should be
SAMPLES ACCORDING TO ZONES
accepted/rejected depending
on the zones

 PHOTOSHOOT OF DEFECTIVE  For proper documentation

SAMPLES
METHODOLOGY

 COLLECTION OF MONETARY LOSS  Amount of fabric ordered and

DATA DUE TO FABRIC DEFECTS actually used
 % and types of defects found
 % of waste and cut used
 No. of garments ordered and
shipped
 Delayed shipment (if any)

 Cost analysis - Profit/Loss to the

company
 ANALYSIS OF DATA

 PREPARATION OF FABRIC MANUAL  Compilation and final

documentation

 Implementation of Fabric Manual

 IMPLEMENTATION
in the company
