The purpose of this study was to investigate the seam performance for commercially available 100% cotton plain woven fabric. The eminence of seam is characterized by strength of the seam, the elongation of seam and efficiency of the seam. Seam strength along with seam efficiency can contribute as important factor in determining the durability of a garment. Seam strength is related to the type of seam, the strength, efficiency of the seam and the seam density as well. Specifically, 100% cotton plain woven fabric was used for seam performance analysis because of its availability in market. Four different types of stitch structures along with three types of sewing threads like Ne 40 s /2, 50 s /2, and 60 s /2 were used. Seam strength and efficiency of plain woven fabric was changed consecutively with different stitch types in conjunction with increasing stitch density and more specifically, maximum seam strength and efficiency were observed at cotton plain woven fabric for four thread overlock stitch structure together with 12 stitches per inch rather than others. Seam that contains more stitches per inch illustrates more seam strength and efficiency.

This project assesses the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and the partial withdrawal of the European Union’s Everything but Arms trade arrangement on employment in Cambodia’s garment sector. These trade-related shocks or disruptions are analyzed in the political context of Cambodia’s authoritarian shift, as the country has no functioning political opposition and independent trade unions ability to promote workers’ rights has been compromised. As for the economic context, the report looks at Cambodia’s foothold in the global garment industry, which remains as an assembly platform of low-value added apparel. The research addresses this de-facto market specialization and the implications when considering changes in power dynamics between global buyers and manufacturers who are consolidating and transnationalizing their production networks.

Stitches and seams are two necessary basic constituent of structure of an apparel product. Seam strength and efficiency may depend on the thread type and stitch types for various fabrics. The apparel makers select stitch types and sewing threads without paying attention to their effect on the overall performance of the apparel being made. The threads must be tested to guarantee that they meet those standards before entering the International market to enable consumers assured of the quality of sewing threads in the market which will help the consumers achieve desired results from threads in terms of seam. In this project, twill fabric shows the maximum seam strength and plain fabric shows maximum seam efficiency. Seam efficiency of plain fabric is better than other fabrics at same sewing thread linear density because of more binding point in the plain fabric than other fabric. So it is said that plain fabric is suitable for all types of seam inside the seam strength and the efficiency. Based on the outcomes of the current study, it is recommended that apparel manufacturers should be more conscious about using appropriate thread types in the construction of apparels to ensure the quality full apparel products.

The principles and approaches that follow are rooted in ten years of organising by AFWA, including establishment of the only Asian-led alliance of trade unions and labour rights organisations, and a widespread legitimacy around a regional bargaining approach for Asian garment workers.

Garments washing is a novel process to impart worn-out look, to modify the appearance and to improve the comfort ability of the garments. Bleach wash is used to fade the color of denim in a higher degree as well as bleach wash has effect on the physical and mechanical properties of the denim also. This paper presents the impact of bleach wash and subsequent softening treatment on 100% cotton denim dyed with indigo dye. Garments were washed using a bleach concentration of 10 g/l for 30 minutes in 50oC temperature and then softened using standard recipe. The physical, mechanical and color properties were analyzed in before wash, after desizing, after bleaching and after softening. The properties that were analyzed include hand feel, tensile strength, seam strength, fabric weight, stiffness, dimensional stability and color fading. Bleach washed and softened garments exhibit a great difference in the physical, mechanical and color properties than the unwashed garments.

Business environment is perpetually undergoing
changes at such a pace that organizations are bound to be
affected by this plethora of rapid technological innovations,
fluctuations in consumer demands, latest state of the art
machinery, and evolving Human Resource (HR). The responses
that this dynamic competitive environment elicits are equally
dynamic. Dependence of apparel export organisations depend on the merchandisers is fairly large and the jobs undertaken by
merchandisers are too many. To ensure that tasks are performed
in accordance with expectations, list of activities to be undertaken must be specified to each merchandiser. Indian apparel export organizations need to exploit all available resources to survive and retain their share in the global market. The apparel export
occupies a prominent place in Indian Economy and is a labour
intensive industry. The human resource environment is very
complicated with lack of experienced and trained people, lack of sources of employment and little focus on human resource
planning, performance measurement and working conditions. In addition to this, absence of appropriate measures to assess the performance and link those to overall competitiveness.

Despite the importance today of global production networks (GPNs) in linking the international division of labour between the Global North and the Global South, the workers in such networks receive relatively little attention from those interested in the sociology of work. This study applies Glucksmann’s concept of “socio-economic formations of labour” to understand GPNs as an instituted economic process that helps perpetuate an uneven global capitalism, and reveals a specific configuration of macro- and micro-scale labour formations in China’s garment sector. We argue that labour agency is a productive factor negotiating GPNs while under the constraints of capital and management. Taking a bottom-up perspective, socio-economic factors are found to give China’s garment workers significant power in various forms which—to a certain extent—shapes the multi-layered structure of garment global production networks. Workers’ power is conceptualized by sociological tools in order to substantiate the concept of abstract labour.

The today's competitive advantage of ready-made garment industry depends on the ability to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of resource utilization. Ready-made garment industry has long historically adopted fewer technological and process advancement as compared to automotive, electronics and semiconductor industries. Simulation modeling of garment assembly line has attracted a number of researchers as one way for insightful analysis of the system behaviour and improving its performance. However, most of simulation studies have considered ill-defined experimental design which cannot fully explore the assembly line design alternatives and does not uncover the interaction effects of the input variables. Simulation metamodeling is an approach to assembly line design which has recently been of interest to researchers. However, its application in garment assembly line design has never been well explored. In this paper, simulation metamodeling of trouser assembly line with 72 operations was demonstrated. The linear regression metamodel technique with resolution-V design was used. The effects of five factors: bundle size, job release policy, task assignment pattern, machine number and helper number on throughput of the trouser assembly line were studied. An increase of the production throughput by 28.63% was achieved for the best factors' setting of the metamodel.

The study assessed the knowledge of dressmakers on darts in pattern making and garment designing. Specifically, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the knowledge of dressmakers' on darts and the application of dart principles (dart manipulation, adding fullness and contouring) in garment designing. Descriptive research design was employed for the study using 50 dress makers selected from three districts in the central region of Ghana. A semi-structured interview guide and an observation check list were the instruments used for data collection. The data collected were analysed with the help of descriptive statistics using the Predictive Analytical Software for windows version 22. The results indicated that the dressmakers studied knew what darts are and their purpose in garment design and construction, but lacked knowledge as to how to apply the principles of darts to achieve desired effects. It is recommended that the importance of darts with special reference to marking it out accurately is emphasized to dressmakers during workshops, seminars and general meetings that are organized by their association. Stakeholders in the garment industry especially those in academia could also organise workshops for garment makers to educate them on the appropriate use of darts in garment design and construction.

Darts help in shaping the fabric to fit the body and thus provide comfort to the wearer. They provide fullness to natural body curves. Darts are very rarely used for decorative purposes like providing a design line. The fitting, marking, stitching and pressing of darts should be done accurately. To create new designs for garments, it is specially used for ladies garments. It save fabric wastage and also use to remove excess fabric. Darts are needed to turn two-dimensional shapes into three-dimensional shapes and to fit clothes closely to the body.

Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) through continuous improvement by conveying the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of production. In a more basic term, more value with less work. Since lean manufacturing eliminates many of the problems associated with poor production scheduling and line balancing, lean manufacturing is particularly appropriate for companies that do not have ERP systems in place or do not have strong material requirements planning (MRP), production scheduling, or production allocation systems in place. This is particularly significant in Bangladesh, wheremany private Bangladeshi garment manufacturing companies are operating significantly below their potential capacity, or experiencing a high level of late-deliveries, due to problems with their current production scheduling and production management systems. Considering all those facts this paper provides a roadmap as well as a framework to those manufacturing companies who are really operating significantly below their potential capacity. In this work, the existing layouts were studied and then layouts are proposed to enhance the production system and Value Stream Mapping ( VSM ) is used as a basic lean manufacturing tool and some cellular manufacturing philosophies to find out the improved level of performance and productivity particularly in the garments section of Bangladesh. At the final stage, research work is reinforced by using a simulation software ARENA to judge the sustainability of proposal.

Ready Made Garment (RMG) is among the successful production sectors along with greater contribution towards the national economic climate of Bangladesh .RMG is the main source of export for the last 28 years, and this sector employs more than 3.2 billion people in Bangladesh of whom 90% are poor and underprivileged women. This sector became important in terms of generating employment, foreign exchange earnings and its contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Regardless Employees are the key source of competitive advantage for business organization, as innovative and committed workers can make dramatic changes in business performance and sustainability (Job satisfaction is such a tool that improves the motivation and commitment of workers which consequently leads to higher growth and productivity. Without satisfied employees, no organization can achieve their business target as unhappy workers will never work for progress and prosperity. On the other hand, job dissatisfaction raises worker’s voice and creates unrest Therefore, job satisfaction is essential to enhance peace and harmony at work place as well as to ensure higher productivity. Nevertheless, job fulfillment of RMG employees in Bangladesh tend to be decreasing at the moment time because of improper function practices including insufficient income, discrimination, unhealthy work place, frequent function accidents as well as hazards. Besides which poor operating conditions as well as work methods (like abnormal pay) within the factories and deficiencies in social conformity are severe concerns within RMG field, as these result in frequent work unrest. Consequently, dissatisfied RMG employees in Bangladesh tend to be creating unrest as well as raising tone of voice in current time. Because of labor unrest, RMG industries are dropping its marketplace as unrest disturbs production features and goes by the message towards the buyers concerning employee splendor.
Unrest within RMG has effects on business revenue and prospective client. The USA has suspended Bangladesh in the (GSP) because of their unfair methods in clothes industry, that allows duty-free admittance of more than 5000 goods towards the US marketplace (Textile Message, May, 2014). Consequently, it is vital to conserve this rising industry if you take corrective action as soon as possible. This document is focusing on investigation to find causes associated with job fulfillment and recommend some recommendations to complete. This study is going to be contributed towards the literature although a lot of studies happen to be conducted about the garment employees in Bangladesh. This research is attempted to create a fruitful evaluation of employer’s sights on work dissatisfaction.

This book provides a firm analytical base to discussions about injustice and the unequal distribution of gains from global production in the form of global monopsony capitalism. It utilizes the concept of reverse subsidies as the purchase of gendered labour and environmental services below their costs of production in garment value chains in India and other garment producing countries, such as Bangladesh and Cambodia. Environmental services, such as freshwater for garment manufacture and land for cotton production, are degraded by overuse and untreated waste disposal. The resulting higher profits from the low prices of garments are captured by global brands, using their monopsony position, with few buyers and myriad sellers, in the market. This book links the concept of reverse subsidies with those of injustice, inequality and sustainability in global production.

The current competitiveness of garment manufacturing industries is highly dependent on ability to improve efficiency and effectiveness of resource utilization through proper application of industrial engineering techniques such as line balancing and time study. However, very few apparel industries have comprehended industrial engineering function due to little knowledge on practical application of industrial engineering techniques. The present study aimed at balancing a trouser assembly line using the ranked positional weight technique to increase the line efficiency as well as minimize the number of workstations without violating the constraints: precedence relations, cycle time, and resource type. The empirical study was conducted at Southern Range Nyanza Limited (NYTIL) garment manufacturing facility to demonstrate the practical application of ranked positional weight line balancing technique. Results showed that ranked positional weight method is suitable only for assembly line balancing with no constraint on the resource. However, most complex garment assembly lines consist of a number of different machine types rendering ranked positional weight method practically ineffective for improving line efficiency of a complex garment assembly line. Therefore, profound line balancing using simulation-based optimization to improve the line efficiency of complex garment assembly line should be investigated.
