DEPARTMENTS

Fabric Department:

Under the careful guidance of Mr.Sanjeev Kumar, the department has 28 people in all.

Fabric Sourcing

The Export House which is renowned in the garment industry for its good quality product has

achieved its reputation by integrating the best fabrics from various states across the country. They

source fabrics like jersey cotton single, slub, hosiery, mash, polyester, viscose and many more from

Surat and Amritsar in North India, Coimbatore and Tamil Nadu in South India. Also, few fabrics are

sourced from NCR itself if they are easily available at a lower cost. Nehru Place in Delhi/NCR is one

the major sourcing hubs for the company.

The suppliers for the export house are decided by R&D after careful study at the export house itself.

The buyers are not allowed to nominate the suppliers as per their convenience. the company sends

the details regarding GSM and gage requirements to the suppliers according to the orders issued by

the merchandisers.

Fabric Store

The fabric store of the unit is divided into two segments, one located in the main factory in Noida

Phase II and the second located in the factory present in Noida Sector 83. The finished fabric i.e; the

dyed fabric is kept in the fabric store present in the main unit whereas the unfinished fabric i.e; the

grey fabric is stored in the unit located in Noida Sector 83. The dyeing process is not done in house

instead it is outsourced from companys like Mercury & Ambika operating in Noida itself. After thefabric has been inspected it is moved to the sampling department and thereafter to the production

floor which happens once the sample has been approved and the order has been received.

Fabric Inspection:

Once the finished fabric is received, the second step is the inspection. The inspection of the fabric

takes place twice in the unit, once before the sample is prepared and the second time, after a bulk

order is received for production. It is important to inspect the fabric so as to check and maintain the

quality of the products, hence the reputation of the company.

The buyer sends the details of the types of checks to be conducted on the fabric in order to be

assured of the quality of the final product. The fabrics are accepted or rejected on the basis of the 4

Point System. Within this system, fabric rolls are graded for defects. Each defect receives a certain

number of points and after inspection it is decided whether the fabric has to be accepted or

rejected. In case the colour or GSM is not matching with the specifications mentioned by the buyer

on the BOM-Sheet (bill of material) sent after the approval of samples, the fabric is dispatched for

reprocessing. Also, shrinkage tests are conducted on all the fabrics. After all the tests are conducted,

an in house test is test report is prepared. The faults usually found in a fabric are colouring faults,

knitting faults, compactor mark, fly etc.

R&D and Sampling Department:

Sampling is one of the main and inevitably important processes in Garment Industry and it

has a vital role in attracting buyers. Because the buyers generally place the order after they

are satisfied with the quality of the samples. Sampling department is in direct contact with

the merchandising and design team. It is done to see how the product will look like when

produced in bulk and to check whether there are any discrepancies in the pattern made

according to the buyers specification.(textile school website)If the samples satisfy the buyer

needs, the buyer is naturally compelled to place the order in bulk to the company.

Fabric Sampling:

The sampling process begins with the receipt of the tech sheet from the buyer which

contains details regarding stitching, fabric details, embellishment details, stitch type,

measurements etc. The tech sheet is thereafter sent to the head of the pattern tracing

department so that he can start developing the pattern. Along with this a BOM Sheet is

issued to the Fabric Store Incharge so that he can get to work to source the required fabricat its best quality and most economical price.

In the Fabric Store, first the fabric is sourced after which it is thoroughly tested for any kind of

fault in the fabric. After the fabric has been matched with the standards specified by the

buyer, it is sent for sample preparation. The Export House also prepares its own fabric

samples to be utilised in case of any interested buyer or the merchandising team of the

factory itself.

CAD/CAM Department:

CAD: Computer Aided Design is a software used for the creation and modification of the

design. It improves the productivity of the designer and the quality of a design.

(Wikipedia)

CAM: Computer Aided Machine is a machine that helps in tracing the accurate pattern on

the brown paper for ease of further processes like cutting the fabric in that pattern.

The pattern given by the buyer or the merchandising team is then digitized in the CAD

machine .The pattern is then graded which means that the average is taken out. This pattern

is then printed on white paper using the CAM machine on the basis of the fabric width. This

pattern is then traced on trace packs and made on brown paper.

Pattern Making Department:

Once the above is done, the traced brown paper is sent to the pattern master in the pattern

making department where five people work in totality.

After this the fabric is cut as per the pattern. First the fabric is placed and then the pattern is

placed on the fabric and then the cutting is done.

Sampling at Rainbow Fabart Pvt Ltd is divided into two types:

1. Pre-production sampling- the kind of sampling done before the buyer places the bulk

order. This is done by the export house to assure the buyer that the product has

been produced strictly sticking to his requirements and specifications.

2. Sales sampling- samples that are made by the ex

For the preproduction samples, only few quantities of fabric are cut as the buyer requires

only 2-3 samples. The sample is made in the base size depending upon the buyers

requirements. And, for the sales samples the requirement is above 100 samples for which

the same process as that of preproduction samples takes place on a larger scale.

Sample Stitching

This is followed by stitching the sample garments in the Sampling Room .Assembly line

method is followed in stitching of samples. The stitching is done by experienced and trained

tailors with help of the speciationsreceived on the tech sheet. The company outsources its

machine embroidery whereas the rest of the embroidery along with Adda work and hand

work takes place in-house and for sampling, it takes place in this room.

The machines used are as follows:

Single Needle Machine (Brother )

Flat Lock Machine

Overlock Machine

After all the embellishments and embroideries have been placed on the stitched garment it is

sent to the checking department where the garment is checked for loose threads or loose

embellishment etc. the loose threads are trimmed. In case of a loose embellishment/trim, an

AL sticker is glued to the garment. AL stands for alteration. Thereafter, alteration also

takes place in the same room. Also, in case of any stains on the garment, the spot fixing

spray is used so as to remove those stains.

Finishing

After stitching, the garment is finished in which the garment is steam pressed. After finishing

is done, the garment is measured according to the requirements of the buyer on the basis of

the tech sheet.
