Design/Sketch	Design is provided by the buyer. After placing an order buyer send the technical sheet and art-work of an order to the merchandiser. This process is done by both manually or by using computer.
Basic Block	Basic block is an individual component of garments without any style of design (without Allowance, Style Design).
Pattern Making	Pattern is specific design of different parts of the garment which is drawn including seam allowance in hard paper and is cut accordingly. Designer may draw pattern design manually using pencil scale etc. or with the help of computer that is called Computer Aided Design (CAD). After making pattern sample is prepared according to the first pattern. Designer, pattern maker and concerned all other departments review the sample to finalize the pattern. After reviewing sample if required, necessary changes are made to finalize the pattern. After finalization of pattern production patterns are prepared according to the approved pattern.
Sample Making	The main target of making a fit sample is to follow the details instruction about that garments style. After making it’s sent to the buyer to rectify. It’s done by manually.
Production Pattern Making	For bulk production, allowance added here with net dimension. Production Pattern Making is done by both manually and by using computer.
Pattern Grading	Pattern grading is an important and essential part of pattern making because patterns of different sizes (S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL etc.) are created in this process. To create different sizes there are grading rules to determine how patterns increase or decrease. Grading is a hard task if it is done manually but it can be done flawless, fast and easily by using CAD software.
Marker Making	Marker making is the way to produce maximum garments with the minimum fabric. This is the process how all the patterns of all sizes are arranged to cut the garments parts from the fabric spread on cutting table. Patterns are arranged in systematic way so that wastage is reduced.
Spreading Fabric	In this process fabric is spread and stacked on the cutting table as per the length and width of the marker already made. Maximum height of the stack could be six inches.
Fabric Cutting	In this process the marker is placed on the spread and stacked fabric perfectly. The fabric stack is pinned with the marker paper to avoid movement or displacement. Different parts of the garments (front part, back part, sleeve etc.) are cut with the cutting machine. Manually Powered Knife or Computerized Technique could be used to cut the fabric.
Sorting out & bundling cut fabric	After cutting fabric stacks different parts of the garments are sorted out and bundle those marking systematically size wise and color wise.
Print/Embroidery	Sometimes garments require print or embroidery. Usually the process of print or embroidery is done before assembling/sewing but sometimes it could be done after assembling/sewing.
Assembling/Sewing	Assembling/sewing is the most important operation in apparel industry. Different parts of the garments are assembled/sewn in assembling/sewing section. Different types of sewing machines are arranged in vertical lines depending on sequence of assembling operations.
Quality check/inspection	QC/QA team checks quality in this section to detect any defective garments. They check defects like measurement variation, sewing defect, fabric defects, print/embroidery defects, button/zipper attachment defects, spots etc. if it is possible to rectify the defective garments the sent the garment to concerned dept. for rectification. Otherwise garments defective garments are rejected as leftover.
Pressing/ Ironing	In this section garments are pressed/ironed and folded as per buyer’s requirement.
Final check/Inspection	QC/QA team checks quality finally in this section before packing.
Packing	After final check/inspection, the garments are packed in poly or/and blister and finally in carton attaching hang tag, price tag etc. in this stage as per buyers’ packing instruction for inspection by buyer’s representatives/inspectors.
Cartooning	To minimize the damages of garments, all the garments have to cartoon by maintaining buyer’s instruction. This process is done by manually.
Delivery	After inspection by buyer’s representatives/inspectors the cartons containing manufactured garments are delivered for shipment.
