Costs of machinery, equipment, raw material indicated in this report refer to a particular make and approximately to those prevailing at the time of preparation of this project and it is presumed that these rates are likely to vary from supplier to supplier and place to place. Cost of installation and electrification of plant and machinery is taken @ 10% of its cost.
Non-refundable deposits, project report cost, trial production cost, security deposit with Electricity Board are taken under pre-operative expenses. Depreciation has been considered at 5% on building, 10% on plant and machinery, 15% on furniture and 15% on workshop accessories. Interest rate for the loan has been considered at 14% per annum.
Implementation Schedule
Time period required for executing the project from preparation of project report to starting the trial run production will be 7 months period approximately. Considering that some of the many activities may be overlapping, the project implementation will take a total period of five months approximately for starting the actual production.
Technical Aspects
Process of Manufacture
The manufacturing process involves the following steps :
1. Procurement of Knitted Fabric
Dyed/bleached cotton knitted fabrics are to be procured from the open market. The fabric will be inspected by laying the fabric on the inspection table against light before cutting so that unevenness in colour/shades or any other fault if any visible in the fabric can be eliminated.
2. Cutting and Stitching
The inspected fabric is placed on the cutting table in layers and then the different parts of the respective garments are demarked by a chalk as per different sizes. Cutting of fabric layer is carried out by fabric cutting machine in order to have accurate dimensions.
Stitching of whole garment is carried out by the skilled workers with the help of overlock, sewing machines etc.
3. Washing, Checking, Pressing and Packing
Garments obtained from the sewing section will normally have some dirt/ stains which are to be eliminated by treating them with mild soap solution in garment washing machine. Excess water is to be removed from the garments by charging in hydro-extractor and dried in garments drying tumbler.
Final checking is done by placing individual pieces on the checking table so that any fault and protruding thread in the piece may be removed. The individual pieces are pressed by pressing man to remove the wrinkle marks in the piece and packed in the paper board boxes specifically available for the purpose.
Quality Control and Standards
Necessary quality checking must be followed in each stage of manufacturing process in order to maintain the quality. BIS standards applicable for undergarments are given below:
