  3. Total Textile Process at a Glance

  4. Introduction The “Merchandising” is known to the persons specially involved in garments trade. The term merchandising has been derived from the merchandise. Merchandise means goods that are bought & sold. The term “Merchandiser” may be defined as Person who merchandises the goods, specifically for export purposes. Garments merchandising means buying raw materials & accessories, producing garments, maintaining required quality level and exporting the garments within schedule time. Merchandising is the business art of matching goods to the needs and preferences of customers to ensure shelf off take. How a product is presented, how much is displayed, and in what form, size shape, color, etc. can determine the rate of speed at which a product is bought. In other words merchandising is the marketing activity responsible for ensuring a product’s “desirability”, both qualitatively and quantitatively. This means that at the store end, your product has to be perceived as “just right” by your market. It is a whole lot of psyche satisfaction. The personnel who acts the merchandising activities is called “Merchandiser”.

  9. Different Types of order placed by buyers  FOB(free on board) Order  FOA(Free on Air) Order  C& F(Cost & Freight) Order  CIF(Cost Insurance & Freight) Order  CIFC(Cost Insurance & Freight & Commission) Order

  10. FOB: This is the export term of delivery and price quotation. The sellers send the goods for export and deliver them on ship. The risk is passed from seller to buyer when the goods are loaded in the ship at the port of departure. The buyer paid the freight charges. The seller doesn’t include the freight charge with his costing.  FOA: The supplier delivers the goods to the air Carrier at the air port of departure, the buyer bear the risk from that moment and pays the air transport cost. The seller bears the cost of materials and making, doesn’t include air freight.  C&F: The sellers send the goods for export & pay the freight charge and deliver them on ship. The risk is passes to the buyer when the goods are left the port of departure as buyer recommends the shipping line.  CIF (Cost Insurance & Freight): The seller ensures the goods against loss and damage at his own cost.  CIFC(Cost Insurance & Freight & Commission) : The seller includes the cost of insurance, freight and commission for local buying house.

  11. TIME AND ACTION CALENDAR Normally merchandisers prepare a plan in a spreadsheet listing down key processes in one column and planned date of action for each process is noted in another. This planning sheet is called time and action calendar. Once TNA calendar is made, merchandiser can easily list down her daily 'to do list' for the day and start doing work one by one. According to TNA schedule processes are executed on daily basis to track whether an order is on track or getting delayed.

  12. T&A Calendar

  13. SAMPLE The samples decide the ability of an exporter. The buyer will access the exporter and his organization only by the samples. If the samples are of good quality and with reasonable price naturally the buyers will be forced to place the order. So it is essential that the samples should be innovative and with optimum quality. The purpose of sampling is not only to get bulk orders and also give some additional benefits to the exporters. By doing sampling the exporter can estimate the yarn consumption for developing the fabric, a clear idea on costing more ever the manufacturing difficulties.

  14. Types of Sample  Salesmen samples or promotional samples  Proto samples  fit samples  Pre-production samples  Size-set sample  Production samples  Shipment samples

  15. Proto Sample: This samples are proto type of new design created by designers. This is the first sample in product development stage. Proto sample is made to communicate the design of a style or a line or to present garment structure. In proto samples fit and fabric detailing is not been considered.  FIT Sample: Once proto sample is approved, FIT is being made with actual measurement. Modification on the pattern is done to get desired fit of the garment. FIT is one of the most important factor to be considered during sample development. FIT sample is being tested on live model or Dress form for to verify garment fit and fall.  Salesman Sample: Salesman samples are made to put on display in the retail showroom. Salesman sample (SMS) are displayed for assessing customer's feedback and according to customers response buyers forecast demand of an particular style. Sales samples are made with actual fabric and trims and accessories. Buyer pays for salesman samples to the developer.

  16. Size set Sample: The purpose of the size set is to check fit of the garment in different sizes. In this stage factory develops samples in multiple sizes. Generally, buyers ask size set sample in jump sizes, like S, L, XXL. Buyer check size set sample and give feedback to factory if anything need to be corrected.  Pre-production Sample: All the above samples are made in sampling department. Buyer wants pre-production sample (PP sample) to be made in actual production line, so that operators know what are they going to make. This sample is made with actual fabric, trims and accessories and made by sewing line tailors. PP sample must be approved by buyer or buying house merchants (technical persons) prior to proceeding actual production.  Shipment Sample: When style is being finished and packed for shipment, 2-3 finished and packed pieces with all packing details are kept for future reference. Shipment sample is kept by factory merchants and buyer's merchant. The approved shipment is sent directly to warehouse and merchants at the buyer do not get garment out of the shipment. That is why they keep shipment sample for future reference.

  17. Consumption & Costing Knit garments consumption: Fabric Consumption: Before calculate the fabric consumption, we must need the followings information as mentioned below: 1) Measurement chart with technical spec. 2) Style Description. 3) Fabric Description. 4) Fabrics width/weight. 5) Washing shrinkage if any.

  18. Calculation: {(Body length + Sleeve length + Sewing Allowance) X (1/2 Chest + Sewing Allowance)}X 2 X GSM X 12 / 10000000 + Wastage (For 12 pcs of garments)

  19. Woven Garments Consumption: Fabric Consumption: Formula = Length X Width / Fabric width X Fabric Unit

  20. Cost of Manufacturing (CM) Calculation: COST OF MAKING (CM) ={(Monthly total expenditure of the following factory / 26) / (Qty of running Machine of your factory of the following month) X (Number of machine to complete the layout)} / [{(Production capacity per hr from the existing layout, excluding alter & reject) X 8}] X 12 / (Dollar conversion rate)

  21. CBM calculation: The cubic volume occupied by a shipment in Cubic Meters is referred to as the shipments CBM. To calculate CBM we first need to know the length, width and height of the carton in cm. If carton measurement is in inch, we have to convert measurement in inch. Simply multiply length, width and height to find cubic centimeter and divide by 1000000 to find cubic meter (CBM). formula as follows: CBM= (LENGTH in cm X WIDTH in cm X HEIGHT IN cm/1000000)

  22. BOOKING Booking is the order sheet given from the manufacturer to the suppliers. After getting the master LC from the buyer the manufacturer, Merchandisers are supposed to make the booking and send the suppliers. By booking merchandisers procure the raw materials e.g. fabric, accessories and trims.

  23. Fabric booking: Knit fabric booking is done mentioning the following criteria: Composition: 100% cotton, 95% cotton 5% spandex etc Construction: S/J, 1x1 rib etc GSM: 140 gsm, 180 gsm etc Quantity in Weight: e.g. 5000 kg Color: Red, White, Blue etc

  24. Fabric Booking

  25. Woven fabric booking is done mentioning the following criteria: Composition: 100% cotton, 95% cotton 5% spandex etc Construction: e.g. 40 X40 /120 X 60 Width: e.g. 44”, 46” Quantity in length: e.g. 10000 yards Color: Red, White, Blue etc

  26. Accessories Booking

  27. Follow up and updates Regular and timely follow ups are important to ensure that everybody involves in the execution of the style is updated and is performing his / her activities on time. A merchandiser should plan his / her day based on the time and action activities that are due for the day. Ideally the merchandiser should look at the activities the are due for the coming 2-3 days and should start his follow up accordingly.

  28. Merchandiser’s follow up tasks: 1. Product Package Analysis for Merchandising Follow up and Procurement Planning. 2. Preparation of Time and Action Calendar for Merchandising Follow up. 3. Follow up of all BB L/C on receipt of Master L/C in respect of Yarn, Knitting, Dyeing, Printing, Embroidery, Value-addition works and Accessories. 6. Follow up of Procurement of Yarn. Fabric and accessories. 8. Follow up of Lab-dip Preparation, Submission and Approval. 10. Follow up of Dyeing, Finishing.

  29. 11. Follow up Cutting in respect of Production and Finishing requirement. 12. Follow up of Accessories Development, Submission, Approval, Procurement and Inventory. 13. Follow up of all Samples, Pattern Correction, Graded Nest, Size Set and arrangement of Pre-production Meeting. 14. Follow up and Arrangement of all Inspection as per Buyer’s requirement. 15. Follow up of all Lab-Test of Garments and Accessories. 16. Monitor Final Inspection and Transportation of Cargo to Port with proper Load Calculation on time. 17. Monitor submission of Documents and Realization of Payment as per shipped qty and approved price.

  30. INSPECTION After making of the garments, merchandisers are supposed to arrange pre-final and final inspection. Inspection can be carried out in several ways:  Inspection by buyer  Inspection by buying house  Inspection by third party

  31. Third party inspection companies:  ITS  SGS  Bureau Veritas  TUV SUD  CTL etc.

  32. AQL: AQL is Acceptable quality limit. A statistical measurement of the maximum number of defective goods considered acceptable in a particular sample size. If the acceptable quality level (AQL) is not reached for a particular sampling of goods, manufacturers will review the various parameters in the production process to determine the areas causing the defects. AQL chart is used to inspect garments.

  33. Commercial documents  Proforma invoice (PI)  Purchase order (PO)  Bill of lading  Insurance document  Certificate of origin  Packing list  Air way bill  Commercial invoice etc

  34. Payment Methods of Payment:  Cash-in-Advance  T/T  Letter of Credit  Open Account

  35. Cash-in-Advance With this payment method, the exporter can avoid credit risk, since payment is received prior to the transfer of ownership of the goods. There are three types of cash- in advance- payment method: wire transfer, credit card, and payment by check. Letters of Credit Letters of credit (LCs) are among the most secure instruments available to international traders. An LC is a commitment by a bank on behalf of the buyer that payment will be made to the exporter provided that the terms and conditions have been met, as verified through the presentation of all required documents. The buyer pays its bank to render this service. An LC is useful when reliable credit information about a foreign buyer is difficult to obtain, but you are satisfied with the creditworthiness of your buyer’s foreign bank. An LC also protects the buyer since no payment obligation arises until the goods have been shipped or delivered as promised. The letters of credit can take many forms: irrevocable or revocable, confirmed, or special (transferable, revolving or standby).

  36. Documentary Collections A documentary collection is a transaction whereby the exporter entrusts the collection of a payment to the remitting bank (exporter’s bank), which sends documents to a collecting bank (importer’s bank), along with instructions for payment. Funds are received from the importer and remitted to the exporter through the banks involved in the collection in exchange for those documents. Documentary collections involve the use of a draft that requires the importer to pay the face amount either on sight (document against payment—D/P) or on a specified date in the future (document against acceptance—D/A).

  37. Open Account An open account transaction means that the goods are shipped and delivered before payment is due, usually in 30 to 90 days. Obviously, this is the most advantageous option to the importer in cash flow and cost terms, but it is consequently the highest risk option for an exporter. Due to the intense competition for export markets, foreign buyers often press exporters for open account terms since the extension of credit by the seller to the buyer is more common abroad. Therefore, exporters who are reluctant to extend credit may face the possibility of the loss of the sale to their competitors.

  38. Conclusion Merchandising is undoubtly the most impostant section of a garments industry. Merchandisers coordinates between all the sections. So a good garments merchandiser should have concepts about every section of the textile.
