...In-Plant Training Report 2nd Semester (BCCT) Brandix College in clothing Technology and Management(dip 16) K.A. Vidun S. Piyasumana 2 INTRODUCTION I’m a student of Brandix College who is studying College Diploma in Textile Technology & Management where my name is K.A.Vidun S. Piyasumana. This is the Report of my second semester of my In-Plant Training program. This In-Plant training will let the diploma batch students to join to different Factories and study the whole process. Since the students are beginners to the field, BCCT provided us a guide line to adjust to this environment and continue that studying with the aid of a Guide Line. As I requested some Factories and as the College appointed me, I had to start my InPlant Training in Brandix Green Plant Seeduwa. Commencing on 14th February 2013 I started the Industrial Training for the College Diploma in Clothing Technology & Management Course under the influence and Coordination by Mr. Dinesh Sampath (HR Assistant of Brandix Casualwear Seeduwa) with so many supports & advisers. Initially after walking throughout the factory, I was introduced and guided to each section to study their process, and collect information under the influence of the department chief or Incharge and also from the Minor Staff. Most of the time I had to subject myself for self study, grab the knowledge by walking to the machine Operators and the staff and also be practical in some operations to get the real idea. So therefore...

...INTRODUCTION The rapidly changing culture, politics and economics of modern life deeply affect the industrial environment, especially consumer industries such as textiles and clothing (Lowson, King & Hunter 1999). One of the impacts is that the contemporary North American and European textile and apparel industries suffer immense competition from foreign producers (Yan & Fiorito 2002). As early as the mid-1980s, imports were estimated to account for close to 50% of consumption (Lowson, King & Hunter 1999). As most imported textiles are produced with very low labor expense, huge amounts of inexpensive products can be supplied in the domestic market. Considering this situation, competitiveness in cost and quality continue to be key issues for textile manufacturers. In order to significantly reduce time and cost in the supply chain, the industry needed to become more focused on consumers by developing a supply chain management process that would be demand driven and production that would be synchronized to replenish product at the consumer's pull rate (Lovejoy 2001). Today, consumers desire to personalize the style, fit and color of the clothes they buy, and require high-quality customized products at low prices with faster delivery (Lee & Chen 1999). New manufacturing technologies such as 3D body scanners, CAD/CAM systems, and digital textile printers have played a key role in increasing the effectiveness, flexibility, agility, and precision of production. ...

...Throughout history, there have been many forms of body modification. Body modification is the act of altering one’s physical appearance for self-expression, art and aesthetic, religious beliefs, or cultural traditions. Modifications can include hair cutting, ear piercings, nose piercings, body piercings, body painting, plastic surgery, circumcision, and tattooing. Tattooing is the process of creating a design by puncturing and inserting a pigment into the skin. Globally, tattooing has spread and become an integral part of many societies. Tattooing traditions, techniques, and methods vary from culture to culture. This ancient, traditional art form is rooted in Polynesian origins. The English word “tattoo” comes from the Tahitian word “tatau,” which roughly translates to “marking or striking something” and “to inflict wounds” (Arp, 2012). In Polynesian mythology, it was believed that humans learned this art from the gods. Tattooing then became a skill passed down from generation to generation. Artists, also known as “tufuga,” were highly trained males who taught their sons the responsibilities of traditional tattooing (Losch, 2003). Some...

...Opening paragraph Background In modern times, a quilt is generally thought of as a decorative bed covering. However, the term actually originates from the sewing method. Quilting is the act of stitching through three layers of material, generally a top, a middle filler layer of down, flax or wool, and then a bottom layer. Stitching the layers to hold them together provides more insulation and warmth (History). ”One of the most universal fabric arts is quilting.” (Bonnice) In addition to providing a layer of warmth for beds, quilts were also hung over windows and doorways to help keep out the cold weather (Johnson). At first, the stitching on quilts was just a rough tying together of the material. (Lewis, p 2). The tufted quilt is tied in enough places to keep the filling from shifting and bunching (History) This method was not extremely durable, and since European women were already practiced embroiders, they began to use those techniques on quilts as well, to hold the filler materials in place better. (Lewis, p 2) Like other household goods, quilts were brough by the colonists when they came to settle here in America. (Lews, p 10) The colonists only had the fabric material they brought with them to use. Quilts were functional items, as the women did not have time for the artistic traditions of quilting which they had learned in Europe (Johnson). As these household goods wore out, blankets were patched, and even combined with old cothes and other blankets as filler material...

...OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT AT SQUARE FASHION LTD 1.0 INTRODUCTION Operations Management (OM) is defined as the design, operation and improvement of the systems that create and deliver the firm’s primary products and services. A business education is incomplete without an understanding of modern approaches to managing operations. Operations management provides a systematic way of looking at organizational processes. The concepts and tools of OM are widely used in managing other functions of a business. The employees must know how operations work effectively to perform their jobs. The best way one can have a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of Operations Management is to study a business process involving the production of goods and nothing can serve the purpose better than analysing the production of garments. With that end in view, the group studied the OM of one of the leading export-oriented garments of Bangladesh, the Square Fashions Limited (SFL). SFL is one of the leading export-oriented garments in Bangladesh. The company has earned a high reputation for its quality of products among foreign buyers, mostly the European countries. They are the producers of apparels of world-class brands like Puma, Marks & Spencer, and Crocodile. Export-oriented garments firms face stiff competitions in the global market for their place in the list of preference of the buyers and SFL is no exception to that. With frequent cancellation of orders for or rejection of readymade...

...sales slowing, and competition increasing, factory owners like Triangles Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, had only one way to keep their companies profitable. There was not a lot of investment in technology, and due to designs and raw materials staying the same, the only way to make a profit was to lower labor costs, hence the term “sweating workers.” Cheap labor was the way of the land, all in the name of productivity, profit, and ‘success’. Hundreds of workers were crammed into tiny rooms, filled with sewing machines from wall to wall with little space to move, there were no breaks for eating a proper meal, like every job today is required to provide, neither was there a letup for using the restroom. The surroundings and rules were exceptionally malicious yet additionally, the women were required to work twelve plus hours a day, which was often six days a week. Factory owners like that of Blanck and Harris charged the workers for electricity used by the sewing machines, threads, needles, and any damaged garments. The money was often docked from their paycheck leaving the worker with scanty pay of at most a dollar or a dollar and fifty cents. To keep the workers from steeling, their bags were always searched before going home, and stairwell doors were kept locked. Tt would have been impossible to be a manufacturer at that time in that sector of the economy and to be moral and ethical in behavior, it was very common for factory owners to exploit their workers in such a way, because...

...In 2002, the Timken Company was considering acquiring the Torrington Company from Ingersoll-Rand. The acquisition would make a clear statement to the market about Timken’s commitment to remain a worldwide leader in the bearing industry by combining more than 100 years of bearing manufacturing and development experience. Because the two companies shared many of the same customers but had few products in common, customers would surely appreciate that Timken’s sales representatives could meet more of their needs. Timken’s potential annual cost savings from consolidating manufacturing facilities and processes were estimated to be more than $80 million. If the price paid for Torrington were too high, Ingersoll-Rand, rather than Timken, would capture the value of the synergies. In addition, given the large size of the acquisition, Timken was concerned about the impact on its balance sheet. If Ingersoll-Rand demanded a cash deal and if Timken raised the money with new debt, the increased leverage would almost certainly prompt credit agencies to downgrade Timken’s investment-grade rating. The Bearing Industry Bearings of various sizes and specifications found their way into everything from space shuttles to household appliances, automobiles, dentist drills, roller skates, and computer disk drives. In 2001, U.S. establishments involved in ball- and roller-bearing manufacturing employed more than 33,000 workers. The bearing industry was facing a variety of complex problems. Policies...

...The history of the Amish began in Switzerland. Amish live in various regions of the United States, but the largest and oldest Amish settlement is in Wisconsin. Sixty- Four percent Amish in Wisconsin have dairy herds on their farms. The religion the Amish practice is Anabaptist. William Fischel (2012) explains the Amish religion by stating, “Adult baptism must be freely chosen by both men and women, and the choice is usually made in their late teens. Baptism is not just a covenant between the deity and the person who chooses it. Those who accept baptism agree to submit to the congregation’s ordinances and understandings that are collectively known as the ordnung”. (p.110) This explains how Anabaptist is different than Baptist. According to Fischel (2012), the ordnung is what states “Amish may not own automobiles but may ride in vehicles operated by a non-Amish drives” (p.110). This also helps to...

...The Triangle Fire In the Twentieth Century, many things were changing for the United States. With an increasing flow of immigrants, the land was ready to become home to large, technology centered corporations. With so many residents in smaller cities, labor was cheap and these companies could employ many people. However, it was far from perfect for the industrial laborers. They got paid nothing, had to complete hard, dull, rigorous work, and they often were in unsafe working environments. The most famous example of disaster in places like these was the Triangle Shirt Waist Company Fire, a tragedy that changed our nation. There was a long, unpleasant history between the Triangle Company and their hired labor. The crew, mostly women, were...

...THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF NIGERIA SERMON CRAFT FOR ELDERS By REV DR. OKEKE O NDU WHAT IS SERMON? Sermon is the principle of giving voice to the written word of god so that god will act to bless the believers. “Bless the LORD ye his angels that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the VOICE OF HIS WORD”. Psalm 103:20 “And they went forth and PREACHED EVERYWHERE and while the Lord worked with them and CONFIRMED THE MESSAGE BY THE SIGNS that attended it, AMEN Mark 16:20 “He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions” Psalm 107:20 The art of preaching is popularly called Sermon. God is ready to confirm sermons that say exactly what he wants his people to hear and be healed. How do we know what God wants the pastor to preach. To get the right message the Preacher like his brethren Apostles, evangelists etc. The PREACHER must listen to God, He must tarry with the Lord, He must get a message from him. This process of getting a message from God is what is called SERMON PREPARATION. To prepare a sermon, the preacher must bear in mind THREE ACTIVITIES that must be done. These three activities are studied in our Theological Seminaries as: 1.Hermeneutics, 2. Exegesis, 3. Homiletics A sermon should have the following in whatever order.

They have made incredible contributions to science, education, and society. Although many believe he is to be accredited with the invention of peanut butter, George Washington Carver actually gave peanuts a numerous amount of uses. According to Manning Morable on a Carver biography, “George Washington Carver's greatest accomplishment was in being a role model to a generation of young African American scientists who followed him” ("George Washington Carver - Mini Biography."). He was recruited by Booker T Washington in 1896 to teach at the Tuskegee Institute. Carver helped former slaves, along with poor white farmers, gain a more independent and economically stable life through peanuts. He...

...emotional, physical, sexual, psychological, and spiritual abuse. The residential school legacy is significant to Canada’s history because it led to significant loss of indigenous languages which also led to further cultural losses for traditional First Nation’s cultures in Canada. To start with, the residential schools system forcibly banned the Native children from recognizing their aboriginal heritage and culture or to speak their own languages. The children would be punished severely if they didn’t follow the rules. Past students of residential schools have spoken of horrendous abuse from the staff such as sticking needles into the tongue, getting beaten with razor straps, rulers or yardsticks, along with some who even got burned. Punishments such as these were horrifying and isolated the children from the influence of their homes, families, traditions, and cultures, and made them adapt to their dominant culture much faster. Because of these restrictions, the children were more willing and more induced to their own culture and ethnicity. To relate it back to one of the survivors of the residential schools Glen Anaquod, he was an orphan who attended a residential school in Saskatchewan and mentioned that, the painful things he had to go through only made him stronger and more fixated on getting to know his own culture. This is significant to Canada’s history because Canada promotes multiculturalism and the protests against residential schools led to Canada as it is...

...of punishment. Tattooing has been observed on Egyptian wall painting and also on Mummies themselves. The earliest tattoos found were over 5,000 years old. In 1991, a 5,300- year- old mummy was discovered in The Alps. He had over 50 tattoos on various parts of his body, and he is the oldest human ever found to have tattoos. Tattooing has been practiced in Japan and also other Asian countries for thousands of years. The first written record of tattooing in Japan was found in a history of the Chinese Dynasty from the year 297 A.D. Today in Japan, tattooing is considered taboo because many of the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia, wear tattoos. Some people believe that the practice of tattooing may even date as many as 10,000 years into the past! What's This? Have you ever wondered how people tattoo their bodies when they don’t have access to a tattoo gun or a professional tattoo artist? You may be surprised to learn that many people have tattooed their skin using Indian ink, a sewing needle and a few lengths of the thread. India ink (or Indian ink in British English,) or less commonly called Chinese ink since it may have been first developed in either India or China, is a simple black ink once widely used for writing and printing, and now more commonly used for drawing, especially when inking comics and comic. India ink is made by taking something and burning it to produce soot. The soot is "harvested" and made into ink. It will work, but it is really...
