Abstract:
This thesis is going to address the detailed method used to make T shirt sample models as the process is of important concern to the garments manufacturing cycle. Sample is a prototype step, and it makes sure that the end product will match specifications of buyers, i.e. design, fit, fabric and quality. The paper investigates some of the important stages - the receipt of the tech pack and the selection of raw materials, pattern making, sewing, quality control. The focus is especially on the importance of the sample development process in terms of the minimization of errors during the bulk production, decrease in lead times, and an increase in buyer satisfaction. Issues like the communication gap between design and production departments as well as variation in materials are also dealt with. By implementing the case studies and practical observations in the textile industry, the research will calculate best practices to streamline the sampling process. As revealed, the study stresses the role of coordination between merchandising, production, and quality control units in supplying the correct examples that gain confirmation of orders. The work will be of help to textile engineers who need to improve efficiency and quality of the produced textiles especially T-shirts.
