Consumption Calculation of Woven Garments

Consumption and costing is a primary requisite for a merchandiser. Fabric cost bears aprox 40% to 45% of the total
cost of any garments so calculation of correct fabric consumption is very important.

Pls see below example of fabric consumption calculation

1. During the consumption pls used measurement of middle size for calculation or used the size which has most of
the qty.
2. Except Cutting or sewing wastage, fabric wastage also depends on additional elements which. If the garments
have special print, wash, embellishment etc than the fabric wastage will be more than normal wastage
3. You should know the fabric width to calculate consumption.

How to calculate the CM (Cost Of Making) Of A

Garment

How to calculate the CM

(Cost Of Making) Of A Garment
Calculation of cm is a important part of merchandising profile. At costing meeting stage, supplier only
gets one sample of the garment and specification of fabric and trims for the reference.
So its really important to calculate the correct cost of making to get the correct costing.
This post will help you all to calculate the COST OF MAKING.
To find out the CM of a garment, you must know below:

i) Monthly total expenditure (running cost) of factory (rent, wages, electricity bill, water bill,
transportation, repairing etc).

ii) Total no of machines in the factory

iii) Number of machine required to complete this style (line layout of style)
iv) Estimated Production output per hour
v) Total working days (month)
vi) Daily working hours
Calculation Of CM:
For Example:Monthly Cost of Running:- 25,00,000 INR
Total no of Machines

:- 500

No of machines required for style: - 45

Estimated Production output per hour: - 55
Total Working days :-26
Daily working hours :-8
= {(Monthly total cost of running / 26) / (Total Machines) X (Number of machine required for style)} /
[{(estimated Production output per hr) X 8}]
= [{(25,00,000 / 26) / ( 500 ) X (45)} / {(55) X 8}]
= [{96153.85 / (500) X (45) } / 440]
= (8653.85 / 440)
= 19.67 INR Per pcs.
