INTRODUCTION
By achieving practical knowledge it is possible to apply the theoretical
knowledge in the technical field. For any technical education, practical
experience is almost equally necessary in association with the theoretical
knowledge. The industrial attachment is the most effective process of achieving
the practical experience. It provides us sufficient practical knowledge about
production management, productivity, evaluation, work study, efficiency,
industrial management, production planning & control, production cost analysis,
inventory control, purchasing, utilities and Maintenance of machinery and their
operation technique etc.

Water supply for the boiler:
Water required for steam production is supplied by deep tube well.
Pretreatment of the boiler water:
Boiler feed water needs special standard. Any deviation from the
required standard may result in scale formation, which eventually reduces the
efficiency of the boiler. This ultimately affects the cost of steam generation and
makes the production cost high. To maintain the required standard of the water,
there should be some means to pretreat the boiler feed water. To protect scale
formation of boiler, NELCO is used as chemical in water feed tank. 200 gm NELCO
is injected per 12 hrs. In OFL there are water softeners that act before the water
enters the boiler.
.
No. Of the softener :
There is one water softener to pretreat the boiler feed water.
COMPRESSED AIR:
The compressed air is supplied from air compressor. There two -air
compressors in OFL.
Compressor Brand name Hitachi Screw Compressor

Diesel generator = 6.50 TK / KW-HR
Gas cost:
Steam cost:
4.30 Tk per kg fabric.
REMARKS:
For smooth running of factory main utilities like gas, electricity or
steam is very essential. Sometimes gas pressure is low than required pressure. When
the gas pressure is low, then diesel generator run. Government should have to ensure
proper gas supply for Industrial purpose.

2013
INTRODUCTION:
Costing is a process by which the setting price of a product is calculated. It is a
very important task for a factory, which runs for business purposes.
And it is also strictly followed in the OFL. Costing of the products considering the raw
materials expenditure, salary and wages of officers and workers, distributions and
advertisement expenses etc. all direct and indirect expenses is done in this factory. It is
determined by a troop of accountants with advice and consultancy of executive director.
PRICE OF THE PRODUCT:
Generally price of product is determined by the required profit adding to the total
expenses. So,
Price of products= (Direct expenses + Indirect expenses + Factory
Overhead) + Required profit
PRICE RANGE OF DIFFERENT PRODUCTS:
Shirt = $11.75 - $28.50 /Pcs
Jacket =$15.00 - $35.50 /Pcs
Kids Wear ==$10- $29/Pcs
REMARKS:
Costing is very important for a productive factory. Without proper costing all production
curriculums will go to vain. Because a factory cannot reach to its goal without achieving good
profit and good profit is not possible without skillful costing. In OFL there are some skillful
personnel to do this job.

REMARKS
No live industry can keep place with the advance of technology without continuous
renewal & transformation of its production facilities. Existing equipments must be kept on the
defensive, compelled always to justify its tenure against the challenge of new & more modern
machines. If any piece of existing equipment fails to meet this challenge, it must be displaced,
regardless of its age or condition & regardless of whether it is physically worn out.
Keeping the above in view, this industry is always replacing its existing machines in
order to increase productivity & improve quality.

Garment merchandising is an intricate and detail oriented job. If it can be done properly can
be very rewarding. On the country, if it is done with lack of knowledge, insufficient skill and
thoroughness, it can be destructive.
In the Standard Group very skilled and experienced personnel run the merchandising section.
After receiving an order, the merchandiser with the help of pattern master calculates the total
consumption of fabric. Then according to the cost detail sheet and the price mentioned by the
buyer costing is done. After the price is negotiated with the buyer order is placed to the
suppliers of raw material and accessories.
The manufacturing factory as per the requirement suppliers the fabric and a ledger is
maintained regularly to assess the production status. The accessories such as label, button,
zipper, sewing thread, packing materials are collected from outside [sometime mentioned by
the buyer] through back-to-back L/Cs. The merchandising department also looks for the
sources for procuring yarns to produce fabric.
Merchandising section monitors the production status regularly and ensure timely delivery of
the shipment.

CONCLUSION:
OPEX GROUP is a pioneer group in garments sector in our country.Bangladesh is a
developing nation. RMG Sector earns the Prime share of our foreign currency.
Development of this sector will definitely bring good fortune for our country. We
being the graduates of Textile Engineering must give our sincere effort to the future
advancement of RMG and related sector. Moreover from 1 January 2005, we will
enter into the quota free world where quality, lesser lead-time and low price will be
the key to success.
When the development of the country was at a stand still position
due to the legacy of shattered economy and the industrialization was stagnant, the
export oriented textile and RMG sector had shown the ray of hope by its allpervasive positive impact on the national economy. At the fag end of the eighty, this
sector started expanding and within a short period of its existence, this nascent
industry became the largest foreign exchange earner.
Standing at the verge of a new millennium, Textile and RMG
sector is now the heart of our national economy. Even after all this achievements,
this industry faces the major challenge of global adjustment in the coming years
when it has to respond the new trading arrangement after 2004.
OPEX GROUP LTD being a part of this decisive sector will have
to take necessary measure to cope with the change of globalization. Modification of
the technical arrangement with the advancement of technologies and good positive
approach will help to survive in this ever-changing global economy.
Hopefully, the confidence and foresight of the entrepreneurs and
the enthusiastic teamwork of the professionals will take OPEX GROUP LTD to an
even better position.
