OBJECTIVE OF INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT


B. Sc in Textile Technology is the combination of theoretical knowledge along
with the practical experience. We as the Graduates of Textile Technology
must acquire adequate practical knowledge to cope up with the challenge
that we will face in future. This is the why the Industrial Training has been
included in our academic curriculum.

The main objective of this training is to comprehend our theoretical


knowledge along with the practical knowledge. It also enables us to orient
ourselves with the practical environment that we will work in future. We
systematically learned about various steps of garment manufacturing.
Moreover we knew about the man management technique. We also learned
about merchandising and buyer co-ordination.

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.

Industrial attachment is an essential part of four years B.Sc. in Textile


technology course of College Of Textile Technology under University of Dhaka.
We had the opportunity to perform the industrial attachment with OPEX
GROUP LTD. During 60 days long attachment, we studied the man, machine,
material, quality control section, planning section, grey fabric inspection,
finished fabric inspection, dyeing & finishing section, merchandising section of
the mill. We also had a short visit in the garments section of the factory.

MAINTENANCE:
Maintenance of machineries is very important for any type of industries and it is a
must for a knit composite mill. All machines and machines parts of Washing, dyeing and
garments are maintained with extreme care. Because production quality and quantity, both
depends on the maintenance with regularity. OPEX FASHIONLTD lead maintenance with a
troop of skilled mechanical fitters.
MAINTENANCE OF MACHINERY:
In the knitting floor of OFL all machine are maintained regularly and as
necessity requirements. Here, different type of maintenance of machinery, which is taken,
different time on the machineries.
ROUTINE:

1) Daily Maintenance: Every machine is taken maintenance daily by the


operators during production. When the operator starts a production after handing over from
previous shift operator, he takes a routine maintenance on the
machine. He cleans the machine, assures yarn is fed to all needles, cleans the eye pot of
feeder, memminger, signal lamp sensor etc. Before a while of a roll cut from batch or cloth
roller, operator cleans needles, cylinder base plate etc. All around of the machine are kept neat
and clean as if there is no dirt with yarn in the fabric.
2) Schedule/Routine Maintenance: Every machine has a schedule of maintenance
of 10 or 15 days. According to date, schedule maintenance is taken on the machines.
Operators are informed about the time of maintenance. After pre-estimated production, they
hand over the machine to the fitters. Thus, fitters assure all machines are OK. For any time.
3) Break down maintenance: When product quality hampered and to complete
production in due time break down maintenance is taken. There are many faults seen in the
fabric during production due to needle, sinker, take down roller etc. Then operators inform the
mechanical fitters and they fix it.
4) Restorative maintenance: Restorative maintenance is taken for design change
or new design development. According to advice or order of production officer, a machine is
fixed for new design and mechanical fitters rearrange cam and needle system.
Planned and preventive maintenance are not taken on the machineries in this mill.

MAINTENANCE OF SEWING M/C:


Lubrication:
Since the life of the m/c and its correct working depend to a large extend adequate
and proper lubrication. It is recommended that the instructions given in the lubrication charts
be followed conscientiously. The Company can not be need responsible for faults that arise
from wrong or inadequate lubrication.
Oiling Needles:
Too much oil is preferable to too little. Dark vertical lines in the fabric originate not
from excessive oiling .
The Cleaning of Needle:
Thin oil is most suitable for this work, about one point heated to a temperature not
exceeding 160F poured into the oiling position of the m/c.
General Cleaning Schedule:
Long m/c life, maximum output & trouble free running depend upon proper care
and maintenance. A general overhaul should take place annually when single shifts are
worked & correspondingly at more frequent interval.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:
1) For there is any mechanical fault of machine, which is responsible for
production hamper, operator informs mechanical fitters in duty. Mechanical fitters come and
observe the problem firstly, and then they begin to fix it.
2) If mechanical fitters were unable to fix it, then they inform technical in-charge,
he then comes in spot and fixes it.
3) For there is any electrical problem of machine or serious founding mechanical
problem, mechanical and electrical department are informed, they come and fix the problem.
4) For restorative maintenance, senior production officer orders mechanical
fitters to fit required machine for cam and needle arrangement and other necessary
requirements in case of new design development.

Relative humidity..62%
Procedure: The repair, maintenance, setting and replacement procedure are described below:1. Repair: Repair work is carried out when a component requires slight modification.
To carry out such job the machine needs to be switched off first. The component
under repair is then screwed off by suitable apparatus. After repairing, the part is
fixed to its designated place and hence its correctness is measured by running the
machine. In a lockstitch machine bobbin case, bobbin, check spring, feed dog.
Motor belt etc can undergo repair job.
a. Maintenance: Maintenance can be of different types. But following types are
important in this aspect.
b. Routine maintenance: lubrication and regular inspection are the constituent of
routine maintenance. Lubrication ensures long life and safe working of all the
equipment. Inspection tries to detect faults in equipment so that repairs and
replacement may be under taken at the right time.
c. Scheduled maintenance: this type of maintenance provides for inspection,
overhaul lubrication and servicing of the machine, cleaning of all components is
normally done in this manner. It involves opening of the machine into its smallest
component and carry out lubrication.

Stitch density controller: It controls the no of stitch per inch. Before starting the
machine, stitch per inch is determined by rotating the knob and fixing it at the
desired position.
b. Motor: Motor rpm depicts the speed of the machine. The rpm is controlled by
tightening or looseness the belt over machine & motor pulley.
a.

c. Needle: needle undergoes accurate setting to ensure proper sewing. Needle is


attached by means of a screw which needs to be tightened enough to produce easy
sewing. Again the needle size is also important from fabric point of view.
d. Pressure foot: The type of pressure foot to be used & its proper setting is
important which is ensured by proper attachment with the motor through machine
pulley.
e. Feed dog: It is often found that due to random working the feed dog is subjected to
be loose which may cause accident also. Thus the feed dog must be set properly
with the screw.
3. Replacement: The replacement is revealed when the retention of equipment is no
more remain an economical proposition. A replacement is affected when the
equipment is subjected to complete breakage which cannot be used even after repair
or the component has become so obsolete that affects production or it has crossed
its expire date. Replacement can be affected to any components of the machine at
any time. In lockstitch machine components like needle, pressure foot, feed dog etc
undergo frequent replacement.
Precaution: Following precautions must be taken when repair, setting maintenance is carried
out in the lockstitch machine.
1. All repair & maintenance work must be carried out by switching off the
machine.
2. Right tools should be used at right place.
3. Skilled personnel should be involved for specialized job.

Blower motor: 25 HP
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

Water treatment plant: There is no Water treatment plant in Mirpur but one in
Kanchpur.
GAS:

The source of gas is government agency. Gas is required mainly for


generation of electricity, boiler to produce steam, the burners of heat setting m / c.

OPEX GROUP

47

Industrial Attachment Report

2013

As OFL generates their own electricity, the gas consumption is quite high. The gas
consumption is 250-350 m / hr.
COST OF DIFFERENT UTILITIES:
Electricity cost:
REB =3.8 TK / KW-HR
Gas generator = 2.70 TK / KW-HR
Diesel generator = 6.50 TK / KW-HR
Gas cost:

4.94 Tk/m for boiler


3.66 Tk/m for generator
4.5 Tk/m for domestic purpose

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.

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.
