Woven Costing Format.

Consumption for Woven Bottom


Length X Width X 2 Part X Dzn / Fabric Inch in 01 Yds / Fabric Width* Supporting parts %  +Wastage %

So,
35" X 32" X 2 X 12 / 36 / 56 * 20% + 10 % (for cotton item)

Obviously, consider the measurement in Inch.
For the cotton fabric you must take 10% for wastage
For the cotton+elastane  fabric you must take 15% for wastage



Also, for supporting parts you may make consumption and add with main consumption.

How do find out the collar measurement?

If you have no idea that, what will be the collar length of your Polo shirt. Then pls follow the below instruction.

At first you need the following information :

i) Neck width of the polo shirt. (Suppose it is 22 cm)  
ii) F/neck drop. (Suppose it is 4 cm)

Rule:
= (((Neck width + Neck drop ) X 2) -3)-12.5%

= (((22+4)X2)-3)-12.5%

= ((26X2)-3)-12.5%

= ((52)-3)-12.5%

= (49)-12.5%

= 42.9 cm
How do calculate Yards from Kgs


Find out the calculations of Yards from kgs: (in knit fabric)

Say,
       Fabric GSM   - 140
       Fabric width   -  45"
       Fabric Weight -  0.49181 kg

Rules:

Fabric length  =  Fabric weight / ( Fab width X Fab GSM /1550 / 1000)

Fabric length  =  0.49181 / ( 6300 / 1550 / 1000)

Fabric length  =  0.49181 / 0.00406451612

Fabric length  = 121" (where the fab width is 45" open)

Farbic length  = 3.3611 yards    (121/36")

Machine Wise Sewing Thread Consumption PER Inch

From this post you will get information regarding the sewing thread consumption depending on type of Machine :

Machine Name   Classification    Require thread/inch
Plain Machine, 
       1 Needle,                   2.5"  
Plain Machine         2 Needle                     5"
Over lock               3 Thread                  13.25"
Over lock               4 Thread                  16.75"
Over lock               5 Thread                  18.75"
Flat lock                 3 Thread                  16.75"
Flat lock                 5 Thread                  22.25"
     
Bar tack stitching                          7" Generally P/Operation

Button hole stitching                     7" Generally Per Hole

Button Attaching (2 hole)                 3" Per button
Feed of the ARM                           7" For one needle
Kanchai Stitching                          7" For one needle
Back Tape Stitching                      7" For one needle

After this you must include another 25% sewing thread before place the work order.
COST OF MAKING (CM) 


= {(Monthly total expenditure of the following factory / 26) / (Qty of running Machine of your factory of the following month) X (Number of machine to complete the layout)} / [{(Production capacity per hr from the existing layout,excluding alter & reject) X 8}] X 12 / (Dollar conversion rate)

= [{(50,00,000 / 26) / ( 100 ) X (25)} / {(200) X 8}] X 12 / 74


= [{192307.7 / (100) X (25) } / 1600] X 12 / 74 


= (48,076.9 / 1600) X 12 / 74


= 30.048 X 12 / 74


= 360.58 / 74


= $4.873 / dozen (this is the making cost (12 pcs) of the following items) 


However, normally at present (after starting the new salary scale)in Bangladesh we calculate the CM of any item consider the overhead sewing machine cost 1200 tk to 1400 tk/day that means $16.216 to $18.92/per day. 

The above is for a non-compliance factory. For the a compliance factory the per day machine cost will be 1800 tk to 2100 tk ( $24.32 to $28.37)



SO, if the an item produces 1600 PCs per day using 25 machines, then the CM will be 

= Overhead machine cost X require machine 
/ produce quantity X 12 / $74

= 1400 X 25 / 1600 X 12 / 74


= $3.547/DOZ
