Knitting:
In my previous article, I discussed a basic flowchart of knit merchandising. Today, I would like to discuss another topic about knitting, which is the total knitting process with a flow chart. If we describe it, then merchant work is started when sampling starts for order confirmation. Sampling is a process where we develop samples as per buyer requirement and need to dispatch them on time because sampling is a way for order confirmation. After that, the development sample buyer selects some samples and needs costing, and this is a key role in order because if the buyer is satisfied with the cost, then they confirm the order.
Knitting Process:
Once an order is confirmed buyer needs T&A called time and an action plan for order execution because buyers need that to provide maximum order in minimum time through better time management, so T&A is most important. After that lab dip approvals for sample color, yarn order for knitting of the garment, Trims order and approval for CMT, pre-production sample approval for production go ahead, pre-production meeting for buyer satisfaction (we execute production on time), after that CMT follow up on the floor that garment is manufactured as per approved sample. Before starting production, we hand over the production file to quality assurance to ensure garment quality. also need to send the garment in testing to ensure that the garment is passing all testing parameters as per buyer requirements.

Shipment samples are sent in the middle of production if the buyer needs to ensure that your sample is developing as per your requirement. When finishing and packing are done, we offer a final inspection to the buyer then the buyer sends their quality team for a final inspection. When the quality person is satisfied with the garment quality, then he passes the garment and the goods are ready for dispatch. Generally, these all process handles by merchandiser and the process is called knit merchandising.
