Garments Merchandising Flow Chart

Order Inquiry and Product Development

Business Development/Order Enquiry: Initial communication with the buyer, introducing factory profiles and receiving inquiries or sample requests.

Receive Order Details/Tech Pack: The buyer provides detailed specifications, sketches, measurement charts, and material requirements.

Sample Development: The sampling department creates various samples (proto, fit, size set, salesman, pre-production) as per the buyer's specifications for approval.

Costing, Negotiation, and Order Confirmation

Costing: The merchandiser calculates the total cost (fabric, trims, cut-make-trim, overheads, profit) and prepares a price quotation.

Negotiation: The merchandiser negotiates price, quality standards, and delivery timelines with the buyer.

Order Confirmation: The buyer issues a Purchase Order (P.O.) sheet, officially confirming the order.

Time & Action Plan (T&A): A detailed timeline for all subsequent activities is prepared to monitor progress and ensure on-time delivery.

Sourcing and Approvals

Raw Material Booking & Sourcing: The merchandiser makes a requisition to the purchase department for bulk fabric, yarn, and accessories based on the P.O. and T&A plan.

Lab Dip/Swatch/Trims Approval: Swatches and lab dips (color samples) are sent to the buyer for approval before bulk material production/procurement begins.

Pre-Production Sample (PP Sample) Approval: A sample is made with actual materials to get final approval for bulk production.

Production Planning and Execution

Pre-Production Meeting (PPM): A meeting with all relevant department heads (production, quality control, cutting, etc.) is held to ensure smooth execution and address potential issues.

Production Planning & Control (PPC): The production file is handed over to the PPC department, which manages the production schedule and ensures material availability.

Bulk Production: The main manufacturing process begins, including cutting, stitching, and finishing (washing, ironing, etc.).

Quality Control and Logistics

Quality Control & Inspections: Inline and pre-final inspections are conducted by the quality control team and/or third-party agencies to ensure quality standards are met.

Final Inspection: The final inspection is performed before the goods are packed for shipment.

Shipment: The finished, inspected, and packed garments are dispatched to the buyer as per the agreed Incoterms (e.g., FOB, CIF).

Documentation and Payment

Documentation: All necessary documents (invoice, packing list, bill of lading, etc.) are sent to the buyer.
