Techniques and Manufacture
Content
• The development systems and their
procedures.
• The range of their hands, equipment and
devices used in fabric manufacturing.
• CAD/CAM
• Production Flowcharts
• Quality Control and Top quality Assurance

The production systems and their
processes
There are three primary kinds of
manufacturing program.
• One-off
• Batch
• Mass Objectives
•Understand what is meant by one-
off, batch, and mass production.
•Understand line production and
subassembly systems
•Consider cost implications when
selecting method of production

One-off
• One-off manufacturing is developing and
making a single material product to a
customer's requirements. The clothing
design is designed from a primary prevent
design, with a model made from affordable
material to test the decorate, fit and set up
of the clothing.

Task
•Look in magazines and cut out
pictures to make a collection of
designer outfits from catwalk shows.
Why are these garments made by
one-off production? How much do
these clothes and accessories cost
to buy?

Group Production
• Team manufacturing is manufacturing set
levels of a fabric product to order. The design is
designed up in a method dimension from the
designed content. The design is analyzed for
quality of design and generate, then put into
manufacturing in a variety of normal dimensions.
The quality of products are different from a set of
four cushions created by a designer-maker, to
20,000 jumpers designed for a purchasing area.

Mass production
• Huge manufacturing is industrial-scale
production of bulk of items, usually on a
manufacturing line. Huge manufacturing is
suitable for items that rarely need to be
remodeled and are needed in very huge
numbers, eg footwear or denims.

Systems and sub-systems
In a manufacturing program, a variety of different
developing and manufacturing procedures or
sub-systems occur at the same time. Types of
sub-systems are:
• Lay-planning is the resting out of design
items of a content to work out the amount
and cost of content required for an item.
• Costing is working out how much each item
expenses in regards to such as components,
labor, lease and energy expenses.

Just-in-time stock control (JIT)
This is an affordable method of purchasing
elements and sub-assemblies to appear
just before they are needed. Stock space
for storage time is decreased but any
errors and supply will hold manufacturing
up.
Summary
•Hand-crafted, exclusive products are made individually using the one-off production
system.
•For a fixed number of identical products, batch production is cost effective.
•Mass production usually includes production lines
•Subassemblies are made separately before they are joined to the main product.

Plotter/Cutting machines
Computer systems are used for creating Lay programs
which work out exactly where to place each design piece
to best use the material. Remember lost material is lost
money!
A plotter would indicate out the design items and any
development guidelines such as darts.
A CAM reducing device instantly reduces out the items
following the lay plan. It reduces the material easily and
perfectly using straight blades, underhand water
airplanes or laser treatment. Many levels can be cut out
at once which means less labor costs and more
efficiency
A Group saw can be used by a experienced owner. It is
used for reducing through several levels of material
easily. Steel sequence email safety gloves are used to
guard the employees arms.

Sewing machines.
These variety from easy devices to ones that do professional
projects such as buttonholes, overlocking material sides or CAD
CAM devices that sew out motifs
· Lockstitch –Used for stitching joints (Straight stitch)
· Over locker—Stitches, reduces and completes joints in one process
· Seam cover—Used for stitching buckle loops
· Automatic buttonhole—Used for stitching buttonholes
· CAD/CAM—Multihead embroidering machine

Summary
•Appropriate tools and equipment should be selected, used correctly and safely, and stored in the
designated place.
•A wide variety of tools and equipment are required when designing and making
•Efficient and accurate use of tools and equipment will help ensure that high-quality products are
made.

CAD
• USING COMPUTERS TO DESIGN AND PRESENT
• Computers are used by developers for:
• Writing records and developing show forums, such as
paintings, written text, excel spreadsheets, charts and
tables
• Putting together glide show presentations
• Digital electronic photography and movie making
• Designing and sampling
• Supplementing illustrating and coloring with use of
professional style software, e.g. Rate Step.
Objectives
•Understand the benefits of using computers in manufacturing.
•Appreciate the link between CAD & CAM

PROGRAMMES USED BY DESIGNERS
These include:
Microsoft Workplace - Term, Succeed,
PowerPoint, Publisher
Drawing offers – Colour, Adobe photo shop,
CorelDraw
Image modifying – Photoshop
Specialist Style application, e.g. Rate Step

DRAWING USING SOFTWARE
• Illustrating application can be used to style, demonstrate and show
working sketches. Attracted collections and forms or photography
pictures can be brought in and modified, or examined to operate
and create concepts. Selections with a range of managing products
can be designed from one preliminary idea.
• With some professional application it is possible to get a 3D impact
of the style by spinning the style and seeing it from different
opinions. The developer can use the computer to imitate hanging
and following their every move to create a genuine picture of the
style. Also, concepts for different colourways can be examined and
a number of printed, knitted or weaved material styles can be trialled
on display, to see the impact of each different mixture of color and
structure.

USE OF ICT FOR PRESENTATION
The designer can present ideas to the client on screen or
printed on to presentation boards, or via e-mail, and then
quickly modify them according to client feedback.
Promotional material developed from design work can be
adapted for use on websites, business stationery and
advertising and marketing materials, such as point of
sale literature and display posters. Computers make this
development of related design work a quicker process

Exam Tips
• Ensure that that you understand the
different positions of customers,
developers, producers and customers.
• You need to know what a manufacturing
plan and time-table are - and the main
distinction between them.
• Make sure that you know the main
distinction between one-off, group and
huge manufacturing.

Production Plan
Production planning
• Manufacturing programs and work
programs are essential preparing
resources in group and huge production.
• The production strategy should set out
details about all the levels of production,
so that every method made to the same
top quality. See example below:
