Consumption Sheet preparation

For Garment business fabric consumption is very much important and also essential. When Garments get order inquiry from Buyer then fabric consumption is very much needed to make cost sheet and when order is confirm then fabric consumption need for give a booking to supplier for fabric. In time of costing if Merchandiser make a less consumption of fabric then actual need as a result factory has to pay the money for fabric so the percentages of profit is less and sometime factory has to pay from their own pocket.  The less consumption of fabric is very much responsible dos a loss of factory. As like this if consumption of fabric is more then need then also factory has to face a great loss. Also buyer loses their attraction or wish of giving the order.  

On the other hand, after confirming the order with Buyer when garment give a order in fabric manufacturing factory in that they must have to be very much alert cause if they ordered less fabric then industry will short shipped the garment so as a result factory has to face a heavy loss and as well as Buyer can be unsatisfied and then they van also ask money against the short shipped and their loss. If factory order more fabric then need then extra fabric is stay in factory so factory has to face a loss here also. Factory has to face economic loss as well as it has to share the in-house place also. Sometimes for importing more fabric then need factory can have police case also.

For making a perfect and correct consumption merchandisers have to take care some important things. That are-

1. For a correct consumption of garments, merchandisers should have knowledge about the making of Garments. They have to know how to sewing each and every part of garments and how much extra fabric has to attach with the main measurement foe seam allowance.
2. Merchandiser has to keep a calculation for Garments sleeve hem, bottom hem, inner facing etc for extra fabric when they make consumption.
3. According to order if there is any matching required or any washing, dying, printing is required then extra fabric should include in consumption.  
4. According to fabric width (like 44/45, 51/58) then it’s essential when we make a consumption. We should take care of it when we give an order in fabric manufacturing company. The booking of fabric must be base on the fabric width.
5. Merchandiser also has to keep in head about the Shrinkage problem, so extra allowance is essential when factory make a pattern.
6. Fabric Consumption is to made according to as per Garments size ratio for per dozen.
