Standard Operating Procedure For Cad: CAD/Pattern Room SOP, Procedure and Working Flow Chart in Apparel Industry

The document outlines the standard operating procedure for computer-aided design (CAD) in the garment manufacturing process. CAD is used to create patterns digitally, allowing for easier control of measurements, shapes, and patterns. It also helps to reduce marker making time and waste, increase efficiency, and improve accuracy. The CAD department receives tech packs from merchandising, creates patterns, calculates fabric consumption, gets approval from buyers, and produces markers for samples and bulk production. Key steps include pattern grading, sample production, fitting approval, and marker printing for cutting.

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR CAD

CAD, Computer-aided design, garments pattern made in a computer using different CAD software. CAD is the 1st
step of Garments manufacturing, garments measurement, shape and pattern can be controlled easily.

Purpose of using CAD in Garments:

1. For reducing time in marker making.

2. For reducing Marker Wastage.

3. For increasing marker efficiency.

4. To make the marker accuracy.

5. To calculate the fabric consumption accurately.

CAD/Pattern Room SOP, Procedure and working Flow chart in Apparel

Note: 1.Callibration of plotter has been an important procedure of CAD room so the calibration has been perform
every after 15 days of cycle.
CAD section/ Department Flow chart SOP is described briefly:
Initial tech pack/PDM receives from merchandising dept.:
Firstly have to know about the tech pack / PDM (Product development Method) sheet. The sheet which contains all
detailed description about a definite garment is known as tech pack/PDM sheet. CAD section collects it from the
merchandiser at first.

Create a new Pattern:


In this step, the CAD department develop a pattern according to tech pack requisition. “Pattern” is a hard paper which
contains all single parts of a garment.

Calculate fabric consumption:


Consumption means – How much fabric needs to produce a garment. With the revolution of scientific invention
nowadays it does not need to calculate manually. It is already calculated by CAD software.

Send consumption to Buyer:


After calculating the consumption, the report send to buyer for approval. The less consumption you can submit the
more chance to get an order for those styles.

Consumption Approval:
If buyer satisfy with the consumption report, Then a buyer approved the report and agree to place an order.

Order Confirmation:
Here Order is confirmed by buyer. If the buyer confirm an order, the garments maker may go forward for the next
process.

Receive E-Pattern, Block and fit sample from a buyer:


CAD section receive E-pattern, Block and fit sample from buyer. A block sample means the pattern without
allowance. Fit sample means the sample fit for a dummy.

Pattern Grading: Grading means the size variation from the master size. Firstly a pattern is created with the
standard Size, then it would be grading according to all size. suppose, S, M, L, XL, XXL size are ordered. L is the
master size pattern. Then S, M, XL, XXL are created based on master size.

Submit to buyer: After completing grading the complete pattern are submitted to a buyer for approval.
If Approve, then go for marker making for a sample. If not, it will be rejected and comments for the remake.
Marker Making for a sample:
For Sample making marker is created. Marker is a thin paper that bears all the parts of garments. Here Marker is
created by CAD software.

Shrinkage and sewing loss adjustment:


During pattern making, they adjust the shrinkage and sewing thread loss tendency at the warp and weft direction.

Sample Making for bulk production:


Now the sample is created for bulk production.

Approve sample from buying a house:


In this step, The sample for bulk is approved from buying house. Then go for bulk.

Marker making for size set: According to the required size, marker is produced by CAD.
Marker Printing: Now the created marker is ready for print.

Cut size set: Size set marker used for trial cutting. Then check measurement before and after wash.

P.P meeting: P.P means (pre-production) meeting. Here the P.P meeting arranged so that styling never be a mistake.

Pattern Correction: If any problem found in size set, In the P.P meeting the solution will be given where the pattern
would be correct.

Marker printing by Plotter: The plotter machine is used for marker printing. The completed marker is print
through it.

Send marker to cutting: Marker is ready to send the cutting section.

Marker lay: After spreading the fabric on the cutting table the marker is placed on it. Before Cutting the marker is
checked very carefully, whether any parts or size are missing or not.

Bulk cutting: If everything is okay then bulk cutting start. A straight knife is used to cut. During cutting Production
proper tension should be maintained.
