Apparel manufacturing:
Garment is a basic need of human being. It’s manufacturing process is complicated. Garment/Apparel manufacturing processing depends on some steps and techniques. It starts from order receiving and will be end to dispatching shipment of the finished garments. A process flow chart helps to understand how raw materials are moved from one process to another process until raw materials are transformed into the desired product (garments).

In details apparel manufacturing sequence are given below:
| Operation | Job | Method | ||
| 01. Design/sketch | Buyers provide manufacturers with sketches, which include measurements of the style. | Manual/computerized | ||
| 02. Basic block | Without any allowance | Manual/computerized | ||
| 03. Working pattern | Creating a net dimension diagram for each product, known as a pattern, and using it throughout the manufacturing process. We call it a working pattern. | Manual/computerized | Manual/computerized | |
| 04. Sample making | After receiving all of the speeches, a sample is created and delivered to the buyers for approval to correct any errors. | Manual | ||
| 05. Basic manufacturing difference | The critical route, or the problem that arises during the several procedures, has been identified. | Manual | ||
| 06. Approved sample | After correcting the flaws, the sample is sent back to the buyers. If everything checks out, it is referred to as an approved sample. | Manual | ||
| O7. Costing | Fabric necessary.Making chargeTrimmingsProfits | Manual | ||
| 08. Production pattern | Add allowance with net dimension. | Manual/computerized | ||
| 09. Grading | It is done in different sizes. | Manual/computerized | ||
| 10. Marker making | Maker is a tiny piece of paper that contains all of the components in various sizes of a specific style. | Manual/computerized | ||
| 11. Fabric spreading | Fabric is spreaded in lay form. | Manual/computerized | ||
| 12. Cutting | To cut fabric according to dimensions using specific cutters. | Manual/computerized | ||
| 13. Sorting or bundling | Sort the components by size and create separate bundles for each size. | Manual | ||
| 14. Sewing | The operation involves the use of many types of sewing machines. Quality inspection is also done throughout that period.Sort the components by size and create separate bundles for each size. | Manual | ||
| 15. Ironing and finishing | Garments are treated with steam. There are also numerous finishing methods, such as extra loose thread trimming. | Manual | ||
| 16. Final inspection | Should meet specs given by buyer. | Manual | ||
| 17. Packing | Poly packing. | Manual | ||
| 18. Cartooning | After packing, the clothing are packed in a sturdy paper box for export to minimize damage. The cartoons incorporate all of the information on the box based on buyer specifications. | Manual | ||
| 19. Send to buyer | If everything is ok, it is sent to the buyer. | Manual | ||
