Cutting Room

costs The cutting room has a greater effect on excessive manufacturing costs than any other department concerned with the actual production of garments.  Internal costs  – those incurred in the cutting room itself.  External costs  – those incurred by other departments as a result of the malfunctions m alfunctions of the cutting room.

Cut order planning It translates customer orders into cutting orders.  It is the process that coordinates customer orders with all the variables of mar'er ma'ing- spreading- and cutting to minimie total production costs and meet customer demand for timely products.  It see's most effective use of labore/uipment- fabric and space. 

Responsibilities of Cut 0rder &lanning 











xamining incoming orders and piece goods width and availability )etermining volume- sie ratios- and sectioning procedures for mar'er ma'ing )etermining whether file mar'ers are available or new ones are needed )eveloping specifications for optimum mar'er ma'ing and fabric utiliation )etermine most effective use of spreading and cutting e/uipment and personnel Issuing orders for mar'er ma'ing- spreading and cutting

!ar'er planning

Lay planning

!ar'er planning is to determine the most efficient combination of sies and shades for each order and to produce the best fabric yield and e/uipment utiliation  Lay is a stac' of fabric plies that have been prepared for cutting  Lay planning is the basis of managing cutting room labor and table space 

!ar'er !a'ing 



Marker  is a diagram of a precise arrangement of

pattern pieces for a specific style and the sies to be cut from a single spread. Marker Making is the process of determining the most efficient layout of pattern pieces for a specified style- fabric- and distribution of sies 6re/uires time- s'ill and concentration7

!anually produced

Computeried mar'er ma'ing

)imensions of mar'er   



!ar'ers are made to fit the cuttable widths of fabrics. Blocked or sectioned markers contain all of the pattern pieces for one style in one or two sies. Continuous markers contain all the pattern pieces for all sies included in a single cutting. Splice marks are points in mar'er where fabric can be cut and the next piece overlapped to maintain a continuous spread. They are planned in continuous mar'er.

Types of !ar'ers 0pen mar'er – !ar'er made with full pattern pieces Closed !ar'er – mar'er made with half garment parts pieces for laying along the folds of the tube 6tubular 'nit7

!ar'er !odes Is determined by the symmetry and directionality of fabric. 1ap either way 612257  1ap one way 6120257  1ap up and down 61242)7 

The term Nap is used to indicate the fabric is directional. N/E/ –with symmetric- non directional fabrics- pattern pieces can be placed on a mar'er with only consideration for grainline N/!/ – all the pattern pieces be placed on a mar'er in only one direction N/"/# – all patterns pieces of one sie to be placed in one direction and another sie placed in opposite direction. eg. corduroy

&lotting The process of drawing or printing pattern pieces or mar'ers on paper so they can be reviewed or cut.

)uplications of mar'er  

Carbon duplicating – small no. of copies only

are made 6@–>7 



Spirit duplicating or hectograph carbon s'stem – uses alcohol and it is a messy process

many copies can be produced #ia)o photographic method – the master mar'er and light sensitive paper passes under high intensity ultra violet light and the light sensitive paper is developed using amonia

Spreading Spreading is the processes of

superimposing lengths of fabric on a spreading table cutting table or specially designed surface in preparation for the cutting process  * spread or la'*up is the total amount of fabric prepared for a single mar'er .

(preading mode (preading mode is the manner in which fabric plies are laid out for cutting  )irection of the fabric: it may be positioned in two ways face?to?face 63237 or with all plies facing?one?way 6320257  )irection of the 3abric 1ap: it may be positioned nap?one?way 6120257 or nap? up?down 

3abric control devices 







Tensioning involves synchroniing the rate of spreading with the rate fabric is unrolled &ositioning devices and sensors monitor position and control fabric placement during spreading. 6to improve /uality in spreading7 5idth indicators may sound an alarm to alert the operator when fabric becomes narrower wthan the established width nd treatment device are used with spreaders but are separate and placed at the end of the spread 6end catcher and folding blade7
