฀ GENERALLY ALLOWANCE IS TAKEN AROUND 1.5CM BUT IT IS NOT FIXED

BECAUSE THIS ALLOWANCE IS DEPEND ON FABRIC TYPE LIKE COTTON, LYCRA,
VISCOSEETC.
฀Formula:
Cpd = L x W x 12 x GSM kg
10000000
Where Cpd = Consumption per dozen
L = Length
W = Width
A) Cpd (body) = L x W x 12 x GSM kg
10000000
= 70 x 102x 12 x 150 kg
10000000
= 1.28 kg
B) Cpd (Sleeve) = L x W x 12 x 2 x GSM kg
10000000
= 25 x 49 x 12 x 2 x 150 kg
10000000
= 0.44 kg
Factory formuale:
Consumption/dozen= length x width X G.S.M /1550/1000/9 x 12

C) Cpd (Neck) = L x W x 12 x GSM kg

10000000
= 61 x 7 x 12 x 180 kg
10000000
= 0.092 kg
So, total Cpd = (A + B+C)
= (1.28 + 0.44 + 0.09) kg
= 1.81 kg
Actual Cpd = Total Cpd + 7% wastage
= (1.81 + 7%)
= 1.94 kg
So, the fabric consumption for men’s T-shirt is 1.94 kg per dozen.

฀ Question: Fabric weight 50 kg, Fabric width 40 inch (tube) GSM 180. What is
fabric length in meter?

Ans:
Fabric weight in Kg = Length (Meter) X Width (Meter) X GSM in Kg

W (Kg) = l x w x GSM
50 = l x (40x 2.54x 2)/ 100 X 180/1000
L = 136.70 meter
= 136.70 x 1.0937 yds [ 1 meter = 1.0937 yds]
= 149.50 yds

Math: 03
Question: Fabric price 2.25 USD/ yds, Width 45 inch open, GSM 200,
Consumption 3.20 kg / doz, What is the garment fabric cost for per doz garments?

Ans:
W (kg) = L (M) X w (M) X GSM (kg)
= L (M) X (45X2.54)/100 X 200/1000
L (M) = (3.20 X100X 1000) / (45X 2.54 X 200)
= 13.99 (M)
= 13.99 X 1.0937 yds
= 15.30 yds
Fabric cost (Per doz gmt) = Length X Unit price/ yd
= 15.30 x 2.25
= 34.56 USD / Doz

Consumption Calculation for Woven Basic Pant

Fabric width =60
1. ½ Waist Cir =46cm+8(SA) =54cm
2. Front Rise =28incl.WB +8(SA) =36 cm
3. ½ Thighs Cir. =36 cm + 6(SA) = 42cm
4. Inseam length =82 cm + 3(SA) =85 cm

Consumption formula = (½ Waist cir. ×front rise) ×2+ (½ Thigh cir.

×Inseam length) ×4÷36 ÷59+ wastes %= YDS/PC

{In case of size measurement in CM to divide by 6.45 (Sq cm) otherwise not}

Consumption Formula for S/Slv. T-Shirt:

{1/2 Chest x (Body Length + Sleeve Length)} x 2 x GSM /1ooooooo+Wastage% = Kg/Pc

Consumption Formula for Woven Shirt:

{1/2 Chest x (CB Length + Sleeve Length)} x 2 /36 /Fabric width + Wastage% = Yds/Pcs

Knit fabric consumption from marker:

Marker (for 9 pc marker) = {(Length x Width) x12x GSM}/ (1550x1000x9) +
Wastage% = Kg/dz

Woven fabric consumption from marker:

Marker length = 5yds 13”

Fabric width = 43” or 42.5”
Shipment quantity =1000dz
For 5pcs marker
5yds 13” = 5pcs
5yds 13/36 = 5pcs
5.36yds = 5pcs
5.36/5 x 12 = 12.86 yds/dz
Fabric required = 1000dz x 12.86 yds + 5%


=13503 yds

Price for 1 dozen Men’s T-shirt:

Pre-requisites: Costing Unit price

1. Fabric consumption 2 kg/dz $10.0/kg $20/kg

2. Accessories $4/dz $4/dz
3. CM (cost of manufacturing) $4/dz $4/dz
Total = $18 $28

A) Direct cost (raw materials)=$28.0

B) Indirect cost (15% to 30% of direct cost)

Indirect cost= $28.0 x 30%
= $8.4
Total= $28.0 + $8.4
= $36.4
So, the cost for 1 dozen men’s T-shirt is $36.4

Total consumption for one garment

= 0.541+0.079+0.562+0.68+0.05+0.159+0.032

CARTON MEASUREMENT:
FORMULA (1) = (L+W) (W+H) X2 in cm (Without Wastage)
100X100

FURMULA (2) = (L+W+6) X (W+H+4) X 2/10000 (Include Wastage)

PRICE = (L+W) (W+H) X 2 x Rate per Square Meter

100x100
= Rate/Pc

Example: Here, L=30, w=40, H=20,

From (2) = (30+40+6) X (40+20+4) X2/10000
