5. Grading:
During an order confirmation, the buyer suggests the size ratio of that order. So that order should be graded according to the buyer’s instruction. Grading is done manually or by using the computer.
6. Marker Making:
Marker is a very thin paper that contains all the parts of a particular garment. To make the cutting process easy, it’s must be needed. Marker making process can be done both manually and by using the computer.

To cut the fabric properly fabric is spread inlay form. Fabric Spreading is done manually or by using a computerized method.
8. Fabric Cutting:
Fabrics have to cut here according to the marker of garments. The fabric Cutting process is done by using a manual method or computerized method.
9. Cutting Parts Sorting or Bundling:
Here, cutting parts have to sort out or make bundling to send these easily into the next process. This process is done manually.
10. Sewing:
All the parts of a garment are joined here to make a complete garment. The sewing process is done manually.
11. Garments Inspection:
After completing sewing, inspection should be done here to make fault free garments. Garments Inspection is done by using the manual method.
12. Garments Ironing and Finishing:
Here garments are treated by steam; also required finishing should be completed here. This process is done by using the manual method.
13. Final Inspection:
Finally, the complete garments are inspected here according to the buyer’s specification. Final Inspection is done by manual method.
