Attention printing and dyeing factories! This basic work is very important, don’t ignore it!
The work content of dyeing and finishing merchandisers in the dyeing factory determines the basic process of dyeing and finishing merchandisers. The main work contents of the merchandiser include selecting salespersons, warehousing gray fabrics, arranging colors and cylinders, color control, meter quantity control, feel control, thickness control, inspection and packaging control, finished product delivery and product internal quality control. aspect.
The control of the above-mentioned links is basically arranged according to the process of textile dyeing and finishing. While controlling the above ten issues, the merchandiser is also responsible for making necessary contacts with the production department, technical department, logistics service department and other departments of the dyeing factory.
1. Warehousing of gray fabrics
Plan the quantity of gray fabrics based on the order quantity. After the gray fabric is transported to the dyeing factory, it should be arranged to enter the warehouse in time. When entering the warehouse, count the number of pieces, check the gray cloth code sheet, distinguish the batch number, count the total meters, and ask the dyeing factory warehouse manager for the gray cloth storage slip. These are the responsibilities of the dyeing and finishing merchandiser. After the gray fabric is put into storage, the dyeing and finishing merchandiser must conduct five inspections.
1. Check the stacking height of gray fabric. The stacking height of gray fabric is too high. If the stacking time is too long, the bottom gray fabric will be compressed and deformed, which will easily cause difficulty in unwinding the gray fabric and form internal stress in the fabric, which will affect the pre-processing of the fabric. 2. Check the rain and sun protection effect of the warehouse. If the rain and sun protection effect of the warehouse is not good, the fabric will easily be exposed to rain or sun, causing the gray fabric to become moldy or the spandex to break, making the fabric unable to undergo normal dyeing and finishing processing.
3. Check the ground bedding where the gray fabrics are stacked. If the gray fabrics are stacked directly on the ground, they may easily get damp or be bitten by mice. Although some chemical fiber products are not afraid of getting wet, they are stained with too much mud and easily affect the cleanliness of light-colored fabrics.
4. Check whether there are identical or similar gray fabrics stacked around the place where the gray fabrics are piled. If there are identical or similar gray fabrics piled up, it is easy to cause mixed batches due to the collapse of the pile of fabrics, and it is easy to lead to the phenomenon of taking the wrong gray fabric when preparing the gray fabrics. 5. Check the stacking marks of gray fabrics. Use a small blackboard, write chalk words on the gray fabrics, or other methods to clearly mark the gray fabrics of different customers or different batch numbers to show the difference and avoid confusion.
2. Arrange color cylinders
Go to the production management department with the gray cloth warehousing form to arrange the production plan, put forward clear quality requirements, and arrange the production of each color. The processing quantity is clearly notified to the production management department of the dyeing factory. This process is called spotting. The staff on duty in the production management department arrange the production plan according to the color characteristics of the customer’s samples and the equipment characteristics of the dyeing factory. This process is called cylinder arrangement. Color-point cylinder arrangement is the beginning of textile dyeing and finishing processing. A good start is crucial to the normal production of a single textile. Processing is crucial.
The production plan can be fully arranged, but the time of the first vat of fabrics must be mastered. Timely grasp of the color accuracy, dyeing quality, and fabric weaving quality of the first vat product is crucial to controlling the product quality of this order. If major problems are discovered, reporting them to the foreign trade company in a timely manner is a prerequisite for ensuring product quality. Concealing or hesitating to report major quality problems when they arise will lead to endless troubles. Major quality problems mainly include seriously unqualified gray fabric quality and seriously unqualified dyeing quality.
3. Color Control
Confirm the color accuracy of the technical department’s sample dyeing, inspect the color accuracy of the production workshop, confirm color differences and unqualified products, and propose Recommendations for repairs and inspect the color of returned products are the main tasks of color control for dyeing and finishing merchandisers.
Checking color differences such as head and tail color difference, left, middle and right color difference, tube difference, match difference, cylinder difference, etc. is the key to color control. The accuracy of laboratory proofing color, the accuracy of color control in the dyeing workshop, and the accuracy of color control in the styling workshop constitute the main content of the merchandiser’s color control process. Controlling the color difference within the range that meets customer requirements is the key to color. The core issue of control.
4. Meter quantity control
Check the quantity of finished products in each color and make up for the shortage in time. For colors with a very small difference in meters, the dyeing and finishing merchandiser must promptly ask the superior supervisor for instructions, and decide the replenishment quantity of the color based on the superior’s opinions. For temporary additional quantities proposed by customers, they should be reported to the production department in a timely manner and strive to obtain help from the production department. Understanding the warp shrinkage of the fabric is the prerequisite for arranging the dyeing quantity.
5. Feel and elasticity control
According to the feel sample confirmed by the customer, communicate with the technical director of the dyeing factory to ask for advice and confirm the impact Regarding the main processes and parameters of the feel, leave a large enough sample of the feel in the technical department, and frequently inspect or randomly check the feel of the product after each process. The control of the fabric’s feel is relatively complex. Softness and stiffness, drape and elegance, lightness and thickness are all relative to the fabric sample. The elasticity of fabrics includes two aspects. On the one hand, it is the elasticity produced by elastic fibers. This elasticity can be measured through data. On the other hand, it refers to the resilience of non-elastic fabrics, which usually refers to the ability of the fabric to return to its original state after the external force disappears when testing the feel of the fabric.
6. Thickness and width control
Strictly speaking, controlling the quality of fibers per unit area of textiles, that is, dyeing The “gram weight” of the fabric often mentioned in the factory is the thickness control of the fabric. Fabric thickness control and fabric thickness�Feel control is closely connected. In the process of controlling fabric thickness and feel, it is often related to controlling fabric width, shrinkage, elasticity and flatness. Elasticity and feel control and thickness and width control are actually the main contents of quality control in the finishing process. After the textile color control is completed, the control of the fabric’s elasticity, feel, width, and thickness is of great significance for effectively controlling product quality.
7. Inspection and packaging control
Defective product control is completed through the inspection of fabric appearance defects. Inspecting all defective dyeing, finishing and weaving products and promptly replenishing the quantity or arranging rework and repair are the main contents of defective product control. The control of defective products through inspection also completes the quantity control of finished products. One of the main contents of inspection control is to clearly notify the dyeing factory of the customer’s inspection standards and implement them during the inspection process, and to promptly communicate with the dyeing factory and foreign trade company about problems that arise during the inspection process. The inspection content includes items such as color, width, feel, thickness, weft skew, dyeing and finishing defects, and weaving defects, which can be completed through manual judgment.
The merchandiser must actively provide third parties with product quality inspection samples, accept and assist third-party inspections, and provide timely feedback on inspection content to dyeing factories and trading companies. Selecting the ship samples required by the customer before packaging is one of the main tasks of the merchandiser. Determining packaging materials and packaging methods, confirming various packaging marks and logos, confirming packaging length and dimensions, confirming code sheets and the total volume of goods are the main contents of packaging control. Timely delivery of relevant packaging information to trading companies is very important for trading companies or shipping agencies to book cabins or contact containers.
Informing the container truck driver about the company address and pointing out the road is one of the responsibilities of the merchandiser. Supervising the packing process and counting the number of boxes are also tasks that the merchandiser must complete.
8. Salesman Control
Selecting a salesman in the dyeing factory business department who is willing to provide high-quality services to the trading company is to follow The first thing a single person does after confirming the textile processing in the dyeing factory. The salesperson can understand the basic situation of the dyeing factory. The merchandiser can make reasonable requests to the relevant departments in the dyeing factory through the salesperson. The salesperson can assist the merchandiser in handling various bills, provide relevant information to the merchandiser, etc. If the merchandiser cannot choose a dyeing factory salesperson in time, he can also accept a salesperson recommended by the dyeing factory business supervisor. In short, choosing a good salesperson can greatly improve work efficiency.
9. Finished goods leaving the warehouse
When the finished goods leave the warehouse, the merchandiser needs to explain to the warehouse manager the color and match of the textiles to be shipped out. number. After calculating the total meter based on the code sheet, the warehouse manager will issue a finished product delivery note to the merchandiser. The merchandiser should go to the Finance Department to pay the dyeing fee according to the meter number on the delivery note and then use the delivery note to handle the delivery of the finished product. Of course, the above process can also be handled by a salesperson. The trading company can also go through the procedures for leaving the finished product in advance by paying the dyeing fee before the specified date through the guarantee of the salesperson. Paying dyeing and finishing processing fees and issuing VAT invoices are the main reasons why merchandisers have business dealings with the financial department of the dyeing factory. When paying the dyeing fee, it can be cash, money order or check. Asking the financial department for the dyeing factory’s bank account and basic account number are the basic requirements for making cash checks and money orders. When carrying money orders, it is strictly prohibited to fold, scratch or break them. When requesting a VAT invoice, you must proactively provide the original or photocopy of the company’s business license, tax registration certificate and other documents as required by the dyeing factory’s financial department.
10. Intrinsic quality control
Intrinsic quality control often requires third-party inspection to verify, mainly including dye fastness and shrinkage of textile processing efficiency, power and ecology. The dyeing factory can also issue inspection reports for regular items for reference by trading companies. Inspection of special items, especially when the customer proposes inspection according to the requirements of ecological textiles, the foreign trade company must issue a third-party inspection report. The so-called third party is an organization independent of foreign trade companies and dyeing factories. During the processing of foreign trade products, dyeing factories have business dealings with foreign trade companies, and foreign trade companies have business dealings with domestic and foreign customers.
Qualified professional testing companies are independent third parties for all aspects mentioned above. Therefore, third-party inspection is more fair and objective. The dyeing factory inspection report can only be used for reference by trading companies. For trading companies, especially their customers, the inspection results are not objective and fair. This point requires the follower to pay special attention during the follow-up process. At present, the number of qualified professional inspection companies centered in Shanghai is gradually increasing. These professional inspection companies are also called inspection companies by industry insiders. These companies are not only responsible for the inspection of customers’ incoming samples, but can also be entrusted by customers to go directly to the dyeing factory designated by the trading company for confirmation and commissioned inspection of their products. During the above process, the merchandiser must do a good job in reception and provide good service and support. When necessary, the merchandiser can ask the dyeing factory to provide relevant cooperation and support.
