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

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.

                                               10000000
                                    = 1.28 kg


B) Cpd (Sleeve)           =  L x W x 12 x  2 x  GSM  kg
                                                  10000000

                                                     107
                                    = 0.44 kg
C) Cpd (Collar)            = L x W x 12 x GSM     kg
                                         107

                                                 107
                                    =  0.22 kg

C) Cpd (Collar)            = L x W x 12 x GSM     kg
                                                  107
                                    = 46 x 10 x 12 x 400    kg
                                                 107
                                    = 0.22 kg

D) Cpd (Cuff)  =  L x W x 12 x 2 x GSM  kg
                                                  107
                                    = 30 x 5 x 12 x 2 x 300            kg
                                                 107
                                    = 0.108 kg
So, total Cpd= A + B + C + D
                        = (1.28 + 0.44 + 0.22 + 0.108) kg
                        = 2.05kg

Actual Cpd       = 2.05 kg + 7%
                        = 2.19 kg
So, fabric consumption for 1 dozen polo shirt is 2.19 kg.

Actual Cpd       = (3.93 + 7%) kg
                        = 4.2 kg
So, fabric consumption for 1 dozen Trousers is 4.2



Result and discussion

 

Cost a price for 1 dozen T- shirt:


Pre-requisites:
                                                                        Unit price                     Costing
1. Fabric consumption 2 kg/dz                        $5.0/kg                        $10/kg
2. Accessories                                                  $2/dz                            $2/dz
3. CM (cost of manufacturing)                           $2/dz                          $2/dz    
                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                               Total                 $14

A) Direct cost (raw materials)                                              =   $14.0

B) Indirect cost (15% to 20% of direct cost)

     Indirect cost            = $14.0 x 20%
                                    = $2.8
     Total                       = $14.0 + $2.8
                                     = $16.8
           
C) Profit @5% = $16.8 x 5%
                                    = @0.84
    Therefore, total cost  = $16.8 + $0.84
                                                = $17.64
                                                = $18
    So, the cost for 1 dozen mean’s T-shirt is $18

  5. Consumption of a Trouser

    Consumption determination of fabric is a very important term in textile sector. Since it depends on fabric prices therefore accurate and closure consumption will reduce fabric wastage which will be beneficial for us economically. So, we should keep proper knowledge of fabric consumption properly.
