1.4 analysis 

We know salary basic=gross-(med+food+con) allowance/1.4 (as per Gazette on Minimum Wages for RMG-2013)
From where come 1.4 ??????
Let move & see

If, Basic =100 Tk then Basic+H.rent = 140 Tk (H.rent = 40% of basic); so Basic = 1 Tk then Basic+H.rent = 140/100 = 1.4 For more clearance If gross = 5300 Then basic 3000, H.rent 1200 & Med+Food+Conv 1100, so Basic = 3000 then basic+h.rent = 4200 (3000+1200) & Basic = 1 then H.rent = 4200/3000 = 1.4 It’s must a formula. Bangladesh gazette mainly maintained gross salary & allowance, then found basic & h.rent by using this (1.4) formula. Gross 5300- 1100 (Med+Food+Conv) = 4200 (Basic+H.rent) but we didn’t know Basic=? & H.rent=? so when you find the basic then you must used this formula: Basic+H.rent (4200)/1.4= Basic (3000).
Another mathematical analysis
Gross=basic+house rent+ Allowance
gross=basic+basic40%+ Allowance
gross- Allowance =basic(1+.4)
gross- Allowance =basic(1.4)
(gross- Allowance)/1.4 =basic

C-Tpat Compliance Evaluation

C-Tpat Compliance Evaluation

C-Tpat Compliance Evaluation

C-Tpat Compliance : Following the events of September 11th, the United States Government has increased its efforts to enhance national security. As an agent to U.S. retailers and importers, Buyer has been called upon by some of its customers to support a U.S Customs initiative called Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) to strengthen the security of our overall supply chain….

In accordance with the C-TPAT Manufacturer Security Recommendations issued by U.S. Customs, our evaluators will carry out on-site security facility evaluation to assess the factory’s current state of security compliance to U.S. Customs general security recommendations.

The evaluation will include a meeting with the factory’s management, an interview with a select number of workers, an on-site inspection of the factory facilities as well as a review of various security related documents/records. Where security gaps are found, the factory and contractors need to agree on a mutually acceptable timeline for security enhancements and improvements. As supply-chain security is a developing area, Buyer expects that these measures will evolve over time. Security measures of concern are listed below

Physical Security

All buildings should be constructed of materials, which resist unlawful entry and protect against outside intrusion. Physical security should include:

  • Adequate locking devices for external and internal doors, windows, gates, and fences.
  • Perimeter fencing should enclose the areas around cargo handling and storage facilities.
  • Segregation and marking of international, domestic, high-value, and dangerous goods cargo within the warehouse by a safe, caged, or otherwise fenced-in area.
  • All containers bound for Carter’s & Oshkosh in the U.S. are sealed with a high security seal that meets or exceeds the current PAS ISO 17712 standard for high security seals.
  • Written procedures exist stipulating how seals are to be controlled and affixed to loaded containers. These include procedures for recognizing and reporting compromised seals and or containers to local authorities or U.S. Customs.
  • Only designated employees have access to seals.Gates through which vehicles and/or personnel enter or exit must be manned and/or monitored.
  • Parking area for private vehicles should be separate from the shipping, loading dock, and cargo areas.
  • Buildings must be constructed of materials that resist unlawful entry.
  • Adequate locking devices for external and internal doors, windows, gates, and fences.
  • Adequate lighting provided inside and outside the facility including parking areas.
  • Internal/external communications systems in place to contact internal security personnel or local law enforcement police.
  • Segregation and marking of international, domestic, high-value, and dangerous goods cargo within the warehouse by a safe, caged, or otherwise fenced-in area.
  • Adequate lighting provided inside and outside the facility to include parking areas.
  • Separate parking area for private vehicles and that is separate from the shipping, loading dock, and cargo areas.
  • Internal/external communications systems in place to contact internal security personnel or local law enforcement police.

Access Controls

  • Access Control Application information, such as employment history and references, should be verified prior to employment.
  • Background checks and investigations should be conducted for prospective employees and periodic checks and reinvestigations should be performed.
  • Procedures in place to remove facility and system access for terminated employees.
  • Unauthorized access to the shipping, loading dock and cargo areas should be prohibited. Controls should include:
  • The positive identification of all employees, visitors and vendors.
  • Automated systems must use individually assigned accounts that require a periodic change of password. IT security policies, procedures, and standards must be in place and provided to employees in the form of training.
  • A system must be in place to identify the abuse of IT including improper access, tampering, or altering business data. All system violators must be subject to appropriate disciplinary actions for abuse.
  • Procedures for challenging unauthorized/unidentified persons.
  • An employee identification system must be in place for positive identification and access control purposes.
  • Employees should only be given access to those secure areas needed for the performance of their duties.
  • Procedures in place to control the issuance, removal, and changing of access devices.
  • Visitors must present photo identification for documentation purposes upon arrival. All visitors should be escorted and visibly display temporary identification. Security personnel must
  • dequately control the issuance and removal of identification badges.
  • Proper vendor ID should be presented for documentation purposes upon arrival.
  • Procedures in place to identify, challenging, and address unauthorized/unidentified persons.

Procedural Security

Measures for the handling of incoming and outgoing goods should include the protection against the introduction, exchange, or loss of any legal or illegal material. Security controls should include:

  • Having a designated security officer to supervise the introduction/removal of cargo.
  • Properly marked, weighed, counted, and documented products.
  • Procedures for verifying seals on containers, trailers, and railcars.
  • Procedures for detecting and reporting shortages and overages.
  • Procedures in place to ensure that all information used in the clearing process is complete, accurate, and protected against the exchange, loss, or introduction of erroneous information.
  • Procedures must be in place to ensure that information received from business partners is reported accurately and timely.

  • Proper storage of empty and full containers to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Procedures to notify Customs and other law enforcement agencies in cases where anomalies or illegal activities are detected or suspected by the company.

Personnel Security

  • Education and Training Awareness
  • A security awareness program should be provided to employees including recognizing internal conspiracies, maintaining product integrity, and determining and addressing unauthorized access. These programs should encourage active employee participation in security controls.
  • A threat awareness program should be established and maintained by security personnel to recognize and foster awareness of the threat posed by terrorists at each point in the supply chain.
  • A security awareness program is provided to employees including recognizing internal conspiracies, maintaining product integrity, and determining and addressing unauthorized access. These programs encourage active employee participation in security controls.
  • Additional training should be provided to employees in the shipping and receiving areas, as well as those receiving and opening mail.
  • Currently, Buyer evaluates based on a point scoring system for security measures taken by a factory. Points will be awarded for each of the requirement listed on our self-assessment questionnaires and a total score will be given.

Technical Audit Compliance Evaluation

Technical Audit Compliance Evaluation

Technical Audit Compliance Evaluation

Technical Audit – Factory Compliance Board operates with the belief that ‘FIRE PREVENTION’ is better than Fire Fighting as well as aiming to ‘GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME ROUND’. There are 4 sections to the technical compliance evaluation and they are: –

  • Housekeeping and Maintenance of Equipment
  • Pre Production Measures for Compliance Audit
  • Quality Assurance Process
  • Product Integrity

Points will be given for the technical compliance evaluation.  Each Buyer customer has a different standard in quality acceptance, therefore the minimum points required will be different from each customer.  In the event a factory does not meet the minimum points, the factory will fail the technical compliance portion of the factory evaluation and will be required to make corrections and improvements within an agreed time frame.

The only exception to this ruling is that the factory does not comply to Garment Buyers mandatory requirement of a broken needle policy or control of sharp tools (ie. Knives, trimming scissors etc). A factory that does not meet these mandatory requirements cannot start business with Garment Buyers customers.

Housekeeping and Maintenance of Equipment

Under this section, Buyer evaluators will be looking at how the factory maintains its premises and its equipment (which includes machineries) to prevent possible dirt, dust, oil contamination as well as potential issues with quality. Some examples of poor housekeeping and maintenance of equipment are: –

Factory has no storage in all parts of their factory or storage areas are compromised by sharp edges causing possible snagging on materials

Machines are rusted or leaking oil and there is no written records of maintenance Compliance Audit

Fabric and/or materials in the warehouse are exposed to direct sunlight causing color fastness issues

Lighting at areas in the factory that affect quality (i.e. inspection, sewing, painting, etc.) is insufficient (i.e. Garment Buyers standard is 500 lux but affected area is only 250 lux)

Pre Production Measures for Technical Audit

Under this section, Buyer evaluators will be looking at how the factory ensures ‘fire prevention’. In this section of the evaluation, written records are mostly required.  Some examples of processes evaluated are: –

Is there a fabric/yarn/inspection process? There should be written records to verify this inspection process and also an inspection standard (4 or 10 point system or ISO) that is used.

Is there a garment shrinkage/elongation test process? Shrinkage/elongation between garment and fabric is never the same, which is why this process is necessary. Again, the before and after results should be documented and tested both of washed and non-washed garments.

Is there a fusing control process? There are 3 elements to a good fusing (pressure, timing and temperature) therefore it’s crucial that there are written records of each fusing machine at least 3 times a day.

Is there a Pre Production Process? Before any bulk production commences, there should always be a pre production process to discuss customer’s comments with all parties involved in production. Again, there should be written documentation on this process as there are a lot of parties involved in bulk production and follow-up is therefore required by an appointed person.

Quality Assurance Process

Under this section, Buyer will be evaluating how the factory ‘gets it right the first time round’. In this section of the evaluation, written records are once again required. If the factory cuts an extra 5%, they should be targeting to ship an extra 3% instead of under shipping 5%. If the order quantity is 10,000 pieces, an over cut of 5% would be an additional of 500 pieces therefore if the factory under ships 5% at USD 10.00 per garment, that would be a waste of USD 10,000.  Some examples of what a Buyer evaluator will be looking for: –

Is there a fabric relaxation process? All knitted and stretched (including woven) fabric should be unrolled and relaxed for at least 24 hours prior to spreading. Thereafter, the fabric should be further relaxed for another 6 hours after spreading (if the factory does not have an over feed automatic spreader) as manual spreading will put tension back into the fabric during spreading.

Is there an inline inspection process (for cut & sewn only)? We strongly recommend the ‘traffic light system’ where inline QCs will visit each sewer twice a day (minimum) to review their performance and inspect at least one bundle (but no less than 12 pieces) per sewer. Based on the number of defects found, the inline QCs will grade the sewer and give her a color (green for good, amber/orange for marginal and red for poor). Again, there should be documentation and recorded follow-up actions by the supervisors.

Is there a finished garment inspection process? 100% inspection should take place at this stage of inspection and QCs should not be found in possession of trimming scissors, as this is not their job.

Product Integrity

Under this section, Buyer evaluators will be walking the lines as well as visiting the packing section to determine product integrity of the factory. Here are some examples of what a Buyer evaluator will be looking for: –

Is there a broken/used needle policy? A broken needle policy should be enforced as it protects Garment Buyers customers from possible law suits by consumers. It should be documented and with all broken/used needles attached. The factory management should also use the information to identify possible quality problems.

Is there a control on the use of sharp tools? Sharp tools like knives, blades and trimming scissors should be tied down and/ or accounted for on a daily basis to avoid misplacement.

Was the seam intake consistent? If an over lock sewer is taking off ¼” on some seams and ½” on others (of the same style), there is inconsistency and factory will be penalized with point deductions.

Were garments already packed free of quality issues? Our evaluators will pick garments that are already packed for

Note : In the event that a factory does not meet the requirements of broken needle policy or sharp tools control. Even if they meet the required minimum score, no business can be placed for a new factory while an exit strategy is in place for a current factory for Compliance Audit
