Network Readiness: Networked Readiness Index (NRI), developed by the University of Harvard, measures the propensity for countries to exploit the opportunities offered by information and communications technology. The NRI seeks to better comprehend the impact of ICT on the competitiveness of nations. The NRI is a composite of three components: the environment for ICT offered by a given country or community, the readiness of the community’s key stakeholders (individuals, businesses, and governments) to use ICT, and finally the usage of ICT amongst these stakeholders. Unfortunately, the latest survey (2006-7) revealed that Bangladesh’s NRI ranking is one of the lowest among the Asian countries.
f) Use of open source software: Many countries (e.g. France and Malaysia) have started to use open source software in ICT development projects for cost effectiveness. Unfortunately, in our ICT development domain the culture of using open source has not yet been introduced.
The use of information and communication technology has been
playing a vital role in the 21st century due to globalization and the
government is encouraged to adapting with the coming future. The democratic government
has declared the “Vision 2021”
in the election manifesto which targets establishment of a resourceful and
modern country by 2021 through effective use of information and communication
technology-a “Digital Bangladesh”.
“Digital Bangladesh” does not only mean the broad use of
computers, perhaps it means the modern philosophy of effective and useful use
of technology in terms of implementing the promises in education, health, job
placement, poverty reduction etc. Therefore, the government underscores a
changing attitude, positive thinking and innovative ideas for the success of
“Digital Bangladesh”.
This In House Test Method describes the method of test in order to determine the wettability of fabrics containing hydrophilic fibres.
PRINCIPLE
The correct number of test specimens are to
be prepared and tested as specified within this test method in order to achieve
a performance assessment of the product/fabric as described within the scope.
The test specimens are to be conditioned in
the standard atmosphere of 65% Relative Humidity (RH) +/- 2% and 20°C +/- 2°C
for a minimum of 16 hours. All tests should also be carried out in this atmosphere.
HEALTH & SAFETY
Not applicable.
PREPARATION OF TEST SPECIMENS/MATERIALS
Minimum size for the sample is 20mm x 200mm.
Lay the fabric on a flat surface and make sure that it is tension free.
Do not use fabric within 5cm of the selvedge
Mark out the fabric with a fine pen using the ruler. Cut carefully along the lines.
TEST PROCEDURE
Setting up the Apparatus:
Carefully fit the rubber tube and metal pipette onto the end of the burette. To facilitate this, moisten the glass before fitting the tube.
Place the burette vertically onto the retort stand – carefully clamping it.
Then pour the distilled water into the burette – ensure the dropper is turned off.
Place the fabric into the embroidery ring and then place the ring under the burette – 6mm below the lower end of the metal pipette.
Arrange the spot lamp so that the light is focused onto the centre of the fabric.
TESTING THE FABRIC
Allow one drop of the water to fall from the burette onto the fabric and start the stopwatch at this instant.
Do not disturb the embroidery frame while test is in progress.
When the diffused reflection of the liquid vanishes from the surface of the fabric, stop the watch and take a reading of the time.
Repeat the test on four other areas of the sample.
Record readings of less than 10 seconds to the nearest 0.1 second and less than 1 second to 1/100 second.
Readings that exceed 200 seconds (3 minutes 20 seconds) can be aborted – record results as >200 seconds.
RESULTS OF TESTED SPECIMENS
Not
applicable.
REPORTING OF RESULTS
Report all individual results.
The number of measurements taken.
The mean of the measurements taken.
Note Burette Metal Pipette Spot Lamp :- Test can be carried out afterwash at the customers request. Sample should be washed as per the care label supplied.
Purpose & Scope: The Farnsworth-Munsell Test offers a simple method for testing color discrimination. It yields data which can be applied to many psychological and shop floor problems in color vision. Its primary uses are to:
Separate persons with normal color vision into classes of superior, average and low color discrimination.To measure the zones of color confusion of persons dealing in color shades.
Responsibilities
QA In-charge is responsible to monitor and to ensure that all the persons dealing with color shades are tested for color vision IQC in-charge is responsible for conducting the test, communicating the results and maintains the records.
Procedures
Material:The FM Hue Test includes a total of 93 colors mounted in plastic caps,housed in four separate cases. Each case consists of two hinged panels which contain a quarter of the 85 numbered, removable color caps. (Two caps are repeated and fixed as pilot colors at either end of one panel in each case, making a total of ninety-three caps.)If the caps become severely smudged or damaged, they should be replaced.With normal usage, it is recommended that the caps be replaced every four years.
Lighting
Test should be carried out under Day Light D65 in the light box.Since natural daylight is variable, the results cannot be expected to be as stable as when the test is given under standard illumination.Ordinary incandescent room lights should be switched off or shielded from the test area.
Testing
Open one case and arrange the caps in random order
Instruct the person being tested as below :
to arrange the caps in order according to color and place them so they form a regular color series between the two end caps (indicate)
It should take you about two minutes per panel. However, accuracy is more important than speed so you will be told when the two minutes are up but the panel will not be taken away from him/her.
To Allow the person as long as necessary to arrange the caps in an order with which they are satisfied.
If two minutes have passed, and the person is not through, quietly remind them that two minutes are up, and allow more time to finish the task.
Repeat the process for rest 3 cases.
Record the time taken to complete the test.
Enter the findings into FM Hue Test Scoring Software.
Testing receiver
Only Quality people will receive this test for all the department like Store, Sample, sewing, cutting, Finishing & packing etc. .
Result Analysis
Person with ‘normal’ color vision can be classified as follows:
Superior Discrimination
About 16% of the population (exclusive of color defectives) has been found to make 0 to 4 transpositions on first test, or
total error score of zero to 16. This is the range of superior competence for color discrimination.
Average Discrimination
About 68% of the population (exclusive of color defectives) make a total error score between 20 and 100 on first tests. This is the range of normal competence for color
Discrimination
Low Discrimination
About 16% of the population (exclusive of color defectives has been found to make total error scores of more than 100. The first retest may show improvement, but further retests do not materially affect the score. Repeated retests reveal no region of large maximum or minimum sensitivity as is found in color defective patterns.
Total error scores represent the color discrimination ability of an individual at a given point in time.
It is possible that color discrimination ability for that individual may improve at a later time as a result of further training and experience.
Identifying the color defectiveness:
The pattern of color defectiveness is identified using the FM Hue Test by bi-polarity, a clustering of maximum errors in two regions which are nearly opposite.
The severity of the defect can be gauged by the extent of the ‘bulge’, a severe degree of defect showing clear bipolarity with high error scores; moderate cases show small ‘bulges’ and lower total error scores; mild cases with good color discrimination may show no ‘bulge’
The position of the mid-point of the errors in the pattern will identify the type of color defectiveness as below :
Protans : have a mid-point between 62 and 70
Deutans : have a mid-point between 56 and 61
Tritans : have a mid-point between 46 and 52.
To handle the shades, the person has to score minimum Average
Discrimination.
If someone scores, poor discrimination, the test may be re-conducted after six months with proper training.
When new QA/QC will be selected at first he/ she will do The munsell test , Any color blind person not allow to work .
Every QA /QC will get Munsell test randomly after one year.

Description
Open-Width Styles – The cut able width is guaranteed to be within two inches (2”). The cut able width is quoted as the minimum cut able width plus two inches. For example, a quoted cut able width of 60-62 inches means that 60 inches is the minimum cut able width and that 62 inches is the maximum cut able width.
Tubular Styles – The cut able width is guaranteed to be within one inch (1”). The cut able width is quoted as the minimum cut able width plus one inch. For example, a quoted cut able width of 30-31 inches means that 30 inches is the minimum cut able width and that 31 inches is the maximum cut able width.
Body-Size Tubular Styles – Some body-size styles are quoted as being a standard width. The body-size tolerance is plus or minus half an inch (+/- 1/2”). For example, a quoted body-size width of 24 inches means that 23.5” is the minimum cut able width and that 24.5” is the maximum cut able width.
Yards are recorded as measured using a machine with a calibrated yardage meter. Measuring the yards on a cutting table is not an acceptable means of measuring fabric yardage.
Yardage is considered accurate if within +/- 1.5% of the total ticket yards on most styles and +/- 3% on ribs and styles containing spandex.
Reasonable consideration will be given to consistent shortages or deviations.
25 yards is the minimum individual roll size.
Individual roll pieces may be lapped rather than re-sewn. The pieces must be sewn together on jumbo rolls and Prepared-For-Print (PFP) rolls.
The number of splices or seams per roll are as follows:
Fleece or Terry Fabrics – Two splices or seams per roll. Each spliced piece must be at least five yards.
Prepare-For-Print (PFP) Fabrics – All splices will be sewn. Two seams per 100 yards. Each piece will be at least 25 or 40 yards between seams depending on the greige roll size for that style.
All Other Fabrics - Three splices or seams per roll. Each spliced piece must be at least 10 yards.
Height – This is the short side of the collar and is measured in the center from the inside ridge at the base of the collar to the top edge.
Width – This is measured in the middle of the collar parallel to the longest edge. Because the collar is basically a rib construction, the stretch in this direction is considerable.
Collar and Welt Tolerances
Collars H= +/- 1/4”
W= +/- 1/2”
Welts H= +/- 1/8”

The factory management must hire an outside consultant for implementation of WRAP standard and make its compliance. The factory management has to adopt all the principles and have them in place, with documentation, for a minimum period of 45 days before it can request a WRAP Evaluation. When the facility’s management is confident that it is in compliance and satisfies the documentation requirements outlined in the self-assessment handbook, it may contact an independent WRAP-accredited monitor to schedule an inspection. Read more about What is Melt Index Tester? How does it Works?
The factory will pay the Independent Monitor’s fees and will determine the fee and scheduling directly with the selected Monitor. The Monitor will conduct the evaluation at the mutually contracted time and report the preliminary findings to the factory management and WRAP. If the facility satisfies the compliance requirements, which includes a favorable recommendation by the Independent Monitor, it will then submit a written Certification Recommendation
Bleaching for Processing of Cellulosics
Cellulosics and their blends with synthetics could be desized, scoured and bleached in a single stage. This could reduce the processing time by a considerable extent, apart from reducing the water consumption and wastewater generation.
This measure has been implemented in number of units in India, particularly for the batches where the final dyed product is of a dark shade. In these situations no adverse effect on the quality was observed. The improved environmental impact is due to the fact that all three processes could be carried out in just one bath (instead of three different baths for thrice the duration and having rinses in between). Furthermore, as in earlier mentioned options, the industry concerned would need to make a few trials before commercial implementation.
Reduced process time and energy
Reduced water consumption
Reduced wastewater generation
Reduced cost of effluent treatment
Applicable for cellulosics and their blends only. Combined process for desizing, scouring and bleaching is particularly suitable for fabrics in dark shades, where the bleaching requirement is low. However, this could also be applied for medium shades, depending on the efficiency of the combined process.
The savings are obvious because of the reduction in the number of stages as well as the process time and water.

Compliance
Yes, certification can be denied, revoked or reclassified if the production facility does not fully satisfy the requirements of compliance with the WRAP Principles. The Independent Monitors are to verify that the production facility is in compliance with the WRAP Principles and Procedures before a Certification will be granted. The Independent Monitor will review its evaluation with the plant management and submit its findings to the Certification Board and/or explain what corrective action(s) must be undertaken by the facility, if necessary, for management practices to demonstrate full adoption, deployment and monitoring of the WRAP Principles. Only when this is verified through the onsite evaluation will a facility be able to request certification. Plant management has six months from the date that WRAP confirms receipt of application, to put the plant into compliance and make a written request for Certification. After six months elapse and the factory has not been certified it must initiate the process all over.
Certification is valid for one year only. Certified Facilities may be
subject to unscheduled follow-up evaluations during the one year term of
certification. The number and frequency of unscheduled follow-up visits will be
determined exclusively by the Certification Board, including plant performance
and original certification process.
Risk-based production facilities will receive mandatory unscheduled follow-up
visit(s) during the term of Certification. Any facility can have its
certification revoked or placed risk-based status if it is not found to be
systematically in compliance with adoption, deployment and monitoring of the
WRAP Principles.
Before a Request for Certification is filed with WRAP, the
production facility must satisfy the compliance requirements verified with an
evaluation by one of the accredited Independent Monitors.
