Why Wastage Is Essential
Understanding the unavoidable reality of production wastage
The Reality of Production
Even with perfect planning, final shipment quantity is always less than cutting quantity. Wastage accounts for this unavoidable loss across all production stages.
Cutting Wastage
- ❌ GSM variations from dyeing
- ❌ Unusable fabric from roll ends
- ❌ Small unusable scraps
- ❌ Fabric rejections requiring replacement
Sewing Wastage
- ❌ Alterations needed during assembly
- ❌ Panel rejections from defects
- ❌ Stitching mistakes
- ❌ Rework requirements
Finishing Wastage
- ❌ Panel shrinkage during finishing
- ❌ Stains appearing in process
- ❌ Defects found in QC
- ❌ Final inspection failures
Typical Wastage Percentages
Key Principle
A garment passes through many hands across cutting, sewing, finishing, QC, and packing departments.
Total output never equals total cutting quantity. Adding wastage percentage ensures safe, accurate costing and prevents shortages during production.
For new merchandisers: Always include wastage in your calculations. It's not optional — it's essential.
