Subcontracting by Chinese factories [photos]

by Renaud Anjoran on 27 May 2012

One of our technicians took some interesting photos. She is stationed in a sewing factory that, unfortunately, subcontracts most of the orders we need to follow.

This ?main factory? receives the fabric and cuts it:

Fabric laying & cutting process

And then they immediately put the cut pieces in a truck and send them to several subcontractors (which are generally small/cheap workshops). Notice that the white fabric is directly in contact with the ground?

Cut pieces sent to a subcontractor

After that, nearly all the sewing job is done in the subcontractors? places.

And finally, the garments are brought back to the main factory. They are 90% completed and unpacked.

The main factory adds a few trimmings (e.g. buttons), cuts the threads, pretends to do a final QC check, and packs the goods. Done!

For more information about this subcontracting process, read about?CMT (Cut, Make, Trim).
