PRODUCTION TEAM

Kelsi (Vice President)Lourdes (Director of Operations)

Brittany (Senior production coordinator)

Logan ( Production Assistant)Kelly, Kristin, Eunice and me

(Interns)

DAILY RESPONSIBILITIES• Quality Control (inspect) garments• The basics of sample measuring• Choosing fabrics for garments• I communicate with factories to make

sure they get the samples done correctly

• I count labels, size tabs and price tags, care labels for mass production of garments.

• Running personal errands.• Sew on size labels for garments done

incorrectly.• I took a part the zipper from

several bomber jackets.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1:

As an intern I take the samples to each factory to see which factory will give us the cheapest price to make the garment for mass production.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1:SOURCE A TRIM AT A LOWER COST FOR EACH GARMENT.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 2:H O W T O P U T A G A R M E N T T O G E T H E R .

Our sample room makes the marker and I take it to the cutting room for the fabric to be cut. After the pieces are cut they are shipped to the factories where they sew them together to complete the garment.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3:DETAILING HOW THEY GET THEIR GARMENTS IN A NEW STORE.

There were too many interns and because they were busy all the time and with me barely in the office I wasn’t able to get knowledge in this area.

CHALLENGES AND REWARDS

o Forgetting what I was asked to do.o Kelsi got upset with me over leaving a sample at the china town factory. (miscommunication)o Kelsi got upset again because Kristin, Kelly and I didn’t bring samples to the sample room. (miscommunication)o Have been told multiple times that I did a good job at a project.o I was able to get a lot of free samples.o Kelsi bought us pizza, salad, Starbucks on our last day and thanked us for all of our help.

CONCLUSIONI was able to get exposure to a part of the fashion industry that normally people don’t get access to unless they are in this field. I am grateful for the opportunity and the patience they had with me.
