Handicrafts & Carpets Exercise 1.11.65
Hand Embroidery Artisan - Quality Assessment

Determine the total number of finished products

Objective: At the end of this exercise you shall be able to
• determine the total number of finished products.

Requirements

Materials
• Notebook - as reqd. • Sharpener - as reqd.
• Pencil - as reqd.

PROCEDURE
To determine the total number of finished products in a • Total shawls=1002.5=40 shawls\text{Total
hand embroidery or textile unit like Sozni embroidery, shawls} = \frac{100}{2.5} = 40 \text{ shawls}Total
you can follow this step-by-step method: shawls=2.5100=40 shawls
Step-by-step method to calculate total finished 4 Adjust for wastage or defects (Optional but
products important)

1 Know the total quantity of raw material used • Final Total=Total Shawls−Defective or Rejected
Pieces\text{Final Total} = \text{Total Shawls} - \
• Fabric length (e.g., meters of shawl base)
text{Defective or Rejected Pieces}Final Total=Total
• Embroidery thread (in grams or spools) Shawls−Defective or Rejected Pieces
• Any auxiliary items (borders, linings, etc.) For Sozni embroidery (example)

2 Define the material consumption per product • Fabric per shawl: 2.25 m
• How much material is used for one finished product • Embroidery thread per shawl: 20 g
(e.g., 1 shawl)?
• You have
• Example:
- 112.5 m fabric
- 2.5 meters of fabric per shawl
- 1,000 g embroidery thread
- 15 grams of embroidery thread per shawl
• Total shawls by fabric=112.52.25=50\text{Total
3 Use the Formula shawls by fabric} = \frac{112.5}{2.25} = 50 Total
• Total Finished Products=Total Material shawls by fabric=2.25112.5=50 Total shawls by
AvailableMaterial Used Per Product\textbf{Total thread=100020=50\text{Total shawls by thread} = \
Finished Products} = \frac{\text{Total Material frac{1000}{20} = 50 Total shawls by thread=201000=50
Available}}{\text{Material Used Per Product}}Total • So, Total finished products = 50 shawls
Finished Products=Material Used Per ProductTotal • Perform an estimate of a product—especially in the
Material Available
context of textiles or embroidery like Sozni—you
Example need to assess how much it will cost to produce and
• Total fabric available: 100 meters how many products you can make, in order to plan
production, pricing, and profit.
• Fabric used per shawl: 2.5 meters
