Marker Making and Fabric Utilisation
Fabric is the largest line on the cost sheet, and the marker is the only lever that moves it without changing the garment. You cost one order, three colourways, and three markers to the metre. You see what efficiency actually measures, how a size ratio and the length of a cutting table decide it, and why the cloth the store issued was never the cloth the marker promised.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can read a tech pack you did not write, name every gap in it, and turn it into a brief somebody can cost without guessing.
Who it is for
Factory and supplier teams.
What you will produce
You build a complete utilisation file for one order. You cost three markers against one cost sheet. You turn a buyer's size ratio into a cut plan with ply heights and lay counts. You judge a split-lay decision in money against the line time it bought. You band roll widths against a mill's width tolerance, price a splice policy, and reconcile pattern area to metres issued.
