select the sampling technique.
I have Used Probability Sampling in my research because I do not want to do any
kind of compromise in my research.
Simple random sampling used in my report.
This is the price effective and quick method of collecting sample.
Data Collection:
I made a questioner to conduct survey. When I do the survey I will go to the garments buying
house to collect the data. I had to be careful about the length of the questioner. I made seven
questions to get the data about the hypotheses. If there are many questions then the buyer
may lose the interest of giving the whole answer of the form.
As instrument, I used1. A Structured Survey Questionnaire
Survey Questionnaire

analyzed with different calculations, for the optimum results. Pie diagram, will be provided in

5.8 Recommendations:
APS group is now a giant group. APS Apparels Ltd is the most profitable unit of this group.
So, it is very tough to recommend on any aspect of the garments. After conducting the
research, I would like to recommend on the following areas thats should be help the
garments to achieve the buyer satisfaction easily. Those are given below
APS Apparels Ltd exercise effectual Merchandising Management process but they
have to upgrade their skill with the technology to increase more efficiency and buyers.
The merchandisers of APS Apparels Ltd always need to make the garment / sample
according to the tech pack to increase the buyer satisfaction. If there any problem they
have to take the necessary step to solve the problem.
The merchandisers of APS Apparels Ltd have the ability to understand buyer order
but if they need to communicate with the buyer in case of vague information.
Batter communication with the buyer is the main things to survive in the competitive
market. So the merchandisers need to communicate with the buyer after the shipment
to build a long term relationship.
It is necessary to build a sound relation with the entire department to make the buyer
order on time. By the departmental status report they can increase more production.
They have the ability to trace the buyer order but it is also necessary to send the
sample on time by sample status sheet they can trace the buyer sample.
Without buyer no garments will be exist. So it is important to satisfy buyer by proper
follow up. It also helps the merchandisers of APS Apparels Ltd to keep touch with the
buyer order.

5.9 Conclusion:
In the present time the competitive level within the garments industry is high. Todays
garments fully depend on merchandising. For any business buyer/ customer satisfaction must
needed. It is the key to survive in the competitive market. In garments industry a good
merchandiser can develop the quality of product and increase the sales of the product.
Merchandising is the main and important job. It is the center of all garments related activities.
APS Apparels Ltd provides all type of facility for the buyer as well as for the employee.
APS Apparels Ltd is the best place to learn about the effective merchandising process.
Though merchandising is a complex job, I learn many things about the job of merchandiser.
In merchandising department I learn sample development, garments costing, quality, banking,
buyer negotiation etc. Visiting the buying house give more knowledge about the buyer want.
The growth of garments depends on the number of buyer. Efficient merchandising
management practice can generate more buyers by satisfying the buyers. Merchandisers goal
is to collect order, execute, develop the best & supply the best and achieve the safety and trust
from buyer. So to increase the productivity of an organization effectively, well-organized
merchandising management practice is necessary.
