It really helps full proceed to again the actual delivery date of products or services. It's very essential to maintain the T&A in the activities in the textiles and garments industries.

To -Do list.

Maintaining the To-Do list is a very effective practice in merchandising and marketing in the textile industries. In To-Do list we can write down the planned and pending tasks daily basis with the priorities. Have to complete too many tasks related to communication, approval, production, and with the buyers, suppliers, and individual departments like spinning, knitting, dyeing, cutting, sampling, printing, embroidery, sewing, finishing, and packing. So, if a merchandiser forgets to deliver the important instructions to the concerned department, which he/she received from the buyer, then there would be too many financial losses in that factory. But if he/she has maintained the To Do list, then will not happen like this disaster situation.

To-Do list has made organized the activities of a lot of works of merchandisers. To-Do lists are essential if you are going to beat work overload. When you don’t use them effectively, you will appear unfocused and unreliable to the people around you.

Normally, the merchandisers have used a notebook or Microsoft word, or note pad to keep a record of the To-Do list. Otherwise too many apps, tools are available in online. You can also use google keep,google tasks which available for chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers. Furthermore, you can use many apps like rememberthemilk, any.do,  for the platform of Android, Windows, macOS, and iPhone/iPad. Those services are free, but here have option if you buy premium services.

But personally, I’m using the excel spreadsheet to maintaining my daily pending task.

After completing the pending task, I have to remove this and note down if any of the pending tasks to finish for the next step.

Next time I will discuss another topic in the next episode.
