If each garments value is minimum $3.5 dollars and manpower of cutting department are 128 and if their daily salary is $614.
Then total reject is 25, 000 x 2% = 500 pieces/day
So, if we convert the reject amount in US$, then total amount will be = 500 x $1
= $500/- Day
= Monthly reject amount will be = $500 x 25 (considering 25 working day)
= $12,500

= $11,886
If factory having cutting QC team, they can save $11,886 each month.
