Departments for the Manufacture of Footwear.

In medium and large companies the workstations are divided by departments, this in order to segment the tasks according to the inputs, materials, tools, machinery and personnel with it to ensure that the production flows are made in the most correct way, avoiding as much as possible the failures or irregularities.


In the Footwear Industry also the tasks are divided into departments that will be responsible for producing shoes from the moment of design to obtain the final product. These departments are: 

·Department of design and pattern.

Objectives.

 

 

 

 

·         Drawing of the final result.

· Proposal of materials, colors, textures.

· Presentation of patterns, according to the model.

 

In the world we can find millions of different footwear models, and really this is the first phase of the whole process. You have an idea in mind but this must materialize, for it the designer will reflect it in a technical drawing of the model of final footwear, this anger accompanied by other specifications such as materials, colors, textures, applications, etc.

 

But also this drawing must be presented in the form of patterns, as if the shoe was unarmed and open, to proceed to the second phase. 

Court department.

Objectives.

·         Drawing of patterns on the skin.

·Cutting of the material.

As its name indicates in this second phase we proceed to make all the cuts of the parts that make up the footwear, this can be done manually, with the help of machines or in a mixed way as is almost always customary.

The cut must have the material in the correct sense, taking good care of any imperfection in the skin caused by tears, cuts, burns, fungi and/or stains. Within this level we can define the following steps: 

 

Filleting: the marking of the edges on the edges of the cut is done, it is a manual work in which a good pulse is needed.

Die: The logo and production batch information is marked on the material.

Divided: with great precision you are given the necessary thickness for each cut, this must be precise according to the required conditions.

Reduced: The thickness of the skin is reduced, especially on the edges of the same.

Scratching: With silver ink or coloured pencils, the guide lines are used to assemble and assemble in the right places.

Revision: Finally, all the pieces are counted while monitoring that all have the necessary quality and can move to the next phase.
