DESIGNING
Based on the mood boards and colour themes developed, the design team looks for various inspirations to create products based on projected international design trends. Our designs are first developed using CAD techniques and then are selected based on viability according to target markets. A similar process is used to develop products for clients based on pre developed mood boards and colour themes issued by the customer. Our product management system assures exclusivity of designs for customers and ensures that no product conflict takes place between customers in the same region
TREND ANALYSIS
For the annual Surya collection, the in house design team, collects, analyses and develops the color trends based on the color projections by leading design authorities such as Pantone, Heimtextil. We then develop mood boards based on projected themes for the coming sales year.
SAMPLING
Designs are then sent to our productions centre, to be developed into samples. We first match colours using a process of lab dips and ensure colour compliance after testing on a light box. The sampling process is usually iterative, its takes at least two sampling iterations to match a sample exactly to its computer variant. After matching the sample exactly according to its CAD counterpart. The samples are either displayed at our showroom and for exclusive designs sent directly to client for selection purposes.
PRODUCTION
Before the production process begins, a Time and Action plan is created to ensure that product is manufactured on time. A product specification sheet is developed to ensure that mass production pieces are in accordance to original samples. The product yarn is purchased and the process of production such as dyeing, weaving, printing, stitching, cutting, finishing and final packaging take place. The goods are manufactures in Socially Compliant state of the art facility, be it our locations in Delhi, Panipat or Karur.
QUALITY CONTROL
At each major step of production, a quality control process takes place to ensure that any deficient pieces are removed from the production line. At the finishing step, each piece is checked twice to ensure quality and production as per standard. Depending on customer requirements the products are then sent for testing to reputed testing agencies such as SGS and Intertek. All Surya Exports products are Azo and Reach compliant based on European Regulations.
