Abstract:
In this research of NPT, rootcause identification methodology has been used to
reduce the non-productivities activities in sewing operation in garment
manufacturing. The rapidly changing economic conditions, such as global
competition, diminishing profit margins, consumer demand for high-quality
products, product diversity, and shorter lead times, among other aspects, have a
significant influence on the garment manufacturing industry. For any garment
industry, cost and time related to production and quality management or waste
minimizations have significant impact on overall expenditure. In order to save time
and minimize internal process time, steps have been taken to evaluate and eliminate
non-productive time emphasizing on the sewing operations and also the other
backward linkage departments. This research work focuses on observing the root
causes of NPT of different types of garments in sewing operations and other related
departments to analyze the reasons for loss time that results in loss pieces. The
outcome of this research work is to highlight on improving productivity and
recommend the steps to reduce the causes of NPT in garment production that would
maximize the profit and minimize the cost of production.
