Study on Efficiency & Productivity of Sewing Line

Abstract

This project is on “Study on Efficiency & Productivity of Sewing Line”. Traditionally operated garment industries are facing problems like low productivity, longer production lead time, high rework and rejection, poor line balancing, low flexibility of style changeover etc. In this paper, we have collected 10 days data from the industry. In the data, we have showed here target production, actual production, working hour, SMV, manpower, machine quantity. From that we have calculated the target efficiency, actual efficiency, machine productivity, labor productivity, the variance between the actual efficiency and the target efficiency. We have shown here all this data what we have collected from industry in 12 line for 10 days. Also we have shown here how to calculate the target efficiency, actual efficiency and machine productivity, labor productivity. Numerous developments and handlings are drilled by the administrators which are superfluous. In this paper, we have seen the target efficiency and the actual efficiency of the day 1 have 43% and 42.8% and the last day that means day 10 target and actual efficiency have increased to 49.7% and 49.7%. So, here we have seen the variance of the first day and last day efficiency. And we have also shown here the summery of 10 days efficiency, where the target efficiency have 46.4% and the actual efficiency have also 46.4%. The summery of 10 days productivity have machine productivity 63.01 and labor productivity 44.01. Here we have also shown the graph of figure where we have seen the variance of the actual efficiency and the target efficiency easily. We have discussed here the result and discussion from this data and how to increase the efficiency and the productivity of the sewing line.
