Application of Industrial Engineering in Garments Sewing Floor

Abstract

"Application of Industrial Engineering in Garments Sewing Floor" is the basis for this project. Method development is critical to any procedure's success if it leads to increased resource application by reducing or, if possible, eliminating non-value added time and activities from the process. The outcomes obtained after implementing lean methods were really positive. Production cycle time is reduced by 9%, the number of operators required to produce the same amount of garment is reduced by 15%, rework is reduced by 75%, production lead time is reduced to one hour from two days, and work in progress inventory is kept at a maximum of 100 pieces rather than 500 to 1500 pieces. Apart from these valuable advantages, operator multiskilling and flexibility are also advantageous.
