Study on capacity study of sewing and finishing section of a garments industry

Abstract

Industrial engineering is an important and essential part of any apparel industry. The productivity and efficiency of the sewing lines has been increased. The thesis is “Study on Capacity study of Sewing and Finishing Section of a Garments Industry” is properly many knowledge is achieved of This project and results is found that in back rise top stitch process the actual production is 150 pieces per hour. But after doing capacity study we found calculated production of back rise top stitch is 164 pieces per hour. Found that in hangtag process the actual production is 110 pieces per hour. But after doing capacity study we found calculated production of hangtag is 136 pieces per hour. We worked hard with the patient to complete the project. The proper handling of our supervisor helps us to complete our project properly. So we are grateful to our supervisor. However from this project we gathered a vital experience about line balancing, SMV, productivity, line efficiency, manpower, machine, cycle time, time study, sewing line etc. It can be said that without arranging a proper line balancing on the sewing floor of a garments factory optimum productivity & efficiency cannot be gained. So productivity can be achieved by allocating skill & semi-skilled workers to the right place and unskilled operator should be trained properly. At last, the noticeable achievements of line balancing are-: improvement of productivity, smooth work flow, balanced cycle time, easy fault finding, reduced bottleneck, balanced line efficiency, reduction operation breakdown, equal distribution of work, skilled, semiskilled & unskilled co-ordination and easy way to supervise.
