How to calculate different efficiency in garment industries

I

1. Introduction

Producing ability is measured as efficiency in the garment industry. This is a measure used to understand the degree of producing capacity within the given time. It is a ratio of time and production.

2. How to calculate efficiency?

A simple formula to calculate efficiency,  

Efficiency = (SAM x Production) / Available time x 100

Example1: SAM = 0.5, Production = 500, Available time = 480min

Efficiency = (SAM x Production) / Available time x 100

            = (0.5 x 500) / 480 x 100

            = 250 /480 x 100

Efficiency = 52.08% ----------------------------------------------------------------(a)          

3.       Different kind of efficiency and how to calculate?

a)      How to calculate operator efficiency

To measure the operator producing ability, we calculate the operator’s efficiency.

Formula

Operator efficiency for a day = (SAM x Production) / Available time x 100

Example2: Operator efficiency calculation for a day.

If SAM = 0.6, Production = 600, Working minute = 480, then calculate efficiency.

 

Eff  = (SAM x Prod) / Avl Time x 100

       = (0.6 x 600) / 480 x 100

Eff  = 75 %

Efficiency achieved = 75% -------------- (b)

 Formula

Operator efficiency for a month = (SAM x Production) / (Work days x Available time) x 100

Example3: Operator efficiency calculation for a month.

If SAM = 0.6, Production = 12,500 pcs, Working minute = 480, working day = 25 days, then calculate efficiency.

 

Eff=(SAM x Prod) / (Working day x Avl Time)x100

      = (0.6 x 12,500) / (25x 480) x 100

      = 7500 / 12000 x 100

Eff = 60 %

Efficiency achieved = 60% --------------- (c)

 b)      How to calculate line efficiency

Line efficiency is calculated based on the line produced, manpower utilized, and working minutes. Line efficacy is denoting the group efficacy of the particular line.

Formula

Line efficiency for a day = (SAM x Production) / (Manpower used x Available time) x 100

Example4: Line efficiency calculation for a day.

If SAM = 20, Production = 550 pcs, working minute = 480, manpower = 40 days, then calculate efficiency.

 

Eff=(SAM x Prod) / (manpower x Avl Time)x100

      = (20 x 550) / (40x 480) x 100

      = 11000 / 19200 x 100

Eff = 57.29 %

Line Efficiency = 57.29% --------------- (d)

Formula

Line efficiency for a month = (Avg.SAM x Production) / (Manpower used for month x Available time) x 100

Example5: Line efficiency calculation for a month.

If Avg. SAM = 20, Production = 14000 pcs, working minute = 480, total manpower = 950 days, then calculate efficiency.

 

Eff=(Avg.SAM x Prod) / (manpower x Avl Time)x100

      = (20 x 14000) / (950x 480) x 100

      = 280000 / 456000 x 100

Eff = 61.4 %

Line Efficiency = 61.4% --------------- (d)

4.       What is the meaning of performance?

Performance is similar to efficiency the calculation, only loss time is reduced from available time

Formula

Performance = (SAM x Production) / (Available time-Loss time)  x 100

a)       What is the meaning of downtime or loss time?

Loss time is also called downtime due to electricity down, No feeding, Machine breakdown, Rework time, etc.

b)      How to calculate performance

Performance  = (SAM x Production) / Available time-loss time x 100

Example:4:

SAM = 0.6, Production = 600, Loss time = 60 min, Working minutes = 480 minute then

 Performance     = (0.6 x 600) / (480 – 60) x 100

                           = 360 / 420 x 100

Performance      = 85.71 % ---------------------------------------- (e)   

Efficiency  = (0.6 x 600) / 480 x 100

                   = 360 / 480 x 100

Efficiency =  75.0% --------------------------------------------- (e’)

Here (e) and (e’) are calculated the performance and efficiency for the same values.  

Correlation for same vales

Efficiency = < Performance ---------------------------------- (f)

5.       What is the difference between efficiency and performance?

Efficiency is calculated based on available time, Performance is calculated after reduced loss time in the available time. For example, available time is 480 minutes and Loss time is 80, in this case, 480-80 = 400 minutes considered for calculating performance.

How to make the best layout? What are the points that should be considered?

Introduction Garment manufacturing industries are following many types of layouts. In that, most of them are not efficient in all aspects. It is having some won merit and demerit. So, how could we make an efficient layout?   What are the basic points that should be considered? We will review one by one in below session. What is the right layout? Which layout is suitable to produce better efficiency is called right-layout . Simply arranging manpower, machines, furniture, material, etc. could not be the right layout. We have a few key things which should be considered during the layout design.    A. Work balance and workmanship distribution       Thump rule of layout design is workload balancing. Sewing lines is containing many processes. i.e. P1, P2, P3,…., Pn. All the process has to be balanced well. That should not be imbalanced between each and another process. For Example, P1 can produce 120 units, P2 can produce 50 pcs. In these cases, P2 is ...
