Are the cart overloaded? Actually No! Then what went wrong?

When we saw the above turned-up donkey cart. We quickly assume that the cart is overloaded. Obsoletely the chart not turned up because of overloaded. Then what would be a core reason? refer below details.

Often used Japanese terms in the Industrial Engineering concept

1. Mura ( 斑)= Uneven loading.

2. Muri (無理) = Overburden.

3. Muda (無駄)= Waste

Causes of cart turned up

The load was not distributed properly on the donkey cart. The maximum load was kept on the backside. This caused uneven load. This is called “Mura”. Subsequently, the "Mura" led the cart to turn up. This situation created an overburden to the pulling donkey. The overburden is called “Muri”.  At last lost, the event ends up in obstacle. No movement or flow to add value to transporting. This becomes a waste. The waste is called “Muda”

Note: Many times the same situations occurring in the day to day activities. We have to check the work load distribution among the employees. This may helps to understand the real situation. Here, the work load has to be allocated based the capability of the people. We have assign right work to right person or we have to develop them and assign. These can be eventually help to improve. 

Conclusion:

Process analysis we often assumed incorrect root cause. we have to apply the 360-degree analysis for the absolute cause.

Reference:

1. Turn up the cart

2. Muda-Mura-Muri

12 FACTORS TO CALCULATE ACCURATE THREAD CONSUMPTION

  12 FACTORS TO CALCULATE ACCURATE THREAD CONSUMPTION  What is thread consumption per garment? How many threads required to sew a garment is called thread consumption. Sample selection for thread consumption calculation is very important, we have to select the right sample and size. Thread consumption calculation should consider proper allowance to avoid thread shortage or exceeding. Even thread cost is low than other cost of garment materials, thread consumption calculation is a very sensitive process. Providing incorrect thread consumption may lead to issues in production and delivery. Thread consumption formula, Thread consumption = (Seam length x Frequency x Factor) / 100 + Allowances What are the facts that should be consider making an accurate thread consumption report. 1. Samples Type When we select the sample for thread consumption calculation, we must be checked the type of sample. As below mentioned there are many types of samples. In all of them, we ha...

How to calculate the cost of manufacturing for a garment?

  A. Introduction In garment manufacturing industries, calculating of accurate Cost of Manufacturing (CM) is a bit complex work. Because we have to refer too many details to arrive CM. Most of the companies having their own method to arrive CM value. This is a bit multifaceted to understand and explain. Nowadays buyer wants open costing sheet with all cost breakup and they verifying all the cost. They raising queries if any deviation in cost breakup including our profit marge. In this circumstance, we have to adopt accurate and common CM calculating methods. So that, we can have our common standard to arrive at accurate CM and the same could explain to our buyer. When the organization did not follow the standard method to calculate CM, then it will create some subsequent issues. i.e. a) Underquoting b) Higher quoting c) Fluctuation in quoting   d) Not added current overhead increased f)   No clear tacking about how did calculate   g) Couldn’t able...
