Seven core reasons for shipment in garment industries

Seven core reasons for shipment delay The garment industry is based on material and manpower. Managing them well only could avoid delay in shipment. Most garment manufacturing industries are working on committed quantity, quality, and delivery time . If not achieve these three key factors, then, its ultimately lead to loss. Avoid loss and maintaining customer reliability is the primary key to success. Exceeding product cost will create a situation of “ Operation Success, But Patient Dead” Being successful managers, we should avoid this kind of critical situation. For that understanding core reasons and finding solutions are very important. End of a long study, we concluded below the seven reasons are often leading to delay in garment delivery.    Based on the case study below points are often caused by shipment delay. Picture 1.1  The above seven factors are highly affecting garment lead time . we will over-review them with remedial actions . 1. Sample and devel...

What is SMV produced? Avoid misunderstanding only referring production.

      WHAT IS SMV PRODUCED? What is SMV produced?  How to avoid misunderstanding by referring SMV produced. Usually, we use the number to understand the production. For example, easy style can get a higher number and tough product can get a lower number. We could not able to understand the degree of manufacturing  only by production number. In this case, how can understand the produced degree? For that industrial Engineer using the terminology is called SAM produced. Formula SMV produced = SMV x Production Refer below an example of two styles with different construction Comments: 1.  As per the above sketch of A and B, both styles are the difference in terms of workmanship & SMV.   2. Production for Style A = 700 pcs and style B = 600 pcs, Style B is 100 pcs less than style A 3. SMV Produced for Style A = 14,350 and style B = 16,560, Style B is 2,210 more than style A 4. But When we checked the SMV pro...

HOW TO CALCULATE BUNDLE HANLING TIME? (OR) HOW TO CALCULATE BHT?

  HOW TO CALCULATE BUNDLE HANDLING TIME?   BUNDLE HANDKING TIME (BHT): When we are calculating SAM, we used to add bundle handling time. Without BHT SAM may not be accurate. If the bundling system is not following then not required to consider. Often IE’s missed or not calculated BHT. Bundle handling time does not fall under regular routing performance. So we have to do a separate time study to find the bundle handling time per pies. a) Bundling handling time need to study at two processes, b) 1 -untie or open the bundle and other is align and tie the bundle c) Both times have to observe with a stopwatch and record them d) Based on the bundle side, the total time has to divided to each piece.     Formula to calculate bundle handling time BHT = (Observed time untie bundle + Observed time tie bundle) / Bundle quantity If Bundle opening time = 15 seconds, after completed process bundle tie time = 30 seconds, Bundle quan...

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, w...

What is SAM in the garment manufacturing industry?

  What is SAM in the garment manufacturing industry? What is SAM? SAM full form is S tandard A llowed M inutes for the particular operation. This is a measuring unit for the work content of garments. The SAM terminology often used by Industrial Engineer for calculations purposes. What is garment SAM ? How much standard time required to make complete a garment is called Garment SAM, SAM will be vary based on the style and workmanship of the garment and how we do that. Industrial Engineer is writing process break down particular garment. The process breakdown is a guideline to set a bulk production line. Based on process break down. Every process is analyses and estimated SAM. SAM is calculated over the period for various kinds of processes and the same is maintained in a database. SAM is the base value to do many calculations for example Target, manpower requirement, machinery requirement, manufacturing cost, efficiency, performance, Operator skill level, so on. SAM is the...
