Garment manufacturing process development

Process improvement assumes a pivotal part in the garment industry, influencing different parts of creation proficiency, item quality, cost administration, and in general seriousness. The following are multiple manners by which process improvement can fundamentally affect the article of clothing industry:

1. Efficiency and Productivity

2.Quality Control

3.Supply Chain Management

4.Cost Management

5.Flexibility and Responsiveness

6.Environmental Sustainability

7.Technology Integration

Process development: Process development is a key to overall improvement of the garment industry. Factory efficiency can be greatly increased by individual study of each operation without increasing factory costing. Improved quality control procedures may be implemented at different production stages as part of process development. Reducing bottlenecks and streamlining processes are key components of efficient process development. By doing this, downtime and delays are reduced and a smooth and continuous production flow is ensured. Process improvements frequently result in cost reductions. This might include resource usage that is more effectively managed, decreased material waste, and cheaper labor expenses as a result of higher productivity. I'll be sharing my experience today with a tiny process development, but even though it's modest, you can calculate the influence it has on the entire plant. By building new equipment using only readily accessible materials and without making any type of investment, we may quickly enhance our methods.

Process chosen to improve: Patch pocket hemming of bottom garment and today I will touch upon this process.

The first step in preparing the pocket before attaching it to the back of the garment is patch pocket hemming. Depending on the given design drawing or example, it might be a single needle lock stitch, double needle lock stitch, single needle chain stitch, double needle chain stitch, or many more variations. To increase the productivity of this procedure, the majority of manufacturers import the newest VI.BE. MAC machine type these days. We are attempting to perform the manual modification without spending any money because this is an expensive machine.

Name of the process: "Patch pocket hemming"

Processes to complete Patch pocket hemming: 1. Patch pocket creasing by iron SMV: 0.12 Minute Target per hour: 500pcs

2.Patch pocket hemming SMV: 0.33 Minute Target per hour: 180 pcs

Improvement: We have introduced a new folder for pocket hemming. We have introduced a metal folder which is basically divided into three parts. A middle part which ensures hem height and is connected to the main part by means of a hinge which can be turned up and down as desired.

The next part is a metal sheet that is also attached to the main folder with a hinge and is used to hold the pocket hemming in place.

The third part is the main folder that holds the previous two parts. The core is attached to the machine bed by screws keeping the needle straight. By using which it has been possible to produce more quantity of quality without using the creasing process. And it didn't cost any money to create this folder. We were able to make this folder with old waste materials from the factory only. The outcome of the improvement displayed as below:

Reduced Lead Times Reduce cost Enhanced Quality Control Increased Productivity Save manpower Save electricity Improve efficiency

Savings: By implement the folder we saved minutes and manpower for the factory as shown in below: Saved minutes: 0.12 (Creasing process) Saved manpower: 1 (Iron operator)

So overall we have saved for a month as per below:

0.12 minutes for that particular order. 1 Manpower which cost minimum 100$ per month.

Conclusion:

In summary, effective cycle advancement in the article of clothing industry can prompt enhancements in efficiencies, item quality, cost administration, and by and large seriousness. Embracing advancement and keeping up to date with industry patterns are fundamental for progress in this powerful and cutthroat area.
