dc.description.abstract | The project is on industrial training in garments. Traditionally operated garments
industries are facing problems like how productivity, longer production lead time,
high re-work and rejection, poor line balancing, low flexibility of style changeover
etc. These problems were address in this study by the implementation of lean tools
like cellular manufacturing, single piece flow, work standardization, just in time
production etc. After implementation of lean tools results observed were highly
encouraging. Some of the production time decreased by 8%, number of the
operations required to produced equal amount of garments decreased by 14%,
rework label reduced by80%, work in process inventory stays at maximum of 100
pieces from around 500 to 1500 piece. Apart from these tangible benefits operator
multi skilling as well as flexibility of style changeover has been improved. This study
is connected in the stitching section of shirt manufacturing company. This study
includes time study, the conversation of traditional batch production into single piece
flow and long assembly line into small work cells | en_US |
