Implementation of Industrial Engineering Activities in Small Scale Industry

Abstract

In the current scenario, the fashion industry needs to satisfy various customer needs in terms of both quantity and quality of products. In traditional methods, the clothing industry used basic sewing machines for all operations with the help of human power, so introducing different styles in clothing was very difficult at that time. Industrial engineering concepts are applicable in this field to improve productivity and quality in order to surpass the competitive market. Garment manufacturing involves a number of operations in different departments. In the garment sector, to improve productivity and quality, they must focus on machine, method, material and man. Thus, the concept of industrial engineering will cover and handle all the above factors and help to improve the productivity as well as the quality of products that will satisfy the needs of consumers. This article will discuss the existing (manufacturing) methods in garment units and help them to improve their productivity by applying one of the latest techniques such as capacity study, work study, time study, operator performance, tracking, incorporation. -Progress and the KAIZEN method are already proven techniques for improving productivity in various industries.
