A Study to Improve the Efficiency in Collar and Cuff Section

Abstract

For any garment industry the production and quality management or wastages reductions have a major impingement on overall factory economy. In garment industry maximum quality and production constraints arise in the sewing department. The minimization of reworks and line efficiency improvement in sewing department of any apparel industry for quality and production improvement plays a significant role on overall factory economy. It discusses the quality and line efficiency improvement of garment industry by applying quality tools such as checklist, cause and effect diagram, Traffic Light System and work measurement, line balancing techniques. The outcome of this observation depict that an industry may gain higher productivity and profitability, by reducing the costs and improving the quality constraints through minimization of rework activities and line efficiency improvement techniques.
