    This document summarizes a student project to improve the sewing process for producing jackets. The objectives were to reduce production costs by decreasing cycle times and the number of operators, identify opportunities to develop work aids to help operators, and reduce loading points and unnecessary operator movement. Through time studies and analysis of the existing process, suggestions were implemented such as an automatic tape unwinder and layout modifications. These process changes resulted in an 11.3% increase in daily jacket production, from 436 to 485 jackets per day, meeting the goals of improving process efficiency and sustainability for higher output.

    SEWING PROCESS IMPROVEMENT IN JACKET

    Student Name: SANJITH PANDEY (2008 12)


    Background:
    Improving processes is paramount for businesses to stay competitive in
    todays marketplace. Over the last 10 to 15 years companies have been
    forced to improve their processes because we, as customers, are demanding
    better and better products and services.
    Garment manufacturers who are basically export oriented are facing the
    problem of efficient manufacturing of great number of different models in
    small series. The reason for this is that foreign buyers are looking for
    partners capable of producing high quality in greater range and in small
    quantities, short delivery dates. As a result it has become necessary for the
    companies to improve the existing production process.

    Objectives of the project:

    To reduce the cost of production by reducing total cyclic time and


    number of operators where possible.

    To identify need of work aid developments in jacket line to aid the


    operators and to analyze their effects on the operation.

    To reduce the number of loading points and excess man and material
    movement.

    Methodology:

    Literature Survey of the topics related to project

    Study of the existing jacket line operations in a detailed manner.

    Cyclic time study of the whole line.

    Calculation of pitch time for the line and selection of operation for
    improvement based on pitch time.

    Application of following below mentioned concepts to improve the selected


    operations:-

    Method improvement

    Workstation design

    Ergonomic consideration

    Material Handling Reduction

    Reduction of excessive motion.

    Suggestion for modification of selected operations to improve the process.

    Implementation of changes in the line.

    Study of effect of these changes on the production of the line and on the
    operator for reducing material handling and movements.

    Preparation of report and report submission to the company.

    Discussion & Analysis:


    To analyze the current sewing process, Cyclic time study, pitch analysis and string
    diagram of the whole line were done. As a result various suggestions were given
    and implemented like automatic tape un-winder, modification of layout to improve
    material movement, development and implementation of new work aids.

    Conclusion:

    The main aim of the project was improvement in the process and to make the
    line sustainable for the higher production.

    There was strong effort taken for reducing the handling time and extra
    movement of operators.

    The production of the line at the start of project was 436 jackets/day. After
    the changes done, it grew up to 485 jackets/day. So there was an increase of
    49 jackets/day i.e. 11.3%in the production.
