Problems/ Challanges

Here most of the process time are showing their point far range from basic pitch time.

Process “Attaching Sleeves” sleeve have “bottleneck”.

Lines and operators can not reach the basic pitch range.

Process Times are effecting the “Standard Minute Value” (SMV).

It also effecting the daily production target.

Recommendations

Line Supervisor have to balance the line to get the best result.

Quick action and proper response needed from worker.

Highly Skilled operator should implanted on bottlenecked area.

Conclusion

Most of the Bangladeshi apparel industries are not really productive which is compensated by off the clock work. Some factories work more than 14 hours per day to achieve production & shipment target. This situation cannot be continue for long as foreign buyers have become very sensitive to violation of local laws and their code of conduct. So Bangladesh apparel industries have no other choice but to improve productivity in substantial way. So work study and time management system should introduce and implement in the RMG sector.
