- Industrial Engineering — The Engine of Apparel Factory Productivity4
- 1.1What IE delivers beyond data: Cost control, efficiency, on-time delivery
- 1.2Key terms: SAM (Standard Allowed Minute), SMV (Standard Minute Value), Takt Time, Efficiency %, Line Balance %, OEE
- 1.3IE’s role in pre-costing, production planning, process design
- 1.4Example: How accurate SMV helped an exporter avoid margin loss
- Work Study & SAM — The Heart of Factory Costing5
- 2.1Work Study process: Method study + Time study
- 2.2Steps to develop accurate SAM
- 2.3Factors: Machine time, allowances, motion economy, rating
- 2.4Basic time, standard time, synthetic data, PMTS (Pre-determined Motion Time Systems)
- 2.5Activity: Develop a SAM for a simple operation (e.g., pocket attachment) using given data
- Line Balancing — Theory to Factory Floor5
- 3.1The impact of imbalance: bottlenecks, WIP pileup, low utilization
- 3.2Line balancing method: balance chart, balancing loss %, cycle time alignment
- 3.3Lean + IE integration: Pull systems, modular lines
- 3.4Case Study: Line balancing reduced bottleneck delays in a knitwear line by 20%
- 3.5Case: Line balancing reduced bottleneck delays in a knitwear line by 20%
