Industrial Engineering in Apparel Manufacturing by Dr. Prabir Jana, Dr. Manoj Tiwari Pdf

While there is pressure (from buyers), inclination (within self to do better) and a heightened aspiration among apparel manufacturers to use Industrial Engineering (IE) like other more industrialized sectors, there is no specific book as such dealing with IE in relation to apparel manufacturing. The existing books that are already written on IE possess academic rigour and generic functions applicable across industries, thus making it difficult for the practitioners to refer and clear discrete doubts related to apparel manufacturing. Undoubtedly, work study is the centrepiece of Industrial Engineering; however apart from work study, industrial engineers in apparel industry are also supposed to perform various other functions like preparing operation breakdown and operation flow chart, selecting machine type and attachment and workaids, planning machine layout for maximizing unidirectional material movement, optimising inventory and storage space and maintaining workplace health and safety. These are some of the areas that often lack significant attention. This practitioner’s handbook is an amalgamation of theory and practices, including steps of implementation and common mistakes. A balanced approached is taken to make it equally meaningful and useful for the academics as well as the industry. A unique section titled “industry practices” is incorporated at the end of each chapter which shares the typical practices, constraints and benefits accrued by the industry, which will give meaningful insight to the readers and help them relate theory with actual practice.

Biomechanical Engineering of Textiles and Clothing by Yan Li,D X-Q Dai Pdf

Biomechanical engineering enables wearers to achieve the highest level of comfort, fit and interaction from their clothing as it is designed with the mechanics of the body in mind. This enables products to be developed that are specifically designed for the mechanics of their end purpose (e.g. sports bra) as well as the everyday movement of the body. This is the first book to systematically describe the techniques of biomechanical engineering principles, methods, computer simulation, measurements and applications. Biomechanical engineering of textiles and clothing addresses issues of designing and producing textiles and clothing for optimum interaction and contact with the body. It covers the fundamental theories, principles and models behind design and engineering for the human body’s biomechanics, contact problems arising between textiles/clothing and the body and the mechanics of fibres, yarns, textiles and clothing. Material properties are discussed in relation to mechanical performance. It also includes coverage of the Clothing Biomechanical Engineering System developed at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and its associated models and databases. The book concludes with practical examples of clothing applications to illustrate how to carry out biomechanical engineering design for specific applications. Addresses issues of designing and producing textiles for interaction and contact with the body Covers fundamental theories, principles and models behind design and engineering Contains practical examples of clothing applications to illustrate biomechanical engineering design for specific applications

Industrial Engineering in Apparel Production by V. Ramesh Babu Pdf

The garment manufacturing industry faces many global challenges due to various factors including competition, increased production costs, less productivity/efficiency and labor attribution. So, there is a need to focus and concentrate on identifying the real issues, taking corrective actions suited to the specific industrial centre of the unit, empowering the technical and managerial staff by enhancing their knowledge and ability, analysing orders efficiently and deciding whether actions are viable for the company. Industrial engineering in apparel production reviews the techniques for internal correction and openness for a knowledge/technology approach that needs to be built into the mind of the faculties to be upgraded as system run, rather than people run. The author emphasizes that the industrial engineering concept needs to be imparted to the facilities to increase productivity. With its highly distinguished author, Industrial engineering in apparel production is a valuable reference for students, researchers, industrialists, academics and professionals in the clothing and textile industry.

Workplace Engineering in Apparel Manufacturing by Horst Henning, Peter Pinder Browne, Paul Collyer Pdf

There is surely a bridge between the management goal and the performance of employees working to achieve that goal, be it any industry and the apparel sector is not an exception. Designing a workplace that can bridge this gap to deliver the maximum output is an important area of concern. Though, there are many technologies available in the market today that can help the organizations to overcome the challenges and compete with their competitors. One of the major challenges is the cost associated with technologies which makes it difficult to be opted by small manufacturers and secondly, the lack of technical know-how as well as understanding of the technology. One of the proven solutions is: changing the workplace into an engineered workplace that can help the manufacturers in achieving the desired goals and targets with maximum efficiency and effectiveness. This series will take the garment manufacturers through a number of articles that will help them identify new ways and methodologies that will result in improved productivity and the key of all the articles remains the same: re-engineering the current workplace into a workstation.

Performance Measurement in Apparel Manufacturing by Mausmi Ambastha, Anand Deshpande Pdf

Performance measurement is a process for collecting and reporting information regarding the performance of an individual, group or organisations. The fundamental purpose behind this measure is to improve performance. Key Performance Indicators, often abbreviated as KPIs, help an organisation define and measure progress towards organisational goals. These KPIs are quantifiable measurements, agreed to beforehand, that reflect the critical success factors of an organisation. By using KPIs, a company can establish baseline figures against a number of important areas. They can be considered like a health check on a company or a diagnosis as to where a company can improve its performance. Different KPIs are there for different fields of operations such as merchandising, quality, production planning, cutting room, human resources management and inventory management for enhancing both the operational and financial performances of a business. Each of these metrics have been explained in terms of their measurement formula, benchmarks wherever available, and elaborated with examples to ensure that they are correctly interpreted and applied.
