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.

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.

Industrial Ergonomics in Apparel Manufacturing by Dr. Prabir Jana Pdf

‘Ergonomics’ in simple term means ‘the study of the efficiency of persons in their working environment’. Both in Europe and the United States, the use of principles to improve efficiency in the workplace began around the turn of the twentieth century, but it was only in 1949 when the term ‘ergonomics’ was first adopted. ‘Ergonomics’ is the science behind posture and risk analysis of workers, understanding the reasons for repetitive strain injuries and workplace re-engineering for a healthy and thus a productive organisation.

Cutting Room Management in Apparel Manufacturing by Dr. Prabir Jana, Mausmi Ambastha Pdf

Cutting-Sewing-Finishing is the common terminology used for the overall process that takes place in any organisation manufacturing garments via the industrial way. The cutting room or cutting department is the place where all the pre-sewing activities like spreading, cutting, bundling, ticketing, fusing, and embroidery are conducted before the cut components are sent to the sewing department. In a garment factory, cutting department is pivotal from the point of view of controlling the material utilisation, considering the fact that material constitutes 60% of the manufacturing cost. Although the labour cost component in spreading and cutting is very less in comparison to sewing, the process involves material conversion which is irreversible, and hence, it is profoundly significant. Like any other department, the technology used and the processes being followed are the two most important parameters of cutting room. This multi-author book is an honest attempt on our part to cover all the cutting room processes in detail to unravel the relevance of material utilisation for garment manufacturing and thus provide an essential guide for cutting room managers and executives. These processes act as the tipping point for a garment factory where even a minor wastage or saving done in the fabric being used can have a major impact on the order margins. Besides, they lay the foundation for the garments’ quality and hence become all the more important.

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.

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.

Future Factory of Apparel Manufacturing by Dr. Prabir Jana,Ed Dominguez,Adam Wood Pdf

Apparel manufacturing globally remains the same over the last fifty years; only migrated from one country to another in search of cheap labour. Notwithstanding, the changing economics of production and distribution, shifts in consumer demand, the emergence of “fast fashion” and the political agenda of reshoring and sustainable manufacturing are pushing apparel manufacturers to explore radically new ways of creating and capturing value. The fourth industrial revolution more commonly known as Industry 4.0 has already brought a plethora of technologies for adoption in manufacturing. The increased processing power of computing and miniaturization of chip size is making things earlier thought impossible, possible. The reduction in cost of data processing, storing and transferring has made AI and ML affordable for commercial use. The mighty robots changed themselves to safe co-bots to work alongside human workers. A wind of change is visible, and the apparel manufacturing industry is also embracing newer technologies and manufacturing concepts to herald in the new era of future manufacturing. This book details how different technologies are going to shape apparel manufacturing factories of the future.
