Abstract

Traditional printing works in maximum garment indus tries are facing different problems like low produc tivity, longer production lead time, high rework and rejection, low flexibility, l ower quality product, high non-value added work etc . In this study these different problems were identified by using numerous effectiv e production control tools like process analysis, l ayout of work station, motion and time study, work standardization etc. The encou raging results after implementing these tools give the way to go forward and thrust to reach at the end point. Some key benefits of this implementation are decrease in sample reje ction level by 70%, reduction of work level for repairing works by 80%. Value stream mapping has been used to identify the most bottlen eck process. Eliminating bottleneck process results in reduction of excess m otion and non-value added works by 50%. As a result , total processing time for final output is decreased. After the implementation of these tools effectively, the result shows a significant improvement of the production than before. Index Terms: Value stream mapping, Production control tools, Pr ocess analysis, Motion study, Time study.
