Abstract
Apparel business applies different techniques to keep pace with the incremental competition conditions and changing consumer demands. The new design needs new analysis; new manufacturing technique which will take much more time. There is no practice of scientific analysis to manufacturing a new design garment. Critical path method is one of the most effective techniques which is a systematic approach to identifying and reducing manufacturing time through the earliest start time and the earliest finish time and also provides a scientific method for product manufacturing and whole production management. This study was carried out at a men’s T- shirt producer i.e., a ready wear company. The current state of the production lines was analyzed within the scope of the study. Then t-shirt production lines were organized with the CPM techniques. The main strategy of CPM was estimated actual operation time by decreasing traditional manufacturing time. As a result, using of the CPM in garment manufacturing less the lead time of production time as well as the whole manufacturing system gets a new approach and also manufacturer are able to produce the product within minimum possible time and the apparel manufacturer will be able to fabricate contemporary fashion production project.
Highlights
Nowadays the apparel business faces competitiveness worldwide
The critical path is a sequence of individual activities of a project that must be finished on schedule so that the whole project is completed on time
The study was intended to confine the current status of all the system of critical path method where we find out the potential method of manufacturing
Summary
Nowadays the apparel business faces competitiveness worldwide. For total production and shipment it may take long time, three to six months, where fashion is changing in a week. It is just in these phases that the availability of the production layout of previous product statistics is crucial, since most of the layouts that will be sustained in the product or design are implicitly determined by the choices made during the elaboration of the concept and the detailed design of the new product. For this reason, different techniques approaches have been developed to cope with the problem of the estimation of manufacturing system in highly uncertain perspectives. Activities along the path cannot begin until a predecessor activity is complete (Figure 1)
