This study aims to find out the impact of compensation on turnover intention on employees of the production department, a case study of a garment company in Bandung City. The research uses methods of qualitative analysis and data collection methods with interviews, documentation and library research. This research population is the whole of employees associated with a garment company in the city of Bandung. The validity and reliability tests in this study use triangulation. There are three processes of data analysis techniques: data reduction, data presentation, conclusion and verification. The result of this study is that the analysis of compensation is a factor causing turnover intention. It can be said that compensation to employees of the production part of a garment company in Bandung City is in the bad category. Results have been obtained which indicate that the employee's current compensation is not sufficient to meet employee needs. This is because of the company's lack of attention in giving a fair and decent salary to every employee. Besides that the turnover intention on employees of the production part of a garment company in Bandung City is in the high category. The result was that as much as 70% (7 employees) had a desire to leave the company to get a better job. To conclude, the company has violated a number of state rules relating to fair pay rules that violate the Regulations of the Minister of Employment of the Republic of Indonesia No. 18 Year 2022 Article 2 Paragraph (1), and violates the accuracy of pay timing of section 61 of the Government Regulations (PP) No. 36 Year 2021 On Employment.

DATA ANALYSIS FOR THE PREDICTION OF TEXTILE WASTE RECYCLING IN UKRAINE

The textile and sewing industry is known to be the second most environmentally harmful industry for the environment. To maintain a circular economy, textile sources should be recycled, repaired, and used as much as possible while retaining their value. This research provides primary information about the database of post-production textile waste. The data suggests that 30 garment companies produce 778.11 tons of postproduction textile waste per year, with cotton accounting for 42.14% and polyester for 32.45%. It is important to consider processing waste using different technologies according to the certification of textile waste to determine its raw material composition and purity. For an effective waste management policy, it is essential to implement it systematically, continually assess outcomes and challenges, and involve all stakeholders and activities that generate and manage waste. This is crucial in formulating an effective waste management policy.

From waste to worth: a mediation analysis of lean manufacturing and operational performance in developing country

PurposeLean Manufacturing Systems (LMS) gained popularity among manufacturers globally. However, their efficacy in developing and least-developed countries remained noticeably understudied. Motivated by this research gap, the researchers of this study designed a quantitative study with a structured survey technique to investigate its context-specific impact on the apparel industry of a developing country. Hence, this study aimed to examine the relationship between LMS and elimination of waste (EOW) and operational performance (OP) and comprehend how the EOW mediates the relationship between an LMS and OP within the apparel industry of a developing economy.Design/methodology/approachThe researchers collected data from 227 garment companies in Bangladesh. These organization-level data were then analyzed using the structural equation modeling approach with AMOS 20.0 software to examine the direct and indirect effects among EOW, LMS and OP.FindingsThe findings of this study suggest that EOW has a direct and significant effect on OP. This research also revealed that EOW has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between LMS and OP.Research limitations/implicationsThis research focused on a single industry administering self-reported data and cross-sectional design, limiting generalizability and causal inference.Practical implicationsLMS and directing efforts towards EOW can significantly improve the operational performance of apparel companies by reducing lead times and costs, improving quality and increasing productivity.Originality/valueThese findings can provide useful insight to managers, practitioners and future researchers to understand the relationship between EOW, LMS and OP to optimize their production processes and improve OP in the apparel industry.

Redesign The Layout of Production Facilities at a Garment Company Using the BLOCPLAN Method to Optimize Material Handling

Facility layout design is crucial in production layout setups. The composition of facilities that corresponds to the flow of materials between departments will help to ensure the production system's continuity. PT. KMC is a garment company in West Jakarta that manufactures shirts, dresses, and t-shirt bloats. The company's current layout facilities have not run optimally. This is because inefficient movement distances result in wasted material handling costs, and crossing production flows between departments cause production processes to be disturbed. The objective of this project is to rethink facility layouts using the BLOCPLAN approach in order to optimize material handling. The BLOCPLAN approach may examine layout performance and generate new layout ideas for efficient material handling. The discussion is limited because this research was only conducted on one company. Based on the results of the layout redesign using the BLOCPLAN approach, various improvements were obtained, including a 37.12% increase in material handling cost efficiency. The proposed layout with the BLOCPLAN method is able to provide a reduction in material transfer distance of 22.6 meters and a material handling cost of Rp 155,346 when compared to the initial layout, which had a total overall displacement distance of 35.8 meters and an initial layout material handling cost of Rp 247,059, making it much cheaper.

Corporate social responsibility on worker turnover rate and worker turnover cost: the role of symbolic image dimensions and the unemployment rate

Purpose This study aims to examine the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and worker turnover rate (WTR) and worker turnover cost (WTC) in Vietnamese garment companies, using the mediating role of symbolic image dimensions (SID) of employer image and the moderating role of unemployment rate. Design/methodology/approach This study uses Signaling Theory and Job Embeddedness Theory as theoretical frameworks to examine the mediating role of SID and the moderating role of the unemployment rate on the link between CSR and WTR, as well as the associated cost. Data from 119 Vietnamese garment companies are analyzed using structural equation modeling – AMOS software. Findings The findings suggest that CSR has a direct adverse effect on the WTR and an indirect effect on WTC through WTR. The results also indicate a direct relationship between the level of CSR adopted by companies and workers’ perception of the symbolic attributes of their company’s employer image as sincere, innovative, competent and prestigious. This, in turn, leads to a reduced rate of worker turnover. In addition, this study discovers the moderating influence of the region’s unemployment rate on the correlation between companies’ CSR and WTR. Practical implications The results indicate that companies should view CSR as a strategic tool to obtain better performance by achieving a win-win state of affairs with their workers. It also implies the influence of external economic factors on the relationship between CSR and worker turnover. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the economic benefits of CSR and the SID.
