Productivity and IE in Apparel Manufacturing

Lesson 475  of  Industrial Engineering ONLINE Course - Applied Industrial Engineering Module

Though job profile of an Industrial Engineer may vary from one company to another, most of the job profile fall under following list.


1.   Knowledge about various sewing production systems
2.   Knowledge of all types of Sewing machine necessary for the company
3.   Time study (Cycle timing)
4.   Motion analysis of the operations
5.   Operation break down
6.   Preparation of OB (Operation bulletin)
7.   SAM Calculation
8.   M/C Layout and Work station layout
9.   Line Set up
10. Production estimation of a line
11. Work Sampling
12.  Method Study (Seeing Movements of an operation)
13. WIP Control
14. Line Balancing
15. Capacity study
16. Cost estimation of a garment
17. Developing and Maintaining Skill Matrix
18. Incentives schemes
19. Calculating Thread Consumption
20. Work aids, Guide and Attachment
21.  Performance Rating
An industrial engineer must have knowledge and skill on each tool and technique. Implementation of all tools at a time is not needed. An engineer has to go step by step.

Almost all work-study tools and methodology are adopted from others industries and implemented in the garment industry. So each work-study tool has guaranteed benefit if it is used effectively.


My comment on the above LinkedIn Post: "Knowledge of all types of Sewing machine necessary for the company" Machine effort industrial engineering has to be the primary task.
