Operation Breakdown in Garment Industry

Operation Breakdown in Garment Industry

Operation Breakdown:

Breakdown is a listing of the content of a job by elements. A garment consists of some parts and some group of operations. Breakdown means to writing down all parts and all process/operation after one another lying with the complete garment according to process sequence. It is a must to write down the estimated SMV and type of machine beside each and every process.

Operation Breakdown of Garment

Operation Breakdown Procedure:

1.      Floor section leader, team leader technician and work study officer must sit together to make breakdown.

2.      Technician breaks the garments into parts an gathered the parts one after another by operation/process

3.      Then work study officer and floor section leader fox up the SMV of those operation

4.      By proceeding this technique when all process completed need to summarize all process SMV and the total will be called as respective garments SMV

Benefit of Operation Breakdown:

§  Can see the all operations of the garments at a time.

§  Can anticipate the difficulties of doing critical operation

§  Can make layout in a easy, simple and less time consuming way.

§  Easy to select right operator for right process.

§  Can know the quantity and types of machine to make the garment required.

§  Can be conscious about quality for fill up the buyer standard.

§  Breakdown can know about additional guide, folder and attachment.

Calculation of Operation Breakdown:

§  Target per hour= (Worker x Working hour x 60/ SMV) x efficiency %

§  Basic Pitch Time (BPT) =Total SMV / Total Manpower

§  Upper Control Limit (UCL) = BPT / Wanted Organizational Efficiency(0.85)  [It may 0.90 or 0.95]

§  Lower Control Limit (LCL) = BPT × 2 – UCL

Analysis of Operation Breakdown:

§  To calculate capacity study, first we have to take at least five readings of each worker of all process.

§  Then we have to calculate the average value of these five readings

§  After then, the SMV calculation

§  Then target calculation ( 60/SMV)
