WHY - GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS
WHAT - CONTINOUS IMPROVEMENT
HOW - FOLLOWING BETTER ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES WHY GARMENT ENGINEERING?
Garment Engineering need
to be looked as science and not as an art.
Helps G.E Designers & Technologists
Develop
Produce Designs Samples (Production Oriented) Definition: Making of garment at a best cost with acceptable quality levels with continuous improvement & improvisation in the process.
We have to perform better at present business trend
• Reduce Price • Increasing costs of manufacturing • Reduced lead time • Stiffer quality means • Compliance norms • Tough Labor laws • Quota free trade G.E results in……………
• Higher Productivity • Increased Profitability • Reduction in work content • Simplified work process • Greater awareness of equipment • Better utilization of folders & attachments, thus reducing manpower. • Proper production information system & documentation to management WHAT IS G.E? • Definition: Technique of continuous improvisation and improvement in manufacturing of the garments.
G.E. Purpose: In the present market & competitive world buyer looks for the following things: • Shortest Lead time • Best Quality • Innovation • Minimum Price • Best Delivery Performance Main purpose of G.E is to improve the utilization of 5M’s [Men, Machine, Money , Material & Methods].
Example: BACK YOKE ATTACH & T/S

SNLS w F213 Back yoke attach 0.695 Yoke & T/S Min Folder SIDESEAM ATTACH & T/S HOW GARMENT ENGINEERING CAN BE DONE? The following questions are to be answered to know how G.E can be done:
Is the operation really necessary, can it be eliminated ?
– A Pattern Change – Alteration of seam type – Combining of operations – Fusing – Use of special folders & guides – Use of advanced machineries Can the operation be simplified?
– By changing the seam type
– By remarking & notching – By rounding corners – By using straight seams – By pre positioning parts – By using any guides or folders – Laying up in pairs Can the operation be done more quickly?
– Running off – Eliminating back tacks – Eliminating matching – Reducing the features – Standardizing the parts WHEN SHOULD G.E BE DONE?
Since G.E is a continuous process it must start
with first sample at the development stage to produce production friendly garment.
Who should be involved?
– Designing Department – R&D Department – Industrial Engineering Department – Sampling Department – Production & Planning Department – Quality team What is needed for G.E? – Garment tech pack – Sample of the garment – Buyer Comments – Machine Types – Basics of fabrics – Garment construction knowledge – Operation sequence Process involved in Garment Engineering: C hoose : Operation for which improvement is needed R ecord : The details of job of how it is performed A ssess : Assessing the details by asking W/H questions A lternatives : Consider all the alternatives available for improvement & develop the most suitable one F it : Fitting the best alternative & making T ake Care : Maintaining the technique which is installed by checking continually Put in nut Shell process involved is “CRAAFT” MACHINE CONSIDERATIONS
TYPES OF BEDS: • Flat bed : Basic & most common type with wide space & big parts being handled easily. • Raised bed : Is normally a feature of O/L, Kansai & Flat Lock M/C’s. • Cylinder bed : I s suitable for sewing small round curve area. • Submerged bed : Since handling is very easy & less fatigue is caused because there is much better working area for operator. • Specialized bed : Are designed for special operations.

MAJOR CRITERIAS OF PRODUCT DESIGN:
STANDARDADISATION OF PRODUCTS QUALITY STANDARDS PROVISION FOR USE OF HIGH PRODUCTION MACHINERIES WHENEVER POSSIBLE
MAJOR CRITERIAS OF PROCESS DESIGN:

IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY BY REDUCING WORK CONTENT
INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY BY REDUCING INEFECTIVE TIME
TOTAL WORK CONTENT =Basic Work Content + Excess Time
Where, Basic work content is the minimum time required theoretically to produce one unit of O/P
Excess Time = Time due to defectives + Time due to inefficient
methods
INEFFECTIVE TIME: Is the time for which the worker or the machine or both are idle due to shortcomings of management or the worker. BIG METHODS
