INTRODUCTION Production systems An apparel production system is an integration of material handling‚ production processes‚ personnel and equipment that directs workflow and generates finished products. Three types of production systems commonly used to mass produce apparels are: * Progressive bundle system * Unit production system * Modular production system Each system requires an appropriate management philosophy‚ material handling methods‚ floor layout and employee training.

Executive Summary: In order to make their plant globally competitive‚ American Connector Company’s Sunnyvale facility needs to improve on production‚ process‚ quality control and inventory control. They should optimize the production line to smoothen the process flow‚ increase the yield and reduce overall costs. They need to analyse and standardize their product mix. Also‚ schedule optimization will go a long way to minimize start-up and end costs and to avoid wastage. Work in process inventory

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) An overview of MRP Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is a software based production planning and inventory control system used to manage manufacturing processes. Although it is not common nowadays‚ it is possible to conduct MRP by hand as well. Is a computer based information system that translates the finished product requirements of the master schedule into time- phased requirements for subassemblies‚ component parts and raw materials‚ working backward

creating world-class standards in design‚ materials‚ and management. What is often overlooked is the attempt to understand how the Japanese industry succeeds at the services that support the manufacturing process (Krajewski et al‚ 1987: 40). Within the production field‚ the Kanban process is the most significant of these services. The concept of time-based management is nothing new for managers outside of Japan and has been in practice for many years. However‚ the Kanban process involves more than just in

diminishing returns only applies in the Short Run‚ when only one factor of production is variable and can be increased. The other factors of production are fixed. Thus as the variable factor of production is increased the marginal product of that factor will rise at first‚ but will at some point begin to fall. Returns to scale can only occur when no factors of production are fixed. If the quantities of all of the factors of production are increased‚ then output will also increase. However‚ the amount by

for every firm or industry to balance their production line or assembly line so that there is an even flow of production units form one work station to the next. In order to reduce cost of production it is necessary to avoid idleness of machines and with it‚ the labour‚ well-balanced lines improve labour work. The introduction of automation in industries or production firm brought so much more improvement in the accuracy‚ precision and quality in production. This paper presentation explains the question

Explain the beginning of sewing machine. When fashion began with sewing machine mass production started in the industry. Without high technical mass production is not possible at all. Mass production reached the fashion to everyone so that in 1829 a French tailor named “Thimmoner” made a wooden ‘Chain Stitch Machine’. An American developed a patent chain stitch machine called ‘Walter Hunt’. Singer machine introduced to market 1851. Singer machine was sold by very high rate and it made the record
