Analysis of Sewing Operations, Line layout, and SMV Estimation for Woven Shirts and Dress Pants: A Strategic Approach to Enhancing Efficiency.

The apparel industry is changing its manufacturing to new techniques and procedures to boost productivity and maintain consistency with swift changes in customer behavior and fashion trends. This study aims to determine how to improve the process breakdown, line layout, and SMV calculation of woven shirts and dress Pants to increase the efficiency of the sewing process. The study commences by analyzing the sewing process and breaking it downinto its fundamental elements. By carefully analyzing every step, the maingoal of this research is to identify potential bottlenecks and areas ofimprovement from pattern making to final stitching. In addition, the studyclosely monitors the layout of the sewing line, focusing on the importanceof the ergonomic setup. The main benefit of this study is to increase overallefficiency by rearranging machinery, workstations, and personnel andminimizing downtime. The main aspect of the study contains the calculation of standard minute value (SMV). The researchers meticulously measured the SMV for the sewing of woven shirts and dress trousers. The results provide valuable insights into the time and materials required to make each garment. Finally, the research recommends a guideline for boosting efficiency in woven shirts and dress Pants manufacturing and provides pragmatic roadmaps based on true data and industrial best practices. The findings of this study provide some proposals to reduce manufacturing costs and maintain continuous improvement of the sewing floor in the garment industry
