Bottle Necks
• Collar making and attachment is one of the critical operation, it takes more time due to
interlining and number of stitches involved in it.
• Thread – if good quality of thread is not used than it will lead to more breakdown.
• Needle – if high quality of stainless steel is not used than it will lead to more breakdowns.
• Button hole and button stitching takes more time.
• Moving of semi-finished shirt from one sewing machine to another, from one operation
to another takes more time.
• Worker being flooded with overload of work would not able to complete the operation.
• Improper tensions leads to puckering.
Suggestion
• Thread to be used should be 2 ply yarns with good strength.
• The needle used should be high strength steel.
• Tensioning device should be maintained and oiled properly.

• Fabric fastness properties should be considered before washing.
