Top 5 Metro Cities Service Level Strategy implementation for ARS orders.

Background: Research Methodology: Analysis:

ARS system is the problem
with Madura Fashion &
Lifestyle. as a result MFL
was not able to deliver the
goods under ARS orders on
time which was affecting
their service level. There
was delay of 4-5 hrs in
Bangalore & 5-6 days in
other cities (Delhi, Mumbai
& Pune). So this project is
about how to overcome this
problem which can improve
their service level.
Objective:
To Speed up the
replenishment of the ARS
orders as a result ARS
orders will get delivered
before 2 pm in Bangalore
on the same day & by 1 pm
in other cities(Bangalore,
Delhi, Mumbai & Pune) on
the next day.

those problems.
Conclusion:
1. The final deliveries in
Bangalore getting done
by 2:00 pm which can be
further reduced to 1:00
pm by things being
tightened at warehouse so
that vehicles can leave by
9:am.
2. For other cities we should
not hand over the goods
to the courier services
instead we should send
those goods through
cargo services and get
them delivered to the
stores with the help of

PROJECT TITLE- IMPLIMENTATION OF PULL SYSTEM IN PARTS SECTION OF SEWING DEPARTMENT OF SHIRT MANUFACTURING USING
UNIT HANDLING SYSTEM
Background:
Garment industries in developing countries are
more focused on sourcing of raw material and
minimizing delivery cost than labor productivity Literature study and Problem because of that the company was holding average WIP
because of the availability of cheap labor. Due to
this, labor productivity is lower in developing
countries than in the developed ones. Similarly,
the cost of fabric is a major part of the garment so
there seems to be great need for improvement in
this sector. Even in developing countries the CAD
and CAM system for fabric cutting has been
implemented to save fabric. Now the worry is
about labor productivity and making production
flexible; because the fashion industry is highly
volatile and if the orders are not fulfilled on time,
the fear for losing business is real.
Even today, industries are getting the same or more
volumes (orders), but the number of styles they
have to handle has increased drastically. Earlier
industries were getting bulk order so there is no
need to worry; if the production line was set for the
first time it would run for a month or at least a
week or two. But nowadays due to small order
quantities and complex designs, the garment
industry has to produce multiple style. even
within a day; this needs higher flexibility in
volume and style change over. Industries have
been running in a traditional way for years and are
rigid to change. Now the time has come to struggle
with global market demand and niche market in
garment industries if they want to run it further.
The best way to cope with all these challenges is
the implementation of lean manufacturing. This
will serve our purpose of flexibility and save a
lot of money by reducing production lead time,
reducing the inventory, increasing productivity,
and by reducing rework.

Process Re-Engineering Of Warehouse, Cutting And CAD Department To Optimize Fabric Utilization By
Identifying And Implementing Cad Software

Background: Research Methodology: Analysis:

In the recent years we witness
continuous increasing of the
price of textile materials, so
any higher percentage of
utilization of materials
achieved directly affects the
overall production costs.
Although marker planning is
always the major determinant
of material utilization, it is also
important to plan and control
the spreading process carefully
in order to minimize the
spreading loss.
Thus, to improve the existing
manual cut order planning
process and to plan rolls for
each lay the company has to
make decision on choosing
from the whole range of
software solutions available
and implement it in the CAD
department.

IMPLEMENTATION OF QUICK CHANGE OVER AND REDUCTION OF CHANGE OVER TIME USING SMED
Background:
Production efficiency is the
deciding factor for
manufacturing cost & lead
time. Factories are struggling
to improve the efficiencies due
to short order quantities. To
face high competition in the
industry, all Garments are
implementing lean
manufacturing principles all
over their production and pre-
production process to
minimize cost by eliminating
waste wherever possible in the
entire process. Long
changeover time is one of the
areas identified, which leads to
low production efficiency,
higher lead times than quoted,
high WIP levels & unexpected
OT / air freight at factory cost.
Identification of the actual
changeover time & hidden
waste and their root causes,
will definitely help to reduce
the lead-time through quick
changeovertime.

best solution to do this is to
implement a lean tool which is
very new to this industry. As
the operators have no
knowledge about the WIP,
which leads to quality issues,
missing parts, size mixing and
less productivity etc, we need
to control it. The suitable tool
to control this is the KANBAN
system, which is introduced by

plant. As the product styles are
almost similar and have
enough order quantity
implementing a lean tool like
KANBAN will give best results.

Psycho-Social analysis of garment fit on female consumer
Background:
Whenever a female consumers
find garment-fitproblems as a
result of their body shape, an
emotional experience may result
due to the failure to attain the
personal values they are aiming to
achieve. Very little research has
been conducted in India focusing
on this shopping experience of
ready-to-wear garment fit.
This study was conducted to
determine the personal values
attributed to garment fit & body
shapes.
This study usedCognitive appraisal

ends chain theory approach with
the application of the hard
laddering technique.
It is extremely important for India
clothing brands consider the
various body shapes in their
garment design and attempt to
understand the specific needs of
their target market if they want to
be successful.
Objective:
Determine the emotions of
female consumer resulting
from the perceptions of
garment fit in relation to their
perceived body shape.
Determine the Problems
encountered in ready to wear
garments and their emotional
impact for female consumers.

FAILURE MODES & EFFECTS ANALYSIS (FMEA):A PRACTICAL APPLICATION FOR
APPAREL INDUSTRY
Background:
The manufacturing efficiencies
of the apparel units in
Northern India range between
28% and 45%.Individual
technical efficiency varies with
firm-specific characteristics
such as size and age.More time
is taken per piece in the
finishing department with
unacceptable high levels of
repair due to lack of practically
applicable effective quality
tools.Logical extrapolation of
an effective quality control tool
like FMEA is likely to omit
these topical factors and at the
same time help improve the
efficiency of apparel
manufacturing units.
Though FMEA has been highly
successful in automobile
industry but its principles can
find applicability in apparel
industry. Elimination of process
inefficiencies through FMEA
adoption can bring about
improvement in systems;
eliminate production
scheduling and line balancing.
Objective:
To apply FMEA tools for Failure modes, quality, RPN, efficiency,
assessment, prioritization, and product reliability
correction of failure modes in
the apparel industry for
improving product reliability.

Analysis:
The data collected over the study
period from 7.2.15 - 3.5.15 shows
the overall production defects to be
38.45% with most of the defects
originating from sewing (44.5%)
and washing (31.3%) sections. The
six major failure modes in sewing
sections were puckering (19.7%),
measurement out of tolerance
(17.6%), roping (17.4%), uneven
neck/placket/waist band (10.6%),
broken stitch (7.4%), & wrong label
attachment/ label missing (5.6%)
Risk prioritization according to
occurance, severity and
detectability criteria showed
measurement out of tolerance
followed by puckering and roping
to be the most affective areas.
Based on the risk prioritization,
effective corrective actions are
recommended for implementation
and reassessment.
Conclusion:
The application of this study is likely
to improve the process
