Sewing Division for Garments industry

Case Study on Sewing Division

These issues can significantly impact a factory’s overall performance, leading to:

Inaccurate data entry caused discrepancies and delays in identifying production issues.
Lack of real-time data made it challenging to pinpoint bottlenecks and optimize workflow.
Repetitive motions and awkward postures could increase the risk of MSDs among sewing machine operators.
Discomfort and fatigue can negatively impact worker performance.
Manual oversight might not catch potential safety hazards immediately.
Sewing defects such as uneven seams, loose threads, and stitching irregularities resulted in high rates of rework and rejection.

Sewing defects such as uneven seams, loose threads, and stitching irregularities resulted in high rates of rework and rejection.
Manual sewing processes and outdated machinery contributed to low productivity levels and inefficient use of labor resources.
The existing workflow within the Sewing Division was manual and lacked synchronization.
