Project Title:

The role and steps, which are carried out by PPC (Production Planning & Control) for a specific order in Garment Manufacturing Industry.

Description

Explain each step that is followed by PPC Department from beginning to the completion of the order. During the planning please consider the followings details:

Garment type • Select any specific garment (prefer the basic garment e.g. Polo shirt, 5-pocket jeans etc).

• Calculation for the consumption of raw material depends on the selection of garment.

• In order to make the costing sheet, please visit the market for price quotation.

Total order quantity 20000

Delivery Within 45 day (for production)

Available capacity Consider the following capacity per day during Planning

• Cutting 1000 basic garment

• Stitching machine 300 m/cs

• Washing 600 garments

• Finishing 700 basic garment

All the departments are running at 80% efficiency.

Garment manufacturing is the mass assembling of clothing. Manufacturing garments requires a lot of planning and awareness of the schedule. The coordination of contractors and their rightness plays a huge role in meeting deadlines for the production. In most of cases the production of garments is very time responsive in order to ship goods to stores for the forthcoming season. Having a late order can effect poorly on the business.

To create a production schedule, start from the end date and work backwards in order to establish a schedule that suits the requirements. Give a margin of a week or two to allow for any delay in the progression.

My Garment:

I selected a knit T. shirt for this project.

Steps followed by PPC department:

On industrial basis there are ...

... middle of paper ...

...1 Unit 3 approx.

7 Price Tags 1 Unit 2 approx.

8 Poly bags 1 Unit 1 approx.

9 Kimble 1 Unit 0.5 approx.

Total Cost 127.96

*UOM - Unit of measure

Now for each item merchants normally purchased extra quantity of inventory (from 2% to 7%) as buffer. This surplus cost due to extra purchase of material is added into the garment costing.

BASIC CAPACITY CALCULATIONS

• In the clothing industry, most companies still work to standard minutes, which is the calculated or measured average time to produce a garment. A fundamental calculation may be as follows:

• 8 working hours per day = 8x 60=480 minutes

• 10 operators per team

• Capacity = 8x60x10=4800 minutes per day

• Standard Minutes for T-shirt = 10 std min @ 80% efficiency =

4800/10 = 480 pieces per day

• 480x42=20160

• So the order will be ready for delivery in almost 42 days.

    2) Knowing the selling price of the item. And from the first two pieces of data Bean is then able to calculate the profit margin generated from each individual item. Thus, profit margin = selling price – cost of item also relates to the costs of under stocking. 3) Knowing the liquidation cost of an item to calculate the costs of overstocking. With these calculations, Bean can use these methods mentioned in Q1 to decide what the final amount of items to stock are. Furthermore, Bean will need to compare the costs associated with under stocking relative to the sum of under stocking plus overstocking inventory. However, the costs of under stocking should not only include short terms losses, i.e. loss of sale for that item at that time, but also the loss of future business due to customer dissatisfaction. Bean must also consider that if a particular item is not in stock that entire purchase order may be cancelled. Costs of overstocking should include costs to hold inventory and consider that these might change if the salvage value of a product leftover is depended upon the number of units remaining at the end of the season. If there is a lot of product leftover, then the liquidation value might decrease and items will be transferred to next

    Inventory management is a method through, which a business handles tangible resources and materials to ensure availability of resources for use. It is a collection of interdisciplinary processes including a full circle from the demand forecasting, supply chain management, inventory control and reverse logistics. Inventory management is the optimization of inventories of manufactured goods, work in progress, and raw materials. According to Doucette (2001) inventory management can be challenging at times; however, the need for effective inventory management is largely seeing more as a necessity than a mere trend when customer satisfaction and service have become a prime reason for a business to stand apart from its competition. For example, Wal-Mart’s inventory management is one of the biggest contributors to the success of the company;

  • The Benefits Of Supply Chain

    This is the activity carried out by organizations that own production sites, and their performance has a major impact on product cost, quality, speed of delivery and delivery reliability, and flexibility [8]. As it is quite an important part of the supply chain, production needs to be measured and continuously improved. Suitable metrics for the production level are as follows. Order lead-time, the total order cycle time, called order to delivery cycle time, refers to the time elapsed in between the receipt of customer order until the delivery of finished goods to the customer. The reduction in order cycle time leads to reduction in supply chain response time, and as such is an important performance measure and source of competitive advantage [9]. It directly interacts with customer service in determining competitiveness. Range of product and services: According to [8] a plant that manufactures a broad product range is likely to introduce new products more slowly than plants with a narrow product range. Plants that can manufacture a wide range of products are likely to perform less well in the areas of value added per employee, speed and delivery reliability. This clearly suggests that product range affects supply chain performance. Effectiveness of scheduling techniques is another important measure of supply chain effectiveness. Scheduling refers to the time or date on or by which
