While there is pressure (from buyers), inclination (within self to do better) and a heightened aspiration among apparel manufacturers to use Industrial Engineering (IE) like other more industrialized sectors, there is no specific book as such dealing with IE in relation to apparel manufacturing. The existing books that are already written on IE possess academic rigour and generic functions applicable across industries, thus making it difficult for the practitioners to refer and clear discrete doubts related to apparel manufacturing. Undoubtedly, work study is the centrepiece of Industrial Engineering; however apart from work study, industrial engineers in apparel industry are also supposed to perform various other functions like preparing operation breakdown and operation flow chart, selecting machine type and attachment and workaids, planning machine layout for maximizing unidirectional material movement, optimising inventory and storage space and maintaining workplace health and safety. These are some of the areas that often lack significant attention. This practitioner’s handbook is an amalgamation of theory and practices, including steps of implementation and common mistakes. A balanced approached is taken to make it equally meaningful and useful for the academics as well as the industry. A unique section titled “industry practices” is incorporated at the end of each chapter which shares the typical practices, constraints and benefits accrued by the industry, which will give meaningful insight to the readers and help them relate theory with actual practice.

The garment manufacturing industry faces many global challenges due to various factors including competition, increased production costs, less productivity/efficiency and labor attribution. So, there is a need to focus and concentrate on identifying the real issues, taking corrective actions suited to the specific industrial centre of the unit, empowering the technical and managerial staff by enhancing their knowledge and ability, analysing orders efficiently and deciding whether actions are viable for the company. Industrial engineering in apparel production reviews the techniques for internal correction and openness for a knowledge/technology approach that needs to be built into the mind of the faculties to be upgraded as system run, rather than people run. The author emphasizes that the industrial engineering concept needs to be imparted to the facilities to increase productivity. With its highly distinguished author, Industrial engineering in apparel production is a valuable reference for students, researchers, industrialists, academics and professionals in the clothing and textile industry.

This book is written for you if you want to learn the industrial engineering basics, about the necessary tools for engineers and activities done by industrial engineers. This book is for you if you want to work as an industrial engineer in a garment factory.By learning industrial engineers subject, you can bring changes and bring improvement in the factory where you are working and where you will be working.An engineering degree is not necessary to improve a factory's productivity and reducing the manufacturing cost. What is required is the right attitude. If you allow yourself to learn industrial engineering tools, you can learn most of them in one month. Then you can practice these IE tools and IE activities in the next 3 months. After that, you are ready for serving the apparel manufacturing industry. You can make things better in a garment factory.You need to find ways of doing things in a better way - which in turn can bring a huge improvement. If you can improve line efficiency by 1% each week, monthly efficiency improvement will be 4%. In a factory, to bring measurable improvement you need to fight against the odds, resistance from the line supervisor, and non-acceptance of new things and new concepts. To fight against these odds, you need to be strong within yourself through being more knowledgeable, logical, analytical, and proactive.This book will enrich your knowledge. The how-to guide part will increase your confidence in finding solutions and answers to the odd questions at the workplace.

The era of mass manufacturing of clothing and other textile products is coming to an end; what is emerging is a post-industrial production system that is able to achieve the goal of mass-customised, low volume production, where the conventional borders between product design, production and user are beginning to merge. To continue developing knowledge on how to design better products and services, we need to design better clothing manufacturing processes grounded in science, technology, and management to help the clothing industry to compete more effectively. Design of clothing manufacturing processes reviews key issues in the design of more rapid, integrated and flexible clothing manufacturing processes.The eight chapters of the book provide a detailed coverage of the design of clothing manufacturing processes using a systematic approach to planning, scheduling and control. The book starts with an overview of standardised clothing classification systems and terminologies for individual clothing types. Chapter 2 explores the development of standardised sizing systems. Chapter 3 reviews the key issues in the development of a garment collection. Chapters 4 to 7 discuss particular aspects of clothing production, ranging from planning and organization to monitoring and control. Finally, chapter 8 provides an overview of common quality requirements for clothing textile materials.Design of clothing manufacturing processes is intended for R&D managers, researchers, technologists and designers throughout the clothing industry, as well as academic researchers in the field of clothing design, engineering and other aspects of clothing production. - Considers in detail the design of sizing and classification systems - Discusses the planning required in all aspects of clothing production from design and pattern making to manufacture - Overviews the management of clothing production and material quality requirements

The foremost and the most important step of establishing a business is setting up a factory. While designing of a factory layout has been nowadays handed over to professional architects, the apparel manufacturers must have a basic knowledge of what a ‘good’ factory layout actually means. A good factory layout offers minimum transportation time and flexibility with no back and forth motion. This series is a one-stop solution for all the factors to be considered, apart from the checklist, and the ways to maximum optimise the factory along with case studies of apparel manufacturing plant layouts in India.
