3 Ways of Increasing Garment Production

What is Production?

Production is the final output derived from the raw materials with the use of man (labor), machine and efforts at a particular time. We know that the formula to calculate production is-

Daily Production = Hourly Production by Operator × No. of machines X Working Hour per Day

Say, for example, A polo shirt factory has 200 machines and it works 10 hours/day. Each operator makes an average of 12 pieces per hour. Then the production will be-

Daily Production = 12 × 200 X 10 = 24,000 Pieces

3 Ways of Increasing Garment Production

Now the question is how we can improve this production?

If we notice the production calculation formula, we find three factors. They are-

1. Hourly Production by Operator

2. No. of machines

3. Working Hour per Day

As all of the factors are multiplying factor in the formula, the final production will increase,

If we increase any value of them.

Let’s see practically,

1. If the hourly production rate of operator increase, the final production will increase.

For the above example, if we put hourly product from 12 to 15, then the production will be-

Daily Production = 15 × 200 X 10 = 30,000 Pieces

Which is greater than 24,000

2. If the number of machine increase, the final production will increase.

For the above example, if the number of the machine is 220 instead of 200, then the production will be-

Daily Production = 12 × 220 X 10 = 26,400 Pieces

Which is greater than 24,000

3. If the working hour per day increase, the final production will increase.

For the above example, if the working hour increase from 10 to 11, then the production will be-

Daily Production = 12 × 200 X 11 = 26,400 Pieces

Which is greater than 24,000

The improvement has been shown in the following table

SL.	Production Factors	Before Change (Production)	After Change (Production)	Increased Production
1	Hourly production rate increase 3 pieces	24,000	30,000	6,000
2	Using extra 20 machines	24,000	26,400	2,400
3	Working hour increase 1 hour	24,000	26,400	2,400
