Skilled Operator Vs Advanced Sewing Machine, What is More Important in Garments Industry?

Increasing productivity in a clothing manufacturing unit can be accomplished by either boosting the skill level of the operators or by purchasing an advanced automatic/semi-automatic sewing machine, according to industry professionals. As a result, there are two possibilities. The question is, which one can be chosen for manufacturing facility?

We will conduct a comparison and can decide which one can be better. Simply put, we'll go with the option that's most important to us while also being the most economical.

An advanced automated machine could be -
✔ Equipped with automated thread cutter
✔ A sewing machine that can do a specific stitching process without the need for human assistance

Here are a few points to consider while contrasting the two.
The cost of purchasing new machines is a one-time expenditure and also have the cost of maintenance. However, when we hire a new employee, we must pay her on a monthly basis.

This means that an operator can be highly skilled in one sort of machine while being a novice at another.

When it comes to specialized processes, a high-tech machine can help you increase your productivity. However, keep in mind that most of the time, unique machines are not completely utilized due to differences in style and order volume.

After receiving training, a sewing machine operator can operate all types of sewing machines; nevertheless, with a single machine, it is not possible to make a complete garment.

It is possible to boost production by adding more automated machines, but it is not possible to raise labor productivity in this method.

Both sewing machines and skilled workers are essential to a company's success. What really matters is how we use our resources.
