Sewing Room Capacity Capacity planning or production planning is generally done based on sewing capacity. The knowledge of the capacity in other processes is also very essential, if not production planner could fail and will not be able to meet the dead line (Jacob 1988; Schertel 1998). The formula used for calculating available capacity of the sewing line has been given below. Sewing room Capacity per Day= {(No. of machine x daily work hours x 60) – absenteeism %} x Efficiency % (unit in minutes) Monthly Capacity = Daily Capacity X No. of working days in a month The capacity of a production line depends on the average efficiency of the line and operator absenteeism. For example, a factory floor has 5 lines. Factory works for 8 hours day. Number of total …show more content…
In an 8 hours shift day he produces 390 pieces. Operator was idle ‘waiting for work’ for 20 minutes and his machine broke down for 20 minutes in hours shift. Then, the operator’s on-standard efficiency is given by = (390 x 0.55) / {480 – (20 + 20)}*100% = 48.75% 18.8 Determination of efficiency of a production line Similar to the calculation of individual operator efficiency, the efficiency of a production line could also equally vital for an apparel industry (Mannan & Ferdousi 2007). To calculate the efficiency of a line for a day, the following data is needed from the line supervisor in the apparel industry. 1. No. of operators worked in the line in a day 2. Working hours in the line in a day 3. Production in pieces at the end of the day 4. Expected garment SAM for the particular style From the above information, the following factors have to be determined. 1. Total minutes produced by the line: To get total produced minutes multiply production pieces by SAM 2. Total minutes attended by the all operators in the line: Multiply number of operators by daily working hours and convert total hours into total minutes (multiplying by
8. If a coal-burning electrical generating plant burns 2 tons of coal to generate 6000 kWh of electricity, calculate the efficiency of the plant as the ratio of electricity output to fuel energy input (refer to Table 3.4).
In addition, on day 105, the reorder quantity was 13,200. This approach was effective as it increased the number of inventory kits available for production. In total, the company used $2,059,000 to increase its inventory levels. The increased inventory levels and the readjustments of reorder points enabled the factory to increase the number of jobs accepted each day as well as to reduce the number of jobs waiting for kits. In addition, there was a high number of kits queued at station one from day 80 which was accompanied by increased utilization of station one. Besides, we were able to reduce the lead time for all the orders and this enabled the company to increase its revenues.
In today’s operational management arena, there are certain expectations from a managerial aspect that must be met in order to be successful. A comprehensive look at the Space Age Furniture Company will show exactly what the Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) calculations are for this company at present time and then take the information given in order to properly suggest ways to improve the sub-assemblies. In addition, there will be an analysis on the trade-offs between the overtime and inventory costs. A calculation will be made on the new MRP that will improve the base MRP. This paper will also compare and contrast the types of production processing to include the job shop, batch, repetitive, or continuous, and determine which the primary mode of operation should be and exactly why. A detailed description on how management can keep track of the job status and location during production will also be addressed. Finally, there will be a recommendation on they type of changes that need to occur that will be beneficial to the company and at the same time add value to the customer. This paper will conclude with summary of the major points.
= Direct Labor + Direct Materials + Overhead Direct Labor = .185 x 12.76 = 2.36 Direct Materials = 6.44 Overhead: Labor Support OH = 1.11 x .185 x 12.76 = 2.62 Machine Operation OH = (8.99 + 7.61) x .310 = 5.15 Machine Setup OH = (33.76 x 4.2 x 2) / 80 = 3.54 Production Order OH = (114.27 x 2) / 80 = 2.86 Materials Handling OH = (19.42 x 4) / 80 = 0.97 Parts Admin.
The presentation of the material is in dollars only. Overhead is applied to products as a percent of direct labor dollar cost. Factory profit for each year is found by subtracting direct material, direct labor, and direct overhead costs from total sales. The overhead percentage is calculated at the same time budgeting and is applied as a single overhead pool throughout each model year. The consulting company used 435% of direct labor costs in 1987 for their study; the budgeted was actually 437% (OH/DL=107,954/24,682). A similar percentage applies in the following year (109890/25294=434.5%). However in the next two years, after the outsourcing of oil pans and mufflers was enacted, the allocation of overhead in...
For the month of December, our expected demand is 377 units of Double Team (Fries and Nuggets with Drinks). 377 orders would need 28,297.08grams of fries and 18,864.72grams of nuggets; in cooking this, it will consume 12,563.90ml of oil; to make the juice, 4,716.18grams of powdered juice and 6,036.71ounces of water is needed; and 377 cups and 377 straws because 1 unit of Double Team needs 125g of Fries, 50g of Nuggets, 33.3ml of Oil, 12.5g of juice powder, and 16oz of water, 1 straw and 1 cup. In order to meet this demand for the month of September, we must be able to sell at least 16 orders of Double Team per
When measuring the entrance lines to the two parks we collected data on people in groups of five. When measuring in terms of time we started the clock when the first person began the entrance process and stopped it when the fifth person in that same line made it through the gate. We made note of the group’s total time and the amount of males, females, and children (measured by the same criteria as above). We chose to record entrance times in terms of five person groups ...
Another method is forecast demand, which is based on service level via profit margin calculations. Bean will have to consider the contribution margin in case an item is bought vs. the liquidation costs spent if the item is not demanded. To calculate the item’s probability distribution of demand is a critical ratio of under stocking costs that is relative to the sum of under stocking and overstocking costs. This calculation determines at what point it is optimal to hold the stock in order to balance overstocking and under stocking costs. Critical ratio is combined with the corresponding forecast error and the number of items to stock is the product of these two numbers and the frozen
With her story, "Everyday Use," Alice Walker is saying that art should be a living, breathing part of the culture it arose from, rather than a frozen timepiece to be observed from a distance. To make this point, she uses the quilts in her story to symbolize art; and what happens to these quilts represents her theory of art.(thesis)
In the era we are in today society is consumed with the want of new technology not the need. “The study into quilt history is a rapidly growing area of research in American history: domestic life in the 18th-20th centuries; development of the textile industry in Asia, India, Europe and America; the purpose for making quilts; their patterns and style development over time.” Quilting is an art form as seen through history, the perfecting of practical skills and the evolution of the sewing machine which gives us the beautiful quilting art of today.
The "Setup Hr." is derived from dividing the setup (minutes per job, as illustrated in exhibit 6.9) by 60 minutes. Likewise, the hourly capacity of each operation (Rate Pc. Hr.) is solved by dividing 60 minutes by the run (minutes per part, as shown in exhibit 6.9).
Operations – To work out the right layout and work flow process in the company. The manpower resource allocation is also critical in the situation on the right balance of resource to handle the production. If possible, adopt a hybrid model to handle the flexibility in the product nature, make both the production line being able to configure standard and customized so to reduce setup and changeover time and cope with the demands.

Of greater importance, job-order costing system needs to accumulate three types of information which include direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. These factors are highly important essentially because of the significant variations in the products produced. Hence, each product or batch has a job identification number and costs are accumulated by a job number. All the more, job-order costing systems requires detailed accounting information and thus the total cost of all jobs is accumulated in one work-in process inventory control account; details of the cost materials, labor, and overhead for each job are kept in subsidiary records called job-order cost sheets (Edmonds, Tsay, & Olds,
Based on my research, one of the challenges faced by logistic company is capacity forecast. Capacity forecast is a general’s capacity theory that we should know it about warehousing. Warehousing it is very important in this industry where they play an important role to store the goods before its loading and unloading once it arrive at the destination point. The requirement for this phase is its transportation. As an example, the used of mode, carrier and protection class. Furthermore, capacity forecast has its own benefits in logistic. Which is, this solution ensure the logistic, manufacturing and supply chain to work together to the same plan (Byrne, 2011). The logistic industry had faced is, widespread their promotion and to work efficiently on land.
