Track: Production Planning and Control
Abstract
Total lead time of complete readymade garments depends on the sum of individual processing lead time such as spinning, knitting, dyeing, finishing, all over printing, cutting, screen printing, embroidery, sewing, washing, packaging etc. In this work, process of receiving of input to delivery of output of Screen Printing Industry is studied. Quality Control Circle approach is used to find out the possible causes for which print delay of quality printing happens. Total Quality Management tools are applied to modify the working process which results significant reduction of lead time inside the factory which is applicable for all screen printing processes of RMG sector. Effect of reducing printing lead time is calculated in terms of monetary value for validation of the implementation of developed model.
