  • Talking to the Sales Team (Negotiation with garments merchandiser): Before they even start, the factory's engineering team talks to the people who sell the clothes (the "merchandisers"). They discuss what new clothes need to be made, what they're supposed to look like, and what materials are needed. It's like planning what to cook before you go to the grocery store.
  • Checking the Clothes Design (Garments analysis): Once they know what to make, engineers carefully look at the design of the clothes. They figure out how many pieces it has, how it will be sewn, and what steps are involved. This helps them plan the whole making process.
  • Getting Ready Meeting (Make P.P meeting if all the required fabrics, trimmings, and accessories are in-housed): This is a very important meeting! If all the necessary materials like fabric, zippers, buttons, and threads have arrived at the factory, they have a "pre-production" meeting. Everyone involved sits down to make sure everything is ready and to discuss any potential problems or special instructions for making the clothes. It's like a final check before baking a cake, making sure you have all the ingredients and know the recipe.
  • Setting How Many to Make (Production target): The factory decides how many pieces of clothing they need to make by a certain date. This number is set based on how much the factory can actually produce. This helps them meet the delivery deadlines.
  • Arranging the Machines (Set machine layout): They figure out the best way to arrange the sewing machines and other equipment on the factory floor. They want to make sure it's easy for workers to move and for the clothes to flow smoothly from one step to the next.
  • Setting Up the Production Line (Line setting): This is where they actually get the workers and machines ready to start sewing. They make sure each worker knows their specific task and that the sewing machines are set up correctly. The goal is to make sure workers are busy and productive.
  • Making Work Even (Line balancing): Imagine an assembly line. They try to make sure that each worker or workstation takes about the same amount of time to do their part. If one part takes too long, it slows everyone else down. "Line balancing" means making sure the work is spread out evenly so the clothes keep moving smoothly without bottlenecks.
  • Regular Check-ins (Continuous production meeting): As the clothes are being made, the factory team has regular short meetings. This is to catch any problems early on – like a machine breaking down or a quality issue – and fix them quickly.
  • Counting What's Made (Collecting production data): They keep track of how many clothes are being made each day, how much time it's taking, and if there are any defects. This is like keeping score.
  • Writing the Summary (Preparing production report): All that collected information is put together into a report. This report shows how well the production is going.
  • Understanding the Summary (Production report analysis): Someone then looks at the report very carefully. They try to understand what's going well and what needs improvement. Are they making enough clothes? Are there too many mistakes?
  • Giving the Boss the News (Report submitted to the factory manager): Finally, this detailed report is given to the factory manager. The manager uses this information to make important decisions about how to improve things or meet new orders.
