SEWING PROCEDURE
1. PREPARATION STAGE
Line Plan from Production Manager:
The production manager is responsible for creating and providing the line
plan, which details the order of operations, daily targets, and production
timelines.
The sewing department relies on this plan to structure the workflow and
determine how many operators and machines are needed for each specific
task.
Cut Bundles & Accessories:
The cut bundles and related accessories (such as threads, labels, buttons,
zippers, etc.) are provided to the sewing department.
The cut bundles are organized according to the daily production plan and
include the corresponding bundle cards that carry important information
such as style, size, colour, and quantity.
The sewing operators are given their assigned bundles along with the
appropriate materials to start their work.
2. TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM IN SEWING
Overview of Traffic Light System:
The Traffic Light system is a quality control mechanism used to monitor the
performance of the sewing lines. It’s a real-time feedback system where
the status of each line is indicated with a colour—green, yellow, or red—
similar to a traffic light.
This system helps track defects during the sewing process and enables
immediate corrective actions.
Monitoring by Line QC:
The line quality control (QC) team is responsible for monitoring the
production lines using this Traffic Light system.
Every 2 hours, the Line QC checks 7 garments from each operation in the
sewing process to ensure quality standards are being met.
The QC will track the number of defects observed and take appropriate
action based on the findings.
