Introduction: Denim Jeans pant is renowned for being extremely trendy men's
fashion item. Even without jeans, a young man can't think of a single day. It is also
called denim pants because they are made from denim fabric. People also like to call it 5

Table - 1: Operation Breakdown of 5 Pocket Denim jeans pant.

From the above table, we get operation breakdown and total cycle time. We also
estimate each operation production target which helps us line balancing and preparing
machine layout.

SMV calculation of a 5 Pocket Denim jeans pant: 

Problem: From the above table, we find total cycle time is 15.73 minute, suppose the
performance rating of all operator is 80% for Denim jeans pant. Now, Find out the SMV
for that Denim jeans pant. 

Solution: 

We know,

SMV = Basic time + Allowance

          = (Cycle time × Rating) + (Bundle allowances + machine and personal allowances)
          = (15.73× 0.80) + (Bundle allowances + machine and personal allowances)
          = 12.30 + ( 12.30 × 10%)+ (12.30× 20%)
          = 12.30+ 1.23 + 2.46
          = 15.99

So, we find out SMV for that Denim jeans pant is 15.99 minute.

Production target calculation of a Denim jeans pant:

Problem: We find SMV for that 5 Pocket Denim jeans pant is 15.99 minute.
Suppose, No. of worker of that line is 64, the efficiency of that line 80%.  Find out the
production target per day of that 5 Pocket Denim jeans pant in one sewing line.

Solution: 

Here,
SMV = 15.99 Minute.
No. of worker = 64.
Line efficiency = 80% = 0.80
We know, Total working hour in a day = 8 hr.

Now, 

Production Target = {(Total manpower per line × Total working min per day )/
S.M.V.} × Efficiency
                                  = { (64 × 8 × 60) / 15.99 } × 0.80
                                  = 1536.96~ 1537
                                  = 1537 pieces.

So, Daily production target = 1537 pieces in one sewing line

and Hourly production target = 1537 / 8

                                                       = 192.125~ 192 pieces / hr.
                                                       = 192 Pieces/hr in one sewing line.

Operation Bulletin of Ladies Sports Bra with

Machine Layout Plan
- Apparel, Operation Bulletin
Introduction: A bra, brassiere short is a shape-fitting undergarment designed to
support and cover the breasts of the wearer. Bras are made for a variety of purposes,
including increasing the breast size of a woman, producing cleavage or other cosmetic,
style or practical requirements.

When women work out, more pressure and impacts are put on their breasts than during
their daily activities. The movement and bouncing of women's breasts can create a force
of up to 5 times their actual weight. Wearing a sports bra provides them the support
and comfort they need to do physical activity.

Generally, a machine layout plan is made by following an operation breakdown.

Because from an operation breakdown, we get the proper idea about which part will join
one after another and select the machine for that operation. We have also known how
many machine and workers need for each operation from the machine layout plan.

Operation Bulletin of a Leggings: Operation bulletin of a Leggings has divided

into 3 parts;

1. Sewing and production data.

2. Machine requisition data.
3. Manpower requisition data. 
1. Sewing and production data: In sewing data included SMV of Sewing and
manual operation, production target per hour at 80%, 90%, and 100% efficiency.
