What is RFT, RFT Factors and Calculation in Apparel Industry

  By ,

What does Right First Time (RFT) Mean?

Right First Time is lean tools that mean doing the thing right in the first time which can remove eliminate or repair and defects producing in garments manufacturing. RFT percent is one of the key performance indicator tools in Garments quality control. In this article, we will discuss What is RFT, RFT Factors and Calculation in Apparel Industry.

What is RFT, RFT Factors and Calculation in Apparel Industry

What is RFT, RFT Factors and Calculation in Apparel Industry

Advantages/Benefits/Importance of Producing Right the First time

  1. Reduce cost and penalty of quality failure
  2. Improve quality and productivity
  3. Remove re-work and repairing
  4. Save time and energy
  5. Save defects rectification cost
  6. Improve work accuracy

RFT calculation for Cutting, sewing, finishing, and Quality Control

Right First Time = (Number of passed goods or Lot / Number of total produced Garments or Lot) x 100

For example, If 200 pcs Garments is produced in the sewing section, found 13 pcs defect by QC then first pass quantity is =(200-13)= 187 pcs.

So, Sewing RFT will be = (187/200*100) % = 93.5%

Date RFT Defect %
4/11/2017 95.67% 4.33%
5/11/2017 96.54% 3.46%
6/11/2017 96.57% 3.43%
7/11/2017 95.80% 4.20%
8/11/2017 96.20% 3.80%
9/11/2017 96.74% 3.26%

Actual and Target RFT

Date Actual RFT Target RFT Total Check Quantity
1-Jul 93.40% 96% 2500
2-Jul 93.50% 96% 2600
3-Jul 93.10% 96% 2400
4-Jul 94.20% 96% 3000
5-Jul 94.60% 96% 3500
6-Jul 93.50% 96% 2500

RFT Key Factor Areas of Garments Manufacturing

There may have others area you need to count RFT, I am giving here what I know. Surely RFT is a performance measuring tool of quality control.

  1. Cutting panels quality
  2. Sewing output garments quality
  3. Finishing packed garments quality
  4. Final Audit RFT.

What is WIP, WIP Calculation, Reducing, Reporting in Garments Manufacturing

What is WIP? What does WIP mean in Apparel Industry? WIP means Work In-progress or In-process, an inventory system in the Garments manufacturing process in cutting, sewing and finishing but not for raw materials warehouse or finished goods warehouse. WIP for manufacturing floor the quantity between input and output what backlogged in production. In this article we will see the details of What is WIP, WIP Calculation, Reducing, Reporting in Garments Manufacturing.

What is WIP, WIP Calculation, Reducing, Reporting in Garments Manufacturing

WIP Calculation of Cutting, sewing, Washing, and Finishing

  • Cutting WIP = Total cut quantity – Total quantity inputted to sewing section

For example, Cutting section cut total 10,000 pieces for style# 5572819 and 7520 pieces have been inputted to the sewing department, then cutting room WIP will be =(10,000-7520) =2480 pieces.

  • Sewing Line WIP = Total pieces (GMTS Qty) inputted to the line – Total number of garments sewing output completed

For example, if a sewing Line totals 7520 pieces have been got input for style#5572819 and total 3500 pieces are produced from the line. Sewing line WIP is (7520-3500) = 4020 pieces.

Limiting washing WIP is very much important because most factories don’t have own washing facility. So they have to send Garments to another factory for washing. Delaying in washing can effect on time delivery.

  • Washing WIP= Total Garments sent to washing – Total Garments received from washing

Finishing, the last stage of Garments manufacturing, garments manufacturer challenge limiting washing and finishing WIP. Every factory especially follows up washing and finishing WIP to maintain on-time delivery to the customer.

  • Finishing sections WIP = Total Garments received from washing – Total packed quantity

WIP Report Format for the Apparel Industry

It is very easy reporting WIP, doesn’t need to make a format for checking WIP, you can keep WIP calculation in a production report. Here excel reporting format uploaded to download for all of you.

Take Better Financing Decision

The most important thing is to take a better financing decision as every financing decision both for borrowing and lending is related to cost and benefit. A better financing decision will bring financial success which is expected by every individual.

Proper Understanding of Time Value of Money

If you actually want to know finance then you must know the concept of time value of money that with the time passes the value of your money is decreased. So, to ensure value maximization you are to invest in a way which increases the net present value of your wealth.

Aware of Valuation of Financial Resources

As an investor of both money and capital market, please make sure that you do proper valuation otherwise you may lose your valuable financial resources. That’s why every investor needs to be aware of valuation of financial resources or instruments.

The requirement of Evaluation of Investment Opportunities

The proper understanding of requirement of evaluation of investment opportunities will induce you to do capital budgeting (NPV, IRR, PBP, MIRR, PI etc.). Both for long-term and short-term investment opportunities need to be evaluated, especially for long-term investment opportunities.

Able to Analyze Each and Every Opportunity Cost

Every decision whatever we are taking in our daily life we forgo other opportunities, so it is required to do an evaluation of opportunity cost and invest where your opportunity cost is lower. The investment decision is actually dependent on the behavior of investors.

You need to learn finance because investors always intention are to ensure maximize their return on their investment. Here, the maximum return will increase the value of your asset.

Whenever you plan for the collection of funds you may find several short terms or long-term sources. If you have adequate knowledge of financing then you will be able to do a deep analysis of sources of funds. But one thing is you must know financing concepts and how it works.

Know How to Get Your Cost of Capital and Analyze it

Whatever the amount of capital, is not free of cost. Every capital has cost, so before taking an investment decision you have to calculate and analyze the cost of capital but before that, you must know the finance. That’s why there is huge importance in learning financing.

Understand the Requirement of Forming a Portfolio

After knowing finance properly, you must know what is portfolio and why we form a portfolio. A portfolio is a set of a different mixture of investment where both risk-free and risky investment is there, the main purpose is to decrease the overall risk of investment. If you learn finance then you must know how to form portfolio both for individuals and organizations.
