SMV and Efficiency Variance Report of Marketing VS Production of Apparel Industry

Report Objective:
1. To find out SMV & Efficiency variance between Marketing & Production 
2. To analyze the root causes of variation
3. To find out a solution to improve

Reason of SMV Variation

Production Unit	Item/Option	Reason of SMV Variation
Unit-01	Round Neck T-Shirt	1. SMV reduces because of Label make process elimination, i/o compound label added
Unit-01	V Neck T-Shirt	1. SMV reduces because of Label make process elimination, i/o compound label added
Unit-01	Short Pant	1. SMV increases because of Label make process added, I/o compound label
“	“	2. Achieve SMV more than Marketing SMV because of unskilled Kansai machine operator & rented Kansai m/c.
Unit-02	Round Neck T-Shirt (Solid)	1. SMV increases because of using excess manual operations ( Exp: Front & back part match, sleeve & body match, after sleeve join, side seam & before sleeve, bottom hem  garments arrangement)
Unit-01	V Neck T-Shirt (Stripe)	1. SMV increases because of using excess manual operations ( Exp: Front & back part match, sleeve & body match, after sleeve join, side seam & before sleeve, bottom hem  garments arrangement. Neck rib cut in sewing line i/o cutting section.)
Unit-02	V Neck T-Shirt (Stripe)	1. SMV increases because of using excess manual operations ( Exp: Front & back part match, sleeve & body match, after sleeve join, side seam & before sleeve, bottom hem  garments arrangement. Neck rib cut in sewing line i/o cutting section.)
Unit-01	Short Pant (Solid)	1. SMV increases because of Label make process added, I/s compound label
“	“	2. Achieve SMV more than Marketing SMV because of unskilled Kansai machine operator & rented Kansai m/c.
Unit-01	Short Pant (Stripe)	1. SMV increases because of Label make process added, I/s compound label
“	“	2. Achieve SMV more than Marketing SMV because of unskilled Kansai machine operator & rented Kansai m/c.

Reason of Efficiency Variation

Sl No.	Style	Production Unit	Item/Option	Reason of Efficiency Variation
1	KYLIE  SL-SET	Unit-01	Round Neck T-Shirt	1. Production Manpower used more than Layout target Manpower
“	“	“	“	2. Frequent line layout change
“	“	Unit-01	V Neck T-Shirt	1. Production Manpower used more than Layout target Manpower
“	“	“	“	2. Frequent line layout change
“	“	Unit-01	Short Pant	1. Production Manpower used more than Layout target Manpower
“	“	“	“	2. Frequent line layout change
“	“	“	“	3. Rented low-quality m/c
“	“	“	“	4. Unskilled Kansai machine Operator
2	KYLIE N-SLIP	Unit-02	Round Neck T-Shirt (Solid)	1. Production Manpower used more than Layout target Manpower but achieved efficiency
“	“	Unit-01	V Neck T-Shirt (Stripe)	1. Production Manpower used more than Layout target Manpower
“	“	Unit-02	V Neck T-Shirt (Stripe)	1. Production Manpower used more than Layout target Manpower but achieved efficiency
3	KYLIE 2PK SHORTS	Unit-01	Short Pant (Solid)	1. Production Manpower used more than Layout target Manpower
“	“	“	“	2. Frequent line layout change
“	“	“	“	3. Rented low-quality m/c
“	“	“	“	4. Unskilled Kansai machine Operator
“	“	Unit-01	Short Pant (Stripe)	1. Production Manpower used more than Layout target Manpower
“	“	“	“	2. Frequent line layout change
“	“	“	“	3. Rented low-quality m/c
“	“	“	“	4. Unskilled Kansai machine Operator

Feedback:

1. Manual operations need to be reduced.
2. Before the changeover, required m/c with quality must be ensured.
3. Need to train operator & improve skill.
4. Unit-01 needs to improve more by reducing helping operations (Exp: KYLIE N-SLIP V neck T-shirt Stripe).Unit-01 achieved efficiency 36% & Unit-02 achieved efficiency 51%
5. Style-wise big volume sewing quantity but short time running in several lines, that`s why line average efficiency reduces. During line planning, this factor should be considered.
