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 |

Feedback:
- Manual operations need to be reduced.
- Before the changeover, required m/c with quality must be ensured.
- Need to train operator & improve skill.
- Unit-01 need 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%
- 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.
