Man Power Utilization – Method One:
In cutting section 8 man use for 600 cm length and 176cm width lay spread.
Here avg.40.39 sec use for 1lay spread.
In spreading time cutter man cut fabric edge, gather and throughing time is avg. 18.68 sec
When cutter man cut fabric lay within this cutting time all worker finished their work.
All worker waiting avg. 9.09sec after lay giving.
This waiting time is fabric gathering and throughing time for lay cutting man.
So 9.09 sec is non productive time for 7 worker.
I mean 7 worker use for lay spreading place of 8 worker.
Then worker can not wait for work. Non productive time will be less.
1 worker will reduction in this process is possible.
Man Power Utilization – Method One
Result: 1 man power reduce. Cost Reduction: 6000 taka per month
Man Power Utilization – Method Two:
In cutting section 8 man use for manual fabric spread. And 6 man use for auto spreading.
When fabric is spreading by machine then workers use pipe for spread uniformly on table.
For using pipe less time need for spreading.
If we use pipe for manual method then less time required for spreading.
And less man power required 6 person use place of 8 person.
Because 5 person use pipe for uniform spread and 1 for lay band knife cloth cutting machine.
Man Power Utilization – Reduction
Result: 2 man power reduce. Cost Reduce: 2*6000tk=12000tk per month
Band knife cloth cutting machine can applied for the above band saw safety rules

Example of some machines are – Block Printing Machine, Roller Printing Machine, Screen Printing Machine, Flat-Screen Printing Machine, Rotary Printing Machine, Transfer Printing Machine, Stencil Printing Machine, Digital Printing Machine, Batik Printing Machine etc.
Marking is done on printing machine bed for correct and accurate placement. Cut parts are placed on the m/c bed and screen is placed on top of cut parts.Prepared emulsion in form of paste is poured over the screen and is squeezed with help of roller or squeegee. Emulsion passes through screen and is fixed on the cut parts thus printing is done on cut parts.
Hand Curing : After printing when cut parts are removed from machine Manual hand curing is done with the help of a dryer. This is done to dry the print so that it does not spread out.
Machine Curing: Temperature and run time of curing machine is adjusted according to nature of fabric Then cut parts are placed on the conveyer belt of curing machine and is passed through thus the print is completely dried up and printing is over.
Pilot Run and Bulk Production: After Order confirmation Bulk Production starts on planned date. Work stations are defined samples and mock-ups are kept for reference. Hourly Targets are given by IE dept at the time of Bulk Production. Same printing recipe is used which was developed at sampling stage.
The first 50 pcs are the pilot run samples which after sewing are sent for washing and after wash garments are reviewed. If after wash print quality is not ok then modification is done in recipe and recipe is finalized accordingly and we proceed with bulk production.
Quality Assurance: Approved Mock-ups are visually displayed in printing dept for reference. Marking is done on digital textile printing machine for correct print placement.Operators are being trained by supervisors and technicians. Operators have also been trained for self checking the pcs to ensure 100% quality. Recipe is written into local language Bangla which is best understood by the Supervisors and Operators.
