 What is Work Study?
 
Work study is a systematical
method of studying work to obtain
the best use of human material
Resources in carrying out the
specified activity
WORK MEASUREMENT
 
The application of technique
designed to establish the time for a
qualified worker to carry out a
specified task when working in a
defined condition
 
 METHOD STUDY
 
Method study is a systematical
recording and critical examination of
ways of doing things in order to make
improvement.

 
 Values that can be added to Square
Fashions by implementing Workstudy
 Actual Efficiency
 Realistic targets
 Actual manpower requirement
 Actual machine requirement
 Factories CPM – This is a key factor when it comes to order
costing.
 Open capacity – To avoid unnecessary air freights
 Analyze needle down time
 Proper way of doing garment engineering
 Pilot Run
 Analyze feeding time
 Analyze the lost times
 Reduce unnecessary helping work

 IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY
 REDUCE TIME OF PRODUCTION
 IMPROVE QUALITY
 REDUCE THE COST OF PRODUCTION

METHODS
STANDARD MINUTE VALUE
(S.M.V)
The time required for an average worker to
perform a given duty under the given working
conditions.
Observed time =average cycle time
 
Basic time =Observed time X Observed rating
Standard rating

 S.M.V = Basic time + Allowance

TYPES OF ALLOWANCES
 
 
MACHINE ALLOWANCES

PERSONEL & FATIGUE ALLOWANCES

 COST PER MINUTE
 
CPM =
 
TOTAL OVER HEAD COST FOR THE MONTH
NO OF SMV EARNERS X WORKING MINUTES X EFFICIENCY
 
 
SMV= BASIC TIME+ALLOWANCES
Cycle Time = 0.60,0.70,0.65,0.60,0.65
Observe time = 3.2 / 5
= 0.64
Rating = 85%
Basic time = Observe time X observe rating
Standard rating
= 0.64 X 85/100
= 0.54
SMV = Basic time +Allowance
= 0.54+15%
SMV = 0.62
 TYPES OF LOST TIME
 
WW- WAITING FOR WORK
CD - CUTTING DELAY
CM - CUTTING MISTAKE
MB - MACHING BREAK DOWN
RW – RE-WORK
PF - POWER FAILURE
CS - COLOUR SHADING
LF - LINE FEEDING
 By maintaining daily,weekly and monthly
lost time reports the lost times can be
analyzed and corrective & preventive
actions can be taken to minimize the lost
times.
 All the feeding delays can be monitored &
analyzed by maintaining proper feeding
time reports
HOW TO MEASURE THE
IMPROVEMENT IN A COMPANY
 
MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES

1) EFFICIENCY
2) COST PER MINUTE
 
EFFICIENCY CALCULATION
 
EARNED MINUTES =PRODUCED QTY. X SMV
 
AVAILABEL MINUTES =SMV EARNERS X WORKING MTS.
 
EFFICIENCY % = EARNED MINUTES X 100
AVAILABEL MINUTES
1 Example: -
 
PRODUCTION = 800
GMT SMV = 10
NO OF SMV EARNERS = 20
WORKING MINUTES = 480
AVAILBLE MINUTES = 20 x 480
= 9600
EARNED MINUTES = 10 x 800
= 8000
 
EFFICIENCY = 83.33%
 
TARGET CALCULATION
 
TARGET FOR A SINGLE OPERATION =WORKING MTS. X EFF%

SMV
 
TARGET FOR A PRODUCTION TEAM
 
=NO OF WORKERS X WORKING MINUTES X EFF %
TOTAL GARMENT SMV
 
 Costing & Capacity Booking
 The SMV or SAM is a very important factor when it comes to costing
as well as capacity booking.
 The following is an example of capacity booking.
 Capacity filling should be done in minutes.Which means the marketing
department will have to sell the minutes available of the company.

Working Minutes = 480/day (For 8hrs.)

No of workers / line = 25
Available minutes / line = 25*480 = 12000mts
No of lines in the factory = 20
Total available mts./ Day = 12000*20
= 240000 mts.
 Cont.
 No of working days / month = 24
Available minutes / month = 5760000mts.
Average factory efficiency = 65%
Actual available mts. / month = 3744000mts.
Actual available hrs / month = 62400Hrs.

 This 62400hrs. Is called as the factories capacity

 So as an example if a buyer comes with a style with a smv of 10 mts.

The factory which has the above capacity will be able to do only
374400pcs.
 C&M Costing
 SMV / SAM is a very critical factor when it comes to C&M costin
C&M = SMV * CPM
As an example if the smv of a garment is 10 mts
and the CPM of a factory is 0.03$,

C&M = 10 * 0.03
= 0.30$ / piece
= 3.60$ / Dz.
This directly shows the relationship between the smv and the CPM
for the C&M costing of a garment.
