 Operator
 Workers employed on the apparel production floor are called operators. Operators are further classified by prefixing the department they work in like
Sewing operator, cutting operator, finishing operator and further by the type of job they are doing like Kansai operator or side seam operator.
 Supervisor
 A supervisor is the person who manages a production section or line. Supervisor is a experienced operator who is promoted to act as a supervisor.
Generally supervisors don’t actually work on the sewing machines but if it is required they might work to help in production. Some of the
responsibilities of supervisors are to balance the line, train the operators and everything needed operate the line on maximum efficiency.
 Feeding helper
 A feeding helper is a worker responsible to provide materials to a sewing line and assist in other supporting functions like recording production data,
absentees etc. A feeding helper is not skilled to help with the production operations.
 Spreader or spreading operator
 Spreader or spreading operator in apparel industry is a person who spreads the fabric into lays in the cutting department. This task can be performed
by fully automatic spreading machines as well in this case the person operating the machine is also called spreader or spreading operator
 Helper
 Helper is a low skilled worker employed in the production who doesn’t directly perform an operation but assist operators by performing small tasks
like trimming , cutting , folding , disposing etc.. A helper doesn’t operate any machine or iron boxes.
 Importance of SMV in the Apparel Industry
 The reason why we use these are given below:
 SMV is calculated for doing cost of garments
 It is used for the calculation of target and setting the right target
 To calculate the efficiency of workers
 SMV is calculated for making a plan and take effective factory production decisions.
 For Calculating SMV – Standard Minute Value in Garments you must have a proper idea of the
machine operating procedure and working process of workers. Close observation by an Industrial
Engineer is required to calculate the right SMV for a particular product or style in your factory.
 Basically, SMV is the sum of the basic time requirement and allowance applicable to it. Normally
allowance is given at the rate of 10% based on efficiency.
 Calculation of SMV in Garments
 SMV = (Basic Time + Allocated Allowance)
 The formula of Basic Time = Observe Time x Rating Factor
 Basic Time
 Basic time is the most likely time required to make garments considering observed time and applicable rating factors.
 Observe Time
 Time is taken to do work when an observer is observing closely and recording the worker’s work speed.
 Calculation of Observe Time = Total Cycle Time is divided by the Number of Cycles
 Cycle Time
 Cycle Time is the time between starting a garment manufacturing and finishing those garments.
 Rating Factor
 The rating factor is assigned based on an evaluation of worker performance which is conducted through eye judgment. A worker can be fast, or slow and the rating is on a scale of 100% to lower.
 Costing SMV is calculated for sending SMV information to buyers. Normally 5% additional time is added to the actual SMV.
 Costing SMV = Actual SMV + (Actual SMV x 5%)
 Example of Calculation of SMV in Garments
 Suppose for making a product the following assumption is there
 Observe Time = 25 Minutes
 Rating of Operator = 80%
 Considering Allowance = 10%
 Basic Time = 25minutes x 80% = 20 minutes
 Allowance = 20 x 10% = 2 Minute
 So, SMV = 20 minutes + 2 minutes = 22 minutes for making a particular garments product
 Calculation of Capacity of Single Operator in Garments
 If an operator works for 10 hours a day
 30 minutes to make a product
 Capacity = (1 operator x 10 hours x 60 minutes)/30 Minutes = 20 Pieces of Garments by an operator
 If you assign 100 operators then your capacity will be = 100 operators x 20 pieces = 2000 pieces a day
 Calculation of Efficiency Percent
 SMV 22 Minutes
 Working Hours 10 a Day
 Number of Operators 100 person
 Actual Production 2000 pieces
 Efficiency (%) = (2000 pieces x 22 minute)/(100 operators x 10 hours x 60 minutes) x 100 = 73.33%
 whereas,
 Target = (10 hours x 60 minutes x 100 operators)/smv 22 minutes = 2727 Pieces of garments
 Standard Allowed Minute (SAM) in garments and formulas
 SAM is crucial in the garment industry for measuring the time required to perform a
specific task. The Standard Allowed Minute (SAM) is used to determine the standard
time for an operation in garment manufacturing.
 SAM Formula
 Basic formula for SAM = (Observed Time x Rating Factor x Allowance Factor)/100
 Where:
 Observed Time: The actual time taken by the worker to complete the task. This is the
actual time it takes for a skilled worker to perform a specific task under normal working
conditions.

 The Standard Minute Value (SMV) for pattern making and garment cutting can vary widely based on the complexity of the design,
equipment used, and the skill level of the workers. Typically, SMV is measured in minutes per piece and can range significantly
depending on the specific garment and the technology or techniques employed.
 For instance, pattern making might involve tasks such as creating the initial patterns, grading (adjusting patterns for different sizes), and
marker making (arranging patterns on fabric for efficient cutting). Similarly, garment cutting involves laying out the fabric according to
the patterns, cutting the fabric accurately, and possibly bundling pieces for sewing.
 The SMV for these tasks would depend on factors like:
 Complexity of the garment patterns
 Accuracy required in cutting
 Number of layers cut at once
 Equipment used (manual vs. automated cutting machines)
 Worker skill level and efficiency
 Without specific details on the complexity and specifics of the garments, it's challenging to provide an accurate SMV. However, if you
have the SMV for these tasks based on your specific production environment and workforce, multiplied by the number of workers
dedicated to each task, we can calculate the total SMV for pattern making and garment cutting for 20 garments per day.

 To determine the minimum number of workers needed to achieve a
production target of 20 garments per day, you can only hire a whole
number of workers each worker specializing in one of the three types
they work 5 hours day answer in in total number of workers hired
 Let's say the Standard Minute Value (SMV) for pattern making is 30 minutes per garment, and for garment cutting, it's 20 minutes per garment.
 To calculate the number of workers needed:
 Pattern Making Workers: If it takes 30 minutes for one worker to complete one garment, working for 5 hours a day (300 minutes), each pattern making worker can make 10 garments (300 minutes / 30 minutes per
garment).
 So, to produce 20 garments per day, you'd need 2 pattern making workers (20 garments / 10 garments per worker).
 Garment Cutting Workers: If it takes 20 minutes for one worker to complete one garment, working for 5 hours a day (300 minutes), each cutting worker can handle 15 garments (300 minutes / 20 minutes per garment).
 So, to produce 20 garments per day, you'd need 1 cutting worker (20 garments / 15 garments per worker).
 Sewing Workers: Without the Standard Minute Value (SMV) for sewing, it's challenging to calculate the number of sewing workers required. If you have the SMV for sewing or any other tasks involved after cutting, I can
help calculate the number of sewing workers needed.
 Based on the provided SMV for pattern making and garment cutting, you'd need 2 pattern making workers and 1 garment cutting worker to achieve the production target of 20 garments per day within a 5-hour workday. If
you have the SMV for sewing or any other specific tasks, we can continue to determine the total number of workers needed.
 if the owrking hours per day is 6 and you are aloowed to hire 22 workers what would be
the best acheivable output per day each workers must be solely one of the 3 types and
should be in number of garments able to produce?
 Let's assume the following:
 Pattern making SMV: 30 minutes per garment
 Garment cutting SMV: 20 minutes per garment
 Given that the workday is 6 hours (360 minutes) and each worker specializes in one task:
 Pattern Making Workers: Each pattern making worker can make 12 garments in a 6-hour workday (360 minutes / 30 minutes per
garment).
 Garment Cutting Workers: Each cutting worker can handle 18 garments in a 6-hour workday (360 minutes / 20 minutes per garment).
 Given the constraint of 22 workers available:
 If you allocate all 22 workers to pattern making, the output would be 22 workers * 12 garments = 264 garments per day.
 If you allocate all 22 workers to garment cutting, the output would be 22 workers * 18 garments = 396 garments per day.
 This means that the best achievable output per day, given the constraints, would be 396 garments per day if all 22 workers were dedicated
solely to garment cutting.
 Adjusting the allocation of workers between pattern making and garment cutting can change the overall output, so the optimal distribution
may vary based on the specific needs or constraints of the production process.
