 Introduction
Plant layout is the arrangement of industrial facilities in a
manufacturing plant, crucial for optimizing production
processes, reducing costs, enhancing productivity, and ensuring
a safe working environment.

 Consideration of a Good Plant Layout

The process involves creating pathways for efficient material

flow, minimizing bottlenecks, enhancing ergonomics, and
adhering to safety regulations and industry standards for
continuous production.

 Lighting

Factory lighting is the arrangement of lighting in the factory by which it provides clear and bright light at the
working plant for the safety and security of the employees.

Importance of Lighting In Garment Factory –

 Proper lighting in a workplace is important both for the workers and the manufacturer. Poor lighting at the
workplace leads to eye strain, fatigue, and accidents, and too much light causes safety and health issues like glare-
related headaches and stress. Both these scenarios lead to more errors hence more reworks, poor quality and low
productivity.

It should give a good distribution of light

 Fitting should be simple and easy to clean

6
 Types of Lighting

1. General Lighting ,
2. Emergency Lighting ,
3. Task Lighting

1.General Lighting –

Lamp – To achieve uniform distribution of light over the working plane.

(Examples –Wipro Lighting, Tube Lights)

Side lighting –To achieve additional illumination on the working plane.

(Examples – LED Lights)
2. Emergency Lighting –

Suppose you are working as an engineer in any apparel industry and suddenly a
spark begins to produce in any live machine. In this condition, you will be
allowed to off the main switch in the area so it will be dark to exit the worker
without any accidents you will use emergency lighting.
(Examples – LED Light, LED Light Bulb)

3. Task Lighting –

90 % of produced light flux comes on the working surface.

(Example – LED Dimmable Machine Light)

 HOW GARMENT INDUSTARY DEPARTMENT ARE LINK TO EACH OTHER
Design and
Merchandising
The design department creates the
initial concepts for the garments,
considering fashion trends and
customer preferences.
Merchandisers then take these
designs and translate them into
production-ready specifications,
determining things like materials,
costing, and quantities .
Sourcing and
Production Planning
Once the merchandise plan is
finalized, the sourcing department
procures the necessary materials, like
fabrics, trims, and buttons. The
production planning department
creates a production schedule,
outlining the order in which
garments will be made and ensuring
all materials and labor are available
on time.
13
Production
The production department is the
heart of the garment industry,
where the garments are actually
assembled. This department
includes various sections like
cutting, sewing, embroidery,
finishing, and quality control. Each
section works together to ensure the
garments are made according to
specifications and meet quality
standards.
HOW ARE THE DEPARTMENT OF FASHION SMITH
COMPANY LINKED WITH EACH OTHER

1. Fabric and trims are stored in a designated storage room ,

ideally located in the basement , close to the cutting area to
minimize material handling.

14
2. After a quality check, fabric is spread and
cut in the cutting area. This area is typically
located on the basement for better access to
fabric rolls .

3. The cut garment pieces are then

efficiently transferred to the stitching
department. The stitching department
would be on the first floor .

15
4. After stitching, garments undergo
inspection. Ideally, the inspection area would
be close to the stitching line to avoid
unnecessary movement.

5.Finally, inspected garments are sent to

the finishing department. The finishing
department is often located on the ground
floor for ease of access and proximity to
packaging and shipping areas.

16
Problems in Production

 Inefficient Material Flow

 WIP
 Hindered Floor of Material
 No of gates in production Floor

17
 Solutions
 The layout will be redesigned to reduce product travel time and distance, thereby reducing waste and
improving efficiency.

 Position machines, workstations, and storage strategically to eliminate bottlenecks, maximize

workspace, and ensure smooth workflow.

 Increase the number of exit gates in the production floor.

 Design the layout with worker safety and comfort in mind, providing ample space, proper lighting,
and easy access to tools and materials.​
