Defining Standard Time in the Garment Industry

July 15, 2022 Method Time Cost Optimisation

Accurate SMVs are critical for garment manufacturing costing, capacity planning, line balancing and productivity. Establishing a precise SMV can however be extremely difficult when using traditional methods of work measurement. This is because production workers are neither robots nor machines, and do not work at a constant rate throughout the working day. Making accurate and consistent measurement is therefore very difficult.
GSDCost by Coats Digital makes the entire Work Measurement process more effective, accurate and user-friendly using Predetermined Time Standard. Use the world-leading fashion industry benchmark to calculate SMVs that are accurate, reliable and supportive of sustainable manufacturing excellence.
