Everything About Engineering

Tools and Techniques of Industrial Engineering Used in Apparel Industry Concept of Industrial Engineering (IE): Industrial Engineering  (IE) is concerned with the design, Improvement, and installation of integrated system of men, material, and machines for the benefit of mankind .It draws upon specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical and physical sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.  IE Tools of Industrial Engineering:  The main aim of tools are to improve the productivity of the organization by optimum utilization of organizations resources: men, materials, and machines. The major tools used in industrial engineering are:  Production planning and control. Inventory control. Job evaluation. Facilitates planning and material handling. System analysis. Linear programming. Simulation. Network analysis (PERT, CPM). Queuing models.

Roles of Industrial Engineer in Apparel Industry Introduction  An Industrial Engineer is an engineer who works in a factory. His job is to solve any problems which come up when the factory is making a product which has been designed by Design Engineers.  The role of the Industrial Engineer is to effectively and efficiently utilize software technologies, machine tools, math and scientific concepts, and human resources in order to solve problems, provide products or services at minimal cost, and produce on time at the optimum output level to satisfy customer demands.  Roles of Industrial Engineer Industrial Engineers are the world’s best communicators, as they train drivers to understand the importance of production and delivery output, use queuing theory to design on-time package delivery systems, and devise simulations or supply chain tools for their system integration tasks.  Industrial Engineer s serve as managers in small and medium sized industries because

Line Balancing in Apparel Production Line Balancing  Line Balancing is leveling the workload across all processes in a cell or value stream to remove bottlenecks and excess capacity. A constraint slows the process down and results if waiting for downstream operations and excess capacity results in waiting and absorption of fixed costs. Line Balancing in apparel industry It is the allocation of  sewing machine , according to style and design of the garments. It depends on what types of garments we have to produce. It is done to increasing  productivity .  When you consider mass production, garments are produced in lines or set of machines instead of single machine. A line may be assembly line, modular line or section, a line set with online finishing and packing. A line includes multiple work stations with varied work contents. Production per hour is varied depending on work content (standard minutes of particular task/operation), allocation of total manpower to a particu
