Executive summary
Beximco is one of the largest and established textile companies in Bangladesh from the very
beginning it has invested on the garments sectors. In Bangladesh, RMG industry is one of the
most promising one to developing national growth. Beximco is one of the garments companies
of the Beximco group. Beximco has advanced machineries, skillful workers, and efficient
management teams. Beximco has built up the cost leadership in the market. It is very much
focused in its raw materials and its quality. They always try to provide their products at
reasonable prices. They always provide the better quality output to the customers at more
desirable prices than its competitors. The company has got the cost leadership for a longer
period. The factory is situated at the EPZ, Savar and the head quarter is in the Gazipur. The
Beximco has strong partnership with the world class brand like Wal-Mart, JC Penny, and Target
etc. Beximco is providing them quality products in cheaper prices than its competitors. Thus,
they have a strong sustainable relationship. Moreover, when they do not have any order from the
outside, the factory produces products for “Yellow” which is one of the clothing brands of the
Beximco itself. The RMG industry of Bangladesh will have higher growth and higher
profitability in future. As the Beximco Fashion Limited is producing at its highest operating
capacity, it can increase its line so that it can produce more and earn more profit. Beximco is
financially a solvent company. Though, they deliberately delay on the payment of the labors for
this reason the rise of the strike. For this, it can build bad impress to the foreign buyers about
them and sometimes they loss their contracts. So, to avoid those problems they should pay their
workers in time. And to stop further working unrest within the company itself, it can initiate
effective yet compatible incentive plans and appraisals to make sure that its services are
delivered at optimum and therefore keep the status intact. The competitors of Bangladesh like
India, China, Thailand, Indonesia etc. are getting help from their government to attract the
foreign buyers. So, the Bangladeshi government should take these sorts of action to pull the
foreign buyers. Thus, the RMG sector of the Bangladesh can grow bigger and become global
leader in the garments industry.
Introduction

Industrial Park, a vertically integrated self-contained facility. This facility provides ready access to captive
power generation, water purification, liquid nitrogen, waste water treatment and other key
infrastructure. The Group global clients include some of the world best known brands including BT,
BASF, Chevron, Calvin Klein, H&M, JC Penney, Macys, Zara, UNICEF, Royal Doulton and Villeroy & Boch.
The Group is also the largest ceramics exporter and has an investment in GMG Airlines, the largest
private commercial airline in Bangladesh and in Unique Hotels & Resorts, which owns the Westin Hotel
in Bangladesh.
Beximco establish a long time ago, it becomes a brand for this time of market industry. After
being continuing business the world face a great pandemic which shut down the whole world
working activity. But things are changing day by day all the government give permission to get
back to start work with the consider of perfect protection sanitation. Beximco also start their
factory work with the proper sanitation. For the pandemic their all the work was totally off in this
time market face some need demand which is have to be full fill by the industries. The current
situation our Bangladesh government set some limitation in worker attendance to reduce the
corona effected chances so being maintain the government law Beximco also sets their worker
level and proper sanitation working environment. For the reason Beximco also has demand from
the market. To fulfill this demand Beximco CEO wants to produce fabrics to meet that need
within a 2 months working amount. So to efficiently produce that demand product they followed
with the constraint management. They also set their every manufacture work station in a line
balancing as so to achieve the desired output rate with smallest number of workstation. And for
the assemble the line regarding with the low number of work force he decided to produce 160
units of ladies kurti per 7 hours shift per week at least the next 2 months. Their operation
manager also sets the working station by their own working elements. Also they make a
precedence diagram so that it is easy to visualize the immediate predecessors better.
Because, it helps the plans to be executed on less idle time and as follows:
The focus should be on balancing flow, not on balancing capacity. It will make the Beximco to
reach their outcome they want from the current working ability.
Capacity Maximizing the output and efficiency of every resource may not maximize the
throughput of the entire system. An hour lost at a bottleneck or constrained resource is an hour
lost for the whole system. ̶An hour saved at a no bottleneck resource does not make the system
more productive. Inventory is needed only in front of bottlenecks and in front of assembly and
shipping points. We are going to show one product from Beximco to represent how constraint
management works and how it should be done, avoiding all the constraint. It can help them to
make idle time into a working time so that each and every single moment they can do their work
more efficiently because of the time is very short with a long time frame break so to cover come
this situation they need a proper constraint plan to rectify their work with the low number of
workers.
For manufacturing to preparing kamiz for the customer Beximco sets 3 different work stations or
step each and every work station or step has their own work sector to do. To line balance so that
there is even flow of production from one work station to the next to minimize any delay.
Beximco has mass production of clothing. The company runs their manufacturing process at
their own factory. Including various steps, it starts from receiving fabrics to packaging and
shipping. We have named each step as specific letter. Let’s explain these steps in the followings_
Bottleneck:
Just like other work force these types of work station also have bottleneck for the
Beximco. And for them Work element “H” is considered to be the bottleneck among all
the work elements. In this step, workers have to check or inspect all the clothes just to
ensure that those fall in a quality standard. Moreover, it assures the previous steps are
maintaining a quality standard which is done by human hands whereas, other steps are
completing by machines. Technology takes shorter time than human and for this situation
worker number is low. These are the reasons for work element “H” taking the longest
time which is why this step is being viewed as a bottleneck.
Analysis and findings
In this section of report we are showing all the calculation that reaches the level of efficiency so
that Beximco can reach their goal. This type of calculation that helps to visualize the planning of
makes the station work with producing their quality standard product. We are started with the
assembling work frame with their working time that needs to finish their order work. Then, we
calculate the cycle time for each unit product that actually five the total time that is used to need
to make the full product. Then we use the cycle time value into the theoretical minimum number
which indicates the number of stations need making a product in this case we get 3 stations to
fulfill our product. Through this way of working Beximco can save 45.5 idle times we can be
very beneficial to produce more in quantity. it also shows the 90.37% efficiency with the
balance delay of 9.63%
Taking from the work station explanation set the working station with 10 different alphabetic
names. Also include their each own working time and in the chat their also a immediate
predecessors which indicated the co- relation between each other.
Due to corona pandemic all the outlets of Beximco were closed last Two and half months. The
CEO of the Brximco decides to produce more clothes to make profit. So he is setting up and
assembly line to produced 160 unites per 7 hours shift per week at least the next 2 months with
the efficient line balancing.
The following table identifies the work elements, time and immediate predecessors:
We know,
C = 1/r where, 7 hours in to second is 25200 and the amount of unit is 160 units
25200
= 160
=157.5 seconds.
That means Beximco have to spend 157.5 seconds to complete the whole work for making one
ladies kurti.
Sum of the work element time is 427 seconds so we can put the values in TM formula.
We know that,
∑𝑡
TM= 𝑐
𝟒𝟐𝟕

=2.711 ~𝟑 stations.
To make on ladies kurti in the time of 157.5 they need 3 station complete

In the table using the trial and error method to make each station number 1, station number 2,
station number 3, are work as in group with the 45.5 sec idle time.
We know that,
=3(157.5) – 427 where, n is the number of station total=3 and c is the cycle time
which is 157.5 and total time is 427
= 45.5 sec
Doing with 3 stations within the cycle time of 157.5 Beximco can save 45.5 sec to produce
more.
We know that,

We know that,
Beximco began to emerge as a fashion brand despite the existing fact that Bangladesh was still
new to the fashion industry. Beximco benefits hundreds of thousands of people while providing
service to consumers. The customers also include foreigners visiting Bangladesh and as a result.
Beximco was mentioned in the guide to Bangladesh. Beximco is dedicated to bring about
positive change in the lives of disadvantaged artisans and underprivileged rural women. So
Beximco always concern about their product quality and customer feedback. Although in this
current pandemic for a big challenge situation for to manufactured with the new government
guideline. So they came up with proper planning which will meet the need of market with
limited amount of recourses.
