Section Q no.

Question 3 = Above Expectation

Add 1 GSD/SAM (for 1 Is there an Industrial Engineer(IE)/production technical team There is an IE/production technical team working for all buyers' styles.
Industrial costing & capacity who works on style level General Sewing Data (GSD), GSD/SAM/SMV is calculated upon sample request. Data are used for costing and
Engineer planning) /Standard Allowance Minutes(SAM) / Standard Minutes capacity planning.
Value (SMV) analysis in sample development for costing and
capacity planning?

Add 1 Job Class 2 Is there an IE/production technical team who works on Job There are SOP in Job Classification calculation and operator ability calculation
Industrial Classification: A, B, C,…. to fit the job to the right operator? and clear indication for supervisor monitoring. All operators from cutting,
Engineer sewing/linking/assembly, pressing/plating and QC are included.
- there are 20% workers in multiple skill set.

Add 1 Line Balancing 3 Is there an IE/production technical team who uses the There are actual time output per operator and defect rate monitoring with
Industrial GSD/SAM/SMV data for line balancing and production supervisor react to the output as per target in hourly basis.
Engineer monitoring?

Add 1 Work station/ 4 Is there an IE/production technical team who is responsible All the machine setting and template can be made by in- house workshop.
Industrial layout/working in design/ prepare/set up operators work station/layout and
Engineer aids/template/ working aids, such as template, folder and materials
working handling, etc.?
method/etc.

Add 1 Operator training, 5 Is there a process of setting up sewing/linking/ assembly line Yes. All sewing lines are properly set. There is clear indication of machine setting
Industrial tools/machine and conduct operators training per new style? per machine. Each operator has clear indication of work motions and output
Engineer maintenance target. There are experience and sufficient mechanics for machine maintenance
and adjustment.

Add 1 Lean/one piece 6 Is there LEAN principles/concepts/processes; one piece/small There is LEAN manufacturing concepts in the manufacturing process: Line
Industrial flow/small bundle bundle flow in the sewing line which show smooth line balancing is good as there is no bottle neck operations. The rejects are low. The
Engineer flow balancing, quick response, less: inventory in each operations are low.
inventory/WIP/wastage/rejects, etc. in the manufacturing
processes?

Add 1 Production 7 Is there an IE/production technical team to monitor the This department has been running for more than 3 years. There are result shown
Industrial efficiency & production efficiency and set up continuous improvement that improvement shown in GSD/SAM/SMV per year.
Engineer continuous target in GSD/SAM/ SMV?
improvement

Add 1 Lean/one piece 7a Lean Concept

Industrial flow/small bundle • Create more value with less work; work smart;
• Eliminate 7 wastes* from business processes to maximize profitability
Engineer flow
• Two cores of lean concept, 1) JIT; 2) Autonomation
• JIT (Just in Time) – “What is needed, when is needed, and in the amount needed!”
• Autonomation – Built in quality during manufacturing processes & visualization of problems
• Philosophy of Lean – All employees Kaizen (Continuous Improvement)
*7 Wastes (Defect, Transport, Waiting, Inventory, Movement, Extra Processes. Over-production)

Add 1 New technology 8 Is the management has a regular exposure to the latest Factory management shown knowledge of latest sewing machine technology and
Industrial technologic and willing to buy new machines to improve the some new machines bought this year.
Engineer quality and efficiency?
