ABSTRACT

The garment production systems are a combination of production processes, materials handling, personnel and equipment that direct workflow and produce finished garments. It is a system that depicts how the two-dimensional fabric is transformed into a three-dimensional garment in a manufacturing system (Chuter 1995; Shaeffer 2000). The names of the production systems are based on the various factors like utilisation of a number of machines to assemble a garment, layout of machines, total number of operators involved to produce a garment and number of pieces moving in a production line during the production of a garment (Burbidge 1991).
