Evaluation of production processes and operator performance of ironing deparment in suit production

Abstract

As most of the methods are used for productivity determination in apparel industry require high costs, time and effort, various difficulties are experienced in practice. Work sampling is one of the cheapest, easily implemented method, in order to observe the any firm's efficiency and to get the required results in a short notice. In this study, the production process of ironing department is examined and operator performances are evaluated. In order to determine the level of efficient activities and to minimize the inefficient ones, operators' activities are measured by using work sampling method. The obtained values are statistically controlled and reasons of inefficient activities are stated.
