| With competition getting stiffer, we need to look at garment manufacturing as a science and not an art that is where a great need of Garment Engineering and work study emerges. This subject will help the designers and Technologists to develop designs and Produce samples which are Production oriented; this will teach them what exactly they need to consider getting the maximum profit potential. It is a guide to better productivity, it is essential for the improvement of productivity and give the Production management teams the information to be more successful at their job. Without information of the kind produced through these techniques proper management is impossible. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Objective |
||||||||||||||||||
| Aim of this program is to get manufacturing and design to work together on the core objective i.e. ‘Profit’. The designers have to start thinking the best possible ways of creating a design which will suit the manufacturing in the most profitable way while the garment techs or sample makers will think of the most efficient way of construction. Sewing supervisors and Industrial Engineers will learn how to look at the way operators are working and how to improve sewing methods and to set standard times for the various operations that go together to make the garment. They will also be able to provide management with more information to allow management to make better informed decisions and manage more effectively resulting in: |
