Causes of bad organization

Analyzing the production in many garment industry is to see that there are several causes of bad organization and to:

1.      Causes of the work areas of employees

§          poor organization of work,

§          poor transport material,

§          insufficient training of workers,

§          poor working conditions,

§          weak protection in the workplace,

§          fluctuation of employees,

§          inadequate schedule of work and rest,

§          inappropriate system of compensation,

§          poor interpersonal relations and

§          various subjective reasons.

Needs fashion industry

At today's competitive market place, there is a need for business organizations to ensure continual improvement. Manufacturing garment companies experience growing pressure to improve quality, increase productivity, and reduce cost with limited resources. Technological system of garment production must enable expected quality of product, necessary scope of production, delivery of ready-made garments in the expected time, maximum use of capacity with minimum expenses. Because of a variety of designs of clothing articles and a great number of procedures in the production process, deviations and faults in different places and various frequencies occur. 

System OBM

Garment manufacturers in fashion industry are divided into leaders and those who copy (copyist). Leaders design a new product, impose and dictate new fashion helped by powerful centers of design and modern technology together with marketing company. Manufacturers who copy are late with production, but find their place in satisfying a large garment production market. Often they don’t strike back with the quality of products but there is also a completion between them.

The garment manufactures in Serbia work 80% by CMT (Cut-Make-Trim) system. Therefore, as wages and other operating costs rise they are largely required to swallow the price increases or risk losing clients to less expensive firms in lower-wage countries.  (Original brand name manufacturing) production for international markets is most likely currently unattainable for all but the most competitive apparel manufacturing firms already actively engaged. Especially as design and marketing, key components of the OBM production.

Why lean production

Production in many company demonstrate us one of way for must change organization in  garment manufacturing, because:

• reflects and supports target attainment and quality values for short term and long-term periods,
• development and engagement of all employees for improvement within the organization,
• resources of an organization (finance, IT, height-tech textile material and new cutting and sewing technologies) are coordinated with the quality of garment and organization values,
• overview of all processes in a garment company and change of the existing combination of processes, emphasis on shortening the technological time,
• indirect connection with customer satisfaction,
• organization will be successful only if it adequately motivates its employees,
• quantitative evaluation as better quality, increase of productivity and
• reduced stocks.

Development garment industry

Garment industry throughout the world has the same problem, and those are large supplies of finished garments that cannot find their customers. The industry of highly or less developed countries faces many crises and constant fall of production, loss of markets, workers being redundant, closing –up factories and moving production into countries with cheap manpower. Developed countries were forced to intensify researches of automatic systems of technology processes, thus leading to progress in the field of mehatronics, automatization and robotics and inventing new so-called intelligent sewing machines. Therefore it is necessary to pay attention to the education of engineers for garment industry and try to master technology production processes by applying the latest production techniques and technologies in order to adjust and survive on the market.
