What this course is

A free, self-paced industrial engineering course for apparel factories: method study and time study, standard minute values, operation bulletins, line balancing, capacity and production planning, and lean and DMAIC improvement applied to real sewing floors. Three modules, each ending with a five-question quiz.

Who it is for

  • • Industrial engineers and IE trainees in apparel factories
  • • Production supervisors and line chiefs
  • • Planners who must commit to a delivery date
  • • Merchandisers who need to test a factory's capacity claim

What you will be able to do

  • • Run a time study and calculate a standard minute value with rating and allowances
  • • Build an operation bulletin and balance a line against a target output
  • • Convert available minutes and efficiency into a defensible capacity figure
  • • Identify the bottleneck and the waste that cost the most, in that order
  • • Structure an improvement project through DMAIC with measured before and after
