Total order quantity 20,000 Delivery within 45 days (for production) Available capacity Consider the following daily capacity when planning • Cutting 1000 basic garments • Sewing machine 300 m/cs • Washing 600 garments • Finishing 700 garments baseAll departments operate at 80% efficiency. Apparel manufacturing is the mass assembly of clothing. Making clothes requires a lot of planning and timing knowledge. The coordination of contractors and their accuracy play an important role in meeting production deadlines. In most cases, clothing production is very responsive in order to ship goods to stores for the upcoming season. Having a late order can have a detrimental effect on the business. To create a production schedule, start with the finish date and work backward to establish a schedule that fits the requirements.

BASIC CAPACITY CALCULATIONS • In the clothing industry, most companies still work according to standard minutes, which are the average calculated or measured time to produce a garment. A basic calculation can be as follows:• 8 working hours per day = 8x 60=480 minutes• 10 operators per shift• Capacity = 8x60x10=4800 minutes per day• Standard minutes for a T-shirt = 10 standard mins at 80% efficiency = 4800/10 = 480 pieces per day • 480x42=20160 • The order will therefore be ready for delivery in almost 42 days.
