Why Measure Sewing Line Efficiency?

Line efficiency is one of the most common KPIs in the garments industry. For different benefits, we need to measure efficiency. In this article, we will discuss why to measure sewing line efficiency.

There are many reasons for calculating line efficiency. Some of those are listed here
✔ Comparing actual efficiency with target efficiency to get deviation and to do improvement more.
✔ Comparing efficiency amongst lines to identify lower performer lines and help to improve efficiency.
✔ To identify factory CM value
✔ Used line efficiency in real-time capacity planning.
✔ It is necessary to calculate the performance incentive for stitching operators and other personnel involved in the manufacturing process.

✔ Maintenance of line efficiency and average factory efficiency up to a specified level is the responsibility of the production team and industrial engineers. So They must have to monitor line efficiency if they want to understand their line performance.
✔ Measuring efficiency is essential to identify areas where efficiency can be improved.
