b) Reduce sewing Bust – At sewing time need to train the people to complete their tusk by single bust.

c) Remove unnecessary motion – At sewing time some people use hand wheel to set needle for positioning , unnecessary body jerking , parts folding and aligning twice or more - this is a inherent work content . Need train the people to avoid this work.

d) Daily set plan for production and quality :- Have to set preplan how to achieve production target and maintain the asking quality level.

e) Worker motivation :- To get less absenteeism and more productivity you need to motivate the worker.

f ) Operation balancing :- By using capacity study Everybody can identified what is the individual process capacity .From this we found some operation have below and some operation have over capacity . Need to balance from over to below.

g ) Job accountability :- All Factory staffs are responsible for production. Must record the lost minute . Need to call a meeting for open discussion to minimize the lost minute –it will be daily or weekly.

h ) Real time production monitoring and chasing :- In production floor every second is valuable . Need to record hourly production and find out the root cause of low production and also make a corrective action to resolve this. Always try to chess your production time to time , it should be hourly not end of the day.
