Reduce Standard Time (SAM) of a Garment Style

You might be also knowing how the standard time of a garment style is calculated using PMTS data or through time study method. You have standard time for all the products and styles you are making in your factory.

Now the question is how to reduce Standard Time (SAM) of a Garment Style?

I don’t need to mention the importance of reducing the standard time of your styles for a garment factory. After the reduction of the existing garment SAM, you will get a new standard time for the same product. The reduced standard time will result in reduced direct labour cost and increased labour productivity.

I am considering that you are already using sewing machines attachments, folders and guides and you have using the correct standard time. Even after that, there are two ways of reducing the standard time of a garment.

1. By using an automated sewing machine.
