Study on Non Productive Time (NPT) of T-Shirt Manufacturing

Abstract

NPT in Industrial Engineering term is Non-Productive Time. The time that is spent by an operator without producing any garment (standard minutes) like 'set up time' is called nonproductive time. This is the major problem of low production of garments manufacturing. In this thesis we have try to collect some data and how to improve productivity. We have find out the possible non-productive time (NPT) for sewing and other department, and captured the non-productive time (NPT) different type of problem. This thesis we have show the comparison of sewing section and other department. We have realize the major non-productive time continuously. If proper work has been done of NPT we can achieve proper production and minimize the higher cost of production.
