List of MIS Reports Made by IE Department in Garment Factories

To manage the production floor, production line, and sewing operators' work, garment factories used to collect data from the floor and prepare different types of production reports. MIS reports prepared by the industrial engineering (IE) department play an important role in managing a factory and planning improvement projects. In this article, we will share a list of reports prepared by the IE team for the factory management. 

The list of production reports is categorized as Daily Reports, Weekly Reports, and Monthly Reports. All these reports are important to track factory performance from micro to macro levels. 

Assuming that you are working in a garment production unit, you might be using some of the following reports. If not, and you are planning to set up an industrial engineering department in your factory, or if you have just established an IE department, follow this list of reports for MIS reporting and data collection.

List of Daily Production Reports

Reports that are made daily are known as daily reports. The Industrial Engineering department prepares the following reports every day.

• Line efficiency report (See the sample Line Efficiency Report)
• Factory efficiency report
