Productivity is one of the performance measuring tools widely used by garment production houses. By improving the productivity of your factory you can reduce the per piece production cost, improve factory capacity and reduce your production lead time. If you are not yet started working on improving your factory productivity, start improving it now. Otherwise, it will be late and you will lose potential earnings.
Labour productivity can be improved in various ways. Some of the productivity improvement methods are discussed in this article.
No need to mention that garment manufacturers are facing challenges on production cost, producing quality products, labour shortage and shorter delivery time. To beat these challenges you don’t have a choice other than improving labour productivity of the factory.
