Invisibility of the machine operation became a thing of the past.

To achieve everyday production target, factory is conducting several activities such as, time study, line balancing, and training to the operator. However, have you ever seen the data of the sewing machine operation ratio?
We understand this situation that we cannot be able to visualize the data is an issue. To visualize and analyze, we have conducted survey in the market and collected over 100 factories with total 760 machine data.

Average operation ratio is 61% and needle time is only 18%.

Average operation ratio is 61% and needle time is only 18%

To segregate sewing operation, there are 3 types of time.
1. Needle time
2. Handling time
3. Other

We think ratio of the those 3 are related to the health of factory production strongly.Each factory should have trend of the operation ratio and that number must have variety of the reasons depending on the factory or production line.To mention several types of reasons of less operation ratio are, operator might be waiting for next pieces, operator is not skilled to produce stably, or might be the health condition of the operator is not well.

The key is, 1st we need to grasp the hourly or daily changes of production on real time basis and once there is problem we take immediate action for the improvement.
