Calculation of labor requirement :
Before a new style comes onto a line, it is necessary to establish the operation sequence, the time, the type of equipment and the attachments required to manufacture the order. Management must have this information before the commencement of the order, so that the line can be balanced and laid out in such a way as to maximize productivity.
There are two methods which can be used to set up a line:
Method 1
Calculate how many operators will be necessary to achieve a given production rate per hour.
Method 2
Calculate how many garments can be produced by a given number of operators.
One should know the total: work content of garment, standard time, estimated production per day, efficiency of operator, pieces per machine = 480 min/SAM.
Labor required = Estimated production per day / pieces per machine
